“It’s not troublesome. There are a lot of people now. I’ll try my best to get Grandpa to help you first, hehe.”

The young lady smiled and skipped to the kitchen with the menu and the orders.

It was obvious that she was charmed by Liu Yanran, who was dressed in a formal suit and had an overflowing aura. It was obvious that Liu Yanran was rich, but she maintained a very polite attitude. Thus, she specially opened a back door for the two of them to prioritize cooking their dishes.

From her words, it could be seen that the chef here was the Old Master, and she was the Old Master’s granddaughter.

In that case, this Old Master was really not young. He was still running a shop and cooking at such an old age. How obsessed was he with cooking?

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but think about this. Then, he took out his phone and started playing, quietly waiting for the dishes to be served.

After about ten minutes, the young lady was right. A few dishes were served one after another.

It made a table at the side discuss this in a low voice speechlessly.

“Hey, no, we came first. Why did their dishes arrive before us? We’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“Look at that beauty. One look and you can tell that she’s rich. It’s a privilege. Let’s wait a little longer. The dishes should be coming soon. Are you afraid of waiting for good food?”

“That makes sense. Let’s wait a little longer and drink a few more glasses later.”

…

Ye Xuan was happy to hear their discussion and didn’t pay much attention to it. He retracted his attention and focused on the dishes in front of him.

The first dish that the young lady placed on the table was boiled cabbage. This dish looked like a few pieces of cabbage with colorless soup. At most, there was some salt and chicken essence.

However, there were actually many tricks in this soup.

It looked transparent like boiling water, but in fact, it was a stock made from large bones and some seasonings. Then, pork, mutton, and beef were minced. It was chopped into meat paste that would release juices with a pinch. It was stirred with some water and added to the turbid stock to make the soup clear. After doing this three times, the soup could go from being turbid to being as transparent as boiling water.

Ye Xuan naturally knew what was going on. After all, he had the skills of a divine-level chef and knew all the dishes in the world.

Therefore, he immediately picked up the spoon and took a sip to see if it was really boiled cabbage.

However, the moment the soup entered his mouth, Ye Xuan’s pupils suddenly constricted. The soup was soft in his mouth. It was warm but not astringent. It seemed tasteless but also all-encompassing. All the flavors were inside.

The fragrance lingered in his lips and teeth, leaving a lingering aftertaste. After drinking it, it was difficult not to take a second sip. He could only stop when he was full.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan had seen the world and had self-control. However, he could confirm that this shop was indeed not simple. There was no doubt about its culinary skills.

The fragrance assaulted his nose. Just by smelling it, he wanted to chew his tongue.

Liu Yanran was already craving it. She kept swallowing her saliva and stared at the dishes until her eyes turned green.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled. Just as he was about to ask Liu Yanran to eat, the attendant suddenly walked over with a plate and placed it on the table.

“Heh heh, this is a dish from Grandpa. It’s called the Imperial Prince Residence’s roasted deer tendon. It’s a dish that only the imperial family could eat back then. There aren’t many ingredients available either. Grandpa said that you’re someone who knows your stuff when you ordered dishes from the state banquet, so he gave it to you.”

Hearing this, Liu Yanran hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

“Ah, thank you, thank you so much.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Have a good meal.”

After the attendant finished speaking, she carried the tray and left with a smile, leaving the surrounding tables full of jealousy.

However, the dishes they ordered were all home-cooked dishes. They were definitely different from the state banquet dishes that Ye Xuan ordered. The price was different, so it was reasonable for them to give some freebies.

When Ye Xuan heard the name of this dish, waves instantly surged in his heart.

It was the Imperial Prince Residence’s roasted deer tendon. What kind of dish was this?

This dish could not be eaten on the market at all. Even if there was, most of it was fake. It was very difficult to eat the real thing.

This was because this was an extremely famous dish from the ancient palace. It was specially eaten by the emperor, the empress, and some favored concubines. Ordinary people could not even smell the fragrance, let alone eat it.

And now, this dish was placed in front of him. This…

Ye Xuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Since the boiled cabbage was genuine, there was naturally nothing to suspect about this dish.

However, Ye Xuan was very curious about the Old Master’s identity.

He casually spoke to Liu Yanran in a low voice.

“Let’s eat first. When Old Master is done, go and invite him over. I have something to say.”

Liu Yanran nodded with an impatient expression.

“Alright, Young Master. Shall I start eating?”

“Eat, eat. Eat more. Look at how thin you’ve become.”

Ye Xuan smiled and spoke caringly. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and ate with Liu Yanran. In a short while, he finished all the dishes, not even leaving a garlic clove.

He ate until his entire body felt comfortable and his soul was about to sublimate.

It was unknown if he didn’t eat it, but once he ate it, he realized that the delicacies of the past were simply as tasteless as chewing wax.

It could only be said to fill their stomachs. Meanwhile, the dishes on this table were considered delicacies that were worth tasting.

This made Ye Xuan feel emotional. This culinary skill was similar to the divine-level culinary skill given to him by the system. It was probably the ceiling of human delicacies.

It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious dishes. Ye Xuan was overjoyed.

It was indescribably satisfying.

At this moment, the sounds in the kitchen stopped. After a few breaths, a crippled old man with a wrinkled face and white hair crawled out of the kitchen.

He held a slightly yellowed white towel in his hand and kept wiping the sweat on his face and neck.

His face was flushed. It was obvious that it was extremely hot. However, even so, when he saw that the hall was filled with guests who were eating very happily, he revealed a gratified smile.

Liu Yanran remembered Ye Xuan’s instructions in her heart. Seeing that the Old Master was not busy, she immediately stood up and walked to him. She spoke extremely politely.

“Hello, Old Grandpa. My Young Master wants to invite you to come over and chat with you.”

After saying that, she made a “please” gesture.

The young lady who was serving the dishes was a little surprised when she heard this. She did not expect that the child would be called Young Master by such a rich sister.

Who was that little kid?

When the surrounding people heard this, they were also shocked. They looked at Ye Xuan and then at Liu Yanran, forgetting to eat.

Seeing Liu Yanran’s attitude, the Old Master was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Liu Yanran’s outfit and followed Liu Yanran’s hand to look at Ye Xuan.

After a while, he revealed a reserved smile and rubbed his hands.

“Hey, I’ll be right there. Please.”
