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

Seeing that there was no one he liked, the human trafficker became anxious, "This young lady is looking for someone who can cook or paint. Is there anyone who can do that? If so, please step forward. If you are chosen by the master, it will be a whole new world."

There was a chuckle from somewhere in the back, and the human broker got angry. He walked to the back and dragged out a kid, "Mao San, it's you again. How long have you been in this brokerage shop? If you don't want to leave, you will cook and wash clothes for the brothers here for the rest of your life."

An Qiao looked at the boy who was dragged out. Although he looked a little stunted and dirty, his eyes were very much like a dog's. So she asked, "What were you laughing at just now?"

Mao San looked up with some disdain, "Laugh at this Lu Ya guy, only he is the one, he is still thinking about a new world to fool people, everyone here knows it, no matter how many masters I change, I will be a servant, what about a new world, he only knows how to make empty promises every day, it's no different from working anywhere." After Mao San finished speaking, he was about to retreat. An Qiao was happy, this kid was exactly what she wanted in her heart as a servant, quirky and insightful.

The man was so angry that he wanted to kick him, but An Qiao raised her hand and said, "I want him, give me his indenture."

The trafficker was stunned. This young lady was really weird, and the person who wanted to buy her was also weird. What was even weirder was that she actually liked Mao San, even though it was only worth one tael and eight cents, but it was really too weird!!! There were too many things he didn't understand, so he had better hand over the indenture quickly and let her go.

Taking Mao San out of the pawnshop, An Qiao looked at the indenture and saw that Mao San was only nine years old. A young boy like him should help as much as he can. But Mao San asked as they walked, "Young lady, don't you mind that Mao San just bumped into you?"

"Did you bump into me just now?" An Qiao was a little distracted and Mao San was speechless.

"Your name doesn't sound nice and doesn't fit my high-end image. I'll change it for you. From now on, you can be called Koi. It will increase the popularity of our restaurant." Regardless of Mao San's absent-mindedness and speechlessness, An Qiao decided on the name and took Mao San, no, Koi, back to Kyoto Restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, Qi Tao was guarding the pot. He had been eating for several days in a row and was tired of all the delicious mountain delicacies.

The smell was so strong that some people couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although they couldn't buy it every day, smelling it was still a kind of enjoyment. At that time, most people only used some cooking wine to remove the fishy smell when cooking pig offal, and they didn't know about the marinade. After all, this expensive spice was still popular among the nobility.

An Qiao brought the koi fish and smelled the aroma as soon as she reached the entrance of the alley. She immediately made a decision to bring the koi fish back to the restaurant and sell it in a half-large pot at the street entrance. People at the intersection who wanted to taste it would gather around her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a genius, so she returned to the restaurant with a smile.

At this moment, Koi is certain that this young lady seems to be a little different from others. He hopes that there really is some new world. However, it is all work, and it doesn't matter who he works for.

"Qitao! Look, I bought a really good kid!"

"My dear, this kid is not even as old as me. He is carrying a lot of things. Are you planning to raise a little brother for future use?"

An Qiao was teased by the little girl and started to tickle Qitao, "His name is Jinli, your daughter has a great talent for naming!" Jinli walked up and called out, "Sister Qitao." Her eyes were always fixed on Qitao. The master and servant in this store didn't really look like master and servant, but more like, sisters?

An Qiao asked Qi Tao to go to the backyard to boil some water for the koi. Before the guests came, they should wash them quickly. They would have to help later. An Qiao thought, yes, I am a black-hearted boss. Little did she know that servants in this era were like this. If they were bought by a rich family, they would have started working long ago.

Fortunately, there were several tailor shops nearby. An Qiao took the money and the dirty clothes and asked the shopkeeper to help see if there were any ready-made clothes for sale.

The shopkeeper looked at the dirty clothes and learned that it was a newly bought servant. He couldn't help but praise Miss An Qiao for being so kind. An Qiao smiled and agreed, but she was secretly complaining that it was definitely not her kindness, but that wearing such dirty clothes would affect the average level of the entire restaurant.

As he was thinking about it, he realized that Qi Tao and himself didn't have many sets of clothes, so he simply asked the boss to make a few more sets. The temperature was high in the summer, and Qi Tao and his hands were smoking from washing clothes every day.

After a busy day, An Qiao returned to the restaurant with a set of clothes for Koi. The owner said that the other clothes would be delivered directly in a few days.

Qi Tao always felt that An Qiao was extravagant, so she kept a close eye on the money box during this period. Every time An Qiao wanted to buy something, she would persuade her earnestly. But after all, they were master and servant, and An Qiao took the money in the end, but Qi Tao felt heartbroken. She didn't need to stew the meat, and the food could be simpler. All kinds of pots, pans, and bowls and plates, in just half a month, her young lady had filled the entire cupboard.

At this time, Qi Tao looked at the purse box which was empty again and the young lady who was enthusiastically sent home by the shopkeeper next door, and he understood what was going on. The young lady had been saying every day that she wanted to buy new clothes in the past few days, and after not seeing her for a while, she came back with new clothes.

Fortunately, there is only one piece, so it should be the young lady’s own.

No, that’s for the koi. No, with that much money, the girl wouldn’t have bought dozens of pieces.

Qi Tao collapsed.

"Qitao, go give the clothes to Koi quickly. We'll have to wait a little longer for the two of us. This is the only one that suits Koi, so we'll have to wait for the others. Summer is coming, and I've picked out aqua blue and super pink orange for you. You'll be stunned by the beauty!" Qitao was so moved that he was speechless.

When Koi finished washing and changing clothes and walked to the front yard, An Qiao's eyes lit up. She had a good eye. After the kid was washed, although he was still a little dark, his wheat-colored skin, coupled with a pair of cute puppy eyes, his small lips were tender and thin, and his eyelashes were densely covering his slightly brown pupils. Although he could not be called red-lipped and white-toothed, An Qiao thought that if she raised him a little more, she would be able to raise this child to look like a porcelain doll.

Koi felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and blushed silently, but said stubbornly, "What kind of work do I need to do? This suit is not cheap, how much do you want to deduct from my wages?"

"Who are you looking down on? Our young lady spends money like water, so why would she care about your little money? Today you and I are selling braised food here, and I will go to the entrance of the alley to solicit customers." Qi Tao was still immersed in the sadness of An Qiao spending a lot of money all of a sudden, and spoke angrily.

An Qiao shook her head helplessly, holding the small pot and walked out of the alley.
