Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Excuse me, is this the 121 kitchen?" Liu Maoxing said after knocking on the door.

Inside the hotel kitchen numbers are three digits, while room numbers are four digits to avoid confusion…

The kitchen is quite big, with all kinds of facilities and kitchen utensils in it, but there are not many people, only four people are there?

Before, Chef Li Yuan told himself that there should be 11 people... Could it be because Chef Kojima is not around, that he is so disorganized?

Liu Maoxing secretly suspected, no matter how you say it, more than half of the people have skipped work, isn't it too weird?

Could it be that the first-class chef who led the class before wanted to show him off?

It's even more impossible! I just came here for an internship for a week, and besides, the real insurmountable difference between a first-class chef and a head chef is cooking skills, not management experience...

It's impossible for her to be promoted just because she is acting as a substitute... Do you need to show yourself off?

"Ah! You are Liu Maoxing, who is here to replace the chef for a week, right? You are finally here!" A female chef who seemed to be in her twenties immediately welcomed Liu Maoxing's arrival...

But... Her tone was neither enthusiastic nor cold, but more exhausted and relieved.

"That... Excuse me, are you Chef Takawako Toda?" Liu Maoxing asked hesitantly.

The female chef glared and said: "It's 'replacing' the chef! No, I don't need to 'replacing' you anymore... Hurry up, if you have any questions, just ask now, and I will rest later!"

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing was a little puzzled by her attitude, why did she seem to have a grudge against the word "chef"? I can't see the opposite...

"Hahaha, please understand the pain of the 'girl' who hasn't seen the sun for three days, okay?" Gui Hezi stared.

Liu Maoxing looked around, and then confirmed that the "girl" she mentioned was herself!

"Haven't seen the sun for three days?"

Liu Maoxing looked at the "older girl" in front of him suspiciously, and found that she indeed had some dark circles under her eyes. Before that, Liu Maoxing thought it was natural, just like the classmate Nao Sadazuka who stared at her all afternoon on the long-distance bus. , there are not no people who are naturally depressed.

From the exposed part under the chef's hat, you can still see the long hair in the chef's hat that seems to be messy, and it seems to be very unkempt, it's just stuffed in it, and there is no makeup...

Although some heavy-smelling cosmetics will affect the chef's judgment on the dishes and are absolutely forbidden in the kitchen, light makeup does not affect anything, and it does not have to be "without makeup".

At the beginning, Liu Maoxing thought that this "Takakazu Toda" belonged to that kind of slovenly type, but now it seems that there are "hidden secrets"?

"Of course! Otherwise, who do you think, after Kojima's bastard... Kojima's chef asked for leave, who has been taking over?" Toda Takawako complained.

"Could it be that you have been in the kitchen for the past three days?" Liu Maoxing asked in shock.

"That's not true. I applied for reimbursement before, and I got a room in 1201. I will rest there at night, and the chef on duty will call me when something happens...Really, how dare you complain about my age and incompetence?" People want? Let me be bored here every day, ghosts can find a boyfriend!" Gui Hezi said angrily.

Of course, her displeasure was not because of Liu Maoxing, but because of the chef who asked for leave... And Liu Maoxing is her savior now!

"You Hezi, it's your fault for saying that, don't you still have us?" Another male chef in the kitchen who looked about 30 years old said jokingly.

"Shut up! I can't even hold a kitchen knife steadily! I'm afraid I'll marry you forever!"

"Hey, hey, is it the other way around? Why did you marry me? And what's the matter with 'young life'? My cooking won't shorten my life, right?"

"Hehe, I mean I'm afraid you will die." Guihezi sneered, the other party didn't dare to start a conversation immediately, and continued to pre-process several kinds of ingredients wholeheartedly.

Liu Maoxing couldn't help thinking to himself: Some people don't have boyfriends because they are too busy with work...but you definitely don't!

Afterwards, Guihezi couldn't wait to introduce the duty of chef in this kitchen to Liu Maoxing.

Liu Maoxing finally understood why there are only three people in the kitchen besides him and Guihezi...

It is true that in addition to the first-class chef "Yuriko Toda", there are ten cooks working in the kitchen, but Liu Maoxing instinctively ignored one thing before!

That means Yuanyue Hotel is officially operating! It's not like a certain four-eyed skin boy who uses the same cooks for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and even "child labor" is deducted, and the phone bill has not been reimbursed!

Usually there are ten people not counting Takakazu Toda, but they are divided into three people for the day shift, three people for the night shift, one person for the night shift, and three people for rest... With roughly this kind of manpower distribution, the operation is maintained.

In other words, the manpower in this kitchen is far less than what Liu Maoxing imagined... Think about it, there are only 13 or 14 of the 20 rooms, and not every guest needs to eat in the room , How could it be possible to maintain a manpower of more than ten people forever?

However, after Kojima left, the schedules of other chefs have not changed much, but Takakazu Toda is unlucky. Reported her to the review list for the big promotion at the end of the year...

So she can also be half of the head chef at ordinary times. When Kojima is not around, she is the head chef.

But now Kojima is "completely" gone. In addition to the affairs in the kitchen, other tasks include scheduling chefs and kitchen workers, ordering food ingredients, checking kitchen equipment, etc... She is also in charge of all these, and it will be difficult to play immediately. Sended!

In order to prevent mistakes, she has not left the twelfth floor of Yuanyue Hotel for three days...

Although there was a small lounge inside the kitchen, she still opened room 1201, so that at least she could have a little rest at night.

That's why when she saw Liu Maoxing, she seemed to see a savior!

After Guihezi handed over the duties required by the chef, Liu Maoxing thought about it, and felt that there was no difficulty, so he said: "...Okay, chef Guihezi, let's go to rest."

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll come back tomorrow night to replace you! By the way, this is the room card for 1201. Call if you need something!" Guihezi turned and left after speaking.

Liu Maoxing looked at the room card in his hand in a daze for a long time, and then realized that what Guihezi meant was that he could also go to 1201 to rest at night, because it is only a few steps away from the kitchen, and if there is an emergency, he can come here as soon as possible...

I can't help but think in my heart: You've made it clear! If there is a disagreement, the room card will be plugged!

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing also felt a little strange, and asked the second-class chef Otani who was preparing the ingredients, that is, the "second-class goods" in Guihezi's mouth: "Usually, the right chef has such a tight schedule in the room service kitchen? What about the small island?" Don't Chef and Takawako usually rest?"

"That's not true. Normally there would be two to three first-class chefs, but among the previous three first-class chefs, one was promoted at the beginning of the year, and one...was transferred." Dagu said hesitantly.

"Reassignment?" Liu Maoxing couldn't help but secretly wondered, there were not enough people in the first place, so he was transferred?

Immediately seeing Otani's expression, he also understood, probably because he and Takahako's personality is not compatible!

At this moment, someone knocked on the door again, Liu Maoxing didn't say please come in, but went directly to open the door...

Because this is not the time for shift change, no one should come here normally!

Even if someone ordered room service for cooking, they would still call the service department, and then the service department would place an order for the kitchen.

After all, Yuanyue Hotel also needs service quality, and although there are not many cooks like Guihezi who open their mouths as "grandmothers", it is too demanding to expect them to speak softly to people.

So Liu Maoxing's first reaction was that someone went wrong...

"Huh?" When Liu Maoxing opened the door, both of them were startled.

When I just opened the door, I saw the person outside the door with one hand resting on the door frame, and the other sexy hand on his lips. At the same time, the all-white top was simple and charming...

There is a ditch on the top, and the navel is exposed on the bottom. You can also see a tattoo on the right shoulder and the left side of the navel. The lower body is also white shorts that do not reach the knee.

From the perspective of late autumn now, this attire is too cool, so it can be seen that the other party must not have come from outside before!

Just when Liu Maoxing was about to say, "Guest, did you go to the wrong room?", he suddenly realized that this was none other than Takakazu Toda who had just left...

"Huh? After putting on makeup, I really can't recognize it!" Liu Maoxing sighed.

So here comes the question...why did Guihezi, who had gone and returned, be startled when Liu Maoxing opened the door?

I saw "Guihezi" frowning for a while, and then said: "Who are you? New here? Why haven't I seen you before..." He walked into the kitchen on his own.

"Meihezi is back? Your sister...cough cough, I mean Guihezi just left, so you should go home and rest."

"Oh, it's a pity that she didn't die from exhaustion...she just left? Then you..."

"Ahem, I'm the new temporary chef Liu Maoxing." Only then did Liu Maoxing realize that he had identified the wrong person.

And judging from the reactions of the other three, this Guihezi's twin sister is most likely the one who was transferred out before!

No wonder Otani hesitated to speak. Judging from Miwako's attitude, the relationship between the two sisters seems not to be good, and it is probably because of this that they were transferred.

"So it's the new chef...you're so young!" Mei Hezi's voice was much sexier than Gui Hezi's, and she actually looked like she was about to reach out to touch Liu Maoxing's face, but Liu Maoxing calmly said dodged.

"Heck, it's okay! Little brother, if you have any trouble, you can go to the kitchen next door to ask someone to help, just mention my name. If I'm on duty, it's okay to help you look at it for a while when I'm not busy... "

Miwako's words further confirmed Liu Maoxing's guess, because next door is the kitchen responsible for ordering meals in rooms 1221 to 1240! There are only these two kitchens on the twelfth floor...

It seems that Guihezi was almost busy, and there may be reasons for this! Although there are few people in the kitchen of 121, when Kojima is around, they can share some staff with 122. However, because of Miwako's relationship, Takawako can only grit her teeth when Kojima asks for leave, so she has been fighting alone.

But fortunately, Mei Hezi doesn't seem to be trying to make trouble for Liu Maoxing at least...
