Chapter 194 Facing Desolation
"My dear, what shall we do with this charity?"
An Qiao was not in a hurry. After all, she still had some money in her hands and she was not going to live off all her savings. She would be able to get through it.
"What can we do? We can just bring them to the restaurant to eat."
"Ah? These are delicacies from land and sea? Are we going to eat them all?" Dahan was obviously stunned. He remembered that he was not treated like this when he was a refugee.
"Of course, eat whatever is available." An Qiao said with a smile, but she didn't think much about it. After all, it has come to this point.
Dahan was obviously stunned, but didn't say anything. It was naturally the young lady's decision, so it was fine anyway.
An Qiao thought about it and decided that there wouldn't be many people eating anyway, so she simply hid in the kitchen and made sweet potatoes. In fact, not many people have tried this dish.
The fried crispy potatoes are wrapped in the aroma of houttuynia, coriander, and chili pepper. The smell is so good that it is a bit unbearable, but in fact it is more tempting.
As soon as Anqiao started frying, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of potatoes. In fact, in her previous life, Anqiao always thought that Anqiao was just a relatively calm food, which seemed to be delicious no matter what, but when she thought about it carefully, it was a bit bland.
But potatoes are delicious no matter how you cook them. For Anqiao, they are the most delicious beta, which means they will taste great as long as you add something to them.
"My dear, what delicious food have you made again? It smells so good." Qiufen was still complaining about the pain of working yesterday, but today he started working with full energy.
As soon as he returned to the kitchen from the lobby, he started joking with a smile.
In fact, the difference between the fried potato and the stuffed potato is that the stuffed potato has more ingredients, and every bite is delicious. But the fried potato is full of sauce, so if you ask me which one I should give up, I can't give up either one.
"My dear, it smells so good, is it a new dish?" Yu Shui had just returned to the kitchen and was looking at An Qiao with stars in his eyes.
An Qiao naturally smiled and said, "No, I fried it for you to eat."
The disease is spreading more and more seriously. An Qiao only hopes that it can be quelled soon. There are fewer and fewer people outside. The once prosperous spring banquet has now turned into a depressed Kyoto city.
"My dear, there are too few people here. We should buy fewer vegetables." Yu Shui said worriedly.
Even Lixia, who had been working in the kitchen, couldn't help but feel a little worried. There were too few dishes left over in the past few days. She had no choice but to make more for each plate to prevent them from not being able to sell all.
But there was nothing she could do, the young lady did not reduce the purchase volume.
An Qiao thought about it seriously, "Starting tomorrow, tell Dahan and Dongzhi to buy less food that won't last long, and wait until things get better in a few days before deciding."
Several people nodded in agreement. Yes, this year was bad, and they were not the only ones suffering. At least they still had customers, and many restaurants had already closed.
On the one hand, they were afraid of contracting the plague, and on the other hand, there was not much business.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the young lady agreed. They really had wasted a lot of food these days.
An Qiao didn't realize it, mainly because she was so busy these days that she really didn't have the mood to care about these things.
Although a master has been hired to run the soap shop, it is not practical to hand over the entire business to someone else. An Qiao always has to go out and keep an eye on it. It doesn't matter if she keeps an eye on it, but she will be gone all day.
"My dear, there are too few people here. Do we need to close the door?" Lixia also asked. She was the one who spoke the least.
"Just keep it running for now, and work as long as you can." An Qiao said helplessly.
Everyone in Kyoto Prefecture is already feeling insecure, but it would be awkward if the business was not opened. Let's just do business one day at a time.
The fried potatoes were ready, and An Qiao called everyone to come and eat.
They were all busy outside, but when An Qiao called them back, they all ate happily.
"The young lady is really amazing. She can even make simple potatoes so delicious." Yu Shui exclaimed, her little face turned red because it was too hot.
"The young lady is really amazing. I knew she has such a skillful hand since the day she made pig offal." Qi Tao couldn't help but chattering to the people around him about the delicious food that An Qiao had made in the past.
Everyone was envious of what they said.
"You're the best. You've eaten everything."
"That's right. We opened too late. If I had known this earlier, I would have asked my boss to throw me out."
"Hahahahahahahahahaha you are so mean. You can say anything."
"What's the big deal? I was indeed thrown out by the boss. Fortunately, the young lady likes me."
Everyone ate and played at the same time, and soon finished the whole bowl of sweet potatoes.
"Is it delicious?" An Qiao asked while licking her lips, also very satisfied with the meal.
"Of course it's delicious." Qiufen had already eaten piece after piece, and was naturally satisfied at this time.
"As long as it tastes good." An Qiao said with satisfaction.
In fact, she has always thought that Tong Yiyi is a potato.
It is usually silent, but once put in the pot it will be full of fragrance, like a golden bean.
Qiufen naturally didn't know what Anqiao was thinking, but he couldn't help but say, "Potatoes are the best. They're filling and delicious, unlike those flashy dishes."
An Qiao didn’t know if she was also thinking of Tong Yiyi, but she felt that what Qiufen said seemed to make sense.
At this moment, Gu Qingyun appeared on the wall again.
"Hey, is your restaurant okay? There have been infections in Kyoto Prefecture recently, so you'd better not go out." His tone was neither serious nor contemptuous, as if he appeared on the wall and said hello.
An Qiao said, "You have to be careful when patrolling every day. If there is no one around in a few days, I will not open the gate."
"You money-grubber, you won't die if you earn less money for a few days. The virus is severe this time, you might die accidentally." Gu Qingyun looked at An Qiao in astonishment, not knowing whether he was anxious or something else.
An Qiao thought for a moment and said, "There are still people here. It would be foolish not to make money."
"You have money to keep making money but no life." Gu Qingyun was furious and said, "Starting tomorrow, stay indoors and don't open for business."
After saying this, he looked at An Qiao as if warning and climbed down the wall.
Only then did An Qiao realize that something was wrong. After all, if this had happened before, Gu Qingyun would have seen the freshly cooked dishes and would not have spoken so rudely.
Perhaps the situation outside has become so serious that it is unimaginable.
An Qiao then said, "Let's close the business tomorrow. Just be obedient."
Everybody breathed a sigh of relief, not because they were afraid of losing money, but because they felt like they were doing business at a loss every day, and everyone felt that it was unnecessary.
No one spoke. For a moment, the room fell into silence and was a little dull.
No one wants this to happen, but it has happened.
"It's okay. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine." An Qiao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the low morale.
No one really made a fuss about this little thing.
Everyone quickly regained their composure. Whether the potatoes were not tasty or life was just hard, they had to get on with it.
