Chapter 369: Family Restaurant on the Brink of Bankruptcy

The menu at Yukihira's family restaurant is mostly Japanese cuisine, which suits the tastes of local people.

As for Seiya's restaurant, the dishes on the menu are almost all from the Zhonghua family. Despite the differences in foreign flavors, they are able to be on par with Yukihira's restaurant, or even slightly suppress it. This is enough to show how good their restaurant's business is.

Of course, the main reason why the family restaurant has such good business is because Seiya’s mother is very capable.

But since Seiya's mother returned to her hometown a month ago, the business of their restaurant has been getting worse and worse.

Whether in terms of cooking skills or the taste of the dishes served, Seiya is naturally far inferior to his mother, a big figure in the dark culinary world.

Many people who had come here because of the reputation went back disappointed after eating Seiya's food.

The only customers who still come to Seiya's house for dinner nowadays are some old customers who are nostalgic for the past, and Seiya's friends and classmates like Kurase.

However, if a restaurant's business relies solely on sentiment and connections to retain customers, then the restaurant will not be far from bankruptcy.

To be honest, although the food made by Seiya is not just his mother's, it is definitely not bad, and is even better than many ordinary family restaurants.

But the point is, his restaurant is on the same street as Yukihira Restaurant.

There is no harm without comparison. The prices of dishes in family restaurants are similar, and Wenren Restaurant and Xingping Restaurant are not far away.

The people who come to eat are neither suckers nor fangirly Sakura girls like Kurase, so it goes without saying how to make a choice.

"Hey, that guy is probably pushing himself again. A week ago, he suddenly told me that he wanted to undergo some special training, and that he would reopen the shop only after the training was completed.

But for an ordinary family restaurant, if the food is not so delicious, the customers would have left long ago if the business was suspended for such a long time.

It was fine when Aunt Wenren was here, but now almost all of Shengya's customers are old customers who miss the old times. He has suspended business for such a long time this time, I am afraid that even those old customers will run away."

(It would be quite out of place if Seiya's mother had a single surname, so I decided to just follow the local customs and give her the surname Wenren (￣￣).)
Because the two restaurants are on the same street, Seiya and Soma Yukihira can be considered best friends who grew up together.

However, compared to Soma Yukihira, who has been gifted in cooking since childhood and is the son of the world, Seiya's cooking talent is no match for him.

As early as the days when Seiya's mother returned to her hometown, Soma, seeing Seiya being constantly complained by customers, suggested that he temporarily close the restaurant at home and come to his house to help.

After all, they opened a shop on the same street. Although Seiya's mother was aloof, over the years, Yukihira Joichiro and Seiya's mother were quite familiar with each other.

Yukihira Joichiro admires Seiya's mother very much because as a woman, she has such amazing cooking skills. He even challenged Seiya's mother to a food battle, but was rejected by her.

In the eyes of Soma and Joichiro, the Wenren Restaurant without Seiya's mother is not the original Wenren Restaurant at all.

Although it might be a bit too much to say, the dishes Seiya is serving now are simply destroying the reputation and brand that their family has built over the past decade. They decided to suspend Seiya's business and let him work part-time at their restaurant, which was actually out of consideration for Seiya.

After all, Seiya is the only one left now, and it is quite difficult to maintain the operation of Wenren Restaurant.

If Seiya continues like this, not only will the reputation that Wenren Restaurant has accumulated over the years be ruined by Seiya, but even Seiya's own livelihood will be in jeopardy.

Close the store first and work at their Xingping Restaurant. This will not only reduce losses but also won't damage the reputation of Wenren Restaurant. When Shengya's mother Wenren Qingying comes back, it will be easy to reopen the store with her excellent cooking skills.

Moreover, Yukihira Joichiro has always believed that Seiya comes from a culinary family. Although he has never seen Seiya's father, his mother Wenren Qingying's cooking skills are so amazing. As her child, Seiya's talent should not be so mediocre.

When he thought of Wenren Qingying's usually taciturn and cold attitude, Yukihira Joichiro became extremely suspicious. Wenren Qingying might be impeccable as a chef, but she probably wouldn't teach others.

If Seiya came to work at his house, and he tried to help train him, maybe he could completely stimulate Seiya's culinary talent?
Joichiro couldn't bear to see Seiya's "talent" being buried, nor could he bear to see the sign of Wenren Restaurant being smashed by Seiya. Out of sympathy for the strong, Joichiro asked Soma to discuss with Seiya and temporarily come to his house to learn and work.

As a good friend of Seiya, Soma naturally agreed with his father's proposal.

After all, although he didn't want to see his brother driving a Land Rover... Oh no, he didn't want to see his brother becoming a chef, but he also didn't want to see his brother living too miserably.

Soma Yukihira has always believed that anyone who loves cooking can become an excellent chef. What if Aunt Wenren really doesn't know how to teach others, and Seiya can become stronger by learning from her experience?
However, when Soma proposed his idea of ​​being with his father to Seiya, Seiya rejected him several times.

The last time Soma Yukihira made this suggestion was when he let Seiya taste his dark cuisine last week.

It was also at that time that Seiya suddenly told him excitedly that he wanted to go into seclusion for special training for a period of time.

And when he resumes business, he will definitely be able to successfully restore the reputation and fame that Wenren Restaurant had previously lost, and step on Soma Yukihira under his feet.

When Soma Yukihira heard what Seiya said at that time, he was naturally full of disbelief and thought that Seiya was just bragging.

As a gay friend who grew up together, Soma Yukihira really doesn't know whether Seiya has any hidden talents. After all, family inheritance is a secret, so Soma Yukihira has never seen Aunt Wenren teaching Seiya.

Although Soma Yukihira didn't know whether Seiya had a talent for cooking, he was quite clear about Seiya's cooking skills.

Although Soma Yukihira could not defeat his father and Seiya's mother Aunt Wenren, it was easy for him to defeat Seiya.

After just one week of special training, you want to crush Soma Yukihira? Isn't this just looking down on him!
The gap between them now is just like the gap between him and Joichiro. Such a huge chasm cannot be erased or even surpassed by a week of closed-door special training.

Those who know you think you are going for special training, and those who don’t think you are just using cheats!
