Chapter 26 Section 26

Xingcheng is at the "Togami Pavilion" Hiroo store.It's past business hours and there are no customers in the store.However, there were several dishes on his table.These are the alternate dishes on the menu of the Azabujuban store.Tonight, they are discussing the lunch menu.As for the salad that goes with the main beef diced rice bowl, he intends to list several options for customers to choose. However, he does not want to make it too cheap, and intends to serve it with a salad that is not inferior even if it is a la carte. "How about replacing the last peanut butter with sesame oil?" Xingcheng asked Yokota.

"Not bad, but I still think peanut sauce is more suitable for the taste of diced beef rice. Try it with sesame oil." "Oh, no need. I agree with Mr. Yokota." After hearing Xingcheng's words, Yokota nodded happily.Although he is young, he is already the top chef of the Hiroo restaurant.At the beginning, it was the talents that Xingcheng discovered.He will serve as the head chef of the Azabu Juban restaurant, which the administration has agreed to. "The salad is almost done. So is the soup. Next comes dessert, which is my worst field." Xingcheng frowned and recorded, the clerk who stayed behind to tidy up the table later approached him.

"Well, the president is here." "Father?" Xingcheng looked behind the clerk. At the door came Zheng Xing in a gray suit.Seeing this, Yokota stood straight and motionless. "Did you make a mistake at work today?" Xingcheng asked Yokota in a low voice. "I don't know." Yokota looked thoughtful. "I have something to tell you. Give me some time." Zheng Xing whispered. "Okay, but can't we talk about it when we go home?" "I've thought about it, and I want to tell you as soon as possible. I know you're here to discuss the menu." After the executive walk was completed, he scanned the table, "Salad."

"The lunch menu. It goes with beef diced rice. It's almost negotiated. Wait a moment." "No, right now. Don't waste your time doing such useless work." Xing Cheng, who was staring at the notebook, froze instantly when he heard Zheng Xing's words.He didn't know what this meant, and he looked at his father again. "What does it mean?" Masaki didn't say a word, but looked at Yokota and the young clerk beside him. "Sorry, I want to talk to Xingcheng alone, you guys leave first." Yokota looked at Xingcheng suspiciously, said "Got it" and walked towards the kitchen, followed closely by the young clerk.

Xingcheng squinted at his father. "What's going on? Why do you say it's a waste of effort? Have you reconsidered the issue of the Azabu Juban store? Let me tell you in advance, but it's aborted at this time..." Zheng Xing waved his hands in front of his eyes. "Who said that? In short, sit down and talk first." He said, pulled out the chair beside him, and sat down. However, Xingcheng didn't move, he was still standing with his arms folded in front of his chest. "Calm down and sit down." "That's all. Please speak quickly."

Zheng Xing sighed and looked up at his son.Facing this oppressive gaze, Xingcheng straightened his back without any fear. "With regard to the opening, one policy has changed. It has been decided, and no complaints are allowed." "The policy has changed? Don't you think it's strange? You said that this store is entrusted to me! Why did Dad decide to change it?" "Indeed, I said that I will give you all the power. However, there is only one thing you want from me. Do you know what it is?" Looking at Zhengxing's picky eyes, Xingcheng was shaken, his thoughts wandered around, and there was only one thing that came to mind.

"Rice with diced beef..." "That's right. It's rice with diced beef. So far, when the new store opened, the store manager was appointed to create an original diced beef with rice. However, if you want to restore the original diced beef with rice, I also once Approved." Xingcheng opened his eyes wide. "You wish to withdraw this decision?" "That's right. Like the previous responsible person, you also created the original beef diced rice bowl. Make it the main dish of the Azabu Juban store." Xingcheng loosened his arms around his chest, put them on his waist, and looked down at his father.

"Wait a minute, there's no reason to say it now. It's Azabu Juban's idea to restore the original beef diced rice bowl. Did creating a new beef diced rice bowl subvert this idea soon?" "Each store has a unique personality. What is the original characteristic of 'Togami Tei'. Our family is not an ordinary chain store." "I understand this. It is because I know that I want to restore the taste of the original ancestor. Now there is no store with this taste, not even the main store in Kannai. Restoring this taste in the Azabu Juban store will not obliterate it Another store."

Zheng Xing shook his head without changing his expression. "The previous store manager worked hard alone to create the original beef diced rice bowl. It is because of this hard work that today's achievements are possible. You should also taste the hard work. It's fair, isn't it?" Xing Cheng was speechless, what Zheng Xing said was indeed reasonable, in fact, Xing Cheng himself felt a little guilty about it. However, he tried his best to use his own hands to revive the diced beef rice bowl that led "Togami Pavilion" to today's success. He didn't want to take shortcuts. In other places, he also experienced the same experience as other store managers. The hard work, no, maybe even more responsibilities.

"The Azabu Juban store was born on the premise of reviving the diced beef rice bowl. Whether it's the red wine, the ingredients, or the menu... Do you want to start everything again?" Xingcheng hung his head. Said. "These experiences won't be useless. If you think so, you are not a qualified operator. You should hurry up and find another job." Zheng Xing got up from his chair, "I said it at the beginning, this is a predetermined thing, It won’t change again. In the future, I won’t add another word, I promise. We will talk about the opening time another day.”

Xingcheng stroked his bangs and looked into his father's eyes. "Why didn't you say it until now? Please tell me the reason." "It's already been said. I just want to treat everyone equally." "So, why did you agree before? Just say no from the beginning?" "I really want to apologize for this, not to you, but to other store managers. This kind of behavior is not like me, pampering my son, and I am reflecting on it." He turned and walked out of the store.Looking at the distant figure, Xingcheng endured the roar in his heart, even if he vented, it would be meaningless. He slumped down on the chair that Zheng Xing had sat on with his limbs weak. "Mr. Xingcheng," someone called out.He raised his head and saw Yokota standing aside with a worried face. "Did you hear that?" Xing Cheng asked. Yokota nodded. "It will be hard from now on. The taste of the main dish has to be adjusted." There is no trace of pessimism in his tone, which is like a shot in the arm for Xingcheng now.However, Yokota must also be quite anxious inside. "It's all about doing it all over again. But, like Dad said, these experiences will not be wasted. Come on!" Yes, Yokota nodded, and began to tidy up the dishes on the table.Looking at this state, Xingcheng repeated his conversation with his father.Although he understood what Zheng Xing meant, he still couldn't accept it. Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind, could it be—— The last time I talked to Masashiki about the diced beef rice bowl was after eating with Saori.After returning home, Xingcheng told the story that she had eaten diced beef rice with the same taste.Thinking about it now, my father at that time was a little abnormal. Could it be that those have any impact on the administration?If so, what part of the conversation was the key?And, why didn't he tell this son. Xingcheng took out his mobile phone, and the LCD screen displayed Zuori's number.He hesitated for a moment while pressing the dial button, then shook his head slightly. Even if I asked Saori, I couldn't find the answer.First of all, how should he ask? Seeing Togami Masahyuki walk out of the building, Koichi was a little anxious.earlier than expected.In the building at the other end of the road, there was a coffee shop suitable for surveillance, and he was sitting in it drinking coffee.Seeing this, he hurriedly drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, and rushed out of the coffee house. In order to achieve a certain goal, Koichi followed Togami Masashiyuki from the moment he came out of the main store of "Togami Tei" in Kannai. Now, Hushen also takes a few days a week to inspect the kitchen of the main store.At this time, he will use a private car.The car is parked in a monthly subscription parking lot about 50 meters away from the store. Originally, Koichi planned to start in that parking lot.Therefore, about an hour before the main store closed, he started monitoring nearby. However, miscalculations happened.After closing the store, Togami walked out of the store with the clerk.Moreover, the two walked towards the parking lot while talking and laughing. It seemed that the cars of the people beside them were also parked there. At this time, Koichi had to give up the idea of ​​achieving the goal today, and only Togami Masayuki was the absolute condition to start. Even so, Koichi still followed Hushen's gallop without giving up.Although there was a danger of being discovered, he secretly looked forward to the opportunity and followed him all the way.If Hu Shen went home directly, he decided to go home.Because of this situation there is no chance to start. Unexpectedly, the God of Chance returned.The Mercedes-Benz drove straight not to go home, but to the direction of the "Togami-tei" Hiroo shop, Yuichi involuntarily whistled while turning the steering wheel. Togami stopped his Mercedes in the underground parking lot of a nearby building, and Koichi stopped his pickup not far away.After confirming that Hu Shen was gone, he opened the car door. The reason for Togami's sudden visit to the Hiroo store is unknown, but judging by the opening hours of the parking lot, he won't be staying for long. To Shinmasa walked out of the store earlier than expected. Gongyi trotted all the way back to the parking lot. Fortunately, there was no one beside Hushen's car.He looked around and took something out of his jacket pocket. This is something very important to them.Something unique in this world.I have been troubled by whether such an important thing should be used here.It may never come back to them. But there is no other way.Perhaps it is because if something is valuable, it can help them successfully implement the plan. Putting that down, Kouichi ducked back into the car, waiting for Togami Masashiyuki to appear. Not long after, Hushen in a suit came out of the elevator, alone.Gong Yi swallowed. Hu Shen took out the car keys and walked towards the Mercedes.He walked around to the driver's side and opened the door. Koichi bit his lip when he saw the door open.Togami didn't seem to notice that.He stepped into the car and closed the door. Failed, just when Gong was downcast, the door opened again.Hu Shen leaned out, looked at the ground, and then picked up something. Tension hits Gongichi, and according to Togami's reaction, subsequent actions will also change.If he took that home, he would have to find a way to stop it. However, Togami's reaction was as Koichi expected.He picked it up and put it back in place again, closed the door, started the engine, and the car moved smoothly. After the Mercedes-Benz disappeared from sight, Gong got out of the car and walked towards the Mercedes-Benz's parking space. What he put there is still lying in almost the same place.Putting on his gloves, he picked it up, and he put it into the plastic bag he had prepared in advance. It worked, he silently said to Taifu and Jingna in his heart, that guy fell into the first trap. A smile appeared on his face. On Saturday afternoon, Shizuna was asked out by Takeo Kawano.Seeing the letter on the mobile phone, she planned to ignore it, but then she was afraid of causing trouble. Since he wanted to meet anyway, she made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop in Ikebukuro. "Why didn't you reply to the text message?" Kawano questioned. "You don't answer the phone at all, what's going on?" Shizuna lowered her head, avoiding Kawano's sight.
