Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Tadokoro Megumi also enjoyed his service, and voluntarily opened her arms, turning into a dress-up doll, allowing Shiro to do as he pleased without making any move.

However, the other party's slightly bold actions during the process still made her blush. Even though they were an old married couple, she couldn't remain indifferent to being treated like this in broad daylight.

However, perhaps to make Bai Yuan happy, she stubbornly remained motionless, and it took three to five minutes before he helped her change her clothes.

This also relieved Tadokoro Megumi.

If this continued, she felt like she couldn't leave the hotel all day.

By 10 a.m., there were hardly any people left in the hotel. The front desk staff were unusually relaxed, only putting down their phones when Bai Yuan and his group arrived.

"How can I help you?"

"Check out of room 301".

After a quick check-out, Baiyuan left the hotel with Tadokoro Megumi.

"Should we go straight to the stalls now?"

Standing on the wide street, Tadokoro Megumi voiced her doubts. If it were her, the first thing she would do after getting up would be to go and check on the situation.

But with Bai Yuan by her side, out of respect and trust for him, she decided to ask him first.

"No, let's go to the stall's specialty store now."

Because of the world's thriving food culture, there are several places in Tokyo that specialize in selling standardized food stalls and also offer recycling services.

"A stall-only store?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, a hint of doubt appeared in Tadokoro Megumi's eyes.

Because she had been living in the far moon for many years, she was unaware of the developments in the outside world, and was filled with confusion and bewilderment about this shop that specialized in selling stalls.

Shouldn't stalls be custom-made at hardware stores? Why are there shops selling stalls? This feels a bit strange...

"What's there to doubt? Where there's a market, there's business. Merchants are profit-driven. With more people setting up stalls, there will naturally be shops that sell stall space, making it convenient for others while also earning money."

After giving Tadokoro Megumi a brief explanation, Shiro walked towards the stall's sales area.

He guessed that Tadokoro Megumi hadn't read yesterday's email carefully, as it contained detailed information about the stall's address.

These are the results of an investigation into the world of "dark cuisine," intended to alleviate student stress.

Of course, carelessness doesn't qualify for this treatment.

Since it was an assessment, Bai Yuan naturally wouldn't specifically remind those who were careless.

After all, carelessness is an unforgivable mistake when it comes to cooking.

"I see. But I haven't decided what dishes to sell next yet. Why don't we go to the market and take a look?"

Yoshino Yuuki discovered the potential of stinky tofu at a food street yesterday.

With Ryoko Sakaki by her side, she should be able to find what she wants to sell quickly.

She was the only one who didn't know where to begin.

"It's okay, let's buy a stall first, and then decide what kind of dishes to cook based on the actual function of the stall."

Shirobuchi shook his head at Tadokoro Megumi's suggestion.

Instead of going to the market and buying a bunch of ingredients that you don't know where to put, it's better to buy the stall first.

After purchasing the stall, decide what dish to make based on its existing functions, rather than deciding what dish to make first and then choosing the stall.

The difference between the two is very large. After purchasing ingredients, the former is prone to stalls that are not fully functional.

With a mobile stall, the latter has basic functional references and knows what kind of dishes they want to make, making it easier to select ingredients.

"Then let's go buy a mobile stall first."

Hearing Bai Yuan's advice, Tadokoro Megumi nodded slightly and decided to listen to him.

After all, Bai Yuan is far more experienced in business than she is, so listening to him is always the right thing to do.

Twenty minutes later, Shirabuchi and Tadokoro Megumi arrived at the sales stall.

"What would you two like to order?"

We have all kinds of stalls here, from small to medium-sized stalls suitable for individuals to large stalls suitable for groups of people working together.

As soon as the two appeared at the stall entrance, the shop owner came out, rubbing his hands together and looking them over with excitement in his eyes.

For some reason, today, stalls that usually sell only one or two items a day suddenly became very popular.

This morning alone, more than a dozen people came and bought a lot of his old, worn-out goods regardless of the price, and they were also willing to spend a lot of money on brand new products.

He made a fortune from this, and then used his persuasive skills to purchase a large number of different stalls from the manufacturers who made them.

Now his shop has more than thirty different kinds of mobile stalls.

Chapter 337 Tadokoro Megumi's Choice and Strategy

"You can choose from the mobile stalls here, and the prices vary slightly. The prices are all marked on the stalls."

Please understand that this is a small business and we cannot negotiate prices.

The shop owner led Shirabumi and Tadokoro Megumi into the shop, and as they looked at the various mobile stalls in front of them, he spoke to them.

In the past, even if customers came here and bargained hard, he would accept it as long as they didn't cross his bottom line.

But now, for some reason, the stall's business has exploded. It's already good enough that he hasn't raised the prices, so naturally he won't accept customers' bargaining anymore.

Take it or leave it; the next customer will be even more generous!

"Okay, let's explore on our own from now on. You don't need to follow us around."

Bai Yuan glanced at the shop manager who was always by his side and stopped. With such a person constantly following and interfering, they wouldn't be able to test the performance of the stall.

"Okay, as long as it doesn't affect resale, you two are welcome to try it out."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, the shop owner was taken aback at first, but then, realizing that everyone's needs were different, he nodded in agreement.

Normal trial use is allowed as long as it does not damage the store's goods. After all, how can you know if a stall is suitable for you if you don't try it out?

On the other side, after receiving permission, Bai Yuan quickly stepped forward and, looking at the various mobile stalls on both sides of the shop, couldn't resist going up to try them out.

Seeing more of it is not as good as experiencing its functions firsthand.

After all, we'll be partners for the next two weeks, so it wouldn't be right to buy it without trying it out first.

"Go and see for yourself. After all, this is your cooking, so I can't give you too much advice."

After operating the equipment at the stall for a short while, Bai Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of these high-tech devices, and then looked at Tadokoro Megumi not far away.

"it is good."

Knowing that this was her reliance for the next two weeks, Tadokoro Megumi dared not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to operate the experiment.

For these mobile stalls, the most important things to consider are how many meals they can serve at once, their heat output, and their sustainability.

This is because it directly affects the efficiency of food preparation.

Bai Yuan watched quietly from behind, then walked to a rest area inside the shop and sat down, crossing his legs as he waited for the other party to make their choice.

About thirty minutes later, Tadokoro Megumi walked back and forth for a while before finally stopping: "I think I know what to sell for the field training."

Of the many mobile stalls, Tadokoro Megumi focused on trying three, or more accurately, three types, before speaking to Shirabuchi who was sitting next to her.

"Tell me about it."

"These stalls are mainly divided into three categories: deep-frying, grilling, and wok cooking."

Regardless of how many extended functions there are, the essence revolves around these few points, so you only need to choose from these three types of dishes.

Stepping forward and sitting down next to Shirayuki, Tadokoro Megumi explained the three main types of food stalls.

Of course, there are also some niche snacks, but because of low demand, the shops don't have much stock, so you need to set up your own stall.

"Stir-fry dishes are further divided into hot dishes such as fried rice, fried noodles, and fried rice noodles. Customers usually only choose these during mealtimes, and the prices are fixed and difficult to change."

While there is a wide variety of barbecue dishes to choose from, the smoky atmosphere makes them more suitable for indoor operation.

Setting up a stall on the street is possible, but it can easily impact the surrounding environment and hinder other people's business.

Megumi Tadokoro is a gentle person. She doesn't want others to suffer business setbacks or even be eliminated because of her cooking.

So she never considered the barbecue option from the beginning.

"In that case, all that's left is fried food."

"That's right, I'm going to make tempura, the most distinctive fried dish in Japan."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Tadokoro Megumi nodded slightly and then shared her thoughts.

During the Summer Selection, she defeated Liu Yu with a dish of mudfish tempura, and that experience gave her some inspiration.

"Tempura is too common in Japan. Trying to dominate the market with this dish is like trying to challenge all Chinese cuisines with fried rice."

It's not that it's impossible, but it's significantly more difficult than others. Even so, are you still going to make tempura, given an easier option?

For some reason, Shiro suddenly posed this question, causing Tadokoro Megumi to fall into a brief moment of thought, but she quickly looked up.

"Isn't it the difficulty that makes it challenging? Besides, tempura can fry anything, which in a sense also brings out my strengths."

Tadokoro Megumi's gaze became exceptionally firm. Difficulty was not a problem for her; the key was to leverage her strengths.

"It's good that you can understand this."

Upon hearing Tadokoro Megumi's words, Shirobuchi's tense expression immediately relaxed, and he nodded in agreement.

He had only said so much to test her, and now that he had received a satisfactory answer, he couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.

"So that was a test?"

Having grasped the hidden meaning in Bai Yuan's words, Tadokoro Megumi pouted and made a sarcastic remark.

"In a sense, it's also a test to see if you have the ability to judge what I say, which is very important for your future growth."

Seeing that Tadokoro Megumi was a little annoyed, Bai Yuan patted her head and explained his purpose.

"Then let's buy that stall. There's a huge rectangular fryer in the center, which can easily fry enough tempura for a dozen people at the same time."

Seeing Bai Yuan's open and honest demeanor, Tadokoro Megumi understood his good intentions and said nothing more, turning her gaze to the silver-white mobile stall not far away.

The square oil tank in the center uses an aerospace-grade titanium alloy inner liner with a nano-ceramic coating, which is not only resistant to high temperatures and non-stick, but also easy to clean.

For mobile stalls, this is undoubtedly the biggest advantage.
