People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Chapter 251 The Language of Flowers and a Few Flowers, Yuuka Kazami's Suggestions (Please Subscribe~)

The group walked all the way to the station before stopping. Everyone was silent for a long time before Akanekubo Momo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That scared Momo to death..."

Kazami Yuuka clapped her hands and said, "Yeah, you guys are really good at acting. Your acting is great. Even Akali and Grayfia laughed out loud."

"Yay! They've escaped! They've escaped!"

Alice cheered immediately, and Erina breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying, "You scared me to death... I thought you'd messed up and forgotten!"

Alice said irritably, "This is the most important event of my life! I can't forget anything else, okay? I was just trying to make the later scenes more natural!"

Leonora nodded and said, "Yes, it does seem natural. I thought you really wanted me to leave."

"Forehead...."

"Huh? Alice, were you just acting naturally? Did you really want me to leave?!"

"How could that be! I'm just wondering why you think that way, Mom! Of course, I'm reluctant to see you leave!"

Leonora nodded and said, "Yeah, that's more like it! Anyway, it was a great success. Even Yuko showed up unexpectedly, so things are much easier now."

Yuko Ichihara yawned and said, "Mainly, I feel that as a participant, it's a bit beneath me to just make one piece of clothing. It's better to participate more personally."

Hisako whispered, "So, shall we go to the beach first?"

Leonora nodded and said, "Yes, but there's no need to rush. As for the cake, Peach, you've already prepared the ingredients, right? And you've decided what to make, haven't you?"

Momoko Akane nodded and said, "Yes, and the cake in the middle doesn't have many ingredients, which can save a lot of time on the dough rising. Just leave it to Momoko, and it can be done in an hour."

"Well... the car's here, let's get in and talk."

"Okay!" xn

Erina and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car. From that moment on, the entire plan finally entered its penultimate step. Erina asked in confusion, "Aunt Leonora, what did you just say?"

"I say, let's go to the shopping street first and order the wine. By the way, I'll contact the WGO staff. Youxiang, besides Baiyu, you know the most about flowers. You decide whether we should buy the flowers on the street or have them delivered?"

Kazami Yuuka thought for a moment and said, "I've looked around. The environment and climate here are such that the flowers will grow well even if we do nothing. But there are definitely no wild roses here. Even if there were, it would be too much of a waste of time to look for them. So let's just go to the flower shop and buy some."

"Yeah!" x6

"but...."

Erina said nervously, "Yuuka-nee! What's wrong? Is there a problem? Just tell me! Let's all work together to figure it out! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We can't afford to make a mistake!"

"Mmm mmm mmm!" xn

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Calm down, don't be nervous. What I want to say is that it was finally decided that the ceremonial staff would be carrying the roses, right?"

"Hmm!" xn

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "So, now the question is, how many roses should each person take?"

Alice tilted her head and said, "There aren't any restrictions, right? Anything is fine."

Momoko Akane said irritably, "Alice, you idiot, flowers have their own meanings, and different numbers of flowers represent different meanings. So, when you say 'Yuuka,' are you referring to this?"

"Yes, that's important, isn't it?"

Erina rubbed her forehead and said, "My goodness, so many rules? I only know that ninety-nine and nine hundred and ninety-nine roses are nice, but one person can't carry so many, and how many are left?"

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "The best choice is no more than twenty sticks, so that it will be convenient for us to carry and for the etiquette staff to carry as well."

"So what's good about the middle part?"

"I only mention red roses. A single rose represents unique love and something one of a kind."

Two flowers symbolize a world for two, mutual affection; three flowers represent passionate, sweet, pure, and voluntary love; four flowers represent a promise, love until death; and five flowers represent heartfelt appreciation and admiration.

"Six flowers represent mutual respect, love and understanding; seven flowers represent secret love; eight flowers represent care and encouragement; nine flowers represent lasting love, eternal possession, and lifelong love; and ten flowers symbolize perfect love."

"Eleven flowers represent wholehearted devotion and lifelong companionship; twelve flowers represent flying wing to wing, mutual affection, and perfect love; thirteen flowers symbolize lasting friendship and unrequited love; fourteen flowers represent pride; fifteen flowers symbolize apology; and sixteen flowers symbolize change and unease."

"Seventeen roses symbolize despair, unless you use champagne roses or pink roses, but red roses symbolize passionate love, and eighteen roses represent sincerity and honesty."

"Nineteen flowers symbolize the highest point of love, expectations for the future, a lifetime of companionship, and eternal love."

"Twenty flowers represent unwavering love, and I come to you with a sincere heart... That's about it. So, decide, which one do you choose?"

Erina swallowed hard and said, "Suddenly, things feel complicated. I think one or three flowers are unnecessary. Too few flowers don't look good, and the meaning is too simplistic. As for those things like change and unease, we don't need to consider them either."

Hisako also said softly, "Thirteen, fourteen, six, seven, eight, these can also be ruled out. They are not secret crushes, nor are they for encouragement or mutual respect and love. The meaning is wrong."

Yuko Ichihara also propped her face up and said, "Two flowers won't do either. After all, how can it be a romantic dinner for just the two of us? It's not like we're having a candlelight dinner."

Alice tilted her head and said, "I think the best choice is nine, eleven, twelve, nineteen, or twenty."

Leonora said softly, "I think nineteen is the best, because it includes nine, eleven, and twelve. Twenty is completely unnecessary; it's not like it's proving anything. What do you think?"

Kazami Yuuka nodded and said, "That's right, and I think that only the man can give these flowers with this meaning, so nineteen flowers should be the best."

"Then it's decided!"

Chapter 252 Yuuko Ichihara's Thoughts, and the Group Taking Action (Please Subscribe~)

Having solved the flower problem, Leonora immediately took out her phone and called WGO. It seemed like someone was waiting on the other end of the line, as the call was quickly connected.

"Yes, yes, yes, ten people should be enough. We need to bring two tables."

"It's the kind of platform that models use for runway shows, preferably one that's like a staircase."

"Hmm, it's fine if they're pieced together. Do you have any with a door on the side?"

"No? That's fine too. By the way, it would be best if two of these ten people knew how to do electrical work."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a full-time employee. An intern is fine, but the main ones are the two electricians. Managi said that they will be included in the performance evaluation, and there will be a reward if they perform well."

"Okay, by the way, we also need some etiquette staff, it will probably take... please wait a moment."

Leonora glanced at Yuko Ichihara and the others. Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "It's not like each person is carrying a box. If we stack three boxes like this, it'll be more than enough for twenty people."

"But what about the roses?"

“One person carries one bouquet, and the rest are placed in the car and handed to the extra person. If you ask me, we don’t need so many people. We can just carry a few more, and the rest of the people can push the cart over. After delivering the boxes, they can put the roses in the car. How about that?”

“Okay, then we’ll need twenty ceremonial staff.”

"Of course, it should be women. When they come, they should each bring a small, round wooden tray, about the size of a normal plate."

"Besides that, I'll send you some small props in a message later. As for the ingredients, I'll tell the ingredients department later. You guys can head over there and wait on that private beach. Don't mess things up, or Managi will really lose her temper."

"Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Leonora breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's solved. We can just buy the other small decorations ourselves on the street. The setup won't take much time, and we have enough people to solve the problem quickly."

Erina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm suddenly so nervous!"

"Me too!"

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "We've arrived... It's a little before 2 PM now. We need to get to the private beach before 3 PM to set things up, and we also need to give Momoko time to prepare the cake."

Yuuko Ichihara said softly, "Okay, let's divide the work later. Yuuka, you and Momoko go buy flowers and have them delivered to the villa immediately. Hmm... I'm thinking... since Shiraha is the one delivering them, wouldn't nineteen flowers for each person take a lot of time?"

Kazami Yuuka asked疑惑地, "So, what you're thinking is...?"

"I think since the number is about the same, why not just find a bunch of 999 roses and put them at the front when we take a group photo, so everyone can take one? 999 is definitely better than 19. Let's just take one rose from these 999. How about that? It will save a lot of time."

Leonora nodded and said, "Yes, I agree. Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses are just right for a proposal. It's also the most romantic number. Each person taking one of them also represents a good meaning, and placing it at the front is a great decoration."

Kazami Yuuka nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, I've looked up some information. Many people come here to propose, and flower shops usually keep 99 or 999 roses on hand. Not many people usually buy 999 roses, and even if they're freshly wrapped, it'll be faster than buying 199 roses."

Yuko Ichihara and the others nodded. Yuko Ichihara said softly, "Then, Erina, Hisako, and Alice, the three of you come with me. We're going to buy some small decorations."

"Okay!" x3

Erina tilted her head and said, "But where are we going to hide nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers?"

Yuko Ichihara's eyes darted around before she smiled and said, "Hide? There's absolutely no need to hide it. Let's think about it another way. Who should deliver these flowers?"

"Bai Yu." x6

Kazami Yuuka suddenly realized and said, "I understand, you mean I should set a time to deliver the flowers and leave Shiraha's phone number?"

Everyone looked enlightened. Yuko Ichihara smiled and said, "That's right. I checked, and Shexiang will arrive around 5:30. So it would be best to start everything at 6:00. That way, the sunset will be at its best. So we'll have them deliver it before 6:00. Momoko, you speak English, so you can say it and make sure you don't get the time wrong."

Momoko Akane nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll complete the mission. We've arrived. It's time to get off. There are 23 minutes left until 2 o'clock."

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "Okay, let's set a time. Everyone, meet at the bus stop at the street corner at 2:30. If you haven't arrived before the bus comes, you don't need to wait. Those who are late can go back on their own. Those who have finished their tasks first can go help others. OK?"

"OK!"

"get off!"

"Oh!" xn

As soon as they got off the bus, everyone headed straight for their destination. With a clear objective, they were much faster. This was probably the fastest they had ever gone shopping in their lives as women, bar none.

Meanwhile, in the guesthouse on the other side, the group was still eating and chatting. They always had endless topics to discuss when they got together, and they could inexplicably become lively.

"Alright! Then I hereby declare the first ever family arm wrestling competition to begin!"

"Oh!" xn

With a smile, Justice said, "Then the referees will be... Kaguya, Orange, and our family patriarch, Mr. Shiraha!"

Princess Kaguya and Orange both raised their hands, and Shiraha sighed and said, "I thought you would take me with you."

Tsunade said irritably, "What's the point of playing with you? Who can beat you in a beating?"

"That's right!"

"Alright! Now let's start with rock-paper-scissors. First, let the person who came out alone choose a challenge target. The rest will draw lots. Understand?"

"Understood!"

Esdeath rubbed her hands together and said, "I've wanted to have a match with Chifuyu, this Valkyrie, for a long time."

Chifuyu Orimura chuckled and said, "You might not be as good as me in terms of pure physical fitness."

"See you later!"

"Ok!"

Chapter 253 Sonoko Gets Completely Crushed, with Outrageous Commentary (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone was in high spirits. First, they played rock-paper-scissors, and Sonoko actually won, probably because Yakumo Ran was too lazy to calculate. The rest of them then drew lots to form groups.

Justice smiled and said, "Referees, it's time for you to start speaking."

Princess Kaguya said with some interest, "Well then, let's invite Sonoko-neechan..."

"My sister, tell me about the contestants!"

"Oh! Now, let's have Sonoko choose an opponent!"

Sonoko glanced at them before whispering, "Yuno is an all-around athlete, and as for Sora and Kurenai..."

Kasugano Sora said irritably, "Don't bother me! I finally managed to get Little Red! We're going to have a royal city PK! You should get Garuda or Feng Shui Sister!"

"Tch... Garuda, do you want my arm broken?! Feng Shui-jie carries a sniper rifle every day and her arm strength is better than mine, Nami seems to be quite strong too, Kaguya..."

Kaguya Houraisan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Eh? You're here to see me? Come on!"

"Um... judging from your confident look, never mind... Yumeko, Asagi, and Jinx... Yumeko is going to face Yumiko-nee, that sounds interesting, Asagi seems to... um... I've decided! Jinx! It's you!"

Jinx was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh?! Why did you choose me?! Do I look weak?!"

"Who told you to look so skinny? If you fight Asagi, you can beat Asagi too, and if you're lucky, you might even run into Sora or Kurenai! The shortcut is you!"

Jinx snorted and said, "Come on! If I can't beat you, I'm not Jinx!"

The two sat down at the small table under the expectant gazes of everyone. As they clasped hands, Sonoko's eyes twitched, and she exclaimed, "Wait... your grip is that strong?!"

"Hmph! Come on! Orange! Chef! Shout 'Start!'"

"start!"

The moment the words left her mouth, everyone saw Sonoko scream as she was toppled over. Everyone was stunned. Jinx blew on her ahoge (cowlick) and chuckled, saying, "Hmph! Just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm weak!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Jinx is the kind of person who can carry a rocket launcher, a machine gun, and grenades while running around the city with such a heavy load."
