Chapter 390 Soma Yukihira: Is Seiya’s store so awesome now?

"A transfer student like you can't possibly challenge the Totsuki internal students who have been through three years of hardship in junior high school."

When he heard Erina's words, Yukihira Soma also smiled confidently and said, "I don't know how cruel your so-called Totsuki internal promotion is, but stop looking down on others, you self-righteous woman!
The training of the third year of junior high school? Don't get me wrong, for kids like me and Seiya, who grew up in our family's restaurant, we started picking up kitchen knives at the age of three.

From the basics of cooking such as side dishes, knife skills, flipping the wok, controlling the heat, etc., day after day, to cooking, we have been going through at least ten years!
Have you ever spent at least ten hours a day in the kitchen? Have you ever stayed up all night for days on end researching new dishes?
Unlike you Totsuki guys, we have over a decade of combat experience. What you call a mere three years of training in the academy is nothing to us."

Erina was undoubtedly very angry when Totsuki Gakuen, which she was proud of, was mocked by Soma Yukihira. However, she wanted to refute it, but she could not find any point to refute it.

Now the only thing he was curious about was whether Soma Yukihira and the others really did as they said, starting to pick up kitchen knives at the age of three and receiving various training since childhood.

Regarding the argument between Soma Yukihira and Erina, Nakiri Soemon did not choose to interrupt.

As a leading figure in the culinary world, he only needed to glance at Soma Yukihira's hand to know that the other party was not lying.

He was only fifteen years old, but the thick calluses on his hands were not something that someone who had only studied cooking for a few years could have. They were proof of their hard work and sweat.

Nakiri Senzaemon didn't know how much Saiba Joichiro had taught his son, but in terms of basic skills alone, there was probably no one in the entire Totsuki Academy who could compare to Soma Yukihira.

"I am quite aware of your father's cooking skills. Even the current instructors at Totsuki are far inferior to him.

"And you, who were taught by him since childhood, lost to that young man named Wenren Shengzai. Can I say that his mother, Wenren Qingying, is a better cook than your father? Or, in other words, he experienced more hardships since childhood than you?"

Hearing Nakiri Senzaemon say that he is not as good as Seiya, Yukihira Soma was immediately dissatisfied and directly retorted: "I am not inferior to that guy Seiya, he is just temporarily ahead now!

I don't know how Aunt Wenren trained Seiya, but I'm sure that Seiya must have kept it a secret from me and increased his training.

As for your question about who is a better cook between Aunt Wenren and my dad, I'm not really sure about that, because the dishes they cooked when they ran the restaurant were just their own creations.

In short, from what Seiya and I think, both of them are guys that we can’t surpass at this stage.”

Nakiri Senzaemon and the others chatted as the car soon drove to the street where Seiya and his friends' restaurant was located. However, the driver quickly turned back and said to Senzaemon, "General, the road ahead is blocked because there are too many people."

Hearing what his driver said, Senzaemon looked out the window in surprise and said, "It seems that the friend you mentioned is doing quite good business."

As for this situation, Yukihira Soma said as if he was used to it, "It's not surprising. Seiya's restaurant has always been doing well. Now that my restaurant is temporarily closed, it's natural that all the customers have gone to his restaurant."

Due to the crowds, the car could not go any further, so Nakiri Senzaemon and his companions had to get off and walk.

When getting off the bus, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato looked at the long queue in front of them with expressions of extreme surprise on their faces.

Because of her gifted "God's Tongue," Erina is often invited to review the cuisine of renowned restaurants, but she rarely sees a restaurant doing so well. Setting aside the restaurant's quality, in today's fast-paced world where time is money, the fact that so many people are willing to waste their time waiting here, and seeing everyone leaving the restaurant with such satisfaction, is enough to prove that the cuisine must be unique.

"Let me take you to the side road. Otherwise, if we queue up with them, I'm afraid we won't even get a turn. That Seiya guy closed early again."

Wenren Restaurant used to have good business, but the number of people lining up was definitely not as large as this, so when he saw the grand scene in front of him, Soma Yukihira was a little surprised.

"Now I am even more looking forward to the dishes made by your good friend."

Originally, with his status as the commander-in-chief of Totsuki and Erina's "God's Tongue", if he wanted to go to that restaurant for dinner, not to mention queuing, it would not be too much to ask for a special car to pick him up and a bed to be prepared for him.

However, this time they came uninvited, so seeing the long queue in front of them, they could only shamelessly walk along the path with Soma Yukihira.

When Soma Yukihira took Erina and a few others through a small path and first arrived at his own Yukihira restaurant, and then tried to enter the restaurant through the connection between the two stores, he was stopped by a waiter.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry. If you want to dine in our restaurant, please provide your number plate before entering."

"Number plate?" Looking at the waiter who stopped him, Yukihira Soma was confused. He didn't remember that eating at Seiya's restaurant required such a thing...

And who is this guy in front of me? Isn't the waitress hired by Seiya the same annoying woman from before?

How long has it been since that woman was fired by Seiya?

"I'm sorry, but we can't let you in without a number plate because there are so many guests waiting for their meals.

You can get a number here first, and we will notify you when it is your turn to dine."

When he saw the other party apologize with a smile and then handed him a note with the number "666" written on it, Soma Yukihira was completely stunned.

"Um...I'm a friend of your boss. Just talk to him and he'll let us in."

Although he didn't know whether the number "666" in his hand referred to the number of people or the number of tables, it was obvious that by the time his number was called, it would be too late. Soma Yukihira thought about it and decided to directly use the authority and take the fast VIP channel.

"Sir, please don't embarrass us, because you are the eleventh person today who has been mentioned as a friend of our boss."

Soma Yukihira: “(￣◇￣;) What the hell, do I really need to lie to you?
My name is Yukihira Soma, and the Yukihira restaurant next door is my home. Seiya and I grew up together, naked!"
