Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Cafe Accident
The red beans are sweet and soft, and have a gritty texture in your mouth. Although the taste is sweet, it is not too greasy, which can be said to be just right. In addition, the outside of the taiyaki is grilled to be soft and chewy, so it is generally delicious.
After eating Taiyaki, Asuka touched her pocket and wanted to pay Mitsy Nohara.
But Mitsy Nohara didn't seem to consider this at all. After hurriedly finishing the taiyaki in her hands, she took Asuka's hand and came to a river.
She closed her eyes, feeling the breeze blowing against her face, and said in a leisurely tone:
"Did you know Shinchan? There are incredible creatures in this river~"
"Incredible creature?" Asuka couldn't quite understand the meaning of Mitsy Nohara's words, but this sentence happened to activate the system...
[System: Scanning the river... The life forms present in the river have been determined. There are a total of 6,573 freshwater fish of various types (the number is still growing)! There are a total of 13,624 river shrimps (the number is still growing); there are a total of 2,277 other creatures (the number is still growing); special creatures: kappa. Sixty-seven have been found (the number is decreasing...)]
Kappa?
When Asuka Shimizu saw the data given on the system panel, her usually calm expression showed a crack.
After the last time the system transmitted data to her brain, she was able to roughly understand most of the things that existed in this space and time.
Kappa, a creature that should exist in legends, Asuka never expected to actually exist in this time and space...
The system didn't give Asuka time to think about it. The moment it scanned the kappa, it updated the task panel...
[Dip: The latest mission! Plan to save kappas! Due to environmental pollution and the impact of global warming, the number of kappas is declining sharply! As creatures that should exist in legends, we should shoulder the responsibility of protecting them and let them Let the kappas thrive and survive healthily and stably!
Mission completion indicator: The number of kappas exceeds 150!
Reward for completing the mission: a bonus of 50,000 yen! Top BBQ technology!]
Fifty thousand yen?! Asuka's eyes lit up when she saw that there was a bonus in the mission reward. Just when she was thinking about how to complete the mission, Mitsy Nohara, who had rested enough, spoke:
"Shinchan, have you rested enough? The supermarket's half-price promotion will start soon. Let's speed up and take the lead!"
"Okay!" Asuka didn't quite understand why she had to seize the opportunity to buy something, but since it was her beautiful sister who said it, it must be right.
The two of them boarded the train as quickly as possible, transferred to the next station and got off at Nagoya.
"The supermarket holding the event is not far ahead, let's speed up!" Mitsy turned around and urged.
Asuka was held by Mitsy Nohara's hand and ran all the way, Asuka's half-length skirt whizzed in the strong wind.
Finally, the two arrived at the mall where the event was held... Asuka finally saw the huge appeal of the half-price bonus event for housewives...
If Mitsy Nohara hadn't held her hand tightly, Asuka suspected that she would have gotten lost as soon as she turned her head.
There is no way, there are too many people!
Because the mall has not yet opened, everyone is gathered at the supermarket door. Everyone is full of energy and is ready to rush in as soon as the door opens!
Asuka had never seen such a posture before. In addition, she had just come into contact with this space and time, and she had a bit of social fear similar to sequelae, so she backed away slightly in panic, trying to get away from the crowd...
"Shinchan?" Mitsy Nohara stepped back desperately when she saw Asuka Shimizu's face turned ugly, and her impulsive mind instantly calmed down.
She grabbed Asuka Shimizu's hand, and the two of them rushed out of the crowd.
"Sister Mitsy...I, my..."
"It doesn't matter. You told your sister earlier that you can't adapt to this situation. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought you here. It doesn't matter. I'll give you some money and go to the cafe not far ahead to order a cake. You wait for me. Let's go home together after we've done some shopping at the supermarket, okay?"
Asuka nodded, and just when she was about to say that she didn't need to give her money because she had some money in her pocket, Sister Mitsy stuffed five thousand yen into her hand.
five thousand...
Asuka instantly felt a little panicked. That was five thousand. Is it too much?
With the thought of having a huge sum of money, Asuka strolled to the coffee shop next to the supermarket, and then saw the tiramisu priced at 1,500 yen for a portion and 480 yen for a cup when the waiter greeted her with a smile and distance. Hot cocoa.
Asuka:...
Silently clutching the 1,000 yen in her pocket!
System, you are really stingy!!
Asuka couldn't help but break through her facial paralysis and complained about the system in her heart, and then ordered a tiramisu cake and a cup of hot cocoa without changing her expression.
Spending nearly 2,000 yen in an instant made Asuka feel a little distressed...
After this shopping experience, Asuka probably also understood the prices in Japan, and at the same time she had a clear understanding of the 1,000 yen in her pocket...
After waiting for about five or six minutes, the hot cocoa and tiramisu ordered by Asuka were already served.
But just when she was about to taste the cake, an accident happened...
A scream suddenly came from the direction of the back kitchen of the cafe, causing everyone in the room to cast curious glances.
However, nothing happening in the outside world attracted Asuka Shimizu. She picked up a spoon, dug out a small piece of tiramisu in the noisy surroundings, and put it into her mouth...
"The frosting feels serious and the taste is a bit too greasy..." Asuka pursed her lips, her expression unchanged.
The taste of tiramisu is quite authentic, and the bitterness is handled just right.
But unfortunately, this shop didn't know what ingredients they used when making tiramisu, which made the originally delicate cream become a bit stiff and grainy, as if the cream hadn't been whipped well...
Asuka Shimizu frowned and took two bites of the less-than-perfect tiramisu, then raised her head and looked in the direction of the loud noise...
It turns out that the chef in the kitchen accidentally cut his palm when handling ingredients, and the deputy in the kitchen happened to take a leave of absence due to a wedding, so now there are only a few apprentices in the backstage of the kitchen, basically without anyone in charge.
[Bit! Trigger a temporary mission!]
Temporary assignment? This is the first time Asuka has triggered a temporary mission. How could she trigger a mission at this time?
Asuka glanced at the mission panel...
[Task requirement: Help the cafe survive the crisis!]
[Mission reward: Proficient in making coffee shop pastries and tea drinks! Cash bonus of 3,000 yen!]
Asuka Shimizu looked at the system rewards and was silent for a moment.
"System, helping the cafe to tide over the difficulties specifically means..." Asuka was a little concerned about this. If this was to help the cafe to cook for a day, it would be difficult to explain when Sister Mitsy came over.
Fortunately, the system is not that confusing, just an explanation:
[The host only needs to let the current guests in the cafe taste the food they ordered to complete the task.]
There are not many customers in the cafe now, there are only four tables in total, and Asuka feels that she can handle it.
She nodded and turned to look at the dense crowd in front of the department store. She felt that Sister Mitsy would not be able to get out for a while, so she simply accepted the task.
She put down the tableware in her hands, patted her skirt and stood up, walking towards the cashier.
At this moment, the cashier counter was in a mess. She stood on one side of the counter, looked at the busy cashier lady, and said in a gentle voice:
"Hello, are you in any trouble?"
Japan's service industry is quite impressive, and if you neglect a guest, your salary will be deducted.
Therefore, no matter how urgent the situation is now, the cashier lady still smiled and explained: "I'm really sorry for this guest, but the chef in the back kitchen has an unexpected situation and is temporarily unable to prepare meals, so if you just ordered If so, please go to the counter with your receipt to apply for a refund."
"No, no, I'm not here for a refund. I can cook all the meals on your menu. I think if it's really troublesome, I can help deal with the situation temporarily." Asuka Shimizu used the daily dialogue Teaching, he followed the instructions with an expressionless face.
"What?" The cashier lady suspected that she heard wrongly.
So Asuka had to repeat it again...
Now the cashier lady was sure that the very beautiful lady in front of her really wanted to help, but after all, she was just a waiter and could not make decisions on her own.
She bowed her head apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry for this customer. I need to ask the store manager for instructions on this matter. Could you please wait a moment?"
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
...
About five minutes later, the cashier lady came to Asuka with a young man in a suit and tie.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Asuka and said, "Can you make all the desserts and drinks on the menu?"
Asuka Shimizu didn't want to say anything and just nodded.
"Then you come with me... By the way, you continue to calm down the customers in the store." The man in the suit extended his hand to Asuka and made an invitation gesture, and by the way, he also asked the cashier to take care of the store.
The two came to the kitchen backstage, and the man in a suit asked: "Little sister, you said you can make all the snacks in the store, are you kidding me?"
Asuka didn't answer the other person's question, she just glanced at him, and then took a lemon from the shelf nearby...
She first cut the lemon in half, peeled and chopped the lemon peel, then squeezed out a small cup of lemon juice and filtered out the pulp and set it aside.
The man in the suit saw Asuka Shimizu's actions and immediately understood that the other party wanted to make the store's signature dessert lemon tart.
Lemon tart is the best-selling product in the store, and many of the customers this time ordered this snack.
But...can the girl in front of me really do it? It's not that easy to make a lemon tart...
While the man in the suit was stunned, Asuka had already processed all the materials needed to make the lemon tart. Each of the materials was sorted and placed neatly in front of Asuka.
"So... so fast!" The man in the suit was a little shocked, because one of the difficulties in making lemon tarts is that the materials are difficult to handle, but the speed shown by Asuka really shocked him!
Next, it's Asuka's personal show of making lemon tarts!
After a very skillful and smooth operation, a hint of milky fragrance with lemon fragrance gradually floated out from the backstage of the kitchen...
The milky aroma was not strong, but it caught the heart of the man in the suit, and he couldn't help but glance at the pot of lemon tarts just out of the oven...
