The accommodation location arranged by Battlefield Hara Zemi for Sikong Yao is an apartment not far from Dotonbori Food Street, although the room is not big, but the basic equipment is also sufficient, air conditioning and water heaters are naturally indispensable, the only thing that makes Sikong Yao feel a little uncomfortable is that there is no chair.

This apartment is also a traditional Japanese house, that is, a wooden house, and the entrance to the house is a place to take off your shoes, and the floor of the room is a piece higher than the ground, so you can step on the floor or tatami mat of the room after taking off your shoes.

Japanese housewives have to thoroughly clean the floor of their room every day, so the floor and tread rice in the room are very clean, so Japanese people are used to sitting on the floor.

In fact, tatami mats, like ramen, originated in China, and according to historical records, tatami mats were first born in the Han Dynasty, developed and flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and then spread to Japan and Korea during the Tang dynasty.

In the remains of the royal tomb in Xi'an, there were once burial goods with tatami mats. After the Tang Dynasty, due to the visit of Westerners, stools and high beds also began to become popular in China, while tatami mats were gradually in decline.

However, Japan has continued the tradition of using tatami mats, mainly because of the land area, Japan's land area is not large, coupled with the inherent area of primeval forests, in fact, the urban environment is quite thin, and the apartment of less than 20 square meters where Sikong Yao temporarily lives is concerned, it is already considered standard.

For a room of the same size, the cost of tatami mats is only one-third to one-quarter of that of a Western-style layout, and the effective use of space is immeasurable. Tatami mats have a variety of functions such as beds, carpets, stools, chairs or sofas. In the case of a small room, if you do not place beds, tables and chairs, etc., it saves a lot of space, which is also in line with the fact that the Japanese are small.

Shrugged helplessly, it seemed that during this cultivation holiday, he couldn't sleep in a comfortable and soft bed, Sikong Yao smiled bitterly. I immediately tried to touch the tatami mats.

The tatami mats are filled with cotton or foam. There is not much attention to it, and the material of the mat is very important. Generally, it is divided into rush surface and paper mat surface, which is relatively better breathable and suitable for bedrooms and rooms that are not often used. On the other hand, the paper surface is stronger and waterproof, so it is suitable for rooms with children, saunas, tea houses, and high use times.

Since this apartment is mostly for office workers or people who have just graduated and come out to work hard. Therefore, it is equipped with a rush surface. Weaving technique. It is different from the checkered tatami mats of Rensenmiya. It's a twill, and it feels quite good to the touch.

I felt good, but I had to get used to sleeping on a tatami mat all of a sudden. Sure enough, it was still not so easy, Sikong Yao tossed and turned for a long time this night before he barely fell asleep, and the next day he got up early, looked at the clock, and complained: "Sure enough, I'm still not used to it." ”

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and it was more than six o'clock in the morning, but according to the requirements of the battlefield Hara Sawami, it was eight o'clock that he had to arrive at the Renqian Taste House to make preparations.

Although he has the habit of sleeping lazy, he can't lie on the tatami mat at this time, and the helpless Sikong Yao just needs to find a place to eat breakfast after washing up.

Due to the unfamiliarity of life, Sikong Yao did not rely on the map to go to the place at this time, that is, there is Dotonbori Food Street, thinking that there should also be a snack stall where he got up early and greedy for darkness, so Sikong Yao decided to go there to have breakfast.

However, when she passed by the restaurant, she found that the store had already opened, and several employees were already busy.

Sikong Yao instinctively turned around and walked to the Ren Qian Wei House, although according to the meaning of the battlefield Yuan Zejian, she only needed to report at eight o'clock, but the flow of customers in the Ren Qian Wei House throughout the day was so huge, the preparations might have started earlier.

Sure enough, there were already a few employees in the store, cleaning all kinds of ingredients. When the employees saw that it was Sikong Yao who came in, they all smiled, but they were helpless and unable to communicate in language.

Sikong Yao walked in and found that everyone was washing vegetables, Sikong Yao thought to himself that although he didn't know Japanese cuisine, he should still be able to help if he was busy. So he pointed to the dish in the hand of a girl about his age, and then to himself, and motioned for her to help.

The girl hesitated for a while, and was about to hand over the work at hand to Sikong Yao, after all, if more than one person could help, the preparations for the lunch market could be completed earlier, which was definitely not a bad thing, but at this time, Sikong Yao's stomach coincidentally made a hungry grunt.

Sikong Yao blushed in embarrassment, so the girl giggled and pointed to a tatami mat and motioned for Sikong Yao to sit down, as if she wanted to get her some breakfast.

In addition to Western-style bread, eggs, milk, etc., traditional rice is also more common for Japanese breakfast, but of course there must be some dishes to eat, and this girl doesn't seem to have the time to make dishes for Sikong Yao, so she handed Sikong Yao two triangular rice balls.

Onigiri is a traditional Japanese food that is pronounced おにぎり in Japanese, meaning to knead with both hands. In Japan, rice balls that are made in the palm of your hand and with affection or affection have a special taste. For Japanese people, the rice balls made by their mothers as children are an unforgettable mother's taste.

Traditional Japanese rice balls are triangular in shape. The main ingredients are rice and seaweed. Even though their fillings may include meat or salad dressings, the rice balls are just the right size and don't fatten, so they are very popular with the Japanese. And the most fascinating thing about rice balls is the feeling of making them by hand. Because of the simplicity and portability, Japanese people don't forget to bring rice balls when they go out to enjoy cherry blossoms, go on an outing, or participate in sports events. It can be said that onigiri has become a traditional Japanese food.

Wet your hands with water first so that the rice does not stick to your hands. Then take a pinch of salt mixed with white sesame seeds and make the whole palm of your hand covered with salt flowers. Spread a bowl of freshly cooked rice on the palm of your hand, then gently knead it into a ball, dig a depression in the center of the rice with two fingers, put in the ingredients, then add a small amount of rice, cover the ingredients, hold the rice ball with your left hand, turn it with your right hand and knead it into a full triangle, put the kneaded rice ball in the center of the rectangular seaweed, and roll it up from both sides to wrap it. Put a little bit of ingredients on the head of the rice ball, so that you can know what the rice ball is made of.

The two rice balls that Sikong Yao got in his hands, one is a super sour plum rice ball, which fully awakens people's spirits and opens people's appetites. The second rice ball is filled with salmon, and the taste of the rice ball is different from that of sushi, and the vinegar is missing, and salt is used instead.

After eating the two rice balls to cushion his stomach, Sikong Yao immediately joined in the preparations for the Renqian Flavor House.

There are so many ingredients to be prepared in a day that Ren Qian Wei House is terrifying, just the salmon in the thaw has two big baskets, not to mention nearly four or five hundred catties, and the rice is in short supply, according to the later battlefield Hara Zemi's statement, Ren Qian Wei House has to prepare more than six hundred catties of rice a day.

Some of the local Japanese ingredients such as natto and pickled salmon Sikong Yao are not understood, so they can only do the simplest work of washing vegetables. After finally washing a basket of lettuce, there was a pile of bean sprouts waiting for her to pick, and after sighing helplessly, Sikong Yao moved the washed vegetables to a different position, and suddenly saw some flour for pastries in the distance.

Although the packaging on it is written in Japanese, Sikong Yao, as a pastry chef, will never forget the meaning of those two English words - cakeflour, low-gluten flour for dessert.

Sikong Yao suddenly wondered in his heart, does this Renqian Flavor House also provide pastries, thought about it, maybe it was a dessert such as a fruit, but at this time, there was a barrier in verbal communication, and body language would definitely not be able to indicate such a deep-seated problem, so in desperation, Sikong Yao could only secretly put this doubt in his heart for the time being, and was ready to ask after the battlefield Yuan Ze came.

The time lasted until eight o'clock, and when Battlefield Hara Ze came to Ren Qianwei House on time, he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart when he saw that Sikong Yao had already participated in the work.

As usual, Battlefield Hara sawami encouraged the employees to devote themselves to today's work with enthusiasm, and after receiving a full response, they also went to their posts.

As a sushi chef, it is essential to wipe down your knives to ensure their sharpness and cleanliness, as well as to maintain the various sushi molds used to make sushi and to start making sample sushi for display on the cabinets.

Sushi is a traditional Japanese delicacy and the main dish of Nizen Miya, and there are so many different types of sushi that Battlefield Hara Sawami prepares 60 different styles of sushi depending on the amount of ingredients in reserve.

Seeing that the work on the battlefield was so heavy, Sikong Yao was embarrassed to disturb him, so he could only continue with the work at hand. Today, the work assigned to Sikong Yao by Battlefield Hara Zemi is a follow-up officer in the background, mainly responsible for unifying the same type of cuisine, so that the chefs can cook in batches at the same time and save time.

To put it simply, it is to put a list with the same Japanese written on it, but in practice, this is not the case, in addition to consuming mental power, it is also quite a test of one's judgment ability.

This job requires Sikong Yao to be fully familiar with the types of dishes in the store, and according to the order of orders and the time of cooking, the order is gently arranged, which is a rather brain-consuming job, but it is also a job that Sikong Yao is currently capable of.
