Chapter 18 first quarter

It was rainy a while ago.Maybe it's because of the hard weather, "Goldfinch" has been crowded with people these days.Cherry Blossom Macarons and Fruit Cake Rolls are very popular. It is made with cherry brandy ganache in the new chocolate delivered from "Louis Chocolate Factory".When the store closed in the evening, Xia Zhi bought the remaining sandwich chocolates out of her own pocket. Fortunately, there was only one new product left.When Xia Zhi took the box containing chocolates to the dressing room, she ate a new product first. A ganache with cherry brandy and an almond paste filling.The sweetness of the brandy melds subtly with the aroma of almonds.

Chef Changfeng is really a chocolate magician, good at creating new worlds of desserts in the palm of his hand.The ultimate delicacy he created is not only fresh but also has a strong sense of nostalgia—— "How can I catch up with this person's talent?" Xia Zhi was in awe of Changfeng again. When Xia Zhi returned to the kitchen from the dressing room, she caught a glimpse of the customers entering the store through the kitchen window.It was a tall man who looked to be in his thirties.It was obvious that the closing sign had already been put up—Xia Zhi, who thought so, immediately exclaimed "Ah!" after seeing the other party's face.

The other party seemed to have noticed Xia Zhi's reaction, and raised his hand lightly to say hello with a smile.Xia Zhi immediately dropped the work at hand and rushed to the store. Ichikawa Kyouya was standing in front of the merchandise cabinet.He was still the same as the first time we met, wearing a black jacket with narrow-leg pants. Gong Ye had a calm demeanor, as if he was still working at "Goldfinch" yesterday, and said to Xia Zhi relaxedly: "Hey! Long time no see." "When did you come back?" Xia Zhi desperately suppressed her excitement. "Are you here on a business trip? Or are you looking for new ingredients?"

"No, I quit my job in Tokyo and came back here." Xia Zhi widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Really?" "I think it's almost time to open a store of my own in Kansai." "Wait a minute to go to the broker's side?" "The location has been decided. The next step is to open the store." "It's amazing!" Gong also looked at the merchandise cabinet with a smile. "The goldfinch cake still looks so delicious! Can you help me wrap up one of each kind that is left?" Xia Zhi looked nostalgic. "Do you want to eat cakes like that all day again?"

"It's been a long time since I ate desserts from Kansai. Besides, there are desserts made by Ms. Morisawa, right?" "right." "I'm curious to what extent your craftsmanship has improved!" Gong also greeted Chef Urushitani and other staff standing on the other side of the glass window.Seeing that everyone put down their work and came to the store, Gong said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's work.", "I'm leaving soon", "Come over next time..." Then Said that he would go straight back to the restaurant today and feast on the cake he bought.

Gong also took the box containing the cake and greeted everyone: "I won't disturb everyone's work." Then he left, Xia Zhi sent him outside the store, and casually suggested: "Let's have a meal together sometime!" "Okay! However, I have something to talk to Miss Morisawa in private, can we meet one day?" "it is good……" "Actually, I made a special trip today to tell you that I want to open a shop." "Can I help?" "Of course, Ms. Morisawa is already a professional pastry chef in her own right. I just want to discuss this matter with you."

"I see." Gong also took out a piece of note paper from his pocket and handed it to Xia Zhi. The mobile phone number was written on the paper. "Call me today or tomorrow when you are free. I should stay around here for a few more days, so it's convenient to see Miss Morisawa!"
