food storage house

Did Liu Yang really meet a liar?Facts have proved that Liu Yang did join the "World Food" magazine and became the artist she dreamed of.It has been more than a week, and this surreal development has still made the girls in the shared house feel dizzy. This sad aphasic girl has had the greatest luck in her life, and maybe she will never have such luck again in her life.

So, here comes the question, who is that beautiful sister who does good deeds without leaving her name?

This day was Sunday, and Liu Yang went back to his hometown to help his younger brother pack his luggage for college, and went to see his sick mother, so he was not in Shanghai.Unable to restrain themselves, the other three people in the shared house all dispatched, directly found the restaurant where Liu Yang worked before, and asked the boss there.

The owner of the restaurant is actually a very nice person, and he recruited her because he wanted to help Liu Yang.Although the person has been poached away now, he has no complaints at all.

"Xiao Liu is very nice and talented. You see, the newly changed sign at my entrance and this new menu are all designed by her, which has attracted many new customers. That friend of mine just looks at Don’t let the young people be buried. I heard that the little girl who designs and typesets is just a handyman in the back kitchen. She pointed at me and scolded me. The next day, she brought her best friend who is the editor-in-chief of a gourmet magazine to poach her away. Yes. That’s how she is, and she keeps her word. I also know that Xiao Liu is buried here, and I don’t have a suitable position for her here, so I have been very distressed, so I delayed it. Hey, it’s like talking about it now. It’s an afterthought.” The boss was smoking a cigarette and talking slowly, his six-month pregnant belly with that smile and bald head made him look like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Who is that friend of yours? We really want to thank you in person." Zhang Xueping asked.

"No, no, no, she doesn't need these things, she is just like this." The boss waved his hand, "At first, I didn't know her before, but I just had dinner once in the restaurant where she worked, and then we became friends."

"Really?" All three of them became interested.

"It sounds unbelievable, but it's fate." The boss mentioned this, half nostalgic and half sighing, "Five years ago, I was doing business in Tokyo at that time, and later my investment failed. In a restaurant, she was an apprentice and sous chef at the time. She made me a bowl of tonkatsu rice bowl. It was so delicious that I wanted to cry. I chatted with her for a long time, and one sentence touched me. She said No one in this world will refuse food. Food has incredible power. Later, I exchanged contact information with her, and then returned to China to open this restaurant. Unexpectedly, I thought she would stay in Japan forever , she came back last year, and opened a Japanese restaurant called Shizang on Huaihai Middle Road. After she came back, she would often come to my place, and especially went to the back kitchen a few times. After all, they all run restaurants. Studying. Maybe at that time, she noticed Xiao Liu."

When he heard him say this, Meng Yixuan stood up suddenly.The rest looked at her suspiciously, she blushed inexplicably, and sat down silently again.

"Shizang, I often pass by there." Meng Yixuan explained softly.

"Really? That's just right, let's go find her now." Zhang Xueping looked at Meng Yixuan with a happy expression on her face.

"Oh, what a coincidence, she went to Japan yesterday, and it may take a month or two before she comes back." The boss said.

The three girls were immediately discouraged.

"Then what is her name, you can always tell us."

"Hey, I really don't know about this. I just know that everyone calls her Miki." The boss touched his bald head with a smile.

"Mickey...is that Mickey Mouse's Mickey?" Liang Hong asked confusedly.

"No, but her Japanese name is indeed very similar to Mickey Mouse's pronunciation. In Japan, everyone called her that, so I followed the trend. In fact, it was written like this..." He put down the With a bit of ashes in the ashtray, he wrote down the four letters of miki on the table, and then continued: "We have known each other for so long and have never asked each other's names. I call her Miki, and she calls me Osan (The meaning of uncle in Japanese is the abbreviation of Ojisan's fast pronunciation), we both typed in this name on the mobile phone, it's unbelievable to think about it now."

================================================== ====

The mysterious Ms. Miki became the topic of conversation in the shared house for a while, but as time went by, she failed to find her several times, and the people who were constantly running around for their lives gradually forgot about this great benefactor who has never been seen before or after.

At the end of September, Ayang's younger brother is currently undergoing a full-scale military training life in the campus of *, and Ayang's work in "World Food" is also on the right track.Liang Hong, Zhang Xueping, and Meng Yixuan were still the same, busy going to and from work, and everything seemed to be peaceful.The coolness of autumn sweeps across the earth, the sky is high and the air is clear, and people look refreshed.

Soon it will be the National Day holiday, and except for Meng Yixuan, all the girls in the shared house are planning to go back to their hometown to have a look.As a native of Shanghai, Meng Yixuan has become the most at a loss. Every holiday, she will look like this.She has nowhere to go, but stays lazy at home, works hard on weekdays, and finally has a long vacation, so she doesn't want to go out anymore.Anyway, she doesn't plan to go back to the place where grandma is gone, by the way, why not go see grandma, it's been a long time since I visited her old man's house.

The adoptive grandmother was cremated after her death, and the urn was stored in the funeral home. Meng Dahai had no money to buy the old lady's grave, so he just paid the funeral home the ten-year cremation storage fee, and left the old lady there.This is also good, so that Meng Yixuan can go to see the old lady and avoid meeting the family.

On the afternoon of October [-]rd, Meng Yixuan, who came back from the funeral home, was sitting on the bus looking at the scenery. When the bus arrived at Huaihai Middle Road Station, Shizang's store came into view again.By coincidence, Meng Yixuan got off the bus at this stop.Standing at the station, she looked at the food store across the road, and complained in her heart why she had to get off the train, did she really want to have a meal there?

What a joke, having a meal there is equivalent to losing half a month's food expenses.Do I really have the spare money to spend like this?The monthly rent is 800, the food expenses are 300, daily necessities plus small clothes are 300, the transportation and telephone bills are 100, and occasionally I have to buy two new clothes. The salary of 2000 is running out.Is it easy for her to save some money? Is it really necessary to be so extravagant?

Asking herself like this, her body seemed out of control, and finally pushed the door open and walked into the store.

"Welcome, is there only one?" The beautiful waitress in a beautiful kimono bowed to her with a very standard professional smile on her face.

"Uh...yes."

"There are vacant seats at the bar, is that okay?" the waiter asked.

"Ah...it doesn't matter." Her voice was timid. With her old-fashioned clothes and unconfident expression, it was obvious that she was a first-time visitor, and she must be very poor and poor, but this waiter There was no sign of contempt, and the most perfect standard of hospitality was achieved in every move.

With her head lowered and her shoulders shrunk, Meng Yixuan tightly held her satchel strap with both hands, and followed the waiter to sit at the bar of Shicang.The bar is surrounded by a half rectangle, the center is the cooking area, behind the cooking area is a door with a Japanese noren curtain, and behind the curtain is the kitchen.There are hooks under each seat for hanging bags, and small open drawers for storing small items such as mobile phones.Meng Yixuan hung her bag on the hook, and sat on the high bar stool with some difficulty.The waiter had already placed the menu in front of her.

"This is the menu, please have a look." After finishing speaking, the waiter left briefly, and she returned after a while, holding a glass of ice water in her hand, and gently placed it next to Meng Yixuan.

Meng Yixuan was engrossed in the menu, and she was dazzled by all kinds of food photos and names.To be honest, she actually doesn't know anything about Japanese cuisine, except for sushi and rice balls, she only knows sashimi.But these are so expensive... She regretted walking in, but going out now is too...

After searching for a long time, Meng Yixuan finally found the cheap price page of the menu. These are lunch meals for busy office workers and menus for students. Basically, they are set menus with prices around 28 or [-].Meng Yixuan chose for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and chose a fried pork cutlet set meal. This set meal cost her [-] yuan, which is already the cheapest item on the menu.When ordering this set meal, she couldn't help recalling the words of the bald restaurant owner, seeing tonkatsu, she almost subconsciously chose this dish.

"Wait a minute, the food will come soon." After uploading the order on the handheld order machine, the waiter smiled and said to Meng Yixuan.Her choice of words and sentences are very unique, and it can be heard that they must be spoken after training, but her tone is extraordinarily kind and cheerful, which somewhat relieves Meng Yixuan's emotions.

After the beautiful waiter left, Meng Yixuan began to look at the entire store.Although I have stopped and watched countless times outside the store before, it was only after I came in that I really realized the strong Japanese atmosphere here.The entire store is very large, but the reception area on the first floor is only [-] square meters by visual inspection.In addition to the charming folding fans and Japanese screens, even the seats not far away are made of tatami mats.Although in order to conform to the habits of the Chinese people, there is no compartment that is elevated into a tatami mat, and there is no need to take off your shoes and sit on the cushions inside, but it still retains many Japanese feelings.

However, I heard that there is indeed a tatami banquet hall upstairs where you need to take off your shoes.

In addition, Meng Yixuan also saw a lot of weird masks on the wall. She only knew that these masks were probably a traditional Japanese mask, but she didn't have much research on Japanese culture, so her understanding ended here up.Many ukiyo-e-style pictures are made into wallpaper and pasted on the wall, and the lighting is full of a different style.

At this moment, it was just after five o'clock in the afternoon. In fact, it was not time for meal, and the dinner scene of Shizang had just begun.It was a coincidence that Meng Yixuan came, she was the only customer in the whole shop.The rest of the waiters are arranging the seats. This work has come to an end, and many waiters have already consciously stood at the door to welcome the guests.

Meng Yixuan was a little surprised to find that the waiters in the shop were not male at all, they were all female soldiers. They were dressed in kimonos, perhaps a modified version of simple kimonos, because they were not quite the same as the gorgeous kimonos in Meng Yixuan's impression (actually they were yukatas. ), but she didn't understand either.The wide sleeves are fastened behind the back with a red cord looped under the armpit to facilitate movement.The kimonos are all apricot yellow, decorated with beautiful cloud patterns, and besides the kimono, there is an apron tied around the waist. The apron is dark blue, and the two brush characters of Shizo are outlined in white on it, which is also the logo of Shizo .Wearing traditional white tabi socks and wooden clogs, they made a bang bang sound when they walked, which was very crisp and pleasant to hear.

Their hairstyles are uniform, except for the short hair, of course, and they wear four-cornered turbans on their heads, and they are dressed like tea-picking girls.The turban is also dark blue, and it also has the logo of Shizang.

I didn't expect the waiters here to be so particular about their clothes, which gave Meng Yixuan a very tall feeling.Just as she was staring at the waiters in a daze, a tall figure came out of the kitchen behind the warm curtain at the bar counter, holding a wooden box in his hand, standing in the cooking area surrounded by the bar counter .

No matter how old-fashioned Meng Yixuan is, she knows that one of the characteristics of Japanese restaurants is that diners can see the process of making food.The cooking performance can be regarded as the attraction of Japanese cuisine.Especially the processing of raw and cold food, such as sashimi slices, sushi kneading, and some specialties, such as teppanyaki, okonomiyaki, etc., the master chefs will face to face with the guests, and their craftsmanship can often Arouse people's strong appetite.

The bar area is actually very lively on weekdays. Every time Meng Yixuan passed by after get off work, she would see customers waiting in line to surround the bar three floors in and out, watching the cooking show.It's a pity that she never saw the appearance of the master, after all, there were too many people, and she was standing outside the shop, completely blocked.

Today she finally saw the master, this is a very tall and strong man, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a manly face with sharp edges and corners, he is a very heroic man.He is wearing a navy blue traditional Japanese-style cross-collar chef's uniform, with the right side of the clothes covered, with the logo of Shizang on the chest, and a square chef's short hat of the same color on his head (the traditional Japanese chef's dress is actually more casual. , and never wear a tall hat on his head), and a white apron tied around his waist.He put the wooden box in his hand on the chopping board, opened it, and Meng Yixuan saw three slender kitchen knives solemnly stored inside.He took out the kitchen knife and began to wipe and maintain it carefully.Halfway through, he also looked up at Meng Yixuan at the bar, said "Welcome" lightly, and ignored her.

Meng Yixuan murmured in her heart, no wonder so many people saw him, it turned out to be a cold and handsome guy.As soon as the idea fell into place, the tempting scent wafted into her nose. The amiable waiter sister came over with a boxy tray just now, and put a carefully crafted and plated set meal on Meng Yixuan. in front of you.

"Your pork cutlet set is here, please take it easy." The waiter sister said sweetly.

"Gudong", Meng Yixuan stared at the delicious food in front of her, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
