Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 510 Finale (Part )

No one expected that Qi Tao could surpass more than half of the potters in Kyoto Prefecture in just a few years.

Even Qi Tao himself didn't expect this.

When drinking with Qi Ning'an a few days ago, Qi Ning'an also lamented her changes.

The inferiority and cowardice that I felt when we first met are gone, and the lack of confidence and childishness that followed have also completely retreated.

Qi Tao is now confident and optimistic. He radiates a different kind of aura from the inside out, and even seems to have more confidence when he speaks.

Qi Ning'an liked her appearance very much, a very sunny little girl who was only twenty-five years old this year.

……

Oh, there's one more big thing.

Shen Ran didn't know when he and Lixia fell in love with each other, and they actually exchanged glances for a long time in front of everyone.

When Shen Ran proposed to Qi Ning'an to marry Lixia, Qi Ning'an was completely stunned.

No matter how you look at it, no matter from which angle, no matter from which aspect, it seems that these two people should not have any relationship.

After all, we spend every day together and we didn't notice anything.

But Shen Ran said with certainty that they had been flirting with each other for almost two years.

Qi Ning'an even felt that he had been scammed, so he found Lixia and asked her about it. Lixia actually nodded.

After the two of them got engaged, Qi Ning'an asked, "When did you two start flirting with each other? Could it be that I am actually blind in the restaurant?"

Lixia and Shen Ran looked at each other and smiled, "The year the young lady entered the palace... However, that was just the beginning. Later, the young lady went to various prefectures to investigate, so naturally she couldn't see it."

Qi Ning'an shook his head in shock, then nodded. This was the first time that Qi Ning'an realized what it felt like to be a class teacher. It was quite exciting, really.

……

Koi's medicine shop is getting bigger and bigger. In recent years, he has been able to diagnose patients and take pulses. He has even made many small prescriptions for strengthening the body, which can be taken back and brewed as tea.

We also made a lot of medicinal material packages for the base ingredients, which attracted quite a few customers.

Because the drinks he mixes are always delicious, he has always been very popular.

One year, Jinli took out a silver note worth 100 taels and handed it to Qi Ningan. After many years, he called her "Sister" again.

"Sister, this is the money I have saved over the years. I don't mean anything else. I know that compared to what you have given me, 100 taels of silver is too little, but I will always be good to you. Please accept my contribution with peace of mind, otherwise I will be ashamed."

From that year on, Koi would send some money home from time to time.

Qi Ning'an didn't have any flowers. When Jinli got married last year, he returned all of them to Jinli.

……

Jinli and Qitao are indeed different. Although Qitao has always called her "little lady", the friendship between them is like that of real sisters.

As for Koi, it always feels burdened and is embarrassed to see others making sacrifices for it, so this kind of estrangement and alienation always exists.

……

Qi Ning'an's thoughts were still in a mess, wondering if there was anything else he hadn't said.

Oh, by the way, she also started a jade business. She polished and made the jade herself, which was quite healing. She even hired a carving master.

But compared to her "food empire", this is just a piece of cake, and she doesn't even seek to make money.

Princess Mingyue got married two years ago, and it was indeed the prince who got married. Qi Ning'an was very pleased about this, and felt that the suffering the princess had to endure was much less than that of other princesses.

The Queen also made two headdresses of similar style that year, one for the married Princess Mingyue and the other for Qi Ning'an.

……

Just as his thoughts were racing, Gu Qingyun's voice came out, "Madam, it's time to eat. Today, I will let everyone taste my cooking skills."

Today is New Year's Eve again.

The people who had originally thought of having a good meal at the Kyoto restaurant couldn't help but look pale, thinking that they would finally have something delicious today, but they didn't expect that it was cooked by Gu Qingyun.

Qi Ningan saw everyone's faces change, and couldn't help but laugh, "How could he have done it? Lixia is still behind."

Shen Ran's expression didn't change. How could he not know that his wife was in the kitchen?

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was something delicious to eat.

"Tonight is a complete reunion night, everyone please sit down."

This is the first time in more than a decade that restaurants in Kyoto have closed on New Year's Eve. This is because everyone has been running around in recent years and could never get together. This year, when people are finally able to get together, they naturally do not plan to open for business.

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone said in unison, and some of the children, who were still in the babbling stage, also said in baby voices, "Happy New Year!"

The red lanterns outside were blown high by the wind. The royal gardens were open again this year. The lights in the distance kept flashing, making people feel warm.

Gu Qingyun took Qi Ningan to the roof. In the distance was a deep sea of ​​lights. For the first time, Qi Ningan thought of, "Fine grape wine in a luminous cup." This was probably the scene.

Soon fireworks bloomed again, as if returning to the snowy night of that year. The person in front of me was no longer as young and naive as before, but instead had a bit more maturity and sophistication.

In recent years, he finally became the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, but he still led everyone to solve cases and moved forward non-stop.

The axle of time keeps turning, rolling over the palace walls, crawling through the alleys, and eating the locust tree that is bigger and taller than it was 10 years ago.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and many years have passed.

"Come on down, it's so cold outside."

Seeing Qi Ningan's red eyes, Gu Qingyun coaxed her.

Before Qi Ning'an could respond, Xiao Shu's mother's voice came from the yard, "Father and mother, what are you doing upstairs? Shu'er wants to go too."

Everyone was struck by her adorable voice and picked up the children beside them and gave them big kisses.

The children didn't understand why, but they just let their parents do whatever they wanted.

Only Qi Dalang frowned slightly, stood ten feet away from his father, and then pretended to be mature and said, "Dad, I am already a big boy, please don't make such movements, so as to avoid misunderstandings from the young ladies in my academy."

Qi Ningliang almost choked. He didn't know who this kid learned this from. He looked so romantic at such a young age.

An Yonghou laughed out loud, "It must be that you were not romantic when you were young, so you left everything to your son."

This was followed by a burst of laughter.

Gu Qingyun put Qi Ning'an's hand into his pocket, and only sighed that the years were peaceful. He also lamented that no matter how gorgeous the fireworks were, they could not compare to the romance of three meals a day.

Having you in this life is enough.

The wheel of time keeps moving forward. The lovers embrace each other and watch the most beautiful sunset under the locust tree.
