Chapter 9 Eventually, there will be a one

As Chiho savoured the seafood ramen, he began to observe the layout of the place.

In the future, this will be the place where he works and learns, and it must be investigated.

"There are only a few waiters in the lobby who are responsible for reception, serving, and billing, and the kitchen seems to be isolated in the background, unlike many Japanese restaurants, where you can see the chefs directly at the front desk." Chihuo felt that this was understandable, after all, there were too many guests.

There are more guests, there are more cooks, and the kitchen is going to be bigger, so it is naturally not suitable to be placed at the front desk, so you can only choose to put it in the background.

Perhaps, this place has undergone several transformations before it slowly became like this. If it weren't for the good business, I believe they wouldn't have changed their traditional Japanese layout casually.

That's not bad, because it works wonders.

It gives you the feeling that it is the largest ramen restaurant in Konoha and that it is different from ordinary restaurants.

In order not to affect the business here, we do not occupy a place for no reason. Chihuo still chose to check out, and then waited outside for a long time.

This is also to avoid "tests are everywhere", saving one's performance from being noticed, and then deducting impression points.

It wasn't until the peak of business was past and there was no longer business in the store that he chose to return to the store.

At this time, Chihuo told one of the waiters his true purpose, and sure enough, he was taken directly inside.

Whoever comes to the door like this and wants to be an apprentice cook, he will not be the first, nor will he be the last.

The only thing that matters is that he will never be the one who is eliminated.

At this moment, Chihuo had been taken to a place that looked like a rest room, and soon a big fat man with the word "food" written on his clothes appeared.

"Is that you? Want to become our chef apprentice? This should be the middle-aged fat man of the Qiu Dao clan After looking Chihuo up and down for a while, he couldn't help asking, "Then, you can give me a sufficient reason for me to have to recruit you." ”

Chihuo understood that this one, even if he wasn't the manager, must be in a high position, so he replied seriously, "I can make a dish to prove my worth." ”

The big fat man couldn't help but be stunned, and was a little surprised for a while.

Because five-year-old children come to be apprentices, don't they usually start from scratch? That's why he arranged this kind of interview and asked questions like that, otherwise why bother.

The chef really wants to talk about cooking, but a five-year-old child comes to this set, and he still plays his cards according to common sense?

In the end, the big fat man who thought about it for a moment still made a decision, he was still ready to give Chihuo a chance to perform, so that Chihuo could make a dish that proved its value enough.

For this opportunity to perform, Chihuo cherishes it quite much. Because if he does well enough, then he will definitely not become an ordinary apprentice.

It's just that Chihuo didn't choose to cook other dishes, and finally made an egg fried rice that he was most familiar with.

That's right, when he practiced his cooking skills recently, he mainly chose to study various kinds of egg fried rice, and he is most familiar with egg fried rice.

The reason for this is because he knows that there are such glowing egg fried rice as "Golden Fried Rice", "Freshly Painted Shrimp Fried Rice", "Sour Plum Fried Rice", and "Mother Sun Ball" in "The Little Master of China".

In addition to the necessary preparations, instead of spending a lot of time researching other unfamiliar dishes, it is better to start with a basic dish such as egg fried rice.

As long as you have a solid foundation in cooking, it will be much easier to learn other things.

This time, the egg fried rice made by Chihuo is significantly different from the past.

The egg fried rice he made for the first time was only fragrant and delicious at best, and it didn't look very good.

The egg fried rice I made yesterday for Inuzuka and Ash Maru is just a little better.

And this time, his egg fried rice has a feeling of "egg fried rice should be like this" in all aspects.

Because of this egg fried rice, it basically achieves that almost every grain of rice is accompanied by eggs, which has reached a certain level.

This is because Chihuo now knows how to be attentive, so he is getting better and better.

The only pity is that it still can't shine in the end, and it doesn't have any drugs, and it won't even have brain supplements.

Chihuo knew that he was still a little short of something, but he was not too far from a real breakthrough.

At this time, the middle-aged fat man, as the interviewer, had already taken out the spoon and directly ate the egg fried rice.

Chihuo watched that the big fat man was expressionless, chewing and swallowing slowly, but he didn't say anything.

As the minutes ticked by, Chihuo wondered if there was really something wrong with his cooking......

Bang Dang!

The spoon fell to the ground, and the big fat man suddenly laughed: "Qualified, you are completely qualified." ”

Chihuo was speechless for a while, and this dead fat man knew that it was scary.

However, then the fat man began to whisper again, "Is this really a five-year-old child?" I didn't expect this kind of monster child to appear in the third ......"

What does this mean? Chihuo is a bit inexplicable.

With his ears, he could still hear the words more or less clearly.

Soon, Chihuo understood why.

Because he was taken to the real big kitchen by the big fat man, and also saw two incredible big people - the legendary Otsuki Ichiraku "Teda", and the future culinary ninja leader "Hagi".

It is precisely because there is a precedent that the big fat man thinks that he is the third monster child.

That's right, this year's hand-beating and octagonal are only five years old.

As the "Konoha No. 1 Ramen Restaurant", it is impossible to have only two children in the kitchen, Teda and Octagani, as the cooks.

But......

"You can go." The big fat man said to a young chef in the kitchen.

"What? What did I do wrong? Why am I leaving? The young chef was not convinced.

"It's not the first day you've been here, so it's impossible not to know that the 'elimination system' is practiced here." The big fat man said expressionlessly, "In addition to the official cooks here, we only need to recruit three chef apprentices, and the surplus will be eliminated." And now that there's a 'new person', that is to say, you have to leave. ”

Chihuo was stunned directly, this approach seems to be similar to the Yangquan Restaurant in "The Little Master of China", and it is also strictly regulated.

Of course, there is a difference between the two. The scale of Yangquan Restaurant is definitely larger than here, and the number and quality of the chefs are far higher than here.

And the reason why this "Konoha No. 1 Ramen Restaurant" is doing this now should also be related to the fact that Autumn Road takes the wind and wants to accept apprentices.

Ever since the news of the Akido Tori Wind came out, I'm afraid that all kinds of people will be mixed in with the various restaurants of the Akido clan.

Even though everyone knew that Akido wanted to recruit a ninja disciple, there were still people who tried it.

This led directly to the initial confusion caused by a large number of people who wanted to come to the door to become chef apprentices.

After a period of time, it gradually became the current elimination model, and a large number of people who were not good at cooking were eliminated.

In addition to the official chefs who already existed in the past, each restaurant of the Akido clan will only recruit three new chef apprentices, forming a standard ninja squad size.

Of course, every time a "newcomer" comes in, there will be an "old man" who will be eliminated.

If the eliminated person chooses to give up the qualification of the Cooking Ninja Training Program completely, they will be given another chance and then assigned to another location.

In addition, a restaurant of the same level as "Konoha Daiichi Ramen Restaurant" has higher quality requirements for chef apprentices.

In general, it is difficult for the "newcomer" to knock the "old man" out of the game.

So......

"I'm not convinced, I'm going to challenge him." The young chef, who was about to be eliminated, finally struggled, "I should have this right." ”

That's right, when a "newcomer" came to the restaurant, he actually had to have a fight with the "old man". After deciding the outcome of the game, it was confirmed who would stay.

It's just that this time it was Chihuo's level that impressed the big fat man in charge here, so he didn't mention this stubble.

The young chef understood this, of course, but he just didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

The appearance of two five-year-old cooking monster kids in a row is already a miracle, and now a third?

This kind of thing...... Who's going to take it!!

"Yes." The big fat man thought about it, but he was still willing to give the other party a chance.

Chihuo doesn't matter, he's never going to lose anyway.

The legendary Otsuki Ichiraku "Tetoshi" and the future ninja leader "Octagon", they all watched this scene silently, and they all smiled thoughtfully.
