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

Xu Zhou kept a blank face, intending to hold back, but when he thought about how it concerned the promotion of his store, he couldn't help himself.

Just bear it!

He picked up his phone and started replying to comments below.

Chapter 33 New Dishes Unveiled

This group purchase was requested by a regular customer of the store, and it wasn't something Xu Zhou wanted to put up himself.

Therefore, Xu Zhou was not worried at all about any negative impact from this group-buying activity page.

Maybe I can even try to advertise my comics and boost my wish count.

So he replied to each and every comment below, specifically picking on the first one.

"This has been featured in a manga, have you seen 'Food Wars!'? How can this be the same as ordinary dishes?"

"Haven't seen it? If you haven't seen it, that's your problem. How could it be my problem?"

"Have you even tried it before you say it's expensive? If you take a bite and still say it's expensive, I'll give you a full refund!"

"So what if it's a zero rating? A zero rating is definitely better than a three-star rating! A three-star rating means the store is only at a three-star level, while a zero rating means unlimited possibilities!"

At first, Xu Zhou was a little reserved, but after experiencing those reverse operations in the comics, he is now quite adept at it.

Seeing the group-buying activity made me so angry I almost vomited blood.

Does a few scattered points equal infinite possibilities?

Why don't you go to heaven?

Many people on the page were indeed provoked, and when they saw Xu Zhou's very forceful "Go read it!", they inexplicably opened the "Food Wars!" manga.

Everyone held the same thought in their hearts:

I want to see what kind of outrageous comic allows you to confidently boast about selling 50 grams of beef for 1280 yuan.

...

After Xu Zhou finished complaining, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

His mother's voice rang out from outside the door: "Son, may I come in?"

"come in."

Xu Zhou turned off the screen and responded. Then he saw his mother place a plate of peeled and diced mangoes on the table.

After seeing that she had eaten several pieces, she gently sat down on the stool next to her and asked:

Is the store busy?

"good."

Xu Zhou poked a piece of mango with a toothpick and put it in his mouth, asking indistinctly, "What's wrong, Mom?"

"It's your aunt."

Zhang Yinghong looked somewhat troubled: "Didn't your cousin just start working? But he forgets to eat dinner every day, and your aunt is worried."

"Oh."

Xu Zhou asked in confusion, "So?"

The dishes in my own restaurant are all very expensive, so they are definitely not suitable as a casual meal for daily commutes.

We'll have to wait until the dishes from "Cooking Master Boy" are released before we can have a suitable lunch for commuters.

“Your cousin used to bring his own lunch, but it probably wasn’t to his liking, so he didn’t eat much each time, and he’s lost weight since he started working.”

“When your cousin gets into work, he completely forgets about eating. So your aunt is thinking of finding a good restaurant outside, so that when it’s mealtime, your cousin will remember to eat because of the food.”

Zhang Yinghong explained, then asked, "Your aunt has always had a good relationship with us, so she thought she'd ask us first."

"..."

Taste.

Xu Zhou was silent for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Our store has a 1.9 rating, and she's asking us about it?"

When it comes to delicious food, you can't ask them for advice.

I've only been running the shop for a short time, and my relatives don't even know that the menu has been changed.

"What's wrong with 1.9!"

When the 1.9 mark was mentioned, Zhang Yinghong's tone immediately became proud, and her face showed an expression of pride.

"That's because my cooking skills and your dad's are worth 1.9."

“My son’s cooking skills are not just 5 points, they’re worth 100 points.”

"My aunt probably just asked casually."

Xu Zhou thought for a moment and shook his head: "Besides, the dishes in my restaurant are all expensive, so I probably don't have any set meals suitable for commuting."

Just finished speaking.

He immediately thought of the new recipe from the second half of episode 4 of Food Wars!

Although the second half of the fourth episode hasn't started drawing yet, Xu Zhou clearly remembers that when the male protagonist, Yukihira Soma, entered the Polar Star House, he underwent two tests.

One was the entrance exam for Polaris Dormitory, and the other was a food battle with Isshiki Satoshi, one of the Totsuki Elite Ten from the second year of Polaris Dormitory.

Of these dishes, the one that the male protagonist, Soma Yukihira, made during his entrance exam was a fast food dish made with canned mackerel.

Xu Zhou pondered for a moment, thinking to himself:

"Canned mackerel shouldn't be too expensive, after all, it's canned food, so it can't be too pricey."

"However, the new dish is just a mackerel burger patty set meal, which consists of a patty, an egg drop soup, and rice."

"Forget it."

Although she had thought of this set meal, Xu Zhou shook her head because she didn't know what the price would be: "Mom, go tell Auntie, we don't have any suitable dishes at home for the time being."

"Oh, okay, I'll go talk to your aunt."

Zhang Yinghong didn't feel any regret. She went outside, poured a glass of hot milk, placed it on the table, and earnestly instructed, "Son, don't stay up too late tonight."

"it is good."

Xu Zhou picked up his drawing tablet and began working on the second half of episode four.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yinghong, who was outside the door, called Zhang Xue to tell her about the matter.

Zhang Xue's voice was gentle on the phone.

"Sis, Xiaofeng's company offers internal referrals. Why don't you let Xiaozhou try it out too? Their company is expanding recently."

“Nowadays, restaurants need to have a high star rating to make money. I’m still a little worried about him. What if he loses his status as a recent graduate? He won’t have an advantage when looking for a job later.”

"Besides, the company offers very good benefits. Do you want to talk to Xiaozhou about it?"

Occasionally, you can hear a few words of chatter coming from the living room.

However, Xu Zhou didn't take it to heart. After all, his aunt Zhang Xue had always cared about them since they were little and would always think of them in any situation.

After closing the door, he continued working on his comics.

...

In the second half of episode four.

The protagonist, Soma Yukihira, finally passed the transfer student test and the first entrance class test before finally standing at the entrance of Polaris Dormitory.

From this moment on, he officially became a member of the top-tier culinary academy, Totsuki Culinary Academy.

They will soon have their own dormitory.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped into the dormitory lobby, I saw the dormitory supervisor who was in a foul mood.

"Are the ingredients ready?"

"The unique check-in skills trial of Polaris Lodge".

"Anyone who wants to move into this dormitory needs to cook a dish. Only if the dish is deemed delicious will they be able to move in!"

When Xu Zhou got to this part of the drawing, he couldn't help but complain: "How do people at this school do things? They even have to take exams to live in the dorms."

Is this what a gourmet anime is like?

While complaining, Xu Zhou continued drawing.

The protagonist, Soma Yukihira, was clearly unprepared when he suddenly encountered the trial. He had no ingredients prepared, so he could only make do with the leftover ingredients in the dormitory's communal kitchen.

All that was left in the kitchen were onions, a little bit of vegetables, breadcrumbs, eggs, and canned mackerel.

Upon seeing these ingredients, Xu Zhou couldn't help but think, "It seems that the first cheap dish in my shop is finally coming soon!"

If it's a high-quality, dream-like ingredient like canned mackerel, I wonder if there's a limit of ten servings.

According to Xu Zhou's understanding of the Prayer Value, the higher the quality of the fantasy food, the more Prayer Value it requires, which is why you can only buy a limited number of servings when your level is low.

If it's just canned fast food...

Oh well, we'll find out when the time comes.

Xu Zhou focused his attention and began drawing the dish portion.

In the manga, the protagonist, Soma Yukihira, gets fired up and prepares the ingredients, chopping vegetables, steaming, and stir-frying. After a series of actions, he quickly serves up a steaming hot meal.

It takes a very short time.

Moreover, the ingredients used were all leftovers from the dormitory supervisor in the kitchen.

Ingredients: Onion, flour, eggs, canned mackerel, mackerel juice, citrus vinegar, potato starch, squid tentacles.

That concludes the second half of episode four.

The final shot freezes on the dormitory auntie's astonished reaction when she sees the dish served by the protagonist, Soma Yukihira: "How is this possible!"

"A qualified creator must learn to cut out sections!"

Xu Zhou stopped drawing here and uploaded this half of the text.

[A Must-Read for Dear Readers]

Store positioning to be discussed in advance:

The menu focuses on fine dining.

Simple meals are a secondary option.

I did it all myself.

-

There aren't many affordable foods that can gain popularity through high volume.

My parents helped with some of the tedious tasks, so all I had to do was control the amount and timing when making the fillings. (It wasn't tiring.) (My parents asked me to do it.)

Chapter 34: Upgraded Recipe for Imitation Barbecue!

After uploading this half-sentence, Xu Zhou casually glanced at his wish value page.

It was originally just a routine daily inspection.

But upon looking at it, he instantly sat up straight, both puzzled and shocked.

"Wait a minute!"

"This data... has increased quite a bit!"

"That's not right. I remember it was only around 800 when I checked this afternoon. How did it go up to 950?"
