Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

"stare--!"

Minos, who had just heard this when he came down from upstairs, put his hands on his hips, half-closed his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the little evil god with a helpless expression:

"I said..."

"Little evil god, what nonsense are you talking about? You've ruined the reputation of the devil!"

"what!?"

"Actually, apart from the little evil god, I feel like everyone is quite simple and honest."

Lu Ping'an looked at Minos, who was cheerful, down-to-earth and capable, and then glanced at the little evil god.

"What do you mean by a demon? I've ruined the reputation of the demon. Isn't that what a demon is?"

The little evil god felt a breath being held in his chest. He first complained to Minos, then turned around and said to Lu Pingan:

"You feel wrong!"

"For example, Yusa looked at me with murderous eyes several times and attacked me, almost killing me!"

"Isn't it because you bullied her sister first?"

Lu Ping'an looked at the little evil god with disdain and ruthlessly exposed her past.

"..."

'What are they talking about?'

'demon?'

'Are you role-playing?'

The humans dining in the Itamae area were thinking to themselves.

Lukoya raised his hand to support his forehead:

'Are you all so open and aboveboard?'

"Anyway——"

Back to topic!

Lu Ping'an held his apron, put one hand on his waist, and instructed the little evil god:

"Little evil god, I'll leave the kitchen to you."

Without waiting for her response, Lu Ping'an immediately ran away.

"what?"

"How cunning! Leaving me to deal with it all alone again!"

The little evil god turned around and grumbled something in dissatisfaction at Lu Ping'an's back, then he started to pack up obediently...

Chapter 112 Online reservation!

Wednesday morning.

The shop that Lily Ling applied for on the 'Tabelog' platform was finally approved.

At this time, Lu Ping'an and his friends had just finished purchasing ingredients and arrived at the restaurant.

It was only a little after eight o'clock, but there was already a long line in front of the restaurant.

In the past two days, people have been queuing up earlier and earlier. I heard that scalpers have also developed. Lu Ping'an had inadvertently heard customers from the Banqian area talking about this before.

Let Yuri Ling use the merchant assistant of the 'Tabelog' platform to set up the location in the Itamae area, small private rooms, medium private rooms, and large private rooms to facilitate reservations, and then let her enter the menu.

Lu Pingan wrote on the small blackboard he had bought earlier that the restaurant had been launched on the 'Tabelog' platform and would only provide online reservations, ordering, and checkout from now on.

After thinking about it, I wrote down the time when appointments are open every day——

He sets it at nine o'clock every morning.

After writing, Lu Ping'an carried the small blackboard to the door of the restaurant.

The people queuing in front of the door immediately looked over curiously, and someone shouted excitedly:

"Can I make an appointment online now? That's great! I finally don't have to queue up early in the morning!"

"Reservations start at nine o'clock? 'Tabelog' platform?"

"Nani!"

Those who didn’t see the content on the blackboard at the back, when they heard the voice in front, immediately stopped queuing and walked forward to confirm it in person.

Then they cheered:

"Great! This is much more convenient!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Lu Ping'an looked at the cheering crowd from the side, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile, then turned and entered the restaurant to do some preparation work with the little evil god.

Not long after that, the news that the cooking fairy's restaurant opened online reservations on the 'Tabelog' platform became a hot search.

In the past few days, Lu Ping'an's hot searches have remained high, and the download rate of the 'Tabelog' platform has also increased significantly.

Officials of the 'Tabelog' platform learned that the matter was reported step by step and finally reached the hands of the executive in charge of this area.

This executive director was also a capable and intelligent man. He made a prompt decision and contacted Yuri Ling personally, expressing his desire to sign an exclusive contract on the condition that a large number of fees would be waived and only an operating cost fee would be charged.

Lily Ling relayed this to Lu Pingan and handed him the phone, but Lu Pingan didn't take it and directly asked Lily Ling to agree.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

When he asked Lily Ling to apply on the 'Tabelog' platform, he also looked into other platforms. They basically took a commission. In comparison, this one, which only required a fixed monthly fee, was the most cost-effective. He had never thought of applying for a shop on other platforms and opening reservations. The 'Tabelog' platform offered such preferential conditions, so Lu Ping'an naturally had no reason to refuse.

This wave can be considered a win-win situation.

Lu Pingan reduced his expenses and the 'Tabelog' platform increased its market share, making both parties winners.

……

Time soon came to night.

"jingle--!"

The crisp doorbell rang.

Pecola, who had just come out of a small box, heard the sound and looked over. A warm smile immediately broke out on her face and she walked quickly towards the door.

"welcome!"

"Deduct a few bucks from you!"

Wanzhang Shuyi, who had a strangely shaped beard, handed his phone to Pecola and pointed at the screen, saying, "I've reserved a small private room for the 7 o'clock show."

Except for the seat reserved for Lukoya, the remaining two small boxes, three medium boxes, one large box, and eight seats in the itamae area have all been reserved.

Guests who successfully make a reservation will enjoy one hour of dining time during the corresponding time period.

On the following working days, Lu Ping'an only received three rounds of guests every day, and his workload was greatly reduced.

Others even more so.

Especially for those who work as waiters, they have less work to do in taking orders, which makes things a lot easier.

Unlike before, especially when we first started business every day, we were so busy that we couldn’t stop at all.

Pecola glanced at the phone that was handed to her, and said with an angelic smile on her face:

"It's only half past six, and there are guests dining in the two small private rooms. Please come back later."

She paused and added:

"At 6:45, you can place your order online in advance. This way, the food can be prepared faster when the private room becomes available."

"Ok."

Wanzhang nodded slightly, put away his phone, and left the restaurant with the new and old boss, Kirishima Xuandu, his younger brothers Jiang Su Yusuke and Akino Kei.

Before leaving, Kirishima Ayado took a deep breath of the tempting fragrance in the air, and his throat rolled.

Last night, the unlucky little brother he sent over failed to get him into the restaurant.

He sent other brothers over early this morning, and then learned that only online reservations would be accepted in the future.

As a result, when the reservation was opened, it took only a few seconds before the spots were snapped up.

The competition is so fierce!

Neither Kirishima Ayato nor his younger brother were able to make an appointment, but Wanzhang Shuyi, who had just been assigned to his subordinate, was the lucky one to make an appointment.

So, Kirishima Ayato asked the other party to give him a ride.

There were only four seats in the small box. Wanzhang Shuyi originally wanted to bring Terajima Sota with him, as the saying goes, "One should remember the person who dug the well when drinking water."

But there was no way out. The new boss had said that he would have to work under him in the future, so Wanzhang Shuyi had no choice but to take him with him.

But there is good news—

Kirishima Ayado said he would treat us tonight, which was quite generous of him.

……

"It's 6:45, you can already order in advance!"

Akino Hui had been keeping an eye on the time. When the time came, her eyes suddenly lit up and she excitedly raised her head to look at Wanzhangshuyi.

"Well, Kirishima-sama, you go first."

Wanzhang Shuyi tactfully handed the phone to Kirishima Xuandu.

"Ah."

Kirishima Ayato didn't hesitate to take the food and ordered what he wanted to eat.

He had already decided what to eat, and now he had no hesitation at all.

Then came Wanzhangshuyi, followed by Akino Kei and Ekaku Yusuke.

Of the four ghouls, three had only visited the stall and eaten steamed noodles, pearl dumplings, and braised pork buns.

The remaining one had never eaten anything before, and after placing the order, he was extremely excited.

The waiting time always seems so long, as if every second passes like a year.

After finally making it to seven o'clock, the four of them couldn't wait to enter the restaurant.

Pecola quickly cleaned up the dishes used by the previous round of guests, wiped the table, and then served the cold dishes ordered by the guests.

"I'm gonna start now!"

A neat voice rang out in the box.

Wearing sunglasses, Kirishima Ayado picked up a piece of sashimi that was emitting a sparkling glow with chopsticks and put it into his mouth with some dipping sauce.

next moment--

The eyes under the sunglasses suddenly widened, and his face was full of shock!

Shock turned into satisfaction, and his face began to soften, as if the whole world had become beautiful at this moment...

……

……

Chapter 113 He is indeed the God who controls and spreads culture!

For diners, Lu Ping'an's restaurant adopted a reservation system after it went online on the 'Tabelog' platform. Although this improved the dining experience, it also made the competition more intense, and it was not easy to get a reservation.

Day by day, it's like scrambling for tickets to a popular idol's concert, and many people have complained about it online.

As for Lu Ping'an, his revenue dropped significantly because he received fewer customers every day, but he was now more relaxed.

All in all, Lu Pingan was still very satisfied.
