Food Wars: Life Cookbook - Chapter 21
All chapter are in Food Wars: Life CookbookAfter hearing Shigong Kojiro's description of what happened recently.
Dojima An thought about it. He looked up and said to Shigong Kojiro, "Senior, you shouldn't mind hiring a temporary worker, right? Let me make it clear first, you have to provide food and accommodation!"
Shigong Kojiro looked at Dojima An, and after a long time, he said: "Want to join my kitchen? That depends on whether you have the ability!"
"Are you preparing for me to take the entrance examination?" Dojima An smiled. "Glad to help!"
"What other ingredients do you have?" Dojima An asked.
"All the side dishes are available, but there are not many foods that can be used as the main dish." Shigong Kojiro replied. "The topic is soup. I want to drink vegetarian soup today. I'll leave it to you next."
Dojima An ran to the cold storage, searched for a while, and found a pumpkin in the warehouse.
The idea of what to cook suddenly opened up, and he made a cream pumpkin soup directly.
First peel the pumpkin, and then cut it into dices. Steam it in a steamer for 30 minutes. Put it in a juicer and beat the pumpkin into puree.
Add some whipped cream and some milk to the puree, with a ratio of about 1:4. Heat it over low heat and stir it constantly. When it boils, serve some. Take a little whipped cream latte art for decoration, and a simple but flavorful dish is ready.
"Ding~ [Cream Pumpkin Soup] - 63 points"
After Dojima An handed the dish to Shinomiya Kojiro. Shinomiya Kojiro was shocked. A 10-year-old child made a dish that could already be on the stage of the autumn election.
So, Shinomiya Kojiro had a headache. He was a person who didn't want to owe others favors. Even if it was Dojima An, who had a good relationship with him. But he didn't want to miss such a gem that had already shone without much carving.
Looking at the confident smile on Dojima An's face, Shinomiya Kojiro made a decision.
"You will be very busy in the next period of time. Tell me what you are best at first. I will hire you as a temporary non-staff member of my restaurant. Until I find the right person." Shinomiya Kojiro said to Dojima An.
"I am personally good at the positions of baker and pastry chef." Dojima An replied. This familiar conversation brought him back to the scene of the interview in his previous life.
The difference is that Dojima An is no longer the same as before, and he is much more confident when speaking.
"Come in with me." Shinomiya Kojiro said. "I need to teach you some common kitchen terms and dishes in our restaurant. You need to learn how to prepare dishes in the restaurant."
Then Shinomiya Kojiro was even more dumbfounded. Dojima An can basically understand the common kitchen terms and respond quickly.
In terms of cooking, the common cooking methods for snails, foie gras, duck and lamb in French cuisine are basically the same. Except for a few special dishes that require special processing and he needs to relearn. Basically, he can do whatever he orders.
Shinomiya Kojiro can only attribute this to the good teaching of Dojima Gin. He has learned so much knowledge at a young age and seems to have a lot of practical experience. So Dojima An was hired.
In the evening, Dojima An returned to Andrew's tavern and told Uncle Andrew that he might have to leave to help the student get through the difficulties.
Andrew agreed very readily. He knew that a chef like Dojima An could not stay in his small place forever. Sooner or later, he would go to a larger platform for development.
But Laura was reluctant to leave. Although the main reason may be that she was reluctant to give up the high tips for the past two months.
Dojima An returned to the room. It was already late at night in Paris. And the early morning sun in Tokyo had just woken up the early risers.
As usual, Dojima An called Erina Nakiri to wake her up. Hearing Erina's unconscious murmurs on the other end of the phone, she looked dazed. For some reason, Dojima An felt relieved. He could feel Dojima An's smile even through the phone.
Erina, who was in Tokyo at the moment, woke up. She blushed when she heard the chuckles coming from the other end of the phone. She forced herself to chat for a few words and then hung up. She lay on the bed to calm down. After a while, she didn't know what she thought of, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She got up, changed her clothes and prepared to go to study.
Dojima An fell into a sweet dream.
Early the next morning, Dojima An packed his luggage and moved to the Mingmingbai employee dormitory arranged by Shinomiya Kojiro.
Dojima An had made sufficient psychological preparations to anticipate various possible situations. He was even prepared for the possibility that his physical strength would not be able to survive a day of work in the kitchen of a large restaurant.
The result was beyond Dojima Yasu's expectation.Not many guests showed up in the evening. The workload was even less than when I was at Andrew's Tavern.
In the following period of time, after Shinomiya Kojiro cleared out the disobedient employees, Dojima An felt more and more that Shinomiya Kojiro was like the kitchen tyrant in the original book.
He would not tolerate others' rebuttals or make decisions. All the people in the kitchen had to do was obey, obey, and obey.
In Dojima An's view, this had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages were high efficiency, stability, and no accidents. Even if an accident occurred, it could be corrected quickly.
The disadvantages were also obvious. Such mechanization killed the enthusiasm and creativity of the kitchen. The quality of the entire kitchen follows the chef. If the chef is improving, it means that the kitchen is improving. If the chef is stagnant, the restaurant can only maintain the status quo at best.
Fortunately, Shinomiya Kojiro is still young and in the golden age of culinary development. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term, Dojima An thought to himself. He soon fell into busy work again.
With the blessing of Shinomiya Kojiro's cooking skills, the restaurant's business is getting better and better. It can't be said to be hot, but it has indeed improved. Most diners are interested in the French chef from Japan. They look forward to how he will cook French food.
In this way, time passed day by day, and more than two months passed, and Dojima An's internship career ended. He left "SHINO'S" with 9781 points of praise and a permanent free restaurant black card. Ended his internship life.
Before leaving, Shinomiya Kojiro recommended a competition to Dojima An. According to Shinomiya Kojiro, this competition basically brings together cooking genius teenagers from all over the world. Even as one of the Ten Outstanding Students of Totsuki, he only won the 15th place in the year he signed up. Although he has only studied cooking for 3 years. But according to Shinomiya Kojiro. Even if he has been studying since childhood, he can't win the top three of that session.
"What is the name of this competition?" Dojima An asked curiously.
"World Youth Chef Cooking Competition" Shinomiya Kojiro said in a deep voice.
