Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Bread Battle (Part 1)

In the early morning, as the alarm clock rang, the girl lying on the bed opened her eyes.

“Woo… What time is it?”

Azusagawa Tsukino rubbed her dry eyes and looked at the bedside table. She didn’t go to bed until around midnight last night because of reading. At this time, some still haven’t woken up.

“Is it just five o’clock? Then… good night.”

Tilting her head, the empty-headed girl was planning to sleep a little longer, but in the next second, memories from the past two weeks suddenly flooded her mind.

She remembered that in a while, she would start working – serving as a waiter for the ‘black hearted boss’ Xie Yunfei.

After running out of bed and washing up briefly, Azusagawa Tsukino went to the dressing room of the bakery downstairs, and took out a set of… maid outfits from her cupboard?

“Ha…” He sighed deeply. Although it was not the first time, Azusa Chuan Yue Nai still couldn’t understand Xie Yunfei’s hobby.

The maid outfit in her hand is not the traditional costume worn by the maids in Tsukino Azusagawa’s house, but… well, how should I put it? It is closer to the maid outfit in Akihabara cafe.

A short dress with a black base color, plus a white apron with a lace edge tied at the front. The upper body is short-sleeved, revealing a section of the upper arm, and then white gloves over the elbow; the lower body is a short skirt Two bows are tied on the edge with ribbons, and they are connected to a pair of socks of different heights through the absolute field.

Every time she puts on this maid outfit and looks in the mirror, Tsukino Azusagawa feels that she is a bad girl.

But there is no way, who made this an agreement?

Azusagawa Tsukino sighed again. According to the content of the transaction between her and Xie Yunfei, from the agreed date to the two months until the start of the World Dessert Contest, Azusagawa Tsukino needs to be Xie Yunfei’s clerk to help serve the dishes to the waiting diners, and then let Xie Yunfei have more More cooking time. In return, Xie Yunfei must pass the preliminaries of the dessert competition, and at the same time get a higher ranking as much as possible, and in an interview, he will promote Panta Gianan’s South Tokyo branch.

Xie Yunfei needed manpower, and Azusa Chuan Yuenai needed combat power. The two hit it off immediately, and even signed the contract.

As for the maid outfit in front of me, it’s just that boy’s bad taste… Well, probably.

At around 5:40, Azusagawa Tsukino left from the gate of the Pantagiana South Tokyo branch, and after walking for nearly 30 meters, came to the alley where Zhizhi Yunfei opened the store.

Like her, there were several housewives who got up early, as well as shopkeepers who had just opened their shops.

“Xiao Yuenai, are you here so early?”

“Tsukino-chan in this outfit is so cute.”

“Go away, you pervert, don’t even try to attack our Yue Nao!”

“However, little master Yunfei has a really good vision, and he would choose this kind of clothes.”

…

Facing everyone’s ridicule and praise, Azusagawa Tsukino could only smile wryly. Compared with when I put on the maid outfit on the first day, I didn’t even dare to go out of the dressing room, but in less than two weeks, I was able to chat and laugh happily with others in public, and I didn’t feel the slightest disobedience, Tsukino Azusagawa endured I couldn’t help sighing—it’s terrible to get used to this kind of thing!

“Oh, have you come yet?”

Generally speaking, like the surrounding residents, Azusagawa Yuenai would arrive five minutes earlier than Xie Yunfei because of the relatively close relationship. Today was similar to the past, with the sound of the locomotive, everyone saw Xie Yunfei riding on the cart in the distance.

Xie Yunfei seemed to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time. When he came to the corner of the alley, he raised his hand and greeted everyone with a smile.

“By the way, there are new dishes coming out today, please look forward to it.”

“Oh oh oh! Is it finally here? I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“Little Master Yunfei, you are lazy. You were so diligent a week ago, and you introduced a new dish in two or three days, but what about this week? Five days! It took five days to change the menu. You…you are sorry for us Is it?” It was Kobayashi Hong who spoke, and he had a very good relationship with Xie Yunfei, but thinking about it, listening to Xie Yunfei’s complaints in his free time, Kobayashi Hong and Tanaka Kikuko who claimed to be seventeen years old were the first two he visited when he opened the shop. As a famous diner, the relationship is naturally better than others, and Kobayashi Hong and Tanaka who often think about losing weight are not in harmony.At the same time, as long as it is a new dish launched by Xie Yunfei, no matter whether it is meat or vegetarian, he will buy a sample to try.

“My husband is also making noises during this period, saying that he is getting tired of breakfast in the past few days and wants to change it.”

“That’s right, that’s right, I strongly urge Young Master Yunfei to update the menu once a day, so that we can eat more.”

“Well said, I agree with both hands.”

Everyone was joking, and most of the people who came to buy Xie Yunfei’s food before six o’clock in the morning had become his diehard loyalists. Azusagawa Tsukino had heard about it, and since Jie Yunfei opened a shop on this street, that one The star restaurant has not been affected for the time being due to the different audiences, but the turnover of the Sambi Yalu main store has shown a downward trend.

As for the Pantagia South Tokyo branch… well, there seems to be no big difference between the daily traffic of 30 people and the daily traffic of 20 people.

“My side is also very busy, okay?” Xie Yunfei, who parked the cart at the designated spot, retorted with a smile, then moved out the tables and chairs in the dead-end alley, and waved his hand at the same time, telling Azusagawa Tsukino to run to help .

Unlike herself who was in a hurry on the first day, Tsukino Azusagawa can already be said to be an excellent waiter. After wiping the tables and chairs clean, she ran into the cart, took out the small blackboard that Xie Yunfei usually used to record menus, and hung it outside. His eyes quickly scanned the menu, and he remembered Xie Yunfei’s newly added dishes and their prices in his mind.

but……

“Huh? Bread?”

Azusagawa Tsukino rubbed her eyes, and looked at the young man not far away in surprise.

Not only her, other customers also showed more or less similar expressions at this time. They naturally know that Xie Yunfei is good at pastry, but in everyone’s impression, the boy in the cart should be the kind of chef who prefers Chinese pastry. Even the menu he provides is mostly related to Chinese cuisine.

What’s more, there is no oven on the cart, or, like the colorful salad, the bread has been prepared in advance and put in the storage room?

At this time, Xie Yunfei had just finished the preparations. He raised his head, and seeing everyone looking at him, he understood their thoughts in an instant.

“It’s because I didn’t make it clear. As for the bread, I have indeed already prepared part of it. The type changes according to my mood that day. As for today…” While speaking, Xie Yunfei walked to the storage room, opened the door, and opened the door. A special plastic box was taken out.
