Chapter 6
What does cat food taste like?When you poke the poached egg, the yolk will flow out, and you can eat it after the egg yolk covers bonito flakes and rice.It was so intimate that Hua Shiyu couldn't help laughing.
"It's delicious. Why does such a delicious food have such an ugly name like cat rice?"
"It's because cats like to eat fish, that's the impression it gives people."
Yixin took advantage of the situation to pick up Wangong's rice, and reached out to hold the soup bowl.Although the speed is astonishing, perhaps because the posture of holding the chopsticks is very graceful, I don't feel panic at all, but very refreshing.Hua Shiyu happily picked up the soup bowl.
"Huh? This soup..."
The exquisite taste that is incompatible with the vulgar restaurant is amazing.He snorted contentedly.
"My father told me that although the store is dilapidated, the soup can't be sloppy. Although the prices of everything are rising in this period, this soup is the foundation of my store."
"Really? The previous store manager was an excellent cook."
Hua Shiyu said in admiration, Yixin just responded rudely "It's okay", but his side face looked very happy, and Yixin seemed to be a very shy person.Just as the two were enjoying breakfast in a warm atmosphere, there was a sound from the back door, followed by the sound of pattering footsteps approaching.
"Good morning--"
What appeared in front of the two of them was a young man with fluffy curly hair and a gentle impression. He should be older than Hua Shiyu.The interesting appearance resembles the Mexican salamander commonly known as the hexagonal dinosaur.
"Le Bu, didn't I tell you not to force yourself and take a good rest today?"
Yixin got up and ran to the six-horned dinosaur.
"It's just a cold, and I'm fine. Sorry to trouble you."
The six-horned dinosaur replied with a smile, but the corners of Yixin's mouth were bent into a ㄟ shape.
"No, your personality is to force yourself, I can't believe what you say."
After talking wholeheartedly, he touched the forehead of the hexagonal dinosaur with his own forehead, and then left the forehead after making sure that the other party did not have a fever, but still worried.
Hua Shiyu peeked at the interaction between the two from time to time. Judging from the conversation between the two, they should be in an employment relationship, but it feels closer than the employment relationship.Hua Shiyu was very concerned and couldn't look away.
"Is this your friend?"
After being greeted by the hexagonal dinosaur, Hua Shiyu got up.
"I'm George Hana Shigure, and I've been on duty since yesterday."
"Attendance?"
After the hexagonal dinosaur blinked, it covered its mouth with its hands with an "ah".
"It's the energetic old man who calls himself George... Ah, I'm sorry, I'm Koike Raku, a high school junior who is dedicated to his senior. I have been working at the restaurant last month for four years."
It turned out that it was because they had been in contact since they were students, so they were so close.Hua Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief somehow.
"Since you are here for work, it means that we will be colleagues from now on."
"Yes, please teach me a lot in the future."
Hua Shiyu stretched out his right hand, and Le Bu shook back with a friendly smile: "Everyone, each other." Then he quickly put on his apron and walked into the kitchen, but Yixin immediately grabbed him.
"Lebu, I'll just prepare the ingredients today."
"Ah, then I'll go clean the outside."
"Aren't you sick? At least rest until you open the shop."
Yixin is not only like a man, but also cares about his subordinates.In order not to embarrass his excellent master, he also had to work hard.After Hua Shiyu quickly but gracefully ate the rest of the cat food, he got up.
"Isshin, let me do the cleaning."
"Oh, is it? Then I'll trouble you. The broom is inside, and I can help water the potted plants by the way."
Hua Shiyu nodded, and was about to leave, but was held back.
"What's wrong? I'm healthy, don't worry about me."
"Who's worried about you? Clean that up before you clean it up."
Yixin pointed to the finished plate, it took so long to be so salty that it was unbelievable.
"I see, I have to clean up my used plates here."
Hua Shiyu said with admiration, but Yixin and Lebu looked at him with disbelieving eyes.
"Could it be that you've never cleared the tableware?"
Hua Shiyu nodded, completely astonished.Not to mention tidying up the tableware, Hua Shiyu hasn't even been in the kitchen since he was born, but everything has to be challenged and tried.
Yixin and Lebu stared at Hua Shiyu quietly carrying the plate to the counter. Being so closely watched, it was difficult for Hua Shiyu to ask how to clean it.He put the dishes on the sink, turned on the faucet first, and washed the dirt with the force of the water flowing from the faucet. Cleaning the dishes is quite simple.Hua Shiyu nodded, put the clean dishes in the basket, and returned to Yixin's side.
"It's finished. Then, I'll go clean."
As soon as Hua Shiyu turned around, he was grabbed by the collar.While saying "Come here," Yixin grabbed Hua Shiyu by the back of the neck like a kitten, and dragged him back to the kitchen.
"Take the sponge over there first."
Yixin gave strict orders, and Hua Shiyu obeyed obediently.
"Then put that on the sponge."
After picking up the dishwashing liquid labeled with business use by hand, as soon as you squeeze the bottle, a transparent viscous liquid will come out.Rub the sponge to create lots of fluffy white bubbles.
"Oh, this is fun."
Hua Shiyu smeared the bubbles on the plate, but was spanked.
"Don't just clean the surface, clean vigorously and carefully, even the outside of the plate. When putting it in the basket, put the plate upside down, otherwise the bottom of the plate will not dry."
Hua Shiyu heard the instructions one after another, nodded her head to show her understanding, and continued to wash the dishes excitedly.He was not discouraged by scolding and instructing him wholeheartedly. Instead, he was very curious about new knowledge and enjoyed it.After washing the dishes at his own pace, he faced Yixin who was watching from the sidelines.
"It's done."
As soon as Hua Shiyu reported, Yixin pointed to the wall clock.
"It's just the dish washer, soup bowls, and small plates, and it took 10 minutes."
"I'm sorry, but instead of worrying about time and finishing things sloppily, it's better to take the time to carefully complete every step of the details, also for the sake of the future - this is my father's admonition."
"Hmm... it's your father's admonition. Although there is nothing wrong with it, you have to pay attention to the time and occasion, and remember it well."
"I see. Then, I'm really going to clean this time."
Hua Shiyu walked towards the door energetically, but turned back as if remembering something.
"Couldn't it be that the quilt should also be carefully folded?"
Yixin's temples had blue veins, and Lebu hurried over when he saw it.
"One, Yixin senior, calm down, if you get too excited, it will affect the taste. I'll help Hua Shiyu. Hua Shiyu, let's fold the quilt together."
Lebu comforted him, and at the same time smiled at Hua Shiyu.Under the gentle guidance of Lebu, who is born to work hard, Hua Shiyu remembered how to dry and fold quilts, and also knew how to make a bed, but then, surprisingly, he cleaned the door of the store quickly and neatly.
"Hua Shiyu is very good at cleaning."
"Well, cleaning is a very basic job, so I'm used to cleaning. I can also clean the floor, and I know how to clean the windows. But I really appreciate the care of Agui."
"Ah, turtle?"
Lebu's eyes widened.
"Don't you know? It's a clown in the Bunraku puppet show. A female mask with funny faces, also known as Adofu, is also a well-known mascot that brings good luck. There used to be a maid in my family who looked very similar. That's why my grandfather called that older sister Agui and took good care of her."
In addition to smiling all over his face, he also has a hearty giggling temperament that complements each other, which is very popular with his grandfather.When Agui was about to resign and marry a man from his hometown, his grandfather made an exception and prepared a wedding gift.Not only grandfather, Hua Shiyu also liked this maid very much.
"Although your face is more like a hexagonal dinosaur than a tortoise, your gentle and caring nature is very similar to your sister, so you are the second generation tortoise."
"This... this is my honor."
Le Bu smiled with complicated emotions.After that, Yixin and Lebu were busy preparing the ingredients for the dishes, and Hua Shiyu followed the instructions, carefully folding one after another towels.
Slowly approaching the opening time of the store at [-] o'clock, it is finally time to start the real work.When the inner expectations gradually heat up and the store opens for business, the store door will open accordingly.
"Welcome light...huh?"
The person standing at the door was Sanada.
"Master Hua Shiyu, good morning, I have brought you your luggage."
"Oh, thank you. The innermost room on the second floor is my room. Help me get it up."
Sanada bowed, carried the suitcase, went downstairs, and returned the yukata in the plastic bag to Isshin.
"Oh, you are really careful. Ah Hua is doing a good job, so don't worry."
When Sanada heard the word "Ah Hua", he couldn't help frowning, watching Hua Shiyu carefully and delicately stacking the towels on the table in the corner of the shop, he pressed his brows and moaned: "It's so pitiful..." Then he used Wiping his eyes with his cuff, he slowly faced the counter.The back view of him sitting down with folded hands strongly reveals his determination not to leave no matter what others say.
"Mr. Sanada, if you didn't look at him, nothing will happen."
He said in a troubled voice.
"Please don't pay attention to me, because I am the caretaker and guard of Master Hua Shiyu."
"Even if you say that, we still have to greet our guests."
A burly man in a black suit and sunglasses with a serious face will give full play to the anti-lucky cat effect.Yixin muttered "Really", but Sanada whispered: "Salted mackerel set meal." Yixin asked back, "What did you say?"
"I am hungry,
