"I'm really sorry for bothering you while you're still in business hours. I'm from the Urban Life Planning Company... Minezaki." An office girl who was taking off her sunglasses came in outside the door, followed by three black men wearing sunglasses.
Clothes bodyguard.
"Hey...she is a beauty." Shi Ke thought with his eyebrows raised.
"..." The father and son did not speak.
"Ah! Welcome, welcome, welcome! Please take a seat. What would you like to eat? Our recommended dishes today are kineye sea bream sashimi and..." The waiter mode of Shi Ke Restaurant is activated.
"I'm extremely sorry. The reason we came here today is actually... we want to discuss with you the plan we mentioned to you last time."
"What plan?" Shi Ke tilted his head.
"I'll come. You don't know about this." Xingping pulled Shi Ke aside.
"Oh." Shi Ke went to clean the table.
"Hello. We want to build an urban apartment with a garden style theme here." Minezaki said with a professional smile.
"Ah...that means you developers are planning to drive us away from here, right? I've heard it before. Please come back, we don't plan to close this store." Xingping smiled and refused.
hesitate.
"..., then I put my business card here. You can contact me at any time if you think about it." Minezaki still maintained a professional smile.
"..." Xingping looked at the business card and said nothing.
"But, these days... it's becoming increasingly difficult for small restaurants like yours to survive, right? I've also heard that many stores have difficulty even purchasing materials."
"Our restaurant does not have such difficulties." Xingping said, "No matter when the dishes are ordered by the guests, our Xingping restaurant will make them so that the guests will leave satisfied."
"Oh... What a service attitude that people today admire. It is simply a role model in the service industry!" Minezaki said with a fake smile, then raised his chin, "Then... if... you can't give the guests what they want.
Dishes, how can we take on this responsibility?”
After Yukihira was stunned for a moment, he picked up the barbecue tongs and put Minenosaki's business card on the charcoal stove.
"If something like that happens, we...will not hesitate...to close our doors!!"
Phew..., the business card was burned to ashes.
"Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow it?" Minezaki put on his sunglasses.
"certainly."
Minezaki nodded with a smile and led his men out of the door.
As soon as they went out, Yukihira immediately closed the door.
"It's closed, no delivery! Dad, get some salt and sprinkle it on! To ward off evil spirits!"
"No. It's such a waste."
"Haha..." Minezaki rubbed his chin and was thinking.
"Xingping, you guys wear sunglasses when you go out at night, aren't you afraid of hitting the telephone pole?" Shi Ke asked Xingping.
"There's something wrong with your brain, just don't learn from it."
An idea came to mind at the door, and Minezaki, who was pushing up his glasses, suddenly had veins popping out.
Yukihei went to school early the next morning. The boss also went out. Shike finished cleaning and had nothing to do, so he did push-ups in the room to exercise.
Time passed little by little. Shi Ke looked at the clock in boredom. It was half past eleven.
"Oh my god...can the boss open the store?"
"Shi Ke, I'm back." As soon as he finished speaking, the boss walked into the store.
"Hello, boss. Are you open for business?"
"No, I won't open the store today because I have something to do. I won't go home until tomorrow. Don't be so bored all the time. You can go out for a walk."
"Oh. Then I'll just treat it as the boss and give me a day off. I'll go out and have a look in the afternoon."
"Hmm. By the way, how many years have you been a chef?"
"Five years. My grandfather only officially regarded me as a chef when I was ten years old. Before that, I was not allowed to enter the kitchen at home, saying that I was not qualified."
"It seems that your grandfather is a very strict chef."
"Yeah. But that's okay. My grandpa is just a crazy chef who only thinks about cooking. As long as you don't mention cooking, he is no different from an ordinary old man."
"What an interesting old man. Why did you come to Japan?"
"Going to school. My grandfather has a good friend in Japan who runs a school. He sent me to Japan this year and asked me to study and learn cooking from his friend. He said that there is a lot of competition there and it can help me correct my attitude."
"Which school? I'm pretty familiar with chef schools."
"What's the name Yuanyue...I can't remember. Let me take a look." Shi Ke opened the jeans and took out an envelope from the inner pocket. When he opened it, there was a filled-in application for admission. He looked at it.
, "Well...it's called Totsuki Saryo Cooking School."
"..., hum. I am quite familiar with this school. However, it is still several weeks away from its enrollment time."
"Yeah. I know. My grandpa planned to let me adapt to the Japanese environment in advance..., who knew I lost my wallet just after getting off the plane. I had no choice but to walk around aimlessly, and then I ended up here.
.”
"You just walked around for more than ten kilometers to get there?"
"Yeah. I'm just wandering around. I helped out in this kitchen for two days, and then worked in that kitchen for two days, and then two more days, and then... we're here. This is the fifth restaurant, and it's also the one with the best cooking skills.
's family."
"Then why do you have no money? You don't want a salary?"
"Yeah. If I go to work, I can learn their cooking methods that I have never made before. I have already made a lot of money. If I ask for more money, my purpose is not pure."
"Are you stupid?" The boss raised his eyebrows.
"I left after working for two days. I didn't stay for a full week. I was too embarrassed to ask for money. However, the boss would give me some travel expenses when I left, which was enough to last me until the next store."
"So it's really interesting to come here like this. Let's have lunch. I have something to do in the afternoon."
"Well, thank you boss."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yukihira finished school.
"Buzz!!!" Xingping walked to the overpass and his cell phone rang.
Answered the call, "Chuangzhen, I have to go out for something today, and the store will be closed today."
"Oh, that's really strange."
"I won't go back until tomorrow, so I don't have to open the door."
"I see."
"..."
"Anything else?"
"I asked you,..., what are you going to do after graduating from junior high school?"
"?" Xingping was stunned for a while, "Do you still need to ask? Of course I am honing my cooking skills in my own shop..."
"Is that so? Beep...beep...beep..." The phone hung up.
"Did you die? Why are you asking me this?" Xingping was a little confused and fell into deep thought.
Dad rarely talks about his own affairs..., thinking about it carefully, maybe I really don't know dad very well...
"..., I still have to buy ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast, so I'll just buy bacon, eggs and bread." Xingping thought for a while and muttered as he walked towards the convenience store.
Around five o'clock, Yukihira bought some things and went home.
Walking to the back door of the ingredients warehouse, Xing Ping curled his lips when he saw the back door was ajar, "Um? Did I remember to close the warehouse door? Did Shi Ke or dad forget to close it? I'm going to talk about them tonight."
As soon as he entered the door, Yukihira was dumbfounded.
The room was in a mess, the refrigerator door was wide open, and the meat that was originally placed inside was thrown to the ground. Footprints were stepped on the meat, and even cleaning fluid and other things were poured on it. Anyway, as long as it was related to meat
Everything was ruined.
"The meat in the refrigerator... has been trampled to pieces!! Is it a thief? No, it can't be a thief!!" Yukihira put down the things in his hands and started to check.
"Could it be... Shi Ke? That's not right. He didn't take away his things. There's no reason to throw away such good kitchen utensils and run away just for a few pieces of meat." Xing Ping looked up and saw that Shi Ke's kitchen knife was still hanging on the
The steel rods on the wall did not move and remained in place.
Xingping passed through the door and went to the front store. When he arrived at the store, he was slightly relieved. The store was not damaged.
He looked at the door, and the shadow of the awning was reflected on the door, "The awning at the door has been put down..."
Xingping immediately opened the door and ran to the street. When he turned around and looked up, he saw a scene that made him furious.
A thick layer of white paint was splashed on my signboard. The paint was not dry and was still dripping down.
"This scene is much more pleasing to the eye than when I arrived yesterday. Is it because the unsightly signboard has been covered up?" A woman's voice came from behind.
Yukihira glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was Minenosaki.
"Ah..., I suddenly wanted to eat meat today..." Minezaki walked into the store minding his own business.
Xingping followed in without saying a word.
"I often go to Roppongi to eat frost steak. It's so delicious~~The delicious and rich gravy spreads in my mouth... I said, kid, can you make a tender and juicy meat dish?" Minenosaki sat down at his seat.
on, still smiling professionally.
At this moment, Xinghei finally understood who did what happened today.
