Chapter 233: The Unstoppable "Taotie"
Chapter 233: The Unstoppable "Taotie"
There was a glimmer of surprise in the eyes of the new buyers. They couldn’t believe that what Qi Tao described really existed in reality?
After all, in this era, once you signed a contract to sell yourself, the master could beat you, punish you, or even kill you.
The government will not take such a case. After all, they are bought servants and they can do whatever their masters want.
"Oh, you will know when the time comes." Qi Tao smiled. She looks dignified and quiet now, and she was like this when Qiufen was just bought. It is not certain what she will be like after that. We should cherish the time when she still looks quiet.
After returning to the restaurant, it was almost time to prepare the dishes in the afternoon. Qi Tao looked at Gu Qingyun's table with horror on his face, opened his mouth, but no words came out.
There were piles of plates, Gu Qingyun who was hesitant to speak, and Shen Ran who was sitting on the other side and looked a little flustered.
What’s going on?
Qi Tao brought Xing Huan, Xing Yao, and Xing Jiu to Qiu Fen. "These are the three girls that the young lady brought back. They will go to the soap shop to sell things later. During this time, they will follow you to the lobby."
Qiufen grinned, "Really? There is such a good thing."
You know, every time the person the young lady is worried about comes back, everyone is full of anticipation and eagerness. After all, everyone is very busy, and if two people come, the workload can be reduced.
"Really, really, really, you take care of it." Qi Tao couldn't stand Qiufen's gaze, so he took the others into the kitchen, "Lixia, the young lady finally found someone to save you."
Lixia was preparing food at the moment, and even Dahan and Dongzhi were dragged along to join in. The two of them were sweating profusely, and when they saw people coming, their eyes lit up.
Lixia washed her hands quickly and wiped them on her apron before looking at the people who had come.
"Do you all know how to cook? Do you all know how to cook?" Perhaps because her voice sounded too expectant, Qi Tao laughed.
"This is the Spring Equinox and Grain Rain, this is the Greater Heat and Lesser Heat, the two little girls should be able to cook, and the two little boys are said to be able to pickle vegetables and meat. Anyway, they should be able to help with kitchen matters, you can use them as you see fit." Qi Tao introduced the people in front of him. Everyone was a little uncomfortable when their name was called, but they immediately put on a flattering smile after they reacted.
"Great, you are my savior. I am almost driven crazy by Dahan and Dongzhi!" Dahan and Dongzhi usually do some miscellaneous and heavy work, and washing and cutting vegetables are indeed not done much.
Qi Tao smiled and said, "There shouldn't be many people on the Lidong and Lichun side, so let them train here first. It won't be too late to send people over there when they are trained."
Now, the small shop that was originally the Kyoto Restaurant has turned into a fast food market. An Qiao came up with an idea to charge prices according to different dishes, which is similar to modern fast food.
One meat and one vegetable, one meat and two vegetables, two meat and two vegetables, three meat and one vegetable…
So over there, they are just busy cooking a few dishes before dinner, and then they are busy serving the food.
In addition, the evening snack stall is still maintained. In addition to Anqiao, Lixia and Lidong occasionally take over to take shifts, and it is not very tiring for several people to do the job.
The newcomers were quickly arranged in positions, and they were asked to wash, cut and prepare the vegetables. As for cooking, Lixia had to do it herself.
Lixia didn't dare let them watch the cooking process. After all, these recipes belonged to the young lady, and if the young lady disagreed, she couldn't show them to outsiders.
So when An Qiao came back, several people were squatting under the porch picking vegetables.
"Can these tasks be done?" An Qiao walked in slowly, carrying a basket of unknown things.
"Yes, yes, it's very simple. We have learned all this in the restaurant." Perhaps they were not used to it yet, so they all looked a little at a loss when the host asked them questions.
"It's good that you can adapt. You will be busier when you can cook in the future." As she said this, An Qiao rolled up her hair.
Now that there is a shortage of staff in the kitchen, she has to help. Besides, the steak is a bit troublesome to prepare, and many people order it for every meal, so she has to take the trouble.
"My dear, Mr. Gu hasn't left yet and has already killed three steaks. Why don't you go and persuade him... Eating like this will cause harm." Lixia complained immediately when she saw An Qiao coming in.
This Mr. Gu is really scary. He comes in and calls you again and again. If you don't cook for him, he will go straight to the kitchen to urge you.
An Qiao smacked her lips in disgust and had to take off the apron again. She adjusted the hairpin on her head with some dissatisfaction and walked out with an angry face.
When a few new little girls and boys passed by, they were all startled, thinking that they had done something wrong.
But then I heard the voice of Miss An.
"What's wrong with you, Lord Shaoqing? If you eat like this, even if we kill 10 more cows in our restaurant, it won't be enough."
Gu Qingyun was a little tipsy at the moment. He was bold enough to say what he usually didn't dare to do or say. "How many times have I told you? Don't call me Lord Shaoqing. I don't like you calling me that. Also, how much I can eat is my business. Just do it. By the way, those two steaks were grilled for me by Lixia. Grill me two more now. I have a lot of little stamps."
An Qiao really wanted to go over and hit him twice. If he didn't like being called Shaoqing, then he shouldn't be Shaoqing of the Dali Temple if he has the ability.
Why did he come here to lose his temper for no apparent reason? ...
"Sir, have you eaten explosives today? Why are you so rude? Although you are of high status, we are just ordinary people doing business. Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. It's not good to eat too much steak. Beef is the most difficult to digest. Now you have eaten three pieces. You can eat it another day."
An Qiao's voice was very gentle, retaining a trace of rationality.
She was really afraid that Gu Qingyun would come in standing and leave lying down. At that time, she would be the real villain.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyun didn't care at all, "I eat a lot, you just need to serve."
Perhaps because he was a little tipsy, his words were unclear. Shen Ran beside him also advised, "Siyu, that's enough. If you continue like this, I'll have to go find your eldest brother."
"My elder brother, my elder brother also wants me to be a leisurely nobleman. You go find him. He probably supports me." Gu Qingyun suddenly seemed to have become a different person, very carefree.
Shen Ran was already numb, and so was An Qiao. Finally, An Qiao stepped forward and said, "This table will not order any more dishes."
"Then I won't pay." Gu Qingyun was playing dirty.
An Qiao was helpless and asked, "How can I stop making trouble? The guests will be here in the evening, and I won't have time to take care of you."
