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

"But, young lady, why did you prepare so many desserts today?" Zhao Huaiqing raised his head and asked.

"Alas, the popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes at the milk tea shop has passed, and we need to research some new desserts." Being a shopkeeper is hard work, An Qiao said weakly.

I have to try the cookies again some other day, I don’t believe I can’t make them.

Several people were tired today, and there was a lot of silence at the dinner. After the meal, they left the money and left as usual.

The next day.

An Qiao took the servants from the soap factory and rented two horse-drawn carriages to go to the farm.

These servants were selected according to the soap-making process when they were purchased. Two to three people for each link, plus the ones from the farm, were enough.

Arriving in front of the manor, An Qiao looked at the already built "dormitory building" and "delivery room" and nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, since you are working under me, I will be frank with you. The work you are going to do involves confidential information and cannot be leaked. After leaving the factory, no one can tell you what process they are in. If you do a good job, you will get a bonus, and if you do an especially good job, you can get a share of the profits. But if you stab me in the back, you can't blame me for being ruthless." An Qiao frowned and looked extremely serious.

Even Tongshan and his wife were stunned by her. They had never seen Anqiao so serious before. It seemed that the soap matter was indeed a big deal and could not be neglected.

"This is the dormitory. There are not many of us here now, so everyone should be able to get a single room. If you want to find a companion, you can live together as a couple. Those who live together will be allocated larger rooms first." An Qiao introduced the people in front of her.

Most of those bought back were women, and some of them had very good relationships and were really reluctant to separate. Besides, didn’t Miss An say that the two of them would get a bigger house?

Accommodation was quickly arranged. As for meals, since An Qiao asked Aunt Tong to focus on taking care of the flowers and plants, the cooking was left to the two maids hired from the village.

Every day, they would bring their own vegetables, pay according to the market price, and stay in the farm to cook, and they could earn a lot of money every month.

An Qiao brought everyone to the soap factory again. There was a whole row of houses neatly arranged in a row. A few days ago, An Qiao asked Tong Shan to prepare the interior decoration. Most of them were new items that An Qiao had people bring back.

In the first room, they grind shells and burn wood ash. Then, according to the steps, they are divided into four rooms, and each room is given different work clothes for easy management.

In fact, each step is not difficult, the important thing is to combine them together.

So for the step of filtering the lye water, An Qiao specially found two women who were more expensive when they bought it. Originally, An Qiao wanted to directly ask the people in the store or Shuanzi and others to come over, but when she thought about treating the third room so specially, it would make this room more important, so she gave up.

Thinking about the day when she would make soap, An Qiao tried to make a few pieces by herself. They were indeed better than the expensive soapberries on the market, but the output of one person was low after all.

In the first month, An Qiao didn't dare to set a high goal and just tried to make 300 yuan.

Everything was arranged, and they could start work only after the raw materials were delivered in three days. After handing out work clothes, An Qiao said, "You will help work in the fields and feed the chickens and ducks in the next few days. In three days, you will all go to the factory to start work."

The people below were chattering, and no one could resist. They were all peasants, so they were very familiar with these things and it was not difficult for them.

After arranging everything, An Qiao brought some different seeds to Tong Shan and his wife. "In addition to these seeds, I will reserve some fruit trees later. During this period of time, please tidy up the back mountain."

Tong Shan nodded. "What kind of fruits are there?"

Fruit trees also have different habits. Some fruit trees like shade, while others like sun. If they like shade, you have to prepare the shady side, and if they like sun, you have to prepare the illuminated side.

An Qiao thought for a moment, "Probably apples, peaches, pears, cherries, pomegranates, oranges, persimmons, dates... Oh, I'll go look for a hawthorn tree."

Tong Shan's eyes widened, "Young lady...are you going to plant so many at once?"

An Qiao nodded, "When the time comes, ask the village to help. As long as it is suitable, plant all that can be planted. In this way, after one or two years when the fruits are ripe, we can can them and make them into food."

Tong Shan thought about it and realized that the fruit trees the young lady mentioned were not very tasty, and most of them were sour and astringent. Could they really be used if they were planted?

In fact, it was because the fruits of this era had not yet been grafted, so many fruit trees were small and tasted bad. But An Qiao thought that they should be able to be grafted, so she decided to give it a try.

"Then young lady, remember to pick some larger saplings that are easier to grow." Tong Shan's idea was simple. Since he was going to plant trees, he might as well plant larger fruit trees, which would be easier to grow and take care of, so they could bear fruit in the second year.

An Qiao nodded. Whether it is grafting or planting, it is indeed better to have slightly larger ones.

Looking at the fruits and vegetables in the field, they are basically growing well. Tong Shan has taken good care of them, and this year's kimchi is sure to be delicious.

After finishing everything, the sun was setting when Anqiao left. Aunt Tong wanted to keep her for dinner, but Anqiao hurried back because she had to go to the milk tea shop to explain the new dim sum recipe to Xiaolu and Xiaohong the next day.

It has been really busy recently. Farmers are busy with the autumn harvest, the Dali Temple is busy solving cases, and An Qiao is busy here and there, and I don't know what he is busy with.

.......

Inside the Dali Temple, Gu Qingyun looked at the records of today's interrogation, constantly recording and screening.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people did go to the main street. They all said that it was suddenly crowded, and then suddenly not crowded. If Gu Qingyun hadn't asked today, they would have thought that it was because of the different flow of people.

But when I think about it, that night was indeed strange.

Someone in the Kyoto government office said that he bought some sweet cakes and ate them along the way without feeling dizzy. However, when he reached the center of the street, he did feel briefly dizzy, not knowing whether it was because of the crowds and heat or for some other reason.

Some people also said that they bought a mask and nothing happened along the way, except that they felt dizzy, but it was nothing serious, so they took it off when they got home. They also thought it was because there were too many people and it was suffocating.

There were also many people who went to the Dali Temple. Those who were skilled in martial arts could quickly escape from the crowd, so they did not feel dizzy.

But those who have not had much time to practice have almost all the symptoms they have, such as crowds, congestion, shortness of breath, dizziness, etc.

It didn't seem to matter what was bought. Either there was something wrong with everything, or the drug wasn't put in anything.

In addition to the main street, there are many children missing from other streets. When asked, the answers are similar.

The child went to the street to beg for food, bought food, and lost it while walking.

Because there were so many people, I couldn't turn around to pull the children back, and I thought the children were my own. But when the children were taken away, they didn't cry or make any noise, and I didn't hear any sound.
