Love comes after eating halberds

Carrying the heaviest bags of ingredients, the three of them rushed home in large and small bags. When people around them saw this scene, they all mentally guessed how many people there were in their family.

To eat so much.

----------

ten days later.

“Delicious! The garlic shrimp and cumin lamb are amazing!”

"The Golden Crab Bucket is also very good. It's fragrant and crispy, and the amount of crab roe is ridiculous. The boss is very good at choosing crabs."

"The braised pork is also great, isn't it? Damn, I almost forgot that this is a shop that sells pig's trotter rice."

"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that I was attracted to this store's pig's trotter rice in the first place, but now there are not many people ordering pig's trotter rice."

"Boss, let's have some pig's trotter rice. It's okay. I feel that the taste of this pig's trotter rice is much better than the first one. It's more transparent and the taste is very suitable. The chef's skills are improving."

"Isn't that right? The taste of this dish almost changes every day. I come here almost every day because of the company. I have also met the cook. He is a young man. He has such cooking skills at this age. His future achievements are limitless!"

The atmosphere in the store is lively, with acquaintances and new customers. Naturally, some familiar people will start chatting, and while chatting, new people will join.

Chatting is like that, it spreads very quickly.

Especially when there is not enough space in the restaurant and people need to share tables.

Because of its cheap prices and delicious food, his shop has a very high reputation in the neighborhood, and even people from other districts come here because of its reputation.

Although it is not as good as those time-honored restaurants, it is unique in Sanhe Street in terms of liveliness. The most noteworthy among them are the three beautiful waitresses.

Especially the blonde girl, who has a hot and scary figure. She likes to wear a maid outfit to receive guests, but she doesn't look like a maid. Not only does she have a cold voice, but her movements are also very impatient.

And this kind of performance has also attracted some people with special quirks. They like bad service attitudes and feel that it is very satisfying to be despised by beautiful girls, so they specify services every time.

This kind of person is usually called a douchebag, and Erina Nakiri showed her value in strange places.

"Crab fight."

"coming!"

"mutton."

"immediately."

It is said that working together is not tiring when men and women work together. After half a month of working together, Hoshino Sora and Hisako have become close partners and their work efficiency is very high.

Among them, Nito Hisako is responsible for the cutting and seasoning of the dishes, while Hoshino Sora is responsible for cooking wholeheartedly. Now he has mastered the control of heat.

Although it cannot be cooked at the optimal time every time, the error will not exceed a few seconds. Overall, it will have little impact on the taste of the food, if it is just for ordinary diners outside.

They can't even tell the difference.

But if it's Erina Nakiri, she can tell the state of the food with just one bite, and can even clearly name all the ingredients used in it. This is the so-called tongue of the gods!

Chapter 22 Invitation to the Kitchen King Competition

"You two work well together."

Seeing the two people working together perfectly in tandem, Nakiri Erina couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Don't get me wrong, what she was jealous of was not Hisako's, but Hoshino Sora's. Seeing the relationship between the two getting better day by day, Nakiri Erina only felt prickly and awkward.

Fei Shasha was obviously her secretary, but why was she so in tune with others now? This made her feel inexplicably unhappy.

"After all, it's been more than half a month. If I'm still as unfamiliar as I was at the beginning, that would be a real joke."

Hoshino Sora didn't notice the strange tone in Nakiri Erina's tone. He just focused all his attention on the pot. For him, cooking every dish well is his responsibility to the customers.

"Hmph, there's only one month left before the bet, and you won't be able to enslave us by then."

"Indeed, it's a pity that Fei Shasha has left. It's not that easy to find another helper with such a tacit understanding."

Hearing this, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but sigh, thinking why he didn't get to know Hisako earlier, so that the other person might not be Nakiri Erina's secretary.

I really envy Erina to have such a useful kitchen helper!

"Yes, Fei Sha will return to my arms after a while, and your dishes will no longer taste like her."

"At least it's mine now."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Nakiri Erina felt a little angry for no reason. Especially seeing Hiisako's obedient appearance without rebuttal, she felt even more unhappy, and her golden hair seemed to be dyed a bit green.

unhappy!

But there is no way.

Squatting on the dish that had just been cooked, Nakiri Erina's eyes were a bit surprised. She could see the boy's progress. Although the food he made was still not good, it was already better than the beginning. A lot.

A few days ago, Nakiri Senzaemon came to see her and specifically asked her about Hoshino Sora. He laughed loudly when he learned that she had been coaxed into becoming a maid through deception, but he had no idea of ​​helping her out.

However, due to the arrival of Nakiri Senzaemon, she also gained important information. The other party's father was once a state banquet chef and one of Neon's top chefs.

Hoshino Sora has inherited his genes, and his talent in cooking is definitely not bad. At that time, Nakiri Erina said it was impossible with great disdain, but now she has a little bit of agreement.

That guy worked really hard and made hundreds of dishes every day. Despite this, he did not cut corners on each dish, but poured all his energy into making the food the best it could be.

Of course, even if Hoshino Sora works very hard, he is still far behind her. The taste is always inaccurate, and it is either salty or bland, although the impact is not big for ordinary people.

But she is the tongue of God!It was easy to taste it.

However, the error has been much smaller recently. It’s not in vain that she reluctantly tastes a small bite of the food before getting off work every day. That guy is also blessed with blessings. You must know that other restaurants often need to spend a lot of money to invite her to taste the food. The price is high, and whether she goes or not depends on her mood.

Huh, what a lucky guy.

"Your fried chicken with soy sauce."

She put the food on the dining table in front of her with a look of displeasure, and then glared viciously at the fat man who named her to serve. This guy was really disgusting. He still had a silly smile on his face when he was looked at like this.

In fact, Hoshino Restaurant is not only famous for its delicious food, but its maids are also a hot topic among diners. Over time, it has naturally attracted a special group of guests.

Because it didn't cause any bad effects, Hoshino Sora didn't care. After all, the other party just wanted to see the beautiful woman and didn't do anything heinous. It was much better than the yellow hair that day.

Fortunately, this is just a civilian cooking area, and the people who come and go are all nearby residents, who know little about the upper-class food world. Until now, Nakiri Erina's identity has not been recognized by outsiders.

This made Nakiri Erina secretly relieved and a little unhappy. Is her popularity so low?

"Hello sir, what would you like to order? This is your number plate. There are two diners away from you. It will take about 2 minutes to wait."

With a menu in her hand and a signature smile on her face, Yaxiang is already very skilled in serving. The guests she has served have only one comment about her.

"The little angel who is good at solving dining anxiety"

"I'm not here to dine. I am the administrator of the Sanhe Street Chef King cooking competition. Is Mr. Hoshino here? This is an invitation letter. We would like to invite him to participate in this cooking competition."

The man in the suit said and handed a letter and invitation to Yaxiang, then nodded respectfully and left.

"Contest?"

Looking at the envelope and invitation in his hand, Yaxiang looked a little confused, but he immediately handed the letter to Hoshino Sora, but he didn't have time to read it, so he didn't open the letter until the business closed in the evening.

"What's written on it?"

As soon as they opened the letter, Axiang and Rika came closer, their faces deliberately close to each other, but Hoshino Sora was obviously used to it, and his expression was as usual.

"I'm still watching. It probably means that I will participate in the cooking competition. The organizer screened the stores based on their popularity and selected sixteen stores to pass directly through the preliminaries.

The remaining sixteen positions need to be selected from more than 100 stores through daily sales competition. "

The letter briefly explained the situation. Hoshino Restaurant ranked No. 14 in the online popularity survey and successfully passed the preliminaries.

You know, Hoshino Restaurant is just a small restaurant that has been open for less than a month. It is very remarkable to be able to win this award in such a short period of time.

"A competition of this level is just a waste of time."

Nakiri Erina's figure appeared beside Hoshino Sora at some point and heard their conversation. She seemed to look down on this kind of street-level competition.

"You can't say that. It's always good to practice more and hone yourself. And you don't know that there is an old saying that the master is among the people. Some century-old shops on Sanhe Street are still very good."

Shaking his head slightly, Hoshino Sora did not agree with Nakiri Erina's statement. How many stores can survive in the fierce competition and be simple opponents?

"Most of the shops on this street are developing in one direction. You may let them do well in the areas they are good at, but once they step out of their comfort zone, their true colors will soon be revealed."

Nakiri Erina said disdainfully that the chefs in small shops may have some strength in their own fields, but looking at the entire chef world, they are definitely just unknown figures.

Moreover, the chef in the shop was very conceited about the cuisine she was good at. She relied on his mentality to expand her cooking empire by taking over many shops by eating halberds.

If you completely defeat the opponent in the field he is good at, the opponent will no longer have the face to continue working in this industry.

Despite Nakiri Erina's docile appearance, she is actually very cold-blooded and cruel. She doesn't know how to put herself in someone else's shoes. She looks down on people with poor cooking skills. She is a bit of a bad woman.

Regarding this, Hoshino Sora knew very well that if he wanted to change her, he must defeat her in an upright Shokuge duel and make her a loser.

However, in my memory, Erina Nakiri seems to have never lost in cooking.

That bet was only won due to Hoshino Sora's cheating. If it were a serious Shokuki duel, he had no chance of winning.

Chapter 23 Qualifiers scene

"After all, people have to eat. Learning more is worse than learning well. If you can cook a dish for a lifetime, that is quite impressive."

"But there are more people who never know how to cook a dish. Otherwise, how could they end up in such a small and dilapidated street, without even the value of taking it?"

Yes, there are differences of opinion.

But it's normal. With Nakiri Erina's strength, even if she participates in the competition, she will brutally torture everyone present, unless there is a drug dad-like figure hidden in Sanwa Street.

However, with Yao Daddy's character, it is naturally impossible to participate in this level of competition. At most, his son can participate in the restaurant instead.

"It's up to you. If the restaurant is suspended due to your participation in the competition, those days will also be counted as part of this month. Make this clear in advance."

"That's what you're worried about. Don't worry. The days you participate in the competition are considered holidays for you. They are included in the month of the bet. Ordinary part-time jobs also have holidays."

Hearing what Nakiri Erina said, Hoshino Sora nodded in agreement, just thinking that he had to recruit people during this period, otherwise the store would be extremely busy again.

"It's okay then. It's time to get off work now. Let's go home Fei Shasha."

After hearing Hoshino Sora's reply, Nakiri Erina stood up with satisfaction. She didn't have time to continue spending time here. She just took advantage of the vacation time to deal with the accumulated work.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she lost. The only thing she couldn't figure out was why there was such a big gap between Hoshino and Sora.

Since the other party can replicate her cooking, his cooking skills should be particularly superb. However, in fact, the other party is an out-and-out novice.

Nakiri Erina still couldn't understand this question, so she asked Hoshino Sora. The other party said that he can perform exceptionally well when he is extremely angry, but can cooking such a thing be done well by relying on anger?

Nakiri Erina went back and tried it, but the outcome was undoubtedly a failure. Cooking with anger is unscientific, and she seemed even more stupid for believing this.

"Let's go home. We will be closed for a week starting tomorrow. We will go to the competition site today to check on the situation."

Considering the rich rewards of the mission, Hoshino Sora decided to check out the situation beforehand. Popularity does not necessarily mean cooking skills. He did not think that those who were not selected were necessarily worse than him.

"Closing for a week? Will that cause a loss of customers..."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Yaxiang couldn't help but feel a little worried. Now her career is on the rise, and a sudden closure may cause a loss of customers.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I win the championship and get the golden sign from the competition champion, there will only be more and more customers in the future, and the secret to a good business is cooking skills. Participating in the competition will only have advantages and no disadvantages for me now. "

"That is, with Xiao Kong's strength, he can definitely defeat everyone and get first place!"

Rika helped from the side and hugged Hoshino Sora's arm as she spoke. She intertwined his fingers and rubbed them provocatively. These strong and strong hands felt so good!

"Of course I don't doubt Xiao Kong's strength. If that's the case, then sister, I will fully support you."

Seeing Lixiang's actions, Yaxiang was immediately unhappy. She didn't care whether the store was popular or not, so she swooped into him, hugged her arm unwilling to be outdone, and held her other hand with her hand. The palm of a hand.

"If you are like this, you will gossip if others see you."

"It's okay, I don't care."

"That's right, Xiao Kong, do you mind?"

"I don't care. Let's just go home and put a notice on the door explaining the situation, so that others won't think we can't go on and run away."

"Hmm."*2

----------

The next day, Sora Hoshino and his two sisters arrived early at the competition site. The evaluation requirements for this trial were simple, and they only looked at the profits generated by stores in the same area.

The organizer rented a square, advertised in advance that there was a food festival here, and then rented out stalls. Shops operating here need to hand over 30.00% of their profits to the organizer.

Of course, the food festival cannot be held for just one day, but lasts until the end of all competitions. Stores that fail to qualify for the competition after the competition often choose to enter the food festival because the business here is much better than in the store.

This is how the organizers make money. As long as the publicity is in place, the daily traffic of the square can easily exceed [-]. The profits generated here are unimaginable.

Of course, in order to attract participants, in addition to the three gold-lettered signs, they also set up a live broadcast and prepared a participation prize of [-] yen in real money for participants.
