Chapter 262 Huancai Tower was a great success on the first day
An Qiao even suspected that he had just walked out of a restaurant. Looking at the puzzled look on his face, she knew that he didn't quite understand.
"Haha, that's also because of your support."
The man walked into the store and looked around, "What should I buy for my wife? Does my lady have any recommendations?"
An Qiao was stunned. He got so drunk every day, yet he still had a wife.
"Here is the soap, which can be used to wash clothes, face, and hands. There are also fragrances and sachets that you can mix yourself. Over there is the hair and face oil. Over there is a place to rest. If you order food, someone will deliver it."
Despite this, An Qiao still introduced it patiently.
The man's face flushed. "Buy some soap and a bottle of facial oil for her. Maybe she won't blame me for not going home again."
An Qiao sighed for a while, but still packed the things for him.
"Slow down, guest."
"See you!"
Sure enough, no matter what era it is, these things between men and women are basically the same.
Everyone was busy and chattering for most of the day, and basically no matter which stall it was, the goods were reduced by half.
"I won't be here starting tomorrow. You guys send someone else to guard the soap stall." An Qiao watched as there were fewer and fewer people around, so she called people over.
"Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow." Qi Tao was really tired from all the moving today, but at least she looked like a store manager. Seeing how relaxed she was, An Qiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everyone has done a good job today. Let's close the restaurant and go back to eat."
Before this restaurant closed, the story of Ms. Shan had been circulating in the restaurant for most of the day.
Everyone's face was beaming with joy, and they were eager to answer whatever others asked, "How did you know that our young lady is now a concubine appointed by the Emperor himself?"
In addition, the new story told by Xu Banshan today made many people very excited.
It seems to be a story about an academy, with all the elements included, a fox spirit, a change of mind, and sometimes he is a child from a noble family and sometimes he is a child from a poor family.
In short, it was wonderful.
This story won a lot of praise in just half a day. Although it is not everywhere, many people are wondering whether this story has a prototype.
Could there really be such a terrifying teacher?
Xu Banshan didn't explain it clearly, but just said with a smile, "I'm just a storyteller."
What was said was none of his business, so he just ignored it and shrugged it off as if it was just a small story.
But precisely because of this understatement, many people thought it was a true story. When compared with the nearby academy, some people actually guessed what happened.
After all, it's not a secret. If a family has a child studying nearby, they can always guess something.
So, without the headmaster's knowledge, the situation had escalated.
They are like vines hidden in the dark, constantly advancing when people are unaware, trying to wrap people up tightly.
By the time people find out, it's already too late.
On Anqiao's side, Qi Tao and his companions packed up the shop and went home together.
"My dear, is there anything delicious today? I have received a reward from the emperor today, and I would be sorry if I don't eat it." Qi Tao fantasized about food. He was tired after a whole day, and he felt that even a bowl of plain noodles would be delicious.
"You are the only one who is greedy." An Qiao smiled helplessly. However, she was indeed tired today. After all, she was given the title of a lady, so she had to eat something good.
Inside the restaurant.
"What does the young lady like to eat?" Guyu asked worriedly.
On weekdays, they only care about eating and drinking. Everyone thinks whatever the young lady cooks is delicious, but no one knows what kind of flavor Anqiao prefers.
"The young lady must like sweets. Every time those sweets are ready, she is the first to eat them. And if she doesn't like sweets, how could she make so many delicious sweets?" Qiufen interrupted.
"I think you like sweets, but I think the young lady likes spicy food. You see, every time we cook rice noodles, the young lady likes to put some chili oil. Even the vinegar for dipping dumplings will have some chili oil in it." Lixia said firmly.
"Then why didn't you tell me that the young lady likes to eat pasta? Didn't the young lady make some pasta for herself before?" Qiufen said bluntly.
Everyone was talking at once, but in the end no conclusion was reached.
"I see that the young lady likes all kinds of food. As a cook, what flavor wouldn't she dislike?" Chunfen said silently.
"Then what should we cook today to celebrate for the young lady?" Lixia said worriedly. She didn't know how to cook before. She learned it after coming to Kyoto Restaurant. Now, it was a bit difficult for her to cook something.
After all, she even learned the recipe from the young lady herself.
"Usually, the young lady cooks for us and studies new dishes. Why don't we make some of our own specialties for her today?" Guyu suggested. She and Chunfen had both worked as cooks before, so there was nothing wrong with this suggestion.
"Yeah, I think it's okay." Chunfen agreed. She had many dishes that she was good at before, but she had never cooked them in any restaurant in Kyoto before.
Lixia and Lidong were a little worried. They were even taught by An Qiao how to cook, and there was really no dish that the young lady had not cooked.
"Alas, but Lidong and I have never cooked anything that the young lady has not eaten." Lixia frowned. Why did she feel a little stupid?
"That's okay. It's not that we have to cook something we've never eaten before. We can all cook our specialty and sit together at a table. When the young lady comes back, we'll celebrate for her." Guyu smiled happily and it seemed that he had already thought of what to do.
Lixia and Lidong could only nod their heads. There was nothing they could do as there were no new ideas. The most urgent thing was to make it quickly so that the young lady could have a hot meal when she came back.
Several people started to take action. While taking the orders in the front yard, they also prepared their own specialties and waited for the young lady to come back and cook.
For Grain Rain, I made steamed sea bass and pork with mashed garlic. For Spring Equinox, I chose ants climbing a tree and tofu soup. For Beginning of Summer, I planned to make braised chicken and vegetarian meatballs. For Beginning of Winter, I stewed a pot of pork tripe and chicken, and prepared a braised lion's head.
For the rest, I prepared a few cold dishes and some stir-fried vegetarian dishes.
All the side dishes are prepared and everything that needs to be cooked has been cooked.
As soon as An Qiao stepped into the restaurant, many people began to greet her.
"Meet the good lady!"
"Mrs. Shan has a title now. It really is true that good people are rewarded."
"Mrs. Shan, now that you're back, the food in the restaurant is getting better and better."
"Do I need to pay in advance for the Lotus Banquet after today? I will definitely come."
Everyone was talking at once, and in addition to respect, there was also an inexplicable sense of closeness in their tone.
