Chapter 66 Milk Tea Shop Opening
Chapter 66 Milk Tea Shop Opening
After much thought, Gu Qingyun decided not to make a big deal about this matter for the time being.
If there really is such a list, it must be checked privately before telling His Majesty. If there is no list, then it would be unnecessary to come to the palace to meet Him at this moment.
Gu Qingyun knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. Even if the emperor trusted him now, he could not withstand the repeated provocations.
After much deliberation, he decided to go home and ask his grandmother to take Xiaoya to a farm to raise her, and announce to others that she was his distant cousin.
Three days later.
Gu Qingyun got the list he wanted, and the contents inside opened his eyes. It almost covered most of the court, but he could clearly see that some people only went there once or twice, while others came and went frequently.
Gu Qingyun knew what was going on, so he carefully hid the list and didn't tell anyone.
Master Luochuan’s wish was also fulfilled.
Just like that, one morning during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master Luochuan and his second brother left forever.
The matter finally came to an end.
Meanwhile, An Qiao has been working day and night to make a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes. Tomorrow is the day for the milk tea shop to open, so there is still a lot to do.
Prepare gifts and gift boxes.
When I get busy, there is no day or night.
It was already late at night when we finished making the last set of gift boxes.
Gu Qingyun couldn't fall asleep lying in bed, so he went to the backyard of Kyoto Restaurant in the middle of the night. Seeing that the lights were still on in front, he was happy and walked directly from the backyard to the front yard.
The two little mastiffs were not familiar with Gu Qingyun yet, and they barked at him with their teeth bared.
An Qiao frowned, and saw Gu Qingyun standing at the door with an embarrassed look on his face, "Brother, I'm open all day, can't you come in through the front door?"
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, sorry." Gu Qingyun was rarely at a loss.
After An Qiao calmed the two little kids down, she asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Gu Qingyun took a look and said, "I'll eat whatever you cook."
An Qiao took a look at the remaining ingredients and immediately made a decision. She would have a dry pot vegetarian dish, a basket of steamed dumplings, and a plate of crab fried rice cake, and her midnight snack would be complete.
Gu Qingyun had never eaten dry pot vegetarian dishes, so he was somewhat looking forward to it.
Directly and skillfully pour the cabbage, tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, day lily, lotus root slices, potato slices, and shiitake mushrooms into the pot where the base ingredients have been stir-fried.
Let them all be dipped in red oil, fried until tasty and fragrant, and then served on a plate.
The dumplings were steamed in the afternoon. The crab roe in today's portion was particularly good, so An Qiao made some crab roe dumplings.
As soon as it’s steamed, the whole house is filled with the aroma of crab roe.
Then we started making crab fried rice cake.
This afternoon, I washed the crabs, cut them into pieces, coated them with corn starch, and fried them in a pan until they turned golden brown. Then I took out all the crabs, added the rice cakes, fried them for a while, and took them out.
Pour chopped green onion, ginger and garlic into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the homemade bean paste and put in half of the hot pot base left over from stir-frying the pot just now.
After the red oil is fried, pour in the crabs and rice cakes.
Stir-fry evenly, add a little bit of wine, salt, light soy sauce, and sugar, then pour in half a bowl of water, wait for the water to boil, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions and it is ready to serve.
When the crab fried rice cake was served, it was shining with golden light and the fragrance filled the whole room. Even the other diners couldn't help but look back frequently.
Today we have the best crabs, in addition to this dish we also have steamed ones. The customer who just exclaimed that the steamed crabs were so delicious, touched his bulging belly, and vowed to come back to eat crabs at Kyoto Restaurant a few more times this fall.
Gu Qingyun couldn't help but have his eyes sparkle.
In fact, he did have dinner tonight, probably because although the case had been closed, he still felt a little weighed down on his mind.
Seeing such a large table of food, he felt so hungry that he didn't have time to argue with An Qiao and just buried his head in eating.
An Qiao just found it a little funny, "Is it so delicious?"
Gu Qingyun ignored him and just nodded. Although he ate very quickly, he still maintained the elegance of a rich young man.
An Qiao found it even funnier.
I sat down and drank the Cordyceps soup that I had stewed in the afternoon.
Autumn is coming soon. After the milk tea shop is busy, I will go to customize a batch of tables. It will be a pleasure to stay in the store and eat hot pot.
Today's tables are too limited and it seems impossible to cook hot pot.
It was almost dawn, and Qitao and Shuanzi, who had already had a nap, came to take over.
An Qiao rubbed her eyes and stood up. "There won't be too many people in the second half of the night. You can take turns to sleep for a while. There are Wangcai and Laifu in the store now, so don't be too nervous."
Wangcai and Laifu are the names of the two mastiffs.
The two nodded, walked skillfully behind the counter and started working.
It has been like this during these days, Anqiao is responsible for the first half of the night, and they are responsible for the second half.
"Qitao, how can I live without you? I'm begging for mercy." An Qiao was nervous. After drinking the last sip, he put the bowl in the backyard and went to sleep.
By the time Gu Qingming finished eating, An Qiao was gone.
"Where is your wife?" Gu Qingyun asked.
"He went back to sleep a long time ago. Young master was so engrossed in eating crabs that it's normal that he didn't notice it." Shuanzi replied.
Gu Qingyun frowned, "Why do you go to bed so early nowadays?"
"Tomorrow is the opening day of Kyoto Milk Tea Shop, and you have to go and open the door." Qi Tao replied with a smile.
Gu Qingyun finally relaxed his frown and let An Qiao go. She went to sleep without saying hello to him, huh.
The next morning.
An Qiao dragged Jinli and the two little girls in the store to the Kyoto milk tea shop. Yu Dong had been learning in the grocery store for a few months, so this time the milk tea shop was handed over to Yu Dong.
Looking at the renovated store, An Qiao said to the two girls, "From now on, the job of making milk tea here will be handed over to you two. There is a small yard behind the store that is big enough for you two to live in."
The two little girls nodded hurriedly, "Okay, little ladies."
These two little girls have learned how to make drinks in Kyoto restaurants for a long time, so there will be no mistakes if we leave it to them.
With Yu Dong managing the accounts, everything went smoothly.
It was just daybreak when Yu Dong arrived at the entrance of Xindian.
An Qiao ordered a not-so-big firecracker. Kyoto Milk Tea Shop is one of the shops with the best location, being directly on the main street, without having to go around in circles.
It fits the positioning of a milk tea shop very well. Opposite it is a medium-sized academy, and there are many bookstores nearby.
Depending on everyone's interests, after buying a book, they would probably find a place to sit down and read it, or invite three or five friends to have a drink after school.
Anqiao is confident that this store will do well.
He invited a few people into the store, and all the signature tableware was ready, just waiting for customers to come.
An Qiao didn't have breakfast so she made herself a cup of ordinary plain milk tea.
This was the good thing in ancient times. Even the freshly made milk tea was pure, fragrant and rich, without any additives.
