After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"You can tell me about it, if there really is a possibility of solving the problem."

“I think it’s worth a try. I also believe that Mr. Lu must have his own unique judgment.”

Hojo Kazuya spoke quite eloquently.

It sounds like they're giving Lu Xuanyu a lot of face.

In reality, the subtext was that he wouldn't agree if Lu Xuanyu's method didn't work.

So at the same time.

The girls from the other cars gathered around.

He greeted Hojo Kazuya.

Hojo Kazuya responded to each of them.

"My method is actually very simple: 170."

"Like Miyoko, my specialty is Chinese cuisine."

"Mr. Hojo knows my identity as one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki. How about letting Miyoko and me be the head chefs tonight?"

"The two of us are absolutely comparable to four head chefs."

"To avoid the trouble caused to us by the assistants and team members of the three original head chefs during our time as head chefs."

"The family and friends behind me will take care of the kitchen work. The entire kitchen team of Hojo-ro will be run by me and Miyoko for a day."

"Whether they are regular customers or just passing by, Mr. Hojo is responsible for collecting the satisfaction levels of all kinds of customers."

"If we fail in any one of the following areas tonight: revenue, food preparation time, or customer satisfaction."

"Miyoko will immediately apologize to the three head chefs and promise never to interfere with the recipes again."

"If we are fortunate enough to win, all the head chefs will need to actively cooperate in updating and improving the menu, and there can be no complaints."

Lu Xuanyu then revealed his plan.

He attributed the responsibility and the situation to himself and Hojo Miyoko.

Besides potentially impacting one's reputation for a day.

Hojo Lou has almost no downsides.

At the same time, it also allows one to curry favor with the big boss of multiple food groups.

Whether successful or not, it will improve Hojo Kazuya's image in Lu Xuanyu's mind.

It takes almost no time to think; a positive answer can be given.

even so.

Hojo Kazuya still didn't agree immediately, but discussed it with Lu Xuanyu.

We need to go in and make an appointment with the three head chefs before we can reach this agreement.

Lu Xuanyu knew this, of course, because the target of this attack was none other than himself.

It was the three head chefs!

……

five minutes later.

On the first floor of the Hojo Building, at a dining table.

Chef A: "A group of students from Totsuki Academy, are you going to challenge us? This is a Chinese restaurant, not some ordinary eatery."

Chef B: "I admit, your talent is definitely better than ours, but when it comes to Chinese cuisine, tsk tsk tsk, just talking about it on paper is useless!"

Chef C: "Mr. Totsuki Ten Masters, you seem to have been featured in a magazine recently, right? Are you sure you can do the work of the three of us by yourself? Have you even looked at the specifications of Hojo-ro carefully?"

As a restaurant, it is named after a building.

It's easy to imagine just how large the usable area of ​​Hojo Building is.

A large restaurant with three floors!

Excluding banquet halls and private rooms, only the normal daily dining area is considered.

It can accommodate tables of various sizes, for a total of ninety-six tables.

This is why Hojo-ro's kitchen is so busy, requiring so many head chefs.

As a girl, Hojo Miyoko wanted to survive in this environment.

Indeed, one needs exceptional skills to gain a foothold in the market.

This is why the three head chefs remained calm and composed even though they knew Lu Xuanyu and the others came from the Far Moon.

"It seems the three of you are quite confident."

"We can add a condition: if my team and I lose tonight."

"What is the year-end bonus for the three of you? I will personally double it out of my own pocket."

"If we win, the original conditions will remain unchanged. All we need to do is actively cooperate with Chef Miyoko in updating the menu."

"How about it? The three of you, why don't you join in this bet?"

When betting with an older man in society, there's no need to talk about anything related to honor.

Offering the most direct reward is more convincing than anything else.

Chef A: "Double the year-end bonus?"

Chef B: "Are students these days so rich?"

Chef C: "Hey, hey, hey, you can't lie to people! Don't think that just because you're kids you can lie all you want!"

After the three chefs finished their questions, they looked at Hojo Kazuya.

Hojo Kazuya stated definitively:

"I can vouch for the authenticity of this bet."

"If Mr. Lu and my daughter lose, Mr. Lu doesn't need to pay for the prize money; I'll cover it!"

"...".

The three chefs might not believe what the students said.

The promise made by boss Kazuya Hojo will definitely be kept.

Chef A: "Okay, we accept the bet. Hojo-ro will be run by the young people for one night."

Chef B: "By the way, you can also experience just how difficult it is to deal with the number of people dining for dinner."

Chef C: "They really need to be taught a little lesson in society. Running a restaurant is not like playing house in school."

Upon hearing that it was profitable, the three chefs immediately agreed.

"Miyako, since the chefs have already agreed, please lead the way for us."

"I want to familiarize myself with the environment and menu beforehand so I can understand what the signature dishes of Hojo-ro are."

Lu Xuanyu did not waste any more time with these people.

Continuing to talk won't lead to any better outcome.

Only by demonstrating real skill can we silence them completely.

The kitchen and dining room at Hojo-ro are very large.

After all, it needs to accommodate three or four head chefs cooking at the same time, as well as eight to ten assistant chefs responsible for preparing ingredients and providing support.

It is essential to have ample space and a complete range of ingredients.

Lu Xuanyu did not rush to arrange for everyone to take their positions.

Instead, they first took the menu from Hojo-ro and observed its style.

Chinese cuisine has eight major regional styles.

There are also regional sub-cuisines, making the dishes incredibly diverse.

Chinese restaurants typically run by foreigners often combine various cuisines.

I won't emphasize the taste of any particular cuisine, except for... Terunori Kuga of Totsuki Academy.

"It mainly features Sichuan and Shandong cuisine, as well as some typical Chinese home-style dishes."

"It must have been modified to incorporate elements of your Hojo Building style, right?"

"Today, I don't need to use my specialties, Miyoko. I'll just use your modified recipe."

"Besides the recipes you submitted to them, have you privately considered modifying other recipes?"

"Bring it all out, it's time to prove yourself!"

"If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one!"

Lu Xuanyu's words were quite serious, making Hojo Miyoko realize the gravity of the situation.
