"Hello, I am a student here for field study. I... Mr. Shinomiya? Why are you doing this?"
Shirou stared blankly at the man in front of him. What's going on? Shouldn't the person who comes to work in this four-eyed frog shop be Soma Yukihira?
"Because this is my Tokyo branch. Well, it's just that it hasn't officially opened yet!"
Different from the time when he was living in the dormitory for further training, now Shinomiya is not wearing chef uniforms, but in casual clothes, which looks more people-friendly.
That is, just a little bit.
"... Really?"
"Stop talking nonsense, the first thing is the decoration and carpentry work in the store. You are so skilled at splitting bamboo, I believe the carpentry work will not be difficult for you!" Shinomiya directly threw the broom and other things to Shirou.
"No, have you just reached this level? Why don't you hire professionals to do it?" Shirou couldn't help complaining.
"Because of our budget, we have to do the rest of the work ourselves. After all, the decorations and tableware I chose are very elegant."
"... I-just don't have money..." You can think with your toes, this good-looking four-eyed frog must be embarrassed to attract sponsors because he has no shame.
Otherwise, given his energy, what kind of sponsorship cannot be attracted?
"So your role will be reflected at this time. Anyway, you came to work here because of the field study. From a certain perspective, you can be regarded as my employee now, so you have a share in all this work!"
"Chef, this is a bit bullying..." The person who said this was Ryushi·Hugo, the person in charge of meat dishes in the store. Because she heard something was wrong in Shinomiya's tone, why did she feel like she was taking it out on others?
"No, Ryushi, you don't understand. I shamelessly asked this boy from Totsuki to help. He is different from us. He knows how to do everything!" Shinomiya said with bright eyes, "As long as we leave the decoration, carpentry and some groceries to this boy, we can save a total of twenty-three thousand two hundred and fifteen yen!"
So has this four-eyed boy finally gone crazy...
Shirou lowered his head, unable to see his face because of the angle of the light.
"Hehehe, since what you have said in the scriptures, let me show you what it means to be omnipotent in housekeeping!"
An unknown aura rose up on Shirou, and the foreman Gao Wei, sous chef Abel, and Ryushi all felt the same way. A chill ran down their spines.
The next moment, I saw Shirou starting to prepare the groceries in the store in a way that was more professional than a professional.
"Four. Shinomiya Chef, is this classmate really a student of Totsuki and not from the housekeeping department?" Abel asked uncertainly.
"Ask me, how do I know!"
Because of the intervention of professionals, the work that could have taken half a day was completed in less than an hour.
The four people who were supposed to be working were disliked by Shirou for being slow, so they sat down to drink tea together.
"Huh! Now all the preparations for opening a branch have been completed. Today's work is much easier than expected!" Ryushi said without thinking.
The environment in the store has indeed changed a lot. It doesn't look like it has just been renovated. Instead, it looks like it has been taken care of by a professional housekeeping company.
"Nonsense, I took all the work by myself. You guys have done nothing since I came here. Isn't it easy?"
"But don't you look like you're enjoying it?"
"Who is enjoying it!"
Although Shirou doesn't want to admit it, he is indeed interested in housework. Otherwise, when I go home, I won't have to compete with Sella to do housework.
"Hey, Mr. Shinomiya, what should I do with these things?" Shirou asked, patting the box in front of him. Inside this is what Shinomiya Yumae calls "very sophisticated" tableware.
"Hey, that thing is very expensive, don't take pictures randomly!" Shinomiya shouted with a dark face, "Forget it, just put those in the kitchen. No, wait for me to move them with you, those things are very... heavy..."
Shinomiya stopped talking halfway through, because he saw Shirou carrying a large box weighing at least more than three hundred kilograms with one hand, and with the other hand he also lifted the cabinet in the kitchen that he was going to take.
"What?"
"No, it's nothing..."
Shinomiya I just remembered now that Shirou has another feature: Monstrous Strength. It is said that he once used a force of several tons to pull noodles, but I don't know whether it is true or not.
So, if I had known that this boy was so efficient at work, I don't know how much things could have been saved by letting him come here earlier.
After Shirou completed all the finishing work, it was time for dinner.
"So, what about lunch? Why don't you leave it to me? It's always like this at home anyway." Shirou asked.
"That's too embarrassing, so let me do it. You've already taken on all the work, and if we ask you to cook a staff meal, we'll be embarrassed in terms of face."
Abel said a little embarrassedly, he was just like Shinomiya, thin-skinned.
"No, Abel. Let him do it!" Shinomiya stopped Abel from doing anything, "I still have to discuss the recipe with you!"
Although he was talking to Abel, Shinomiya's eyes were always staring at Shirou. He still remembered his previous loss to Shirou. It would have been fine if he was slightly better, but the opponent defeated him with a crushing momentum, which was very unpleasant.
"I understand, you don't have any taboos, right? If not, I can just make some home-cooked meals."
After a quarter of an hour, Shirou came out carrying five plates. The employee meal on the plate is hamburger meat.
"You've been busy for a long time, let's get some hamburger to replenish your energy!"
"Hamburger meat? It looks really appetizing. Emiya Do you often make this?" Gao Wei asked.
"Absolutely. This is actually the first dish I made. At that time, I would still cook the food, but now I can't do it anymore, so don't worry." After saying this, Shirou's face felt gentle.
In fact, the reason why he first learned to make hamburger meat was because Kiritsugu liked to eat it the most. Later, as the number of people in the family increased, over time, it became dinner every Friday night.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?" Shinomiya noticed something was wrong on Shirou's face. Although he was awkward, he was generally a good person.
"No, it's nothing. I just thought about some interesting past events." Shirou shook his head and put the plate on the table, "For example, a girl who can eat five bowls of rice in one meal without gaining weight."
