Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

"A song of 'Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain'. Thank you for your support. Enjoy your meal!"

As Ye Changyan said this, he stood up from the zither stand, bowed deeply to everyone present, and saluted deeply.

Ye Changyan walked off the stage amid thunderous applause, which continued for a long time.

"Brother, you are amazing. I didn't know you could tell stories. And when did you learn to play and sing?"

When Ye Changyan came to the table where Wulang and Erniu were sitting, Wulang acted like a little fanboy, with stars in his eyes and all kinds of curious questions.

Although Erniu was also very curious, her girlish modesty allowed her to control her emotional expression very well. Instead, she considerately handed her brother a cup of tea.

"Brother, drink some water."

Ye Changyan took the teacup, drank it all, and gave Erniu a faint smile.

Just when Wu Lang was about to ask about the result, he saw that the man who had just given the reward of gold ingots came to his table.

"Mr. Ye, my master invites you to have a chat."

Although Lu Tingfeng's tone was cold, his attitude was humble. Ye Changyan nodded at him, turned around and explained to Erniu and Wulang, and then followed Lu Tingfeng to the private room on the second floor.

Along the way, it attracted everyone's attention. They all speculated who was in the private room on the second floor. He was so generous that he gave a gold ingot as a gift.

"Boy, this book is well written, and this singing is even better. My trip today was not in vain!"

Lu Tingfeng pushed open the door of the private room, and as soon as Ye Changyan stepped in, he saw Mr. Cai praising him with a smile.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Cai. Thank you for your support."

"I never thought that Brother Ye is not only good at writing, but also has profound attainments in music!"

"Brother Liang, you are too flattering."

Liang Jingcheng knew that Ye Changyan was a great storyteller, but he had no idea that he had such profound attainments in music. His guzheng skills were not inferior to those of the musicians in Shengjing. What was even more amazing was his deep and powerful voice and his unprecedented style of music.

"I don't know who wrote this song, 'Bai Suzhen at the Foot of Qingcheng Mountain'. Forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of such a style of music. After listening to this song, I feel really happy both physically and mentally."

"I learned this piece of music, 'Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain', from Mr. Zuo Hongyuan. However, Mr. Zuo traveled all over the world to pursue perfection in his creation. He is a mysterious person who is hard to find."

Ye Changyan had to stop talking about this quickly, otherwise where would he go to find the music master from his previous life, Mr. Zuo Hongyuan.

"That's a pity. If Brother Ye knows where Mr. Zuo is, please let me know. I will definitely visit him and ask for his advice."

Liang Jingcheng really wanted to ask for advice. The style of this song is melodious, beautiful and pleasant to listen to, which is really rare.

After exchanging pleasantries with Teacher Cai, Ye Changyan promised to visit Chu Garden again soon and give Mr. Cai the promised poison pepper delicacies and wild delicacies. Only then was Mr. Cai allowed him to leave.

Ye Changyan then went to the seats of brothers Li Yuanpu and Li Yuanlin, and the seats of Bai Jun, Wu Jiaxing, Yang Ruotai and others, and exchanged brief greetings with them one by one.

What was very rare this time was that Song Ruliang actually brought his fiancée to Yunfeng Tower. Song Ruliang's fiancée looked like a shy lady from a noble family. Ye Changyan didn't want to stay any longer, so he simply exchanged a few words of greeting, toasted each other with a cup of tea, and left.

On the way to greet these acquaintances, I heard a constant stream of praise for Yunfenglou's dishes today.

Ye Changyan was delighted. It seemed that the fresh Ruji was well received by the diners as he had expected.

As soon as Ye Changyan returned to Erniu and Wulang, he saw Zhong Yunfeng walking towards the stage.

As the meal progressed, the topic of discussion gradually shifted from "White Snake" and Ye Changyan's singing and playing to the several special dishes launched by Yunfenglou today.

"Today's dishes are very different from the past!"

"That's right, has Yunfenglou changed its chef?"

"Today's dishes are not only attractive in color, but also taste fresh, fragrant and sweet. They taste delicious."

"That's right, this carrot and pork bone soup is really delicious!"

"That's right. My cook always makes it. Why have I never tasted it as fresh, fragrant and sweet as it is today?"

"There is also this dish of pig ears with sesame oil. I used to think it was delicious, fragrant and chewy, but today, when I put the pig ears in my mouth, an unprecedented fresh fragrance instantly hit my taste buds. After chewing it carefully, the fragrance of the pig ears was mixed with a mellow sweet taste, which made me unable to stop!"

……

Listening to the heated discussions at the scene, Zhong Yunfeng was grinning. Seeing that there were only a few dishes left on most of the tables, it seemed that it was time for him to take action.

"Clap clap clap."

Three more rounds of applause were heard, and then Zhong Yunfeng was seen standing in the center of the stage, signaling for silence.

Soon, the customers who were sitting at the table put down their chopsticks, and those who were having heated discussions turned around and looked towards the stage.

"Thank you all for coming today!"

As he spoke, Zhong Yunfeng raised his hands and made a circle salute.

"I, Yunfenglou, recently purchased the spices handed down from the ancestors of a reclusive royal chef from the past dynasty. With his help, I have improved the dishes to varying degrees. I hope you will like them."

Everyone in the audience was talking about it. No wonder the dishes today tasted so delicious. It turned out that they had invited the imperial chef from the previous dynasty, and they also bought the imperial chef's ancestral spices.

"To thank you all for your kindness, starting from today, for the next five days, all consumption in this building will be discounted by 20%. I hope you will come and support us."

When Zhong Yunfeng announced the 20% discount, there was warm cheers and applause at the scene.

After all, there are many scholars and students here, and their families are not so well-off. They come here mainly to listen to Ye Changyan's storytelling.

"Five days from now, our restaurant will hang a sign at the entrance for delivery. The daily supply is limited and can be pre-ordered. Orders will be accepted while stocks last. As long as you are in Wanshou County, our restaurant will deliver the food to your door for free."

When everyone heard about this service, they became quite interested.

"It should be noted that all of our delivery dishes are the latest improved dishes or newly launched dishes. In addition, on the 15th of every month, we will update our delivery dishes. When the delivery dishes are removed from the delivery menu, they will be served in the store."

Ye Changyan praised in his heart that Zhong Yunfeng really had a good business sense. Not only did he set up a hidden royal chef from the previous dynasty, he also used hunger marketing and came up with special supplies. How many people must have felt uncomfortable because of this.

When the people at the scene heard the news, they all started whispering.

"Finally, I have good news to announce to you all."

The people who were whispering were brought back to their senses by Zhong Yunfeng's good news.

"At the invitation of this building, unless otherwise stated, Mr. Ye will perform a show of "White Snake" in this building on the first and fifteenth day of every month from today onwards. I hope you will come and support us!"

When the scholars and students at the scene heard the news, they became excited for a moment.

After just two sessions, Ye Changyan gained a large number of literati and book fans. These people may have the purpose of showing off their culture, but the books that Ye Changyan talked about had novel and moving stories, and ups and downs in the plot, which were really attractive to these literati and students.

After the meal, Ye Changyan was once again surrounded by scholars and students, who asked for their advice.

It was not until the end of the Shen period that Ye Changyan and his siblings boarded the carriage arranged by Zhong Yunfeng and started their journey back home.

"Brother, open the cloth bag and see how much reward money you received today."

Wu Lang looked curious and reached out to touch the cloth bag containing reward money in Ye Changyan's arms.
