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

Chapter 252 Am I behaving strangely?

"Boom boom boom——"

The knock on the door came closer and farther away. Gu Qingyun had just squatted on the roof and his legs were sore.

Not only did she hear a few little girls saying that she was weird, but she also heard An Qiao constantly laughing at her.

There were even a few young girls who had been working there for a long time. They said that he probably had some trouble with cases recently and asked the other girls not to look for handsome guys anymore.

It sounded like it was for him, but in fact, what she said was really heartbreaking.

"Someone's here! Who is it? So late in the night?" Tong Yiyi was standing by the door. When he heard the knock on the door, his first reaction was that it was a ghost. He knew that the outer door had been closed by him, so why was there someone knocking on the door in the inner courtyard?

Could it be that some diners haven't left yet, so I had to knock on the door.

Tong Yiyi opened the door and saw Gu Qingyun standing at the door. Perhaps because his legs were numb from squatting just now, he stood on one leg with the other foot slightly supported.

An Qiao couldn't help feeling guilty. She suspected that this man had been waiting at the door for a long time. She and a group of little girls were buzzing crickets behind him and were heard by the man behind him.

This is somewhat embarrassing no matter how you look at it.

"I'm here to look for my purse..." Gu Qingyun said in a low voice with a normal expression, as if he was really here to look for his purse.

An Qiao tentatively asked uncertainly, "When did Master Gu come? Did you find out after you got home?"

Gu Qingyun forced a wicked smile and said, "Yeah, I went home and had a hard time looking for it, so I came to try my luck here."

An Qiao was skeptical, but didn't dare to say anything. She silently looked at the table that hadn't been cleaned yet, "Is this it?"

An Qiao stepped forward with her purse, still feeling a little guilty.

Gu Qingyun looked at the purse. He naturally knew his purse and also knew that the purse had fallen into the restaurant.

But can he say it? He couldn't say.

An Qiao handed the purse to Gu Qingyun. Gu Qingyun took the purse and looked at An Qiao under the warm yellow light. He couldn't help but want to tease her.

Before leaving, he asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "Am I behaving strangely?"

An Qiao's face flushed instantly. Gu Qingyun raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his mouth and chuckled, then disappeared over the roof.

He will never forget An Qiao's cute and shy look.

It was not until Gu Qingyun had left for a while that An Qiao puffed up her cheeks. What should she do? It was as if she had been teased by a "little brat".

When the people inside saw that it was Gu Qingyun, they assumed that there was nothing wrong and left after finishing their work.

An Qiao therefore stood at the door for a long time.

……

The next day, Dongzhi got up early. The young lady asked for locust flowers last night, and he thought he might be able to find them if he got up earlier.

But it is not very optimistic. Nowadays, most of the wild vegetables and flowers will be picked up and eaten by poor people in the village. After all, many wild vegetables and flowers taste bitter, and no rich and powerful people would be willing to eat them.

As expected, I didn’t buy much after shopping for the whole morning.

The few that he bought were from people's baskets. The man was surprised to see someone want to buy Sophora japonica flowers.

I just said that this thing is not popular in the countryside. Unless it is a bad year, who would want this kind of thing? I didn't expect that someone would actually buy it.

So when An Qiao brought back a small bag of locust flowers during the winter solstice, she felt a little disappointed but also felt it was reasonable.

"Let Dashu make some locust flower honey. Qitao and I will go to the soap shop today. This soap shop has been dragging for a long time." An Qiao looked at the locust flowers.

This bag of locust flowers is not even as good as the one I had before I went out. It seems that if I want to make a locust flower banquet in the future, I have to buy them in advance, or even ask children in the village to buy them for me, otherwise forget it.

The honey tree in front of my door only produces a little honey every year, and I can't even sell a bottle, so I have to keep it for use in the restaurant.

There have been too many things happening recently, and Qi Tao has been keeping an eye on the soap shop. If it weren't for Qi Tao, who knows how chaotic the situation would be.

The kiln that was built yesterday can also be used. Anqiao took a look at it yesterday and felt that the shape was similar. I will try to bake bread then.

Things can only come one by one.

"Qitao, have you been to the Embroidery Building recently?" An Qiao asked. The entire soap shop decoration was handed over to Qitao, so An Qiao did not ask about the Embroidery Building.

Originally, An Qiao was worried that the embroidery building would be delayed in producing her products because of the plague, but she didn't expect that not only was there no impact, but the work was done even faster and better.

This is because the embroiderers in the embroidery building never leave the building all year round and stay in the house embroidering all day long, so few people who come and go can afford to enter the embroidery building.

The embroidery building was clearly located at the door of the main street, but it was not affected at all.

"I've been there, and they're almost done. The small handkerchiefs and other items are ready. We're just missing some big items, which will probably take two or three days." Qi Tao replied clearly.

An Qiao nodded, very satisfied.

When Qi Tao first took over the soap shop, he would come to ask every few days what was wrong with him, what was not good enough, and whether it would be easy to deviate from the rules.

But as time went on, she was able to make up her mind.

This is probably why An Qiao is not worried about the lack of chefs in Kyoto restaurants. No matter how many people come, as long as they know how to cook, they can serve.

As long as you give it the opportunity, there is nothing you can't achieve.

The two of them followed the swaying carriage to the soap shop. An Qiao was most thankful that she had not had motion sickness in her previous life, and she did not have this problem in this life in a swaying carriage.

Otherwise, the bitter bile would really be shaken out.

After not seeing it for a few months, the soap shop has changed a lot.

The stone lions at the entrance were polished to a very bright shine. It is said that this is because the refugees came to the entrance voluntarily to see the charity hall that cooked porridge for them and added medicinal food.

If the gate had not been closed, it would have been impossible to polish the stone lions all day long.

"Young lady, you have done a good deed, so it is only natural that they should be grateful to you." Qi Tao said with a smile. In fact, everyone didn't quite understand the significance of An Qiao's actions at the beginning, but they discovered it after a while.

Including the prescription that An Qiao took out and the things that An Qiao did.

However, the emperor’s reward had not come down yet, and everyone only dared to think about it in their hearts but did not really say it out loud.

But An Qiao was not in a hurry about this matter. If he was given, he would take it. If he was not given, he would not take it. It was not his reward. The national treasury was not well-off now, and he did not expect to get something that would be worth a fortune.

An Qiao took this matter lightly.

When she opened the soap shop, the basic layout was exactly what An Qiao had imagined.

All you need to do is perfect it and put the embroidery inside.

"Can it be opened within a month?" An Qiao asked Qi Tao. Qi Tao took a look at the general situation and said, "I'm afraid it won't take a month. I estimate it will take more than half a month."

Qi Tao didn't dare to guarantee it, but he felt it was almost there.

An Qiao smiled and she wanted to hand over the soap shop to Qi Tao for management.
