Nishino Renyin thinks that his idea is very good, he is about to start preparing for the upcoming God of Food Competition, most of them don't have time to come to the store to help grandpa, it is better to recruit another person to help - no matter how tough the old man is, he is also old, and having a help can make him much easier.

And he may not be a chef in the store every day in the future, in case he has other interests in the business, then he can hand over the position of chef to Zhongzhong, and at the same time ensure that the old man's craftsmanship will not be broken. Nakachu is also his sword, and his loyalty is undoubted, and it is very reassuring to hand over the chef to him, in addition, theoretically Naka's lifespan is incomparably long, and there will be more time to find the next successor to the old man's kitchen in the future.

Then he looked at the old man with a surprised face, and said with a smile: "Let's continue to talk to you about this matter after it closes, you are busy first, and I will take Zhongzhong to familiarize myself with the situation in the store." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the back kitchen with Zhongzhong.

The old man was a little confused, what is the situation, he still hasn't agreed, why is this kid Lianyin talking to himself? Am I okay with that? Why did you bring people here without consulting me beforehand, you didn't even take your grandfather and me seriously!

Hmph, this kid has pretended to be a good child for a month and a half, and now he has really revealed his unruly nature, which is really infuriating......

Immediately, he glanced at his grandson's back, snorted coldly, lowered his head and continued to debone the fish - forget it, give his grandson a little face first, and it is not too late to refuse if the child behaves poorly.

Greeting the customers in the store, Nishino Renyin took Nakaka to wander around the lobby of the store and the backyard for a while, and confused the three hours a little half-fishing, and by the way, the basic knowledge that the old man taught him at the beginning was also filled with all the cramming. At ten o'clock in the evening, after the store closed, Nishino Renyin walked to the kitchen counter with Nakachu and saw the old man looking at them with a straight face.

"Your name is Nakachu, right?" The old man asked with a dignified face.

"Yes, Grandpa Nishino." Nakaka said respectfully, although he was older than everyone in the entire store combined, he was used to thinking of himself as a junior, and his appearance would not grow old with age, so he had never been treated as an elder by others.

"Do you know how to cook?" The old man asked again.

"A little." Zhongzhong said honestly, he has lived for so long, even if he has not studied cooking, it is normal to know a little about cooking.

"Cut a turnip and show me." The old man took a thick and long white radish and put it on the kitchen counter - how a person's cooking skills are, just look at the knife work, the child in front of him is so young, it is estimated that the dabbling in cooking skills will not exceed one or two months at most, and he doesn't ask for anything, and he can cut it to a thickness of almost pass.

And he didn't plan to complete the inspection at one time, whether he was qualified to be his apprentice or not had to be observed for a long time, what was needed was not only talent, but also character was an important indicator, and it would take a month to draw a conclusion.

After a month's time, if the child behaves unsatisfactorily, then he can justifiably and ruthlessly show his love to his grandson.

Is it enough to cut turnips? It's that simple? Zhongzhong was slightly stunned, glanced at the calm Nishino Lianyin, and then looked at the unfathomable old man, a little uncertain, and asked after hesitating, "What do you want to cut?" Do you have any special requests? ”

The old man was amused by his cautious expression - this little imp is quite interesting! At your young age, it's not easy to cut neatly, what more can I ask for? Let you carve a flower?

To be honest, if it weren't for the sake of taking care of his grandson's face, he wouldn't have bothered to inspect this kind of little kid, who didn't happily go to the park with his friends at this age to play in the park and enjoy his carefree childhood, but came here to learn to cook, he didn't know what to say.

"You just do your best to cut it neatly, neatly, evenly thick, and fast...... Do you understand the requirements? The old man said in a deep voice, it stands to reason that there is a restriction that must be added, that is, "the thinner, the better", but looking at the immature face of this little ghost, he can't bear to ask so much - it can't be said that he can't bear it, he is not such a soft-hearted person, mainly to give his grandson a face.

"Quick, neat...... Okay, I see. Nakaka took a deep breath, his expression looked quite serious, for him, this opportunity to work as an apprentice in the back kitchen was won for him by the master "with great difficulty", and he must not allow himself to make any mistakes.

He reached out and picked up the kitchen knife, and his fluttering movements made the old man feel a little surprised, after all, this kitchen knife is nothing to adults, and it is still quite heavy for this kind of seven or eight-year-old child...... Does this kid have more strength? The old man didn't think much about it, continued to look down, and found that the kid suddenly picked up the white radish, and then made a movement that he didn't expect at all—he gently threw the thick and long white radish upwards.

What is this doing? The old man was a little confused, while Nishino Renyin had a calm smile on his face. The white radish that was thrown into the sky soon began to fall, Zhongzhong raised the kitchen knife in his right hand, the movement looked like he was holding a sword, he drew a few cold rays in the air, the movement was dazzling, but it accurately broke down the white radish into flakes. The slices of radish kept falling, like heavy snowflakes, and finally became a neat row on the board, and the thickness of each slice was almost indistinguishable, which was perfect.

Seeing this scene, the old man's whole expression was sluggish.

What's going on? What did this kid do just now? This is already beyond the scope of comprehension, right? Is it a youkai? This kid is a monster, isn't he?

Even a Phantom Swordsman of his calibre couldn't show off his skills like this when he was young...... If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that there was a chef in the world who could do this, and he was still a child!

Seeing that the old man fell into a state of consternation, Nishino Lianyin didn't rush to say anything, and remained silent with Zhongzhong, waiting for the old man to come back to his senses. At this time, the old lady, Makino Maki and Adachi Asuka, who were busy finishing work in the store, also solved the busy work, they leaned over together, and looked at the old man in a petrified state with some doubts, and the old lady asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh...... That's the case, I think this kid in middle school has a talent for learning to cook, and he belongs to one of the genius children in a thousand cooking, so he can't miss it, so I want him to be an apprentice to his grandfather, and he can be counted as a second disciple. Nishino explained, "Grandpa is now inspecting him." ”

"Investigation? Investigate cutting turnips? This radish is cut quite well......" The old lady looked at Nakachu carefully, smiled kindly, and then said to Nishino Renyin, "Lianyin, how did you meet Nakachu?" The neighbor's child? ”

Most people don't take the initiative to make friends with their peers, not to mention that Nishino Renyin and one of them are high school students, and the other is suspected to be elementary school students.

So, Nishino Lianyin moved out a set of statements that he had already made a good draft, based on the current living situation of Zhongzhong, and then transformed the experience of the two acquaintances, creating an image of a good boy who was born in poverty but is kind and righteous - the real situation of their encounter is that a bamboo sword in Zhongzhong beat up a group of college students with dyed hair, and later found that the plot was reversed, and he mistakenly beat innocent people, but, in the adapted version of Nishino Lianyin, In order to uphold justice, Zhongzhong was beaten by a large number of bad teenagers with a blue nose and swollen face, but he insisted on not bowing his head...... In short, he is a very pitiful and very tough and kind good boy, and people can't help but want to help him.

And Zhongzhong, who was on the side, listened to this story, and his face was red with embarrassment.

He had actually had a similar experience before, but the perpetrator was Ibuki Kazuki, that is, the Ibaraki boy from the chaotic neutral camp, and now Nishino Renyin's description is purely fabricated, and he can't fight with the Ibaraki boy, so he has the urge to get into the crack in the ground with shame. But fortunately, he is not an upright Tie Hanhan, knowing that it is not good to dismantle the master's platform at this time, he can only lower his head, not daring to look at the old lady and Anda Asuka's pitiful eyes.

As for the other insider, Maki Makino sneered the whole time - this liar started again? It's okay to lie to monsters and female classmates, and now even the elders like grandparents don't let go?

"There is such a thing!" Anda Asuka was the first to hug the grievances, and said indignantly, it seems that she has begun to make up for the picture of her beating the so-called bad boy in the story with her fist embroidered legs.

"Son, you're suffering!" The old lady was uneven for the second time, and even looked like she wanted to cry, she reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she is a very emotional person, with developed tear ducts, and she can cry so much that she can use up several packs of pumping paper when watching prime-time soap operas.

Then the old lady immediately looked at the old man who had just lifted the petrification buff: "Old man, this kid has such a good character, why don't you take him as an apprentice?" As she spoke, the old lady's voice was mixed with a lot of threats.

Just rush to this kid monster-like knife work, I don't need you to say that I will accept it...... Of course, this can't be said, otherwise it will be too embarrassing, so the old man coughed, revealing the momentum of the top chef, and said in a majestic voice: "Okay, since the old woman has said this for you, then I will give you a chance to help the cook in the store for a month, and learn to cook with me by the way." ”

After a pause, he glanced at Zhongzhong and continued to say ruthlessly, "But if you don't satisfy me with your performance this month, then I will still drive you away, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Nakaka nodded hurriedly, glancing at Nishino Renyin with some gratitude at the same time, after all, without Nishino Renyin's help, he would definitely not have the opportunity to work in an izakaya, even if he was lucky enough to find a job, it would be uncertain whether he would be paid as a minor child at that time.

Nishino Nissan is a good host, and he was not mistaken!
