The time to prepare for the meal passed quickly, and noon arrived quickly. Guests who had made reservations arrived as scheduled. The rabbit and bear duo accompanied Miki Hinata to greet the guests and lead everyone to their private rooms.
"Chef Inui, today's theme is crabs and shrimps?" A customer with a big belly who looked like a wealthy businessman stopped Inui Hinata and asked, pointing to the daily theme menu.
"Yeah. That's right."
"My son has a bad habit. He doesn't want to eat vegetables. He refuses to eat them at all. He can pick them out even after they are chopped into pieces and squeezed into juice. If we cancel the appointment now, my son and wife will be unhappy again, and so will you. Please help me think of a solution? I’ll be Chef Hinatako.”
"Then your request is for crab dishes that can supplement vegetable vitamins. Is that right?"
"This is the best thing. However, I still hope that you can find a way to help me change my son's bad habit of being picky. As a father, thank you."
"This is the first time I've heard such a request. Hmm... I'll discuss it with the chefs. If it doesn't work out, I'll make a dish for you myself."
"Thank you so much, Chef Qian. Originally, you should have consulted a doctor for this kind of thing..., I'm really sorry."
"No, no, no. I'm picky about food. It's not a disease. I should ask the chef for help. Oh, by the way, sir... do you want to eat fruit?"
"I can eat fruits. But after all, they can't be completely regarded as vegetables."
"That's true. Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." Miki Hinata waved and trotted towards the kitchen.
"Chef Gan, you are such a gentle chef." The wealthy businessman walked back to the private room.
In the kitchen, "Wow! That's not good!" Gan Hinata rushed into the kitchen in a hurry.
"..., with this attitude, someone has withdrawn your order? Or have you met a top food critic?" Shi Ke was shocked.
"Well... I felt weak and took a more difficult order. The customer is coming soon, so you should prepare yourself." Hinatako scratched her head in embarrassment and looked away.
"Let's be honest. Did you suddenly want to take on any unplanned orders?" Akiyama Inusaki and Kuraki Nya hugged their arms together, and gave Hinatako a look that had seen through everything.
Shi Ke understood that someone deliberately created a problem.
"Ahem..." After being seen through, Miki Hinata no longer concealed it and coughed, "Well~~ I ask you to make a few dishes that contain vegetables but are not very visible. The guests are very picky about vegetables. My boy. Chop up the vegetables and squeeze them into juice, and he can eat them. Last but not least, he still eats the fruits. There are so many things to note. I believe you can complete it, come on! Come on!" Miki Hinatako finished, With a casual wave, he picked up two towels and waved them to cheer everyone, ~?('ω')?~.
"Chef, stop for a moment. These two are rags. I just finished cooking the crabs and they are quite fishy." Shi Ke said, dodging the waving rags, (?_?).
Miki Hinata heard this, raised her hand and smelled it, then calmly folded the towel and put it back on the cooking table. She looked at Shi Ke and others with her hands on her hips, as if she was not the one who performed the Yangko dance with two rags just now. "Are you confident you can complete the mission?"
"It's okay." Shi Ke nodded calmly.
"It should be fine, right? Right, Nya-chan?" Akiyama Inusaki glanced sideways at Kuraki Nya, looking for his teammates.
"Hmm... It should be possible. But I won't know until it's done." Kurakimiao nodded.
"That's good. I'm looking forward to your performance." Hinatako happily prepared to leave the kitchen.
"Senior, let me go with you to see that little guy. This way I can determine what dish I want to cook." Shi Ke walked up to Gan Hinatako in three steps and two steps at a time.
"Well... you can, but you can only watch from a distance. We don't have the tradition of treating guests like monkeys here. Just make a fruit platter and say it's for free."
"Oh." Shi Ke walked around the kitchen with the seven-star knife and turned on the stove. After a while, he walked up to Miki Hinatako with a golden fire phoenix assembled from various fruits.
Fuck Hyugako and the cat-dog duo, (′??_??)(′?ω?｀)(′∵｀). Are you kidding? What did he just do? How did he create such a bird?
Inui Hinata calmed down and walked to the private room with Shi Ke, "You have to observe quickly and don't let the child notice that something is wrong. Otherwise, if the child gets angry, it will be difficult for me to deal with it."
"I just want to confirm whether his picky eating is a result of habit or there is a reason. A few dozen seconds at most is enough." Shi Ke explained calmly.
"It's unlikely that you'll get used to it. I'm quite familiar with that customer. He's not the kind of person who will pamper his children."
"If that's the case, then it's even more important to go take a look. We need to prescribe the right medicine." Shi Ke nodded.
"What are your plans?"
"Let's go take a look first. I may make medicinal food today." Shi Ke said.
"Do you also know how to prepare medicinal foods?" Gan Hinata twitched the corner of her mouth and turned her head.
"A little bit good. However, making medicated food is a bit different from Japanese food."
"No, no, no, Japan also has medicated cuisine. Dishes that combine Japanese food and medicated food are not common in top Japanese restaurants, but you can still find them. Oh, here we are. Remember..." The two of them arrived as they talked. The door of the private room.
"I know. It'll be done in ten seconds." Shi Ke nodded.
Hinata tidied her clothes and knocked on the door of the Japanese room, "Excuse me. The fruit platter provided by our restaurant has arrived. Can you bring it in?"
"Please... please come in." The fat guest's somewhat excited voice came out.
Inui Hinata smiled, opened the door, and with a smile on her face, she greeted Shi Ke and brought the fruit platter in, "Serve the guests."
Shi Ke carried the phoenix into the private room with a smile, and gently placed it in front of the children, "This is a special fruit platter given by our store. I hope it can accompany a few guests to spend their leisure time before the dishes are served. It tastes good. Oh, please enjoy it."
The body is made of pineapple, which is round and plump. The feathers carved all over the body are lifelike and shining. The wings are made of cantaloupe bones, which are wrapped with pieces of pineapple in order of color. Feathers made of purple-red pitaya, strawberry, citrus, apple, olive, green plum, and blueberry through different methods are colorful, just like a rainbow coming. The claws are dark and shiny, like gold and iron, and the patterns carved by a knife spread across it. On the top, bursts of sweet and attractive coconut fragrance exudes. The proud and luxurious phoenix head looks up to the sky and sings. Every feather is carved lifelike, and the phoenix eyes made of cherries shine brightly against the background of yacon. .
"Oh!! So beautiful! Mom, look!" The child immediately happily pulled his mother to look at the fruit phoenix platter.
Shi Ke took the opportunity to observe with a smile.
After a while, the child noticed Shi Ke's gaze and said, "Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Uncle?!" Shi Ke almost didn't come up, "..., I would like to ask the children to rate this fruit platter. From one to ten, how would you rate it?"
"Ten points!! I swear! I'm telling the truth!"
"Thank you for your high evaluation. I wish you a pleasant meal." Shi Ke exited the private room with a smile.
"Uncle, goodbye!" The children also said goodbye to Shi Ke warmly.
After Shi Ke exited the box, he closed the door gently, and his whole face fell down, (′Д｀).
"How is it?" asked Miki Hinatako.
"The child is not in good health and is picky about food due to malnutrition."
"Do you still know medical skills?"
"Yeah." Shi Ke nodded sadly, (?_?).
"That expression on your face?"
"Senior Hinata, are you anxious about my appearance? That brat called me uncle!" Shi Ke burst into tears!
"..., I'm really anxious. No matter it's height or body shape..." Gan Hinata thought for a moment and gave Shi Ke a stabbing blow.
"..." Shi Ke lay down on the ground and moved toward the kitchen like a caterpillar.
Shi Ke:_(:з ∠)_, decadent, heartbreaking, ignore me, let me calm down on the cold floor and think about the meaning of life! I am only sixteen now!
