【Food Halberd Creation Tower】Winter Fog

Fives,

After Takumi recovered and returned to work, Xingping voluntarily stopped helping Trattoria Aldini and intentionally quit Takumi's team.In this way, he stayed at Aldini's house with a little nothing to do.

With the moist breeze blowing in the face, Xingping lay down under the lemon tree in the yard of Aldini's house and enjoyed this short leisure time.The spot of sunlight falling through the gaps in the leaves was a bit dazzling, Xingping leaned his back on the trunk and closed his eyes, thinking about what to do next.

After seeing the Aldini brothers, he realized that his former classmates and friends had their own new lives and were preparing for new goals. Fake.

He originally planned to find acquaintances to harass them one by one, and finally fly back to Japan.Now that I have stayed in one place for a long time, I have developed attachment emotions, and I am a little reluctant to leave.He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Trattoria Aldini, wondering if it was because he was used to wandering around the world, suddenly settled down and felt the warmth of his family, his heart was incredibly soft...

And that halberd.

Cooking can't fool the cook, and the things contained in the half-moon beef made Xing Ping Chuangzhen realize that he should really do something.

However, it doesn't seem to be in line with Xinghei's life creed to really write a plan for the next few years step by step.

It was so annoying, Xingping gave up thinking, and decided to travel all over Europe as originally planned.He got up and patted the dust on his body, wondering if he should go to France immediately to visit his master Sigong, give psychological counseling to his seniors, and try his luck to solve the unknown in his heart.

After returning to the guest room and packing his bags, Xingping was just about to run away, when Xingping held the doorknob in his hand, he had a second thought, he had a random thought, and almost left without saying goodbye.This is not very good, he let go of his hand, let the luggage fall to the ground, and decided to wait until Takmi and the others came back from get off work.

These few short hours seemed extremely long at the moment, Xing Ping lay on the bed with his legs crossed and tossed and turned, thinking about his parting words at night.

It's annoying, he's not good at saying goodbye to people.

I fell asleep unexpectedly.

Thinking about life for a long time in the afternoon is very exhausting for an instinctive talent like Xingping. When he opened his eyes and looked out the window, it was already dark.Immediately afterwards, Xinghei caught a glimpse of his mobile phone screen lighting up.

Xingping is considered an outlier, relying very little on smartphones.It is inconvenient to hunt food outside the uninhabited signal circle in Liao all the year round, and communication is very inconvenient. Most of the time, the mobile phone is used as a camera in his hand.Perhaps he was too idle now, so he even picked up the interest and touched the mobile phone with a thin layer of dust on the bedside table to his side, and unlocked the screen.

an email.

He was surprised for a while that he had connected the email address on the APP, and after seeing the sender with his eyes, he decisively entered.After browsing the contents of the email, he was very grateful that he had connected to the wifi after coming to Aldini's house.

Xingping looked at the time before the screen went dark, it was almost eight o'clock, and he was a little hungry.

At the same time, an idea popped up quietly.

Just do it when you think about it.Xingping packed his bags and left the room, explained the situation to the Aldini parents who could meet along the way, and rushed towards Trattoria Aldini like crazy.

****

Trattoria Aldini is very popular at night, and there were almost no seats when Xinghei went in.Seeing that he was an acquaintance, the clerk in charge of the front desk hurried up to greet him warmly, and led him to the reserved table in the back.Xingping originally just wanted to find a small vacant seat and sit down, but his Italian expression was limited, and looking around, there were no empty seats, so he could only silently accept this kindness, put down his luggage and sit down.

Two days ago, the familiar face of the substitute shift played a role at this moment. The foreman turned his head and mumbled something to the waiter. The little girl nodded and ran towards the kitchen. Xingping guessed that she was going to call the two brothers.He and another clerk nearby said "dinner" in a few Italian words that he could not speak, and pointed at the table as a gesture of eating. The other party quickly reacted and helped him hide his luggage under the table first Afterwards, he laid out a napkin for him, arranged the tableware neatly, poured a glass of iced lemonade, and finally presented the menu.

This is the first time for Xingping to eat at Trattoria Aldini as a diner. From a perspective completely different from that of a cook, he can truly feel the changes in this popular restaurant at this moment.The lobby of the restaurant is very lively, but the distance between tables is properly arranged, the waiters can move around smoothly and quickly to serve food without being crowded, and the relatively scattered layout makes people relax without affecting each other.The reserved area where Xingping sits is quite empty, and the distance between the tables is larger, making it appear more private. It looks like it has been carefully designed.

The menu is different from what Xingping saw when he came to play during the high school holidays. Xingping flipped through it roughly twice and felt that it was super high-grade. Everything he touched with his fingers was enjoyable, and I don’t know how much more delicate it is.There are two menus in total, one is mainly set meals, the price is affordable, and the other is obviously a special menu for table reservations, including the special order of the Aldini brothers.He can spell out a few words in Italian for cooking, and he can know what they are with the pictures, and he has participated in many cooking.The melodious and brisk music in the store was flowing in my ears. Xingping raised his hand to signal the waiter who was waiting beside him, and quickly completed the order in broken Italian and finger pictures.

As he was about to leave here, Xingping thought about it and added another bottle of limoncello.

He guessed that the news of his coming to eat here had already reached the ears of his friends, but eight o'clock was the peak meal time, and the Aldini brothers must have no resources to come out to meet.It's a pity that he doesn't understand the language, and he can't even send a message.

Then simply be a customer once and for all!

Xinghei took a sip of Aldini's characteristic limoncello, picked up a knife and fork to enjoy the appetizer he ordered, and looked around from time to time.The reservation area was not full today, and the table closest to him was an old couple, who seemed to be celebrating an anniversary, clinking glasses again and again.He had already discovered that the interior decoration of the restaurant had been changed, but now after looking carefully, he realized that every decoration was just right.Seeing the patterns of many ingredients painted on the wall, Xingping heard from Takmi that some of the ingredients inside have special meaning to the Aldini family.

Really hardworking, Xinghei scooped up a spoonful of saffron risotto and put it in his mouth while thinking.Before seeing many large cooking utensils and cutting-edge kitchen utensils in the kitchen, Xingping just felt that the two brothers were really willing to spend their money. Now immersed in the comfortable dining environment, he felt how much they love this restaurant and how much money they poured into it. hard work.

Trattoria Aldini's cuisine has never disappointed diners, and Xingping is very satisfied. Although he lost a lot of surprises because he knew some of the recipes, this dinner undoubtedly satisfied his tongue, and the more he ate, the happier he was.

He ate more slowly than usual, savoring each bite.He could even taste which chef made the main dishes.When the dessert was served, Xinghei could even tell from the appearance that this colorful panna cotta was the ingenuity of Takomi.

Xingping hurriedly replaced the dessert spoon and began to savor it carefully.The milk jelly melts instantly upon touching the heat, and the aroma of milk and vegetables and fruits are intertwined into a waltz, silky and graceful, sliding all the way to the throat.Xingping silently praised this dessert in his heart.

But he always felt that something was missing.

Unlike Tacomi's half-moon beef when he was eating the halberd, he didn't have the turbulent emotion that overwhelmed him.

"Luckily."

After Xingping finished enjoying the panna cotta, a call like a clear spring came to his ears, and when he looked up, he happened to see Takmi and Isami in the distance.Many local diners in the dining area recognized the two brothers and greeted them cordially.Takumi and Isami returned the salute one by one, said a few words alternately, as if explaining and thanking, and slowly approached Xinghei.

"Takmi. Isami." Xinghei stood up and hugged each of them.

"Are you satisfied with tonight's meal?" Isami asked Xingping.

"I enjoy it very much." Xingping gestured for the two to take their seats. After the three of them sat down, he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and asked curiously, "Is the kitchen still busy? Are you two all right?"

"Leave it to Mr. Pompeii. Now the dishes are basically ready, and there are no new guests, so it won't matter if you come out for a while." Takmi raised his hand to decline Xingping's attempt to pour him wine, and replied slowly.

Xingping paused and decided to be honest: "I... I'm going to leave after this meal."

"In such a rush?" Although Yisami was astonished, he didn't seem to intend to do more to keep her.

"Staying in one place for too long is easy to wear down your will. Didn't I say that before? I want to see my acquaintances." Xingping drank the wine in his glass.

"Is that so..." Takmi sighed with emotion, his eyes dimmed, he moved his mouth slightly but did not continue.

After chatting casually for a few more words, the topic unknowingly returned to cooking.Xingping made a brief comment on the dishes ordered for dinner, and said with a smile that he felt fresh from the perspective of diners.Takumi accepted Xinghei's praise, was happy, and his expression softened instantly.On the other hand, Yisami's emotions were more obvious. Knowing that Xingping would leave soon, he talked more, saying that they all worked hard, and what kind of interesting things happened in the development of which dish.

The three talked and laughed, and Xingping took the opportunity to ask some questions about the decoration of the store, which was answered patiently by Takmi.

"Trattoria Aldini has changed a lot..." Xinghei sighed conclusively.

"It can only be said that it is in transition?" Isami answered, "After all, we are striving for star ratings. While the cooking level is improving, the software and hardware of the restaurant must also be improved. It is also very important to provide diners with a comfortable dining environment. .”

"But our philosophy has not changed much. Trattoria Aldini will always be a popular restaurant, although we have opened up a small reservation area to meet the needs of all parties and provide high-quality services. Our original intention remains the same, and we hope that diners can enjoy Enjoy delicious food in a relaxed environment and spend quality time with the people you cherish.” Talking about his restaurant, Takmi gushed, his eyes sparkling.

Takumi's confident and high-spirited appearance shined brightly in Xinghei's eyes.He was convinced by now that his takomi was different.

"That's why we are very happy with Xinghei-kun's evaluation tonight! There is a feeling of 'communication'." Yisami nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Kohei. Where are you going next?"

Xingping happily explained his plans to harass acquaintances one by one, until he walked out of Trattoria Aldini.At the last moment when we had to part, Takmi sent someone outside the store, stopped talking several times, and merged thousands of words into a sentence of "take care".

The night wind blew away Xingping's thin red hair from his forehead. He carried his luggage on one shoulder and stood still looking at his friend's face.Takmi and Isami's two pairs of sea-colored pupils were clear and bright, reflecting his figure.In the dark, Xingping seemed to feel something, he turned his back to the two of them, raised his empty left arm halfway, and walked forward waving.

After walking a few steps forward, Xinghei looked back, and Takmi and Isami were still standing there watching him, so he raised the corner of his mouth and shouted:

"Then, we'll see you in the moonlight."

After finishing speaking, Xingping turned his head back, leaving a back and elongated slanting shadow, which slowly disappeared from the sight of the Italians and the rising night wind.
