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

Chapter 168 The Last Corner of the Restaurant

Since Jinli said it was fine, Anqiao didn't pursue the matter any further. After a tiring day, she ate something in a daze and prepared to go to bed.

On the next morning, An Qiao felt warm all over by the rare sunshine. Could it be that spring comes without anyone noticing?

After stretching comfortably, An Qiao crawled out of the bed, slowly walked to the window and looked out. Jinli had already gone to school. She didn't know if it was because of her menstrual period or because she was tired yesterday, she didn't get up with everyone today.

Anqiao's task today is to visit the shops and farms that he bought yesterday.

Everything else is fine, except the lakeside residence which is a bit troublesome.

But there is no rush.

An Qiao first went out and walked around to the small square courtyard. Gu Qingyun had handed her the key yesterday, and now she could come and go freely.

"Hey, are you Bai Aji's new wife?"

An Qiao had just inserted the key into the lock on the door when a hunchbacked old man next to her came forward and asked in a friendly manner.

Although An Qiao was a little confused, she still asked, "Bai Aji?"

"Hey, young lady, don't you know Bai Aji?" The old man looked unconvinced.

"Bai Aji? I don't know..." An Qiao continued to wonder in confusion.

"That's strange, isn't this their house?" The old man looked at the marks on the door and said, "The child was very young when he moved here. He moved here alone because he wanted to go to school. He was smart and sensible since he was young, but later... Alas, I don't know why he suffered such a misfortune! What a pity, otherwise, I think he could have become a famous top scholar in Kyoto Prefecture."

An Qiao was speechless for a moment.

She could see that the old man really cared about Bai Aji, and she also knew that Bai Aji would never come back.

"Ah... Grandpa, are you talking about the owner of the house? He has entrusted the house to me. Maybe he has moved to the south." An Qiao thought about it and finally did not tell the old man the truth.

The old man sighed and waved his hands, then turned and left, "Ah, what a good child..."

An Qiao couldn't help but sigh. Life is so unpredictable. One should just live life to the fullest.

I opened the door and went in. Perhaps because there was always a housekeeper, the place didn't seem deserted.

A simple little courtyard. Although it has no storefront, its area is about the same size as the small restaurant before.

Where the scholar lived, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were still placed on the table. There were many flowers and plants planted at the entrance, and there was even a cherry tree.

There is a small stone table in the yard, which looks peaceful and honest.

There is also a water tank under the courtyard wall, with two live koi in it.

An Qiao took a rough look and thought that this piece would probably be overturned anyway, so there was nothing much to study.

Just looking at this house, I feel that the Bai Aji mentioned by the old man should really be a young man as beautiful as a lotus, which is a bit of a pity.

An Qiao was about to leave when she saw four familiar heads appear on the wall.

The four people from Dali Temple...

In the past, people had to climb over the wall to get into the restaurant, but now they can climb over the wall from the restaurant.

"Big brother, is there anything wrong?" An Qiao looked at them helplessly.

"How is it? Are you satisfied? I specially saved it for you, but did you see the look in my eyes?" Gu Qingyun said while gesturing his eyes.

"I saw it. Thank you so much." An Qiao was speechless and sat down directly on the stone bench.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. What's our relationship? We all have to sell it anyway. This restaurant is short of a dime, so I might as well give you the dime to make up for it." Gu Qingyun sat on the wall with a smile.

"Didn't I ask you what you are doing here today?" An Qiao repeated helplessly.

"What can you do in a restaurant? Stealing or cheating? Of course, we come here to eat." Gu Qingyun said in a sly tone.

The others nodded in agreement.

"I want to eat food I've never eaten before."

"I want something sweet, I want something sweet, I want something sweet."

"I haven't eaten at that pavilion on the lake yet."

"I want to go to that small room. The weather is good today, so I won't feel cold sitting there."

"That's a barbecue place. Do you want to eat barbecue?"

"Who said that you didn't listen? Young lady, please tell me nicely. There are other things to eat in that place besides barbecue."

An Qiao just felt her head buzzing.

"Just order whatever you want to eat." But this is when facing the financial sponsors.

"No, I think your cooking is delicious." Gu Qingyun immediately responded.

"I have to go to see my house and shop today, so I don't have time." An Qiao said unhappily.

"It's a small area, we'll finish the inspection in a short while. You come and take us to eat first, and we'll escort you later. There's nothing to do in the Dali Temple today, so it's a good opportunity to go for an outing." Zhao Huaiqing said carelessly.

Perhaps it was because An Qiao had cooked many special meals in the past, and everyone felt that the food from the special meals was much better than ordering dishes directly. It wasn't that the taste was so different, but they just felt that the food from the special meals was better.

An Qiao stood up unhappily and walked towards the back door of the restaurant.

What can be done?

I had been planning to try a new dish, but because I was so curious about what the shops and houses looked like, I decided to go out and take a look today.

Now that we've been found, there's nothing wrong with just cooking a meal before leaving.

An Qiao naturally wouldn't take their words of escorting her seriously.

Anyway, the people in the Dali Temple are always generous with their money and have never been stingy with their silver ingots, so just eat it.

The new dish Anqiao wants to try is beef brisket stewed with potatoes and tomatoes.

In modern times, An Qiao loves to eat this dish, especially when the weather is a little cool. After eating a bowl of it, he feels full of strength. It is like a buff in the game.

The man from Dali Temple still sat on the small stone table outside Anqiao Gate with ease.

This stone table was not there when I came to Dali Temple last time, but Anqiao thought it would be nice to sit here and drink some ice drinks in the summer, so he specially asked someone to make a stone table and put it outside the courtyard wall, so that he could have a view of the lake and be close to his residence.

It could almost be called a homely picnic.

An Qiao quickly kneaded a dough, fried tomatoes into pieces in a pot, and added water to boil.

"If you want something sweet, go over there and order some. I don't have time to make those pastries. Let Zhao Hengzhi make them for you." An Qiao said, "Today I will make you tomato and egg dumpling soup and beef brisket stewed with potatoes and tomatoes. There is nothing else."

Soon, An Qiao heard several people whispering in disguise.

"The young lady is really tough now."

"My young lady really doesn't favor me now."

"The young lady has really changed now."

Except for Xinhai who was still a little dazed and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, the others kept chirping at Anqiao.

……

An Qiao ignored the childish guys and continued to work on the things in her hands.

Put the beef brisket into the pot and blanch it until the blood foam comes out.
