Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

"..."

Does it look good?

After a moment's thought, the passionate Old Wang exclaimed without hesitation, "Great!"

"As long as it looks good."

Xu Zhou nodded: "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma is a manga for everyone to read; it's purely for entertainment."

...

Old Wang, still full of enthusiasm, wanted to say something more.

But suddenly his phone vibrated.

Look down.

It was a message sent by someone in the group.

[Jiang Ling'er: How was it? Have you eaten? Was this restaurant good?]

[Mo Yue: That should be alright, right? Old Wang is silent now.]

At this point, the previously resistant Old Wang no longer harbored any aversion to "Food Wars!" Thinking of Xu Zhou's dish, he praised it without hesitation: "Super delicious!"

After sending it, he felt that the adjective was not enough to describe the shock he had just experienced.

He added a few more sentences.

[Hot-blooded Old Wang: I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!]

[Hot-blooded Old Wang: You guys absolutely have to try this! I admit, you're right. Cartoonist Xiao Xu's recipes are really good.]

"..."

what?

The people in other groups were stunned.

When will we accept the recipes from cartoonist XiaoXU?

We've always just thought the female characters are pretty and the plot is interesting!

Good recipes?

Are you kidding me?

Four pounds of Wagyu beef are pan-fried in a pot. Can you even read a recipe with a brain?

...

Regular customers started arriving at the store one after another.

Many people started making noise even before entering the store.

"Boss Xu, why are you opening so early today? You usually open at one o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yeah, that's why we're all late!"

Xu Zhou was both amused and exasperated. After preparing the food, he waited for them to order.

As soon as everyone came in, they couldn't wait to start ordering.

Xu Zhou started working quickly.

"A sukiyaki rice bowl is ready."

"The grilled mackerel is ready."

"Tea-soaked rice? Not today, not tomorrow."

One by one, the customers took their meals and found a seat.

...

The customer, excited to have bought the new vegetables, eagerly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Then I was amazed by the taste of this beef.

"good to eat!"

"This beef is tender and juicy, and the rice underneath is soaked in the aroma of vegetables and the beef fat. It's delicious even just eating plain white rice!"

"This rice with this beef is absolutely amazing! A bite of meat, a bite of rice, and a sip of soup!"

Everyone began to eat heartily with great relish. Xu Zhou felt a sense of satisfaction watching them enjoy their meal.

The new vegetables sold out very quickly today.

Besides the twenty portions that were put on the takeout menu, ten of the remaining thirty portions sold in the store were also sold out immediately.

"not bad."

Xu Zhou was very satisfied.

Just now.

Zhang Wanqiu's voice rang out from the doorway: "Master, I've arrived!"

"Hmm? Someone's here?"

Xu Zhou looked in the direction of the sound.

Zhang Wanqiu was jumping and hopping excitedly at the door, standing in front of me like a child waiting for a teacher's praise.

"Master, I sold out fifty copies yesterday, and they sold out very quickly."

"I earned 1,500 yesterday!"

"I've transferred your 35% back to you!"

...

Xu Zhou glanced at his phone.

Sure enough, I saw the money Zhang Wanqiu had transferred, 525 yuan, and clicked to return it to him.

"Need not."

"You start counting."

"Your steak can be made into larger portions; fifty portions definitely won't be enough."

"Yes, that's because of your dipping sauce, Master! So many people have praised your dipping sauce as delicious!"

Zhang Wanqiu couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that this was the first time he had earned money.

At the same time, I began to feel for the first time...

It seems like the teachers at Songbei Culinary Academy aren't really teaching me properly.

It seems that Teacher Lei Jie just wanted him to memorize the recipe.

But Xu Zhou was the opposite.

He doesn't talk about recipes at all; instead, he explains the underlying principles to him.

...

The people in the store all started eating today's new products.

The shop is too busy to keep up with demand.

Zhang Wanqiu put on an apron and gloves and got to work with great enthusiasm.

Put the bowl in the dishwasher.

Then mop the floor and wipe the table.

They were having a great time.

A person was spinning around in the store like a little top.

Just now.

People from the Culinary Arts Department of Songnan University arrived at the entrance.

Liu Niannian waved to Xu Zhou from the doorway: "Little Boss Xu!"

"we are coming!"

"What's on the menu today?"

Xu Zhou glanced at them: "We have all the main dishes today, and the specialties are grilled mackerel, fried beef steak, and sukiyaki rice bowl."

"There's not much sukiyaki rice left."

...

Upon hearing that there wasn't much sukiyaki rice left, they immediately jogged over to join the queue.

But when I got to the front of the line, I suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice next to me.

"Give."

"..."

When Liu Niannian looked up and saw Zhang Wanqiu, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old and sweeping the floor with a broom, she screamed, "What are you doing here!"

Isn't that the big devil from Songbei University?

Last year's dish left them completely helpless.

They were admitted through special admissions!

Is he here... sweeping the floor for the small business owner?

Chapter 103: Cartoonist Xiao Xu's best skill is her recipes? Are you kidding me?

Xu Zhou naturally knew they knew each other, but he still introduced them: "This is Zhang Wanqiu, you should know him."

"Songbei Academy, I know."

Zhang Ya and Liu Niannian from the Songnan Culinary Department were initially wary, fearing he was there to cause trouble, but when they saw the broom on Zhang Wanqiu's body, they were stunned: "Wait, you're sweeping?"

"Ah."

"..."

"I lost a match against a master, so I'm going to work here for a month."

Zhang Wanqiu paused, then straightened his back and declared, "From now on, I'll be the dishwasher at Yizhou Izakaya!"

His tone was quite proud.

After saying that, he even grinned and said in a very friendly manner, "Where would you like to sit? I'll wipe the table for you."

...

Liu Niannian was stunned.

With that smug grin, you'd never guess he was so arrogant before.

How about this table?

“This table won’t get any sun. Since there are many of you, please sit in one of the two booths here.”

As Zhang Wanqiu spoke, he actively tidied up.

Zhang Ya: "..."

Liu Niannian: "..."

We're not used to you doing this!

Didn't you used to call us all "newbies"?

When Liu Niannian went to order from Xu Zhou, she lowered her voice and asked, "Young Master Xu, this little genius..."

"excuse me."

Zhang Wanqiu, holding a broom, looked over seriously and said, "I'm bad. I'm not a genius. Only experts are geniuses."

After saying that, he happily went off to greet the new customer.

Welcome to Ichifusa Izakaya!
