Then he picked up the chopsticks again, took a small bite of noodles, and his brows were twisted together.
Next came the barbecued pork and other side dishes. After Mrs. Kizaki tasted them all, she put down her chopsticks and fell into silence.
This action made Mrs. Akiyama very nervous. She held the pot lid, ready to be scolded at any time.
"This is unreasonable..."
Chiba Xiu had a sharp ear and heard Granny Kizaki muttering inaudibly.

Chapter 55 Misunderstood the system?
Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of her, Grandma Kizaki fell into self-doubt. Her belief in ramen began to waver. It seemed that her decades of experience in making ramen had become false.
Although she did not see the disciple making soup and kneading noodles due to time constraints, she knew what was going on just by looking at her still not-so-strong figure.
Not to mention the process of cooking and scooping noodles, which are full of flaws and can be seen with your own eyes.
Of course, Grandma Kizaki also knows that her requirements are a bit harsh, and ordinary customers cannot actually tell much difference.
But how can the noodles made in this way be so delicious! This doesn’t make sense!
"Mother-in-law?" Mrs. Akiyama called cautiously from behind the pot lid.
Grandma Kizaki came to her senses and looked at the timid "girl" with mixed feelings.
"I have repeatedly stressed the point, but you are still making mistakes. It is not easy for a woman to open a ramen shop. If you don't strictly demand yourself, how can you keep it open for a long time?"
Mrs. Akiyama lowered her head and listened to the instructions skillfully.
"But..." Grandma Kizaki sighed and looked at the face in front of her with a very complicated expression.
"Perhaps I am really old. I can't see what ingenious method you used to not only make up for all the shortcomings, but also make the taste even better than my cooking."
"Sorry, I will try harder next time... I will knead the dough three times carefully..."
Mrs. Akiyama admitted her mistake as usual, then suddenly realized what was happening, her face full of surprise.
"Eh? Is it already better than what my mother-in-law made? So I don't need to change it?"
"..." Granny Kizaki's face darkened immediately, "Correct it for me! Since it's so delicious even without correction, with your talent you can definitely become the best ramen chef in the country.
Let those men who look down on female generals see this for themselves! Give them a good slap in the face!"
Mrs. Akiyama lowered her head quickly and muttered quietly, "But that's so tiring, and I don't really want to slap someone in the face..."
Chiba Xiuyi wanted to laugh when he saw this. This lady was really like a child. He suddenly became curious and asked Akiyama Tsuki beside him:
"By the way, why did your mother want to learn how to make ramen? Isn't this industry not very favorable for women?"
Compared to other foods, ramen requires a lot of strength, and women are naturally at a disadvantage - and Mrs. Akiyama is obviously not good at strength.
Some customers even turned around and left when they saw a female ramen chef, thinking the food must not taste good.
Akiyama Tsuki glanced at his sister and said, "What else could it be? Xingchan liked to eat Grandma Kizaki's ramen when she was a child.
My mother is the type who doesn’t have a clear understanding of her own abilities, and she just does things when she thinks of them, without even thinking about them.”
Granny Kizaki also heard the conversation between the two. She remembered that An-chan now liked the noodles made by her mother more, and she said unhappily:
“If it weren’t for An-chan being adorable, I wouldn’t teach such an idiot.
And with her careless manner and sloppy cooking skills, if Yue-chan hadn't reminded her and suggested changing it to a women's ramen shop, the shop would have closed down long ago."
"A women's ramen shop? Are there ramen shops specifically for women?" Chiba Shuichi was a little surprised. He really had never heard of this.
And what the hell is this? Beauty salons and gyms are for women, and so are ramen shops. Could this street become a women's street?
"Of course, it has been there for a long time." Akiyama Tsuki nodded.
“My mother’s cooking skills are good, but not outstanding. Plus, due to my gender, it’s hard for me to compete with other ramen restaurants. So, I decided to try something else.
In the past, there were relatively few female customers who ate ramen. After all, it didn’t look good when eating noodles, and the soup would easily splash onto clothes.
But in the past few years, ramen has been quite popular among women.
Another important reason that prevents female customers from eating ramen is that ramen shops are usually narrow and female customers have to squeeze together with male customers. Women's ramen shops have solved this problem very well.
If we provide supporting services, such as providing hairbands and paper aprons for guests, female guests will have even less concerns.”
Chiba Shuichi suddenly had a new understanding of this nymphomaniac president: she was serious about her work, had a keen sense of smell, a quick mind, and was well organized.
If he didn't have any special attributes, he would be far superior to his peers and a perfect child.
"Why are you looking at me like that? What perverted ideas do you have? Grandma Kizaki is still here, so don't do anything weird for now..." Akiyama Tsuki felt guilty when he looked at her and reminded her in a low voice.
My mother was also very open-minded when she was young, so it’s okay if she was discovered. We shouldn’t scare the elderly.
Qianye Xiuyi smiled and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt that... it would be fun to bully such an outstanding president."
Qiu Shanyue's heart suddenly trembled, and he felt itchy as if he was being scratched by a cat. He wondered what exciting way of playing this guy had come up with.
Grandma Kizaki at the side sighed again: "If it wasn't a women's ramen shop, female customers would not be as picky about taste as male customers. With Tamako's condition, how could she raise two children?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shanyue twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, obviously disagreeing.
Chiba Shuichi raised his eyebrows, thinking of the attitude expressed by Akiyama Tsuki on the issue of women-only carriages. It was obvious that the problems faced by women-oriented ramen restaurants were also very tricky.
Especially given Mrs. Akiyama's personality, most of the things will have to be handled by her eldest daughter.
"Didn't Chiba-san help arrange the flyers? Isn't everything written on them?"
While several people were talking, Akiyama An had already finished her bowl of noodles. Only then did she have time to interrupt and picked up a flyer and asked curiously.
Chiba Xiuyi leaned over to take the flyer from her hand. Because the distance was a little far, he naturally put his hand on Akiyama Yue's thigh.
And he grabbed it very hard.
Akiyama Yue immediately closed his legs together and his whole body began to tremble slightly.
After receiving the flyer, Chiba Shuichi sat back and took a look at the content. It really was advertised as a women's ramen restaurant.
……
When breakfast was over, the wreath that Chiba Shuichi had ordered yesterday was delivered. Mrs. Akiyama was very satisfied and her sense of belonging increased by ten points again.
But was this ten-point increase in sense of belonging due to the fact that he sent a wreath, or that the food tasted better than the chef, or that the new store was officially opened?
Chiba Shuichi was a little unsure for a moment, but the more important thing was that Mrs. Akiyama had surpassed Ogawa Fumika with her 60 sense of belonging!
[Tamako Akiyama, sense of belonging 60]
[Ogawa Fumika, Sense of Belonging 50]
[Sayuki Ogawa, Sense of Belonging 30]
[Current monthly salary: 1 yen]
After staring at the data for a long time, comparing the two types of excellent store owners, Chiba Shuichi became more and more self-doubting. Did he seem to have misunderstood the system? It seemed that increasing a sense of belonging did not require so much effort?
Perhaps the 100,000 yen universal butler krypton gold service, which provides timely assistance to store owners, is the correct way to consume it?
……
After watching the three boys and girls who had finished their breakfast leave, Grandma Kizaki looked at Akiyama Tamako who was humming a song and admiring the wreath.
"As a mother, aren't you worried? It seems like the two sisters have fallen in love with the same boy."
"Eh? Really?" Mrs. Akiyama blinked. "Apricot-chan and Yue-chan have such similar tastes. They are indeed sisters~"
"..." Granny Kizaki wanted to hit them with her cane, but now that she was old, it was a little difficult. "Aren't you afraid that the two sisters will have conflicts in the future?"
Mrs. Akiyama tilted her head slightly, "As for the future... I'll worry about it later. Anyway, Xing-chan is so much like me, she will definitely be happy. Yue-chan is so smart, there will be no problem either."

Chapter 56 Xing: Do you want to date me?
The last class on Wednesday morning was family basics, and today’s class was a cooking class. After the teacher gave a brief explanation and instructions, he allowed the students to form groups freely.
Chiba Shuichi found a cooking table in the corner, and Uchida Yaichi came over on his own initiative. In group activities like this, the two of them always get together to chat and fool around.
But the situation today is a little unusual, because... Akiyama An also came over.
"Look over there, what's going on? Why did the squad leader go to the otaku group?"
"Are you going to reprimand him? The monitor has a serious personality, which is normal."
"The squad leader has always valued food, so he couldn't bear to see them wasting it, so he went to teach them how to cook, right?"
"Today these two guys are lucky enough to eat the food prepared by the monitor."
As an iceberg beauty and the younger sister of the student council president Akiyama Tsuki, Akiyama An is also a prominent figure in the class.
Therefore, she was inevitably attracted attention when she suddenly got together with two otakus.
However, there were no overly outrageous speculations or overly malicious discussions, and the class atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
Of course, it can also be said that otakus really have no sense of existence, no one pays attention to them, and no one cares about them. It may not be wrong to say that it is cold violence.
Uchida Yaichi was originally lazy and didn't stand properly, but when the squad leader came over, he had to stand properly, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.
Something like "Uchida-san, please be serious, food is precious."
Although it wasn't a scolding, it was still embarrassing to be said like this in public.
Thinking of this, Uchida Yaichi hid in the corner again. The cooking table was originally at the edge, so he could just hide in the corner.
But I still felt ashamed and said sorry to Chiba Shuichi, "You take it first."
Chiba Shuichi had no idea of Uchida Yaichi's inner thoughts. He stood there and looked at Akiyama Anzu strangely, "Why did you come here?"
Qiu Shanxing tried to keep a straight face, imitating her sister's usual behavior, and said with a cold expression, "Is it not okay to be in the same group with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me, but your sister might not be happy about it." Chiba Shuichi chuckled.
"Humph." Qiu Shan Xing was a little angry when she heard this, "Sister... you lied to me, are you two dating?"
"No, she really didn't lie to you about this." Chiba Shuichi was very honest. After all, the two of them were not in a dating relationship, but rather a master-servant relationship, or partners in a special game.
After hearing what Chiba Shuichi said, Akiyama An finally believed it. Ever since her sister lied to her that she didn't drink the white peach soda, she lost her blind trust in her sister.
"Then if I look at, talk to, and touch male classmates, will I be tricked into having a baby?" Akiyama An asked again.
"..." Chiba Xiuyi rolled his eyes speechlessly, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense, especially for Akiyama Xing, "It's not wrong."
"Oh, I forgot. This is what my sister said specifically to Chiba-san." Akiyama An suddenly remembered and added.
Qianye Xiuyi's mouth twitched twice, "That must be fake. Haven't you already looked into my eyes, talked to me, and touched me? Have you been tricked into having a child?"
"Oh, that's right." Akiyama An suddenly realized that she was not tricked into doing anything strange.
After figuring it out, she asked curiously, "Is dating...an interesting thing?"
I don’t know why, but when he saw Akiyama An, the cute and adorable foodie, Chiba Shuichi suddenly felt the same worry as an old father.
If you don't care about this little fool, he will be cheated, right?
"It's boring, very boring. It's more interesting than eating. Listen to your sister and stay away from boys." Chiba Shuichi added, "Except for me."
"Oh..." Akiyama An nodded thoughtfully, and a brainstorming session started in her little head.
My mother said that girls will definitely date boys in the future...
I am a girl...
My sister and Chiba-san both told me to stay away from boys...
Only Chiba-san is an exception among the boys and can be approached...
So...the only person I can date is Chiba-san?
With the help of mathematical thinking, Akiyama An solved a difficult life problem, and she felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.
Looking at her cute look, the baby fat on her face seemed to feel very good to the touch. When Qianye Xiu saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he quietly reached out and pinched it.
When Chiba Shuichi saw Akiyama Tsuki pinching her face in the morning, he felt itchy.
"Huh?" Akiyama An looked at him blankly, not understanding why he was pinching her face.
