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

At dawn the next day, Gu Qingyun took Zhao Huaiqing, Wu Huan and others to investigate the dry goods shop.

Following the route An Qiao gave yesterday, within two hours, he had bought all the dry goods and seasonings that were suspected to be problematic, sorted them into different categories, put them on labels, and brought them back to the Dali Temple for careful inspection.

Although it is not known whether these dried goods are really poisonous, many of them are obviously exotic fruits from the Western Regions that are prohibited from sale.

Moreover, after they entered many shops, the attitude of the shopkeepers was extremely bad. Not only did they give them cold looks, but many of them also looked at them lingering in front of the strange fruit, as they were unfamiliar faces.

Keep driving them away, saying it doesn’t look like they can afford it.

It was obvious that they knew some fruits could not be sold, but they were still selling them secretly. When they saw strangers staring at them and they did not have the unique smell of oil smoke from a restaurant, they kept chasing people away.

Fortunately, they were all from the Dali Temple, so they were not unable to cope with the situation. They bought all the seasonings in no time.

While waiting for the inspection, Gu Qingyun went to see Chef Li again. She looked even weaker than yesterday. The moment she took off her blindfold, she burst into tears and begged Gu Qingyun to turn off the annoying water drops.

Gu Qingyun looked at her quietly, "We have already found out the ingredients of the poison you used. You didn't explain yesterday, can you explain it today?"

"I don't know...I really don't know..." Chef Li's eyes were full of pleading, and her voice became faint.

"Then tell me everything you know." Gu Qingyun used his left hand to gently massage his right hand, which was tired from writing, and his voice had a calm and seductive tone.

"I've said it all, I really have said it all. The poison... I really don't know what it was, I, put it on the eldest and third young ladies." Cook Li looked dazed, repeating this sentence over and over again, without any other words.

Gu Qingyun lost her patience and had her eyes blindfolded again. When Chef Li saw that she was going to be placed in this big house again, with no sound except the sound of dripping water, she immediately began to struggle.

"My husband, my husband, Xu Du, please go check him, don't leave me under these drops of water anymore, please, please, Shaoqing, please..."

Gu Qingyun nodded, did not ask anyone to turn on the water drop device, and walked out of the interrogation room.

The people outside had already gone far away, but Chef Li was still shouting at the top of her voice, as if she were crazy.

Gu Qingyun found Xinhai again and asked him to check on Li the chef's husband Xu Du. Then he got up and went to various dry goods stores, taking the ingredient list just handed over by the doctor and the coroner, and went out with a few clerks.

Every dry goods shop that had problems was checked and rectified, and those with minor problems were fined. Then, they went door to door with the portrait of Xu Du, who had been driven out by the black disaster, to question them.

Finally, at a dry goods store in Taipei City, the owner looked at the shop that had been raided and said angrily, "Isn't this Xu Du? Deadbeat."

"Oh? You know him." Gu Qingyun became interested.

"Yes, Xu Du. He often comes to buy things from me. The Shaoqing said that it is against the rules to buy things, but he often buys them. But he said that he was buying them for the medical treatment of the lady in his mansion. Who knows? He always comes to buy on credit and is stingy and shameless. He always tries to take advantage of me. It's very annoying." The boss pointed at the portrait helplessly.

"Oh? Which mansion does he work for?" Gu Qingyun complained in his heart, is it because Xinhai didn't find out that this person was doing marginal work? !

"I don't know about that. A few years ago, he was eating, drinking and having fun every day, making a lot of money and being beaten by debt collectors every day. Later, he said that he found a job, and he was singing like a liberated serf. He had money again, and he would not be chased for debt even if he was eating, drinking and having fun. I don't know what kind of conscienceless job he did." The boss said again.

"Well, if Xu Du comes again, please notify us and I will let your shop open as soon as possible." Gu Qingyun said.

In fact, many shops in this city don’t know what can be sold and what can’t be sold. They just watch other shops make money, so they also buy some from Western merchants.

As time went by, every household started selling some banned items. But they didn't expect that after a long time, some people with ulterior motives would take advantage of the situation.

At the Kyoto restaurant on the other side, many people were already able to cook, so An Qiao felt a lot more relaxed. She didn't feel like she was about to break her hands like she did a few days ago.

Seeing that everyone has become familiar with the fun of collecting stamps, I began to think about trying something new.

It was summer, so An Qiao would buy some ice cubes and make ice sculptures. She would pour some prepared jams, strawberry jams, mixed berries jams, and each one looked exquisite and beautiful. Many guests would buy some. Many servants in the mansion thought that it would be fun to put them in front of the master.

Recently, many servants from the marquis and duke's families come to buy food. That day, Gu Qingyun brought the food box home. It was time for dinner. The grandmother tasted some and ate with a smile on her face. She said it was delicious and she wanted to eat more.

Gu Qingyun also happily told his grandmother that Miss An was very good at cooking, sweet, salty, spicy, sour, in short, she could cook everything.

My grandmother has been in good health these years, and the family doesn't really control her eating habits, so she can try whatever she wants.

Since that day, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion often went to restaurants in Kyoto, and the servants who came to buy food became familiar with An Qiao.

Seeing that more and more people came, An Qiao put a barbecue grill in the yard, which is a must-have for her midnight snack stall.

There have been quite a few people here at night recently, but An Qiao is still able to handle the situation. After all, most of the people coming and going are pedestrians who come in to rest and sober up, and not many people order greasy or meaty food.

But An Qiao was thinking of grilling some barbecue for midnight snack yesterday, otherwise it would be tasteless to just drink plum wine.

But he was seen by Xin Haiwen, who came back from the yamen in the evening. He came in wearing the Dali Temple's "school uniform" and ate a lot.

An Qiao suddenly felt like this was the cafeteria of Dali Temple.

He was lost in thought, and Gu Qingyun, Zhao Huaiqing and the others all stood behind him.

An Qiao felt a huge pressure from a greedy ghost behind her. When she turned around, she saw four big men standing behind her. "How many...guests? What are you doing???"

"We want to eat." Gu Qingyun sat next to An Qiao regardless.

"How did you get in? Isn't this the backyard?" An Qiao could no longer treat them as guests.

"Climb over the wall." Gu Qingyun said righteously.

"? Why not go through the door?" An Qiao skewered a bunch of meat.

"Qitao said you were in the backyard, so I knew you were getting something delicious behind people's backs." Gu Qingyun's voice was a little bit arrogant.

An Qiao finally gave in and became a tool for skewering, constantly skewering. After all, there were several mouths waiting for her skewering.
