Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

The Yokai Sage's opinion is exactly the same as Shuko's.

Listening to the customers' comments, Zhou Guang mixed the melted gum while thinking about his next move.

"What exactly is Mr. Zhou Guang going to do?"

Tengu asked curiously.

Zhou Guang thought about it and made a decision

"Let's make some 'Sakura Jelly' first and try it."

“I haven’t heard of it.”

"Just think of it as pudding."

After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he turned around and started looking for spices in the kitchen cabinet.

Soon he brought out fresh lemon zest and a little rose water.

They can add a refreshing sweet and sour flavor and a romantic touch to the dessert of 'Sakura Jelly'.

“This dish is very simple.”

Marisa felt that the steps were not as complicated as when she made carbonated drinks before.

"It doesn't have to be complicated. For example, for a plate of fried rice, the cooking time, the ratio of ingredients, and the amount of side dishes will all affect the overall taste."

"Why does the science of cooking seem to be more complicated than magic..."

Marisa said this and scratched her head.

After seeing this, Usami Sumireko also asked a question

"What do those spices do?"

“The fragrance of lemon peel can enhance the overall layering, while rose water gives this dessert a dreamy atmosphere. It can be regarded as an ‘artistic processing of cuisine’.”

After finishing the explanation, Zhou Guang took out white jelly as a coagulant and carefully adjusted the proportion to ensure that the final taste was both smooth and elastic.

Finally, in order to increase the taste layer, Zhouguang added a small amount of honey to make the sweetness more rounded and not greasy.

“This step is crucial because it determines the texture of the finished product.”

At the same time, in order to increase the visual appeal, Zhou Guang also cleverly used some edible gold foil, which is a method used before.

Sprinkle them lightly on the surface of the dessert that is about to solidify, making the whole dish shine with golden light like a work of art.

When the dessert is completely cooled and set, Zhou Guang carefully removes it from the mold and places it on a beautiful plate.

"Ms. Yakumo, maybe you could come and taste it?"

Yakumo Yukari's eyes fell on the 'Sakura Jelly'.

It is like a piece of cherry pudding with golden spots on the surface, and it also has the fragrance of lemon and rose.

Yakumo Yukari looked at the dessert carefully, then took a light bite.

There was a glimmer of surprise in the eyes of the Yokai Sage.

"It tastes sweet."

Because of the perfect ratio, the cherry gum is perfectly integrated into the mixture without overshadowing it.

So Zhou Guang followed this process and made the remaining thousand-year-old cherry tree gum into "Sakura Jelly" and gave it to Yakumo Yukari.

"I think Youyouzi will like it."

Yakumo Yukari opened the gap and smiled at Zhou Guang.

"As for the reward... I'll double it the next time I come here for a drink~"

After saying that, the Yokai Sage of Gensokyo disappeared into the restaurant with the snacks.

Zhou Guang then wrote down Yakumo Yukari's name on the list of regular customers, waiting for the next visit of the gap monster...

Chapter 52: A god came to buy melons, her name was... Yasaka Kanako (please collect flowers!)

After seeing off Yakumo Yukari, the girls from Gensokyo who were staying in the restaurant also left one after another.

Zhou Guang, who was completely free, also began to clean up the kitchen utensils used to make the "Sakura Jelly" just now.

Cleaning, wiping and storing, Zhou Guang couldn't help but feel curious during the process.

That is why Yuyuko Saigyouji, who lives in the White Jade Tower in the underworld, chooses to ask Yakumo Yukari to cook for her?

If I remember correctly, the half-human, half-spiritual gardener, Konpaku Youmu, also has good skills. Even she can't handle the gum of the thousand-year-old cherry tree?

If there is a chance, I would let Yakumo Yukari take me to the underworld for a tour.

He really wanted to know what delicious food Konpaku Youmu usually made for the foodie lady of Baiyulou...

By the time Zhou Guang finished thinking, the work at hand was also completed.

Kobayashi Ryoudou and Nakiri Erina might come today.

However, before that, a visitor appeared, which surprised Zhou Guang a little.

The other party is related to a topic mentioned by Tengu reporter Yameimaru Fumi -

That is 'Moriya Shrine'.

Zhou Guang looked towards the door. Outside the open door stood a tall and beautiful woman with a dignified appearance, a raised smile, and a straightforward and generous look.

To put it simply, it's the feeling of a 'cool big sister next door'.

She has shoulder-length purple hair tied with a shimenawa and decorated with flowers.

The upper body is a bright red short-sleeved shirt that looks like the color of the sunset, and the cuffs are also fastened with shimenawa-style ropes.

Wearing straw sandals, she looked a bit like a god of pleasure walking in the world as described in mythology, and was looking at the restaurant opened by Zhou Guang with great interest.

Finally her eyes fell on Zhou Guang.

The footsteps sounded again.

The majestic visitor, who looked like a big sister, walked up to Zhou Guang.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course. I heard from Reimu that the deity of the Youkai Mountain 'Moriya Shrine' is Yasaka Kanako."

"You are so brave to call the Lord God by his name."

"Everyone is a guest, and we will not treat them specially. Miss Yasaka is naturally included in this. So... may I ask what is the purpose of your visit?"

Zhou Guang used a serious tone.

Yasaka Kanako sat down and looked around.

"Your place seems a little deserted, no other guests?"

"A group of guests just left. I believe there will be new visitors soon."

Zhou Guang changed the subject and asked with a smile

"How is the situation at Moriya Shrine?"

The situation at the Moriya Shrine where Yasaka Kanako was located was not optimistic, so the shrine was moved directly to Gensokyo.

Although most gods travel freely between Gensokyo and the outside world, she moved her base to Gensokyo, seemingly wanting to lock her believers on the humans and monsters in Gensokyo and thereby gather firm faith.

It was precisely because of this that she was targeted by the Red and White Miko, and was eventually "defeated" along with Suwako Shishiya and Sanae Tofudani.

"The shrine is in pretty good condition. At least the monsters in Youkai Mountain are very pious."

Because I can't beat it...

Just like dealing with Reimu.

If the monsters could truly defeat Reimu, Human Village would have already become their territory...

"During this period, there are still activities being held, which has attracted some people to come to the shrine to worship. In addition to these, a cable car is also being built to lead to the 'Moriya Shrine', and funds are being raised slowly. However, I don't know much about this, so I won't comment on it."

Yasaka Kanako described the current situation.

Unlike the Hakurei Shrine managed by Reimu, the business activities run by Moriya Shrine are indeed very rich.

As long as they can attract believers and gain their faith, they will consider any approach.

"We need to use modern technology... Can Miss Yasaka accept this?"

"Of course, why not use something that's convenient?"

It can be seen that Kanako Yasaka likes technological innovation and has no intention of sticking to tradition.

Maybe this is the god of the new era...

Keep up with social progress and use methods that young people like to attract customers.

Zhou Guang remembered that he had seen related news before coming to Gensokyo.

The temples in Japan have attracted many young people to worship by providing cyber means such as online donations and drone shows, coupled with the reception of temple maids.

Even the abbots of temples would broadcast live, chanting sutras online and praying for the dead remotely...

Zhou Guang also heard that the host is good at guitar and is quite versatile.

Ending the memories of the past, Zhou Guang handed over a menu.

"I wonder if Miss Yasaka would like to eat anything during your visit? If your favorite dish is not on the menu, you can place a custom order."

"Cooking... I actually came here to buy watermelons. Sanae said she wanted to make watermelon juice for the customers."

"..."

A god came to buy melons, not to eat.

Although Zhouguang has prepared fruits, and the store’s refrigerator is very special and can always keep them fresh, it has no plans to sell them.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yasaka, but this is not a store, so we don't sell fruit."

"That's okay... I can talk to you about other things."

Yasaka Kanako changed the subject.

Perhaps he planned to continue to look for Zhou Guang for the reason of "buying melons".

"Please say……"

"It's about that girl Sanae, you..."

Yasaka Kanako suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

She shifted her gaze and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Can I sit up there?"

"What a sudden request..."

"It's troublesome."

"..."

Zhou Guang, who was entrusted by the god, finally nodded.

What on earth is the god of this Moriya Shrine here for?

With such doubts, Zhou Guang looked outside the store.

"Forehead……"

The second god of Moriya Shrine is standing just outside the window...

Chapter 53: A god came to propose marriage, her name is... Xieya Suwako (please collect flowers!)

???

Yeah?

How come the two gods from the Moriya Shrine came running over one after the other?

Zhou Guang watched the door slowly open with such doubts.

The sunlight near noon shone in from the door, and under the golden light, the shadow of the petite god fell on the restaurant floor.
