Chapter 250: Finally Eating Sophora japonica Flowers
Everyone looked at An Qiao with gratitude, what a beautiful and kind-hearted young lady she was.
"You are so polite, young lady. We are waiting here voluntarily." said a diner. He just missed the taste of steak too much. In the whole Kyoto Prefecture, only Anqiao can offer the best beef.
An Qiao smiled and said, "It's embarrassing to keep you all waiting. Let's have some snacks. I'll go in and see if there are any empty tables."
After saying this, he bowed and walked back slowly.
As expected, two tables were already ready to leave. An Qiao went straight to the Dali Temple table and said, "Gentlemen, do you want to eat anything else? There are too many people today. There are 10 tables lined up outside. If you don't want to eat anything, why not give up the table?"
Gu Qingyun looked at An Qiao, then looked outside, "You invited so many barbarians to come in for dinner, aren't you afraid?"
"It's not me who found it. Besides, this is a restaurant. People come in to eat. There's nothing else to do." An Qiao said dissatisfiedly.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Are you waiting for me to make Sophora japonica rice?"
The originally righteous looks of the crowd gradually became vague.
An Qiao knew it at a glance and was speechless.
"You guys go wait in the backyard. There are too many people here and there is no room for everyone. Please give up the table so I can close the stall earlier and cook for you earlier, okay?" Anqiao started a tug of war with Dali Temple.
"That's fine. We're big customers, you can't chase us away. We've been hungry for a whole day just waiting for you to make locust flowers." Gu Qingyun was sticky, like a little scoundrel.
"I know, I know. Go to the back and let Lixia cook whatever you want to eat." An Qiao pointed to the backyard, then thought of something else. "Don't go out the front door directly to avoid being discovered. I'll let you go through the back door..."
Everyone in the Dali Temple nodded and vowed to do it "secretly".
An Qiao quickly ordered people to clear all the tables and to ask people outside to come in quickly.
By the time the people from Dali Temple left, four tables had been cleared and An Qiao arranged for people to sit down.
It was already getting late, and some people outside were getting impatient. If it weren't for the beef that An Qiao had just brought out, many people would have probably left.
Sure enough, a few people were brought in from outside. They should be from the government office that manages the merchants coming in and out. They were even greeted and asked how they were by many people.
An Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, two tables on the second floor also left. Seeing that Qiufen could coordinate, An Qiao returned to the backyard.
At this time, everyone in the Dali Temple was staring at Zhao Hengzhi making pastries. Zhao Hengzhi was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had nothing to say.
These people didn't stand in front of him to block him, nor did they disturb him while he was making the cakes. They just looked at him from a distance from time to time.
But he still felt uncomfortable. He just wanted to slip out to give some butterfly cakes to his young lady. God knows why there are so many people today. Fortunately, not many people ordered cakes from him. He could slip away after making the cakes.
But now, several people from the Dali Temple were always looking at him vaguely, which made him confused and a little irritated.
As soon as An Qiao entered the door, Zhao Hengzhi said, "Wow, young lady, you have brought these monsters to our backyard again."
An Qiao was full of confusion. She looked at the Dali Temple and then at Zhao Hengzhi.
"Just behave yourself and don't disturb each other." I'm already tired of going to work every day.
Zhao Hengzhi shut up and put the pastry into the oven.
"My dear lady, the biscuits are ready. Please move them out later. I have to go out for a while."
An Qiao thought of the butterfly cakes she had this morning and waved her hand, "Go ahead, come back early. It doesn't seem like anything will happen if you don't come back..."
Zhao Hengzhi… “My dear, I haven’t thought about getting married yet.”
An Qiao waved her hand, "Go away, go away, I'm very busy, don't talk to me anymore."
Zhao Hengzhi snorted and said, "Okay, let's go."
The others looked at An Qiao with gossip, "Where is he going? Why did he bring up the issue of marriage?"
The five grown men in front of me are all bachelors, so it is understandable that they gossip about these things.
"Of course...you single guys, just mind your own business." An Qiao didn't have the habit of revealing other people's privacy, but still couldn't help but tease.
"What do you mean? What do you mean? You look down on singles." Zhao Huaiqing cried out, making everyone laugh.
Only Gu Qingyun said calmly, "Is it the young lady from last time?"
An Qiao...I had forgotten about this.
But she didn't say yes or no, and focused on handling the locust flowers in her hand. She didn't want to be hunted down by the Zhao family and another unknown family for the time being.
Make the locust flower rice first.
Pick out the green leaves from the Sophora japonica flowers, wash them and drain them.
Wash the rice several times and put it into the pot to steam. However, An Qiao likes the taste of glutinous rice, so he put some more glutinous rice in it, which will make it softer and chewier. Then add water and start cooking.
While the rice was cooking, Anqiao beat nearly 10 eggs and fully blended the egg liquid and the Sophora japonica flowers. Some people would add some flour or powder to increase its blendability.
But An Qiao felt that if other things were added to the eggs and locust flowers, the fragrance would be gone. So, she didn't add anything else.
Put the prepared egg liquid aside, and fry it in the pan when the rice is cooked.
The locust flower honey has been pickled for a few days and now smells extremely fragrant. You can drink it just by soaking it in water.
In addition, An Qiao also made dumplings and locust flower dumplings with locust flower filling.
Needless to say, the whole house is already filled with the fragrance of plants.
"My dear, it's really springtime." Shen Ran was also taken directly to the kitchen by Qiufen.
Now Qiufen has acquiesced. Since there is no room in the front for those who are related to the Dali Temple or who can talk to Anqiao, they all sit in the back.
"Why are you here again?" Gu Qingyun looked at Shen Ran with a hint of mischief.
"If you can come, why can't I?" Shen Ran immediately retorted.
When he was in the palace, he was very careful in what he said and did. Not knowing what was going on outside the palace, Shen Ran even had a changed temperament.
Gu Qing Pei habitually wanted to call Proton, he was no longer surprised by who appeared in the Kyoto restaurant.
This is simply a miniature version of the Jianghu.
Shen Ran greeted everyone and sat down.
"What spring? It's almost summer. It's all because of that damn plague. I didn't even have my spring banquet." An Qiao muttered.
As he spoke, put a spoonful of minced garlic, 1 spoonful of sesame oil, a spoonful of fragrant rice vinegar, and a little salt in the bowl and mix well.
I also fried some sesame seeds and mixed them with locust flower honey.
If you want to eat sweet, add sweet food; if you want to eat salty, add salty food.
