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

Chapter 99 Lamb Blood and Mutton Soup

A few days later, the yard next door officially started work, and both sides were bustling with activity. On one side, a lot of new food was available, and everyone wanted to gain weight in the autumn, so more and more diners came.

An Qiao specially prepared a lot of food that could help people gain weight in autumn. Despite this, there was still a shortage of mutton offal, mutton and blood every day.

Especially the mutton offal made by Anqiao. I don’t know if it’s because in this era, people don’t have a good impression of offal and not many people eat it, so the offal made by Anqiao has received unanimous praise.

"My dear, is the mutton offal soup sold out again today? You can't eat this delicious thing at other restaurants." A diner looked a little depressed, because the mutton offal soup made at other restaurants all smelled fishy.

Many of the people who come to the restaurant to eat are temporary workers who do heavy lifting at the docks. They are reluctant to spend money on good meat and usually buy some pork offal just for the thought that at least they will have meat to eat.

But Anqiao's offal tasted good, so many people came to eat it. Sometimes there was some mutton left over every day, but mutton offal and mutton blood were the most popular.

"But we still have sheep's blood today. How about you try the sheep's blood first?" An Qiao said to the diner. The diner didn't get to eat sheep's offal yesterday and almost got it today, which was a bit miserable.

If you can’t eat what you want every time, you will feel itchy.

The diner could only nod. Sheep blood is always cheaper than mutton, and it tastes pretty good. "I want it spicy. Spicy food can keep away the cold."

An Qiao handed the customer a sign and said, "Okay, I'll have someone serve your food right away."

The mutton, mutton offal and mutton blood were only recently started to be made. A bowl of mutton is sold with a bowl of rice, just like the modern set meals.

In fact, all these things were stewed in the same pot, but the order of adding them was different. An Qiao did not add any special marinade, because mutton offal itself is lighter than pork offal, without so much fishy smell, but with a hint of mutton.

Those who can eat it will love it, but those who can't eat it can't even smell it.

If you don’t want it spicy, just add white pepper powder. If you want it spicy, add some chili oil.

Anqiao’s chili oil is now also selling well in grocery stores. In fact, it is just chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns, which are poured with hot oil and then mixed.

Recently, some people have started asking for mutton soup base for the hotpot in the store. An Qiao can accept all these soup bases and will serve whatever the customers want.

"It's so windy." The person who came was Gu Qingyun. He walked in and ordered a few bowls of mutton rice to take away. While waiting, he heard him say to An Qiao, "Young lady, you have helped a lot. We interrogated the old woman for a few days and she finally gave in. She said she was just a beggar and was only responsible for the first time. She took the child to the shop in the city and left. The little boy looked a bit like his deceased grandson, so he stayed and put the boy's cousin in the shop as well."

An Qiao suddenly thought of the man who said he had seen the boy's cousin that day, and asked again. Gu Qingyun looked at the packaged mutton and said, "I'm still investigating. If there is any news, I will let you know. You can continue to keep an eye on it for me. Thank you very much."

An Qiao nodded quickly. Now, opening a shop, buying a shop and starting a business were all so smooth, all thanks to the help of the Dali Temple.

This is similar to having a connection in modern times, so An Qiao doesn't mind helping out a little.

After saying this, Gu Qingyun left in a hurry again. The Dali Temple has indeed had a lot of things to do recently. Not only does it have to keep an eye on the Tiandi Sect, but it also has to study the relationships between the other sects.

That day, Xinhai stayed outside the huge supply cave for half a day but gained nothing.

After lying there for nearly a week, I saw other sects sending supplies with the same strict hierarchy as the Tiandi Sect.

I followed quietly and walked for a whole day before I found another village, but this village was recorded in the books and was not illegal. Perhaps because the mountains were high and the roads were long, and this place was some distance from the capital, except for the village chief, the head of the village rarely came.

In addition to paying taxes, the villagers would also transport large quantities of remaining food to the caves.

In addition, the Dali Temple found out that every year the reports from this place were about disasters and poor grain production. In many cases, such villages were allowed to pass off inferior products as good ones and just hand over slightly better grain.

Who would have thought that this village was not a bad place, but gave good food to others.

Deep in the palace.

The emperor was furious when he saw the memorial submitted to him. He had originally thought that so many years had passed and no matter what, the country was getting better and better under his governance.

Who knew that such a thing could happen.

There was actually a village that falsely reported the disaster, a crime of deceiving the king.

Not to mention that they even transported the food to other places, and I don’t know who they were for.

In half a month, I only saw people transporting things in, but no one transporting things out.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder how much is hidden in the dark side of this country?

"Wei Yu, please go to the Dali Temple and bring the two secret guards Shuangxi and Shuangfu with you. The Dali Temple is understaffed and I'm afraid it will delay things." The emperor looked at Eunuch Wei and sighed.

Eunuch Wei coaxed the emperor for a few words, then took the emperor's order and left the palace.

"Master, this is really strange. I wonder what they are going to do?" Xiao Pingzi was young and inexperienced after all. He stood at the door and listened for a few times, then he couldn't help but feel curious.

Eunuch Wei gave him a sidelong glance of contempt and said, "I've told you so many times, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Xiao Pingzi then shut up.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the Dali Temple, where everyone in the temple had just finished eating the mutton rice set that Gu Qingyun had bought.

The few people who were originally chattering while eating now all had a scroll in their hands, staring at it blankly, and no one spoke a word.

Eunuch Wei and Xiao Pingzi got off the carriage. Since it was just a verbal order and no one was informed, the two secret guards stood on both sides of the carriage without saying a word.

It’s strange to say, the secret guard has the talent of not being discovered. At this moment, he is standing there, as if he has the invisibility skill.

Eunuch Wei and Xiao Pingzi went straight into the Dali Temple. As soon as they reached the inner courtyard, they were shocked.

The petty officials outside were relatively clean, but inside...

Compared to the last time I came to the Dali Temple, this time it looked like there had been some kind of turmoil. There were scrolls and drawing papers all over the floor, and official documents piled high on every table. Several of the mainstays of the Dali Temple looked like they hadn't been home for a few days.

Wu Huan's dark circles were big and dark, Zhao Huaiqing's beard had grown half his face, Xin Hai was about two shades darker, and even Gu Qingyun had stubble on his face.

"Cough cough——" Xiao Pingzi couldn't help coughing a few times when he saw that Eunuch Wei had been looking for a long time and no one noticed.

Hearing the noise, Gu Qingyun raised his eyes from the scroll.

Seeing the person coming, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Eunuch Wei is here, I wonder if you have any instructions."

The corners of Eunuch Wei's mouth twitched. So he just saw someone coming?
