After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Li Qingqing heard this, although she didn't know the inside story, but she felt that it would be stupid not to make money!

Right now, we are short of money. This dish is easy to make, and earning money from it is easier than hunting.

Li Qingqing agreed without hesitation: "Since Shopkeeper Qi trusts me so much, I am willing to do it."

When Shopkeeper Qi saw that Li Qingqing agreed, he was immediately delighted and quickly led Li Qingqing to the back kitchen.

At this hour, the restaurant was full of customers coming in for lunch. The kitchen was the busiest place, with the chef and waiters working their tails off. When they saw Li Qingqing come in, they just glanced at her and then went about their business.

Shopkeeper Qi called a young man over and asked him to help Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing asked him to clean the pheasant, while she took out a certain amount of fir mushrooms from the cart, cleaned them, and then soaked them in light salt water to remove impurities and earthy smell.

In fact, there is no other trick to stewing pheasant with wild mushrooms. The key is to use old chicken to stew the ingredients. When the heat is right, the food will naturally taste delicious. The main feature is a simple and rough method.

Of course, the ingredients must be deodorized before eating so that they will taste better.

Li Qingqing had never received any formal culinary training, but she had a few small experiences from eating a lot. For example, stewing wild mushrooms with pork was definitely not as delicious as stewing chicken, which was why she was quite puzzled when she saw Shopkeeper Qi only buy two kilograms of wild mushrooms.

It turns out that Zuiyuexuan doesn’t know how to prepare this wild mushroom?

After Li Qingqing stewed the pheasant meat and fir mushrooms in the pot, she had nothing to do.

She told the waiter to be careful with the fire in the stove and to simmer it slowly.

She went out to find Shopkeeper Qi and asked him where he was willing to buy a whole black bear.

She doesn't have the patience to sell them piece by piece.

Shopkeeper Qi was busy in the restaurant, so Li Qingqing had no choice but to wait. After a long time, Shopkeeper Qi finally finished his work.

"You hunted a big black bear?" Shopkeeper Qi showed surprise on his face and looked at Li Qingqing.

This girl looks gentle, lovely and weak, and does not fit the image of a hunter at all. How could she have hunted a black bear?

"Not yet, I'm just asking first." Li Qingqing smiled guiltily.

"Oh, you scared me! It's not so easy to catch a big black bear!" Shopkeeper Qi breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"This black bear is a rare species, but most restaurants in town can't eat a whole one. Unless they're selling it to places like the county or Kyoto."

Shopkeeper Qi pondered for a moment and suddenly became a little excited.

Although his restaurant could not consume an entire black bear on its own, Zuiyuexuan had branches all over the country. It would not be impossible for his Qiu Shui Town and several nearby branches to consume some together.

Moreover, he was notified yesterday that the young master of Zuiyuexuan would be coming to Qiushui Town soon. During this period, if he could get a black bear, it would definitely impress the young master.

"Miss Li, if you can hunt a black bear in the near future, please sell it to me and I will buy it at a high price!" After thinking for a moment, Shopkeeper Qi couldn't help but speak.

"Okay!" Li Qingqing agreed frankly.

After confirming the seller of the black bear, Li Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Li Qingqing keenly smelled a faint fragrance coming from the back kitchen. It must be the pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms.

She then turned around and went back to the back kitchen to check.

In the back kitchen, the aroma had already spread, attracting the attention of the chef and the waiters, and everyone was looking for the source of the fragrance.

Li Qingqing came to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot to check.

In an instant, an even richer aroma spread out, quickly filling the entire back kitchen, attracting the attention of the chef and the waiters.

Shopkeeper Qi smelled the fragrance outside the kitchen and hurried in to check what was going on.

"Is it ready?" Shopkeeper Qi couldn't help asking when he saw Li Qingqing checking on it, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

More than an hour had passed, and all the dishes for Mr. Liu's table had been prepared, except for this one dish, which he had already asked for twice.

Although Shopkeeper Qi was anxious, he also knew that this dish had to be simmered slowly over low heat and could not be rushed.

He watched nervously as Li Qingqing picked up a spoon and stirred the pheasant in the pot. The soup in the pot was rich and had an attractive golden color.

Li Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, sprinkled some salt in it and stirred it, then said to Shopkeeper Qi who came to check on it, "It's already stewed, Shopkeeper Qi, you can send someone to bring it over."

Shopkeeper Qi immediately ordered the waiter to serve the dishes quickly.

Shopkeeper Qi thought that the dish had a fragrant aroma and attractive color, and must taste good too, thinking that he could finally get his job done.

Now he just had to wait for feedback from Mr. Liu so that he could settle the bill with Li Qingqing.

Shopkeeper Qi gestured to Li Qingqing to sit in the kitchen for a while, while he continued to urge the waiters to cook for other diners.

Li Qingqing was not in a hurry. If she walked out onto the street, she might meet Zhou An. It would be better for her to stay here for a while.

After a long time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Li Qingqing looked up and saw the waiter serving the dishes running in with an anxious look on his face and sweat all over his forehead. He went straight to the shopkeeper Qi who was directing the waiters to serve the dishes.

"Oh no, Shopkeeper Qi, something big has happened!"

The waiter found the shopkeeper Qi and said with a sad face, "One of the diners at the private room table has been poisoned after eating the pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms! They are making a fuss now, and I want you to come over quickly!"

"What!?" Shopkeeper Qi was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Li Qingqing in shock, "Miss Li, this..."

"Don't worry!" Li Qingqing soothed him and asked in a deep voice, "Hey man, what's going on?"

"Well, I brought the food over and waited there. At first, they praised the food and I saw with my own eyes that they all ate quite a bit. But not long after, one of them actually collapsed from his chair."

"What are the symptoms of that person?" Li Qingqing asked again.

"There were no other symptoms, except that he suddenly slipped off the chair. No matter how hard we tried to wake him up, his body was still twitching uncontrollably, so he must still be alive!"

The waiter answered honestly, his face pale. He was the one who served the dishes. If the diners at that table investigated the matter without knowing the truth, he would be implicated.

The chef and waiters in the kitchen came over one after another.

The young man who was helping Li Qingqing was so frightened that he was a little incoherent: "Qi, Shopkeeper Qi, I didn't do anything. I was just lighting the fire."

The chef then loudly questioned Li Qingqing: "Miss, there must be something wrong with the wild mushrooms you're selling!"

"Shopkeeper Qi, I told you before that this dish can't be served, but you insisted on serving it! What do you think is going on now?"

Shopkeeper Qi was also somewhat at a loss. He had seen Li Qingqing speak so logically before, so he completely trusted her. He didn't expect that he would be in such a big trouble now!
