The voting method is very simple. Just put a coin in the plate of the person who thinks he has won.

The referee system is a more traditional odd-number referee system. The purpose of an odd-number referee is to prevent a draw.

The referees are Mizuhara Fuyumi, Inui Hinatako, Seki Moripei and Donado Gotoda. In addition, Imagawa Kaede, Ryuju Momo and assistant Asai are also included in the referees.

The voting began. Just when Tanomo Megumi was too nervous to look at the coins in the plate, before Imagawa Kaede and the others could make a choice, the other four Totsuki graduates had already put the coins in their hands into Shinomiya Kojiro's plate.

Regardless of right or wrong, the gap between the two sides is indeed too big, so the chefs naturally won't say anything.

At this point, it can be said that Kojiro Shinomiya has already won the food battle.

"It seems that you trust this last-place guy too much," said Shinomiya Kojiro with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Megumi Tadokoro who was standing by also started crying, probably because she was the one who caused Soma Yukihira to drop out of school.

Just when Imagawa Kaede was about to say something, Dojima Gin took out a coin and put it on Tadokoro Megumi's plate.

"What do you mean?" Shinomiya Kojiro was a little confused by this scene. How could he not know that his cooking skills were much better than that of the last one?

At this time, Imagawa Kaede also asked Momoko-chan and Aunt Asai for the coins in their hands, so he had three coins in his hand. He then imitated Dojima Gin and put the three coins into the plate representing Tadokoro Megumi.

"So it's a draw now?" Imagawa Kaede said with a smile.

"Master Imagawa, what do you mean by this?"

Faced with this situation, Shinomiya Kojiro felt that Dojima Gin and Imagawa Kaede were humiliating him.

"I don't mean anything else, Chef Sigong, don't think too much. I think Chef Sigong should know the purpose of my visit today."

"After all, this is my first time trying to invest in a restaurant, so I will naturally be more cautious. And Chef Shigong, your cooking skills should have stagnated for a long time, right?"

Imagawa Kaede ignored Shinomiya Kojiro's shocked look and continued:

"A non-top chef who can't improve is actually not worth investing too much in. So in my eyes, you are at most a store of value, and you don't have much room for appreciation."

"However, before coming here, I talked a lot with Chef Dojima, and he said that you should be able to gain some insights from this food battle."

"Out of trust in Chef Dojima, I chose to make an extra trip. Otherwise, this little thing wouldn't have made me waste two hours."

"But this also made me a little curious about the other party in your food battle, especially when Chef Dojima asked Miss Tadokoro Megumi to be the head chef, I became even more curious."

"Although I'm an outsider, in my opinion, it's obvious that Soma Yukihira next to him is a better cook, but his level is still not enough to compete with Mr. Shinomiya."

"And after I carefully tasted Tadokoro-san's dishes, I discovered something. Chef Shinomiya, I think it would be better for you to try her dishes."

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kojiro had no choice but to pick up the cutlery, cut a small piece and put it in his mouth:

"The difference is so big, this last-place guy's level..."

However, before he finished speaking, he cut another piece and put it in his mouth.

"Well... I think you understand. She probably added allspice to it to help your digestion. What a good girl you are, aren't you?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, Tanaka Hui said a little embarrassedly:

"Teachers, you must have tasted a lot of dishes for us in the past few days, so I thought..."

At this time, Inui Hinatako took the opportunity to hug Tanomo Megumi and started to cling to her.

Imagawa Kaede ignored the gaze of Longzhu Tao and approached Tadokoro Megumi and said:

"Can we exchange contact information? If Tadokoro-san wants to open a store after graduating from Totsuki, you can always contact me."

"Oh...can I? But Yukihira-san's cooking skills are obviously better than mine, right?"

"I guess he will inherit the family restaurant? Of course, if Yukihira-san needs anything, you can come to me."

After the two exchanged contact information, Shinomiya Kojiro seemed to have come to his senses and said:

"Whatever, you should just keep working hard in this clumsy way from now on."

After saying this, he wanted to leave, but Assistant Asai, who was waiting quietly on the side, stopped Shinomiya Kojiro and said:

"Chef Shigong, this time regarding the young master's investment in your SHINO'S restaurant, I have taken full control of it. Let's come over here and talk about the specific matters."

Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kojiro became happy. He originally thought that he had lost an adult and the investment from Imagawa Kaede would be lost. However, now that there was a sudden turn of events, he was naturally very happy.

He originally returned to the island country because he felt that his level had not been able to break through, and thought of returning here to find inspiration, but he was short of money, and his original investors were not very happy with his decision. After all, the store in Paris was doing well and brought them a lot of profits every year. Why should they take the risk of opening a new store in Tokyo?

On the other hand, they were also afraid that Shinomiya Kojiro would be based in Tokyo in the future. After all, Shinomiya Kojiro is an islander after all. If the chef has gone there, then this restaurant here would be a branch.

However, when they really talked about it, he was not so happy. Assistant Asai had been with Imagawa Mikiko for so many years, helping her deal with various affairs. His experience in business negotiations could be said to be perfect. In addition, with the behemoth like the Imagawa family standing behind him, the momentum he had developed over the years was no joke.

After a few rounds, Shinomiya Kojiro felt a lot of pressure. He originally wanted to get some money from the Imagawa family's investment to spend. After all, everyone is a human being and needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Making money is not bad.

However, Assistant Asai had a good grasp of his psychology. At her request, the decoration of the new store was naturally much more advanced, and a better location was chosen. Therefore, the investment of the Imagawa family was much more than what Shinomiya Kojiro expected, but after a thorough calculation, he had less than 1 million yen left, and he had to use this money as working capital, and he even had to put in a lot of money himself.

But even so, he still felt that he had made a profit. After all, the location represented the flow of customers, and the interior decoration represented the level of luxury. If these two points were up, he could also go to WGO to add a star to his store.

However, what he could not have imagined was that the decoration work of his new store was almost contracted out to a company related to the Imagawa family, and the location he had originally favored was also changed to a better place. In this regard, the real estate company related to the Imagawa family could also give him some "help".

Well, to put it bluntly, these investments are simply transferring money from one hand to the other. The Imagawa family didn't pay much for it, and it also brought in customers. Of course, they got a restaurant with a quick return on investment and a tenant with a long-term (rental) income for the land they own.

Assistant Asai looked at this guy, who had an embarrassed expression but a smile on his face, just like his previous negotiating opponents. For a moment, he just wanted to say, you may think you have made a profit, but I have made more.

However, before the two signed the contract, Imagawa Kaede also asked Shinomiya Kojiro to agree to a condition of his, that is, the employees in their store can try to introduce new dishes, as long as they are qualified, they can be added to the menu and enjoy certain dividends and rewards.

In fact, restaurants like theirs basically only accept customers with reservations and only sell related set meals, which means that customers don’t have many choices, you eat whatever I serve.

In the past, Imagawa Kaede hated this kind of thing, but now that he owns a restaurant, he has begun to like this model. In fact, the prestige is empty. How to describe the prestige? It is actually somewhat similar to gimmicks and hype.

It's not something real, but this fake thing can indeed be exchanged for money. There is a reason why so many restaurants choose this model.

For a restaurant or a store, it is not good to have too many items. On the one hand, customers may have trouble choosing, and on the other hand, won’t it be troublesome for you to prepare the dishes?

There must be a reason why so-called high-end restaurants like these can make huge profits despite such high costs. The price of the dishes is just one of the reasons. With this reservation model, the cost of your dishes, such as the loss rate, will also be reduced.

In general, under the low- and mid-end ordering model, there will inevitably be ingredients that cannot be sold on the same day. Such unscrupulous merchants may deal with them, but it is unknown whether some not-so-conscientious merchants will sell them to customers again.

This is also one of the reasons why food safety issues are not encountered in so-called high-end restaurants, but are more likely to be encountered in general restaurants.

It is actually easy to understand the change in Imagawa Kaede's attitude towards the set meal system and the a la carte system. It is a very simple truth that the butt determines the head.

After returning to the hotel lobby, Assistant Asai first met with Shiina Mahiru and then went to rest.

While Longzhu Tao was taking a bath, Imagawa Kaede saw Shiina Mahiru tidying up her clothes, and suddenly wanted to slap her. However, after walking over to her, Imagawa Kaede thought of the key words the system had said before, so he walked to a chair nearby with some disappointment and sat down to start writing "Charlotte" which he had not finished in the morning.

At this moment, Shiina Mahiru felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Imagawa Kaede suddenly become obedient. In fact, this was not the first time that Imagawa Kaede was tempted to do something. The two of them had been seeing each other for such a long time, and Imagawa Kaede had been tempted to do something countless times before.

In the past, after Imagawa Kaede finished taking pictures, she would blush and say a few words to him angrily, but this seemed to be of no use to Imagawa Kaede. She would usually say that she would not dare to do it again, but she would not hesitate to do it next time when she got the chance. After all, hesitating for a second would be disrespectful to Mahiru's beauty.

This time, before Imagawa Kaede came over, she had already sensed what he was thinking. In just a few seconds, she was struggling over whether to cover her face and dodge, then turn around and glare at him, or just pretend she didn't know and let him do what he wanted.

When Imagawa Kaede had already approached her and even began to deliberately gather strength, she finally chose to pretend that she knew nothing. After all, after rejecting him last night, the two of them had hardly any intimate actions the whole day, which actually made Mahiru a little uncomfortable. She thought that after he did this, she would pretend to be angry, and Imagawa Kaede would not do anything else today.

However, just when she had anticipated the burning yet numb feeling, Imagawa Kaede left directly. How to describe this feeling? It's probably like when you have found the materials in the evening, when you are ready to feel tired and go to bed obediently, your cell phone suddenly runs out of battery, and the materials are gone, so it is impossible to make a jump shot.

Then you can only have so many regrets and so many expectations...

But since Imagawa Kaede didn't move, Shiina Mahiru naturally wouldn't take the initiative to move forward immediately, although she now had the same itchy sound as when the female math professor accidentally scratched her nails on the blackboard during class.

She still had to deal with the things at hand. After she finished folding their clothes, she saw Imagawa Kaede still sitting at the table typing, so she walked over with a cup of warm water.

"Have some water." Mahiru said and put the cup next to him.

Seeing this, Imagawa Kaede said, "Is Mahiru done with your work?"

"Well, do you want me to give you a massage?"

Although Imagawa Kaede was somewhat tempted, he still knew his self-control: "No need, I didn't write much today. I just found time to write for a while because I saw you folding clothes."

Hearing this, although Mahiru felt a little disappointed, she showed no sign of it on the surface. Instead, she smiled and said, "By the way, you said you would show it to me this morning."

"Well, you take a look first. I can take a break for a while." As he said that, he handed Longzhu Tao's tablet to her and picked up the cup next to it.

"Is this tablet Momo's?" Mahiru asked.

"Well, you know mine. I saw Taozi's here this morning, so I took it and used it."

Mahiru had never had any doubts about this in the first place, and now what Imagawa Kaede said was reasonable and well-founded. In fact, it was just a casual question, so after hearing his answer, she started to read.

……

"I feel like this male protagonist is not a good person." Mahiru suddenly said after watching for a while.

"But it feels very real, doesn't it? Compared to all the middle school boys who keep saying that justice will prevail, this is what most ordinary people of this age would think after gaining superpowers."

"What about people of other ages?" Mahiru's thoughts were also very clear.

"In fact, it's not necessarily based on age. It can only be said that for most people, after all, if it is placed on a calmer person, it should be avoided as much as possible."
