The cuisine of the new chef of Shinkawa House has conquered Erina Nakiri, and now she is very eager to meet the chef who can make such amazing dishes.
Being summoned by the "Ice Queen" is considered a great honor in the Japanese cuisine world. It stands to reason that the general manager of Xinchuanlou should be happy to agree to the new chef's request, and then immediately invite the new chef to meet him. " "The Tongue of God" is.
This is a normal process in the Japanese cuisine world.
But this time, the general manager of Shinkawa Building looked embarrassed and bowed again: "I'm sorry, Miss Nakiri, our new chef has a rule and does not see guests during working hours."
"Extremely rude! Do you think we, Miss Erina, are still waiting for him to get off work?" Nito Hisako was furious.
This can definitely be regarded as a slight against the Totsuki Group and Ms. Nakiri Erina of "God's Tongue"!
The master died in humiliation, and the Nito family has served the Nakiri family for generations. Nito Hisako has always considered herself to be Nakiri Erina's retainer. Nakiri Erina was slighted, and she felt that she had been greatly insulted.
get off work? People run away after get off work, how could they stay to wait for you and meet you.
The general manager could only think about this, but did not dare to say it out loud. He could only bow, bow, bow: "I'm very sorry, Miss Nakiri, Yan Sang has an agreement with our Xinchuan Building. In addition to matters other than cooking, he is I don’t care at all, I really can’t order him to do anything outside of the contract!”
"Okay, I understand." Nakiri Erina seemed to be reasonable now, "He won't come to meet me, but it's okay for you to introduce him to me, right?"
Arrogance is the privilege of the powerful. From the current perspective, the new chef called "Yan-san" is qualified to let her, Nakiri Erina, accommodate her, but not to accommodate Nakiri Erina.
"Of course it's okay, as long as Miss Nakiri doesn't mind that our kitchen is messy!" the general manager said politely.
The general manager did not have the courage to reject the successor of Yuanyue Group many times.
In the back kitchen, Yan Kai was savoring the taste of walking in the snow to look for bears. The freshness of the sturgeon and the aroma of the white bear's paws blended together. It was fish and bear's paws, and he had both. Yan Kai was very happy to eat.
At this time, the general manager led Erina Nakiri into the kitchen. Nakiri Erina's nose twitched, and without the general manager's introduction, she quickly came to Yan Kai and ate while staring at Yan Kai. Half of them were walking in the snow looking for bears, but their stomachs that had been filled by Palm of the Universe actually felt hungry again.
"Excuse me, are you the cook who made that 'World in One Palm'?" Nakiri Erina swallowed her saliva and asked, without taking her eyes off the Snow Bear while asking.
Yan Kai moved the plate containing Snow Bear Hunting towards him without leaving a trace, looked at Nakiri Erina with eyes as if to guard against thieves and said: "It's me, what are you doing?"
"Can you let me try your cooking?"
Nakiri Erina finally couldn't help it anymore and said a little embarrassedly.
For many years, others have always begged her to try food. The last time she asked for food, it was Joichiro-sama's food. Unexpectedly, today, such extraordinary food appeared in front of her again that people simply couldn't refuse. Cuisine.
Yan Kai moved the plate towards him again and refused simply: "No."
"Why!"
He was actually rejected!
"God's Tongue" Nakiri Erina couldn't help but be surprised, and finally pulled her gaze away from looking for bears in the snow and turned to Yan Kai.
With an unrivaled appearance, the man in front of her was unbelievable. He looked about the same age as herself. His eyes were deep and captivating. Nakiri Erina could not help but fall in after just looking at it for a while. She hurriedly looked away. Don't dare to look at him again.
What's going on with this man? Why is his look so... so...
Nakiri Erina blushed and didn't know how to describe Yan's eyes.
At this time, Yan Kai said coldly: "I don't have the habit of sharing food with strangers."
"Bold, do you know who is standing in front of you?"
Nito Hisako was filled with indignation, stood up from behind Nakiri Erina, and scolded Yan Kai. However, after seeing Yan Kai's eyes, he immediately reacted with Nakiri Erina and looked away.
"This, this is the 'God's Tongue' Miss Nakiri Erina, she is the most outstanding food critic in Japan. It is your honor to be willing to eat your food..."
Nito Hisako stammered.
This, these eyes... I can't stand it, I really can't stand it!
Nito Feisako's heart was like a deer, he wanted to be strict, but he couldn't be strict no matter what.
Yan Kai looked away from the two of them and turned to the general manager.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
The general manager turned into a heartless bowing machine and did not dare to look at Yan Kai at all.
As long as I bow fast enough, he can't keep his eyes on me!
It's not that the general manager has a weak waist and bows when he sees people. Nakiri Erina really can't afford to offend her, but Yan Kai... Yan Kai's eyes are so scary that the general manager gets goosebumps all over his body when Yan Kai takes one more look at her.
He swore that even when facing the big boss of Xinchuanlou Headquarters, he had never been so frightened.
"As I said, I don't see anyone else during working hours." Yan Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Without the huge glasses blocking it, Yan Kai's expression became much more vivid, and his impatience was palpable.
"Yan Sang!"
After all, Nakiri Erina was not an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl. After the initial loss of consciousness, she quickly cheered up, restrained herself with the greatest perseverance, and tried her best to use the calmest tone and said to Yan Kai: "I am Totsuki. The heir to the group, Nakiri Erina, is quite famous in Japanese cuisine circles. She considers herself an excellent food critic. Can you please let me taste your cuisine? I am quite confident in my taste. Whatever the advantages and disadvantages of your cooking, I am confident that I can find them out!"
This is Nakiri Erina’s confidence as the “Tongue of God”!
Yan Kai glanced at Nakiri Erina, chuckled and said, "Did you find any shortcomings in the One Palm Universe I just taught you?"
With just a slight glance, Nakiri Erina's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed with shame: "No, no, that's a perfect dish!"
Even the "God's Tongue" couldn't find any flaws in such a perfect dish. This was a fact, she had to admit it!
But it seemed that she had just spoken big words, so Nakiri Erina felt a little ashamed.
"Then why do you think you can find the flaws in my dish?" Yan Kai said coldly.
He is not a professional cook, but he has always had full confidence in his cooking skills. How could he allow a little girl to point out his dishes? Does she deserve it?
"I……"
Nakiri Erina was silent. In front of a cook who could make a perfect dish like "One Palm of the World", her previous confidence and arrogance were no longer worth mentioning.
"Then who!"
Yan Kai suddenly shouted in one direction: "That one in the third row, second from the left, why do you put so much salt in it? Do you want to kill someone? Do it again!"
The chef at the position that Yan Kai called out shivered violently. He just accidentally sprinkled a little more salt. He thought that the diners wouldn't be able to eat it, so he let it go. Who knew that he had just stir-fried a few times? It was actually directly pointed out by Yan Kai.
"Yes, yes, I will do it again!"
What else can the chef do? He can only dump half of the dishes into the wet trash can, take a note, wait for the bonus to be deducted at the end of the month, and then make a new one.
The back kitchen of Xinchuan Building has 5 horizontal and 6 vertical, thirty ordinary cooking stations, plus one special cooking station for the chef, for a total of thirty-one cooking stations.
Yan Kai stood at the chef's seat, where he could have an overview of all the other ordinary chef's seats. However, he was talking to Nakiri Erina and others, and he never glanced at the ordinary chef's seat. How could he Did the chef who knew that location add a little more salt?
"Don't think you can fool me just because I don't have my eyes on you. Even if I don't have my eyes on you, I can still tell what your food looks like by smelling it with my nose!"
"Everyone has some snacks!"
Yan Kai reprimanded the chefs. The chefs did not dare to speak for fear that their saliva would fall into the dishes. They could only nod their heads vigorously. Yan Kai turned around after looking satisfied.
Nakiri Erina was very surprised by Yan Kai's behavior.
I'm not surprised that Yan Kai reprimanded the chefs. In the back kitchen, the chef has absolute majesty, especially in Japan where the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors is very strict. Yan Kai is already good-tempered.
If it were Nakiri Erina, the chef who made the mistake just now is already settling wages with the finance department, and will also have an "incompetent" rating stamped on his resume.
What surprised her was how Yan Kai could immediately tell that a chef had added too much salt just now. Even if it was Erina Nakiri, if she was asked to taste it, she would of course be able to taste it, but she would have to smell it, and it was With so many people cooking at the same time, all kinds of smells are mixed together in the kitchen...
I heard that there is Ryo Hayama in the first-year department of Totsuki Academy who is known as the "God's Nose". He might be able to do it, but at least Nakiri Erina doesn't have this ability.
Is this the reason why he doesn’t even pay attention to me, the “Tongue of God”? But food cannot be fully appreciated by smell alone!
Nakiri Erina, who thinks she has understood Yankai's strength, feels that she can do it again.
Yan Kai didn't care that there was anyone in front of him and continued to enjoy walking in the snow to look for bears. He gently picked up the tribute pear lotus used for decoration and took a small bite.
Well, it wakes up the stomach and refreshes the mind, which is good, but...
"Then, don't buy this tribute pear from now on. Don't you dare to bring over those that have been wetted by the rain before picking? Do you think my tongue coating is two centimeters thick?"
Yan Kai said to the general manager.
Yes, Yan Kai didn't remember the general manager's name.
Yan Kai can't remember the name of the chef in the kitchen. This is normal. After all, there are more than 60 people working in the kitchen including shifts. It's normal not to remember. But Yan Kai doesn't even remember the name of the general manager. This is It’s really...
"Yes, yes, what Yan Sang said is true. I will tell the purchaser about this in a moment!"
The general manager did not doubt Yan Kai's judgment at all, and nodded and bowed.
Everything in this world may go wrong, but Yan Sang will never be wrong!
Nakiri Erina was moved in her heart. Seeing that there were a few left-over tribute pears on the cooking table, she asked Yan Kai, "Can I have one?"
Yan Kai made a casual move, letting Nakiri Erina do as she pleased.
Those tribute pears are not among Yan Kai's dishes, so Yan Kai naturally doesn't care.
Nakiri Erina picked up the pear and a knife, peeled it skillfully, then gently cut a piece of the crystal white flesh of the pear and put it in her mouth.
Well, it’s sweet and juicy, it’s definitely a top-quality tribute pear!
"God's Tongue" tasted it carefully, and finally tasted a very subtle hint of sourness in the thick sweetness.
"This Gongli has indeed been caught in the rain!"
Nakiri Erina is the proud "God's Tongue" in the Japanese cooking world. Just such a subtle sour taste is enough for her to judge the condition of this tribute pear.
This is probably because the tribute pears encountered a shower before harvesting, but they were picked quickly and the water was wiped off. The farmers did not take it seriously and sold the tribute pears as normal, but unfortunately they encountered Yan. Such a picky owner.
"Best regards, Miss Nakiri!"
The general manager said with admiration.
Hearing the general manager's praise, Nakiri Erina was a little unhappy.
Yan Kai mentioned something before, but the general manager didn't ask anything and agreed directly, which shows that he trusts Yan Kai's judgment very much; there is no surprise, which shows that he has long been familiar with Yan Kai's ability.
For a person who always gets 100% on exams, no one will be surprised if he gets 100% on exams.
But does this also mean that Yan Kai’s taste is equally excellent, and the attraction of “God’s Tongue” to Yan Kai is gone?
In Japan, no chef can refuse the recruitment of the Yuanyue Group, because the Yuanyue Group has the "God's Tongue", and the "God's Tongue" has the supreme magic power to push the chef's cuisine to a state of perfection.
However, if the person recruited by the Yuanyue Group also has a taste that is not inferior to the "God's Tongue", can the olive branch of the Yuanyue Group still be as unfavorable as before?
Nakiri Erina was horrified to find that the biggest bargaining chip she could give was actually ineffective against the cook in front of her!
"Miss Nakiri's 'God's Tongue' is really amazing!" The general manager said to himself, "But Yan Sang's taste is not bad at all."
"Last month, our Xinchuan Restaurant received a batch of A5 beef. It was Yan Sang who tasted something wrong. Otherwise, our Xinchuan Restaurant's signboard would have been smashed!"
The general manager rambled on, carefully observing Nakiri Erina's expression as he spoke.
Did he say this unintentionally? Of course not, he was emphasizing Yan Kai's ability to Nakiri Erina.
At the beginning, the general manager didn't know the purpose of Erina Nakiri's visit. He just thought that Yan Kai's fame had become so great that even the "Tongue of God" was alarmed, and he felt a little proud.
But after Nakiri Erina asked to see Yankai, the general manager didn't dare to refuse on his face, but he became wary in his heart.
Especially since he told Yankai not to see guests, Nakiri Erina still refused to give up and wanted to see her even though she was wronged. This made the experienced general manager suddenly wake up. This Nakiri Erina was probably a drunkard. The intention is not in the bar!
But the general manager is not too worried, because he knows Yan Kai's urinary nature better than anyone else, and Yan Kai is not someone who can be poached if the conditions are good.
The speaker is intentional, and the listener is equally intentional.
Nito Hisako whispered to Nakiri Erina: "Miss Erina, I seem to have heard about this matter. Didn't Mito Yumei take leave some time ago? I heard that she was going to deal with this matter."
Mito Ikmei is a first-year student of Totsuki Academy's Advanced Department and a follower of Erina Nakiri.
Nakiri Erina is the heir to the Totsuki Group, the leader in the Japanese restaurant business. She has been surrounded by many children of famous Japanese restaurant business families since she was a child.
The "Mito Meat" run by Mito Yumei's family is the leader in the Japanese beef industry. Something seemed to have happened to Mito Meat a few days ago. As the heir, she asked for leave from school. Specifically deal with this matter.
"What happened?" Nakiri Erina asked in a low voice.
There was some hesitation on Nito Hisako's face, but he still answered: "I heard that when someone tried to eat A5 beef, they found that the beef cattle drank alkaline spring water. Mito Meat has gone to the ranch for verification and found that A rock cracked at the source of the spring, and trace amounts of alkaline substances flowed out, which had a very subtle impact on the water quality of the spring."
This news sounded really unbelievable, so Nito Hisako just thought it was hearsay and didn't believe it at all, so he didn't tell Nakiri Erina before.
