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

Chapter 169: Stewed Beef Brisket with Potatoes and Tomatoes

Put the tomatoes in boiling water and blanch them, and the skin will come off easily. Then cut the peeled potatoes into pieces, but also cut the tomatoes into pieces.

When everything is ready, take out the blanched beef brisket and set it aside.

Put oil in the pan, add a little rock sugar and stir-fry until the sugar melts.

Pour the beef brisket into the pot and stir-fry until colored. Add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant.

Pour in half of the tomatoes and stir-fry to extract the juice, then add two spoons of soy sauce and a few of Anqiao’s marinated sauces.

Add appropriate amount of boiling water to cover the ingredients and start cooking.

About an hour later, An Qiao had cooked the kneaded noodles into noodle dumpling soup and added 5 eggs into it.

Open the lid of the beef brisket pot, add potatoes and the other half of the tomatoes and stir-fry evenly, then simmer for another quarter of an hour until the potatoes are soft, add salt and pepper to season, stir-fry a few times and it is ready to serve.

At first, the people from Dali Temple were reluctant to go over there and order food, but as the aroma became stronger and stronger, An Qiao still didn't say they could eat. So they went to the next room and ordered half a table of dishes and some desserts and cakes.

At this time, I was eating with gusto.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Lixia's cooking skills have become so good." Gu Qingyun exclaimed.

"That's right, this Kyoto restaurant is really nourishing. I feel like even Zhao Hengzhi's cooking skills have improved." Zhao Huaiqing was enveloped in the sweetness, his face full of happiness.

"If it tastes good, eat more." When Zhao Huaiqing said this, he suddenly saw Zhao Hengzhi walking towards him along the corridor.

I felt so ashamed for a moment. What was this?

I just wanted to give some casual praise, but the real owner came.

When the real culprit came, he just wanted to shut up, and the key point was that the real culprit was the kind he couldn't afford to offend.

An Qiao had just finished cooking the beef brisket. Seeing Zhao Hengzhi coming, she asked in confusion, "Why are you here now, instead of going to work?"

"No, well, if anyone comes, just tell me and I'll make something to eat for her." Zhao Hengzhi said this awkwardly, then quickly fled the scene with a serious face.

"Why are you shy?" An Qiao's words could only be vaguely heard by Zhao Hengzhi.

Zhao Hengzhi ran even faster.

"Is this a play?" Several people from Dali Temple couldn't help asking as they ate and watched the play.

"Beef brisket stewed with potatoes, tomato and eggs, and dumpling soup. Eat quickly and stop asking so many questions." An Qiao said unhappily.

"You're not allowed to ask anymore, you're so stingy..." Gu Qingyun's muttering voice gradually became lower as the bowl was handed over.

For several times, Zhao Hengzhi had not met his fiancée, but sometimes his fiancée would send some things to the front desk. Zhao Hengzhi was used to hiding behind, so he never saw her.

But he saw everything that was eaten, drunk, used, and believed.

An Qiao shook her head. Her place was almost like a temple for matchmakers. Every day, she saw the youth and love of these young guys and girls, and couldn't help but sigh that it was great to be young.

Although her body is not even eighteen years old, the soul inside her is that of a person who is nearly sixty years old.

"Delicious, delicious, my lady, this new dish is so delicious." Zhao Huaiqing almost buried his head in the bowl.

"Slow down, no one is snatching it from you." An Qiao couldn't help but frown.

When Zhao Huaiqing first came to the restaurant, he looked like a noble young man. How come he looks like this now?

What had time done to him?

"It's really delicious." Gu Qingyun also boasted.

"Thank you all for your support." An Qiao didn't know how to respond to other people's compliments, so she could only reply stiffly.

"Why are you so polite, young lady? The food is really delicious. Every time you let the people from Dali Temple eat first, I'm really touched." Xinhai also spoke stiffly.

An Qiao smiled.

Since An Qiao's smile is silly, in fact, many times the new dishes are tried by several people in Dali Temple, which is like a back and forth process.

They thought it was delicious and Anqiao felt relieved.

After chatting and laughing, we finished our lunch.

"Come on, we'll accompany you to see the shop." Zhao Huaiqing said with a smile.

"Isn't this bad? I'm an unmarried woman, and the clothes from your Dali Temple... If others don't know, they will think I have done something wrong." An Qiao said unhappily.

"Oh, you take a carriage. We are going to that street just to tease you." Gu Qingyun said with a smile.

An Qiao then brought along Wangcai, Lai Fu, and Dongzhi, who had already finished shopping and was now enjoying a leisurely time.

Dongzhi drove the carriage, and several people from the Dali Temple rode horses and arrived at the main street together.

Gu Qingyun deliberately slowed down the horse's pace and came to An Qiao's car window.

"Young lady, you are willing to buy the charity hall. I am very grateful to you. Thank you for everything you have done for the court and the people. There is a gambling house on this road. If the people inside want to cause trouble for you, just show this card." Maybe it was because they were on the street, or maybe it was because the words were more serious at the moment. Gu Qingyun's tone was less arrogant and more serious.

"Okay, thank you, Lord Shaoqing." An Qiao did not talk to him jokingly, but solemnly took the sign that Gu Qingyun handed in from the window.

This is a completely red plate with a small beast engraved on it. It looks a bit ferocious. Below it are the words "Shaoqing of Dali Temple", and at the end there are three small words "Gu Qingyun" engraved.

An Qiao solemnly put the sign into his pocket, and the two groups parted ways at the intersection.

Anqiao's shop is at the beginning of this street, which is at the very center corner of Kyoto Prefecture.

Dongzhi did not attend yesterday. Standing in front of this huge shop, he could not help but sigh, "Young lady, how can our restaurant make money like this???"

Qi Tao had already said this yesterday.

"This was bought at an auction. It's a good house. If any disaster happens in the future, we'll have to help the court with the resettlement." An Qiao specifically pointed out the shortcomings first.

Dong Zhi's face changed drastically when he heard this. "This...this...how could the masters of the Dali Temple be like this? I thought they were good people, but they actually...actually...harmed my young lady like this. Oh my."

An Qiao looked at him puzzledly.

"You can tell at first glance that the young lady is a rich girl who grew up in the city. She has no idea how terrible the refugees are. Many of them are not worthy of sympathy at all. Although they are starving and cold and forced to leave their homes, these experiences have turned them into neither human nor ghost. Many of them are cannibals! Not to mention burning, killing and looting, if you open a shop that sells free food, you'll go bankrupt in less than three days." Dongzhi's expression was as if the sky had fallen.

An Qiao looked at his expression and didn't dare to tease him. "It's okay. If there is no disaster, this charity house can offset 10% of the tax on all my properties. Moreover, it is controlled by the court and is in the center of the city. It is impossible for refugees to overturn the shop. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Dongzhi still looked at the shop uncertainly, "Are you going to open a restaurant here, young lady?"

If it were to open a restaurant, wouldn't this charity house suffer even greater losses...
