Chapter Ninety-Seven: Absence and Let Me Come
Entering the world, Xia You said hello to Laixiang, and came to the cake shop with a light car.
The much less crowd on the day of the competition made Natsuyu a little uncomfortable, and when he saw Hikaru Kuroda, she was apologizing to a couple who had left in anger.
"What's going on?"
Xia You pointed to the waiters who were busy bowing and bending over the customers in the store, and asked in some surprise.
"Why are you here so late!" Kuroda Mitsuru shouted directly at Xia You unreasonably.
"Won't you be paid less if I come late?" Xia You replied casually, and in the store, he now seems to have come out of the bakery with white top hats.
Kuroda Hikaru glared at Xia You and wanted to speak, but Yu Guang swept the situation in the store and suddenly became depressed:
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you."
"So what's wrong?" Natsuyu mentioned Kuroda's stunts, he didn't like them hanging like this now, he liked to see them jumping high.
"Don't mess with my head!!"
Hikaru Kuroda gritted his teeth and glared at Xia You, hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"I can't provide anything to customers anymore."
"Isn't there a cake yet?"
Xia You was stunned and pointed to the display window, the cakes inside were fresh, and the fruits on it were also delicate.
"Go and try it yourself."
Hikaru Kuroda seemed to have lost his strength, and said weakly.
Xia Youhu glanced at her suspiciously, pushed open the window and picked up a piece casually and took a bite, the cake layer was a little hard, and the sweetness was a little greasy, and the cream looked like it had not been processed, and even the fruit tasted a little mismatched with the sweetness of the cake.
Xia You was slightly stunned.
"Does it taste completely different from usual?" Hikaru Kuroda stood beside Natsuyu, hanging his beard.
Xia You put down the cake and nodded.
The taste is not bad, but ordinary cakes can be found all over the world, and Kuroda's pastry shop is famous for its deliciousness.
But now, you can buy it anywhere you go out.
Xia You somewhat understands those couples who walked out with unhappy faces. Obviously, I came with great anticipation, and the price was not cheap, but the pastries I arrived at were not as good as those in ordinary family restaurants, and no one would be happy.
"The cake chef was absent. My dad told me that he seemed to be poached by someone else's high salary, and now he is fighting for it back. But I don't expect him to come back and clean up this mess today. ”
"Is there only one cake chef?" Xia You picked out the fruit and swallowed it in one bite, before wiping his hands.
"There is only one." Hikaru Kuroda smiled wryly at Natsuyu.
Xia You's movements of wiping his hands paused, and he looked at the white-clothed people wearing white high hats in astonishment:
"What about them?"
"It's all apprentices."
Hikaru Kuroda's undisguised words made several apprentices who heard it look ashamed, but she continued to complain regardless of it:
"For example, the frozen cakes in the store are sweeteners and flavors that our Kuroda family masters, and then the cake chef masters the recipe from ghee to cream. Usually the chef likes to make it himself, but now that he is gone, we can make the same cake as before. ”
"Don't you think this is a big disadvantage in the first place?" Xia You looked at Hikaru Kuroda a little speechlessly.
"What's the solution! The chef didn't like others to mix with the cakes he made, and he always stayed in the baking room every day, never absent, and there were no requirements, we were all used to it, how did we know that such a thing would suddenly happen! ”
Hikaru Kuroda's voice was a little loud, but the customers in the store were already gone, and the rest were just waiters and apprentices.
"Can't you do it yourself?"
Xia You felt like an idiot as soon as he said it, and sure enough, Hikaru Kuroda immediately shouted nervously:
"How? These people did it! The difference between making it is fundamentally different from before, customers are admiring it, and now if they make a little bit of it, they can taste it at once, not to mention that you have also eaten it, so much difference! These can only be thrown away! ”
The apprentices were so embarrassed by this remark that some even took off their hats. They are also uncomfortable, many people want to come to steal the master, but the master has always been a maverick, and occasionally shows his hands are also god-like complex hands, and they can't learn anything after helping to play for so long, and they can now make cakes with similar shapes and colors as usual, which is already a common wave.
There was silence in the pastry shop, and the customers who had not left also noticed the strangeness and hurriedly left, and soon the rest of the store staff looked at each other. A clever clerk had already run straight to close the door and hang up a sign for rest.
As Hikaru Kuroda said, they wouldn't have been able to do anything without that cake chef.
Xia You looked at the window, looked at his reflection on the glass, was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke:
"Why don't you let me come?"
"Let you come? What made you come? Hikaru Kuroda looked at Natsuyu with some annoyance. The others also looked at Xia You's words to break the silence.
"Let me do it."
Xia You took a deep breath and looked at Kuroda Mitsudo seriously.
"You" Hikaru Kuroda couldn't react for a while, but immediately realized what Xia You meant, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Do you know how to make cakes?" ”
Not only Hikaru Kuroda, but also the people in the shop, especially the apprentices, all looked at Xia Yu in amazement, hopeful and complicated.
"No, it won't."
Xia You's words made everyone, including Hikaru Kuroda, gloomy. Xia You smiled brightly:
"I can make pastries, and it's Chinese."
"Chinese?"
Kuroda Hikaru glanced at the clerks in confusion, and suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up again:
"Is it also a cake? Oooh! I remember, you're Chinese, right? Can you do that Chinese style now? ”
"Well, I can try"
"Wait."
Xia You just wanted to talk about the plan he thought of temporarily, but a voice suddenly interrupted Xia You's words, and the apprentice who spoke stood up, glanced at Xia You lightly, and then said to Kuroda Hikaru:
"Miss Kuroda, we don't think it's a good idea."
"Why?"
Whether it was out of a broken crutch or out of admiration for the rumored Chinese food, Hikaru Kuroda was full of expectations for Xia You, but the apprentice in front of her, who was not an apprentice, was already the one who had been with the cake chef for the longest time in the clerk, and she had to stop and listen to his opinion.
"The shop has always used Western-style pastries as a selling point, and it has been exhibited to the point that it is the best in the city, which is our honor, and we insist that we cannot just destroy this glory overnight."
The apprentice who spoke glanced at Xia You as he spoke.
This inexplicable provocation made Xia You frown, Xia You only saw his appearance clearly now, his face was white, tall and thin, but the high and protruding cheekbones were not an ordinary destruction of the perception.
"Then what do you want me to do! Usually, your master refuses to teach his secret recipe, but now that the person is gone, what should we do? ”
Hikaru Kuroda's words resounded throughout the store, and the high cheekbones apprentice froze for a moment, but still shook his head firmly:
"Not really!"
The voice of the high cheekbones was very harsh, and Xia You was also a little angry.
He purely wanted to help, but he was disgusted by this and that, and this provocative person was not necessarily the person who talked about anything in the store, at least Xia You didn't know him at all:
"So what do you say?"
"I'm just a newcomer, and I'm not qualified to dictate." The high cheekbones apprentice froze for a moment, and then hugged his chest and looked at Xia You with slanted eyes. The convenience of high cheekbones makes him seem to have a real sense of contempt for others.
"So you mean you're very qualified?" Xia You asked with a slight smile.
"Me"
"Don't make any noise!"
Hikaru Kuroda suddenly screamed, and the high cheekbone apprentice chattered twice, and stopped with some anger.
Kuroda Hikaru ignored him and said directly to Xia You:
"Xia You, are you sure?"
"No, but it's probably better than not being able to do anything right now." Xia You shook his head.
"That's good."
"Slow, he" The apprentice with high cheekbones heard Kuroda Hikaru's words of agreement, and his face changed and he was about to open his mouth to stop it, but he didn't expect Kuroda Hikaru to scold him mercilessly in a louder voice:
"Am I the store manager or are you the store manager!"
If the big store is clear, the high cheekbones instantly blush, but they don't dare to say a word.
"Okay, Xia You, what are we going to do now?"
Hikaru Kuroda turned his head to look at Natsuyu again and asked. Xia You was still a little surprised by the majestic appearance of Kuroda Hikaru just now, and nodded when he heard this:
"Can you move all the workbenches in the bakery outside the door?"
Gao cheekbones snorted coldly and wanted to say something, but Hikaru Kuroda glared at him and held back his words.
Xia You just smiled slightly:
"We're coming in public."
