Chapter 168 Disruption
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her sister sitting down with her back to her. Zuikaku finally didn't have to pretend to be indifferent anymore and could finally look at the corner of the izakaya openly.
"Zuihe, what are you doing here in front of me?" The pink-haired girl sitting opposite Zuikaku raised her hand, tapped her fingers on the laptop keyboard in front of her, reached out to her ears, and took off one earphone.
"I'm here to play with you." Zuikaku looked down and saw that the table in front of her was full of food, no less than the one at Akagi's place, the only difference was that there were more snacks here. "Ah, Taiho, what are you doing, writing a novel?"
"No." Dafeng said, she stretched lazily and picked up a big fortune. "I'm a little stuck, I don't know what to write, let me watch the video."
"Oh, what video?" Zuikaku asked. She held her cheek with her hand and seemed to be looking at Dafeng, but in fact, her eyes were focused on something farther away.
"Complaint video." said Dafeng.
"Oh." Zuikaku paused, "What rant video?"
"It's a video complaining about bad movies, complaining about the screenwriters' lack of common sense, learning elementary school math in college, and the setting that the poor live in high-end single apartments and beach villas, and that the male and female protagonists will not call the police when they encounter bad guys regardless of life or death." Dafeng said that after she finished eating the daifuku, she tapped her fingers on the keyboard and the video started playing. She tapped again and the video stopped.
"Really?" Zuikaku said.
Even Taiho noticed that Zuikaku was not right, and was absent-minded. She glanced at Zuikaku, and turned her head in the direction Zuikaku was looking, only to see the admiral and Akagi sitting together, and sitting opposite them were Kaga and Shokaku. She was surprised and asked, "When did the admiral come?"
Zuikaku came back to his senses and said, "The Admiral has been here for so long, didn't you know?"
"I don't know." Dafeng said. She was wearing headphones and was only focused on watching the video. She had no idea what was happening around her.
"I admire you." said Zuikaku.
Daihou didn't say anything. She just slowly withdrew her gaze. What's the big deal about being an admiral? Finally, she stayed on Zuikaku for a long time, as if thinking about something.
At the same time, after listening to Akagi's explanation and learning the purpose of the admiral's visit, Shokaku said with a headache: "You asked me if I had any opinions... I just know how to cook a little bit, and I don't know anything else. I don't know what opinions I can give."
"I don't know what to suggest, I don't know anything..." Akagi said, "Shokaku, aren't you going to apply for the position of cafeteria manager?"
"I'm not preparing." Shokaku said, "I don't know how to manage at all. Even if I participate, I will definitely be eliminated."
"Even if you can't be the cafeteria manager, being an employee is not bad. Don't you have any ideas at all, Shokaku?" Akagi asked. Having no competitive spirit and just getting by is a problem that many Japanese people have.
Shokaku replied, "If you need me, I'd like to work as a cafeteria employee."
Kaga leaned against the wall, looking at Shokaku who was sitting next to her. One was Mrs. Lie and the other was Mrs. Shokaku. Although they were both wives, there was no way to compare them... Perhaps a simple wife like Shokaku was also a cute point?
Mutsu was busy in the kitchen.
If it weren't for Akagi and Zuikaku, they might have taken the wrong medicine today and taken so much, there would actually be nothing to worry about at this point.
"Isuzu, you send these things over first, I'll go over later." Mutsu heard from Isuzu that the admiral had come and was with Akagi, and Akagi asked her to come over. In fact, she couldn't wait any longer.
Isuzu didn't mind delivering something, it was just a matter of walking a few steps. She was just curious, wasn't this bitch super anxious just now, forcing her to help, and even wanted to leave all the things to her, why was she suddenly not in a hurry: "What do you want?"
"How should I explain it to you? It's so troublesome..." Mutsu put the tray of snacks in Isuzu's hand, put his hands on her shoulders, turned her shoulders to the kitchen door, and then gently pushed it, "Anyway, I'll be there in a minute."
After watching Isuzu leave, Mutsu took off her apron and ran to the attached bathroom. She tidied herself in front of the mirror in front of the sink to see if her hair was messy. Sometimes, a little messiness would be more stimulating to men. Should she pull her clothes down a little to reveal her cleavage? So, she was not alone with the admiral, but Akagi asked her to do something, so there was no need to do so much.
Mutsu arrived late, sat down beside the tatami platform, and asked, "What does Akagi want to talk to me about?"
Akagi explained again the purpose of Su Xia's visit and asked, "What does Mutsu think?"
"Admiral, what kind of opinions do you want to hear?" Mutsu sat down for a while and was about to climb onto the tatami, but then he found that there was no place left.
Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. It is not easy to put a plan into practice.
Thanks to the little guys, it was also his fault for agreeing without thinking it through. After the plan was released, he thought about it carefully and found that there were many problems. Su Xia thought about it and said, "My idea is that the canteen needs to recruit a manager and enough employees. Management mainly tests management skills, and cooking skills are also important, and then..."
Su Xia laid out all his ideas, incorporating the opinions he got from the Chinese restaurant.
Mutsu hesitated.
"Like Yixian said, purchasing a large amount of equipment, purchasing many ingredients directly as finished products , etc., one person in charge of management, and another ten to fifteen people, is definitely enough."
"After you buy the equipment, if you think there are areas that need improvement, you can consider letting Yubari and Fubuo take a look... That's a matter for the future, so let's not talk about this for now."
"Didn't the Admiral say that if you compete for the management position, you must submit a business plan? Do you have any ideas? Do you have any requirements for the business plan? For example, who can provide the best service with the least money? Do you have special opinions on the equipment management and dishes of the cafeteria? How to manage the cafeteria's opening hours, rest time, and employees..."
"As for the cooking competition... I'm not targeting Yixian. The competition shouldn't be about who can make the most sumptuous and luxurious dishes. The competition should be about who can make the most and most delicious dishes in the shortest and specified time. Who can make more dishes that are more to everyone's taste."
"There is another point that I think is very important. We also have to compete to see who is better at using ingredients. In a large cafeteria, there will inevitably be a lot of stale ingredients. Isn't it a waste to throw them away at will? I think that as long as the ingredients are not spoiled, they can be reused. How to use stale ingredients and how to use leftovers to make delicious food is also a very important test item."
"What are the requirements for the project plan, what are the items , and which are the inspection points? The admiral should send them out as soon as possible so that everyone can be prepared."
As expected, Mutsu has been managing the izakaya for a long time and has a lot of management experience and opinions.
Su Xia nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Now she really felt that there was no problem at all with the reform of the cafeteria. All she had to do was prepare according to the steps.
They drank, ate snacks, and discussed how to prepare for the reform of the cafeteria. Many people gathered spontaneously in the square not far from the izakaya.
Wherever there is excitement, Wisconsin is always there.
"Wichita, everything is up to you. Don't let us down." Wisconsin would certainly not show up. She would only hide behind the scenes, make plans, sow discord, and watch the fire from the other side of the river.
Wichita is full of energy, not stupid. She said, "No, the admiral has the right to go anywhere, whether it's a Chinese restaurant or an izakaya. Why should we interfere? We can only intervene when Akagi and the others get the admiral drunk and have ill intentions."
"It will be too late by then." Wisconsin said, "It's better to be safe than sorry, understand?"
"I don't understand. I'm not going. You go if you want to go." Wichita was unmoved. Everyone knew Wisconsin's bad character. As long as Wisconsin tried hard to promote something, he would oppose it.
Wisconsin looked around and saw that there were many people who came to join in the fun tonight. But there was no big boss. Big bosses would not show up easily and would only send their subordinates. Then, those British, German, etc. people were not very familiar, but the American ones were familiar. They were not easy to coax , so Wichita could only be fooled.
"I'm not asking you to cause trouble. You can just pretend to go to a pub for a midnight snack." Wisconsin advised earnestly, "As long as you stay in the pub, they will definitely not be so bold as to act recklessly."
"Why don't you go?" Wichita asked back.
Wisconsin sighed and said, "Okay, let me put it this way, why don't we go? You must go..."
"Why?" Wichita asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll think about what to say." Wisconsin said. It was really hard to come up with an excuse right now. "Routes, we all took different routes."
Wisconsin thought for a moment and said, "If you ask us to go to the pub now, our image will be completely ruined. But you are different. In the eyes of the admiral, your image has always been like that. It doesn't matter even if you rush into the pub to disrupt things now. The admiral will only think you are cute."
"They'll just think I'm being unreasonable," Wichita said.
"The problem is that you have always been like that, that is your characteristic." Wisconsin sneered, "You have only one way to go, there is no other way to go. Either you fight or you will be lost in the crowd, think about it yourself. In terms of gentleness, thoughtfulness, and virtue, you are not even as good as Lexington and Yixian."
Wichita remained silent. She had to admit that Wisconsin had a point, but...
"That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself," Wisconsin said. "Or we can go back."
Isuzu was lying on the bar. Even though Akagi said she had no plans to launch a surprise attack on the admiral, she was always on the lookout, especially for the American type, as there would definitely be people coming to cause trouble.
Wichita is here.
Isuzu quickly left the bar and stopped in front of Wichita.
"Wichita?" Isuzu asked, "What are you doing in our pub?"
"I'm here for a midnight snack," Wichita said.
"I'm sorry," Isuzu said, "our izakaya is closed today."
"Aren't we usually open until two or three o'clock?" Wichita said.
"Today is special," said Isuzu.
Wichita stared at Isuzu, even though it was just a light cruiser, Isuzu was not willing to be outdone.
"Bald Eagle Bell McCann..." Wichita said suddenly.
"What?" Isuzu asked.
Wichita took a deep breath.
"The bald eagle Bell McCann is missing, and we suspect you have captured him."
"Now we have to go in and search."
