Three hours passed quickly. The three Shi Kes wiped the tables and chairs skillfully, set up the stove, and sent the guests to the door.
Shi Ke was yawning and washing vegetables in boredom. After yawning, he looked at the freshly washed Chinese cabbage in his hand and the washed carrots, tomatoes, onions and potatoes in the basin next to him, "Hehehe... It's really Indian stall style. Just missing the curry!!”
"Shike, come here!" Boss Fujiwara Bunta waved to Shike.
"Oh! Here we are. I've washed the dishes, boss." Shi Ke picked up the washed dishes and walked to the stove.
"Well, put it aside. Let me introduce my store to you. You can also take a bench and sit down." The boss dragged a bench and sat down with his legs crossed.
"Oh." Shi Ke came in with two benches and gave one to Sadatsuka Nao.
The boss lit up a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "My store has been open for...ten years! This store used to be opened in Tokyo. I moved here ten years ago."
"Aren't you stupid? Are you sick?" Shi Ke looked at the gaudy walls around him and didn't answer. He was complaining crazily in his heart.
"You must think that there is something wrong with my brain. Who would open a store in a place like this? Regarding this point, I can only say that this was not like this ten years ago. This place was extremely good ten years ago. It’s a place, and being able to open a store here basically symbolizes success.”
"Oh. Then why does it look like a ghost now?" Shi Ke pointed around.
"It's because of school."
"School? Don't tell me there is really a school for bad students near here."
"Yes. You guessed it right. However, there is one thing you guessed wrong. It's not one school, but two schools. Kondo High School and Yamamoto Mirai High School." Fujiwara Bunta raised two fingers.
"Repaying two families? Is the Education Bureau crazy? They are afraid that the number of people fighting will not be enough to kill anyone, right?" Shi Ke frowned.
"It's okay. Those who can study here have some background at home. No one will kill someone easily. The Japanese gang is legalized, you should know it. So, who are the people here? Reading, can you understand it?"
"Oh, that is to say, this is where the gang's young ladies and young masters gather."
"Yeah. That's it. So, over the past few years, the shops here have been forced to run away and close down due to various Bawang Meal protection fees. At present, including my shop, there are only five shops left in the whole street. The store is closed. Look, is it completely hopeless?" The boss said this and laughed to himself.
"Oh my god! I don't want to be expelled from school! I haven't taken a photo of Hiisako-chan yet!!" Sadatsuka Nao wailed, holding her head.
"Uh? What are you talking about taking pictures?!" Shi Ke was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked.
"Nothing!" Sadatsuka Nao blushed.
"Forget it, you can take pictures of whatever you like. This street won't be saved unless it's saved. However, it's a bit unrealistic to deal with all the gangs in seven days. It's not necessarily a case of retaliation if you accidentally injure the boss." Shi Ke touched his chin and thought for a while before saying.
"Don't think about it. It'll be good if you can go back safely. Don't try to create any gangster ideas. How will I explain to your school if I get injured all over?"
"No way. If you fool the two of us casually, we will be kicked out of school. So, if we want to pass the test, we have to deal with the gangsters. Fortunately, it is me who comes this time. If it had been anyone else, there would be no chance. Already." Shi Ke tilted his neck and made a clicking sound.
"Kid, don't think about such unrealistic things. I'm going to do it under the knife." Fujiwara Bunta said.
"That's a coincidence. As a chef, I am also good at playing with knives. Of course, if they pull out a gun, I will have no choice but to run away." Shi Ke pulled out the largest of the seven-star knives and placed it on the table.
superior.
"Your sword is quite big!" Fujiwara Bunta had only now noticed how unusual the guy Shi Ke was leading was.
Look at the black iron rod, which is thick and long, and look at the seven knives, which are shiny and shiny!
"Yeah. Not bad. However, I'm not good at killing people, but if I'm in a hurry, who knows?" Shi Ke raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.
"..." Fujiwara Bunta swallowed a big gulp of saliva and thought silently, "Oh my God! With such a big knife and the terrifying brute force when moving the table, it seems that this time it was extremely cruel.
What a character!!”
"Tai Wen! Are you leaving the stall so early?" At this time, a bald and fat old man trotted over.
"Sakamoto~ Why do you want to go shopping today? The store is closed?"
"Open a store? Come on. Yesterday, my boy provoked the kid from Kondo High School into our house again. The store was smashed." Uncle Bald Lao moved a stool into the shack with ease.
"It got smashed again." Fujiwara Bunta calmed down after hearing that.
"You are so calm."
"On average, your home is hit more than three times a month. After a few years, it will be difficult for me not to remain calm." Bunta Fujiwara yawned.
"Oh, I see. Tell me, do I look like a bad person?"
"It's not like that. You look like you are extremely poor. How can a bad person be as miserable as you?"
"Then you say my wife looks like a bad person?"
"It's not like that. To be able to fall in love with someone like you is definitely a great thing. It's like putting flowers in cow dung. What a great charity!"
"What is cow dung?!"
"How are you better than cow dung?"
"Tch! You're not married yet, are you? Have you ever been in love? You're just jealous!"
"If you keep talking, I'll chop you!!" Bunta Fujiwara took out a kitchen knife.
"Let's stop making trouble. Why do you think that such a good guy like me and I gave birth to a little brat who wants to be a gangster all day long?"
"..., you have lowered your family's excellent genes." Fujiwara Bunta thought about it and said seriously.
"I'm telling you something serious!!"
"What else can I do? Growing up on this street, it's hard not to learn bad things. Plus, my father... he nods and bows to a bunch of gangsters like a grandson~~"
"Stop talking! There are outsiders here! Save some face for me! Bunta!" The bald man covered Comrade Fujiwara Bunta's mouth.
"..., oh, I forgot to introduce you to two top students from Totsuki Academy, Shi Ke and Sadatsuka Nao."
"Here we are sent again? Did you two offend someone at school?!" The bald man had the same opinion as the boss.
"Yeah. But in my opinion, it's not difficult to pass the test." Shi Ke waved his hand.
"Another little devil who has never experienced any beating from society." The bald man complained, covering his face.
"Uncle, don't say that." Shi Ke grinned.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Bunta, a portion of curry rice and your signature fried tofu. I'm here to eat." The bald man looked at Fujiwara Bunta with a smile.
"Okay. Sit down and wait. Which of you two will make curry rice? I'll fry the tofu." Bunta Fujiwara asked the bald man to sit down and looked at the two stone guests.
"I'll do it." Shi Ke raised his hand.
"I want to do it too," Sadatsuka Nao said.
"Well..., that lady has priority. Shike, please do something else. For example, chop vegetables." Fujiwara Bunta said.
"No problem!" Shi Ke took out the kitchen knife and made a dizzying trick.
"Hey hee hee hee~ Shike-kun, I didn't expect you to do something for me." Sadatsuka Nao laughed mischievously.
"Is this something great?" Shi Ke asked.
"I made a profit." Sadatsuka Nao waved her hand.
"Congratulations then. However, it's impossible for you to cook every day. The two of us probably take turns cooking."
"That's right. One person per day, whoever does better on the last day will do it. I am very fair." Fujiwara Bunta said calmly.
"Oh." Sadatsuka Nao Sadako said with an angry face.
"Get ready to cut the vegetables. Do you have any special requirements? If so, let me know earlier. I plan to dice them all." Shi Ke took out a sharpening stick and sharpened the knife. It looked like a butcher.
"Then let's cut it into cubes. It would be troublesome to make curry any other way." Nao Sadatsuka set up a pot and started boiling water, with a rare seriousness.
"Then I'll get started." Shi Ke put away the sharpening stick, and the kitchen knife turned into a ghost and flashed past the potatoes on the chopping board. The potatoes didn't move at all.
"What are you doing?" Fujiwara Bunta didn't understand at all.
"It's done." Shi Ke poured the potatoes into the stainless steel pot next to him, and the diced potatoes split after the collision.
"How did you do it?"
"Just cut it quickly." As soon as Shi Ke finished speaking, the third potato had already been cut and placed in the pot.
"Very good. You continue." Fujiwara Bunta returned to the stove where he was frying tofu in embarrassment, complaining crazily in his heart, "Oh my god! What can I teach a person with this level of swordsmanship? Send me this Why come to a place where you can't pass the test just by relying on cooking skills? If you can't pass the test, don't the people in Totsuki Academy care about talents? Let's go and have a look at the brain when you have time, okay?"
The next three hours were uneventful, with Shi Ke steadily chopping vegetables, Sadatsuka Nao steadily cooking, and Fujiwara Bunta frying tofu with ease, and several regular customers in the store said they liked it after eating it.
"Hmm. It's so peaceful. It's a bit like the calm before the storm." Shi Ke put away his cell phone.
"You're right. It's 8:15 now, and those guys will come out at nine o'clock to fool around. Being able to deal with those guys is the key." Fujiwara Bunta looked at his broken electronic watch.
"Really? The challenge hasn't started yet." Shi Ke tilted his head.
"Boom, boom, boom!!" The roar of the heavy locomotive engine came from not far away, getting closer and closer.
"Hmm~~Those guys went to work early today." Bunta Fujiwara threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.
"Saizuka, just keep cooking for now. I'll take care of their work." Shi Ke said hello to Saizuka Nao.
"Yeah." Sadatsuka Nao lost her temper, put on a mask, and made curry rice with peace of mind. She is a girl after all, and she is still afraid of gangsters.
Shi Ke looked at the motorcycle lights that were on at the intersection, holding the menu and showing an evil smile, "I hope you won't force me to hit anyone!!"
