Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 47: Sharing a Bed - The Floor is Cold, Let's Sleep on the Bed.

Since the moment the customers entered the shop, Ji Wan'er had been observing from behind. She took the menu handed over by Ah Yuan and went to the kitchen.

The menu listed twenty complex dishes, none of which were as easy to prepare as shredded potatoes. To prevent customers from waiting too long, Ji Wan'er had prepared the initial steps an hour in advance, ready to start cooking as soon as the customers arrived.

Of course, she was also prepared for the possibility of no one ordering. On the first day of opening, she would rather have no orders than keep customers waiting for too long or risk being unable to deliver after they placed an order.

She started steaming the Steamed Pork with Rice Flour and began working on other dishes.

Although "Silken Tofu with Egg Flower" sounded artistic, it was actually made with tofu brain. This was something she was most familiar with. Shredded potatoes and eggplant were also easy to prepare. While she was working on two dishes, more orders came in from outside.

Ji Wan'er had someone deliver the first two dishes to the first table, and as she prepared the third dish, she also prepared the Mapo Tofu for the second table.

Since the Steamed Pork with Rice Flour had been prepared in advance, it took less than fifteen minutes to serve it. If it had been made from scratch, it would have taken at least half an hour.

After serving these two tables, Ji Wan'er went to the front to check.

The first dish served was the Spicy and Sour Shredded Potatoes. Although this dish was simple, it tested the culinary skills of the cook. Scholar Li didn't have high expectations for this small shop since the place was small and the prices were not expensive. However, he didn't expect the simple shredded potatoes to be so deliciously prepared.

The flavors were sour, spicy, and appetizing, and the shredded potatoes remained crispy, not soggy at all.

"The taste is excellent," Scholar Wang commented first.

Scholar Li nodded in agreement and said, "Not only excellent, but very excellent." With that, he took a few more bites.

Next, the Braised Eggplant was served.

Before even tasting it, the aroma alone made it seem extraordinary. Looking at the dish on the table, the eggplants were purple with some red chili peppers on top, along with green scallions as decoration. The colors were beautifully coordinated.

"It smells good, and it looks good too," Scholar Wang commented. After taking a bite, he added, "And it tastes delicious!"

To make home-style dishes taste this good showed the skill of the kitchen staff.

The Silken Tofu with Egg Flower was smooth and tender, with a rich chicken broth that had a layered and satisfying texture.

The last dish, the Steamed Pork with Rice Flour, was a masterpiece. It was fatty but not greasy, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

"Waiter!"

Ah Yuan hurried over and asked, "Yes, sir, what can I do for you?"

"Did you bring your chef from a renowned restaurant? Their culinary skills are truly exceptional," Scholar Li praised.

Ah Yuan smiled and replied, "Not really. Regardless of where they came from, as long as the food is delicious, that's all that matters, right?"

The master of the house was a female chef who didn't want to come out and meet the customers, so Ah Yuan didn't say much about her.
