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

In a restaurant in Kyoto, three days have passed since the day she found out that she might be taken back by Wu Jiangan to be a concubine.

On the first day, everyone in the restaurant was very nervous, fearing that a playboy would show up at the door and rush to snatch the young lady back as a concubine.

On the second day, although they were somewhat relaxed, they were still very nervous. Only An Qiao thought that it was better to wait until the sky fell, so why worry about it?

On the third day, An Qiao was already thinking about new dishes, but everyone was still extremely alert. If there was a little more noise at the door, everyone would watch anxiously, fearing that something might happen.

At this time, An Qiao was lowering her head and thinking about new dishes.

This stinky tofu is also delicious when used to cook fish, and it can also be used to cook beef.

Or a few more pot bases?

But there are too many hot pot bases in the restaurant, with all kinds of flavors, and it feels like it’s almost becoming a hot pot restaurant.

It would be fine to sell it directly, but An Qiao always feels it's a pity.

……

Suddenly, an abrupt voice reached An Qiao's ears.

"Is this the Kyoto restaurant?!" A rough male voice appeared at the door, sounding very disdainful.

Someone nearby quickly echoed, "It is said that this is the place. Zheng Yuanyuan refused to tell anyone no matter what. If he didn't have such a powerful father, I would have killed several sick kids like him."

"In Kyoto restaurants, it is said that they don't like noisy people like us. I want to see how much they dislike us." The voice was actually considered elegant, but the words that came out were still a little disappointing.

An Qiao frowned and looked up. The little girls in front were already ready for battle.

"Young lady, listening to that voice... I'm afraid he's here to cause trouble." Qiufen looked at Anqiao with a frown on her face, thinking that Anqiao was scared.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. I will definitely protect you and will never let them snatch you away."

An Qiao... That's not the reason.

She just thought that such words were probably meant to cause trouble again. Someone on the other side also mentioned Zheng Yuanyuan, probably the students from Guining Academy.

The boastful Wu Jiangan was probably among them.

An Qiao lowered her head. If the enemy doesn't move for now, I won't move either. Being too nervous will only attract more attention.

"Don't be so nervous. They are probably just trying to attract attention. They like to see you nervous. If you remain indifferent, they may lose interest soon." An Qiao lowered her voice to remind the little girls.

Yu Shui was already sweating, and you could see that the tips of her ears were red.

Dongzhi heard the noise and came out in a hurry, "Young lady, that fat boy is Wu Jiangan."

An Qiao looked up and found that he exactly fit her stereotype of a playboy.

The face was squeezed into a lump by the fat. I don’t know if it’s because the eyebrows and eyes are small to begin with, and the fat made them even smaller.

He was so big and strong that the belt around his waist could hardly cover him.

Looking at that arrogant expression and the gold, silver and jade pendants on his belt, they made constant clanging sounds when he walked.

Like a nouveau riche, what kind of aesthetic sense is that?

"Someone come and order some food for us." A dude sat down, fanning himself.

"Hey, don't act like bandits. People who don't know may think we are bandits. How many times have I told you? Be elegant, be elegant." One of the young men, who was dressed in gold and silver, looked superior.

They really look more dissolute than the other.

But obviously, none of them would submit to the other. Compared with Anle's group, who all supported Anle, this group of people seemed to be the king of their own mountain.

"Ordering dishes...? Hahahahaha, you can actually say such elegant words, don't you usually say to provide one portion of all the dishes, what's the matter? Are you afraid that we can't afford to pay for such a small restaurant? We can also afford the biggest banquet and the biggest private room in Zuixianlou." The man spoke deliberately louder, and everyone around him looked at him, and some regular customers even looked at him as if he were a fool.

Isn’t the purpose of eating to eat enough and enjoy the food?

Why do these bandits look like they haven’t eaten?

Qiufen reluctantly stepped forward to order the dishes, "What would you like to eat, gentlemen?"

"Give us a portion of everything in your store." Wu Jiangan straightened his body, looking eager to try.

"Yes, we have to try all the food in your restaurant. After all, our Master Wu is going to marry your young lady soon, and we can still afford the betrothal gift." A lackey next to him looked at Wu Jiangan with a smile and a eager look, like a pug.

An Qiao... Why are there another group of people with limited intelligence? I have some free time recently, so I have to go to the temple to burn some incense. Why do these plague gods come one after another?

Qiufen gritted her teeth and a plan came to mind.

Maybe it's because he is used to being so disrespectful to Anqiao on weekdays, or maybe it's just that the Autumnal Equinox is naturally more aggressive.

"Oh, sir. This is your first time in our restaurant. We have a lot of dishes, but we don't have a menu for you to order. We just order according to the vegetables and meats of the day. If you can't tell us what you want to eat, our kitchen can't make it."

Qiufen looked at everyone with a smile, as if he didn't care what they thought. Sure enough, those playboys got angry.

As a playboy, he is flattered wherever he goes. Even if he asks for the stars in the sky, others will eagerly give him something. How could he dare to disobey him directly?

"What do you mean? You're just a little girl with a sharp tongue. Be careful or I'll ask your boss to kick you out." One of the dudes said angrily. Wasn't Qiufen's words just saying that they were ignorant and had never ordered dishes from this restaurant?

I have never seen such a little girl who dares to disobey them in person.

Maybe in other restaurants, the girls would be afraid to be kicked out, but this is a Kyoto restaurant, and they are not afraid of being kicked out even if they are afraid of heaven or earth.

"Why are you so angry, sir? I'm just introducing our restaurant to you." Qiufen acted very scared, but his mean look instantly made the playboys even angrier.

"Where is the shopkeeper? Shopkeeper, call your shopkeeper out. You really don't know your place. Do you know who we are?"

Wu Jiangan didn't say a word, but the other playboys started to jump up and down.

"Our shopkeeper is very busy and doesn't have time to meet every diner. I am just introducing myself to you. If you can't stand it, please leave."

As soon as Qiufen finished speaking, a playboy stood up and wanted to take action.

Qiufen gritted her teeth and took two steps back. In fact, she was already a little frightened by the ferocious-looking men opposite her, but she really didn't want to give in.
