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

Chapter 396 Hot spring bath

Qi Ning'an didn't know if it was because he had been hungry for a long time, or because the original flavor was really good. He had eaten too much greasy food at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago. In fact, every time he ate this, he just felt that his whole body was comfortable and relaxed.

Everyone in the restaurant praised the food and ate a lot of it.

The chefs in the village were very satisfied. This was the highest sense of accomplishment for a chef.

"If you like it, I will prepare it for every meal from now on. Is there anything else you particularly like? Let's go shopping in Kyoto tomorrow."

Qi Ning'an said quickly, "Don't buy too expensive ingredients. We are not used to eating them. Normal home-cooked meals are delicious. We have disturbed your peaceful life in the hot spring villa these few days."

The cook's hands were shaking like rattles. This was originally the property of the Marquis' Mansion, so there was no right for him to disturb the master when he came.

Qi Ning'an didn't think too much about it. He had just finished his meal and it wasn't appropriate for him to go directly to the hot spring. He simply rested for a while and walked around the manor.

Suddenly, a small figure ran from one end of the garden to the other, as if chasing something.

The nanny saw Qi Ning'an paying attention to the body and quickly explained, "This is Li Nu, a little girl who has been very agile since she was young, but she can't speak. The Marquis brought her to the farm a few years ago, saying that she looked pitiful and was performing on the street. So he simply brought her to the farm to raise her. As long as she is not short of food and drink, she will be fine."

Qi Ning'an's eyes lit up. There was actually such an "expert". "Then how do you feed her on weekdays?"

Qi Ning'an asked Aunt Liu while looking at the yard.

"There are many animals behind the manor, such as lions and tigers. The Marquis likes them. Those animals are very strange and never hurt Li Nu. Li Nu feeds them every day and they go to the dining hall to eat after feeding. Don't worry about her. The little girl has lived a comfortable life in the past few years."

The nanny's face was full of smiles, and it was obvious that she liked Li Nu very much. Seeing that Qi Ning'an was interested, she also introduced some of Li Nu's daily life to Qi Ning'an.

After the food was almost digested, Qi Ning'an took everyone to the hot springs.

The hot spring has been renovated. Although the three middle pools are relatively close to each other, they are separated by separate rooms, and there are even jade tiles in the pools.

Since the Dayan Dynasty had not yet invented swimsuits, they chose to separate men and women.

The men were in the pool closest to the outside, and the girls went to the pool that Aunt Liu said was the most comfortable.

After entering the house, everyone was enveloped by waves of hot air. Qi Ning'an was originally worried that the pool was too small and not enough for so many people to soak in.

After all, when they were about to come in, Nanny Liu was shocked to see so many people getting into one pool.

Later, Jin Bao said, "Madame Liu thinks that the young lady is of noble status and should soak in a pool by herself."

Qi Ning'an looked at this huge pool. If it were placed in modern times, it could be used as a swimming pool. Is it possible to soak in such a big pool by yourself?

But thinking that this was ancient times, he could only nod and said, "I'm just afraid of being alone, so I asked you all to come and keep me company."

After Qi Ning'an and Jin Bao finished talking, they saw that everyone was standing by the pool and didn't move, so they asked in confusion, "Why don't you go in the water?"

Everyone looked at each other and stammered.

"This... young lady, it's embarrassing to be here with so many people..."

Finally, Qiufen said it out after being encouraged by the eyes of several little girls.

Qi Ningan...??? I forgot about this matter.

"Everyone goes into the water wearing their underwear, so it won't be embarrassing, and no one can see each other in the water."

After saying that, she took off her coat and went into the water. Seeing the young lady going into the water like this, everyone didn't think too much about it and went in with her.

After entering the hot spring, many people exclaimed in admiration. Amidst the mist, everyone's body and mind were relaxed.

The warm spring water wrapped around my body, removing all the fatigue from the past period of time.

"My dear, this is so comfortable."

Compared to the energetic voice just now, the current Autumnal Equinox has become much softer, perhaps it’s an illusion.

"It's really comfortable. It seems like I've never been to such a comfortable place."

Many little girls sighed.

Everyone started chatting with each other, ranging from daily life to various gossips.

"Qiufen, when are you planning to marry Brother Yiyi?" Yu Shui couldn't help teasing Qiufen.

Qiufen's cheeks were already a little red from the hot spring, and now they were even redder.

"What are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense, or I'll tell the young lady that you...are in love!"

The room, which was originally noisy, suddenly became noisy because of these words, and everyone was looking at the Autumnal Equinox and the rain.

Yu Shui was extremely shy, "What did Sister Qiufen say? Ouch..."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw how shy these two were.

Nowadays, there is a wedding appointment on the Autumnal Equinox in restaurants, and everyone can't help but ask if there is anything going on in their daily lives.

Qi Ning'an looked at the group of little girls in front of him. When they were bought, some were thirteen or fourteen years old, and some were fourteen or fifteen years old. In fact, if it were in ancient times, they would have been old enough to get married.

Although Qi Ning'an also felt that they were still young, what if they didn't want to get married late? So he still asked, "Now that we're talking about this, does anyone of you have a favorite man? I can go and propose marriage for you. Don't worry, the little girl in my restaurant will definitely have a glorious marriage."

Everyone was blushing at the young lady's sudden matchmaker mentality, and the girls who were already a little shy in the hot spring were now even shyer.

Only Qi Tao and Chunfen, who were slightly older, sat calmly on the side.

Qi Tao felt that he didn't want to get married, and there was nothing wrong with following the young lady for the rest of his life.

During the Spring Equinox, I think that making money is the truth, and getting married is just a passing fancy.

Some of the others were joking with each other, some were laughing, but no one answered Qi Ningan's question.

Qi Ning'an and the other two pricked up their ears to listen to their fight. It seemed that many people mentioned Brother Dahan. It seemed that Dahan was still very popular in the restaurant.

But Qi Ning'an didn't have the intention to force a match, and thought it was best to let nature take its course.

Fortunately, the little girl from the farm came in soon, bringing the food and drinks prepared by Qi Ning'an.

Everyone was attracted by this again. Soaking in a hot spring is very tiring, not to mention that everyone was playing and fighting in the hot spring. Only when they suddenly stopped did they feel weak all over.

The little girl in the farm put the things aside, lowered her head and walked out again, without affecting anyone at all.

Even Qi Ning'an thought this was too professional, but soon his attention was attracted by the milk.
