To test your command of the kitchen, each day Fei Yi will present you with a problem that the kitchen chef must step in and handle. It may be something innocuous, or it may be something large. Either way, most of this test lies in your writing.
To determine how successful you are at handling the problem, roll one 10-sided dice, and compare that number to your charisma points. If the number is higher than your charisma, you have failed to contain the problem, and Fei Yi will have to step in. If the number is within 2 points under your charisma, then you have barely managed to succeed against the problem. If the number is within 4 points under your charisma, then you have succeeded well. You are no prodigy, but you have certainly handled the kitchen and inspired further confidence in you from the other chefs. And finally, if the number is 5 or more points under your charisma, you have masterfully handled the situation and inspired great confidence in you from Fei Yi.
Once you know your result of the day, you must write about how you handled it - your thoughts and feelings, the situation and its resolution or failure. This event will be judged by both shopowners.

Despite the best efforts of the hosts and hostesses, one of the customers stomps back into the kitchen, flinging his plate on the counter so hard that it's a surprise he didn't crack it. "What is this swill?!" he demands, pointing at the food. It takes only a glance to see that the dish is not to normal standards. A thick puddle of oil lingers in the bottom of the plate, suggesting that the oils and fats were never strained from the meat. "This is how you serve your guests?! How DARE you call yourselves chefs! I demand to speak to someone in charge."
His voice is booming, carrying easily into the din of the dining room and drawing attention from other customers. If something isn't done to stop him quickly, you may lose the entire day's business... and there is likely to be long-lasting repercussions.

Pinyin looked shocked for a moment, then Quickly recovered. He listened, waiting patiently for the customer to finish. He was shocked to see the quality of the food on the plate, and looked around the kitchen. Who ever cooked this, and whoever ALLOWed it to be served that way... well he didn't know how he was going to fix this...

Sighing Pinyin placed the newly cooked meal on the table. He just Barely squeaked by. "Knowing the works of our ancestors, and APPLYING them... well my goodness. They are two very different things, I hope that I can improved before i have to do this again!!!" he said. The rest of the kitchen still seemed a bit shaken, but Pin understood. Perhaps he would not have been so vocal or so loud, but he wasn't really passionate about food. He probably would yell and throw just a big a fit if he was given a book in the same condition as this meal.

The woman sends back her food four times before finally setting foot into the kitchen herself, as hosts look on helplessly. She is a determined woman with sharp features and cold eyes. "You!" she says, her eyes staring straight at you. "Is this the way you treat your customers? I keep asking for my buns to be a nice, dark golden brown on top, and yet they're barely even colored when I get them! You're obviously not steaming them long enough!" Her eyes darken. "Well? What are you going to do about it?!"

Pin looked at the woman calmly as she continued with her rant. When she took a breath, he began to speak in a soothing voice.
"Ma'am I understand your problem, I don't know why your rolls are not browning as they should, and I will PERSONALLY see that your plate is corrected." he said as he examined the roll.

Before the woman went back to her seat, Pin asked her to point out the color she would LIKE the top of her roll to be. Once she was gone, he quickly started working to alleviate her problem. WHO was cooking all this food... ? This should not be happening as often as it does!!! and what is will the service staff just letting who ever walk into the kitchen... SUCH a health violation. He made a mental note as he pulled the buns out of the oven... and compared it to the color the woman had selected. It was ALMOST perfect!

The customer hasn't stepped foot into the kitchen, but the hosts all look worried, and one of them murmurs that he wants to speak to a chef. Fei Yi watches them for a moment, then looks over at you, pointing. "Go out and attend the problem," he directs. "A proper kitchen works as a team, even between chefs and hosts."

Here are the Charisma Tests for the day I missed. Please post clearly which day you are answering when you answer. You may answer all three at any time.
Wed (22)
A customer has sent one of the hosts into tears with his tirade, and it doesn't look to be ending. It's clearly about the food, but the customer is frothing too much to make any real sense. Fei Yi sends you to handle the problem.
Thurs (23)
"You call this a meal?!" The words precede the customer into the kitchen, and when she arrives, she is large, overweight and obviously furious. "It's barely a mouthful! You cannot call what you gave me a 'portion!' It's a spoonful at best!" She glares at you, challenging you to make any sort of comment. "I want more!"
Fri (24)
One of the hosts comes in with a horrified expression. A customer has collapsed in the dining room, and it was only healing magic that saved him. The host shows Fei Yi the plate, and Fei Yi looks at it carefully for several long moments, tasting the food and then looking back. "He was allergic to shrimp, wasn't he?" As the host nods, Fei Yi calls you over and hands you the plate. The siu mai, always made with shrimp unless for a special order, has a few specks of pink shrimpmeat among the pork. "A mistake was made," Fei Yi says calmly, instead of pointing out whoever made the dish. "Show me you can calm the family now that our customer is safe."
