Upon learning that she could become a Chef at the Izakaya, a warm smile couldn't help but appear on Kuguchi Sonoka's face.
Although it was only a verbal agreement, she clearly understood that her life trajectory had quietly changed from this moment on!
And for the Izakaya, it meant that after almost two months, it finally welcomed its first employee.
"No need for guidance, just don't cause trouble."
Sosuke shrugged, saying with a slight jest.
A Chef's primary function is to assist the Chef with various chores, such as:
Preparing ingredients.
Washing vegetables and cutting meat.
Cleaning.
Maintaining various kitchen items.
Furthermore, depending on the restaurant's situation, the actual work content will also vary.
For example, a typical Japanese restaurant requires Chefs to have experience in gutting fish, slicing sashimi, preparing saury, and other skills!
Then, Sosuke's Izakaya, because it has a rule where diners can order whatever they want, actually has more stringent requirements for the Chef position than a typical restaurant.
Of course, Kuguchi Sonoka was, after all, a former Totsuki graduate.
So, in his eyes, recruiting her as a Chef might not be bad; it might not be a bad thing at all.
…
Subsequently, the two talked very happily.
It was just a pity that night had fallen deeply, the cold dew was heavy, and they had drunk a bit too much.
Kuguchi Sonoka felt sleepy early on and could only yawn as she bid farewell to Sosuke, returning to her room to sleep.
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the special mission: recruiting an employee within one week."
"Special reward: a special kitchen utensil, the unbreakable Beichen Tianlang Blade * 1!"
As soon as he returned to his dorm, the system's voice rang out again.
It is well known that the Beichen Tianlang Blade can preserve the freshness of sea bream with its extreme cold temperature, thereby allowing the flavor of the Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain dish to reach an extreme level.
However, this special kitchen utensil had a fatal flaw: it was for single use and would be directly scrapped afterward!
But this special kitchen utensil rewarded by the system, the [Unbreakable Beichen Tianlang Blade], could be used infinitely without any negative effects.
Such a reward naturally made Sosuke both surprised and delighted.
Currently, apart from fresh sea bream ingredients and the unbreakable Beichen Tianlang Blade, only one special knife technique was missing:
Luo Han Crystal Cut!
And with Sosuke's current cooking skills, even without Luo Han Crystal Cut,
He could still elevate the flavor of Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain to a level that would satisfy Nakiri Mana!
But as the saying goes, 'it's better to have more skills than less,' so if he could have the enhancement of Luo Han Crystal Cut, it would certainly be even better.
…
For people tired day and night,
Being able to eat their favorite food in such an Izakaya is undoubtedly a very happy thing.
Although sometimes the dishes offered are just simple home-cooked meals and snacks,
After swallowing them, they can always warm the entire empty stomach, soothe the restless heart, and comfort people through the overly quiet night!
Occasionally, for regular customers who frequent the place,
The handsome Shopkeeper Zhang even knows their favorite dishes.
So, even if they sit down and don't say a word, he can still serve them their favorite dishes.
And everyone couldn't imagine that such a small place as the Izakaya seemed to be full of endless imagination, capable of producing all sorts of interesting dishes in Sosuke's hands!
…
The next day, evening.
The Izakaya was still open as usual.
However, when some regular customers arrived, they were surprised to find an additional Chef.
And she was also the Shopkeeper of the Spring Fruit Pavilion Western Restaurant next door:
Kuguchi Sonoka.
She scooped flour from the bag, then gently tapped the flour scoop, not letting a single speck of flour fall outside.
Adding an appropriate amount of water, she then quickly and deftly kneaded it.
After all the water was absorbed by the flour, she continued to rub and mix the flour repeatedly with her hands, making it into many small flour flakes.
Afterward, she sprinkled some more water, stirred it with her hands, and kneaded the small flour flakes into lumps of small dough.
