"Tofu carving..."Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest"! Ah, so amazing..."
"Yes, this is my first time to see such fine carvings of tofu, it's just like the real thing."
"It's really breathtaking..."
In the back kitchen of SHINO'S Tokyo branch, when everyone saw the knife work presented by Liu Pleiades, they were all surprised and did not hesitate to express their admiration.
Gao Wei's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Pleiades in front of him in disbelief. He thought it was a small fish jumping out of nowhere, but now it looked like a prehistoric giant shark. How could it be possible with such knife skills?
He was an unknown person. Thinking of this, Gao Wei glanced at Liu Pleiaxing angrily and said coquettishly:
"Little brother, are you teasing your sister on purpose?"
Hearing this, Liu Pleiax smiled slightly, showing a confused and innocent look. Gao Wei was furious when he saw it, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only purse his lips and sulk at himself.
"Excuse me, is my knife skills qualified?"
Gao Wei couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard Liu Pleiaxing's question about being obedient when he got an advantage, and muttered, if a swordsman like you is not qualified, then are there any qualified swordsman masters in Neon?
But all this was not something she could decide. Gao Wei glanced at Shinomiya Kojiro calmly, wanting to see what his decision was, whether to go or stay.
However, Gao Wei was destined to be disappointed. Shinomiya Kojiro was staring at the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" on the cooking table. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice Gao Wei's questioning eyes.
Gao Wei couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. It was really hard for her to make a decision now. After seeing Liu Pleiades' knife skills, Gao Wei was already very fond of the young man in front of her. For no other reason than Liu Pleiades' amazing skills.
His knife skills are enough to stand out among the others in Tokyo.
Although Liu Pleiades knew nothing about French cuisine or Western catering, it was nothing to Gao Wei. With the manpower urgently dispatched from the Paris headquarter, there was no shortage of anything except chefs who were good at French cuisine.
For example, Rushi and Abel are the best among them. If Abel's cooking skills had not been recognized by Shinomiya Kojiro, he would not have been transferred to the Tokyo branch by Shinomiya as the chief chef.
In other words, they do not lack French chefs, but they are eager for other positions in the kitchen, such as pastry chefs and knife technicians who are eye-catching at the sight.
Therefore, Gao Wei is very fond of Liu Pleiades now, but now Shinomiya Kojiro does not have a clear attitude, so Gao Wei cannot overstep his authority and make decisions for Shinomiya without permission.
"Well, little brother..."
Just when Gao Wei was about to comfort Liu Subaru with a few words, Shinomiya Kojiro's deep voice came to his ears, saying:
"Gao Wei, take him to the employee lounge!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the expressionless Shinomiya Kojiro with some astonishment, and began to feel a little stunned. Even if this was passed, they really wanted a young man who knew nothing about French cuisine to join SHINO'S. This is the only one in Paris.
At a famous French restaurant that had rejected countless dishes, several people couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity. They opened their mouths to say something, but when they saw Liu Pleiades' lifelike knife work on the cooking table, they couldn't even say a word.
I can't speak.
"Okay... okay, little brother, come with me!"
Gao Wei's voice stuttered a bit, but it quickly returned to normal, and then he greeted Liu Pleiaxing to the employee lounge.
After the two of them left, Liu Shi, a lively girl with short blue hair, suddenly walked up to Liu Pleiax's "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" and observed them carefully, and couldn't help but let out a tut-tsk-tsk sound of admiration.
"That kid's knife skills are really good. Both his charm and expression are extremely expressive. It's almost like he's alive!"
Speaking of this, Liu Shi couldn't help but raise a smirk at the corner of her mouth, raised her eyes slightly, and chuckled:
“I just don’t know if the head chef of our branch can do such knife skills!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Abel's face couldn't help but turn red, he folded his hands on his chest, raised his head proudly and said:
"I am an orthodox French cook, this is not my job!"
Although he said that, the slightly twitching corners of his eyes fully exposed his guilty conscience, and Liu Shi revealed it unceremoniously:
"Hmph, I think you can't do it at all, you can only tell lies!"
When Abel heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted:
"What, I just. I just..."
But the rest of the words couldn't be said, and Liu Shi took advantage of the victory and pursued:
"It's just, it's just something, I can't say it, haha~"
"you……"
Abel was so excited by this shrewd girl that he choked on his words. Such a grown man was almost made angry by a girl. Soma Yukihira, who was watching on the side, was speechless for a while, and his image of an elite cook in his impression was greatly reduced.
.
"Okay, Liu Shi, stop bullying Abel..."
In the end, it was Shinomiya Kojiro who spoke up to stop the aggressive Rushi. Abel, who was watching on the side, burst into tears and was very moved. He was indeed the chef he admired most.
However, Shinomiya didn't have time to flirt with a tearful grown man. He only saw him staring blankly at the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" on the cooking table, and suddenly sighed leisurely and said:
"Lushi, actually it's not just Abel, even I have a hard time achieving that kid's knife skills..."
"What!!"
This really shocked the other three people in the kitchen. They never dreamed that these words would actually come from Shinomiya Kojiro's mouth. Seeing this, everyone looked at the door where Liu Subaru left and could not speak for a long time.
On the other side, Liu Pleiades followed Gao Wei to what they called the employee lounge. It was called a lounge, but it was actually just a small single room. There were two small couches in it, and a suitcase had been placed on one of them. It was obvious that someone was already there.
Seeing this, Liu Pleiades couldn't help but look back at Gao Wei, who also spread his hands and said helplessly:
"I can't help it. The chef spent all the budget on opening a new store, and we all have a place to live in Tokyo, so I can only wrong you. By the way, there is also a guy named Yukihira Souma who will work with you tonight.
I have a companion, that red-haired boy, so you don’t have to worry about being alone at night, little brother!”
Liu Pleiax just pretended not to hear the last sentence. After putting away his luggage, he followed Gao Wei to the hall. He saw Abel and Liu Shi sitting at the dining table, waiting expectantly for something. Gao Weiwei asked, so it was
Sigong personally prepared lunch for the staff. Gao Wei's eyes instantly lit up with joy on his face, and he said to Liu Pleiades:
"Chef Shinomiya seldom cooks, newcomer, you are in luck!"
"Oh, really, then I'm really lucky!"
Liu Pleiades smiled slightly, he was always willing to accept delicious food!
