Love comes after eating halberds

"start!"

"Okay! Let's have a big fight."

----------

"Senior, well, you are eating Hoshino's food again, and there are two servings. Is the food there really so delicious?"

Looking at Takeda-senpai who was holding a lunch box with the logo of Hoshino Restaurant in his hand, Futaba Igarashi asked doubtfully, although that restaurant tastes good, it’s not something he eats every day.

"I brought this for Igarashi because it was so delicious that I couldn't help but bring it back. The owner of that store's cooking skills are improving every day. As a regular customer, I'm really happy for him!"

Putting one of them next to Igarashi Futaba, Takeda Harumi looked eager, urging his juniors to try this unparalleled delicacy. In fact, he had already eaten one in the store.

"I have my own lunch box, and I'm not a child. If I want to eat, I will buy it myself."

Taking out the bento in his hand and shaking it, Igarashi Futaba spoke angrily, with a subtle hint of disgust in his eyes. Especially when he felt the ambiguous glances of the people around him, he felt a little dissatisfied.

"Sorry, I was abrupt."

"Senior is not wrong, it's just too sudden. You should have asked me via LINE first. Now I can only eat the bento I brought myself at night."

Looking at Takeda Harumi who was a little embarrassed and awkwardly touching her head, Igarashi Futaba suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. She immediately returned to her seat and opened the lunch box that her senior had specially brought for her.

In an instant, the rich aroma spread in the office, making Momoko Sakurai, who was busy working and had not eaten yet, have a stomach rumbling, and then cast her eyes over.

"Futaba, what are you eating? It tastes so delicious."

Putting down the pen she was working on, Sakurai Momoko came to Igarashi Futaba's side, her head swaying left and right, looking at the food being opened in front of her, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Hoshinoya's beef tongue bento has six flavors. Each piece of beef tongue is made with a different cooking method and has a different texture. It is Hoshinoya's latest dish."

Takeda Harumi explained beside her, and while speaking, she also opened her beef tongue rice bowl bento. Saliva was secreted in her mouth. Without hesitation, she picked up her chopsticks and tasted it again.

The first one selected was the salt-baked beef tongue. It was extremely salty and fresh in the mouth, with just the right proportion. It wouldn’t be too delicious to eat with rice!

"Is it that exaggerated?"

The rich aroma made Futaba Igarashi look expectant. Without hesitation, he picked up a piece of beef tongue with green peppercorns. It had a beautiful golden texture on the outside and had obviously been fried in advance.

As the beef tongue entered, a feeling like an electric shock arose from inside Igarashi Futaba's body, and then an illusion appeared in front of her eyes. She seemed to be in the clouds, her whole body was light and fluttering, and she was surrounded by fine electric currents. , does not hurt people, but it can make people feel numb and comfortable all over the body.

His legs were clamped unnaturally, his body was shaking unnaturally, and an inexplicable blush appeared on his cheeks. Coming out of his fantasy, Futaba Igarashi looked at the other pieces of beef tongue longingly.

What does other beef tongue taste like, and how does it make her feel?

"Takeda, can you also bring me some food tomorrow? Can you tell me the location now?"

Seeing that Igarashi Futaba suddenly became a little strange, Sakurai Momoko moved her eyes to Takeda Harumi, and then asked very expectantly.

"The address is at the intersection of Sanhe Street. The name is Hoshino Restaurant. You can bring food to the restaurant. If you need anything, you can tell me."

Looking at the colleagues who gathered towards them, Takeda Harumi said very loudly that he would feel a sense of accomplishment if his colleagues could taste such delicious food.

"Then please."

"Me too!"

"Please give me one."

"Then I'll leave mine to you too, Harumi."

In an instant, the originally quiet company became lively, and finally even the president joined in, patting Takeda Harumi on the shoulder and saying please.

"Only more than thirty copies were sold in one noon? You guys stay in the store while I go out to check on the situation."

After looking at the empty shop, Mimasaku Subaru, who had nothing to do, frowned slightly. This was a bit different from the script he expected. The taste of eel rice was obviously the same as Hoshino Sora's, so why were there so few customers? ?

He was confused, so he left the shop and walked towards Hoshino Sora's shop, but he did not step forward immediately, but observed from a distance.

"Beef tongue? Have you changed the menu? But why can it steal so many customers? The eel rice I cook should not be any worse than his."

Looking at the long queue at the door of Hoshino Restaurant, and comparing it to the sparse scene at his own restaurant, Mimasaku Subaru couldn't help but think about it, what is the difference between himself and Hoshino Sora?

Beautiful shop assistant?It should be this.

Looking at Kitagawa Uimome who was smiling at every customer, Mimasaku Subaru nodded as if he had gotten something. He relied on beauty for marketing. The owner of this store really knew how to do it!

After observing for a while, Mimasaku Subaru stepped forward and bought two lunch boxes, intending to take them back, crack and copy them, and sell them as food in their restaurant tomorrow. He also wanted to find a beautiful girl to sell them.

He looked deeply at Hoshino Restaurant. He had already watched all the videos of Sora Hoshino's competition. He should be the same as him in terms of thinking and cooking methods.

Moreover, he also improved the food to a certain extent to make the food more delicious. If it were a Shokuri competition, Hoshino Sora had absolutely no chance of winning!

But business competition is different. Sometimes good sales of a product do not necessarily mean good sales. People nowadays pay attention to reputation. People are always more willing to go to famous stores because they can become conversation topics.

Hoshino Restaurant has gained momentum, and the crowds of customers are a beautiful sight. If Eizan Restaurant wants to surpass it, it must come up with dishes that are far superior to his and establish its own customer group.

When a general store opens, it usually holds promotions to attract new customers and turn them into regular customers based on the taste.

However, due to the clumsy cooking skills of the previous chef, the taste of the food was not as good as that of Hoshino Restaurant in all aspects. It was obvious that he did not attract many regular customers, but instead created a lot of bad reviews. This led to the current situation where there is not much available. .

Chapter 37 The crushed Meisaku Subaru

Half a month passed quickly. During this period, Hoshino Sora's business was booming. On the other hand, Meisaku Subaru's business also gradually improved, but it was obviously not as good as Hoshino Sora's.

The number of dishes sold every day is about 150, while Hoshino Sora can sell more than [-]. The intense sales of nine hours a day forced him to close the ordering function in the store.

The main thing is that he is too busy taking care of the dishes on the menu. Instead of making the dishes poorly and making the taste worse, he can concentrate on making one dish. This is his idea.

Even so, he was so tired that he looked at the ceiling in a daze when he rested.

Not only him, but also Arika Rika, Kitagawa, and Yuigahama, everyone looked wilted and in extremely poor condition. It was obvious that the busyness during this period made them extremely uncomfortable.

It's definitely not going to work like this!

"Store manager, when will it open today?"

"Let's have a rest today. The salary is based on eight hours. Do you want to go home and rest, or go to the amusement park with me? Of course, it must be my treat."

Hearing Kitagawa's inquiry, Hoshino Sora hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to give everyone a holiday, and at the same time, he also gave himself a holiday, otherwise long hours of work would be really depressing and uncomfortable.

He cannot squeeze his employees for his own rewards and cause problems in their minds. Although he gives wages that are much higher than the market, that is the reward that a few people deserve.

"A holiday? Great! Then I'm going to go home and lie down."

Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Kitagawa Uimuo, who was a little tired, instantly became cheerful. She had been busy for so long and wanted to take a rest. If it weren't for the fear that the store manager would be too busy, she was a little worried and had already asked for leave. applied.

"I agree. I'd better go to the amusement park next time. I've been really tired lately. The number of visitors has increased several times since the introduction of set meals."

Yuigahama Yui also raised her hand in agreement, because the traffic volume has skyrocketed during this period, she has not had a proper rest for many days, and she has never been so tired after going to school...

However, the salary she received was very considerable. Half a month's salary was even more than her father's monthly salary. The sense of accomplishment generated by this was her motivation to persevere!

"Thank you for your hard work. If you work hard for another half month, I will take you on a trip. You can go anywhere you want, and I will bear all the expenses."

Seeing the happy faces of Yuigahama and Kitagawa, Hoshino Sora decided to take advantage of the victory and draw them an edible pie. Then he could also take the opportunity to relax and taste delicious food from various places.

Yes, tasting delicious food from various places is his purpose, because he can learn a lot of new things.

Moreover, for a boy to take four beautiful girls on a trip, no matter how you think about it, it is a very honorable thing, and his vanity can also be greatly satisfied.

"Really? Can we really go traveling? I actually want to go to the beach. I haven't been to the beach in my whole life. It happens to be summer now, and there is still about a month before the vacation ends."

With her eyes shining even more excitedly, Yuigahama Yui said excitedly, and the image of herself running on the beach in a swimsuit had already appeared in her mind.

It must be very happy!

"The sea! I want to go too. You can't see the sea at all in Tokyo. At most, you can only play in the swimming pool, but there are many people there and the water is still warm."

"Okay, when the busiest period is over, I will take you there, and you can reimburse me for the money you spent on new swimsuits."

The sea? Wouldn’t it be a very wonderful scenery?Thinking of this, the corners of Hoshino Sora's mouth turned up slightly, and this scene was seen by Akari Rika beside him.

However, they did not speak, but waited until Kitagawa and Yuigahama left the store and Hoshino Sora was alone with them.

"What about Axiang-san and Rixiang-san? Do you want to go to the amusement park or go home to rest?"

Turning to look at his sister who had been very quiet from just now, Hoshino Sora's eyes were filled with questions.

"We want to kill him to death!"

"Eh..."

Looking at Rika Akari, who picked him up one by one and dragged him into the employee lounge to be alone, Hoshino Sora's expression was slightly startled. As a crisp locking sound sounded, he had sacrificed a lot.

----------

As Kitagawa and Yuigahama left, a sign appeared in front of Hoshino Restaurant, which simply read: "I have been too busy recently, so I will take a day off. We will open as normal from tomorrow. I hope you can forgive me objectively."

Customers who usually come here for dinner showed understanding when they saw this post.

They also see the business of Hoshino Restaurant. In order to take care of each of them, the boss works hard to cook every day. He opens the door at seven in the morning, which shows his diligence.

However, people were already here, so it was not appropriate to go back empty-handed. The hungry customers turned their attention to the nearby Eizan Restaurant, which also saw a huge sea of ​​traffic for the first time since its opening.

but...

As the queue was divided into two lines, the stocked bento boxes were sold out in less than 10 minutes, and subsequent supply was slow to be replenished.

It was obvious that Subaru Misaku could not receive so many guests at the same time. The workload that was several times more than usual made him very busy, completely losing his usual calmness.

From morning to night, the forced high-intensity cooking made him almost collapse, and he even had the idea of ​​never cooking again, but he quickly rejected it.

This is also Hoshino Sora's conspiracy.

He noticed that his opponents could only imitate, so he deliberately changed the cooking the day before the holiday to the relatively complicated teriyaki chicken leg rice.

This dish itself is not difficult. What is difficult is deboning the chicken legs and cooking them at the same time. If prepared in advance, this dish can be made very quickly and conveniently.

However, if there is no preparation in advance, it will undoubtedly be torture for a restaurant with few chefs in the back kitchen to remove the bones and marinate the meat while cooking it, especially when there are customers queuing up outside.

"I just said that this restaurant is not good. The chef's skills are not up to par. A team of this level can be solved in two or three minutes at Hoshino Restaurant. I have been waiting here for half an hour and the chef hasn't brought out the new bento yet." .”

"Isn't it? If I hadn't queued for such a long time, it was almost my turn and I didn't want to wait any longer."

"md, everyone who came into the store later has already eaten, but we are still waiting here. Let's go. We will never come to this shabby store again. If you can't bring out the food, don't hang up the sign. Let us stay here. Wait, do you think this will make your store look very popular?

Perhaps it was because the waiting time was too long. Some people in the originally peaceful queue gradually complained, and then received a bunch of responses. In an instant, more than half of the long queue dispersed, leaving only some who were hungry and too lazy. People who change places.

"How about suspending business today? There are too many customers for us to accommodate."

The chef who was replaced earlier and now the vegetable cutter suggested this. Looking at the hungry diners outside, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

With a salary of 10,000+ yen, why should he work hard?

"No, it's rare to have such a large amount of customers. Let's seize this opportunity to turn them into regular customers, so that we can take away the business of Hoshino Restaurant!"

The heat in the kitchen soaked Mimasaku Subaru's back. At this moment, he also felt something was wrong. There were too many guests, more than he could understand.

But now he can only grit his teeth and persist. Only by converting these customers into regular customers can the store's business be completely revitalized and become a profitable store.

Revitalizing this store is the task assigned to him by senior Ruishan.

But he forgot one thing. Food can only be delicious if it is made with care. In order to rush for time, customers will not buy the shoddy food, even if he sells it cheaply.

In other words, the current Misaku Subaru has fallen into a very serious misunderstanding, and high-intensity cooking has caused his cooking accuracy to plummet.The taste is not too bad, after all, the cooking skills and processes are there, but it is definitely not as good as Hoshino Restaurant.

Even if this is an improved dish, it should be even more delicious!

Chapter 38 Daily life as ordinary as running water

"The magic repair is completed, go home, Xiao Kong."

Looking at the tired Hoshino Sora in front of her, Aka Rika showed a satisfied smile. On the table were the clothes left by the former store manager, including bunny girls, maids, nurses, teachers, and even queen-like outfits. Rika Go The small leather whip I got when I came came with this, and the XP is so extensive that it's amazing.

Akari Rika didn't actually do anything when she brought Hoshino Sora here. She just put on various clothes, then lay on him and sucked the taste to test his liking. She said it was a reward for her sister's hard work during this period.

Hearing what they said, Hoshino Sora couldn't refuse, so he could only let the two sisters be wanton with him, sitting on his lap and lying on his body. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and reached out to do something excessive.

However, for these two idiot sisters, their brother's 'excessiveness' is undoubtedly a benefit, so they have satisfied smiles on their faces at this time.

For Hoshino Sora, holding on to the final position is what he is most proud of today.

After leaving the shop, the two sisters held Hoshino Sora's hands, one on the left and the other on the right. The smiles on their faces did not diminish, they hummed an unknown tune, and they seemed to be in a very good mood.

As for Hoshino Sora, he was looking at the bustling Eizan Restaurant in a happy mood at this time, because he heard many dissatisfied comments from customers, and some compared his restaurant with it.

Poor store, it is not an easy task to take care of every customer's emotions.

Shaking his head with a pretense of sigh, Hoshino Sora took the hands of the two sisters and left quickly. He didn't want to be recognized by these diners, otherwise today's plan would fail.

He has long wanted others to experience the hell he faces every day!
