Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 36: The restaurant opens

Ning Xi was taken aback by her: "You want to live here?"

"Yes, haven't my mother told you yet, I want to worship you as my teacher?"

"Even if you want to take me as your teacher, you don't need to live here, you just come every day! Anyway, the Anguo Gongfu is not far from here."

"How can that be done? You must have the attitude of being a teacher. I really want to learn to cook well." An Mingyue turned her head and glanced at the servant over there who was carrying luggage, "Hey, what about you, The box is not placed over there, but in the room over here."

"But Miss An, I only have two rooms here. How can you live here when you move here?"

"It's just right, I have a room, and you two have a room. Look, I have rearranged both rooms. I threw all the junk in your original room and replaced them with new ones. , don't thank me!"

"What are you throwing at me?" Meng Shuangshuang was anxious and ran into the room to check.

Ning Xi said: "Miss An, if you have to stay, it's not impossible, but you have to follow our rules here."

"What's the rule?"

"In my place, everyone is the same, there is no big lady, so no maids are allowed, you have to do everything yourself, and we don't raise freelancers here, you have to go to the store Let’s help out here, so, since you want to learn to cook, start as an apprentice in the kitchen!”

An Mingyue has a playful temperament. After listening to these two things, she didn't feel anything, so she agreed casually: "Okay, no problem."

"Then these people..." Ning Xi looked at the group of servants who gave her a headache because of the mess in the yard.

An Mingyue clapped her hands and said loudly: "Okay, you can go back after you have put your things back, and don't come here if you have nothing to do in the future."

The people were gathered in the courtyard, a girl who looked like a big maid stood in front of everyone and gave a few orders, and a group of people backed out one by one, the maid walked to An Mingyue: "Miss, everything is according to your order. It's settled properly, I wonder if Miss wants to go back to the room to rest now?"

"Dangui, you also go back."

"Ah?" Dan Gui knelt down in fright, "I don't know what the servant did wrong, why did the young lady drive the servant back?"

An Mingyue said impatiently, "Just go back when I tell you to go back, what are you talking about, I'm fine here, and I don't need anyone to wait on me."

"But before going out, Madam instructed the servants to take good care of the young lady, and the servants did not dare to leave without permission." Dan Gui continued to kowtow.

"Miss Ning has already said that there is no need for maids to serve here. When you go back, tell your madam directly. If it makes Miss Ning unwilling to be my master, then I will ask for you." An Mingyue kicked her foot. She clicked, "Let's go!"

Dan Gui had to bow her head and back down: "Then the servant will leave first. By the way, Miss, do you need the servant to send someone to pick up Miss's change of clothes every day?"

Ningxi coughed, and An Mingyue hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up, how can there be so much long-winded!"

Dan Gui had to close the door and go out. An Mingyue took the initiative to close the door, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, what's the master's order next?"

"The last time I asked you to learn swordsmanship, how was it?"

An Mingyue immediately said with a bitter face: "Master, will I succeed if I don't learn this? Anyway, I don't need to cut it myself when I cook in the future. Someone will cut it for me."

Ning Xi waved his hand casually: "Well, if you don't study it, you can stay wherever you like!"

"No, Master, don't leave me alone, okay, I'll go to study, how do I study?"

"Go to the kitchen and ask Master Rong what he plans to cook for us at noon today. Go help him cut the vegetables."

Rong Daquan rarely saw Miss An lowered her eyebrows to ask herself a question, and happily gave her a large basket of potatoes: "To make beef stew with potatoes at noon, you peeled the potatoes and cut them into large pieces. "

"So much?" An Mingyue shouted.

"Then do you still want to cut it?" Rong Daquan asked with a smile.

"Cut, of course I have to." An Mingyue picked up a potato angrily and peeled it sharply.

The primary apprentice who was in charge of peeling and cutting vegetables couldn't see it: "Miss An, this potato is not peeled like this. According to your cutting method, less than half of a potato is left in the end, what a waste. Ah."

An Mingyue glared at him: "I like to cut like this, what's the waste?"

"Yes, but this is all bought with money. It's a cost. It's on the restaurant's books, and it's linked to our bonus." Income, this opinion cannot but be mentioned!

"It's okay, you let her do it." Meng Shuangshuang came over and said, "Ningxi said, Mrs. An said that all the expenses of Miss An in our place can be reported to the Anguo Gongfu, such a waste. The potatoes you have, just charge it directly to Miss An's account."

"Yes, thank you Miss Meng." Only then did the elementary apprentice go lazy.

An Mingyue pretended not to hear, so she thought that Miss Ben would not care about you hillbilly who have never seen money!

The potatoes that were cut at the end were small as thick as a little finger, and the big ones were as big as a person's fist. Rao Shirong was an excellent cook. The beef stew made with potatoes was still terrible. The small ones were already stewed. It was rotten, but the chunks were not cooked enough to be soft enough to taste.

Guys have been spoiled by delicious food these days. When they suddenly ate this dish which was of poor quality, they couldn't help but complain: "Who cut the vegetables? !”

The apprentice who chopped vegetables hurriedly raised his hand to explain: "It's not me, Miss An did it."

Everyone started booing: "It's worth it, no matter how bad it is, if you can eat the dishes cut by Miss An."

An Mingyue is really **** off.

An Mingyue continued to help in the kitchen for the next two days. When the fire was burning, the half-faced white wall that had just been painted was blackened. of white flour, accidentally smashed twenty-eight bowls, sixteen saucers and nine soup pots, and also ruined all the cabinets in the kitchen due to excessive force, and now almost no cabinet door can be opened. Closed successfully.

At the end, everyone in the kitchen was about to cry: "Auntie, we beg you, don't work anymore, okay?"

"No way, if I don't work, Ningxi will be unhappy." An Mingyue grabbed a chicken from the cage, holding a kitchen knife, her eyes shining brightly, and she was about to decapitate.

"No, no, we promise, we won't let Miss Ning know about it, and we will help you with the wind. As soon as she comes over, you can just pretend, won't you?"

"Okay, then let's do it!" An Mingyue happily threw the chicken, which clucked around, causing chaos in the kitchen.

At first, An Mingyue felt quite at ease. She walked around humming a little tune with her sleeves on her sleeves, watching other people's busyness turn their backs, which made her even more relaxed.

But gradually she felt strange, why are these people so busy? Ning Xi was busy ordering recipes, and took a few chefs to learn how to cook. An Mingyue listened to a few sentences in the past, and found that they were too high-level, and she couldn't understand half a sentence; Meng Shuangshuang was busy with the overall situation and dealt with all parties. Problems occur at any time in all aspects; the halls are busy reciting recipes and practicing the gestures of greeting guests; the apprentices in the kitchen are busy practicing knives, spoons, and different seasonings; even the chores are busy. He scrubbed the already clean and bright shop over and over again, not letting go of every tiny carving on the handrail of the stairs.

An Mingyue feels that she is really a little empty when she has nothing to do!

In the midst of An Mingyue's emptiness and resentment, Shuangxi Restaurant excitedly ushered in the official opening day of Shuangxi Restaurant.

Prince Qi Wang Shizi was very powerful this time. He invited the lion dance team. Early in the morning, the door of Sungai Tower was buzzing with gongs and drums. The high plaque of Sungai Tower was covered with a bright red silk cloth. Flower baskets of various colors are lined up at the entrance of the restaurant, which looks very pompous.

In a short time, the entire street was full of neighbors watching the lively, and some people even crowded to the door of Pinxianju, a restaurant opposite, and the little Er of Pinxianju greeted while swatting flies: "Please come from the guest officer. ?"

"Go, go, don't you see it's busy here?" The others waved impatiently.

The little Er's face turned cold: "Don't stand here if you don't eat, it will block our family's business!"

Ningxi specially changed into new clothes today. She didn't listen to Meng Shuangshuang's suggestion to wear those fancy women's clothes. Instead, she wore clean and neat men's clothes, and her hair was also combed into a man's style. The shape is thin, but people can see at a glance that it is a young girl.

When she first came out, others thought it was a child or relative of the restaurant owner, who came to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, the gongs and drums became more lively. Ningxi greeted people and lit firecrackers, and the entire restaurant immediately The door is full of fire!

When the smoke dissipated, Ning Xi stretched out his hand and pulled, the red silk cloth floated to the ground, and the three big characters "Shuangxi Tower" were lit up. Ningxi's Shuangxi Lou is open today, please take care of you in the future! Within three days of the restaurant's opening, all guests who come to our restaurant will receive free tea, 20% discount on all dishes, and a complimentary plate of our special appetizers. , you are welcome to come in and have a taste!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the gongs and drums that had stopped, and the lion dance team danced more vigorously, some people started to talk: "This little girl is the head of Sungai Tower? Isn't it a joke?"

"You don't care if she's joking, just have something delicious, you haven't tried the craftsmanship of Sungai Lau, right? I tell you, I'll eat here before the new building is built a few days ago. After that, don’t say it, the taste is different, especially the meat dishes, there is no other restaurant in Beijing that can do better than here.”

"Really or not? Could it be better than Quan Jufu?"

"You're so ignorant, aren't you? It turns out that all the chefs from Quanjufu are here now as chefs. If you don't believe me, you can go in and take a look later. The famous brand is all hanging on the wall!"
