Chapter 168: Date
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shi Bin was an active and outgoing person, but he had been in the venture capital company for so long that he only wanted to stay at home on the weekends!
Unexpectedly, just as Shi Bin sat down to eat, Shi Bin was pulled upstairs by his sister to choose clothes for her.
Shi Yi still had a lot of clothes and she tried them on one after another. Although Shi Bin said that every piece was very good-looking and suitable for a date, Shi Yi picked out one or two flaws in every piece of clothing and gave a hard pa.s.s.
They stayed up until one in the morning. Shi Bin was very sleepy and could barely stay awake. During this period of time, he was woken up by Shi Yi a few times before he managed to stay awake for a little longer.
Shi Bin’s eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Shi Yi pitifully and said, “Sister, my biological sister! My beloved sister! 1 beg you, let me sleep. I really can’t keep my eyes open anymore!”
Shi Yi saw that he was really pitiful and must be really tired, so she let him go.
Shi Yi only fell asleep at three in the morning. When she was woken up by the alarm the next day, she turned it off and continued sleeping. When she opened her eyes again, it was already eleven o’clock.
When Shi Yi saw the time, she suddenly sat up and shouted, “Ah! Why is it already eleven o’clock? Why didn’t the alarm ring?!”
She didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately got up to take a shower, wash up, change her clothes, and put on makeup. Then, she quickly went out and applied lipstick on the way.
Even though she had rushed to the restaurant as fast as she could, she was still half an hour late.
She was very embarra.s.sed and looked at Xu Zhi, who was sitting beside her, as she said guiltily, “I’m sorry, I overslept…”
Initially, Shi Yi wanted to say that she was stuck in a traffic jam or had something on at the last minute and didn’t want Xu Zhi to know that she was sleeping in, but in the end, she still felt that honesty was the most important, so she told the truth.
Xu Zhi chuckled. “You came at the right time. The ingredients still need to be processed. The bluefin tuna that just arrived this morning and the freshest sea urchins were only processed by the chef at noon. They should be almost done now.”
Shi Yi loved sea urchin sushi the most, especially the sweet aftertaste of sea urchins. However, if it wasn’t a coastal city, sea urchins couldn’t be guaranteed to be fresh. This was also the reason Shi Yi rarely ate high-quality sea urchin sushi inland.
When she heard Xu Zhi say that the sea urchins had just arrived this morning, Shi Yi looked at the chef who was handling the ingredients with sparkly eyes.
The decoration of this j.a.panese restaurant was j.a.panese-style. The bar surrounded the kitchen, and the chef cooked every dish under everyone’s watch.
Shi Yi felt that the knife in the chef’s hand was like a pair of scissors cutting fabric. Every move was smooth and was cutting the most exquisite clothes.
Seeing that Shi Yi was so engrossed, Xu Zhi even explained the origin of this restaurant to her. “The chef of this restaurant ran a restaurant in j.a.pan for 30 years and only met the person he loved when he was almost 50 years old. That person was Chinese, so he chased her all the way to China. Later on, he successfully married the person he loved, but he couldn’t bear to let her leave her hometown and go to j.a.pan, so he decided to settle down here and opened this j.a.panese restaurant.”
After listening to Xu Zhi, the chef even gave Xu Zhi a thumbs up and said something in j.a.panese. Xu Zhi also replied in j.a.panese.
Shi Yi didn’t understand what they were talking about. All she could think about was that this chef had been in business for 30 years!
In j.a.pan, only those with good culinary skills could run a restaurant for a long time. A chef who had run a restaurant for 30 years probably had amazing culinary skills!
This time, Shi Yi looked forward to the next dish even more and couldn’t wait to try it.
The ingredients that had just been transported in the morning were immediately processed, so they were indeed very fresh..
