The Knight Eldania S2
80: Eldania

TAPS.......TAPS........TAPS........

" W-what are you doing here, this is the kitchen, not the place to play." said the old man with a long hat coiled around his head to one woman who suddenly barged into the kitchen.

" I know it's the kitchen. But your boss has already let me here. "Eldania's answer is briefly the reason why it breaks into the kitchen of a restaurant, which is actually for chefs and chefs, entering the kitchen is considered taboo or not allowed for outsiders.

" What to believe if only from speech?.  " This chef demands a proof in order to trust this girl's words completely.

" Just ask the person directly." chirped Eldania while grabbing an apron hanging beside the closet and immediately Eldania used immediately. 

" I've allowed it, can it be used as evidence to make you believe?. " A voice greeted them all.

Eldania glanced to the side, Erich suddenly came and was now leaning on the door leaf with his arms crossed in front of his chest. With half of his face covered in masks, Erich stared at all the employees working in the kitchen. 

They were all still silent with the conversation earlier and after his arrival to the kitchen.

[Suddenly he can be like a boss. I'm just guessing he's just an ordinary young man whose fate is like mine, but his current actions. ] Eldania glanced at Erich in silence while her hands were washing her hands.

" N-no sir. " His reply, then looked at the girl. Even though he still looked at her in disbelief, but his mouth was forced to say. " Please lady use the kitchen." the Chef told Eldania.

[He was more polite before Erich came. ] Eldania thought he noticed the old man who immediately changed his speech and behavior.

" Do what you want to do here as you please. " Erich opened his voice again. " Pick one to be your assistant, it will speed up your work. "after saying so, Erich leaves.

Eldania then looked for someone who could be made an assistant among the 10 people still standing in the kitchen, the chef was excluded.

SRASSH......

SRASSH........

Hearing the sound of water from someone washing the dishes, Eldania tilted her body to the right, then her pair of eyes saw something she could see. In the back corner there is someone at work.

" ..................... " Groaning all over, looks reluctant face of all of them, so what can be done, Eldania decided to choose him. 

TAPS.......TAP......TAPS.......

"..................?. " Unaware that someone was approaching her, this young girl immediately turned to the left side.

" I choose you. " Eldania pointed to the woman who was now in front of her.

" Yes.....?. " Ask with his innocent face, because he did not know why the woman who was still wearing the school uniform in front of him suddenly spoke to him.

" I'm choosing you to be my assistant for the next few hours. " Said Eldania again, telling her why she chose this girl.

[ Assistant?. Why did he choose me to be his assistant?. ] When they glanced at those who incidentally were the senior chefs, they looked to show their relieved faces. " b-well. "

Getting the answer, Eldania said to them again. " Since I've found my assistant, you can all work again. "

" Come!, work again!, the first order has come!. " Shouted the chef who became the main chef in this restaurant.

" good!. " They all answered with great enthusiasm.

" What's your name?. " Eldania asked this two-pronged woman.

" Arnest's. " 

" Arnest's. " Eldania tried to call out her name while glancing towards the brown door which was likely a food storage warehouse. " How long have you been working here?. "

" 2 month. "

" It's new. " Eldania walked towards the warehouse door, but her left hand immediately grabbed the two empty basins and gave them to her new assistant, Ernest. " I'm Eldania, just call Dania. "

" l-yes.nona Dania. "

Again called miss, Eldania actually felt reluctant, but as if it was a mandatory call, inevitably had to accept it.

" This time I'll trouble you. Get me all the materials I wrote and wash them thoroughly. " Eldania thrust a small piece of paper at Ernest and left Ernest right after Eldania opened the door for him. 

[Why me?. ]Ernest stared at the small paper with a confused mind. He was not confused because he could not read the writing, but was confused that there was someone who ordered him to become an assistant.

While Eldania was standing again in front of the stove that was deliberately emptied by one of them, then his hand took out a knife.

" What will you cook?. " 

" Curious?. " Eldania glanced at one of the chefs next to her who had a fairly tall body and made her have to look up if she wanted to see her face, but Eldania did not do it because she was lazy.

" ................... " 

" Why are you here if you don't know what you want to cook?. "

" ............., I'll know if I've seen all the ingredients. " Kni Eldania stared at the pan that was being used to make sauces for beef. " Are you not tired of cooking steak?. " Task Eldania with her disinterested face.

[Does this man know how to cook?. ] A little hesitant because it looks like this girl from the Academy looks reluctant to cook. " Forced, due to guest requests. "

" Every time make cow rendang, goat satay, or chicken satay...it is better, than the boring cow steak. " Eldania's words instantly turned into a soft mutter. " Sate...why am I craving?, what do you guys do too, it looks like it's good too?. " Eldania then nodded to herself.

[What is he talking about?. ] Not understanding the slurred-sounding remark, this chef continued to lift his dish and take it elsewhere.

" I-this.I've washed everything. " Ernest went straight to Eldania with a basin filled with washed food.

" Did I scare you?. " But Eldania asked Ernest another question while glancing at the direction he had been looking down on.

" N-no!. " Ernest immediately answered him quickly, making the kitchen instantly silent for a while.

But everything returned to normal after Eldania looked at all of them. " Get me a plate and a glass of milk. " Eldania ruled it again.

After a while, Ernest had already brought a glass of milk and a plate.

" What will you use this milk for?. " thrust it into Dania.

" What?, of course because I'm thirsty and want to drink milk. " Eldania took a glass of milk from Ernest, then she retreated backwards until her two legs met the box stacked behind her. Eldania sat down and drank it straight away.

" Do you really want to cook or drink and eat here?. "someone suddenly asked.

" both. " Sungkas Eldania stood up again and handed the empty glass to Ernest to wash, then Eldania began cooking the first dish. 

Eldania held the knife and took out 2 purple eggplants.

" Aubergines..it's a vegetable from commoners, the feeling in the warehouse there is no purple eggplant, where did you get it?!. " The head chef said to Ernest.

" I-it.I quoted him on the rooftop." replied Ernest. " Your own master planted it and I have also been allowed to wear it. " 

" Huh....!, do you want to make food from low-grade materials like that here?!. " One of the other chefs asked in a protesting tone.

" What's the problem?, the one who eats isn't you. " Sindir Eldania to this chef. 

“ K-you. “

“ Is not reasonable, if anyone asks because they want answers?. “ Eldania continues to slice purple eggplant quickly, so that less than a minute and a half of eggplant is finished in the iris. " Ernest, soak this in water that has been given a little salt. "

Eldania completely ignored all the reactions from all of them, because the goal in the kitchen today is not to argue.

[He.., he said.Simply he answered. ] Not liking.

Ernest obeyed Eldania's orders. He immediately took a small container and gave it raw water that had been mixed with salt, then put the eggplant slices into the salt water.

After that tomato and zukini she sliced thinly all.

" What are you really going to do?. " Task Ernest after doing his part earlier.

" Changing one's point of view, eggplant is made by this lowly vegetable. Ratatouille, " replied Eldania. [French dishes. ] 

Make a sauce, arrange all slices of tomato, eggplant, zukini into one heat-resistant container in a circular and hose-slip shape. After that, water it with sauce.

" Bake. " So deftly Eldania had already handed the results to Ernest to put them in the oven.

" Now...are there flat noodles?. " Eldania was wailing, no knife seemed fit to chop the meat. If any.... [It doesn't look sharp from mine. ] Eldania frowned at the sight of a knife across the kitchen.

" This time.what's-!. "when a chef standing next to Eldania is back with a skillet already clean of sauce for yado beef steak, and wanting to ask what he was going to make, the pair of eyes of this chef were perfectly rounded. [ D-day.ini. ]

" What's up?. There are no knives here except this. " Answer Dania with a servant. Then he showed me a sparkling blue dagger, and he had just taken it from behind his short skirt. 

" But that-....! " 

" From the titanium beta material, it's sharper than this knife. " Eldania told him briefly, then compared the knife Eldania had used to hers. [After all, I'll wash it too. ] Hold on to it and wash the dagger itself. " Ernest, beef. " 

" Yes!. " In a flash Ernest picked up the beef and gave it to Eldania. 

Eldania received the meat and weighed it with his own hands. " It's only 500 grams, no problem. "

After pondering from his own estimation, Eldania then sliced the beef with his dagger, and chopped it gently because there was no tool to grind the meat.
