Daily life in anime: Not the male protagonist of Asahi

""Manabu, here you are!"

As soon as he arrived at the back kitchen door, Uncle Takeda, who came out to throw away the garbage, smiled and greeted Yuan Qingkong.

Ever since the day of the interview, when Yuan Qingkong's knife skills impressed him, the uncle has been very kind to Yuan Qingkong.

Sure enough, ability is the basis for winning respect.

"Senior Takeda is also very energetic today!"

Yuan Qingkong walked into the staff preparation room, put his backpack into the cabinet, changed into the kitchen uniform, and walked to the preparation area.

Most of the ingredients have been prepared, and only those with extremely high requirements for ingredients will be processed before cooking.

The restaurant is a reservation system, so only a small amount of extra ingredients will be prepared in case of emergency.

For example, guests with VIP cards of this restaurant come to dine temporarily.

The busiest one is the chef Touka Kotori. When Yuan Qingkong is free, he will memorize her cooking techniques and recipes one by one in his mind, and his cooking level experience is also increasing rapidly.

Because it is the first day of work, the task assigned to Yuan Qingkong is not very heavy, and the main thing is to familiarize himself with the process. He was busy until 9 o'clock in the evening. Unless the guests add dishes temporarily, the kitchen work for the day is ready to start.

"Well done, junior."

"What do you want to eat for the staff meal tonight? You can choose from these remaining ingredients."

Yuan Qingkong worked neatly and did not make any mistakes on the first day. Uncle Takeda was very satisfied with this. Juhua never scolded him, which was her greatest recognition of Yuan Qingkong.

If her sister was half as obedient as him, she would not have to worry so much every day.

"Senior Xiao Niaoyou, if it's okay, can I be the one to make the staff meal today?"

Shihua, holding the spoon, looked back at Yuan Qingkong and said,"Sure, if it's not delicious, my salary will be deducted."

"If I can satisfy my seniors, can I be the one to prepare the work meals in the future?"

Everyone was very surprised as to why Yuan Qingkong made such a request.

Many odd jobs like him would leave work on time, but he took the initiative to take this job.

Facing everyone's doubts, Yuan Qingkong explained:"Because there is no open fire stove where I live, I don't have the opportunity to try many dishes at ordinary times."

"Now there is an opportunity in front of me to improve my cooking skills, of course I don't want to let it go"

"At least, I will make sure it is not bad!"

Seeing Yuan Qingkong's sincere look, Shihua agreed to his request.

When Yuan Qingkong was working, he would observe Shihua Takanashi cooking in his free time. His photographic memory allowed him to remember many dishes.

Yuan Qingkong chose four dishes and one soup as the employee dinner. The dishes were simple and served quickly.

The ingredients used were all leftover ingredients or some scraps.

The reason why he was in a hurry when cooking was because the ingredients and seasonings were not prepared in advance.

There is no need to worry about this in the restaurant kitchen. Yuan Qingkong prepared the auxiliary ingredients according to the dishes.

Next, you just need to follow the steps in your memory and control the heat and time.

Half an hour later, four dishes and one soup were placed on the table.

The seniors in the kitchen who had nothing to do gathered around, but no one dared to eat before Shihua started eating.

"You are really good, although I haven't tasted it yet, at least the appearance and taste of the dishes have made me hungry."

"Yes, indeed. It is quite good to be able to make it like this with the scraps."

Everyone praised.

Shihua finished her work and came over.

"Have you ever made these dishes before?"

"No, I copied them today after watching Senior Shihua cooking. Please give me some guidance."

Shihua took a small plate and scooped the food into the plate with a public spoon and tasted them one by one. Everyone was looking forward to her comments. Shihua looked at Yuan Qingkong meaningfully. Although there was no expression on her face, she ate every dish as she tasted it.

"Have you really never practiced these dishes in private?"

Shihua wiped her lips, and Yuan Qingkong looked into her eyes and said,"It is indeed my first attempt. I have to go to school during the day. It is impossible for me to practice secretly in the living classroom."

"I trust you"

"Putting aside the ingredients, these dishes are more than 80% of my standard. If you lower your requirements, you can be a chef in many restaurants."

""Great job, Yuan Jun!"

Uncle Takeda patted Yuan Qingkong on the back. He has worked in the kitchen for more than 40 years. When he was a chef, he also had many apprentices. He had never seen anyone so talented in cooking.

"Thank you, senior."

"These are the only dishes I know how to make. I'm still far from perfect."

"If you like, the evening staff meals will be yours from now on."

"Well, I'll give you an extra 1,000 yen a day."

Touka agreed to Yuan Qingkong's request.

"Thanks!"

……

At 9:30 pm in Shinomiya Villa, Hayasaka Ai was exhausted after a busy day.

Although she wanted to rest quickly, this was the only time she felt happy.

"How is the student council election going, Miss Kaguya?

Hayasaka Ai stood behind Kaguya, checking her schedule on her phone while chatting with her about unimportant matters.

"The most difficult student union president has resigned, and this student union has been disbanded. The remaining ones are not difficult."

"It was also thanks to him that he promised that idiot president of the Kendo Club to do something like this at the opening ceremony."

"Indeed, the eldest lady has already won the game."

"This time there is no recommendation from the student council president, so the eldest lady can definitely win by just voting."

"This is the schedule for the next week, please take a look, Miss."

As the eldest daughter of the Shigong family, her schedule is very tight, and many things are arranged a month in advance.

"Why isn't the reception on Saturday at the villa? But this Italian restaurant is also good. I remember going there once last year."

"Because the guests came from Italy, the chef of the villa is not good at Italian dishes."

"This high-end restaurant is also owned by the Shigong Group, so there is no problem with safety."
