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

Chapter 272 Fragrant Fruit Lotus Fish

Gu Qingyun thought that Qitao and Anqiao were probably in the backyard, so he didn't really dare to go in.

Coincidentally, Qi Tao was standing in the front yard at this moment, seemingly waiting to get something.

As soon as Gu Qingyun stepped into the door, Qi Tao saw him. The little girl was stunned at first, then saw the marquis next to her, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a bright smile, and then bowed.

She looked very dignified and calm, as if what happened in the morning had never happened.

The Marquis curled his lips and whispered in Gu Qingyun's ear in an inaudible voice, "Some people are waiting at the door day and night, worrying that something might go wrong. Some people are respectable and don't care at all."

Gu Qingyun's face instantly turned red. He wanted to say something, but he had to admit that his master was right. But at this moment, he seemed to be about to explode.

The Marquis smiled in a simple and cute way, as if he didn't know that he had just hurt Gu Qingyun's heart.

Walk forward and wave to Qiufen, "Qiufen~ little girl~ come here~"

Qiufen was also very familiar with this marquis, and she came with a bright smile. Sometimes she even thought that he was just a kind uncle, so much so that she forgot his identity.

"Here you are, uncle. You can come here today since you are free. I thought you would come on the day of the Lotus Banquet, but you never came despite my long wait." Qiufen's bright smile made people feel extremely comfortable and happy.

"That day, there were too many young people, so I was embarrassed to come. Besides, if I came, I wouldn't be able to play those little games. When I saw there was a garden party, poetry appreciation, or lotus viewing, I didn't want to come. I don't want to join in the fun of these young people. Today I finally have some free time, so I came to catch some lotus fish to eat." The Marquis was not at all arrogant and handed the fish in his hand to Qiufen in a relaxed manner.

Qiufen took the fish and greeted Gu Qingyun.

"I wonder how you two plan to eat this fish? Fry, boil, deep-fry, grill... the ladies in our restaurant are very good at cooking." This is a routine matter. No matter who comes, they are used to introducing the store's skilled chefs.

The Marquis was amused by the words that kept coming out of her mouth while she was counting the fish and recording them. She was just reciting a line of dialogue.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I don't know about other things, but let's have a hot pot, with that sweet and sour fruit... passion fruit! Use that to cook a big fish, and then take down the hot pot order, I'll order some vegetarian dishes." He nudged Gu Qingyun with his elbow, "What about you, what do you want to eat, don't just stand there."

Gu Qingyun suddenly became a taciturn, introverted and shy person.

Otherwise, the Marquis would not be used to it, and even Qiufen was a little confused. He bent his head slightly to look at Gu Qingyun with an inquiring look, "The weather is dry, Mr. Gu should pay attention to eating more fruits, drinking more water, and keeping warm. This is how my young lady got sick, and Mr. Gu might also have a sore throat."

Only Qitao and Anqiao knew what happened in the morning, and Qiufen's words inadvertently dealt Gu Qingyun another heavy blow.

"I'm fine." Gu Qingyun said these three words dryly, and then Qiufen was stunned. He was fine, but his voice was so hoarse.

"I'll give you two a pot of lotus leaf tea in a moment. It can reduce internal heat." Qiufen rambled on and on, and then added, "If you don't know what to eat, we can decide for ourselves. But if you have a sore throat, don't eat roasted food for the time being. If you eat it, it might make you more internally irritated, which would be bad."

Qiufen looked at the two of them steadily, and the Marquis nodded quickly, "Yes, this kid has a fever, we can't let him eat spicy food anymore."

Qiufen nodded and said seriously, "Yes, yes, it's terrible to be sick. It's better to eat less."

Although Gu Qingyun didn't say anything, his teeth were almost broken. What was going on?

After sitting down, the Marquis laughed again, "Xu Banshan's storytelling is quite pleasant to listen to. It's almost his turn. You should be patient for a while, so that you don't have any random thoughts here."

Gu Qingyun didn't say anything. Xu Banshan, how could he not know that Xu Banshan's storytelling was good? This little old man was so annoying!!!

Soon the passion fruit stewed lotus fish was served. As requested, a batch of vegetarian dishes for the hot pot were also served, and the passion fruit lotus fish soup base was ready.

The Marquis first scooped up a large bowl of soup, "This passion fruit is sour and sweet, it can relieve the heat, you should have some."

The Marquis likes passion fruit. Ever since he first ate it, he thought it was so delicious that he couldn't help eating it again and again.

This was his first time eating passion fruit cooked into hot pot, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Gu Qingyun also started to eat. He had not eaten breakfast or lunch, and now it was almost time for dinner. When he smelled the fragrance from the restaurant, he really couldn't help himself.

The Marquis took a sip of the soup and nodded contentedly. This thing tastes so good even when cooked.

He quickly picked up a piece of fish fillet. Fish fillets cannot be cooked for too long, otherwise they will either melt or be overcooked.

"The tender fish fillet paired with the passion fruit soup is absolutely amazing." The Marquis praised, saying that the texture melts in the mouth without any fishy smell at all, which is really the finishing touch.

Although the restaurant had made similar passion fruit soup base before, the Marquis loved it so much when he ate it for the first time. He wanted to eat the whole pot, not to mention that after adding the bok choy and tofu, he was even more satisfied.

Gu Qingyun also buried his head in his food. He was glad that his master's mouth was blocked by the food, otherwise he didn't know how many more words he would say to make him feel upset.

The two of them ate a lot, and as expected, after the meal, the depressed mood in their hearts was much lessened.

As they were leaving the restaurant, the Marquis couldn't help but sigh, "If my little girl hadn't been lost, she would have been eighteen years old this year, a grown-up girl."

Gu Qingyun's eyes twitched. The master seldom mentioned his lost little daughter, probably because his wife passed away not long after the little daughter was lost. From then on, he and his son had to depend on each other.

Gu Qingyun rarely mentioned his master's wife or his little daughter who was lost before she was a year old. Although they usually quarreled, he didn't want to make his master really sad.

"Master...is it me today..." Today I mentioned An Qiao's life experience, which made you feel the same way.

The Marquis waved his hand nonchalantly, "Nothing, go home quickly."

Gu Qingyun was worried and kept looking back, and finally sent the Marquis back to the Marquis' Mansion before leaving.

In the deep night, two people sighed at the same time in different places.

After nearly fifteen years, the Marquis finally reopened the tightly closed door... that special door in the Marquis' Mansion that no one dared to enter.
