My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 2 Don't Panic, I Will Shot

From a distance, Liu Minghui saw the cashier room of the izakaya where Photon was looking anxiously at something outside the door.

When she saw Liu Minghui, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had seen a savior.

The chef ran away yesterday, and today the boss didn't see anyone for a long time. The front desk almost thought that his boss was going to run away.

Although running away is rare, it is not uncommon.

Fortunately, the boss is quite reliable and is finally back.

When Liu Minghui approached, the indoor photon couldn't wait to say: "Boss Liu, what should we do now."

"Without a chef, how can we continue to open this izakaya?"

"Other employees are also here and are on standby, waiting for you to arrange tasks."

Unexpectedly, Liu Minghui didn't pay her much attention. Instead, he looked curiously at the izakaya that he should have seen countless times.

Liu Minghui looked at the well-decorated izakaya and nodded with satisfaction.

According to the original person's memory, he was planning to do something big at the time, so there was no carelessness in the decoration and all the best materials were used.

It's a pity that due to poor follow-up maintenance, these decorations look a bit outdated.

A little cleaning, though, can give it a new look.

Afterwards, Liu Minghui looked around the store again. It is the most classic decoration of an izakaya. After a simple cleaning, it should be able to handle it.

"Boss, why don't you speak?"

"What's the arrangement today? Do you want to open without the head chef?"

"It's almost business hours and we have to make a decision as quickly as possible."

Anxious indoor photons interrupted Liu Minghui's contemplation. She really couldn't figure out why Boss Liu was still distracted when Longli Izakaya was at the critical point of life and death.

But what she said was right, it was indeed time to make arrangements.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Minghui made arrangements: "Today, we will put up a sign that says we are temporarily closed, and then we will organize everyone to clean up."

"After the cleaning is complete, you can rest."

"We will officially open on the next working day."

Open next business day?
Indoor Photon was a little confused, did the boss find the head chef?

Seemingly seeing the doubts of the photons in the room, Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Don't panic, I will make a move."

After speaking, under the surprised eyes of the employees, the boss, who had almost never been in the kitchen, went straight into the kitchen.

At the beginning, it was an izakaya decorated by Liu Minghui himself, so he was familiar with the layout here.

Although he plans to be the head chef himself, Liu Minghui still plans to give it a try first. After all, the cuisine of Sakura Country is not exactly the same as that of Hua Country.

"Ding, the sensor host enters the kitchen, and the system is officially activated."

"The Super Chef system is at your service."

"The novice task has started: make a tempura that can be recognized by all employees."

"Reward: Sakura Country Basic Cuisine (Beginner Level)."

The system is actually a system, Liu Minghui was overjoyed.

It's just that I have been to the apartment's kitchen, why did I trigger the system now?

Recalling the kitchen in the apartment, Liu Minghui thought with some suspicion, maybe the system didn't think it was a kitchen?

That's a bit sad
With the assistance of the system, Liu Minghui felt that he was more confident.

As for this novice task, Liu Minghui didn't care at all. With so many years of experience as a chef, how could he still make a small Sakura Country tempura?

So, he took out his mobile phone and started to Google.

There should be tempura tutorials online, right?

As an oriental chef, Liu Minghui has only heard of this stuff, but he has never done it himself.

Just as Liu Minghui was preparing the tempura, outside the door, four employees discussed while cleaning.

The employees in the store are mainly a helper, two waiters and a front desk.

If the front desk and the kitchen helpers are not busy, they will also help the waiters with something.

An izakaya whose business is not very hot, invites so many people, it is considered a top match.

At the beginning, Liu Minghui was working with the attitude of becoming bigger and stronger, but unfortunately, God did not fulfill his wishes. In the end, out of a little passion, he did not fire employees and reduce consumption.

In his words, it's just one more person, he can afford it.

Of course, Liu Minghui thinks this kind of behavior is a proper prodigal behavior. If you treat them well, they may not remember you.

Just like now.

The relationship between them seems to be very good, they are talking and laughing.

It's just that there is an unconcealable sadness between the brows. After listening carefully, they are actually discussing the matter of finding a new job.

Indoor Photon said worriedly: "What do you say, why do I feel that our future is worrying!"

"It's still the head chef of Shuitian who has a good eye. I knew it was not good here, so I found a new job, and I left yesterday."

"If you are looking for a job temporarily, you may not be able to find it all at once."

"Looking at how Boss Liu is about to close his store, he probably won't be able to pay any compensation. Hey, what are these things?"

Moriyama Joichi also sighed and said, "Don't praise the paddy field. If he hadn't sold us directly, at least we would have had no problem holding on until the end of this year."

"I really hope that the boss can persist for a while. It is not easy to find a job these days, but unfortunately, it seems that it will not work."

"The head chef is gone, basically there is no hope for a restaurant."

Yoji Kawakami nodded and said, "It's not that we are too pessimistic, but that's the truth."

"Maybe we should call Shuitian and see if there are any jobs available there."

"Since the chief chef is recruited, maybe some waiters are also needed."

Mochizuki Kanna looked at the sighing crowd and said very optimistically: "Aren't you a little too pessimistic? The boss is still there, so you are planning to change jobs."

"Didn't you see that the boss told us to do a big cleaning, maybe he was preparing for a big one."

Photon in the room said with a sad face: "If he really plans to hire a new chef and do a good job, there is still a little hope."

"But, look what he has done?"

"Cooking by yourself? Doesn't he think that just one person can be the chef?"

The rest of the people also responded: "That's right, this boss is not a business person at first sight."

"The ability to persevere until now is already due to the strength of the head chef of the rice field."

"When I go back at night, I'll contact the chief chef of Mizutani to see if he can bring us along."

"I also said that I would save more money to support my family, but it seems that there is no chance again."

……

Not to mention everyone's thoughts, Liu Minghui has already Googled the tempura tutorial at this time, and is ready to start making according to the tutorial.

As a traditional delicacy of Sakura Country, tempura is divided into many types, including vegetable and seafood.

Liu Minghui decided to make the most classic fried shrimp tempura.

Liu Minghui spent a lot of money to build a kitchen that has everything you need.

As for the ingredients, no ingredients were delivered today due to the absence of the chef, only some leftover ingredients from yesterday.

These leftover ingredients are still fresh, which is enough to make fried shrimp tempura.

Isn't it just a fried shrimp in Sakura Country?
Isn't it easy for me, Liu Minghui, to make a move?
　Thank you all for your votes!
