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

Chapter 391 Cold Eat Rabbit

Jin Xi and Jin Bao had never thought that there would be such an easy job. They were extremely leisurely every day, so they were very grateful to Qi Ning'an.

She even applied the embroidery and flower-growing skills she had learned in the Marquis' Mansion to the Kyoto Restaurant. As a result, the Kyoto Restaurant, which originally had to hire a gardener to repair the garden every few months, now relies entirely on the two of them.

The days passed one by one, and soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition to the banquet that had been scheduled long ago, there were also cakes and pastries made by Qi Ningan. After teaching Zhao Heng, Zhao Hengzhi actually made them even better.

Qi Ning'an also made large-sized sugar cakes, which were loved by many people.

The sugar cake is about the size of a modern six-inch cake. Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion. Eating one piece per person represents that no matter how scattered the families are, they can still be together during the Reunion Festival.

On the day when Qi Ning'an first made it, many people in the restaurant thought that it might not have a market. But after it was made, Qi Ning'an wrote the meaning directly on the seal, and it won the love of many people.

Even the students in the academy liked it very much, after all, they had the job of writing notes again.

Speaking of which, with so many festivals, as long as Kyoto restaurants have activities or need to make gift boxes, they will have work to do.

The conditions at Kyoto restaurants are not too demanding, and anyone who writes well can exchange their writing for something.

But the definition of good writing is also very loose. Everyone is going to take the imperial examination, so their writing is naturally good. Most students can write well, but if you help other shopkeepers do this kind of work, you may have to write hundreds of articles to get a few coins.

Kyoto restaurants are different. As long as you can write, starting with ten items, you can change to different things.

Restaurant coupons, milk tea coupons from Kyoto milk tea shop, food from restaurants, and even small gift boxes.

Of course, if you want to exchange money, you can also exchange money directly.

In short, it is very user-friendly. This time, 30 notes can be exchanged for a large sugar cake. Everyone can exchange it by writing a few notes after school. Anyway, it takes a lot of people to finish a sugar cake, which is basically a free snack.

Not to mention, this sugar cake has many different flavors, white sugar basil, white sugar peanuts, glutinous rice sesame...

It would take several days to finish one every day, and students from nearby academies have all tried them.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jin Xi came early in the morning and said, "Miss, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Jin Xi, please comb your hair well."

Jin Xi walked in with a smile, but Qi Ning'an felt like he saw a devil for a moment and stepped back repeatedly, "No... no need... today is just a family dinner, there is no need to be too grand."

Qi Ning'an always felt that Jin Xi seemed to have a habit of combing other people's hair.

Normally, I don't want her to have any hairstyle, as I think it is troublesome and inconvenient, so every time she comes with an excited look on her face and leaves with a dejected look on her face.

The little girl in the restaurant will go if anyone wants to get a hairstyle as long as she is called.

Whenever there is a holiday, or when she knows she is going to attend an event, she will appear at her door early in the morning, smiling and saying that she wants to get a nice hairstyle today.

Could this be an ancient stylist? Such a big addiction.

Qi Ning'an waved his hands hurriedly, "Really, no need. Today is just a family dinner. My father and brother won't care how I comb my hair. Besides, I have to help Zhao Hengzhi later. I still have some gift boxes to make."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Ning'an felt Jin Xi's face droop in an instant, full of sadness.

Qi Ning'an was soft-hearted for a moment. It had been a few days since he had done a good job with his hair. How about...

"Okay, okay, let's make it simpler. It's very uncomfortable if it's too complicated."

Jin Xi stood up with a happy face and looked at Qi Ning'an, "Okay, I promise to keep it simple."

An hour later...

Qi Ning'an looked at his head and silently gave a thumbs up.

Maybe Jin Ji knew that she didn’t like complicated headdresses, so she made it very complicated, but with very few accessories.

As expected of a stylist, he has the accomplishments of a stylist.

After the two of them went to the kitchen, everyone became busy.

Before we knew it, it is Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the autumn feeling comes back. Over the past year, we have gradually integrated into the restaurants in Kyoto.

At this moment, Qi Ning'an looked at the situation in the kitchen and couldn't help feeling warm.

The fried golden and crispy fish was placed in a large bowl. You could faintly smell an aroma, with the fragrance of oil and freshly fried fish.

A pot of fried tiger skin chicken feet had been prepared and was still steaming. Qi Ningan picked up one and as soon as he put it in his mouth he felt filled with happiness.

Qi Ning'an found the joint and bit it gently, and the chicken claw was gnawed off. With a light sip, the chicken claw that melted in her mouth was easily gnawed off.

The fried chicken feet that were a little crispy were swallowed bite by bite. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Especially the treasure in the palm of your hand, it tastes good just as it is, and it will definitely be delicious if you cook it in a hot pot.

Qi Ning'an was gnawing on chicken feet while watching. The pastries were fried, and there were also some pre-prepared dishes that could be made in advance.

For example, the main force of Qi Ningan’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this time, and the main force of every previous banquet like this, were some relatively orthodox dishes.

For example, squirrel mandarin fish, open-screen sea bass, salt-baked chicken, Dongpo pork, or pork elbow are both decent and filling, and basically every household can make these dishes.

But this time, Qi Ning'an thought about it and realized that other restaurants also make these dishes. If he wanted to keep things novel, he could either use a different form or different dishes.

So I decided to cook the rabbit cold.

Although cold rabbit is not considered a big fish or meat, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is almost always filled with table full of meat, and cold rabbit can to some extent achieve the effect of relieving greasiness.

It’s also fragrant and spicy, so I think many people will like it.

First, soak and wash the dried chili peppers and drain them. Then drain the washed rabbit meat and marinate it with salt, Sichuan pepper powder, pepper powder, ginger, green onions, and a little bit of grass fruit powder.

Then, heat up some oil in a pan and fry star anise, cinnamon and other spices as well as shallots and onions until fragrant.

This time, after raising the oil temperature a bit, put the marinated rabbit meat into the pan and fry it repeatedly for about a quarter of an hour. After it turns golden brown, add the chopped garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

Finally, add the chili segments, stir-fry repeatedly for a while, then add the seasonings soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, white sesame seeds, and ginger slices.

Then add Qi Ning'an's secret sauce, pour the oil made from various spices onto the seasoning, and stir well.

In addition to rabbit meat, I also tried some offal, rabbit heads, rabbit ears, etc., all of which were put separately.
