Chapter 394: Minezaki, who is working hard to gain the recognition of her future mother-in-law
After confirming that the other party was the famous "Demon King of Food" and "God's Tongue," Minezaki's attitude also took a 180-degree turn.
"I didn't expect the 'Demon King of Food' and 'God's Tongue' to visit our small shop. It really makes our shop shine.
Two, please come in quickly. I will have someone arrange a special seat for you."
Seeing Minezaki's changed attitude, Erina looked used to it, because this was the correct way to open it.
At the same time, she also gave a big thumbs up to Arato Hisako beside her. She is worthy of being the secretary she relies on; she knows to introduce herself while introducing her grandfather.
Looking at Nakiri Senzaemon who was welcomed into the shop first, Erina didn't forget to look at Yukihira Soma on the side with raised eyebrows and said: "Dumbfounded, right? It seems that the name of me and my grandfather is much stronger than your face-brushing."
"So you are also one of the 'Totsuki Elite Ten'?"
Regarding Erina's provocation, Yukihira Soma didn't care at all, but instead developed some interest and fighting spirit in Erina's "Totsuki Elite Ten" identity.
After all, he had heard Shengzai say before that the "Totsuki Elite Ten" were the ten students with the best culinary skills in Totsuki Academy. Since Erina in front of him was one of them, didn't that mean her culinary level was very powerful!
"Humph, know this lady's power now? I said before that I am the number one of this year, no matter who it is, they can't shake my position."
Hearing Yukihira Soma's inquiry, Erina thought the other party finally knew her power, so she was very proud at this moment.
However, what she didn't expect was that Yukihira Soma looked at her seriously the next second and said: "Hey, Totsuki Elite Ten, do you want to have a competition with me?"
Seeing Yukihira Soma's serious look, not like a joke at all, Erina realized that the other party's surprise just now seemed to be different from what she imagined.
"Humph, boring. Not to mention that you can't win against me, and do you think that wanting to challenge the 'Totsuki Elite Ten' is such a simple thing?"
Leaving such a sentence, Erina didn't explain anymore and walked into the shop with her grandfather.
Sure enough, annoying guys are still annoying. She originally thought the other party was scared by her "Totsuki Elite Ten" name, but who knew it wasn't like that at all.
"Are you familiar with the granddaughter of the Totsuki Director-General? Then do you know what type of cooking they usually like?"
After welcoming Nakiri Senzaemon and Erina into the shop, Minezaki sneaked to Yukihira Soma to inquire about information.
The reason Minezaki was so enthusiastic about Nakiri Senzaemon and Erina was naturally because she knew that if the cooking in the shop could gain the recognition of the "Demon King of Food" and "God's Tongue," then the reputation of their restaurant would be different from now on.
Compared to Shengzai and Yukihira Soma who only wanted to cook well, Minezaki wanted to make Aunt Wenren Restaurant big and strong, because she believed that only in this way could she gain the recognition of the "Mother-in-law" Aunt Wenren Qingying!
Shengzai's culinary level was nothing to complain about, but in terms of doing business, it was a bit too lazy.
If she could carry forward the Aunt Wenren family's cooking, Minezaki believed she could definitely gain the recognition of that mother-in-law she had never met, so she was so attentive to the "Demon King of Food" and "God's Tongue" who came to the door.
Honestly, Minezaki had quite a bit of confidence in Shengzai's cooking, but the other party wasn't an ordinary diner.
This is the "Demon King of Food" who holds the ears of the Japanese culinary world, and the "God's Tongue" who is extremely picky about cooking.
If they could gain their recognition, then the Aunt Wenren family's cooking could naturally be carried forward in Japan.
But if they were dissatisfied with the cooking, or even labeled it "tasteless," then Shengzai's culinary career would be over.
It was also because of this that Minezaki was so worried and expectant, and went to Yukihira Soma to try to inquire about the private information of Nakiri Senzaemon and the others.
However, it was a pity that Yukihira Soma was purely a novice. Regarding Nakiri Senzaemon and Nakiri Erina, he knew even less than Minezaki.
After walking into Aunt Wenren Restaurant, Erina found that although this restaurant was opened in such a deep street and alley, the interior decoration style and the service attitude of the waiters were quite commendable.
It's just that when passing by some customers' tables, Erina also found that the cooking they were eating now, although the level was still okay, was far from as powerful as her grandfather said.
A first-class chef doesn't necessarily have to taste the cooking to judge whether it is delicious.
The so-called color, fragrance, and taste are the perfect embodiment of an excellent dish.
Just like a simple fried rice, whether the fried rice is fragrant and distinct, it is enough to roughly infer the overall level of this chef.
However, after Erina glanced at the cooking eaten by other customers around, she found that the cooking level of these dishes was average, not to mention completely laymen, but at most it was the level of ordinary Totsuki students.
"Grandfather, looking at it this way, that Aunt Wenren Shengzai is not as amazing as you said."
Because she went to Yukihira Soma to inquire about information, Minezaki followed over at this moment.
When she heard Erina's words, her face also showed embarrassment: "That Nakiri-sama... the regular dishes in the shop are generally cooked by me.
If you want to eat the cooking made by Shengzai, please follow me here."
Although she was mocked by Erina for her average skills, Minezaki didn't get angry at all, and was even a bit happy.
After all, she had only been learning cooking from Shengzai for more than a month. Originally, she had always thought that her talent was mediocre, but now Erina actually said that she had the culinary level of an ordinary Totsuki student, so no matter what, she was still quite powerful.
Now Shengzai is responsible for special cooking in the shop, which is custom-made dishes that customers can order according to their own preferences.
And naturally, for this kind of custom dish, its price is naturally very expensive.
It's just that there is never a shortage of rich people in this world, plus Shengzai's culinary level is indeed getting more and more awesome, so even if the price of the dishes rises again and again, the number of people who book custom dishes every day is still endless.
Shengzai himself was quite satisfied with this business method thought up by Minezaki.
Because if he only kept cooking the fixed dishes in the shop, it would be difficult for his culinary level to improve.
Facing the diversified needs of customers, he could flexibly change dishes and make continuous innovations, which could make his culinary level advance by leaps and bounds.
And not only did he get good training, but he even made more money, which could be said to be the best of both worlds.
