Next, another busy day began.
"Two plates of salmon sashimi for table ten."
"One tuna sushi for table nine."
"Three portions of sea bream sashimi for table twenty."
Business was still very good today, and everyone in the kitchen was busy.
Satou held a kitchen knife, and with a gentle stroke, a sea bream was cut open from its belly. Then, with a scrape of the knife, the internal organs were immediately removed to the side.
Then Satou laid the sea bream flat on the cutting board. For a moment, flashes of knife light were like snow, and in no time, the entire sea bream was transformed into thin slices of sashimi, neatly arranged on the plate.
Then, Satou followed suit, processing two more sea breams at an extremely fast speed.
"The sea bream sashimi is ready," Satou called out.
"So fast!"
"Yeah."
"Three plates of sea bream sashimi made in five minutes."
Everyone in the kitchen looked at Satou with amazement.
Now, Satou's fusion with the Dragon Cells was already very high. Both his strength and speed far exceeded ordinary people. What seemed impossible to others was as simple as eating and drinking to him.
Soon, Satou completed all the orders.
"Let me help you cook this broth," Satou said, walking over to Hinako Inui and offering his help.
"Oh? Satou, have you finished already? That was fast!" Hinako Inui praised, patting Satou's shoulder and smiling softly. "Then I'll leave it to you."
Seeing that Satou not only sliced all the sashimi at an incredibly fast speed but also had spare time to help others, everyone was once again amazed.
"Are all the Far Moon interns this terrifying now?" Hoshino Miyuki sighed.
Soon, the dining peak was about to end, and the number of customers in the restaurant gradually decreased, allowing everyone in the kitchen to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"If it weren't for Satou this time, I might have made mistakes again," Ono Kenro said with a smile.
"Yes," the others also nodded. If it were usually this busy, they would definitely be flustered, but with Satou's addition, they felt much more relaxed, able to handle any number of orders.
"I wish you were a permanent chef here," Hoshino Miyuki said half-jokingly, though she knew it was impossible. After the internship, Satou would definitely return to Far Moon.
The others also felt a bit regretful.
"Megumi, you should rest too." Satou saw Tadokoro Megumi still washing dishes, so he walked over and handed her a glass of water.
"Thank you." Tadokoro Megumi's cheeks immediately flushed as soon as her eyes met Satou's, and she lowered her head.
Drinking the water in the glass, Tadokoro Megumi felt it seemed sweeter than usual.
At this moment, a waitress walked in and said, "The customer is not satisfied with this Tofu Tempura and wants to cancel the order."
"Another complaint?" Hoshino Miyuki sighed.
"It seems this dish is still not mature enough. Let's temporarily remove it from the menu and slowly improve it before reintroducing it," Hinako Inui pondered for a moment and said.
"Hmm, that's the only way," Hoshino Miyuki nodded, though disappointed.
Tempura dishes were her responsibility, and this Tofu Tempura was a dish she had recently introduced. However, she had received several cancellations in a row, which made her very frustrated.
"Tofu Tempura?" Tadokoro Megumi on the side said with some surprise, as Tofu Tempura was something she had heard of for the first time.
"Oh, the method for this dish is to mix tofu and shrimp paste, then wrap it in seaweed, and brush it with egg wash before frying," Hoshino Miyuki explained.
"What a great idea!" Tadokoro Megumi exclaimed, truly worthy of Kirinoya's head chef.
"But this dish is not mature enough, and the feedback after its introduction hasn't been very good," Hoshino Miyuki said with a wry smile.
"Can I taste it?" Satou walked over and asked.
"Oh, of course." Hoshino Miyuki was momentarily stunned. Although she didn't understand why Satou wanted to taste this dish, she didn't refuse.
"If you're trying to find flaws, don't bother. Before the dish was launched, it was approved by all members," Kiyomi Kobayashi kindly reminded him. "As for where it falls short and how to improve it, we can only explore that slowly in the future."
Satou ignored him and picked up his chopsticks, taking a bite.
The crispiness of the seaweed and the batter were very compatible. With one bite, the salty flavor of the seaweed emerged, and the soft paste made of tofu and shrimp inside was exceptionally tender, carrying the umami of shrimp and the beany aroma of tofu.
"The taste is good, but it feels like it lacks layers," Satou pondered for a moment and said.
"Layers?" Hoshino Miyuki was instantly stunned.
"Yes," Satou nodded and said, "The shrimp and tofu parts are too soft when eaten. If you add crisp carrots, king oyster mushrooms, and dried bamboo shoots, the texture will become much richer."
Everyone was a bit stunned upon hearing this, clearly not believing that this would improve the dish.
A flash of lightning, however, crossed Hoshino Miyuki's mind, and she quickly said, "I'll go try it right away!"
There was still some tofu and shrimp paste left. Hoshino Miyuki quickly chopped carrots, king oyster mushrooms, and dried bamboo shoots and added them in.
A few minutes later, the improved Tofu Tempura appeared before everyone.
Hoshino Miyuki eagerly began to taste it.
She blew on it to cool it down, then put it in her mouth.
The improved tempura indeed had a much richer texture, and the king oyster mushrooms added a fresh vegetable flavor.
Even though only three ingredients were added, the taste was significantly more delicious.
Seeing Hoshino Miyuki's expression, Hinako Inui and the others were all surprised.
"Did the taste really get better?" Kiyomi Kobayashi quickly asked.
"Yes!" Hoshino Miyuki nodded excitedly, her gaze towards Satou filled with admiration and curiosity.
To think that just by tasting one bite, he could make such a transformative change to this dish was truly amazing!
"What? No way!" Everyone was a bit incredulous and began to taste it one after another.
Subsequently, expressions of disbelief appeared on all their faces.
"This is truly incredible. It really feels like a completely different dish," Ono Kenro exclaimed.
"Of course, Satou is God Tongue!"
Tadokoro Megumi said from the side.
"God Tongue?"
Everyone immediately quieted down, their faces filled with shock.
