The strongest anime shop owner

"I don't really know how to explain this. I can only say that you'll be pleasantly surprised after eating it." The dish "White Dragon Playing with a Pearl" is really hard to explain. The other dishes are easy to explain, but the "treasure meat" is really hard to explain. Even if you explain it, no one will believe you. Moreover, explaining the treasure meat is really disgusting. So Su Luo smiled mysteriously and said that she didn't explain anything.

After hearing Su Luo's words, everyone rolled their eyes and were speechless. Seriously, boss, you even know how to describe the dishes you make? Isn't that a bit too much? Also, is it really okay to be so stiff in your pitching, with all these promises of surprises?

"How about it? Want one? It'll definitely be a great value for you." To complete the task, Su Luo felt it was necessary to emphasize this again.

"Since you've said so, boss, then..." Ning Hai said, under Su Luo's expectant gaze, "Then forget it. It's too expensive for me. Even though I can assure you that your dishes are of high quality."

Ning Hai is indeed very wealthy, but not to the point of spending 100,000 yuan on a single dish. Although he really wanted to know what this dish would taste like, given its exorbitant price, at least Su Luo's dishes have never disappointed.

Seeing that no one ordered, Su Luo was a little disappointed. Even this rich guy wasn't coming to eat. Selling only three servings a month was really a big problem.

In the short time it took for the group to chat, people started arriving from outside. In just a few breaths, dozens more people had arrived, indicating that Su Luo's food was very popular.

"Boss, you're finally open! Please don't be so capricious next time you ask for leave. You just take leave whenever you want, making us come here for nothing every time. Do you know how disappointed we are?"

"I think if you keep doing this, boss, you should compensate us."

"Yes, that's right."

"···"

Before long, the shop became lively, filled with laughter and chatter.

"Compensation, right? The shop launched new dishes today, so consider it compensation, especially this White Dragon Playing with a Pearl, which I prepared carefully." Su Luo said to everyone with some enthusiasm.

"Hold the grass!"

Upon hearing that Su Luo had introduced a new dish, everyone looked at the menu on the wall. The focus was naturally on the "White Dragon Playing with a Pearl" that Su Luo had mentioned. When they saw it, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. At this price, was it really for human consumption? Moreover, most of them were just ordinary people. Even other dishes were already a bit pricey for some of them, and this dish cost 100,000 yuan. Wouldn't that kill them?

"Boss, are you sure you didn't write the price wrong? For example, is it not in RMB, or is there an extra zero or something?"

Many people rubbed their eyes, genuinely finding it hard to believe. After just one glance, they gave up without even thinking about it; at this price, they simply couldn't afford it.

"No, this is the price." Su Luo said without any change in expression.

Okay, this really makes it a rip-off. The price is outrageous.

"How about it, do you guys want one?" Su Luo asked the group with a slightly expectant expression.

"Ahem, boss, I'll pass."

"Boss, are you planning to turn this into a shady business?"

"Never mind, boss, just give me a steamed bun."

"···"

Well, no one ordered it, and Su Luo was somewhat disappointed. At the same time, seeing this situation, she knew that it would be difficult to sell such dishes. She really didn't know how they could sell three servings a month. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

"Alright, it's about time now, let's begin." Despite some disappointment, business still needs to be done, so Su Luo checked the time and addressed the group.

"Boss, I'll try the Golden Fried Rice first." Ning Hai always orders new dishes, but the White Dragon Playing with a Pearl is an exception. He really can't afford it, so he ordered the newly launched Golden Fried Rice instead.

"Sister Hai, aren't you afraid of it being greasy to eat fried rice so early in the morning?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but say when he saw Ning Hai had ordered golden fried rice.

"You brat, didn't I tell you not to call me Sister Hai? Don't you have any manners? And what's wrong with me ordering golden fried rice? Didn't you order flaming dumplings before? What right do you have to talk to me like that?" Ning Hai rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

"Ahem." Zhang Yang coughed a few times, looked around, seemingly lost in thought, as if he hadn't heard anything at all. Then he spoke to Su Luo in a serious tone, as if he hadn't been the one talking to Ning Hai earlier: "Boss, just like I said before, one Kung Fu steamed bun, one Flaming Dumpling, and finally, one Colorful Flower Sea Noodles."

Chapter 410 Golden Fried Rice

Zhang Yang used to be very careful when he came here to eat. He didn't have much money. After eating here a few times, he could only eat instant noodles from now on.

But now it's different. He brought people with him, so he ate to his heart's content, especially the Seven-Color Flower Ramen, which he had never tried before. He still vividly remembered the taste of the tonkotsu ramen he had last time, and he also knew that the food from Food Wars! was always of the highest quality. With this in mind, he naturally ordered dishes he had never tried before.

As for the golden fried rice, he really wanted to order it, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish it and would be bad if he got blacklisted. Besides, he hadn't seen it before, so he could only order it next time. To be honest, the food at Su Luo's shop was just too tempting for him, it was like he was addicted.

"Give me a plate of golden fried rice too." Looking at the people's expressions, Zhang Mei knew that this restaurant must have something special about it. After thinking for a moment, she finally ordered a plate of golden fried rice.

Perhaps out of curiosity, a plate of fried rice costs 200 yuan. In some high-end hotels, it's really not much, but here, I wonder what's different.

"Okay." Su Luo nodded, then seemed to remember something. He was a man with a mission. Although the system didn't say what would happen if the mission failed, given the system's nature, it wouldn't even consider it. So, if possible, he should try his best to complete it.

However, despite thinking this way, the thought of this ridiculous task—selling three portions of White Dragon Playing with a Pearl within a month—made her feel a headache coming on. At this price, in this kind of place, were you really sure you could sell them all? Su Luo had deep doubts.

Regardless, Su Luo felt she should do her best. She had been preparing to cook, but then she hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Ning Hai and said, "Sister Hai, are you sure you don't want another 'White Dragon Playing with a Pearl'?"

Hearing Su Luo's sudden question, Ning Hai looked at Su Luo in surprise.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" Seeing Ning Hai staring at her, Su Luo felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just want to ask one question: Boss, do you have a twin brother?" Ning Hai asked seriously.

"No."

Su Luo paused for a moment, then almost instinctively said.

"No, you definitely have one. Today you must be an imposter of Boss Su Luo, otherwise why would you suddenly change your tune and start promoting dishes to people?" Ning Hai put away his playful smile and looked very serious, as if to say, "I've seen right through you."

"What the hell." Hearing this, Su Luo rolled her eyes speechlessly, inwardly complaining.

I initially thought it was something important, but the way they spoke so seriously left me speechless.

"You're overthinking it. I was just recommending some dishes, why are you making such a fuss?" Su Luo said, "Take it or leave it."

"Of course I'll buy it, but not now. I need to find someone to test the poison first before I can decide." To be honest, Ning Hai could afford such an expensive dish, but spending 100,000 yuan on a dish whose quality he didn't even know was beyond his reach, even though he believed the dish was indeed worth the price.

"Alright then." Since the other party had said so, Su Luo naturally wouldn't force the issue.

Moreover, he also knew that spending 100,000 yuan on a dish for which he knew nothing was something he wouldn't have done, even for a few thousand yuan, given his previous personality.

Another point is that Su Luo never expected anyone to order this dish, unless some idiot or something.

"Don't worry, the person who will test the poison will be here soon." Su Luo's face was expressionless, but Ning Hai still said the same thing.

Su Luo seemed not to hear her and began to move her hands.

"Honestly, boss, you should add some drinks here. Even though all the dishes here are delicious and don't make you feel thirsty, it just feels weird not having anything to drink." Ning Hai, who was a chatterbox, watched Su Luo start working. Even if Su Luo didn't reply, he could still talk to himself. Although he was talking to Su Luo, it looked like he was talking to himself.

For dishes she was already familiar with, Su Luo could cook them very quickly. In no time, five identical flame dumplings were born from her hands.

After putting the flaming dumplings into the pot, the other side also started to work. The colorful flower sea noodles were prepared in advance, so they didn't need much preparation. They just needed to be rinsed in boiling water and then the soup base was poured on them. Next was the golden fried rice, starting with preparing the egg mixture.

The eggs used to make the fried rice are not ordinary; they are green-shelled eggs. As for what kind of eggs the system provides, I don't know, but at least on the market, the best green-shelled eggs are made from chickens raised with high-quality green protein, so the value of the eggs is naturally very high. One egg can reportedly sell for more than ten yuan and contains rich nutrition.

Su Luo picked up an egg, cracked it, and poured the egg liquid into a bowl. The egg liquid was not yellow, but had a slightly yellow tinge. The yolk was not a normal yellow either, but an orange-like color. It looked very solid, like a gemstone, and was very beautiful.

Next was the rice. Su Luo ate two bowls and saw that each grain of rice was very plump, unlike the rice sold in rice mills, which were either missing germ or something else, not to mention the uneven size.

The rice in the bowl was perfectly plump and round, all the same size, and each grain was roughly the same amount of dryness. It was clear that it had been specially prepared for making fried rice.

Although the rice was very dry and not hot, you could still smell its aroma from a distance.

It looked like she was handling several dishes at the same time, but Su Luo's hands were perfectly at ease, as if everything was under her control. It was a very pleasing sight to behold.

Before long, the aroma from the pot began to fill the air, and it was incredibly tempting. Even Zhang Mei, who considered herself to have eaten many high-end foods, couldn't help but swallow hard, and at the same time, she became even more certain that the owner of this restaurant was a master.

As Su Luo began making the dish, a long queue had formed in front of the shop before anyone knew it, making it look incredibly popular.

"Boss, don't you put scallions in this fried rice?" Su Luo asked, having already ladled the fried rice onto a plate.

They witnessed the entire process of Su Luo making the golden fried rice, and they never saw Su Luo add anything extra to the fried rice. It was just eggs and eggs, which was practically real fried rice.

Although Su Luo's fried rice was very beautiful, people were still a little surprised by the fact that there were no extra ingredients in the fried rice, so they asked this question almost subconsciously.

"I won't let go." Su Luo didn't say much, her words were very concise.

After receiving Su Luo's affirmative answer, the group realized that this was what the golden fried rice looked like.

"Boss, is this really how you make this dish?" Compared to Ning Hai, who already believed in Su Luo's abilities, Zhang Mei, who was eating here for the first time, still found the fried rice quite strange and asked again with some disbelief.

"Okay." Su Luo nodded and continued with her work.

While Su Luo was busy, many of the customers noticed that there were several new dishes on the wall. Of course, they were fine when they saw the Golden Fried Rice, since most of them were regular customers and the price was normal. However, when they saw the price of the White Dragon Playing with a Pearl, their eyes widened in disbelief. They thought they were seeing things and rubbed their eyes several times, but it was still the same.

Regarding the price of the White Dragon Playing with a Pearl, many people asked Su Luo if the price was marked incorrectly, but Su Luo's answer was no.

This surprised many people. Although most of the people who come here to eat are not very wealthy, there are still many rich people among them. However, even the rich people were somewhat deterred after seeing the price.

You know, that's 100,000 yuan! Some people don't even earn that much in a year. How could they possibly be willing to spend that money, unless they have so much money they don't know what to do with it?

"Honestly, boss, you should hire a waiter or something. Your business is so good, it doesn't seem like you're short of money."

"We'll see."

It wasn't that Su Luo didn't want to, but the system had limitations, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to do things like washing dishes or cleaning the floor, otherwise he would be exhausted.

Zhang Mei took the plate, placed it on the table, and examined it carefully. She hadn't been able to see it clearly before because it had just come out of the oven, but now the entire appearance of this golden fried rice was displayed in front of her.

The plate was a very ordinary white porcelain plate, with rice piled in the middle in a cone shape. Each grain of rice was golden yellow, looking like gold, and shone brightly in the light.

Each grain of rice is distinct and golden in color, with no trace of egg liquid visible. It looks like a work of art, with simple colors but indescribable beauty.

Zhang Mei never imagined that anyone in the world could make fried rice to this extent. It was simply unbelievable. Just considering the fried rice, it was impossible for the egg liquid to coat the rice grains evenly, with no egg liquid visible, and it even had a golden sheen.

There wasn't a trace of egg liquid in the dish, but it smelled wonderfully of eggs and rice. It was a very pure aroma, and although it was incredibly simple, it was exceptionally tempting. Zhang Mei couldn't help but swallow hard. The fried rice in front of her didn't seem like fried rice at all, even though it was definitely not an ordinary fried rice.

Without holding on for even a second, Zhang Mei picked up the porcelain spoon, scooped up a mouthful of fried rice that was plump and golden, like caviar, put the rice in her mouth, and immediately the aroma of eggs filled her mouth.

With each gentle chew, the grains of rice are springy and chewy, releasing a rich aroma that blends with the fragrance of eggs, creating a flavor that defies description.

Once she started eating, Zhang Mei couldn't stop. It was like she was addicted to food. She kept eating, her face showing an extremely satisfied expression. All restraint and elegance were meaningless in the face of delicious food.

After taking the first bite, Zhang Mei was completely captivated by this delicious dish.

Seeing Zhang Mei's expression, Zhang Yang secretly smiled. It turns out his mother could be like this sometimes. With that, he brought his food to the table and began to enjoy it slowly.

After this incident, Zhang Mei made a decision to increase Zhang Yang's living expenses. In her words, she couldn't let him suffer. Zhang Yang really hadn't expected this outcome; it was a pleasant surprise. At least he wouldn't have to suffer every day because he couldn't eat the delicious food Su Luo made. This made him extremely happy.

While Su Luo was busy with her work, in another city, in a very luxurious villa, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties was sitting on the sofa. He vaguely resembled Su Luo's current body. His face was expressionless, giving people a very serious feeling, and there was a sense of oppression.

"Uncle Fu, how did things go?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at the person in front of him.

“Young Master has indeed been found, but…” In front of the middle-aged man was an old man dressed in armor, who looked like a martial artist, but also like a steward.

Facing the middle-aged man, Uncle Fu paused, somewhat hesitant, as he spoke.

"But what?" The middle-aged man exuded an aura that could not be refused. To be honest, it wasn't that he was indifferent to his wife and son, but he couldn't find them for the time being. Another reason was the various things in the family, his father's obstruction, the struggle between his brothers, and so on. Therefore, under all these circumstances, he only had time to deal with this matter after he had barely taken control of the family.

And this middle-aged man was none other than Su Jinhai, the biological father of Su Luo's current body.
