3 ONLY FOOD Restaurant

Orion exited from the shower and dried himself with a towel. He quickly wore a white shirt, casual jeans and put on his sneakers.

He looked at his phone at 4:30 PM. He began walking outside the apartment. He reached the street and then began strolling towards the market area of the locality.

With a walk of a few minutes, he finally reached the area where a huge rectangle building was situated on the side of the road.

The parking space of the restaurant (Only Food ) was half full. He walked towards the side and here entered through the back door.

Upon entering he was greeted by the various side chefs working on the various dishes. They were all his co-workers here in the shop. Some were full time while some were half time like him.

He greeted all of them one by one. They replied with the same enthusiasm as all were pretty familiar with him.

He walked past them to the center place where an old man was cutting steak.

He patted the back of the woman who was working along with him on the side.

She turned back and greeted Orion cheerfully.

"Hey, Dear. You are again early. Your shift starts at five, you remember no?"

She was a middle-aged woman named Kang Qiu. All of the staff call her Chef Qiu as she is one of the main chefs along with Daichi(the sushi expert main chef ), the old man Tyson ( mentor of Orion), and Mona ( star Main chef ).

She handed over the stove and board to Orion after he quickly wore his head garb and black chef jacket. He quickly began his daily work of helping with the Tyson.

Still, now Old man Tyson hadn't responded to Orion. It was his style when he was focused on a dish he rarely speaks other things before completing his dish.

He knocked on the board,

"Orion, chiffonade some basil leaves and celery quickly"

Orion quickly lifted his chef's knife and stacked the washed basil leaves into the tight pack. He folded them tightly and began to roll them up.

He cut them across the hamburger style into small pieces suitable for the steak dish.

He presented the cutter vegetables to Tyson who quickly tossed them into containers in which he was deep frying Steak. Soon delicious aroma began to rise out of the container.

He quickly presses the bell to call the waiter to take the fresh hot dish to the VIP chamber.

It is true if you are a regular patron, food will be prepared by the side chefs for you and sometimes by the main chef if they had the mood to do so.

But if you eating in the VIP chamber of the restaurant then all of your food will be prepared by five-star chefs. You can also choose a chef of your liking to cook a dish if you want to.

Tyson seldom prepares the order on-demand now. Most of the time it is his wish that matters because he was the most senior of chefs. No one can dictate to him what to do. But his food is always the best no matter how he prepares it.

Sometimes you can find him cooking for the most basic of the orders for regular patrons while sometimes he cooks for the VIP guests.

Rumour in the staff was that he was with this restaurant for more than thirty years that is from the date of its opening. When asked about it he laughs it off saying he was just lucky to get employed.

But the surprising thing was he was always first to arrive and last to go from this restaurant. All in all, he was the most respected and higher up in the eyes of the staff.

They have several times met the owners but they always take respectfully to him. Personality-wise Tyson was a funny and jolly man. He cracks jokes with the staff and teaches whoever asks advice from him thus another reason for his respect by the staff.

Tyson exhaled and grumbled,

"I almost forgot how to make that dish. Damn these people always demand such things when I am on the verge of losing that particular recipe."

Orion chuckled,

"Isn't that good or you will lose your secret recipes otherwise."

"Haha, Don't underestimate me, kid, I have a special bank locker with all of my recipes like the owner of the Kfchickens."

Chef Qiu who was preparing a chicken breast dish on the back stove quipped,

"Beware, old man, Someday one of us will kill you to get a hand on your secret locker."

All of the chefs and workers began to laugh at her joke.

This was the atmosphere of the restaurant that's why none of the workers working here ever complained about work.

Orion himself was happy working here in the shop because of such lovely workers and staff.

The whole night passed with Orion preparing many dishes for the busy period of the restaurant.

Sometimes Tyson will suggest something from the side otherwise he will walk rounds to help all of the side chefs.

It was about midnight, Orion quickly finished the chicken noodle soup for himself and Tyson and Chef Qiu.

He finished making three servings and presented them to the table where Tyson and Qiu were waiting. Both of them tasted the soup and praised it.

"Not bad Orion, But what are you doing here? Your job ends at 10 right?"

"Don't worry Qiu. He always stays up late. I often tell him to take off early but look like he still doesn't have a girlfriend." Tyson chuckled.

"Come on. When I will get girlfriends I will demand paid holidays ok. And also at home, I have to cook myself to eat before sleeping so it is best I whip up something to eat while here and then straight go to sleep."

They chatted and laughed while eating their food when chef Qiu bid her farewell. Orion also got ready to leave as he opened his jacket.

"Ok Tyson, Tomorrow is a holiday but I will be off at one tomorrow. "

Tyson who was checking something on his mobile said without looking up

"Ooh, date? "

"Nah, I got to attend my friend's party tomorrow. It will be fun to eat some other chef's cooked food."

"Ok, you can take off early. Tomorrow will be the hard day "

He sighed to himself by browsing his phone.

Orion chuckled and excited the restaurant towards his apartment. He quickly changed into his briefs and tank top and jumped over the bed to sleep.
