Chapter 27 Chapter Six

As the filming time of the show approached day by day, Umezaki never asked me anything.After all, "Iwata" had appeared on "Gourmet Show" before, and it should be well known that he was invited again, but Umezaki didn't say a word, and he didn't clamor for the opportunity. I always feel that Umezaki is getting more and more silent. He can go in and out of the store, coffee shop and kitchen freely, and he almost always shuttles between them silently.He who doesn't get along with other people in the first place, if he doesn't even get in touch with me, he will become a veritable lone ranger, but he himself doesn't care much.

I think he should be very reconciled, knowing that my qualifications are longer than his, but he just doesn't want to admit it.In fact, I don't know how to face him. Even if I work in the same place, since I am a competitor after all, I think it's better to pretend nothing happened and not mention anything. On the day of the filming of the last program, everything went smoothly and the task was successfully completed.Among the guests who participated in the performance was a popular actor who likes to make desserts. With his witty words cleverly interspersed, we smoothly explained the various points of making desserts.

I have always been worried that the hot air in the studio would melt the joining parts of the art-shaped cake. Fortunately, the TV station staff was very experienced and took the initiative to lower the temperature around the workbench, allowing me to complete the assembly smoothly. The design concept of the work "Chocolate Flower Art" is to keep a little of the original chocolate color, and then use a spray gun filled with food coloring to spray the parts with color.The parts are joined with melted chocolate, and the cooling spray gun is used to solidify them instantly, and then the pink purple, white, bright yellow flowers, green stems and leaves, etc. are cleverly combined, and it becomes a piece that is more beautiful than the draft I described. Gorgeous, more wonderful work.Without the help of Mr. Nagamine, I am afraid that such a beautiful work could not have been completed.However, each part is made and assembled by myself, which can be called my proud work.

The camera took close-ups of the colors and details of the work, barely capturing my face.Because the close-up shots were of detailed manual work, I was worried that I would be so nervous that my hands would keep shaking. I didn't expect that after I started focusing on the work, I didn't care so much. In addition to answering questions raised by guests from time to time and explaining the operation process, the second chef, Mr. Yokoo, also has to answer questions that guests rushed to answer. After the filming ended, the four of us went to a nearby izakaya.Although it was said that they had to go to work tomorrow, everyone decided to have a drink at the invitation of Mr. Yoko.

The group decides to only stay for two hours and raises their beers. "Although it's the first time for everyone to be on the show, they performed very well and worked hard," Mr. Yokoo seemed to be in a good mood: "The main desserts and art-shaped cakes are well done, so I look forward to the broadcast! I will definitely tell my friends and family Friends hype it up!" Because of the busy work on weekdays, we don't have much chance to get together, only when we first came in, we attended a welcome party.Driven by the excitement of accomplishing the task together, everyone chatted happily like old friends and ate delicious food.

After everyone had a heated chat about the new Parisian desserts in the store, a surprising thing came out from Mr. Yokoo. I didn't expect the show "Food Show" to be closed soon.It seemed to be what he heard from the program producers he knew well during the meeting.In the future, the format of the program will be changed by the production unit touring the stores to film and produce the site, introducing the store's signature products or seasonal desserts, etc.So as long as you watch the show, you will know where to buy it.This kind of program style must be more in line with the tastes of the audience.The production unit decided to change the format after some ratings surveys.

Mr. Kakuda said with a look of surprise: "It means that we are the last batch of guests invited to the show? How lucky! After the change of the show format, we must only shoot the chef, right?" Mr. Yoko nodded, and replied: "Probably! After all, most viewers believe that the chef is the signboard of a store and the person who makes the best-selling products. Although kitchen work is a kind of group work, the chef is still the most conspicuous. Existence, we can only serve as the background, so this is more in line with the needs of the TV station!" In this way, Umezaki will not have the opportunity to appear on "Food Show".

I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I felt a little sad. I thought that the opportunity would come sooner or later. It was just the difference of who came first... I felt as if I had taken away Umezaki's future and opportunities. No matter how upset I was, I couldn't Can't change the facts. That's what being on TV is all about!Mr. Changfeng believes that as long as the store's business is good, it will be fine.Anyway, there are thousands of methods! It's about time, and it's time to adjourn the meeting. This is what happens when you step out of the store.

When Mr. Yoko went to check out at the counter, Mr. Nagamine walked up to me and whispered, "You do a great job of making art-shaped cakes! You have a talent for making chocolate! You can consider developing in this direction." Maybe it was a courtesy talk while drunk, but I was still very happy because Mr. Nagamine's tone didn't sound like a polite talk. "Thank you. Mr. Changfeng, do you want to become a chocolate master in the future?" "That's right! I joined 'Iwata' for this purpose, and I plan to return to Kobe to develop well." "Mr. Changfeng is also from Kansai? Me too!"

"Oh!" "I want to find a good store in Kobe or Ashiya and develop it well." "Then we will become competitors one day?" "It should be said that I want to work with Mr. Changfeng." "Don't talk nonsense! You want to find a store that allows you to play well, there is no need to follow me." "As long as there is fate, we will work together." "Let's talk about it when you become a first-class pastry chef!" Although Mr. Iwata mentioned the "Gourmet Show" at a morning meeting before the show was broadcast, he did not particularly praise the people who participated in the show. Maybe we should make a certain level of work.As the show aired, the number of visitors increased significantly, but the desserts made on the show were not sold.Of course, there are similar products sold in the store, and the clerk will also take the initiative to explain to customers that we provide special customized services.

As Mr. Yoko said, this type of program has its bottleneck, and new forms will naturally emerge.
