Chapter 382

When seeing the face of the other party who raised her head, Wen Shengzai was also stunned, because the other party was Minezaki, who came to the door over a week ago with an overbearing posture and wanted Wen Shengzai and Yukihira to stop business.

Although only a week had passed, the current Minezaki looked much more haggard than before.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party still had a deep cleavage, Wen Shengzai wouldn't even have recognized that the other party was the big-breasted royal sister who had a temperament like a queen before.

"What happened to you? How did you become like this after only a week!

The money you transferred to me before, didn't I only take a small fraction of it and transfer the rest back to you?"

The bet between Wen Shengzai and Minezaki was that if Wen Shengzai won, Minezaki would have to pay Wen Shengzai an amount equivalent to the land transfer fee as the cost of eating the dishes.

If placed in an ordinary world, such an agreement is quite unreasonable, but in this culinary world, such an agreement even has legal effect.

The reason is that in this world, a delicious custom dish being as expensive as a sky-high price is really not a strange thing.

Sometimes you have money, but if you want to invite graduates like the "Totsuki Ten" to cook for you, they might not give you this face.

Wen Shengzai would set such a bet with Minezaki just because the funds in the shop were tight, and he needed the ingredient purchase fee to restart business.

And when Minezaki really transferred a long string of zeros to his account, Wen Shengzai transferred back most of the money afterward.

Because he felt that his ordinary "Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions," although he did put some thought into it, didn't reach the point of being outrageously expensive.

The 200,000 yen he took against his conscience was already a sky-high price for slaughtering customers. He really couldn't take the 20 million yen Minezaki paid in full...

It was also because he returned most of the funds that Wen Shengzai didn't understand why Minezaki was so haggard now.

Logically speaking, although she failed in her work this time, she would inevitably be scolded by the company, or even fired.

But as a rich woman with a net worth of at least 20 million yen, even if Minezaki lost her job, she could live very comfortably no matter where she went, right?

"It's gone, it's all gone. Because of the last incident, I was not only fired by the company, but the company even pushed all the failure of this development project onto me and made me pay ten percent of the compensation.

I went to ask for help from my former boss, but he had already hired a new woman to replace my position..."

Actually, Minezaki didn't finish her words, which was that when she went to ask for help from her original boss, the other party had crazily hinted to her that as long as she let him have his way with her, he could come forward to help Minezaki solve all problems, including the company's compensation problem.

However, it was a pity that looking at the boss with a big belly and a lecherous look at her body, Minezaki finally didn't choose to compromise.

And it was also because of this that Minezaki was not only fired by the company but also paid a considerable amount of money as compensation for the loss caused to the company.

Simply put, although Wen Shengzai didn't take her money, the compensation the company wanted her to bear finally emptied her out.

It's not that Minezaki didn't think about appealing, but it's a pity that she was just a high-level wage earner; how could she fight against the power of capital?

So in the end, not only were her savings of many years lost, but even the car and house she originally owned were sold.

Minezaki, who felt a blow, only felt that life was not worth living. Originally, she wanted to end her life here, but at the last moment, she inexplicably remembered the dreamlike dish she tasted a few days ago.

Even if she had to die, she wanted to experience that unforgettable taste at least one more time.

Hearing that Minezaki not only lost her original job but was also framed by an unscrupulous company, Wen Shengzai's face also showed a look of helplessness.

Honestly speaking, Minezaki didn't do anything wrong. Everyone was just serving their own masters. She was working for her job, so she tried every means to let Wen Shengzai and Soma Yukihira close the shop.

Although her previous means were a bit despicable, she also paid the price for it at this moment.

As for Wen Shengzai and Soma Yukihira, they didn't do anything wrong either. They were just defending their own rights.

Even if Wen Shengzai didn't bet with Minezaki, Minezaki, who messed up the matter, would face the same harshness from the unscrupulous company when she went back.

However, the fact that the other party ended up in this situation had something to do with him, so after seeing Minezaki, who had a haggard face, Wen Shengzai finally sighed and invited her into the shop.

Minezaki, who had lost eyes, entered the Aunt Wenren restaurant and didn't care that this was the low-class restaurant she had despised a few days ago. After finding a seat and sitting down, she looked at Wen Shengzai and said: "I want to eat that 'Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions' from a few days ago again."

Glancing at the menu in the shop, although the dish she ate that day was not on it, Minezaki still looked at Wen Shengzai and said persistently.

Although she was now homeless, she still had no problem eating a "Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions" that Wen Shengzai charged her 200,000 yen for before with the few assets she had left.

Anyway, as long as she ate that dish one more time, she would truly have no worries, so Minezaki didn't consider how to live in the future.

Hearing Minezaki's words, Wen Shengzai didn't say much, but tied his scarf and walked into the kitchen for a while.

And after waiting for about ten minutes, Wen Shengzai brought a steaming dish and delivered it to Minezaki.

"What do you mean? The dish I want is 'Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions,' not this thing!

Do you think I'm down and out, so I can't afford your special dish... clearly I just... wanted to taste that unforgettable taste one last time..."

Seeing the dish Wen Shengzai served was not the "Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions" she was thinking about, but a steaming bowl of porridge, Minezaki's emotions instantly broke down and she cried loudly.

And looking at the royal sister whose emotions were a bit out of control, Wen Shengzai didn't care about the other party and said: "You should haven't eaten anything properly for a few days, right?

Although 'Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions' is made of vegetarian meat, it is still a bit greasy. I think it would be better for you to eat something light now.

Don't worry, the taste of this 'Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge,' although simple, shouldn't disappoint you.

And this is also not sold in the shop, you can also understand this as a custom dish like 'Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions'."

The white porridge boiled out of the clay pot was as pure white as white jade. The finely chopped lean meat and black century egg scattered in the white porridge, as well as the green onion flowers, were like embellishing works of art, not only making the originally plain white porridge distinct in color but also making it emit a fragrance, instantly making people feel a great appetite.
