Chapter 32 fourth quarter

Xia Zhi hasn't been to Kobe Harborland for a long time.She often came here when she was a student, but since she entered the "Goldfinch", she seldom went shopping because she was too busy with work. In addition, they are all weekdays off, so it is impossible to meet friends.It was hard to get a few days off, and it was the time of the Obon Festival, and everyone was crowded everywhere. It was very cold at the beach at the beginning of the year and the end of the year, so I didn’t come here to eat, watch movies or go shopping. Mosaic Square is located in the corner of Kobe Harborland, facing the sea on the east and south sides.The first to third floors of the building are full of restaurants, especially on the second floor.

Xia Zhi leaned against the railing, looking at the sea.Looking east from the Kobe Port Tower standing on the north side, you can see the Kobe Oriental Hotel under construction on the breakwater.Looking at the hotel, Xia Zhi thought of the Montblanc dessert.Because its appearance like a hill is reminiscent of Mont Blanc. It was still cloudy and rainy a few days ago, but today it suddenly cleared up.The clouds floating in the blue sky are as white as cotton candy. Because of the high temperature, the wind blowing from the sea is particularly comfortable. Facing the sea breeze, bathed in the sun, I feel that the accumulated fatigue is gradually disappearing.Xia Zhi waited for about ten minutes, and Gong Ye finally showed up.

"Sorry, I'm late." "It's okay, Mr. Ichikawa is busy too!" "The tram was crowded for about forty minutes! Sorry, I'm an hour late, are you tired of waiting?" "I haven't been here for a long time, so I'll take a stroll, have a drink, and pass the time!" The two walked into a coffee shop with a sea view, sat side by side, and ordered drinks. "This dessert carnival taught you a lot, right?" "Yes! Every dessert is delicious, I really learned a lot." "Opening a store in Kansai is really not an easy task. If you can't beat those opponents, don't open a store."

"Mr. Ichikawa's cake is absolutely fine! It will definitely establish a reputation immediately." "I wish it was like this. Compared with the dessert trend at that time, the current economy is really much depressed." "Yesterday... I mentioned to my boss and Chef Qigu about my resignation." Xia Zhi said calmly. "Because the dessert carnival ended successfully... We talked for a long time, and finally got their understanding, but with a few conditions attached." "What conditions?" "Because a sudden resignation will cause difficulties in the store, they hope that I can stay until Mr. Ichikawa's store officially opens."

"Yes! I can understand." "Also, they hope that I will not give you any assistance before the opening of Mr. Ichikawa's shop. Because Zhang Luo's opening of the shop is your responsibility, Mr. Ichikawa, not my job, so I can't help or ask questions...Because during this period It's the happiest time to be a store owner, so they want me to let you enjoy this time alone. Moreover, if I intervene at this time, I'm afraid it will affect my future work." "The boss really came here! Thank you so much." "So I'm going to stay at the Goldfinch for a while, at least another year. But I'm going to start learning new things in the meantime."

"I will trouble you at that time, because there will be newcomers who are junior to you." "No problem, please give me more advice." "Where is Mr. Muto from Xitomi?" "Because I really can't handle so many things at once... so I declined." "Mr. Muto must feel very sorry." "There is no way. Once you exceed your own load, you must tell the other party clearly and then decline. This is the responsibility of a professional pastry chef, and it is also the principle taught to me by the boss and the chef." "That's the right attitude."

"Mr. Ichikawa, have you decided on a store name yet?" "Thought it out." "Is it called 'ARGENT'?" "I can't use this as the name of the shop, because there is already a pastry shop with this name here, so I thought of another name for the shop, called 'MUROISE'." "MUROISE?" "The name of a raspberry, because it is a cross between mulberry (mure) and raspberry (franboise), it is called muroise. It combines the taste and aroma of the two fruits, and it can be used in desserts to inspire a better taste. , is a sweet and sour fruit with a wonderful taste, and it is also used to make liqueur, and it is the kind of liqueur that has a beautiful red color!"

Xia Zhi tried to imagine this kind of fruit that he had never seen before. MUROISE I would love to use this fruit once too.Since it can be made into red liqueur, its fruit must be as bright as a ruby. Xia Zhi also saw Kyoya's desperate determination from the name of the store. Kobe is the city with the highest consumption of desserts in Japan, and it is also a fierce battle area for desserts in the Kansai area.The pastry chefs have devoted themselves to this never-ending fierce battle between pastry and wagashi - how to leave a strong impression like MUROISE is probably what the name of the store wants to convey.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "That's a good name!" "thanks." MUROISE.From now on, this is my shelter, a place where I work hard with other staff members, make delicious desserts, and a place where I will work with Kyoya again. "Please give me your advice." Xia Zhi saluted solemnly. "Forgive me, a partner who is not yet a senior." "Actually, I'm still a little hesitant." Gong Ye murmured. "Is it really okay for Miss Morisawa to come to me? Is this really the best choice for Miss Morisawa?" "Don't worry about such things." Xia Zhi smiled. "Because it's up to me to decide whether it's good or not."
