Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Dessert Contest (Part 1)

It was around four o’clock in the afternoon when Tsukino Azusagawa arrived at the Pantagiana South Tokyo branch.

Kinoshita Yinto was the only one in the store. As for the store manager… probably, he went to bet on horses again.

Azusa Chuan Yue Nai shook her head and smiled wryly. As one of the three granddaughters of the president of the Pantageya bakery chain, even though she was only born to her father and his mistress, the so-called concubine, she still has the right to inherit Pantagea.

Maybe it was to train his granddaughters, or maybe he just wanted to choose the best heir, Azusagawa Tsukino’s grandfather sent his three granddaughters to the three branches of Pantagia a year ago.

The older sister, Yukino Azusagawa, was sent to the Shinjuku Central branch of Pantageia, and the younger sister, Minato Azusagawa, was also sent to the very good New Tokyo branch because of her youngest age. Compared with them, Azusagawa Tsukino’s luck is a little bit bad. Although the Pantagiana South Tokyo branch where she is now is the base where she and her sisters compete for inheritance rights, the store manager Matsushiro Ken is not there all the year round. The only clerk Kinoshita The Yin man can only be regarded as an ordinary baker, and he can’t provoke the leader at all. If that wasn’t too difficult, then the main bakery of Sambi Yalu, which opened across the street, was the last straw that broke Pantagia’s South Tokyo branch.

Although many happyCustomers who like bread will come to this street, but their eyes are only on the Sambi Yalu main store. As for the nearby Pantagia South Tokyo branch, if you want to eat the most unique bread, why not go to the main store to buy it?

After Azusagawa Tsukino came to the South Tokyo branch, she has never seen her store make a profit. If the analyst at the Pantagia main store thought that a Pantageya branch across the street would be able to Disgusting Sambi Yale head office, perhaps Azusagawa Tsukino has withdrawn from the current heir qualification battle.

“what……”

Another sigh came out, and the girl who had already changed into the baker’s uniform started the daily bread making. As the granddaughter of the president and founder of Pantagia, not to mention Tsukino Azusagawa and Minato Azusagawa who started learning bread making at a very young age, even Yukino Azusagawa, the eldest sister who likes to see the big picture, also has good bread making skills.

Azusagawa Tsukino’s craftsmanship can barely be squeezed into excellence at her age. She just obtained the second-class pastry chef qualification from the Food Research Institute some time ago. Guaranteed balance of payments.

Pity……

Here Azusagawa Tsukino is making dough, but on the other side, the door of the branch store was pushed open, and the wind chime hanging at the door made her subconsciously shout “Welcome”, but after turning her head, she saw a very familiar “So it’s the store manager.”

Appearing at the door was a man with an afro wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, and sunglasses. The man’s name is Matsushiro Ken, but Azusagawa Tsukino and Kinoshita Yinto are used to calling him the store manager.

At this time, Matsushiro Ken was holding two large plastic bags in his left and right hands. There were several layers of plastic boxes in the bag. After hearing Tsukino Azusagawa’s greeting, he nodded and turned to Kinoshita Yinto beside the counter. Said, “Put all the plastic boxes inside on the counter for me.”

“Yes.” Kinoshita Yinren stepped forward, took the plastic bag, put it on the counter, and took out the plastic box inside.

It wasn’t until this time that Tsukino Azusagawa saw clearly what was inside the plastic box, “This is it?”

She naturally knew what was in the box, but if she remembered correctly, the nearest Chinese restaurant was five streets away.

“A mobile store just opened in the alley next door today, so I bought it and tasted it.” The store manager’s tone was very calm, and he had obviously tasted it in advance. After finding a place to sit down, he made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.

The relationship between the three of them is quite harmonious. Seeing the store manager like this, Kinoshita Yinto and Azusagawa Tsukino looked at each other, clasped their hands together, and said, “Then, I’ll start.”

With that said, the two picked up their favorite pasta with the disposable chopsticks that came in the plastic box.

Not to mention Kinoshita Yinto, Azusagawa Tsukino, who has a weak sense of existence, perhaps because she is a baker herself, she didn’t choose the nice-looking vegetable salad, but first picked up a steamed stuffed bun.

Cherry lips parted slightly, “Ah~”

In the next second, the rich broth flowed down the gap of the steamed bun into Azusagawa Tsukino’s cavity, completely conquering her sense of taste in the blink of an eye.

“Woo~~~~ This, what is this? How can it be so delicious?!” Azusakawa Tsukino covered her mouth, her eyes were wide open, and her face was full of surprise and disbelief. “It’s just ordinary pork stuffing, but the soup feels like it can overflow from the mouth, and why is the dough so soft?”

“As expected of Tsukino, have you really tasted it?” Takeshi Matsushiro folded his hands and smiled slightly. He used chopsticks to pick up a steamed bun from another plastic box and put it on the lid inside the plastic box. Then he stuck the chopsticks on the surface of the steamed bun, pressed down slightly to deform the steamed bun, and then immediately withdrew his hand.

The steamed bun that had been crushed into a piece of cake earlier, returned to its original shape in the blink of an eye at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“The owner of this small shop is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but his pastry skills are very good.” Takeshi Matsushiro glanced at Tsukino Azusagawa, implying, “Actually, Kinoshita Yinren also met him yesterday. , that little guy who bought one of each of the specialty breads in this store.”

“Ah, so it’s him.” Kinoshita Yinren’s memory can only be considered ordinary, but it’s impossible not to remember someone like Xie Yunfei who bought a lot of bread without saying a word. But then, after he realized it, the muscles on his face twitched violently, “The survival of this store is already very difficult, if there is another small store that sells Chinese pastries…”

Kinoshita Yinto didn’t say everything, but Tsukino Azusagawa and Takeshi Matsushiro understood what he meant. However, unlike Tsukino Azusagawa who also showed a worried look, Ken Matsushiro had a different opinion, “Don’t you think this is an opportunity for us?”

“What’s the meaning?”

Seeing that the two of them focused their attention on his own side, Matsushiro didn’t hold back. Raising his hand, he first pointed to the Sambi Yale main store across the street through the window, and then pointed to the calendar hanging on the wall of the small store, “If I remember correctly, the World Dessert Competition will start in two months , although it is not impossible for you to participate in the battle, but how many rounds do you think you can enter?”

Azusagawa Tsukino quickly shook her head, “Me? I can’t do it. Dessert and bread… Although the two overlap in some areas, they are completely different in more areas.”
