Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Erina Nakiri nodded slightly.

"Is it just the three of us?"

Hojo Miyoko looked left and right, and after confirming that it was just the three of them who were going, she showed an expression of being flattered.

"That's right, the two of you are enough."

Bai Yuan washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Erina Nakiri and Miyoko Hojo, standing beside her, exchanged a glance and quickened their pace to catch up.

The three of them soon left the villa, crossed a small stretch of beach, and then crossed two roads before finally seeing a snack shop.

"This store is doing good business; there's such a long queue."

Looking at the snack store in front of him, Bai Yuan was surprised. There were three long queues of customers in the store, and many others were shopping inside.

"It's really surprising that a snack shop can be so popular. But for some reason, the shop's name seems so familiar..."

Seeing the bustling scene in the snack shop, Erina Nakiri also showed a surprised expression, then her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Because she felt inexplicably familiar with this store.

Sugar horn.

Has she ever patronized a similar store?

Or is this a store under their Nakiri Group? After all, her second grandfather really likes to tinker with these chain stores, and most of the food-related businesses are theirs.

Furthermore, 30% of the Nakiri family's business was built by her second grandfather, who of course used the Nakiri family's resources extensively and received considerable benefits in return.

"It must be because of the anniversary sale. It says there's a 6.8% discount for purchases made during these three days."

Miyoko Hojo pointed to the text below the shop and said, "If it weren't for that, this shop wouldn't be doing so well."

"If it's a discount, then it makes sense."

Looking at the large number of customers and the discount tags at the store entrance, Erina Nakiri clenched her fist and clapped her hands, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"Forget about all that nonsense, let's go in and pick out our favorite snacks."

Seeing the two people standing at the door discussing, Bai Yuan couldn't help but urge them on.

The line in front of us is very long, and we don’t know how long it will take for them to queue up after they finish buying their things, so it’s better to hurry if possible.

While waiting in line to chat.

Wow! This cookie looks so delicious! They say it'll burst with filling, like milk filling!

"Let's buy a box of chocolate bars."

Faced with the dazzling array of goods in the store, Erina Nakiri was momentarily overwhelmed by the choices and finally opted for a standard chocolate bar.

As for the other snacks, she just bought a few bags at random and then lost interest.

As the heir to the Nakiri family, she has tasted all kinds of cuisine, so she naturally wouldn't be greedy when it comes to snacks.

And what about Bai Yuan?

He would grab any product that looked delicious, figuring it was just a taste anyway, and even if it turned out bad, he could just throw it away.

"That's about it. Please carry the drinks for me. You guys take the snacks and other lighter items. We'll settle the bill together later."

Having bought enough snacks for about ten people, Bai Yuan carried two large baskets of drinks and started queuing in one of the three lines.

The queue was crowded with shelves on both sides. In front of the three people was a woman in her forties with three children. In front of the woman was a young woman in her early twenties.

She placed the basket on the ground in the queue, and moved around the store like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

"Can we do it this way? Put the basket on the ground in advance, and you can get what you need while queuing, which will save you queuing time."

"After all, the line is so long, and some people don't have any friends around, but they want to get home as soon as possible, so it's quite normal for them to do this."

Bai Yuan was playing on his phone when he heard Hojo Miyoko's comment and casually offered an explanation.

"It feels like a lack of manners. If everyone did that, wouldn't it be chaos?"

And with the team moving forward, this basket is still here, doesn't that mean it's taking up a spot in the team? No one else is obligated to help her move forward... It's subtly annoying.

Looking at the long line in front of her, which was empty of baskets, it wasn't just the woman in her early twenties; the man in front of her was also in the same situation.

The two people's baskets were positioned across the middle of the line, with a distance of several meters between them.

I don't know who copied whom.

However, one thing is certain: they are definitely not together.

“We’re standing behind this lady. If she moves forward, we move forward; if she doesn’t move forward, we stay put… It seems she already has the answer.”

As they spoke, the older woman in front of them no longer hesitated, stepped over the basket, and joined the end of the line. Bai Yuan and the others followed suit.

A few minutes later, the line moved forward a few spaces. The man who had left earlier returned to his basket. Seeing that his line had been cut off, he immediately picked up his basket, ran to the front, and cut in.

The woman who had been cut in line frowned, her lips trembled slightly, and she glanced at the child beside her before saying nothing.

"I've really learned something new and broadened my horizons today."

Looking at the scene before her, Hojo Miyoko couldn't help but sigh, but adhering to the principle of "it's better to avoid trouble," she didn't say anything.

And just then.

Another pretty twenty-year-old girl returned, and seeing that her basket had been left behind in the line, she momentarily looked helpless.

However, because she was rather timid, she chose to start queuing from the middle to avoid conflict with others.

"It seems that girl is more civilized. At least she knows that even if someone isn't there, the goods shouldn't be queued. Otherwise, this line would really be in chaos."

Because she found this interesting, Hojo Miyoko kept observing and then noticed the difference between the two people in front and behind her.

So he started ranting and raving at Bai Yuan.

The matter should have ended there.

"Weren't you standing behind me? How did you end up so far back?"

But when the woman didn't come up, the man in front felt a little guilty about what he had done, so he greeted her a couple of times and then came up to Bai Yuan.

"Hey handsome, you cut in line with this beautiful lady. She was standing right behind me."

The man's face held a hint of ingratiation, but as soon as he spoke, he defined the nature of the matter, arguing that Bai Yuan and the others had cut in line.

"We were queuing up behind this lady, and the whole line was moving forward normally."

You immediately accused me of cutting in line, putting me on a moral high ground. What are your true intentions?

Looking at the humble-looking man in front of him, who was advocating for the woman, Bai Yuan bluntly exposed the trap in his words, his voice unusually cold.

This guy is really only thinking about himself. Does he think that by being nice to me, I can ignore the trap in his words?

"I... I didn't think that much about it. But it was definitely that beautiful woman standing behind me just now, and what you're doing now is indeed cutting in line."

The man was still unwilling to give up and wanted to pin the blame for cutting in line on Bai Yuan, completely unaware that Bai Yuan's expression had already turned cold.

If the other person doesn't want to wait in line and uses this method to save time, he can praise them for being clever. Even if the woman runs directly in front of him after he comes back, he won't say anything.

After all, these kinds of things are hard to explain clearly.

He didn't bother arguing about such things.

But now, the situation is somewhat different.

Chapter 369 Sorry, having money is all that matters!

"First of all, you've been away from here for quite a while. If everyone acted like you, would there be any point in forming this queue?"

Hojo Miyoko saw everything that was happening and naturally knew who was right and who was wrong.

Seeing that the man was becoming aggressive, she immediately put her hands on her hips and began to rebuke him angrily.

When it comes to temper, she's second to none!

"I've been in the shop the whole time."

Just then, the woman whispered.

She didn't want to wait in line for a long time.

However, she is a cautious and timid person, so she chose to queue up again after seeing that no one was helping her push the basket in. Now that someone is stepping forward, she immediately jumped out.

In any case, it's always good to save a little time.

"No matter what, what you're doing is wrong. To be honest, in all my years, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

Miyoko Hojo continued to attack, showing no sign of giving up her position.

"If that's what you mean, then I came with her. Miss, could you put your things here with me? That would solve the problem, wouldn't it?"

The man's face flushed slightly from Hojo Miyoko's retort, and he felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.

Without much hesitation, he stepped forward and placed the woman's shopping basket on top of his own, observing the shrewdness and triumph on her face.

"If that's how you want it to be, then we have nothing more to say."

Erina Nakiri put down her phone, a confident smile on her face, and stopped Miyoko Hojo, who was about to say something, so that they could line up normally.

Are we just going to let it go like this?

Seeing the men and women queuing normally, Hojo Miyoko felt somewhat resentful.

If the team fight hadn't started, it wouldn't have been a big deal; waiting a little longer or a little less wouldn't have made much of a difference, and she wouldn't have minded. But if the team fight started and she wasn't allowed to deal damage, that would be a bit upsetting.

That's what emotions are like.

Winning an argument makes you feel good, losing an argument makes you feel bad, and then you keep replaying the argument in your mind.

If she goes back today, she'll probably miss it for days.

My precious holiday is probably going to be ruined.

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with them, and I can definitely help you get revenge."

Erina Nakiri smiled mysteriously. Ever since Miyoko Hojo and the man started arguing, she had stopped caring who was right and who was wrong and had taken sides without any reason.

Moreover, they did nothing wrong in the first place. Being placed on a moral high ground and coerced into making a choice is indeed very unpleasant.

Unfortunately, we live in a civilized society now.

Otherwise, there are plenty of ways to make him kneel down and beg for mercy.
