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

"Why didn't you tell daddy that you came? Daddy is carefully selecting a maid for you."

An Yonghou took a few steps forward, and it was obvious that he really gave all his tenderness to Qi Ningan.

"I'm bringing food to my brother." Qi Ning'an responded obediently.

Then An Yonghou said, "This kid is very stingy..."

But before he could finish his words, Qi Ningliang interrupted him hastily, "Dad!"

He didn't want his sister to know that he was a little jealous, making him look like a kindergarten kid. Is this what it feels like to have brothers and sisters? It's really not bad.

Qi Ning'an smiled and was taken aside by Marquis An Yong. She pointed at almost all the maids in the mansion in front of her and said, "The ones on the left are those chosen by Dad. Dad thinks they are good. The ones on the right are those that Dad just thought were not suitable. You can decide for yourself."

Qi Ning'an walked closer and saw that almost everyone had kindness on their faces, and they seemed very willing to go with her, or perhaps everyone accepted her sincerely.

Compared to the palace fighting novels I read in my previous life, this one seems a little too easy. I don’t know if I’m lucky, or if this era is really not as scary as I imagined.

"Father, why did you pick her out?" Qi Ning'an pointed at a little girl who was transferred to the inappropriate group. The little girl was very cute. Although she was just a servant, she was so plump and beautiful for some reason.

An Yonghou looked in the direction of Qi Ningan's finger and curled his lips helplessly, "That girl is always careless, so I picked her out."

Qi Ningan looked at the girl seriously and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl stepped forward obediently, "Replying to the young lady, this servant Jin Bao."

It was well known that when Qi Ning'an was choosing people, she always liked to choose those that others were unwilling to choose. It wasn't that she was a saint and liked to buy the last cat in the closet.

In fact, she always felt that many of the people left over were very interesting.

For example, this Jinbao, you see, she is round and plump, very cute, but not bloated.

Qi Ning'an simply said, "How careless are you? How about you give me a cup of tea and let me see?"

Jinbao responded with a smile, then turned and left.

An Yonghou looked at his daughter's aesthetic taste and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the person he had carefully selected would probably not be liked by his daughter.

Qi Ning'an continued to look at the crowd and said, "I can't choose just like that. How about...while Jinbao is making tea, everyone come over and introduce each of them to me?"

Who would refuse the young lady's request?

Soon they came forward one by one and introduced themselves. To be honest, Qi Ning'an felt that even the few people that her father said were unstable were very stable in her eyes. Perhaps it was because people in the restaurant were too casual.

In the end, after a dizzying amount of choices, Jinbao came up carrying the teacup. His steps were steady, and he lifted and held the teacup steadily. There didn't seem to be any problems at the moment.

An Yonghou said, "You specifically asked her to make tea, so she will not make any mistakes. If she did the work on her own on ordinary days, she might be careless."

"Miss, please have some tea. This is the best white tea, which is the master's favorite drink on weekdays. But I thought that young ladies like to drink scented tea, so I brewed a cup of summer lotus leaf tea. I saw that the corners of Miss's mouth were a little dry, and drinking lotus leaf tea can reduce the internal heat."

Jin Bao thoughtfully brought a plate of pastries, Qi Ning'an was very satisfied, and asked, "Are you willing to come back with me? My place is not as comfortable as the Marquis' Mansion."

Unexpectedly, Jin Bao was so sweet, "Miss, you are really worrying too much. Of course I am unwilling. I heard that the food in Kyoto restaurants is the best in the world. What am I picky about?"

Qi Ning'an laughed, it turned out that this girl also loved to eat, so he would just keep her.

Qi Ning'an chose another girl from among those selected by An Yonghou. His father had helped him choose the girl early in the morning, so it was not good to offend his father.

When I asked his name, it turned out to be Jin Xi.

It seems that he entered the Marquis' Mansion with Jin Bao. In this way, there is no need to worry about awkwardness when the two of them get along with each other. Qi Ning'an is very satisfied.

On a rare day off, Qi Ningliang went out after breakfast. It was said that he went hiking at Xuning Temple outside the city with a few friends.

An Yonghou sighed and went to supervise the construction of the new house. Fortunately, the house was located behind his daughter's restaurant. He could go there occasionally and then spend the rest of the time hiding in the restaurant eating and drinking.

Qi Ning'an naturally took Jin Xi and Jin Bao back with him. As usual, An Yonghou did not choose to take a car, so Qi Ning'an walked back with them.

Although she suddenly became the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion, Qi Ning'an did not have the style of a legitimate daughter at all. She still dressed however she was comfortable and did not cause any unnecessary trouble.

Today, the incident of that day was spread again in Kyoto Prefecture. The story was told in great vividness and color, mentioning Anle over and over again. Those who used to be Anle's lackeys had unknowingly become a sharp sword stabbing him, and in the end, no one let him go.

As soon as Qi Ning'an returned to the restaurant, he introduced Jinxi and Jinbao, and asked Qiufen to introduce them to the guests, while he went straight into the kitchen to make candied haws for everyone.

It was not until after lunch that An Yonghou arrived at the restaurant. Qi Ningan was sitting aside drawing.

An Yonghou retreated as soon as he saw it, "Isn't this the blueprint of Huguang House?"

Everyone in Kyoto Prefecture knew what had happened in Huguang Mansion, let alone Marquis Anyong, whose ears were callused from being touched so often.

Qi Ning'an nodded and said, "I bought this at a low price at the Dali Temple auction. It was really cheap."

An Yonghou... How could it not be cheap? It almost became a haunted house for generations.

Qi Ning'an then said, "I want to make it into a new paradise where you can play some horror games, but nothing will happen. It's just a scary atmosphere. Plus it has its own legendary effect. I think it's easy."

After all, Marquis An Yong was also an ancient man. He not only had a sense of awe for these gods and ghosts, but was also very afraid of any accidents that might happen.

"My dear girl, let's try something else, okay? Isn't this... a little too dangerous?"

Qi Ning'an explained in a soothing tone, "Don't be afraid, father. I'm not planning to do this rashly. This house has been in my hands for half a year, and I've never touched it. I was thinking of moving it when I had the chance. Now I'm the daughter of the marquisate that everyone knows, right? I also want to take advantage of the favorable conditions given by father. If you are afraid of ghosts and gods, I want to build a temple in this house. The temple is on the top, and there will be a garden party below. It will be a little scary, but not that scary. I believe that with a temple up there, many people will be willing to come."
