Chapter 389: Daily life of opening a shop with an overthinking mature sister

Ever since the day he invited Shengzai to go to Totsuki Academy together and failed, Yukihira Soma went to Totsuki Academy alone to participate in the entrance exam.

And later that evening, Shengzai received the message the other party sent to his mobile phone.

Yukihira Soma stated that the entrance exam he took this time almost failed because he encountered a very tricky blonde character.

However, after some twists and turns, he successfully enrolled and even entered a very interesting dormitory.

Shengzai hadn't watched much of the plot of *Food Wars! *, and because too much time had passed, he had forgotten most of it.

But if he remembered correctly, the "blonde character" mentioned in Yukihira Soma's message should be Nakiri Erina, who possessed the "God's Tongue."

There are some gifted people in *Food Wars! * who have senses beyond ordinary people, and Nakiri Erina, who possesses the "God's Tongue," is one of such heaven-favored children.

It is said that this witch lady with the extraordinary sense of taste, the "God's Tongue," complained that the breast milk was too bland when she first spoke.

Shengzai didn't know what the so-called "God's Tongue" specifically was as a supernatural ability, but he felt that his excellent dynamic vision was somewhat similar to the so-called "God's Eye" in this world.

And since the worldviews of *Food Wars! * and *Chuuka Ichiban! * had merged, perhaps the legendary kitchenware in the *Chuuka Ichiban! * world also existed.

If talents like God's senses could be considered god-level, then the legendary kitchenware should be able to be called divine artifacts in this world.

Yukihira Soma had already entered his exclusive dungeon, Totsuki Academy. Shengzai had also been thinking recently whether he should go back to his hometown; maybe he could explode some divine artifacts or secret techniques from the old guys in the Chinese culinary world.

"Shengzai, what are you daydreaming about? Is this fried rice done yet? If you keep slacking off like this, the customers will have opinions."

Shengzai, who was lost in thought, had his train of thought interrupted by Minezaki, who was speaking on the side. After complaining to Shengzai, she also skillfully shoveled a portion of fried rice from the wok into an empty plate.

Since the summer vacation period when Yukihira Soma went to Totsuki Academy for the exam, Minezaki, under his training, was now able to successfully help Shengzai as an assistant.

What surprised Shengzai quite a bit was that Minezaki's culinary talent was quite good. Perhaps because she had worked as a handyman in a restaurant before, her foundation was quite solid.

In just one month, Minezaki had already mastered several home-cooked dishes in the shop. Although her skills couldn't compare to Shengzai's now, they were enough to entertain the current customers.

Because Yukihira Soma went to Totsuki Academy, the Yukihira Restaurant next door naturally suspended business, which led to business at Shengzai's family restaurant becoming even better than before.

Business in the shop was better, but Shengzai couldn't be happy at all because he had little interest in making it big and strong; he just wanted to maintain a normal level and avoid being beaten up when his mother returned.

Due to business being too good, their business hours had been reduced again and again. It was fine not to do the evening peak business, but they couldn't open in the morning and start closing at noon, right?

With no other way, Shengzai could only raise the prices of the dishes on the original menu, hoping to reduce customer traffic.

But what Shengzai didn't expect was that this approach only had a certain effect in the first few days. After a few days, the regular customers would scold him, but they would still patronize as usual.

Seeing that the method of raising prices didn't work, Shengzai soon came up with crooked ideas like daily limits and customer limits. In short, the main point was not to let himself be too tired.

However, soon, facing Shengzai's various strange operations, Minezaki couldn't watch anymore.

Everyone else hoped that business in the shop would get better and better, striving to make it big and strong, but her boss kept making bad moves, seemingly wishing the shop would close down early.

At first, Shengzai raised the prices of dishes and came up with limited sales. Minezaki thought Shengzai wanted to take the high-end route, but Shengzai's subsequent operations were getting more and more outrageous, such as only receiving male customers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and only female customers on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Or something like only opening in the morning on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and only in the afternoon on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In short, he thought of whatever came to his mind.

So, Minezaki, who really couldn't watch anymore, took the management power directly from Shengzai's hands and officially carried out a wave of management reforms for Aunt Wenren Restaurant.

Compared to the original Aunt Wenren Restaurant, just one month later, the current Aunt Wenren Restaurant could be said to have taken on a new look.

Although the shop size was still the same, the old tables, chairs, and environment had been redecorated and designed.

The dishes in the restaurant were now divided into two grades: the regular dishes in the shop were generally cooked by Minezaki, while the high-grade custom dishes were cooked by Shengzai.

Shengzai had no opinion on Minezaki's management and reform of the shop, nor did he choose to intervene.

Because in his view, he paid an extra 10% of the restaurant's shares to Minezaki, which was originally to have her help with management.

And Shengzai was quite satisfied with Minezaki's management reform now, because since he only needed to be responsible for custom dishes, his workload was indeed much easier, and the shop's revenue was skyrocketing day by day.

It had to be said that Minezaki's previous management experience as a company executive wasn't learned in vain. At least in Shengzai's view, using 10% of the shop's revenue to hire the other party was simply too worth it.

And in Minezaki's view, looking at the daily increasing turnover and the customers who came by reputation, she also felt more and more sense of achievement.

Although Shengzai was too lazy, his culinary skills were really nothing to complain about. The better the business in the shop, the happier Minezaki was. After all, she not only had 10% of the shares in this restaurant, but she might also become the mistress here in the future.

More than a month had passed, and Shengzai and Minezaki could now get along quite naturally. During this time, what Minezaki improved was not only her own culinary skills, but her overthinking ability was the same.

In her view, Shengzai completely delegating power to her was recognizing her status as the mistress here.

It was just that Minezaki felt a bit depressed that more than a month had passed, but Shengzai hadn't launched any actual offensive against her.

Regarding Shengzai, Minezaki undoubtedly had a good impression. After all, the other party was not only young and handsome but also the person who pulled her up when she was most helpless.

Living under the same roof for more than a month, Minezaki originally thought their relationship could have some actual breakthrough. She didn't even lock the door when taking a bath and sleeping at night now, just waiting for Shengzai's "attack." However, as a result, the other party was simply unbelievably well-behaved!
