Rebirth as a Cooking God

The day after the first stage of the Sapporo tournament ended.

In the early morning, it was just dawn and there were no pedestrians on the street. Xia's main store, which had been closed for a while, opened early.

The store has been upgraded twice and was ventilated last night. Xia Yu didn't need to worry about hygiene. After he got up early and boxed for exercise, he went around with a feather duster to remove dust and wiped the tables, chairs and bar spotlessly with a towel.

When Maki and Erina got up and gathered in the shop, Xia Yu entertained them with a sumptuous breakfast.

The morning quiet didn't last long.

Around eight o'clock, there was a knock on the half-opened store door.

A head poked in, looking at him with gleaming eyes:

Please, are you open for business as usual?

The weather in Tokyo in November is neither cold nor hot, but thin sweaters and long sleeves are a must. This female guest who came in the morning was dressed in a shirt, knitted sweater, fashionable short skirt and pantyhose. , the grace remains unchanged.

Huh--

The voice was a bit familiar. Maki was chatting with Tasokoe and Erina. She turned around in shock and found that it was Ren Xue, an old customer. She came by herself and did not see her boyfriend.

Sister Xue, come in.

Xia Yu heard the sound and stuck his head out of the open kitchen.

Ren Xue was flattered and went straight to the bar to sit down. At this moment, Xia Yu was cleaning the tableware, and Tamagawa Misa was helping. As for Tamagawa Ayaka, she went back to her master Tamagawa's house early. Of course, her trip was approved by Xia Yu.

Let's have a cup of hot tea first.

We specially used the clear spring water in the water tank to make a cup of warm green tea that is familiar to our regular customers.

Holding the tea cup in hand, smelling the aroma of tea that was escaping, Ren Xue lowered her head to take a sip. She couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, sniffed and said: The taste of nostalgia, tea leaves are ordinary, but the water for making tea is extraordinary. , since I drank your tea, I can no longer count myself as drinking tea when I go to other restaurants or make tea myself...

She stared intently at the young chef in the kitchen.

Boss Xia, can I order some food...

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door of the shop.

This time it was not one or two, but a large group of people. Ren Xue looked back and saw that the store had become dark at some point. Customers spontaneously formed a long queue, and the queue was quiet.

Xia's store is usually open after evening. Regular customers naturally know this rule. However, in the queue, there are not only regular customers, but also many new customers who come here because of their reputation. There are many blond and blue-eyed foreigners, and there are many who look like they are holding cameras and shooting equipment. The media reporters, mixed in with the team, were anxious but had to hold it back.

so many people!

Ren Xue was speechless, and at the same time secretly glad that she had arrived early.

In fact, those who are interested will know the report of Totsuki team returning to Tokyo after reading the news last night, and the most dazzling star chef in the team, besides returning to his own restaurant, where else can he go.

what to do?

Maki, Erina, Tadokoro, and Tamagawa Misa spontaneously stood in a row, waiting for Xia Yu's instructions.

Zhu Qing came yawning and saw the grand scene at the door of the store. He couldn't help but said dumbfounded: It's not eight o'clock yet? Let them disperse quickly, otherwise they will definitely be busy from morning to night.

That's right.

The number of people in the queue is still increasing. If you look down from above, you will find that the flow of people is gradually gathering from the tram station to the shopping street.

Our Xia's store only opens normally in the evening...

Xia Yu had come out of the kitchen and said with his chin on his face, glancing at Ren Xue, a regular customer who was watching him eagerly. He was in a good mood after meditating last night. Besides, a group of true fans who could come at this time couldn't just let it go. It chills the fans’ hearts, doesn’t it?

Entertain!

He made a decision and said, But breakfast is limited! And only for the first 500 people, each person will get a cup of hot tea and a snack!

Well, as for the price, let's go for the popular style, 2,000 yen per person...

oh!

Ren Xue shouted excitedly: Long live Boss Xia!

She pushed the empty tea cup and said shamelessly: Well, the cup of tea just now doesn't count, right? Give me another cup, I'll pay for it!

As he spoke, he took out two thousand-yuan banknotes and slapped them on the bar.

500 breakfasts?!

Zhu Qing threw cold water and said: This amount is quite a lot. What are you going to do? It certainly cannot be complicated, but if it is too ordinary, it will only damage your own golden brand.

You are the chef with the most fans after the first stage of the Sapporo competition! My Chef Xia!

She gloated.

There are many reporters in the team. There are many famous people. You must not let them grab you by the pigtails——

Xia Yu was speechless when he heard this.

This aunt has a good heart, but she has a poisonous tongue.

rest assured--

With a big wave of his hand, he said, I ordered the ingredients, you can help me.

There is still a lot of flour in stock in the store. Not to mention the main store, the underground food warehouse at the branch also has high-quality beef that needs to be used. First, several women present were mobilized to help the kitchen, carry flour, and move frozen beef to defrost.

As for Xia Yu himself, he called his aunt Zhu Qing and went into the kitchen together.

There are two stoves and four frying pans, and the fat used for frying in small shops is poured in. No special preparation is required.

The remaining two stoves are equipped with Chinese woks.

Xia's restaurant began to be busy after a long absence.

Outside.

About a quarter of an hour later, a fully loaded minibus stopped on the street.

A reporter happened to be getting off the bus and was about to rush to line up. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a tall man getting off the minibus. He screamed and turned over and sat down.

Holding the SLR camera tightly and seeing that the lens was not damaged or damaged, the reporter breathed a sigh of relief and looked up into the tall man's condescending, indifferent eyes. His body shook and his face showed fear.

The tall man lost interest in the reporter, turned around, looked at Xia's restaurant surrounded by crowds, and said with a low smile: It seems that it is not easy to see him and say hello today.

Who says it isn't?

Five or six strange men and women started getting off the bus.

These people have clothes that are completely different from those in metropolitan Tokyo. There are flower monks with beards and bald heads, wearing a circle of large Buddhist beads around their necks, elegant men wearing scribes' robes, and even long hair and scarves. A graceful woman wearing an apricot chiffon short skirt and a light cardigan, holding an oil-paper umbrella with both hands.

The leading man turned around. He was wearing a black crane cloak. The reporter just caught a glimpse of the unicorn pattern embroidered on the back of the coat. His pupils shrank and he said: They are...

Except for the leading man, the others had changed into regular clothes and were difficult to identify.

It can't be wrong!

The reporter got excited, hid a little further away, raised his SLR camera and started taking pictures. At the same time, the reporter was already thinking secretly about a hot news headline. This headline did not require restraint, and the more eye-catching the better.

The competition team from Bamianlou is going to compete in the gym?

Kicking the gym? It seems that's not enough!

Shiji! Young celebrity chef Xia Yu faced the challenge of Shiji on the first day after the competition! ...This seems to be OK... The reporter made a decision and ignored the situation. The news with the title of 'Shiji' will definitely be able to Attract a lot of readers, and then the traffic will come.
