Eight o'clock in the evening.
Hell's Kitchen, Yukihei Teishokuya.
The restaurant was buzzing with activity. Diners filled the tables, creating a lively atmosphere.
Soma Yukihira moved gracefully between tables, balancing a food tray in his left hand and effortlessly handling the dishes. His skillful movements were a testament to his experience.
Tsuna, on the other hand, was also busy helping out, but his awkwardness and flustered demeanor made him appear less coordinated compared to Soma.
"A Gang, Dad wants to drink tea, go and get him a cup of tea," Dad called out from the cash register, raising his finger.
"One more thing."
"Dad wants a green bean sandwich."
Tsuna, who had just handed his father the hot tea, looked confused and scratched his head. How was he supposed to make a mung bean sandwich?
"Leave it to me," Soma Yukihira offered, taking over the task.
Before long, the fragrant mung bean sandwich emerged from the oven. Dad enjoyed his tea and the sandwich with great satisfaction.
In contrast to the bustling restaurant, Yukihira Joichiro was busy in the kitchen, preparing his ultimate Italian dinner. He expertly seasoned and cooked each dish, focusing on every detail.
He started by making traditional Italian polenta. After adding a touch of olive oil to the water and grinding rye corn into flour, he created a smooth, creamy corn soup. He then added salt, pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, filling the kitchen with a delightful aroma.
The polenta was carefully poured into a baking tray, set to solidify, and baked to perfection. Roasting tomatoes complemented the polenta, enhancing the flavor with their sweet and sour taste.
Yukihira Joichiro meticulously prepared the tomatoes, adding garlic juice, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and thyme to perfect the taste. The polenta, with its beautiful cross-grilled patterns, was topped with roasted tomatoes and goat cheese, making the dish irresistible.
Next, he focused on making slow-cooked beef cheek with wide egg noodles. The beef cheek, cooked to tenderness, was served with pappardelle, an Italian-style wide egg noodle. The sauce, enriched with a hint of plum juice, added a refreshing touch.
Finally, Yukihira Joichiro prepared espresso panna cotta with cinnamon hazelnut caramel slices for dessert. He soaked gelatin in water, combined it with sugar, cream, milk, and espresso, and created a silky smooth panna cotta. The caramel slices, with their crisp texture and rich flavor, completed the dish.
With the dishes ready, Yukihira Joichiro called Soma Yukihira to handle the next guests' orders and brought the Italian dinner out himself.
"Please enjoy!" Yukihira Joichiro said with a smile as he presented the meal to Mr. Thompson, his supplier.
Mr. Thompson was visibly impressed as he sampled the food. The polenta with roasted tomatoes was bursting with flavor, blending the fragrance of corn, the sweetness of tomatoes, and the saltiness of cheese into a delightful experience.
The slow-cooked beef cheek with wide egg noodles was a revelation. The beef was tender and juicy, and the noodles perfectly complemented the rich sauce. Thompson marveled at the dish, appreciating the balance of flavors and textures.
Finally, the espresso panna cotta with cinnamon hazelnut caramel slices captivated Thompson. The panna cotta was delicate and creamy, while the caramel slices added a crispy, sweet finish.
"This is incredible! The flavors, the textures—it's sublime!" Thompson exclaimed, his excitement evident.
Yukihira Joichiro smiled, satisfied with the success of his ultimate Italian dinner.
As Thompson savored the last bite of his dessert, his admiration for Yukihira Joichiro's cooking was clear. He put down his spoon and looked up with a satisfied grin.
"This dinner is truly outstanding. I've never experienced anything like it. The balance of flavors, the quality of ingredients, the technique—everything is perfect. You've set a new standard for Italian cuisine."
Yukihira Joichiro's eyes twinkled with pride. "Thank you, Mr. Thompson. It means a lot to hear that from you."
Thompson leaned back in his chair, clearly content. "I'm glad to have come by tonight. Your cooking is exceptional, and it's clear you pour your heart into every dish. If this is what you serve regularly, you have a lifelong customer in me."
"That's great to hear," Yukihira Joichiro said, nodding appreciatively. "We're always striving to bring the best to our guests."
As the evening continued, the restaurant remained lively with the hum of conversation and the clinking of dishes. Soma Yukihira, back in the kitchen, was busy preparing the next set of orders, his focus sharp and his movements fluid.
Tsuna, still working alongside Soma, had a newfound confidence after seeing the success of Yukihira Joichiro's dishes. He moved with more purpose and efficiency, helping to keep the kitchen running smoothly.
With the dinner service winding down, Yukihira Joichiro took a moment to reflect on the evening. The satisfaction of delivering a well-executed meal, the joy of seeing Thompson's reaction, and the warmth of the bustling restaurant made the hard work worthwhile.
He glanced at Soma, who was now taking a short break and chatting with Tsuna. There was a sense of camaraderie and achievement in the air, and Yukihira Joichiro felt a deep sense of fulfillment.
"Good job tonight, Soma," Yukihira Joichiro said as he approached his son.
"Thanks, Dad," Soma replied with a smile. "It was a lot of work, but it was worth it."
Yukihira Joichiro placed a hand on Soma's shoulder. "You've come a long way. Keep this up, and there's no limit to what you can achieve."
Soma's eyes shone with determination. "I will. I want to keep improving and making dishes that make people happy."
The night concluded with the restaurant quieting down as the last guests departed. Yukihira Joichiro and Soma took a moment to clean up and prepare for the next day. The kitchen, now calm and orderly, was a testament to their hard work and dedication.
As they locked up the restaurant and stepped outside, the cool night air felt refreshing. Yukihira Joichiro and Soma walked side by side, their spirits high after a successful evening.
"Let's head home," Yukihira Joichiro said, glancing at Soma.
"Sounds good," Soma agreed.
They walked together, their conversation flowing easily as they recapped the day and planned for the future. The night was a fitting end to a day of culinary excellence and shared success.
As they reached their home, Yukihira Joichiro looked at his son with a sense of pride. The journey of cooking, with all its challenges and triumphs, was something they shared deeply.
He knew that, with Soma by his side, the future was bright and full of possibilities. The bond between father and son, strengthened by their passion for cooking, promised many more successful dinners and unforgettable moments to come.
