[Sōma Yukihira Fast Food Mackerel Burger Meal +1 +1 +1 +1...]

[Soma Yukihira Fast Food Mackerel Burger Steak: 1700/10000 (3)]

[Congratulations on reaching Level 2 with the Fast-Food Mackerel Burger Meal! Currently, you can sell 150 servings per day.]

[Current material discount: 10% off / 58.5]

Seeing the rapidly increasing prayer value, Xu Zhou finally realized what was happening.

After all fifty people bought the full amount, almost everyone contributed nearly twenty wish points. In addition, Grandpa Jiang Yonghua strongly promoted the fast mackerel burger meat combo for him.

Many diners believe that the dish is delicious because they trust Mr. Jiang.

Although this belief is weak, and each person only adds a fraction of a point to the prayer value, it becomes quite substantial when there are many people involved.

"It seems that advertising is still very important."

When Xu Zhou saw that the progress of the other dishes had caught up with almost a week's worth of progress in just one day, he couldn't help but sigh.

Is this the charm of simple meals?

Although it was a simple meal costing 89.

However, because the ingredients are simple, the portion sizes are not that small.

Upgrading is also very quick.

Xu Zhou also summarized an experience: simple meals are inexpensive but easy to upgrade.

Top-tier recipes and ingredients are expensive, and upgrading them would yield higher profits each time they are made in the future, but upgrading is relatively difficult.

That's damn reasonable!

...

the next day.

Xu Zhou's head was still spinning because he had made 150 meat patties in the system training room last night.

I slept straight through until noon.

Liu Fang, Jiang Wen's apprentice at Su's Imperial Kitchen, was asked by Jiang Wen to come over and find out the situation around 10 o'clock.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Ichizuru Izakaya, he was carrying several bowls of snowmelt soup.

"Is the chef putting too much importance on this shop?"

"You really sent me to gather information?"

"It's just that Grandpa Jiang gave it a recommendation. Once the hype dies down, nobody will care anymore."

Liu Fang was very confident in the Snow Melting Soup from the Su Family Imperial Kitchen.

"Besides, how could this shop's oyster congee possibly compare to Melted Snow Soup?"

He held several bowls of snow-melting soup in his hands, preparing to compare them carefully later and clearly write down the advantages of his restaurant's dishes.

Waited for a while.

Liu Fang was getting impatient. After changing his standing position several times, he finally couldn't help but turn to ask several calm customers next to him.

Don't you guys find it boring?

"..."

Xu Kai looked up in surprise, puzzled: "New here?"

"Correct."

"No wonder."

Xu Kai smiled and said, "At this time, Boss Xu is basically still not awake. We used to often wait until the afternoon."

"You're lucky today, the young boss will be here soon."

Liu Fang: "..."

Even our eight-star store doesn't dare keep customers waiting until the afternoon.

Why do customers wait patiently in front of your small shop without complaining?

...

Amidst these doubts, Xu Zhou finally appeared before everyone at 1 p.m., wearing slippers.

"Young Master Xu!"

"Um, what are you eating?"

Xu Zhou asked casually as he opened the door.

After Xu Kai and the others had finished ordering, Liu Fang cautiously spoke up: "I'd like a bowl of oyster congee."

"Just a bowl of porridge?"

Xu Kai couldn't help but recommend to him: "Boss Xu, the other dishes here are also very delicious. You can try the imitation barbecue dishes. If you don't have enough money, you can buy a group deal."

"No need, a bowl of porridge will do." Liu Fang said in a very restrained tone.

After speaking, he carefully placed the snow-melting soup in his hand on the table.

The packaging box for the Snow Melting Soup is exquisite, resembling a wooden stand with a fine porcelain bowl containing the soup.

The bowl is also decorated with plum blossom patterns.

Xu Kai, who had drunk the snow melting soup before, recognized it almost immediately.

He asked in a very natural yet questioning tone, "Why did you bring this beggar's edition?"

Liu Fang was stunned, not understanding at all: "What?"

"The Snow Melting Soup from the Su Family Imperial Kitchen."

"Isn't this just a budget version of the oyster congee from our boss Xu's shop?"

Xu Kai pursed his lips: "Even the beggar's version praised this dish."

"It tastes terrible and it's expensive."

"..."

Liu Fang's eyes were somewhat dazed.

Beta version?

Is this oyster congee a budget version of the Snow Melting Soup from the Su Family Imperial Kitchen?

How delicious must this porridge be?

Chapter 47 This tastes even better than snow melting soup!

Xu Zhou didn't pay attention to the customers' conversation, but focused on making the food herself.

He was already very familiar with the process of making oyster congee. After they ordered, he went to the chef's station to start making today's dishes.

[Purchase of 50 servings of imitation barbecue ingredients at a 10% discount]

[Ten servings of oyster congee ingredients successfully purchased at original price]

[Ten servings of the "Egg Rice Bowl Transformation" dish were successfully purchased at the original price]

Ten servings of Burgundy Beef Stew (Modified Version) successfully purchased.

[150 servings of fast-food mackerel burger patty meal purchased at a 10% discount on ingredients]

The cost of ingredients alone was quite high.

I buy all the ingredients every day.

Any unsold ingredients will be carried over to the Songnan University Food Festival seven days later, so that people can buy more portions.

And if they think it's too expensive, they can sell it separately.

...

At this moment, a large amount of ingredients are lying in the system training room, ready to be used at any time.

After my fast-food hamburger patty was upgraded yesterday, I prepared a hundred patties overnight in the training room, which are now neatly arranged and steaming hot.

Xu Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

"This training room is really convenient for preparing meals; no matter when you take them out, they still look like they were just put in."

As soon as Xu Zhou finished putting the ingredients down after leaving the small room, Liu Fang's eyes were glued to him.

hiss--

God!

What did he see?

Burgundy Pinot Noir!

Top-quality beef!

Even the oysters on the table looked so fresh, as if they had just been pulled from the sea, carrying the unique scent of the deep ocean.

"This……"

"Maybe it's just because the ingredients are good."

Liu Fang couldn't help but feel apprehensive. The Melting Snow Soup had received unanimous praise from industry professionals when the chef ordered it.

But this confidence began to crack when he saw Xu Zhou's calm and smooth cooking movements.

The white, plump rice porridge shimmered under the light, and when it was poured over the oysters, whose edges were browned and golden brown, its aroma was instantly released.

The oysters were coated in a thick, transparent porridge, as if they were wearing a thin coat, and you could faintly smell the salted egg yolks and garlic chive juice that had been stir-fried.

You can sense its extraordinary nature just by looking at it.

The three servings of congee were served together.

"All right."

Xu Zhou placed the three bowls of porridge on the counter in front of him: "If you're in a hurry, come and get them yourself. If you're not, wait for me..."

"What are you standing there for? Go get it yourself." Xu Kai saw Liu Fang, who was still waiting for Xu Zhou to serve the dishes, and he had already gotten up and happily went to get the porridge himself.

While serving the porridge, she also went to get a clean spoon for herself.

Liu Fang: "..."

This small, scattered shop not only has no waiters, but customers also have to serve themselves their food.

...

I saw that everyone around me was engrossed in eating their porridge.

Liu Fang carefully brought over his dishes and gently picked up an oyster with a spoon.

The congee should have a layer of delicate, glistening congee oil floating on top. When he gently lifted a spoonful of oysters coated in the translucent congee oil, they seemed to refract light under the lamp.

Although the rice grains have been stewed until they are completely soft and fluffy, they still retain their original shape.

Unable to resist any longer, I swallowed a mouthful. As I gently bit into the oyster, I effortlessly broke open the perfectly tender meat.

The complex, multi-layered flavors assault the taste buds: the smoothness and sweetness of the porridge, the perfect texture of the porridge oil, the tender white oyster meat, and a hint of the sandy taste of stir-fried salted egg yolk.

With several factors combined and the impact building up layer by layer, Liu Fang felt his defenses crumbling.

A dazzling golden light seemed to flash through my mind, filling me with an excitement akin to the unfolding of a golden legend.

"good to eat!"

“This taste…”

Liu Fang couldn't savor the taste; he practically swallowed the porridge whole, pursed his lips, and shoved the entire bowl into his mouth.

After finishing the meal, I felt a sense of desolation, as if I had been struck by a huge shock, and slumped in my chair in a daze.

My understanding has been completely eroded.

No wonder people say this dish at Su's Imperial Kitchen is a budget version...
