Chapter 40 Menu Of The Restaurant
They socialized for around one hour until Theo called the kitchen staff to the kitchen and he left the salon staff with June. She would train them on how to work in a high-end restaurant.
As they arrived at the kitchen, Theo gave them a paper to each of them.
"This is the menu of the restaurant. And in these 3 days before the opening, we will perfect our cooking time and flavor of the dishes so that when we open, we get the high excellency I demand." Theo said sternly.
"Yes, chef." they all replied as they went through the menu.
"As you can see, we will have three menus that the client will choose which menu they want."
"The first menu we will have a salad as an appetizer and the details of the salad you see there. For the main course, we will have a traditional Lasagna, a dish I brought to this world. And for dessert, we will have a cremè of sour fruits with a crunch of sweet banana."
"For the second menu, I chose to be the theme of the ocean. So, all the ingredients of the courses will have sea origin. The appetizer will be seaweed flavored with my sauce and fried shrimp. For the main course, we will have fish soup, but this soup is different. I want to make this soup look like the sea, with fish, squid, scallops, and all other types of sea creatures. But this soup won't be too messy as it sounds. It will be like a tranquil sea that with each spoon the client will discover another sea creature. And for the dessert, we will have a souffle of sweet seaweed."
"For the third menu, I chose to be a vegetarian theme. For the appetizer, we will have white bean hummus and sun-dried tomatoes. And for the main course, we will have a Ratatouille with goat cheese, the Ratatouille is also my original recipe. And for dessert, we will have a blackberry and apple cinnamon crumble cake." Theo finalized his explanation.
All the dishes he was serving in his restaurant came from his past life that he saw on cooking shows and after tasting and seeing that this world didn't have anything like it, he chose to put them in his restaurant.
Especially the three main courses. The lasagna, fish sea soup, and ratatouille. They were extremely delicious and Theo was sure these dishes would be famous worldwide.
"The explanation and recipes of the dishes are here. You guys can look and ask any questions you have." Theo said while passing another stack of papers.
They studied the recipes for around 30 minutes when Kimiko raised her hand.
"Chef, the recipe of this lasagna says that it uses fresh pasta. How are we going to implement that on the fast-paced service?" Kimiko asked.
"Good question, Kimiko-san. I have a technique that can make the pasta fresh for a few hours so before we open the restaurant, we will prepare all the ingredients that take more time to make."
"Per example the fresh pasta of the lasagna, my personalized sauces, the cremè and other ingredients."
The other asked some other questions and after some time Theo took them to cook.
It was better to cook all the dishes first so that they could see how he cooked these dishes and meanwhile he could solve any doubts they had.
After Theo cooked all the menus by himself while explaining all the steps of the processes, they felt even more admiration for Theo.
They tasted and they had to admit, it was so delicious that they wanted to each much more of these dishes.
After they tasted, they all wanted to start cooking. And like that, they started their training on how to cook perfectly in the least time possible.
On a different part of the globe, at that moment, two men were drinking tea inside a 15-story building that hovered at the center of a metropolis.
This city had different characteristics than the Sakura Abode Country's cities. This city's name was Alabaster, and it was one the biggest cities in the world. It was localized in the Bald Eagle Country, which together with the Sakura Abode Country made the top 2 potencies of the world. Although the Sakura Abode Country was more powerful than the Bald Eagle Country.
As the Bald Eagle Country was formed from immigrants of a side clan of the Pendragon Clan that didn't agree with the peace treaty with the Yamato clan.
Although the side family of the Pendragon clan prospered in the new land, they still couldn't surpass the Sakura Abode Country. Although they swore that they surpassed but the rest of the world knew that the Sakura Abode Country was like a low-key person that if insulted would become the most powerful foe of the other.
These two men were in Alabaster City to discuss a business deal with an industry of the Bald Eagle Country.
"Father, we should be signing the contract by tomorrow. We can return to Sakura City after that." one of them said, he was a middle-aged man with purple hair that exuded confidence.
"That's good. After all, I only accompanied you because I wanted to meet my friend." the old man said, he was an old man, but his posture and look made him look much younger.
These two were the Yamada Ezume and his father Yamada Takeo.
While the two were drinking tea, both received notification of the incoming message. These phones were their personal cellphone and very few people knew them. So, they immediately took it out to see the message.
As they checked the message, they both received the same message from the same number.
It said:
[You are invited to the grand opening of 'THE SPARK' restaurant at Elffire City.
The Chef Theodore hopes to have the pleasure of your presence on September 19th ]
"Father, did you also receive the invitation from Theo?" Ezume asked.
"Yes, it seems that young Theo is already opening his restaurant. We must go. I want to see this restaurant that Theo put so much effort into." Takeo said as he drank another mouthful of tea.
"Hazel is arriving from her trip the day after tomorrow. I will ask her if she wants to go. Elffire City is where the Lionheart Family resides after all." Ezume said.
"Yes, you have to treat Little Hazel more properly. I don't want my daughter-in-law to think Yamada men don't treat women well. Do you understand?" Takeo said sternly.
"Yes, father." Ezume said exasperatedly. It wasn't his fault that his wife had an adventurous side and he had to stay back to take care of the family as the current head of the family.
The two of them then started talking about miscellaneous things as they drank their tea.
