Chapter 23 Successful opening
The sun outside was slowly becoming weaker and weaker, as if Madam Qin had exhausted all her energy in just one day. Just like the Qin Mansion, it seemed to have come to an end inexplicably.
Master Qin glared at his wife angrily, sent everyone from the Dali Temple out, and then begged, "Sir Shaoqing, I will have to go south again in a few months. I hope you can work hard to solve the case as soon as possible. I will be grateful."
Gu Qingyun nodded, patted Master Qin on the shoulder to comfort him, and returned to the Dali Temple.
Chef Li refused to speak no matter what, and no matter how much she was threatened or tempted, she insisted that she did it.
Gu Qingyun's expression remained unchanged, but he felt even more irritated. It was pointless to ask the same questions over and over again about this case.
I simply asked the officer for a dripping device, and while dripping water, I asked beside Chef Li, "Since Chef Li refuses to tell me, I won't force you. You sit here under the water and think carefully about who it is and why. Once you have figured it out, shake the bell in front of you, and someone will naturally call me over to listen to Chef Li's story."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the interrogation room.
The sun was setting again. Gu Qingyun was exhausted after a whole day and wanted to rest to the extreme. He simply didn't want to think about anything and went home to rest.
At the Kyoto restaurant, An Qiao led a group of children to clean up and put up various notices and menus in the store. They excitedly arranged every place to look like what they had originally planned.
Tomorrow is the day when Kyoto Restaurant will reopen. Not only Anqiao, but everyone else has been looking forward to it for a long time.
Even some scholars who used to buy breakfast here often come to ask when the restaurant will open.
After nearly half a month of renovation and decoration, the restaurant has changed a lot.
Not only has the first floor been planned well, but the second floor also vaguely looks like a small restaurant.
Anqiao also put up a sign at the door, saying that the store will open tomorrow and will offer 20% off on all items.
I still remember when the restaurant first opened, it used the gimmick of discounts, and within a day it attracted all the neighbors nearby.
At this time, the restaurant will not only have previous customers, but will also welcome three meals a day.
An Qiao was delighted to see the restaurant had grown to a sizeable size in less than three months. She was confident that it wouldn't take long before she could open chain stores and resort villas all over Kyoto.
By that time, she will have made a fortune and will not be long in having cats and dogs around her.
Several people were busy until late at night and were exhausted. An Qiao cooked a big pot of pork ribs and corn soup which became the midnight snack for everyone.
The ribs are just the right tenderness, soft and not greasy, and are cleverly cut into thumb-length pieces, each one is cooked to perfection.
When you take a bite, there is no fat at all, but it is not dry at all.
In addition, the bone soup has been simmered for most of the day, so it is perfect for drinking as a midnight snack.
The corn is golden sweet corn. One bite will fill your mouth with corn juice, which is sweet and delicious.
The bones were soaked in the soup, and they were quite smooth and delicious. The fresh, sweet and fragrant bone soup was particularly pleasing to the eyes. Several people quickly shared the soup, and it was finished soon.
Jinli drank several bowls of soup silently, and finally said to Anqiao with oil on his face, "You are amazing, young lady. This bone soup is the best I have ever tasted." He burped while speaking, and it looked like he was drinking alcohol.
An Qiao hurriedly sent Yi Yi and Jin Li to go to bed early and stop making trouble here.
The restaurants in Kyoto, which had been busy all day, gradually fell silent.
The next morning, before the roosters next door crowed, Aunt Tong and Tong Shan got up to prepare the ingredients for breakfast.
I prepared all the necessary dough and fillings, washed the vegetables, and processed some fresh shrimps that were delivered in the morning.
When Anqiao got up, the prepared food had already been neatly arranged. Anqiao couldn't help but sigh, is this the benefit of having someone to help you? ! What was the reason for me to work so hard before? !
As she spoke, she washed up and prepared to start cooking. Her slender and soft hands soon prepared today's breakfast. They were all the dishes she had tried a few days ago, and the first morning tea business began.
Not long after the door opened, many people came in one after another. Some ordered a few dishes to try, while others were curious about the take-out meals and the rules.
Many people found it interesting and ordered a lot of takeout, just for that stamp.
Even several scholars said that this thing was really interesting and they could print it out as a souvenir. If there were more activities in the future, it might be even more interesting.
They started talking about how it would be great to have a place to write poetry, and also said that there was a lack of storytellers or opera singers, otherwise more people would come.
People kept showing up and making a lot of noise until noon, when the breakfast stall officially closed.
Breakfast had just ended, and someone came to try the lunch at this Kyoto restaurant. On the large wooden board on the first floor were posted today's vegetables, potatoes, cabbage, corn, ribs, sausages... about a dozen kinds of meat and vegetables.
Some people saw this new way of doing things and came in to order some vegetables: potatoes, sausages, Chinese cabbage, pork, tofu, and tomatoes.
Soon, several dishes were brought up, including shredded potatoes, sausage slices, Chinese cabbage dumpling soup, and fried tomato and tofu.
It has good color, aroma and taste, making people salivate.
An Qiao brought a pot of pine leaf tea with a smile, and gave some sweet cakes to the children at the table.
The sausage is crispy and delicious, and the oil will pop out when you bite it, which will make you feel full immediately. Paired with a bite of fried potato shreds that are a little golden, it is really amazing.
If you want to eat it with rice, you have to have fried tofu with tomatoes. The sour and sweet tomatoes are added with some coriander, fermented black beans, and shredded ginger. The fried tofu instantly absorbs the soup. You can eat several bowls of it with rice.
Finally, I had a bowl of Chinese cabbage and dumpling soup. The soup was very sweet, and the unique fragrance of the Chinese cabbage diluted the taste of the heavy oil and made up for the spicy tomato fried tofu.
The child held the candy cake and called "sister" one bite at a time. An Qiao just thought he was cute and gave him two more candies.
The adults in the family felt a little embarrassed and kept saying that the shopkeeper was too polite. In the end, they bought a few bowls of ice jelly as dessert before giving up. An Qiao stamped the stamp, and the few of them left with smiles.
Eat and drink enough.
Although the first floor was not full for lunch today, Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan took a break from their busy schedule and had lunch in a private room on the second floor.
On his way back, Gu Qingyun angrily drafted him into the army. Recently, a trend has formed among the people in the Dali Temple that whoever secretly goes to a restaurant in Kyoto will become everyone's public enemy. How can one eat such delicious food alone?
On the other side, Kyoto Restaurant welcomed the next wave of diners. Fortunately, there were not many people, and fresh vegetables were served every day. After you ordered one, the next one was served. Even if there were no side dishes, they could still make some different kinds of food.
There has never been such a restaurant in Kyoto. Everyone who comes here is amazed at the novelty of this method. Many people are curious about this routine, and more and more people come in to try it out.
The dinner only turned over a few tables before it ended because the ingredients were running out.
An Qiao could hardly lift her arms. After all, this was the first day of business. Other people in the store were not very familiar with Yunnan cuisine, so she had to teach them how to cook it herself. After a few days when others became familiar with it, she had time to rest.
Fortunately, there are many people preparing food and washing dishes, otherwise we would be too busy to handle it.
Everyone just ate and chatted at the midnight snack stall. Luckily, everyone in the Dali Temple seemed to be very busy today, and no one from the Dali Temple came in at night. Only a few individual customers ordered some wine, drank it and left.
When An Qiao was lying on the bed, she felt like her hands were not her own.
