Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

The Calculation Begins (Part 1)

Kyoto, an open space near Nijo Castle, inside a temporary tent set up by relevant personnel of the Food Research Institute.

“Huh? What is it? It smells so good?”

The speaker was a young woman who looked to be in her twenties. Wearing a staff uniform, she sniffed her nose twice, then nodded her head heavily, and her eyes were as bright as night pearls.

“Well, I didn’t smell it wrong, it seems to be… the smell of food!”

“You bastard is really hopeless, and you’re still thinking about eating at this moment.” ShaoNext to the woman, another woman who stepped down from the duty position shook her head, “Although Minister Saya signed an agreement with those monsters stationed in Nijo Castle, there will be no major problems in the next few days, but What if there is a greedy little monster like you who can’t hold back, grabs a young and beautiful girl like us and runs away?”

“He’s in his thirties, and he’s still young and beautiful~ It hurts!” Perhaps for revenge, the girl softly complained about her friend, although in the next second, she was punished with an iron fist by the other party.

Considering the absolute difference between human beings and monsters, even though they still dispatched a lot of non-cook-level food research staff, before leaving, Saya decided to tell everyone the real situation he was facing.

Even if it’s just a cook who has just passed the special chef qualification examination, as long as he has been there, his existence can be counted in the regular combat power of the Kyoto Gourmet Research Institute.

As for the staff composed of ordinary people or ordinary chefs who have not yet passed the special chef assessment, the purpose of their appearance at the scene of the incident with them is more to facilitate the special chefs to fight.

The transportation of various ingredients, the on-site construction of kitchen supplies, the monitoring of Nijo Castle, and the collection of safety information from surrounding residents—in fact, most of them have been persuaded to leave in the name of drills…

Although many special chefs are willing to carry out these things. But good steel needs to be used on good blades after all. If accidents that would not have occurred due to the reversal of the order, such a situation is the last thing everyone wants to see.

On the first day of employment, this group of staff members were personally interviewed and trained by the head of the Saya branch. If they are unwilling to take corresponding responsibilities after understanding their work content, Saya will not force them, but send them or their Transferred to a safer area, as for the remaining staff, both the salary and the speed of promotion are far faster than the former.

Even so, many people still choose to flee.

For example, a month ago, the team of girls and women had reached the standard 15 people, including nine men and six women, three of whom had passed the second-class chef examination, and one had a first-class chef qualification certificate.

But today, there are only eight people left in the entire team. The men’s side is barely enough, but on the girls’ side, it’s a pity that there are only two girls and two women left.

“I’m so tired.” The girl took off her coat, put it on a shelf not far away, and then lay on the ground in an unladylike manner, rolling into a ball. Know when it’s a head.”

“It should be soon.” The woman has been in this industry for almost ten years, and has experienced many big scenes during her time.

Although the high-level officials did not disclose many things because of the need to keep confidential, but according to the situation observed by the woman, in a similar state, they are full of plans, so they need to wait for someone to persist for another week.

At the end of the week, no matter what the outcome is, the head of the Saya branch should order the team to withdraw.

After explaining her guess to the newcomers in the team, the woman also took out her sleeping bag, and while beating and massaging her sore shoulders, she took off her clothes and lay down.

Although the girl was talking to the woman, she had already been exhausted by the day’s work, and within a few minutes of lying down, she was already snoring again and again.

“are you asleep?”

The woman asked softly. Seeing that the girl did not answer, she couldn’t help shaking her head.

“Hey~” Climbed up again, fetched pillows and blankets, and placed them under the girl’s head or on her body, “I’m already this old, and I still can’t take care of myself.”

Just as the atmosphere inside the tent gradually turned orange, several rays of light suddenly lit up in the open space outside.

What appeared at the same time as the light was the sound of footsteps.

“Xiangzi, Yuzi, are you asleep?”

The voices of colleagues sounded outside the tent, coming from other teams on duty tonight.

“Not yet.” The woman, or Xiangzi raised his head, which was about to do something bad, and reached out to pat the girl, or Yuzi who was woken up, on the forehead, “I’ll go and see.”

“En~” Perhaps she was still confused, Yuzu’s voice was very low, and her words were slightly vague.

Standing up, she put on her coat.

Xiangzi walked to the exit of the tent and untied the zipper.

“Did something unexpected happen?”

During the questioning, the gentle expression on her face disappeared, replaced by seriousness and caution.

“Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with those monsters.”

Standing outside the tent was the vice-captain of the other team. At this time, she was carrying several plastic bags in each of her left and right hands. Looking carefully, it seems that there are many cartons stacked in the plastic bag.

Seemingly aware of Xiangzi’s gaze, the vice-captain raised his right hand, signaling the other party to take a plastic bag away.

“Should we say that we are blessed this time? Your Excellency in Ertiao City just sent out a lot of dishes through Miss Qingqiuyuan, saying that it is a reward for our helpful employees.” The deputy captain said to himself, “You also I see, each bag is filled with glowing dishes that we don’t usually have the chance to taste, and there are quite a few of them, there are still so many in one round.”

“The one inside?” Of course Xiangzi knows who the other party is talking about. In fact, the staff of the Kyoto Food Research Institute, even if they are newcomers, will hear about Xie Yunfei, a somewhat special chef, under the bragging of the old people. , “But isn’t he dealing with the feather fox?Do you have time to cook for us idlers? ”

“I don’t know about that.” The vice-captain shrugged. “Perhaps what is very difficult in our eyes is not difficult for him?”

“That’s right. After all, he is a cook who is valued by Chief Shaye.”

“I still haven’t gone to the tents of a few teams. After this incident is over, let’s talk slowly at another time.”

“kindness.”

Send off the deputy captain and return to the tent.

I don’t know whether I heard the conversation between the two outside, or was attracted by the smell of the food. Yuzu, who was still nestled in the quilt, sat up. Not only that, but the girl’s eyes were watching closely at this moment. The bag Xiangzi was carrying.
