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

Chapter 386 Don’t Eat Meat, Absolutely Don’t Eat Meat

Many young ladies from poor families would make their own pearl flowers and wear them on their heads. They might not be exquisite, but they were more thoughtful and not in the same old style.

But the craftsmanship in the palace is naturally much better than that outside.

Qi Ning'an was very excited and felt very happy at the same time. It was really great to be remembered by such a well-dressed and powerful old lady.

Everyone quickly returned to the restaurant, and Master Daoqing hurried inside as soon as he reached the door.

This is a fragrance I haven't smelled for a long time, and Princess Zhaoping said that I can eat it however I want.

When Qi Ning'an got off the car, he looked at Master Daoqing, who had almost run out of sight, with a look of shock on his face, and clapped his hands solemnly.

"Master, this looks like it has been practiced."

Jin Xi was suddenly provoked by her cold joke, and looked at Qi Ning'an with a chuckle, "Miss, you really know how to say such weird things."

Qi Ning'an then told Jin Xi, "I can get the carriage and other things by myself, so don't wait on me. Go in quickly and tell Qiufen, or else he will think some weirdo has come."

Only then did Jin Xi realize that no one in the restaurant knew Master Daoqing. He no longer cared about Qi Ningan and hurried inside.

But at this time, Master Daoqing had already started "debating" with the Autumnal Equinox.

"Master, are you here to beg for alms?"

"I'm not here to beg for alms. Your boss lady, the lady in charge, asked me to have dinner."

Autumnal Equinox: Ever since the young lady became the daughter of the Marquis's mansion, there have been more beggars like this, and some are even not beggars but pretend to be beggars, specifically to beg for food. If they were really poor, it would be fine, but there are indeed many people who are unwilling to eat even though they are paid.

"If you are begging for alms, Master, please wait a moment. I will go get you something to eat. I think you are a Buddhist. I will prepare some vegetarian dishes for you. I guarantee that they will not contain oil."

Daoqing: What do you mean by vegetarian dishes that don’t use a drop of oil? Can people eat them?

"Um... I was really sent by your young lady. If you don't believe me, go and ask."

Master Daoqing has a simple mind. He wants to eat good food, but he cannot say it himself.

After all, he is a monk.

Autumnal Equinox... Where on earth did such a strange person come from? My dear, didn't you go to the palace today? How could you bring back such a strange person!?

The two sides were deadlocked, staring at each other in amazement.

Jin Xi ran back in a hurry, gasping for breath and said, "Um... Master Daoqing, you are running too fast. I can't catch up with you."

Qiufen was just thinking about finding Dahan to take this "crazy monk" outside, but it was almost time for dinner, and he didn't know what to do if he continued to act so crazy, so it would be better to take him to the yard now.

During the Dayan Dynasty, he loved Buddhism.

Qiufen didn't want to chase him away, but just wanted to take him outside, to a private room, and prepare some vegetarian food so that he could have a full meal.

But before she could go back to find Dahan, she saw Jinxi coming in anxiously.

"Sister Jin Xi, is this really the person the young lady brought back?"

Jin Xi was still a little out of breath. While catching his breath, he said, "This is Master Daoqing, who was introduced to you by the Empress Dowager. You want to build a temple, and this master will be the abbot in the future."

Qiufen looked at Master Daoqing uncertainly, and then said, "Master, please sit here. I will prepare it for you. I wonder what kind of vegetarian food Master likes to eat?"

In fact, Kyoto restaurants occasionally make some vegetarian dishes, but it seems that not many people come, so they simply don’t make them very often later.

Master Daoqing coughed. His mind was still racing with thoughts about what to say when he saw Yushui passing by with a plate of roast chicken.

Master Daoqing's eyes immediately lit up, "I am a monk and I don't eat meat, but I can eat this dish."

Qiufen was about to explain that this was a meat dish when Qi Ning'an stood at the door. It turned out that this was what Chef Qing meant when he said he didn't eat meat.

Don’t eat meat that you know is meat, but as long as you don’t know that the meat is meat, you can eat it.

"During the Autumnal Equinox, just make whatever Master Daoqing wants to eat."

Qiufen opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a monk.

Master Daoqing was very satisfied. He looked at Qi Ning'an approvingly and said, "I could tell you were extraordinary in front of the Empress Dowager. You are indeed smart."

Qi Ningan... You can say whatever you want, as long as you can exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, you are pretty powerful.

Soon, a table full of meat dishes was placed in front of Master Daoqing. That was basically enough for five people.

Chef Daoqing started stuffing food into his mouth starting with the first plate of roast chicken. Before the second dish came, only bones were left from the first plate.

Gradually, he slowly couldn't keep up with the pace in the kitchen.

"County Lady, the food in your restaurant is so delicious. Didn't I just promise you that I would be your abbot? As long as I am here, you can hold any garden party or secret room party."

Daoqing was sucking on the chicken feet. Qi Ning'an was not in a hurry. He waited for him to continue, and then he heard him say, "But about the food, I don't care about the other monks in the temple. They can eat whatever they like, but I want to eat from this restaurant."

After saying this, he was still afraid that Qi Ning'an would not agree, so he added, "I am always available, and I am the best at catching ghosts and protecting houses."

Qi Ning'an smiled and said, "How difficult is this? I promise you."

Master Daoqing looked very satisfied. In fact, Qi Ning'an was not at a loss either. She had many fantasies about Huguang House that needed to be fulfilled, and now most of the other stores were on the right track.

She had two farms of her own, which were sufficient to supply vegetables, meat and grain, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

Moreover, the farm owned by the Imperial Master is indeed very good, with a high yield, and it is very close to Kyoto Prefecture.

This month, Tong Shan and Aunt Tong will move up. The farm over there has already established a fixed pattern, and everyone sees that they can make money by following Qi Ningan, so they don't have any bad intentions.

In addition, Qi Ning'an offers generous rewards, so you can basically go there every three to five days and add to the inventory in the Huancai Building.

As for the Lake House, Qi Ningan almost gave up on what she wanted to do several times. After all, in this era, there were many things she couldn't explain, nor could she make everyone see the fun in them.

In addition, many people may mind what happened inside, and high-ranking monks or monks preparing to practice will also care about whether it is a noisy environment.

It would be fine if people came here to burn incense, but there are also entertainment activities nearby, which is indeed not acceptable to everyone.

Master Daoqing and Huguang Residence can be said to complement each other.
