Hearing what the girl said, Natsume Moto at the counter froze for a moment.

He took out the menu and responded with a smile

"Don't worry, this little guy won't shed his hair."

"How can such a thing be guaranteed?"

When Erina had doubts, he heard the meowing of a cat.

Ph, Uh, Uh.Natsume Motoichi patted its head lightly.

"They are not malicious, you go and rest."

The cat obediently left the counter and ran to the window of the restaurant near the street.

I saw it nimbly jumping onto the wide window sill, put its body on it, and began to enjoy the gradually falling moonlight.

"That's not okay, you..."

"Miss."

Fei Sazi knew how strict Erina was as a chef, but this time he came to thank the old man Senzaemon and help the owner open.

For this reason, Fei Shazi, who is the secretary, hurriedly reminded her.

"Senzaemon-sama said that he is here to help this time."

"Too……"

Erina took a deep breath, and took the menu Natsume Motoichi handed her.

"I'm Erina, Nakiri Erina, Nakiri Senzaemon is my grandfather, I'm here this time to thank you and help you open for a few days."

"Master Nakiri? You clearly said that you don't need to thank you."

"How did you and grandpa meet?"

"It's not complicated."

Natsume Yuanyi recalled the past and explained to Erina in front of him that

"It was raining heavily that day. The old man and the others were shopping near our store, but they were stalked by a group of gangsters. I just helped out of the siege."

That's it?

Erina remembered that Grandpa would have bodyguards when he went out.

That being the case, who are those punks?

How could it threaten grandpa?

"Then I invited them to have a meal. Since there were too many guests that day, they were too busy. After the old man heard about it, he said that he would ask someone to come and help."

Erina choked for a moment.

It seems that this 'junction street' is not simple.

"Grandpa praised your cooking, can I have a taste?" Erina said, this is the focus of her trip.

The owner of a small restaurant, really let the "gourmet devil" praise the craftsmanship?

"Of course, but I don't have many dishes that I'm good at. I'm still learning. Please order from the menu."

"Then...I want a vegetable tempura."

"understood."

As soon as Natsume Yuan finished speaking, he looked at another girl.

"This guest..."

"Hello, I'm Xinhu Feishazi. I'm here with the eldest lady. Please give me your advice."

Listening to the polite self-introduction, Natsume Genichi also briefly reported his name.

"Natsume Genichi, the store manager, what would you like to order, miss?"

"Just be the same as Missy."

"You two, please wait a moment."

After receiving the order, Natsume Motoichi turned and walked into the kitchen.

The dining area is only separated from the kitchen by a counter and a transparent curtain, so guests can see every move of Natsume Genichi.

He prepared the ingredients needed for vegetable tempura.

Potatoes, eggplants, carrots and sweet potatoes, and then take out flour and peppercorns from the cabinet.

Holding a knife in his right hand, Natsume Genichi cut all the vegetables into strips. His excellent and skilled knife skills allowed him to quickly complete the vegetable cutting operation, which was simple and fast.

Next comes the roux.

In order to ensure that the fried vegetables taste crisp, Natsume Motoichi took out a bucket of water from the freezer and poured it into an iron bowl.

Ice water is the key.

Mix the flour with cold water and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

After the reconciliation is complete, wrap the previously cut vegetables in the roux and slowly put them into the pot.

It's sizzling!

The sound of frying sounded in the kitchen.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes that were not easy to cook were put down first by Natsume Genichi, followed by eggplant and green peppers.

After deep frying until golden brown, remove them and serve on a plate.

But before serving it to the guests, Natsume Motoichi walked to the east side of the kitchen and began to prepare the dipping sauce.

Soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil are combined to make a spicy vinaigrette.

"Two guests please use."

Erina looked at the golden vegetable tempura in front of her, which was fragrant and appetizing.

How will it taste?

In front of Erina's proud "God's Tongue", all shortcomings will be magnified!

Impossible to escape her perception!

Erina picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tempura, and without any dipping sauce, she just took a bite of Kacha!

The outer coating is crispy!

The vegetables on the inside taste fresh!

Two different tastes complement each other and dance in the mouth.

Erina felt her whole body was wrapped in this fragrance, this warmth.

It seems that only the tempura in front of you is left in the whole world...

Erina picked up the second portion and dipped it in some condiments.

As soon as you take it in, a peculiar aroma spreads.

Not just vinegar and soy sauce, but also some sweet and sour lemon.

When was it put in?

Erina thought of this and quickly gave up.

A little sweetness tempers the taste, and some sourness evokes the appetite.

Inside the small tempura, it seems to contain the truth of the universe.

Looking up, looking at the starry sky that should not exist, they all turned into the shape of tempura

"Miss?"

Hearing the shout, Erina recovered from the flying state.

"I……"

Erina, who just entered sleepwalking state, blushed a little bit shyly.

Howling!

The cat purred as if trying to break the embarrassment.

"Please use it."

Natsume Motoichi handed out a glass of water at the right time and put it in front of Erina.

At this time, he found that Hisako also took a bite of tempura, so he brought the second cup over in advance.

After the two girls finished eating, the satisfied Erina left her seat.

"I wish I could help out in the store."

Erina can't forget the smell just now, she must find out!

"With a lovely employee like Ms. Nakiri, I think the store will definitely become lively."

"Please don't joke."

It was the first time that Erina, who was paid attention to because of her beauty, received such a straightforward compliment.

Unmoved on the surface, she looked at the boy, who kept that calm smile unchanged.

"Then Miss Nakiri is the No. [-] employee of our store."

Erina looked around, there was no one else except the guests.

At this time, the girl in the corner, with blond hair and double ponytails, raised her right hand and pointed her slender fingers at the cat on the windowsill.

"The No. [-] clerk is it.

Chapter 3 Doujinshi Ying Lili (asking for collection, asking for flowers, asking for evaluation)

Clerk No. [-]?

that cat?

Erina didn't quite understand.

How can a cat have the possibility of becoming a shop assistant?

Could it be that you can serve the plate?

Thinking of this, Erina couldn't help looking over.

The cat on the windowsill noticed Erina's gaze, then yawned, narrowed his eyes and let out a snort.

Feels like being mocked...

She was ranked at the top of Totsuki Academy, but now she is a cat's junior.

"Forget it... Number two is number two; store manager Natsume, do I need to go to work now? No, I hope I can go to work now."

Erina did not forget the delicious vegetable tempura just now.

She thought that Natsume Genichi must have his own unique cooking methods.

Although those methods are generally regarded as secrets, Erina must investigate clearly.

Because her "God's Tongue" didn't even analyze the mystery of it!

"Miss, I'll go back and report now."

"Well, I'll also tell my grandfather here, anyway, it's just a holiday recently, so I can stay in the store for a while."

"Okay, Mr. Natsume, I will take my leave first."

Hisako Nido left her seat and said to Erina before leaving

"I'll come back later."

"Okay, be careful when you go back."

Fei Shazi nodded in response, then opened the store door and left the restaurant.

Natsume Yuan watched the guests leave, and he waved to Erina.

"There are no new guests now, come with me."
