Chapter 154 The Night
"My ability...is still not enough..."
After the last table of guests left, the work in the kitchen finally came to an end. When she heard Shinomiya Kojiro say goodbye tomorrow, Su Ying let out a long breath, shook a bit, and finally squatted down against the wall.
Her brow was still dripping with sweat, just like driving a car chasing the sports car in front of her. Constantly turning and changing speeds had to cling to the opponent's rhythm. If she didn't pay attention, she would be thrown far away from the track by the opponent.Throughout the day, her nerves were tense to the extreme, until the last moment.
"Su Ying, let's go now~" The other chefs in the kitchen greeted each other before leaving.
"Well, okay, see you tomorrow..." Su Ying squatted on the ground and waved listlessly.
Is this the employee of a "first-class" restaurant... Obviously, the workload is similar to hers, and it feels much easier to do than hers.
After the first mistake, even if I put all my heart and soul into the work, I still felt that I couldn't keep up with everyone's pace, and I made several mistakes one after another, although I quickly corrected them under the command of Senior Shinomiya , did not affect the overall progress too much, but Su Ying still felt very sad.
Like an ill-fitting rivet on a delicate instrument, she's stuck here, making the whole thing rattle and rattle.
"You'd better rest early, you should start working at dawn, and take advantage of this time to cultivate your health and rest."
"Ah! Senior Sigong!" Kojiro Shinomiya who suddenly appeared from Su Ying's side startled her, she thought Sigong had already left.
"But seeing your performance in the kitchen today... I think it's better for you not to force yourself." Sigong said in a cold voice.
"The trial operation during this period is the key to my success in Japan. If you still hold the idea that you are just a student and here is an internship, then don't make trouble in the kitchen."
"Hmm..." Even if what the other party said was true, Su Ying, whose heart was full of wounds, still hoped that the other party could speak a little more tactfully.
"Tomorrow..." Kojiro Shinomiya paused, "It is expected that more guests will come, and the workload is two or three times that of today."
"If you behave like this tomorrow, then tomorrow will be your last day in the kitchen."
After saying these words, Kojiro Shinomiya picked up the coat that was put aside and put it on, "You can leave after cleaning the kitchen."
"Um……"
"Bang—" with a sound
Sigh... When we first met, I thought Shinomiya-senpai had become a lot gentler, but now it's like this...
But I can't blame him, what I did today... Su Ying thought about it, and found it unsightly.
Everyone in the kitchen is very busy, where is the time to teach yourself the steps and skills...
After spending a long time cleaning the kitchen, Su Ying walked out of the restaurant door and locked it behind her back.
The crimson blue sky is like a grand rendering after splashing ink. Neon lights, car lights, and street lights outline the outlines of buildings. Hurrying crowds, passing vehicles, and cold wind in late autumn appear alternately, like jumping up and down on a piano. black and white piano keys.
"What should I do tomorrow?" Su Ying walked under the dim light, her fatigue spread from her limbs to her skin and bone marrow. Every time she took a step, she felt that her body was limp and unable to exert herself.Contrary to the fatigue of the body, her brain is still constantly active.
In such a state, it is difficult to fall asleep even if you go back to the hotel.
However, compared to those, what I have to worry about now is what to do tomorrow.
"Jingle Bell--"
Walking downstairs of the hotel, before entering the door, she felt the phone vibrating slightly. Su Ying took it out and looked, and there was a red-haired idiot's face on the phone that was playing the ringtone.
"Hello..." Holding the phone to her ear, Su Ying said listlessly.
"Hello!" came the energetic voice of Soma Kohei.
Alas... Is it true that the energy of a fool is inexhaustible?Why does it feel like he is always full of electricity?
"Xiao Xingxing, what's the matter?"
"Hmm...Actually...it seems to be all right?" Xing Ping Chuangzhen smiled silly.
Su Ying can really think of the other party's cheap smiling face scratching the back of her head even with her eyes closed, "It's nothing, I'll just hang up first!"
She is already very tired, can you let her take a shower and go back to bed early...
"Don't hang up!" Xing Ping Chuangzhen sat up suddenly from the bed, "I just..."
"Just what?"
"It's nothing..." Xing Pingchuang said weakly. He just took out his mobile phone and hesitated for a long time whether to make a call with Su Ying. It took a long time before he made up his mind to call, but after Su Ying answered the phone, He didn't know what to say again.
"If you do this again, I will really die!"
Feeling that Su Ying seemed a little unhappy, Xing Ping Chuangzhen said with concern: "It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time, you... how are you doing recently?"
During the more than half a month of on-site internship, everyone was busy working in various restaurants, and rushed to another restaurant after the seven-day period expired. Su Ying had indeed not seen Xingping Chuangzhen for a long time.
"Oh..." Su Ying sighed, "It's not very good..."
"Oh... are you okay? It's okay..." Xing Ping Chuangzhen subconsciously answered, only to realize that something seemed wrong.
Because when I asked how it was before, the other party often answered that it was okay, let him answer that way habitually!It's too bad, Su Ying shouldn't feel like she's not listening!
"Ah? What's wrong?" He hastily added.
But Su Ying didn't seem to care about these things at all, "It's just not very good..."
"What's wrong, can you tell me?" Su Ying heard Xingping Chuangzhen say this, and she had an attitude of not giving up without asking.
It seems... It feels like Xiao Xingxing is very serious today.
So, Su Ying told Xing Ping Chuangzhen everything that happened in the restaurant of Sigong in the past two days.
"So, is it mainly because you can't keep up with the rhythm of the team?"
"Well, almost..."
"How long have they been working together! You have only joined for a short time, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to keep up!" If it is an ordinary chef team, this is of course not a problem, but after hearing Su Ying's description, No matter how you think about it, it is an elite team with a very small number of people and a high efficiency.In this kind of team that has gone through a long period of time, the members may only need to use one or two words to express a series of meanings. It is too difficult for a newcomer to blend in in just a few days. !
"No, it's mainly my problem. My movements are too slow."
"Where is your movement slow..."
"Compared with Xiao Xingxing, isn't it much slower?"
Xing Ping Chuangzhen's cooking has always been known for his unconstrained style and swiftness in cooking. Among the first-year students, very few people can catch up with his speed.In the previous autumn selection, Xingping Chuangzhen faced off with Su Ying, leading Su Ying by 10 minutes.
Although the result is that Xing Ping Chuang really lost... o(╯□╰)o "And, to be honest, I also don't understand the menu. The processing methods written in French are too vague, and I can't figure it out Understand."
In Shinomiya Kojiro's shop, both recipes and menus are written in French, making Su Ying, whose French is only a basic level, miserable.
"Like paille, I don't understand the meaning of this word at all! Even if I look it up in the dictionary on my phone, I can only find the meaning of straw..."
Su Ying was complaining, when Xing Ping Chuangzhen said in the microphone, "It's wheat bars."
"……what?"
"It should mean cutting the ingredients into bars, with a length of five to six centimeters and a width of less than one centimeter."
"What about allumette? What do matches mean?"
"This is also a kind of finger cutting method in cooking..."
"Like a matchstick?"
"No, no, it's actually a long strip about 0.8 centimeters wide and four to five centimeters long... Cheese sticks! Cheese sticks, you know? That's what it is!"
"..."
"Why didn't you speak?"
"Unexpectedly, Xiao Xingxing, you are quite amazing..."
The French food teaching at Yuanyue Academy is all taught in Japanese, and these things have never been learned before.
"Hahahaha... It's okay, Su Ying-chan, do you have any questions? Ask me too!"
"Uh... how about this? It seems to be very late."
"It's okay! It would be nice if I could help you!"
"Okay, then I will continue to ask..."
……
"Next time, if you have any questions, come and ask me!"
"Well, thank you, Xiao Xingxing!"
"Go to bed early! You will be busy tomorrow!"
"You too~"
"Hey hey hey..." Xingping Chuangzhen was still giggling after hanging up the phone at the end.
Huh... Originally, I heard that Su Ying was in the same group as Ibu Saki Jun before, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I was a little worried...
It's been a long time since I've seen Su Ying look so gentle!
QAQ thanks Dad for teaching him those weird French words about cooking, which he thought he would never use in his life!I didn't expect it to be used at this time!
