"You are on good terms with that child, right? Apart from her sister who comes to visit her frequently these days, no one else comes."

"Hmm... friendship and all that, it's really good."

"Ah... right here."

After turning the corner of the stairs, followed by the nurse, Satang stopped in front of the door of one of the wards.

"Well, I have other patients to take care of. The child is out of danger now, although he hasn't woken up yet... But this situation won't last long."

The nurse who said this turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

Sato stood in front of the door, raised her right hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. It seemed that senior Yukiko Yumi was not there.

If you're not here...

That's great.

The door was then opened.

In the ward covered by the dazzling light of fluorescent lamps, a bed was placed in the most conspicuous position in the middle. Medical equipment that was difficult to understand was placed around the bed. The curves on the instrument screen were jumping regularly. Covered by white blankets, a girl with conspicuous red hair lying on the bed appeared in the field of vision.

Sandu sat down on a chair near the bed.

The oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose was covered by a layer of turbid gas. Yukiko Asami, lying on the hospital bed, had her eyes closed. Her red hair pressed behind her was particularly eye-catching against the white sheets.

"It's been a long time, Asami-san."

Satou leaned in close to her cheek and looked directly at Asami's unresponsive face.

"Oh, what a poor fellow. Mami-san looks so ugly lying on the bed, and the scar on her face... probably won't disappear in her lifetime, right? Really... I really don't want to see you being laughed at by others, but this world is not tolerant of ugly people. You want to work hard to live after this, and face the strange looks of others while keeping nothing from happening. This is simply impossible for you, right?"

The sugar that said these words was close to my cheek.

He brought his lips to Asami's.

"If you die like this... you can save yourself a lot of trouble, Asami-san, you should understand, right? You should be very clear about these things, right? This more convenient option is the most suitable for you, right?"

no respond.

Well, there won't be any response.

After all...you have become such a pitiful person, the only thing you can do is to survive, and you...are really pitiful.

Sugar stood up.

When he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and uttered "oh", then his body tilted slightly and tapped his right cheek regularly with his index finger.

"Thanks to what Asami-san did, my relationship with Bunto has become even better than before. Hmm... See you next time. I'm going to go back and enjoy this happiness. As for Asami-san, just reflect on why you chose to go against me in the first place."

Afterwards, the door was closed.

But...what Sugar doesn't understand is——

After she left, the beeping sound from the medical instruments in the ward gradually changed from gentle at first to rapid.

----------

"I'm back--"

When she opened the familiar entrance door, the first thing that came to her mind was Nanami's familiar figure. Today was her first day as the store manager. Would she feel uncomfortable? Would it take time to adapt to a new job? She would inevitably think of these things.

There was no response from the unusually quiet living room.

After all, this is just a habit. It doesn't matter even if I don't get an answer. Wen Renjun may still be in charge of the coffee shop. Since the other party has no signs of returning... the focus at the moment should change.

So, Sugar entered the kitchen and focused his main attention on making dinner.

Ever since Wenrenjun came back from the hot spring hotel, he has mentioned more than once that "if I have time, I must try Chinese food." I don't know why he is so obsessed with this type of food...but since it's his idea, I'll try it.

However... when it comes to Chinese cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is probably food like "Mapo Tofu" or "Dumplings", but the literati did not accurately mention his specific preferences...

In this case, we can only try it bit by bit.

Sugar wears the apron she uses for cooking outside her uniform. Chinese restaurants are often seen on the way home. It may be much easier to buy ready-made side dishes directly. However, this would seem insincere. Besides, no matter what it is, you have to go through the process of starting from scratch. In short, try to rely on your own efforts first.

In order to understand Chinese cuisine to the greatest extent possible...Sato bought some books on the relevant subject at a bookstore near Shibuya, because Japanese cuisine is very different from Chinese cuisine in terms of cooking methods. From some of the content in the books...this is indeed a kind of cuisine that can easily stimulate the appetite of others, and the steps are relatively simple. Maybe you will be able to adapt to it quickly after getting familiar with it.

"Anyway, let's work hard!"

Sugar starts to wash the green peppers bought from a nearby supermarket... First, chop the peppers into small pieces, and the pork also needs to be cut into long strips... It will take a little longer.

Onions, ginger, and garlic... Onions and ginger are very common, but... Is it really okay to add this strange ingredient with a pungent smell to dinner? She had this worry in her heart.

But... this is what the cookbook says... In that case, let's give it a try.

Chapter 291 The feeling of being cared about

Dinner... was completely unfamiliar Chinese food that I had never tried before, shredded pork with green peppers. As for dumplings... Shatang had thought about it, but due to time constraints, I'll think about it next time.

Put the pork cut into thin strips in the bowl, follow the steps mentioned in the recipe book, and then...

"Eh? Are you going to do this?"

Sugar is a little hard to believe. After all, the recipe book mentioned that you need to use your hands to mix the seasoning with the pork thoroughly...

Is it really okay?

Sandu was confused. Should I wear gloves before doing this? However, there were no gloves at home... I had to do it anyway.

Anyway, it feels a bit weird to do this.

She had never tried anything like this before.

Although you use your hands when making rice balls, you have to put your hands into the sticky pork to mix the seasoning evenly...

"Do you really want to do this?"

Sugar double-checked the details mentioned in the recipe book.

Indeed...the steps were not wrong.

Although it felt awkward, I had no choice but to go ahead.

So, after preparing herself mentally, Sugar washed her hands under running water, took a deep breath...and felt the cool touch of the pork on her fingertips.

Stir... Repeat this action. The discomfort I felt at first is now much relieved. How long should I do this action? If it ends too quickly or too slowly, it will affect the taste, right? Sugar is not sure, so he uses his left hand to open the Yahoo website on his phone and enters the Q&A section.

[How long does it take to stir the green pepper and pork? ]

After submitting the question, I received a response within a few seconds.

(Answer 1)What is this?

(Answer 2) Are you sure? Who would know such a thing?

(Supplement) Oh - sorry, sorry, you are a high school girl. Ah, you are really hardworking. You are so cute.

...It's really disgusting, this guy thinks with his genitals.

Satoshi's Yahoo profile picture is a selfie, so that guy would notice it right away, right? Never mind, I'll change it to 'chiikawa' next time, so that the other party won't notice these troublesome aspects.

In addition-

Sugar turned her eyes towards the screen.

Next... there is one last answer.

Sugar held her breath and focused all her attention on it.

(Answer 3) The little sister wants to make Chinese food... Not bad, you will definitely like it after trying it. Well... If it is the stirring step, it only takes one to two minutes.

I see--

Although this user with the nickname 'Lin'...his avatar is a guy who looks like he has worked in a special industry like my father, but he seems to have an amazing level of knowledge in the relevant areas, and the aspects mentioned on his homepage are all related to Chinese cuisine.

Well, pay attention to each other.

Sugar put down her phone and noticed the time...ah, it seems like it's been more than two minutes?

She hastily withdrew her hand and began to look at the next step.

Next words...

----------

Working in a coffee shop, in general, is not as easy as one might imagine.

Recruiting staff, training and scheduling... these aspects take a lot of time. In the upcoming Halloween, a series of promotional activities and store decorations will be carried out. Since Liuli senior announced his resignation, these complicated tasks have been handed over to Nanami alone.

However, although the work is more tiring than before, the nature of the two is different. No matter how hard he worked before, he would experience the same scene every day. Now, as long as he can train employees like Liuli senior who are meticulous in related work, he can save a lot of trouble as the store manager, and his work will become easier.

Anyway, keep working towards this direction.

"Yuki, what week is your working year today?"

Nanami turned her attention to the waiter who was wiping down the customer dining area.

"Week 5, what happened to Manager Nanami?"

"The fifth week... You've been working longer than me, so I guess you've already mastered the job to a high degree of proficiency, right? In that case..."

"No, I resist that kind of thing. The manager wants me to plan the Halloween plan, right? Please don't leave this kind of thing to the clerk. The manager should be responsible for it personally. In addition, the manager knows that Kanagawa-senpai warned me before leaving that if I interfere in something I shouldn't be responsible for, she will definitely come back and tear me to pieces as soon as she finds out."

...I was rejected before I could even finish my words. Yuuki-kun is so cold.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it.

Whether it's Senior Liuli... or Mr. Aragaki, or Miss Mei, they have probably all been troubled by related aspects.

In this case, it would be better to adapt to this kind of work as soon as possible.

Regarding the planning of the coffee shop... There is less than a week left until Halloween. Can you really handle everything in this period of time? Nanami Fumito.

Nanami felt shaken by this.

However... since it has come to this, we should not hesitate in these aspects. Anyway... for now, we should start with...

"If the store manager is really out of ideas, there are far more than one coffee shop in Shibuya. If you take a look at it——"

The shop assistant Yuki made a suggestion at the critical moment.

This sentence immediately gave Nanami a sense of hope.

yes......

Since you have no inspiration, why not learn from others... Yes, learn from others. Since you have no experience in these areas, you should observe what your peers do... You are worthy of being a clerk in Jie Mu, you found the answer to the problem in one go.
