Island nation of Kyoto.

Owned by the Water Moon Group, the Royal Restaurant.

Back kitchen.

Megumi Kitaoka, dressed in a white sè chef's suit, is personally instructing the chefs of the team to handle several difficult dishes.

Today a well-known French politician came and wanted to eat authentic French food.

As one of the few three-Michelin-starred restaurants in the island country, it is customary to host dignitaries and dignitaries.

But this is a guest personally received by Vice President Hyuga, so it must be treated with caution.

The blonde Frenchman wears gold-rimmed glasses and looks polite and gentlemanly.

Dinner was a few dishes, authentic and appetizing.

I tasted the taste of my hometown.

The main course that amazed me the most was the lamb of Aveyron.

The French department of Aveyron is the place where he was born.

The lamb is made of the Lakone breed, a lamb that is about 90 days old.

Lambs have been feeding on their mother's breast milk since birth.

In addition to the rigorous feeding process, it will also undergo strict screening before production.

Firm meat, pink meat, with a little white sè......

Only lamb that meets the top standards can be labeled with a red sè.

Different parts of the sheep should be eaten differently.

Megumi Kitaoka cooks in three different ways.

The meat of the saddle part is the leanest and the most flavorful, which is roasted first and then fried;

The sheep rack has more fat and has a sweet taste, so you can simply fry it in a pan;

The neck of the lamb is the most tender, and the lamb is chopped and inserted into an eggplant with local Roqueft blue cheese.

"It's amazing, I want to meet this female chef. Henry said with a smile.

"Wait a minute!" Vice President Hinata nodded towards Kawashima Vano.

Kawashima walked out of the box with a smile on his face, and whispered to the waiter, "Chef Kitaoka, please come to us, the vice president's guests want to meet her." ”

In French cuisine, it is the best courtesy for guests to invite the chef and thank them in person.

Henry soon meets the young Megumi Kitaoka.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a female chef, almost in her twenties.

Vice President Hinata took the initiative to smile and introduced, "This is the youngest chef in our restaurant right now. ”

Henry wondered, "Why are you so young, how can you make such a top-notch Aveyron lamb?" ”

Megumi Kitaoka explains, "I traveled to the Aveyron department in France two years ago and met a top local chef, and after talking to him, I learned how to make Aveyron lamb. ”

"This top chef can't be Adrian!" exclaimed Henry in surprise.

"Yes, Adrian indeed. Megumi Kitaoka replied with a smile.

"No wonder I got his taste out of this dish, you're so good. To be precise, you handle this dish more delicately than Adrian. Henry raised his glass of wine, "Thank you for bringing me the taste of home in a foreign country." ”

Megumi Kitaoka gracefully took the glass from Kawashima Vano.

A slight collision with Henry's goblet makes a tinkling sound in response.

After Vice President Hinata and Henry leave, Kawashima met Megumi Kitaoka, who had taken off her chef's uniform and changed into clothes.

He wears a white sè coat on his upper body, a black sè skirt and high heels on his lower body.

There is no difference between women from other island countries.

The makeup is delicate and elegant, revealing a sweet and pure beauty.

"Your performance today is very good, and you have been praised by Vice President Hinata, and your position will be more secure in the future. Kawashima said happily.

"Oh, really?" Megumi Kitaoka smiled.

For her, actually

It's about getting the day's work done.

When the guest's message is passed on to her, Megumi Kitaoka knows how to please the guest.

She succeeded, but she wasn't happy.

Perfectly copied from other chefs, like a repeater, the dish lacks a soul.

You may be able to deceive your customers, but you can't deceive your heart.

Since Huaxia participated in the World Cooking Exchange Conference, she has been in this state of depression, not caring about winning or losing, but she has discovered her biggest flaw.

Success is also copied, and defeat is also copied.

When you store a lot of other people's things in your mind, you will subconsciously become someone else.

It's like living in someone else's shadow.

"I'll send you home!" Seeing Megumi Kitaoka's eyes fluttering, Kawashima Funo felt that his words seemed to be weak and weak, and he didn't please Megumi Kitaoka.

"No! I made an appointment. Megumi Kitaoka politely refused.

Kawashima Funo was a little annoyed by Megumi Kitaoka's love for him, "Megumi, are you going to torture me all the time?"

Megumi Kitaoka said seriously, "I never intended to torture you, it's just your wishful thinking. I told you that my life will be dedicated to cooking. I don't focus on the unexpected in the kitchen. ”

Kawashima Fumino said angrily: "No, you are my woman, I have to get you." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Megumi Kitaoka's wrist.

Megumi Kitaoka was ashamed and angry, and slapped her other hand Kawashima Funo's cheek.

Don't look at Megumi Kitaoka's weakness, her wrist strength has been tempered a lot.

slapped down, and almost whipped Kawashima Vano so that his parents didn't know him.

"You ......"

In the workplace relationship of the island country, the status of women is very low, and after the age of thirty, there is almost no room for improvement.

What's more, Megumi Kitaoka and Kawashima Fanno are still superiors and subordinates.

"Please stay away from me!" Megumi Kitaoka warned him.

He left without looking back.

Kawashima Vano looked at Megumi Kitaoka with a hideous face.

Aren't you afraid of ruining her yourself?

Although Vice President Hinata admires her very much, she is her superior, and it is not difficult to fire a chef.

Megumi Kitaoka did make an appointment.

She reached the Shinkansen and came to a residential area in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto.

Standing at the door of a two-story house, I rang the doorbell.

A skinny-looking old man wearing a kimono and stepping on clogs came over to open the door.

He is Megumi Kitaoka's mentor, known as a replica chef, the top celebrity chef in the island country - Rukawa Kosuke.

"Ah Hui, you're finally here. Your wife has been waiting for a long time. ”

Rukawa Kosuke likes his closed female disciple very much.

Not only because she is smart and beautiful, but also because she has extraordinary perseverance.

If you want to be a good chef, you need to be tenacious and persistent.

The master and wife prepared the flower tea, and Megumi Kitaoka drank two cups and praised them repeatedly.

Knowing that the two had something to talk about, the master pulled up the wooden door, leaving Megumi Kitaoka and Kosuke Rukawa behind.

"Rukawa-sensei, I'm still like that lately, I have lost my excitement about cooking any food, and I'm scared now, I'm afraid that I'll lose my love for cooking forever. Megumi Kitaoka's tone was filled with desperation.

Rukawa Kosuke sighed softly, "I knew you would eventually surpass me, but I didn't expect you to face this step so quickly." ”

Megumi Kitaoka was slightly stunned, "This step?"

Rukawa Kosuke laughed at himself, "It's not a good thing to have too much ability to imitate, because you will lose your soul." However, you are talented enough and still young to believe that you will take this step. ”

"How do you take it?

”

"Forget!"

"How can I forget?"

"Choose an unfamiliar environment and start over. Ah Hui, it's time for you to leave the royal dining room. Even though he is a three-Michelin-starred chef, if you continue to do it, you will only be the second Kosuke Rukawa. ”

"You want me to resign?"

"That's right. Start where you failed and relearn how to cook, which will be the key to breaking through the bottleneck. ”

Rukawa Kosuke encouraged.

Megumi Kitaoka's eyes showed a complicated sè.

She had a lot of peace of mind in her heart.

For example, father, and for example, the honors he once received.

But the pursuit of cooking must be a trade-off.

"Teacher, I know what to do!"

Leave Kosuke Rukawa's house and return to the house he rented.

Megumi Kitaoka took a hot shower and had just stuffed her clothes into the washing machine when her phone rang.

There was a stepmother's voice from inside, her voice was not high, and her tone was clearly teaching herself.

"Ah Hui, you actually beat President Kawashima, are you crazy?"

"That's right, I'm crazy!"

"How can you talk to me like that?"

"I don't like you interfering in my life, tomorrow I will give you a sum of money, you can rest early. ”

Megumi Kitaoka hung up her stepmother's phone and sighed softly.

How difficult it is to cut off six roots.

However, as Master said, if you want to take this step in the kitchen, you have to make this decision.

Kawashima waited all night and did not wait for Megumi Kitaoka's apology.

If she is willing to apologize, Kawashima will consider forgiving her.

Kawashima Fumino could not bear this humiliation and was ready to consult with the personnel department about whether to give Megumi Kitaoka a serious warning.

The cell phone rang, and Vice President Hinata called, in a bad tone, "You come to my office." ”

Kawashima was inexplicable and soon arrived at Vice President Hinata's office.

"Look at this!" Vice President Hyuga tossed a page to Kawashima Vano.

Kawashima Bono picked it up on the ground, and his eyes showed a look of astonishment.

"Ah Hui, resigned?"

Vice President Hinata walked up to Kawashima and kicked him in the abdomen.

"Baga, you bastard, you were in the restaurant last night, and you tried to be rude to her, which angered her, that's why she resigned. ”

Kawashima was caught off guard, "Did she tell the whistle?"

Vice President Hinata sneered, "Are you not admitting yourself?" She didn't say any reason, but the results of my investigation. You bastard, you want a woman, what kind of woman can't you find in Kabukicho, you have to attack the group's most potential female chef. ”

"I'm pursuing her and just pulled her wrist yesterday. Kawashima explained aggrievedly.

Vice President Hinata sneered, "I advise you to quickly make her change her mind, otherwise the group's plan to win four stores at a low price in France will be ruined." Yesterday, Henry made it clear that Megumi Kitaoka would be the head chef of these four restaurants. If the project fails, I will be honest about your mistakes at a high-level meeting. ”

Kawashima Fumino said with difficulty: "I will try to convince her." ”

Originally, I was going to get some small shoes for Megumi Kitaoka to wear.

Who would want to hit her and resign directly?

Kawashima's ambition is like a mess.

Walking out of the vice president's office, I immediately called Megumi Kitaoka, and waited for a busy signal.

called Megumi Kitaoka's stepmother again, only to learn that Megumi Kitaoka gave him a bank card of 16 million island coins today, announcing that he was going to leave the island country for a period of time.
