Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Author: Meng Manzhi

Summary:

In Tokyo, everyone who is about to become a corporate slave has to learn cooking, and many students choose to study at Totsuki Academy for a few years after finishing high school. As a high school graduate whose dream is to become a househusband, Hachiman Hikigaya came to this legendary school at the request of his father, Shiroichiro.

So, a new story begins.

Erina: "I can't possibly admit the cooking skills of a guy who can't even hold a knife, but why, I can't resist the feeling of having my taste buds repeatedly rubbed."

Alice: "Every time I eat Hikigaya-kun's food, it feels like I'm caught in the middle of a huge army and can't extricate myself."

Yukinoshita: "Hikigaya-kun, please don't put your weird hobby on the table. If you do it in private, maybe you can consider it."

Yuigahama: "Aki, my cookies are ruined again, can you help me make some?"

Please, I, Hikigaya, am really here to be a chef!

Chapter 1: Hikigaya's Youth Cooking Story Is Wrong As Expected

"Onii-chan, whose egg fried rice is better?"

"Son, I know you would never lie."

Almost everyone focused their attention on him. Komachi's somewhat anxious expression and her father's calm look formed an extremely sharp contrast at this moment.

In order to ensure that the results were not biased, Hikigaya decided to try the two bowls of golden and fragrant egg fried rice again. If one observes with the naked eye, there is indeed no difference, whether it is the color, moisture, distinct grains, or the aroma that constantly rushes into the nose, they are almost exactly the same.

However, what really matters for a dish to be called a dish is the stimulation it brings after eating it. If a dish can be judged by its appearance, it is obviously irresponsible.

Facing the expectant gaze of his sister Komachi, Hikigaya picked up a spoon and put the distinct golden rice grains into his mouth.

Instantly, the aroma of the rice immediately occupied Hachiman's mind. The perfect burnt aroma combined with the freshness of the green onion sprouts, although it was the simplest dish, was cooked in a completely different style.

Seeing her brother stuck in a dilemma, Komachi looked very proud, as if she was sure to win this time.

In a food PK, the food that comes into play first will always be dominant. One reason is that if the subsequent food is not stimulating enough, it will not be able to dilute the impression brought by the previous food. This is even more true in a PK with the same food, because the dishes made by top chefs are very similar, so if you can take the lead, the probability of winning will become very high.

At the same time, the customers who had been following this PK also began to discuss it:

"Komachi is really amazing! Could it be that she will finally defeat Joichiro this time?"

"I've been looking forward to this day so much. To the Hikigaya family, Komachi is simply a culinary genius. It looks like she will be more than capable of inheriting this restaurant."

"So, we are the ones who are lucky enough to have this treat! Hahahaha..."

"Compared to Komachi, Hachiman, who is also from the Hikigaya family..."

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. How do you know that Hachiman's cooking skills are very low? In my opinion, people who can be referees and judge dishes will not be bad at cooking."

The noise outside was very noisy, but Hachiman didn't take what they said to heart. After trying Komachi's fried rice, he put the spoon on Shiroichiro's fried rice.

Just one bite...

"I really want Komachi to win, but..."

Hachiman slowly stood up and said to the two of them:

"The winner has been decided, and the winner this time is still Dad."

Everyone was a little surprised to hear this somewhat unexpected yet expected answer, but they soon accepted it silently. Shiroichiro stretched himself and said with some lingering feeling:

"Hachiman, I knew you wouldn't lie. Komachi, keep working hard. If I remember correctly, you've lost almost five hundred times!"

Hikigaya: “It’s 490 times.”

After hearing the result, Komachi collapsed like a deflated ball, which made Hikigaya feel very distressed. However, after hearing what Shiroichiro said, he was like a chicken with blood injected, and said directly:

"Wow, brother, I lost again.. But..."

"I can already feel it. Komachi will soon surpass dad in the near future!"

"This kind of unyielding Komachi has earned a very high score in her heart!"

Hachiman saw every time she was knocked down. After all, Komachi was a troublesome sister. She would come to him for comfort after losing. Of course, Hachiman would also give her the greatest encouragement. As an older brother, he also believed that Komachi could defeat his father.

Similarly, Komachi is always able to get back on her feet as quickly as possible, which is what makes Hachiman, as a brother, most gratified. If he could lie to himself, he really wanted to help Komachi win this time.

Just a joke, Hikigaya Hachiman is not a sister-con.

So, let me introduce it again...

This guy with dead fish eyes is called Hikigaya Hachiman. He has an extremely unreliable father, Shiroichiro, and an extremely reliable sister, Komachi. After graduating from Sobu High School, he was thinking of having a good vacation, but he was hit and broke his bones on the first day of the vacation. He was really unlucky. This was the second time he had been in a car accident. He has been lying in bed for half a year and missed the best time to go to school.

In the following days, I basically helped out in the restaurant. After all, I have been doing this job since I was a child, so I am quite familiar with it.

Of course, they say they come back to help, but most of the time they just do odd jobs, such as helping to serve food to guests, or washing dishes after the party.

The flower language of steel wool is said to be wealth and forbearance, and Hikigaya has always believed it.

As for Hachiman's cooking level, even he himself doesn't know. After all, Komachi and his father are responsible for the meals every day, so this kind of work is never his turn, and he is glad that it is not his turn, so it is normal even if he makes something as unpalatable as Gouishi.

However, after all, his family runs a restaurant, so there will be some people who are more or less puzzled. But how can they understand Hachiman’s great dream?

"I'm going to be a househusband, so..."

"Hachiman, there's food here, come and clean it up!"

"Oh, okay..."

The self-introduction came to an abrupt end, but the customers around him continued to talk: "Is this guy really his biological son? He feels like a waiter hired from outside."

"However, the level of rice bowl prepared by Manager Shiroichiro is truly unparalleled!"

"In my opinion, even a WGO one-star chef out there may not be able to beat Manager Shiroichiro."

"That's right!"

"Manager, I want a daily set meal!"

"I want a meat and tofu set meal!"

With the arrival of the peak period, customers poured into the store like a tide, and soon the store was packed. Hikigaya returned to his kitchen and began to spend time with his steel wool.

Busy times always pass quickly. After the peak period, Komachi returned to her room to continue studying. After all, for a third-year junior high school student, further study is extremely important.

In the hotel lobby, only Hachiman and Shiroichiro were left, and they were now orderly handling the tableware after the guests had finished their meals.

But at this moment...a girl with golden hair, as if she had been preparing for this for a long time, swaggered in from outside the hotel.

Chapter 2 Uninvited Guest Yumiko Miura

The restaurant was very quiet. Apart from the clatter of cutlery and the constant dripping of water from the faucet, there seemed to be no other sound.

"Da da da..."

The sound of high heels at this moment was like an incompatible noise, which instantly attracted Hachiman's attention. He gently put down his hand that was wiping the dishes, because the person coming towards him was his high school classmate...

Yumiko Miura.

Her long golden hair is still as dazzling as ever, and paired with the black suit and high heels, she looks like a strong woman who has completely integrated into the workplace. One can feel her aura that cannot be ignored when you see her.

Although I haven't seen her for more than half a year, her personality is still as proud as ever. With her extremely unique high heels and the faintly visible flesh-colored black stockings, every step she takes is like standing on two proud peaks. Even if she is standing in a crowd, she can be spotted at a glance.

She walked around the hotel and finally came in front of Hachiman. She took off her sunglasses with one hand and was obviously a little surprised after confirming that the person in front of her was her former classmate.

"Isn't this Hikikomori-san?"

"Hikiku...Hikiku, hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Son, your presence in school is too low!"

"you are?"

"The manager of this store, Hikigaya Joichiro, is also Hikiku-san's father. What would you like to order?"

Miura's expression was still arrogant, and it seemed that her disdain for this small restaurant could be seen from her actions and expression.

She waved her hand gently, and the assistant behind her immediately handed the "plan" in her hand to Shiroichiro and Hachiman.

"Humph, you're still alive and kicking. I don't know what your relationship with Yui is, but if you go missing like this, it will make her sad."

"However, I have no right to interfere with your relationship for now. I am here today for one thing. In this city, we are building an urban apartment with the concept of high-end garden-style residences. As long as you agree, you can immediately get a large amount of money. It is much better than the backbreaking work you do here. Penguin, don't say that I don't care about our friendship."

Although what Miura said before was indeed difficult for Hachiman to refute, if they were asked to get out, he would be the first one to disagree.

Not to mention that this is the place that sustains their vitality. They have accumulated so many customers from small to large. This intangible property is much more valuable than what is given directly. Moreover, Hachiman really enjoys this kind of life.

so...

"I didn't expect that Miura-san is actually a real estate developer. But if you want us to get out, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Please go back. We have no plans to close the store."

In order to allow his younger sister Komachi to spend the pre-school semester peacefully, Hachiman also expressed a very firm attitude.

Miura was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. After all, in her opinion, as long as she used intimidation slowly, this small restaurant would soon be unable to hold on.

"This is my business card. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time. By the way, I would like to remind you that it is becoming increasingly difficult to run a small store in this world. Even purchasing goods is a headache."

Facing the turbulent peak and the threatening distance, being entangled by such a girl is not what Hachiman is good at, so it is normal to be a little nervous...

Having said that, Miura is worthy of being Miura, so awesome.

Joichiro: "Thank you for your trouble. As the Hikigaya Hotel, there is no such problem. We can even provide guests with any food they want."

Miura: "So you are very confident? What if you can't provide the food the guests want? How can you be responsible?"

Shiroichiro: "By then, we will naturally close down."

Hachiman's expression was obviously a little speechless. Facing this unreliable father, he felt a little headache for a moment: "You want to make such a big deal?"

After all, he is the one who purchases food every time. If he cannot provide food at that time, won’t all the pressure be on him?

Seeing how confident Shiroichiro was, Miura immediately said, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

Joichiro: "Of course, son. As Hotel Hikigaya, we should have the confidence we need."

Miura: "Well, we'll come again."

After leaving a meaningful smile, Miura left in a hurry, but Hachiman could feel that from the day he met Miura, perhaps his life would undergo tremendous changes.

Joichiro: "Hachiman, I didn't expect that you would be hated by beautiful girls in school. By the way, tell dad what your relationship with Yui is."

In fact, Hachiman had already noticed that Miura had been talking to him angrily, and he was probably very unhappy from the bottom of his heart about the fact that he disappeared after graduation.

But Hachiman had no choice. At that time, in order to prevent Yuigahama from worrying about him, he had only this choice.

So...this is the only thing he can't accept.

Hachiman: "Just a classmate."

He did not join any clubs during his junior high school career. At the beginning of the second year of junior high school, he met Yuigahama by chance because he saved a dog. After that, although Hachiman knew that it was because of Yuigahama's debt that led to such a relationship, as Yuigahama approached him again and again, the two developed a relationship that could not be called friends or classmates.

Cheng Yilang still looked nonchalant, and said in a teasing tone:

"Oh, it's really not some other kind of relationship? For example...holding hands, kissing each other, or exchanging unexplained physical secrets with each other as teenagers?"

"what are you thinking?"

Too lazy to continue talking to this totally unreliable father, Hachiman simply picked up the dishes he had just wiped halfway and continued to wash them.

Shiroichiro did not continue teasing Hachiman. He always had an inexplicable sense of trust in his son. Although no one had ever eaten his cooking, Shiroichiro knew very well that as a son who had been influenced by him since he was a child, and who had witnessed the cooking process of himself and Komachi, and who had tasted the most food in the end, he would definitely not be bad at cooking.

so...

"Hachiman, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Having a happy family and a lovely sister is what Hachiman has always been pursuing. If there is anything missing, it is Max Coffee.

So...even if you ask me what my dream is?

"Become a househusband and live off your parents."

This answer was even more unreliable than Shiroichiro's, and even Shiroichiro himself became a little serious.

At this moment, the father and son just looked at each other tacitly, and then laughed one after another.
