royal family

Shao Yan originally thought that there should be a long production cycle between shooting and being on TV, but he didn't know that the next morning, he found his photo in the morning newspaper that Yan's father read while having breakfast.

The whole family knew it when he saw it.They were discussing the contents of the newspaper around the dining table beside Yan's father's seat, and when they heard Shao Yan's voice coming downstairs, they all turned their heads to stare at him on the stairs.

After exercising, he took a shower to feel refreshed. Shao Yan was in a good mood, and when he saw this, he raised his hand generously to greet them.

"Morning."

"Yanyan!" Shao's mother called him, snatched the newspaper from Yan's father, and shook at him, "Is this really you?"

Shao Yan took it over and took a look, only to realize that the news of the exchange meeting was actually placed on the first page of the newspaper.Before entering the arena, the photo of him turning his head and waving goodbye to the media was edited into the background with several people he didn’t know. On the background, there were many photos of his head cut into a circle. The photo of him smiling while looking at the camera was also edited. Put it in a fairly conspicuous position.

The words in the newspaper are quite recognizable-"The first national art and culture exchange meeting was held, and all the provincial associations are blooming."

It's a decent title, but the content is completely different. One-third of the text is about Shao Yan, a mysterious member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from Province A.The editor of the newspaper didn't know what was going on, as if he had received a red envelope, he didn't want money and threw good words out.Not only spoke highly of Shao Yan's generosity and politeness when he entered the arena, but also described the conflict between him and Professor He very carefully from beginning to end in the later period, using precise words to fill his brain with blood, which made people couldn't help but get excited .

Shao Yan looked at it, although he didn't understand some places, and some details were different from what he had experienced, but between the lines, he could still clearly tell that the author of the article was deliberately moving public opinion towards something. Useful for his direction.

He didn't quite understand the reason why the other party did this, but he was satisfied in his heart, so he stuffed the newspaper back into Shao's mother's arms, nodded and replied, "It's me."

Shao's mother opened her mouth, and watched Shao Yan pass her downstairs and stood on the steps for a long time, staring at her son's back in a daze.

When she was in City A, she had heard Shao Yan talk about how she joined a research association. Shao's mother didn't know much about it. Hearing the name, she thought it was an amateur club organized by students or teachers in the school. That I didn't think much about it at the time, and now I have almost forgotten it.Some time ago, she also had a few phone calls from Shao Yan and others about how to meet for an exchange meeting. She thought he was just going to meet some classmates who were traveling in City A during the holidays, and she didn't take it seriously. When friends go out to eat, don't be stingy about paying the bill.

But she never expected that her son would really attend such a tall-looking exchange meeting!He even took a picture and published it in the newspaper!

In fact, the Shao family was often published in the newspapers, especially when Mr. Shao was around, any trouble about the Shao family would be published in the daily newspaper of city A.It stands to reason that Shao's mother shouldn't be so surprised by this matter, but Shao Yan's article is a national newspaper after all!The nature is completely different from the small newspaper offices in various provinces and places!

That's what she thought, and the rest of the family were all good, except for Yan Daichuan who pulled a chair for Shao Yan before he sat down, all of them stared at Shao Yan motionlessly.

The chef of the Yan family brought the crystal shrimp dumplings that Shao Yan had steamed before going out to exercise. Seeing the strange atmosphere at the dining table and leaving quickly, Father Shao pulled the chair towards his son and asked in a low voice, "Yan Yan, when did you know how to write calligraphy?"

Shao Yan was not panicked either. He glanced at him and asked slowly, "Did you think I couldn't do it before?"

"Huh?" Father Shao really nodded when he heard his question, "You were indeed forced to learn for a while when you were at your grandfather's side, and I didn't see how you practiced afterwards."

Shao Yan smiled: "I'm too lazy to practice. You see, I asked Brother Xiaochuan to buy me a small brush to write things a while ago, and I don't care about me."

Father Shao would not believe Shao Yan's other words, and Father Shao really agreed with him when he said that he was lazy.He used to be busy with work, so it was good enough to stay at home for two hours a day except for sleeping. Although Shao Yan and Shao Yan were called father and son, they didn't spend much time with each other. He hated his son's "laziness". .

As for what kind of pen Shao Yan used to write these days, to be honest, he really didn't pay much attention.Shao Yan used to be so lazy, doing his homework was like killing people, but now he is very pleased to be able to write, so who cares about how he writes!Hearing what his son said, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and stopped asking, patted his son on the back and said, "I don't care about you anymore, Dad cares about you."

Yan Daichuan listened to the father and son's exchange, and stole a glance at his father who was smiling and reading the newspaper at the head of the table.Yan Yi's face bears the hostility and wind and frost left over from his early years in the Jianghu, and every wrinkle is full of ferocity. If he is not always smiling at people now, it is very common for children to cry in fright.

I thought about what I said to my father, "You don't care about me", and my father replied stickily, "Daddy cares about you" and so on.

Yan Daichuan felt chills for a while, the hairs on his back stood up one by one, and the goosebumps on his arms were covered with uneasiness.

Seeing that Shao Yan was still talking to Shao's father about his appearance on TV and newspapers, he began to add sugar to his soy milk.After Shao Yan lived in Yan’s house, he found out how sweet the other party was. A cup of soy milk or milk needs four or five spoonfuls of honey to be satisfied. He helped Shao Yan adjust the honey, touched the temperature of the side of the soy milk cup, Pushed the cup to Shao Yan at the table.

Shao Yan happened to mention that Professor He was satirizing him. The reporters didn’t understand this part, and what was later described from the dictation of bystanders was also somewhat different. Shao Yan was so pissed off when he told the live version. Shao’s father took the case Then he got up and cursed angrily: "This professor surnamed He is from P province? He's too arrogant. Dare to treat you like this. Dad will definitely make him suffer."

Yan Yi said from the side: "Don't be so troublesome, Yanyan lost him like this this time, this surname He will have good fruit to eat when he goes back. The price of calligraphy and painting will definitely fall, and the days of being laughed at will be longer in the future It's on."

Shao Yan took the cup and drank it down. The sweet soy milk made him squint his eyes in enjoyment. He turned his head to look at the calm Yan Daichuan. He also caught the three steamed dumplings in his steamer. past.

Yan Daichuan was flattered for a moment, this kind of treatment was only given to Shao's father before!

The crystal shrimp dumpling is made by Shao Yan himself. The starch and clear noodles need to be boiled in boiling water a little bit to get the crystal clear transparency of the shrimp dumpling skin.Some time ago, Shao Yan picked up some seasoning ingredients by himself and processed them. When mixing the noodles, the hot water is boiled water with seasonings, which makes the shrimp dumpling skin more flexible and fragrant after one bite.There is a pack of fresh juice in the shrimp dumpling, but instead of the whole shrimp, the shrimp is minced and mixed with broth and stuffing made with baby vegetables.When wrapping, bury a small whole shrimp in it, which tastes crisp and elastic.Shrimp dumpling skin is very thin, but it has a sense of presence. The chewy texture needs to be chewed constantly. The fragrance of the skin is mixed with the refreshing sweetness of shrimp.

Shao's father was still there telling Yan's father what would happen to Professor He. After seeing Shao Yan distribute the dumplings to Yan Daichuan, he was stunned. She looked at her son with a little aggrieved look: "When did you two become so good?"

"Is there? No." Shao Yan turned his head to look at Yan Daichuan, who was wiping his mouth, and looked over, and the two gave each other a tacit smile.

The report that made Shao's mother even start to panic naturally also caused a great sensation in the outside world. Insiders in the Chinese academic circle paid attention to Shao Yan's amazing talent that was praised in the report, but what laymen saw was the exchange meeting between him and him. The fight between Professor He and the two was lively.Although Professor He's name is not very popular, he has a small reputation in the country. Being able to surpass him in full view proves that no matter what his background is, Shao Yan at least has the real material to surpass Professor He.

The video about the match between him and Professor He that was released by the media received extraordinary attention, and the popularity suddenly rose after a short brewing period.People's interest in academia is far greater than what the industry originally thought, but their understanding of Chinese studies has always been limited to a group of white-bearded old men wearing cotton jackets like Taoist robes drinking tea and chatting with their hands behind their backs, so they are naturally too lazy to pay attention to these boring things. information.Unexpectedly, it was discovered that there were all kinds of intrigues in these elegant circles, and the hearts of the masses who loved gossip were awakened at once. They only worried that the excitement would not be enough to watch, and they would not care about which circles were not circles.

The government and the group of media who cooperated with Professor He have had a long-standing grievance. Those who hang out with Professor He rarely really love Chinese studies. The research circle in China is becoming more and more philistine and chaotic.There were never many people who were dissatisfied with him, but Professor He and the others acted carefully and never revealed anything that could make them suffer.This incident became a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even many people who had predicted that Professor He would suffer this time did not expect such a big storm in the future. The online media and physical media, the activities of bullying Professor He became more and more serious. It's getting hotter and hotter, and almost all the ancestors of Professor He's family have been checked out.Naturally, he can't hide his cooperation with some notorious overseas and coastal media to hype himself up, including several so-called "masters" in the P Provincial Research Association who are hyping themselves, and now they have nothing to hide.

Many collectors who had received his works before regretted it to death, but now they sell his works again, and they don't know if anyone is willing to accept them at a [-]% discount.Mr. Qian also suffered some impact because of this. Fortunately, it was not that big, and he could cope with it. Before that, he went to the hotel where the Province A Research Association was staying to apologize to Shao Yan. Although he didn't see anyone, he was sorry. Professor Li and the others have already brought it.Professor Qian is a bit of a nerd, he has no understanding of the world except calligraphy and painting, Shao Yan will only care about him if he has a problem, but Professor Li and the others persuade him with good words, so he treats his offense that day as a fart.

His current situation is completely different from that of Professor He.

As another protagonist in popular events, he actually received no less attention than Professor He.Just his good looks can attract a large group of female soldiers to him. The chance of a handsome guy in the Chinese school circle is too low, and the combination of talent and handsome guy is full of fashion value.Young people of this generation are paying more and more attention to the preservation of domestic traditional culture. The first impression of Shao Yan, who is willing to devote himself to studying Chinese studies at a young age, is naturally very good. The match between him and Professor He is undoubtedly a mat The first stepping stone that made his image suddenly elevated a lot.The media also captured the scene of Shao Yan being escorted away by bodyguards in the later stage. The high-energy plot that can only be seen in this kind of TV series almost pushed the enthusiasm of those eyes on Shao Yan to the highest point.

Everyone is trying to dig out his past experience and figure out a question: who is he!

After gaining real popularity, the past must not be hidden. The news that Shao Yan is currently studying at A University was quickly discovered. The people in City A are also online. Although most of them have never met Shao Yan, they have heard about the Shao family's affairs because of Shao's father's hype some time ago.The news that Shao Yan is the third or even the fourth generation of the rich was spread on the Internet in just a few days, and within a few days, the deeper grievances between their family and the current Patriarch of the Shao family were naturally resurfaced. Bring it up again.

His experience left many people speechless for a while.

He lived a prosperous life since he was a child, but immediately fell into the clouds after his grandfather passed away, and lost almost everything in the Shao family except for the 5.00% equity.Before going to university, he was a chubby and somewhat silly young man. He suffered a serious injury shortly after entering college. Since then, his whole person has become outstanding like a metamorphosis.

This kind of ups and downs in life is unimaginable for many ordinary people. For a moment, voices of sympathy and appreciation flooded everywhere where Shao Yan's news appeared. There were even a large number of "backup groups" who praised him quietly on the Internet. , the name Shao Yan has become synonymous with "Youth Reserves of Chinese Studies" in this limelight.

Shao Yan has become popular, and the name Yumenxi has no reason to be unknown.In fact, the news that Shao Yan could cook surprised many young people who admired him.However, after the family was forced to separate, the source that he helped his father take charge of the restaurant and improve the reputation of the restaurant was so reliable that people had to believe it.In particular, all the customers who have patronized Yumenxi have not hesitated to praise this restaurant that comes from the Shao family but is far better than the Shao family.Most of the people who can afford to enter the Yumen seats are not ordinary people, and the words they speak are extraordinarily authoritative. Listening to their descriptions of the dishes of the Yumen seats, many people can't hold back their saliva through the screen.Of course, some people doubt the authenticity of these praises. After all, Shao’s food brand still has some prestige around Province A. Yumenxi is just out, and many people have never even heard of it.

The current manager of the restaurant is also from Shao's family. No matter how strong Mr. Shao's own son and grandson are, can they be stronger than the deceased old owner?

Many people in the know didn't bother to pay attention to these questions, which seemed like everyone was drunk and I was sober. They only sympathized with them, and repeatedly begged them not to patronize the Imperial Gate Seat. The Yumen seats in City A are now unavailable two days in advance. If you want to eat, you have to plan half a week in advance. Most of the reserved places are ordinary customers who come from outside the province and are turned away. The old customers of the restaurant are dying of anger, and they don't want to see the Yumen seats being questioned, and they don't want to have more customers in the restaurant than they are now.

Many people felt itchy when they heard it. After checking the per capita consumption, many wealthy families planned to go to City A to try this legendary restaurant, but before they could leave, the official news from Shao’s father made them Many greedy cats in S City were shocked.

Yumenxi's branch in S City is about to open.

-

Father Shao took Shao Yan's apprentices to eat out in various places in City S these days. Unlike City A, there are many prestigious old restaurants here that taste really good. Although Father Shao, who is used to being comfortable, is confident in his son's craftsmanship, But the pressure during this time has also been unprecedented.For this restaurant in S City, he invested at least 2000 million.Although most of them were borrowed from Yan's family, the borrowed money always had to be repaid. After all, the debt was on his mind.It is different now. If the business in City A loses money, then their family will definitely return to the rhythm before liberation.

Shao Yan was as calm as ever, his family never put pressure on him, and the father and son had never had any communication about investment, so until now Shao Yan thought that his family was in a small business.

The day before the opening, Shao's father carefully checked all the hardware equipment in the store, carefully checked the delivery of invitations, media invitations, and details of various ceremonies on the opening day. After a sleepless night, he ran away in the morning before dawn. Arrived at my store.

He thought he should be the first to arrive, but he didn't expect to hear a lot of movement from the direction of the restaurant as soon as he got out of the elevator. He sneaked a look in surprise and fear, only to find out by the light that it turned out to be someone who was even older than him. Shao Yan arrived early.

Shao Yan was moving the water tank-sized steamer that had been brought to the store a few days ago.The steamer was not light, and a group of big men rolled in covered with shockproof plastic. Shao Yan squatted down and picked it up, which made Shao's father feel a little silly.Shao Yan turned left and right in the direction of the restaurant's gate, then put the steamer in a place he was satisfied with, then nodded and left. Before leaving, he glanced at the direction where Shao's father was hiding, thought for a while, or Didn't break my father's little self-esteem.

Shao's father crouched in the corner and slowly moved to a position close to the steamer, squatting there and staring at the golden and red dragon pattern on the can, somehow, he felt much more at ease.

What are you afraid of? Even if he loses money, he still has his son and wife.

Because of Shao Yan, many big media in S City and surrounding cities were very active this time, and they all came to report early.After the seats were set up, the guests arrived one after another. The first ones to arrive were the shareholders of the Shao Family Group who were picked up by a special plane a few days ago.

The media were very surprised when they heard that this group of people were shareholders of the Shao Group. The awkward relationship between Shao’s father and the current Patriarch of the Shao family is now known to everyone thanks to Shao Yan. The shareholders of Shao came here to support Shao's father?

It is rumored that the conflict between the brothers of the Shao family is just a rumor, but the current patriarch of the Shao family did not show up. The group of shareholders who came just laughed and said nothing to the reporters' hidden questions. Yes, the meaningful expression is even more imaginative.After much deliberation, I can only attribute the current situation to the fact that the position of the current patriarch of the Shao family is not justified, and the shareholders do not submit to his jurisdiction.

Liaohe Dong and the others were shocked by what they saw after climbing to the top. Yumenxi was no longer the old shop of the Shao family they had imagined.At no moment did they clearly realize the fact that this is already an independent industry like now. Everything here, the decoration, the location, and the style far better than the current Shao's restaurant, make people amazed and can't help Live in a sense of loss.

The guests were arriving one after another. Liaohe Dong and the others stood by the sightseeing window of the restaurant and looked out. The weather in S City in the morning was clear and the sun was shining in, making this high-rise restaurant seem to be suspended above the clouds.

Shao's father's original uneasiness gradually began to disappear after receiving guests one after another. Far more people came than he had imagined. Shao's father couldn't help being ecstatic after he hadn't expected it. Although the water in S City is deep, the black and white bigwigs are unexpectedly easy-going. These people cannot appear in the media cameras, and the media tacitly did not take shots about them. Father Shao took them to different places. After the wing room was arranged, the footsteps came out two catties briskly.

With the support of these people, at least until the next change comes, the daily operation of Yumenxi will not encounter any trouble.This is good news for Shao's father who has just arrived.Although he didn't quite know why these people were actually there, it was just a good thing anyway, Shao's father thought the problem was quite simple.

The steamer placed at the door began to be heated after the guests entered the arena. Shao Yan asked his apprentices to surround the steamer with a fence and burn it at the bottom of the tank with a small fire without smoke. , the aroma immediately filled the door and entered the entire restaurant, so that the guests who hadn't stepped out of the elevator couldn't help but quicken their pace.Even the few people who were taken to the private room and placed there couldn't help but come out to see where the fragrance was. When Shao Yan came out to add water for the second time, he couldn't squeeze in around the steamer.

The banquet was originally scheduled to be served at 11:30, but seeing that the restaurant was already bustling with people before it arrived, Shao Yan thought about it, put away the refill pot, and went back and ordered Tian Xiaotian and the others to serve the jade soybean milk first. come up.

He has wanted to cook this dish for a long time, but he suffered from lack of tools.After arriving in S City, he insisted that Father Shao buy a soy milk grinder and put it in the kitchen.The beans had been soaked in the blended honey the day before, and Shao Yan and his disciples finely ground them with the boiled milk in the morning.This kind of soy milk cannot be lighted with gypsum alone, and a few auxiliary materials must be added to the gypsum.Although the process is cumbersome, fortunately, one batch can be made at one time. If the amount is large, order a bucket at a time, and the average calculation effort is no more than making other small pastries.

The sesame seeds are fried until they are light yellow, and they are steamed and ground into fine powder. They don’t have to be very fine. The particles can be felt in the mouth. The lubricating oil is ground and forced out, and the aroma becomes rich in an instant.Add other minced nuts and sprinkle them on the ordered jade bean milk. The crystal soft tofu is trembling and very beautiful.

The guests in the hall are still watching by the steamer, and as time goes by, the aroma becomes more and more filling.The freshness of the seafood and the sweetness of the chicken sauce are so overbearing that people can’t help but slurp their tongues. Some people speculate: "This is probably the signature Buddha jumping wall of those people's Yumen seats, right? My friend went to City A to eat it before, and after coming back , Oh hello! It’s delicious! I can’t even tell. I smell this smell, but I can’t even tell. It must be Buddha jumping over the wall.”

Everyone's discussion immediately boiled over. These days, because of Shao Yan's relationship, all kinds of Yumenxi's signature dishes have been spread on the Internet. Looking at the photos, I can't see anything unusual, but everyone who has eaten it Everyone said it was delicious!How can the taste be described in words?The only way to know if it's true is to eat it yourself.Many people who got the invitations didn't intend to come, but later the Yumen seats and the Dongfeng exchange meeting were too hot, they thought about it, and they were afraid of regretting, so they finally came.Gathering around this crock pot now, I know I wasted no time.

The reporters guarding the door made a commotion again. The invitation card was shown at the door, and Mr. Mao appeared solemnly at the door with a large group of juniors.He is also quite well-known in City S. Because of his good fish lips, many TV stations are willing to invite him to be a special guest on food shows. Although his popularity is not as high as that of a big star, he is quite confident in the food industry.Originally, Yumen seats opened, and some reporters thought that the original calm of the gourmet market in S City might be broken again. A gourmet family like the Mao family didn’t know how to deal with it. When I arrived in person, I couldn't react for a while.

"Damn it!" The media looked at me and you, thinking back to the group of bigwigs who just went in, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, what is the origin of Yumenxi's family.

Simply saying that they are descendants of the Shao family, only ghosts would believe it!When Mr. Shao was alive, he didn't see such a scene!

Suddenly there was movement in the direction of the kitchen. A series of waiters came out with trays. The small and beautiful blue and white bowls on the trays had a round carcass, and the sweet fragrance broke through the strong soup fragrance and permeated the air.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, Qiqi made a move, quickly left the steamer and returned to his seat to sit down.

I've never heard of the custom of having dessert at the start of a table, but since everyone is hungry, of course it's impossible to raise any objections.The dessert in the small bowl is not much, and it is milky white, with an even layer of crushed sesame seeds spread on it. If you sit a little closer, the sweet aroma will be rich and intoxicating.

Everyone thought it was just ordinary double-skin milk or panna cotta, but when they removed the crumbs from the top, they still thought that this double-skin milk was quite exquisitely made.After the entrance, I realized that it was not the same thing. The smooth milk milk was wrapped with soy milk that melted at the touch and melted on the tip of the tongue. The mouth was full of the strong aroma of sesame and the sweetness of honey.

"Wow!"

"Oh, what is this!"

"Isn't this Shuangpi Nai? How can Shuangpi Nai be so delicious?"

Unexpectedly, the first dish would be of such quality, the banquet hall suddenly became noisy, and some old guests who had attended the Yumen Banquet in City A before were humming disdainfully in their hearts while eating soy milk——

——Let you not believe it, a bunch of old hats.
