Chapter 688 The Little Master of China
"Okay, so big..."
Haruna Oofeng's Chinese is not very good, so she can only use short vocabulary and exaggerated expressions to show her shocking mood.
She couldn't stop looking at the huge creature in front of her, and she blushed unconsciously.
Before coming, she thought that Pu Tong would be kind to them, but she didn't expect that he would be so kind to them and prepare such a good place.
The studio Pu Tong prepared for them was really big. Even though they were the only two painters, it was fully equipped and had a lot of freedom. It even had things like a coffee machine.
For their new employees, this working environment is simply heaven...
Over the weekend, he asked Iori Yukino to bring the painter to visit the studio, and this was how the scene just happened.
Yu Wanwan and Lin Yuxi didn't come over today. It's not that they didn't want to come, but that they were so popular right now that it was really inconvenient to get together.
"Can you please stop making such an expression when you say such things?"
Pu Tong rubbed the center of his eyebrows and asked Iori Yukino to tell her that she should work when she works and don't act too outrageous. Originally, these sisters were a bit charming, so it was a bit outrageous to make such an expression.
In comparison, Ibaraki Kaoru on the side looks very normal. She is a straight black schoolgirl wearing pink glasses frames and looks very well-behaved.
The two young cartoonists have very different styles. One is a royal sister and the other is a younger sister. In a sense, they are complete in variety...
As far as Pu Tong knew, the two of them started learning comics creation from Yukino's father when they were in middle school, and then graduated from high school and became official apprentices. Calculating their age, they were only a few years older than them.
It is worth mentioning that in Sakura, it is normal for students not to go to college, and there are even fewer students who go to college.
There are many reasons for this situation. The tuition fees of Sakura University are generally not cheap, and you may not be able to find a high-paying job after graduating from university, which makes going to university very cost-effective.
Of course, there are also reasons for the economic recession in the Sakura market and excessive social pressure and excessive competition. Although Sakura's university education also has excellent educational resources around the world, for many people, university is not the only choice.
Just like Haruna Ofeng and Ibaraki Kaoru, although they did not go to college, it is a good choice to engage in the comics career that they love and can fight for their whole life.
Just when Pu Tong was thinking about how to divide the work between them, Ibaraki Xun carefully poked Pu Tong's arm, as if he had something to say to him.
"Xiao Xuezi, translator."
"Here we come!" Iori Yukino hurriedly came over. Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with Pu Tong's words. He was not a maid and eunuch. What was this name?
Ibarakixun raised his head and muttered for a long time, and peeked at Pu Tong from time to time. It seemed that he had a lot of important things to say.
"Yeah, yeah, I understand, I see, that's what I'm going to convey..."
Iori Yukino was listening and playing riddles, as if she was expecting to be angry and wanted to make him anxious.
"If I don't tell you, I'll fire you."
Pu Tong didn't talk nonsense and didn't look at who the boss was now. He actually dared to do this with him and directly gave her an advantage. Why not make her work overtime until late at night every day and take crazy days off during holidays to let the little Sakura girl feel the domestic The dangers of beating workers...
Iori Yukino immediately shivered when she heard this. She was indeed a small-time worker under Pu Tong, and her job was at risk.
She had no choice but to live under someone else's roof and endure it.
How do you say that sentence? What about being short and bowing your head? She didn't learn the idiom well and couldn't remember it.
"How dare you not bow your head now that you are under the low eaves."
Pu Tong knew what she was thinking just by looking at her ears and cheeks. This guy was amazing. Even though he was so short, he actually had the nerve to say that his company was short and he didn't want the year-end bonus!
"Okay, okay."
Iori Yukino stuck out her tongue and quickly began to explain Qixun's words to Pu Tong.
"Xun said that most of the work on "Natsume's Book of Friends" was completed by Ofeng. She only occasionally added some scenery pictures, so I wanted to ask if you have any other tasks for her."
So conscious?
Pu Tong was a little surprised. He hadn't even started arranging new tasks for them, but she actually took the initiative. What kind of job was this?
However, he can also understand that all cartoonists hope to have something drawn by themselves. "Natsume's Book of Friends" is written by Xu Feng. Xun can only watch the good sisters prove themselves step by step, but she has no chance to prove herself... …
In comic creation, the style of painting is very important. Since it was written by Xu Feng from the beginning, it would not be good to change the style of painting rashly, and readers will see it at a glance.
That's why she wanted to ask Pu Tong for a new work. Whether as a creator or an employee, she wanted to be responsible for the production of a comic by herself.
She remembered Yukino saying that the boss had many stories in his mind, and it shouldn't be too much to ask for a work of her own.
Ibaraki looked at Pu Tong with burning eyes, his glowing eyes seemed to be actively asking, give me a little more...
But this is also in line with Pu Tong's idea. He has already decided on the next work of the comic workshop, and now it is arranged together.
"Ask Xun, are you interested in comics about Chinese food?"
Drawing comics must have an element of love in it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to continue drawing.
Iori Yukino was stunned when she heard this. Last time she casually told Pu Tong that she wanted to read a food-themed comic, but she didn't expect him to actually mean it?
Food and comics are two elements that are difficult to match together, because if you just look at the food introduction, it is better to look at the press and recipes. It is really not easy to pay attention to the story and the characteristics of the food at the same time.
She even wondered if Pu Tong had a crush on her. How could he come up with such a tricky subject? However, Iori Yukino is not an ordinary girl, and Pu Tong is already a dandy, so this kind of thing is obviously impossible.
Ibaraki nodded seriously after hearing this. During the month she came to the capital, she was most interested in Chinese food. If there were comics with similar themes, she would certainly not refuse them.
Although she doesn't know much, she can learn. As long as she can draw a comic she is responsible for, she can do anything!
The comic work Pu Tong wants to produce is naturally "The Little Master of China".
He first learned about this work because of the animation, but after the animation finished and the story had no ending, he went to make up the comics specifically.
The comic mainly tells the story of the talented chef Xiao Dajia who went to Yangquan Restaurant to learn cooking skills. After obtaining the qualification of a special chef, he made several friends with similar interests in cooking, embarked on a journey to find legendary kitchen utensils, and fought against the dark cooking world.
"The Little Master of China" has been promoting positive energy from beginning to end, "cooking brings happiness to people". Compared with most secondary and passionate comics of the same period, the ideas conveyed by this animation are truly It's eye-catching.
A food comic creates ups and downs of cooking duels, presents sparkling dishes, and subtly spreads the idea that "cooking brings happiness to people".
Pu Tong likes this work because tasting delicious food can easily bring people a sense of satisfaction and happiness.
A steaming hot pot meal in the continuous rain, or a cold and delicious cold drink in the scorching sun, just thinking about it makes people feel wonderful. In this anime, the responsibility of delivering happiness through food is directly transferred to the chef’s mission, which is not unwise.
Chefs should bring happiness to people through cooking. The core of this work is so positive. He wants to present this story to everyone.
