MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 49 Royal Dining Room in Reality

  Chapter 49 The Imperial Dining Room in Reality

  Wang Tian's colleagues contacted Li Yi early the next morning, and they had already arrived in Yangcheng.

   There were two young and strong boys, both tall and strong, over 1.8 meters tall. They looked like photographers who had been carrying cameras all year round.

  Li Yi didn't expect that there would be staff coming to greet him in person, and there were two of them as soon as they came.

  But after asking them, Li Yi found out that they were bodyguards specially sent by Wang Tian.

  When Li Yi participates in the show, he must bring the Wanshou Wujiang Bowl and Jinshan Imperial Kitchen Knife with him.

  The total value of these two sets of items is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

  In order to ensure their safety, Wang Tian found an insurance company and insured them separately.

   And specially found the two strongest photographers in the crew, came to Yangcheng in person, and escorted Li Yi to the capital to participate in the recording of the show.

   Although the two photographers were tall and strong, they became more nervous after seeing Li Yi.

  It was the first time for them to touch such valuable items. After Li Yi handed them the box containing the bowl and the knife box, they never ate or drank any water.

  After boarding the plane, they also hugged the box tightly, not daring to move it.

  During takeoff, the plane encountered turbulence and experienced a small bump.

  Li Yi saw at that time that a layer of sweat oozed from their foreheads at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   When the turbulence of the plane ended, their entire backs were almost soaked.

  Seeing this, Li Yi really couldn't bear their continued torture, so he took the initiative to return the box and put it under his feet.

   These two sets of things, one is a golden bowl, the other is an iron knife, both are metal objects, and they are not fragile, so there is no need to be so careful.

   But seeing him put the box under his feet, the two photographers hesitated for a long time, but they couldn't help it, and hugged the box back.

  Wang Tian told them that they must keep these two sets intact, because they will be used in the show.

  They still feel that it is safer to hold.

  Holding him like this, they sent Li Yi back to the hotel, and then returned the two sets of things to him, and asked him to open the box to check.

  Li Yi himself was not very worried, but seeing that they were nervous, he opened the box and checked.

  The bowls are all wrapped in bubble wrap, without any bumps.

  The knives are also firmly inserted in the knife case, intact.

   Seeing this, the two photographers felt relieved and left.

  The hotel selected by the program group for Li Yi is the Capital Hotel next to Wangfujing, where other program group guests also live.

   But Li Yi was the first one to come, and the other guests hadn't arrived yet.

  After resting in the hotel for a while, Li Yi went out for a walk.

  The Capital Hotel is very close to the Forbidden City, Li Yi wandered leisurely and walked towards the Forbidden City.

  Walking on Chang'an Avenue, Li Yi looked at the busy road and the towering skyscrapers in the distance. Compared with the dream space, there was an illusion of time and space dislocation for a while.

  He is very familiar with this road.

  In the dream space, when he was out of the palace to make purchases, he often took this path.

  He bought freshly laid eggs from Aunt Sun, drank high foam in teahouses, and ate wontons at the Wonton Hou stall.

   But those people probably can't even see the bone scum now, right?

  When he came to the entrance of the Forbidden City, he looked at the long queue at the ticket office and was very moved.

   Back then, if you wanted to enter or leave the palace, you had to have a waist card.

  Ordinary people let alone go in, even if they get closer, they may be arrested as assassins.

   But now, for a little money, anyone can go in and hang out.

  In the past, this was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

  In the dream space, Li Yi has a waist card.

   And now, he also has a "waist card".

   But his "waist card" is a pass, which was left to him by the two cameramen before they left.

  The program budget for this season of "Chinese Restaurant" is very high, with almost no upper limit.

  This season, the program group dared to use the ultimate taste as the theme of the program, which has already demonstrated the ambition of the program group.

  This season of the program, for the first time, put the shooting location in the Forbidden City.

  Mango TV used some means to rent the imperial dining room next to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the palace, and used it as a shooting location for this season.

  When Li Yi saw this piece of information on the proposal, he couldn't believe it.

  So when he first arrived in the capital, he went straight to the Forbidden City, wanting to make sure if it was true.

   After showing the pass with the names of Mango Channel and "Chinese Restaurant" program printed on it, Li Yi successfully entered the Forbidden City.

  At the gate, tour groups are gathering one by one, and the tour guide points at the people with a microphone.

  Li Yi avoided the crowd, and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation with ease.

  He is too familiar with this place.

  Those tour guides may not be comparable to him.

  Walking all the way, he soon came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, also known as the Hall of Golden Luan.

  In the dream space, he has never entered here.

  He delivered meals to Qianlong, but they were all sent directly to Qianqing Palace.

  But in the real world, he easily entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

  Looking at the tourists in modern costumes laughing and changing into dragon robes, taking photos and short videos, Li Yi felt very strange.

  Excited, he also changed into a dragon robe and took a photo.

  Unfortunately, there is no way to bring modern things into the dream space.

   Otherwise he would bring the picture in, and it would be fun.

   After taking the photo, Li Yi left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  The Hall of Mental Cultivation is right behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Imperial Dining Room is to the west of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  The place was sealed off, and Li Yi was allowed to pass after showing his pass.

  When he came to the entrance of the imperial dining room, Li Yi's sense of time and space dislocation became stronger.

  He seemed to be able to hear the noisy voice inside.

  But after pushing open the door, the scene in front of his eyes was completely different from the imperial dining room in his memory.

  A built-in studio has been built with a wooden frame inside, and it has been arranged as an antique restaurant.

  In order to protect the safety of cultural relics, a layer of black light-absorbing fabric is covered on the wooden frame, which isolates the original structure of the imperial dining room from the outside.

  This is equivalent to building a small house in a big house.

  However, from the structure of the wooden frame, we can still see the original layout of the imperial dining room, which is the same as in the dream space, with an H-shaped structure.

  There are staff members in the program team who are doing the final inspection. They have obviously been notified and recognized Li Yi. The person in charge greeted him and showed him around.

   "This is the reception area, this is the rest area, and the kitchen is here."

After the person in charge took him around, he took him to the kitchen: "We have put a lot of thought into the kitchen. The fresh air system, sewage system, and smoke exhaust system are all custom-made, and the building materials are also fireproof. , absolutely top standard."

  Listening to the introduction, Li Yi joked: "That's right, with such a professional protection, it will definitely not burn."

  Hearing him make such a joke, the person in charge waved his hands in fright: "This joke can't be played casually, some things are very clever, and if something happens, it will be over."

  Li Yi smiled, and muttered to himself: It's not that I haven't burned...

  The first time he entered the dream space to learn fried rice, he accidentally set a stove on fire, blackening the beams of the imperial dining room.
