Natsuki and Tachibana Aya played together for a long time. They played for an unknown number of rounds. They were playing for an unknown number of rounds when the door of the room was opened again. Natsuki looked back and said, first
The one who walked in was Xia Meng, who was empty-handed. Xia Zhi was about to invite her to come over and sit here, but he saw Ryoko Yamamoto behind her.
"Clear the table, it's time to eat."
"What? So early?" Xia Zhi was surprised, but Yamamoto Ryoko rolled her eyes at him.
"It's still early. Do you know what time it is?"
After hearing this, Xia Zhi touched his phone. Before he touched it, Xia Meng had already given the answer: "It will be seven o'clock in about five minutes."
"It's about time..."
"Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry." Tachibana Aya touched her stomach, and Xia Zhi looked at her with a puzzled look.
"You've eaten the most this afternoon. I'm not hungry yet. Why are you so hungry?"
"Maybe it's because my body consumes more energy. Having good talent is also a worry." Tachibana Aya said with a smile. After a brief silence, Yamamoto Ryoko shouted: "Natsuchi, hurry up, I'm going to be hungry."
Dead."
Xia Meng came to the table and silently helped Xia Zhi clean up the unfinished mess. Although Xia Zhi didn't particularly care about it, he felt that Xia Meng would rush over to help.
It was a bit strange to clear the table by himself. But Xia Zhi didn't dare to ask what the specific reason was. He had a hunch that as long as he said a word of his doubts, he would definitely not feel very good in the next few days.
Not to mention, sometimes the things you take for granted are not as accurate as your own unfounded hunches.
After sorting out the cards on the table for a while, they quickly finished it. After all, it’s not a board game that requires a lot of time to sort out. Yamamoto Ryoko put the food she was carrying on the table, and that was all. Xia Zhi looked around.
I looked around, but I didn’t see the chef Shiraishi Reika.
"Where's Lihua?"
"Oh." Yamamoto Ryoko blinked: "There are still a lot of dishes to be moved in the kitchen, I forgot."
Xia Zhi was almost speechless. Seeing Yamamoto Ryoko getting ready to stand up again, Xia Zhi stood up first: "Forget it, you rest here, I'll get it."
"The restaurant is located as soon as you exit the corridor and walk to the left. It's next to the restaurant."
"knew."
Natsuki nodded, walked out of the room, followed the route Yamamoto Ryoko said, and soon found the kitchen. He walked over, and just as he was about to open the door, he heard the roar of fire in the kitchen.
sound.
It is already around seven o'clock in the evening. Although it is no longer the peak period for dinner, the kitchen does not seem to have calmed down. Xia Zhi is a little hesitant to open the door. The more high-end service industry
The more you pay attention to food hygiene and safety, you will be scolded if you just enter the kitchen casually.
"What's the matter, Master Xia Zhi?" The voice from the side startled Xia Zhi, who took two steps back nervously: "I, I haven't gone in yet!"
After Xia Zhi calmed down, he saw that the person talking to him was Manager Imaizumi. He was still the same as before, with a slightly cold expression that seemed to have a shadow on it, which was similar to Xia Meng.
"Are you here to see the eldest lady?" Manager Imaizumi made a reasonable guess based on what Xia Zhi said: "The eldest lady is inside, just come in."
"It's not a good idea to just enter the kitchen..."
"It's now past the meal peak. The kitchen will temporarily stop serving food. The activities inside now are just regular cleaning. There is always simple cleaning after breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you go in now, there will be no cleaning.
What's the matter?" Manager Imaizumi patiently explained to Xia Zhi, and he stood directly at the door of the kitchen, gently pushed the door open and walked in. Xia Zhi blinked and followed suit.
.
Indeed, what Manager Izumi said, although this kitchen is not particularly big, it looks neatly arranged, neither crowded nor messy. One row to another is like copying and pasting.
They looked exactly the same. There were many people walking around in the kitchen, seemingly cleaning the kitchen. When Manager Imaizumi and Xia Zhi walked in, they naturally caught the attention of the staff in the kitchen, which made Xia Zhi temporarily confused.
Sometimes I don't know what to do.
"Continue." Manager Imaizumi waved his hand and asked the staff to continue working, and then looked at Xia Zhi: "Xia Zhi, the eldest lady is here."
Natsuki looked along the direction pointed by Manager Imaizumi's gesture. After a moment of confusion, he realized that Shiraishi Rika was also wearing a white chef's outfit, wearing a hat that was almost the symbol of a chef, and was still busy on a separate stage.
Xia Zhi was about to walk over when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Manager Imaizumi: "Well, Manager Imaizumi..."
"Just call me Imaizumi."
"No, no, no, I'd better call you Manager Imaizumi. It would be too rude to call you by your first name." Xia Zhi shook his head: "I'm not a distinguished person. I just have a good relationship with Li... your eldest lady.
I'm just a classmate, so you don't need to be so respectful to me, just call me by my name. Sir Xia Zhi... let's forget it, it always sounds a little weird." Xia Zhi scratched his head.
"If you hope so." Manager Imaizumi nodded: "Then, Xia Zhijun, is this okay?"
"...It's okay." Suddenly it became very routine again, but it was much better than Mr. Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi nodded to Manager Imaizumi: "Then I'll excuse you first."
After saying that, Natsuki walked towards where Rika Shiraishi was. Manager Imaizumi quietly took out a small notebook and started writing in it, not knowing what he was writing.
"Lihua." Xia Zhi and Shiraishi Lihua said hello in advance to avoid scaring her.
"Why are Xia Zhijun here? Have Liangzi and Mengmeng passed by?" Baishi Lihua asked, Xia Zhi nodded: "We are all here, Liangzi has already sat down over there."
"Sit down... I obviously asked her to put down the food and come back to get it."
"Come on, I've been playing board games with Tachibana in the room for a long time. My legs are sore and I just want to do some exercise."
