Chapter 381
After the turmoil of the land planning company came to an end, Wen Shengzai's "Aunt Wenren restaurant" also officially started to restart business the next day.
Because Minezaki made quite a big stir before, many neighbors and street folks also came here because of their reputation, wanting to see if the kid of the Aunt Wenren family's culinary skills had really improved a lot.
And thanks to the power sharing of Shengzais from other worlds, a few days after reopening, Wen Shengzai was also becoming more and more handy in using the power he gained, and his culinary level was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.
Just a few days passed, and the small shop that was originally on the verge of bankruptcy not only changed its decline but even became more and more prosperous.
If it wasn't for Wen Shengzai's current physical fitness being heaven-defying, he even felt that he couldn't cope with the increasing number of customers.
"Yukihira, that guy is really troublesome. How come I didn't know before that this guy was so persistent.
These days, I've been so busy that my feet haven't touched the ground, and he still keeps pestering me to compete with him. If I had that leisure, wouldn't it be better for me to lie in bed and accompany my two-dimensional wife?"
Before, Wen Shengzai's restaurant and Yukihira's restaurant were on the same street, so although the relationship between the two families was good, because they were in the same industry, they could be considered competitors.
When Wen Shengzai's cheap mother Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying was the head chef, although the business was slightly better than the Yukihira restaurant, if you looked into it carefully, it was actually half a catty to eight taels.
After all, his mother Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying, although cold and aloof in personality, was indeed a great beauty, and her figure was also quite hot.
As everyone knows, no matter which world it is in, the biological nature of beauty has a professional bonus for any industry, so this might be the reason why their family's business was always a little better than the Yukihira restaurant.
But ever since Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying returned to her hometown, the business at their restaurant began to plummet, and the customers almost all went to the Yukihira restaurant.
And now the head chef of the Yukihira restaurant, Joichiro Yukihira, also went out for something, so now the two restaurants became a competition between the successors Wen Shengzai and Soma Yukihira.
For the first two days of the Aunt Wenren restaurant's reopening, the business at the Yukihira restaurant was much better than theirs, and it could even be called crushing.
After all, Soma Yukihira's culinary skills were still quite famous in the vicinity.
But Wen Shengzai... before, during the few days when the Aunt Wenren head chef left, they had already tasted Wen Shengzai's craft, so it was quite normal that they didn't have much confidence in him.
But as the saying goes, "good wine is not afraid of deep alleys," and gold will always shine.
There were also many old customers of the Aunt Wenren restaurant, as well as some people who came here because of their reputation, who entered Wen Shengzai's shop with the mentality of trying again, and after tasting the dishes Wen Shengzai made, they couldn't stop.
After the news spread that the Aunt Wenren restaurant's dishes were not only delicious but also had a handsome little brother in the kitchen, the customers in Wen Shengzai's shop began to increase day by day.
Most of the customers who came to his shop to eat at the beginning were young and beautiful girls.
And as Wen Shengzai's culinary level became more and more profound, his level of "drugging" was also becoming more and more awesome.
After the young and beautiful girls in the shop ate his dishes, one by one they were flushed and sent various welfare CGs, so soon, another group of men came here because of their reputation, which led to Wen Shengzai's small restaurant starting to explode.
Wen Shengzai had only been operating for a week, and the peak customer flow in the shop sometimes exceeded that when Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying was operating it.
Is this Wen Shengzai's culinary skills already surpassing his mother Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying?
Although he was indeed very formidable now, Wen Shengzai felt that there was still a considerable distance from surpassing his mother, who was a big shot in the Dark Culinary Realm.
As for why there were so many customers, it could only be said that handsome chefs were, to some extent, more popular than beautiful chefs.
Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying, as a beauty, could attract a group of old lechers, but couldn't attract female customers.
But Wen Shengzai was different. He first attracted a group of young and beautiful ladies, and those ladies, after eating his dishes and sending out welfare CGs, could attract a large group of old lechers who came here because of their reputation.
Of course, the deliciousness of the dishes themselves was also very important, otherwise, how could he keep those customers just by relying on welfare? It's not like people have too much money to burn.
Because of the above reasons, from the third day of Wen Shengzai's reopening, the business situation in the shop had already surpassed the Yukihira restaurant operated by Soma Yukihira, which led to the good friend being very unhappy and wanting to challenge Wen Shengzai every day.
Joichiro Yukihira went out, and now Soma Yukihira had no other opponents on this whole street, so every time he was free, Yukihira would have a food war duel with Wen Shengzai.
At the beginning, Wen Shengzai didn't refuse this. After all, occasionally exchanging and communicating with other chefs could also promote his own growth.
But after a week passed, Wen Shengzai was a bit unable to handle the persistence of Soma Yukihira.
He was already very tired from operating the restaurant at home every day, and now there was another hot-blooded growth-type male lead who was like a piece of cowhide candy. Who could stand this?
Heaven has pity, in order not to make himself too hard, Wen Shengzai even reduced the business hours at home again and again. Anyway, according to his mother's meaning, her expectation for Wen Shengzai was just not to let the restaurant go bankrupt.
And the time he specifically set aside was for himself to rest and research new dishes, not to accompany Soma Yukihira for food wars.
"Yukihira, that guy, I don't know where he gets so much energy. Now that there are so many customers every day, doesn't he get tired?"
The business at Wen Shengzai's Aunt Wenren restaurant was becoming more and more prosperous, but this didn't affect the business at the Yukihira restaurant.
Because there were too many customers coming, some people felt that the queue was too long, so they would also enter Yukihira's shop to dine.
After all, the home-cooked dishes made by Yukihira were not much worse than Wen Shengzai's, except that he wasn't as handsome as Wen Shengzai, and there were fewer cute girls in the shop sending welfare, there was nothing else to pick on.
Although it was only six o'clock in the afternoon, for an ordinary family restaurant, six to eight o'clock was the peak dining time for customers, but Wen Shengzai, this guy, had already pulled down the shop door and was preparing to hang up the "Closed" sign.
However, just when he was complaining and preparing to close the shop door, he found a figure squatting in front of his restaurant's door with his legs crossed and his head buried in his knees.
"This lady, the shop is already closed. If you want to dine, you can go to the Yukihira restaurant next door. Their family's dishes are not only high-quality and inexpensive, but the taste is also quite good. Everyone who has eaten it says it's good..."
Wen Shengzai's words hadn't finished yet, and this lady who had buried her head in her knees also raised her head, looking at Wen Shengzai with lost eyes: "I want to eat that 'Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions' from last time, I've been queuing for a long time..."
