Chapter 20 Chapter Six

This summer, "Louis"'s new ice cream is very popular. Although the "Yehua" in our store is also selling well, it still cannot compare with "Louis". However, Mr. Jiuhe was very happy that the new product was appreciated by regular customers.Customers think that it is not only innovative, but also maintains the elegance of traditional wagashi. There are also many new customers who bought it after reading magazine reports.In addition, the ice products that are only sold in the freezer in summer are also much more popular than in previous years.It seems that compared to raw fruits, young people still prefer ice products with affordable prices. "Yehua" is also very popular in the special exhibition area of ​​the food underground shopping mall in department stores.I heard that the master who created this work is very happy.

I don’t know why, but I’m a little concerned about “Louis”’s new ice cream. Although Mina happily said to me: “It’s delicious!” But when I think about what happened in the vineyard, I don’t want to buy it. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the weather is getting cooler. It is time to put the freezer into the warehouse again.I heard from Mina that Miyoshi-san is planning to leave the Fukusakudo Kobe branch. But instead of being transferred to the main store in Kyoto, I decided to leave this business.I was taken aback and asked why. It turned out that he planned to change his career to be a pastry chef.

"Could it be that you were hit hard because you lost the competition?" "He's too lacking in perseverance. Fortunately, we still helped." Although Mina is not very happy, I think Mr. Miyoshi's change of career may be a smart decision, because the style of "Moonman" is also applicable to West Point, maybe he will be more recognized if he moves to West Point. I didn't intend to ask him, but he took the initiative to say goodbye to me.Just when I finished my work and followed Mina, I walked out of the dressing room and walked to the store. Mr. Miyoshi bowed silently to me: "Today is my last day at Fukusakudo Kobe branch, thank you Miss Ayabe for your care."

"I heard from Mina. You're planning to move to West Point, aren't you?" "It's more like studying abroad than switching to another battle! I want to learn from scratch." "Influenced by 'Louis'?" "Although I had this idea a long time ago, it is undeniable that it was indeed influenced by Mr. Changfeng." "Is it because Wagashi's work is boring?" "No, that's not what I mean. I just feel that I have to learn some knowledge about pastry in order to create my most satisfying wagashi, so I want to learn in the kitchen of a pastry shop."

"That's right... But when you want to return to the wagashi world one day, you may not be able to come back to Fuyingtang! In this case, please tell me why the idea of ​​'Moonman' was used in 'Louis'. New ice cream?" "No problem, I can tell you. Mr. Changfeng asked me not to say anything about it before I made a decision." "Is Chang Feng the chef?" "Yes, so no matter how much you asked me at that time, I couldn't tell." "The reason why he didn't stay in the store on the day the new product went on sale was..."

"I think he deliberately chose to travel around that day because he didn't want to see anyone!" Mr. Miyoshi suggested that we chat while walking. "It's been a long time since I went home so early." We walked in the street where the street lights were not on, and Mr. Miyoshi murmured, "For wagashi masters, feeling the changes of seasons is a very important thing. The characteristics of the four seasons are revealed in the confectionery. This is why I like wagashi.” Walking on the street where the night is gradually falling, I don't know where the aroma of roasted chestnuts floats. Is it from 'Louie's' kitchen?Or another store?In the cold air, mixed with aroma and sweetness, slowly rushing into the depths of the nose.Ah, I really want to eat chestnut Mont Blanc!The pastry shop in Dojima sells it. The chestnut cake roll there is also delicious, and the fresh fruit made with chestnuts is also delicious.If it is Mr. Miyoshi, he must be able to make both delicious.

Mr. Miyoshi didn't know the delusion in my mind, and said seriously: "I asked him to try the works several times. When he saw the first work, Chef Changfeng said: 'Before I leave a comment, I have two conditions. .'" "What conditions?" "'I will read all of them, but if there is no favorite work, I will not choose any', another condition is 'If I am selected, the thank you gift is that the idea of ​​this work must be given to me'. " "what?!" "Later Chef Changfeng chose 'Moonman', so the idea of ​​this work was used on the new ice cream."

"Why do you accept this condition? Why do you have to ask Chef Changfeng to be a judge?" "Because I really wanted him to see my work." "He is really! How can you make such a condition?" "Because the trustee also bears a certain degree of risk. Chef Changfeng said: 'Fortunately, it is me, if it were someone else, I might lie to you.' He also said: 'I may not give you a real evaluation!' Hearing him say that gave me a feeling that I could completely trust this person, so no matter what conditions he offered, I would accept it." "If...Mr. Miyoshi's work passes the selection, what will Chef Changfeng plan to do?"

"I think the reason why he put forward such conditions should have already seen that my work would not pass the selection! Even if the field is different, his skill in judging pastries is still top-notch, not to mention he is still a fan of Fu Yingtang! But It’s just a gamble.” "But, what if you get selected?" "I still have several filings! Just replace them at that time. Although he did this, it troubles me, but this kind of thing can't be said to the chief chef! I think it's a kind of food that Chef Changfeng gave me. Encourage and tell me that as long as I strive to improve, I can become a product worth launching. This kind of design can also be used in pastry. I think he deliberately used my creativity in ice cream to tell me this truth! Or maybe I want to let me understand that only with a certain degree of sense of chain washing can there be commercial value.”

Suddenly, I felt "what the hell am I doing?" I was circling around the truth with an anxious heart, and the emptiness in my heart was so irritating.Whether it is Mr. Miyoshi or Mr. Nagamine, from the very beginning, I saw the true meaning of the matter, only I was always out of the situation... "I finally understand," Mr. Miyoshi said, "Maybe I am very suitable for opening a shop. I want to create Japanese desserts more than traditional wagashi, so it is impossible to stay in Fukuzakodo forever. Maybe it is not the time to leave now, but I I hope I can learn how to make pastries first, and then return to the wagashi world to make unprecedented Japanese-style desserts that make guests’ eyes shine.”

"That's it...then bless you, come on! Remember to explain clearly to Mina, she seems to have misunderstood." "I will. After the new product is finished, can I ask you to try it again?" "No problem! Mr. Miyoshi's craftsmanship is really good. I think your works will be welcomed whether it's pastries or wagashi." After saying goodbye to Mr. Miyoshi, I walked towards "Louis". What would have happened if I had pressed Chef Changfeng for the truth in Goku at that time? I always feel that there must be no good results.Mr. Miyoshi's plan was discovered by Mr. Jiuga and the chief master, and Mina and I will also be implicated in it. Moreover, Mr. Miyoshi's position will become very awkward. Not only will he lose his personal reputation, but he will also be unable to leave calmly like now. Is it because Chef Changfeng expected all of this that he showed such an attitude towards me?For Mr. Miyoshi, it doesn't matter if you are misunderstood. Fortunately, I didn't continue to ask. The thought of what I almost did is irreversible, and I feel a chill down my spine.
