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

The tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth fish and the flavor of the cabbage and yam puree blended together perfectly, giving her an instant taste of the perfect spring ingredients.

"too delicious!"

"So fresh! And the natural flavor of the ingredients has been brought out to its fullest..."

Li Yingwan said almost without hesitation: "From now on, our store will cooperate with you!"

“We want both of your light meals. I will provide a dedicated insulated container and send someone down to pick them up when the time comes. I will also tell you the number of orders for the next day every night.”

Xu Zhou thought about the two simple meals that were about to be upgraded, and that he could buy enough ingredients for 300 servings of each meal, so he agreed.

"We can provide you with some."

...

People from Brother Li's casual dining area nearby also came over and saw the fish that Xu Zhou was cooking.

They probably didn't know what fresh mackerel looked like.

But after seeing Xu Zhou's cooking of mackerel, what is there left to not understand?

The mackerel in Mr. Xu's shop is so fresh and juicy after cooking, it looks like it's radiating life.

But even though the spicy mackerel here had such a strong flavor, you could still taste a bit of fishy smell.

"Money back!"

"Old Li, that's really unfair of you! We're all regular customers, how could you try to cheat us with stale fish?"

"If they don't refund our money, we're going to report them right now!"

The other customers in the store didn't want to eat anymore and all took their money back.

Xu Zhou didn't say anything more and prepared to go back to his shop, close it, and go home.

But as I walked to the door, for some reason, I suddenly caught sight of Brother Li's light meals out of the corner of my eye.

An idea popped into my head.

"Who said it has to be upstairs..."

"If it weren't upstairs, we could buy the apartment next door and knock it down!"

The more Xu Zhou looked at it, the more he felt that Brother Li's casual dining restaurant was worth investing in.

Once you take over the property, open it up, and renovate the adjacent area into a different food-themed space!

What kind of food-themed anime should I draw?

Cooking Master Boy?

Another World Restaurant?

There are so many choices!

...

With this thought in mind, Xu Zhou closed the shop and went home.

I got home and had just sprawled on the sofa when my phone rang.

Look down.

It was Jiang Yaotiao's phone call.

"This late at night..."

"What does this little girl want from me?"

Once we acquire Brother Li's Fast Food!

I'm starting my second comic book!

...

What kind of comic should I start?

Chapter 57 The Food Festival is Coming Soon!

"Wait, speak slowly. You mean, men and women spend the night in a villa in the wilderness without going home... and even live together?"

While on the phone, Xu Zhou's pupils dilated in shock: "Is this a proper class reunion?"

Half an hour later.

"Boatman, didn't you say you weren't coming?"

Inside the sports car, Jiang Yaotiao held the steering wheel with one hand and leaned out of the car window.

Beneath her short, pink bangs was a small, oval face, and her skin glowed white in the sunlight.

Her eyes were lively with a hint of cunning, and her whole person was slender, delicate and petite, like a rebellious little figurine dressed in coolgirl clothes.

"I know you're just worried about me getting into trouble," Jiang Yaotiao said smugly, grinning from ear to ear.

Xu Zhou's lips twitched when he saw her unladylike smile.

"It's been a long time since I had a class reunion, so it's not a waste of time to go and see how they are doing."

After all, the world seems to have changed quite a bit.

Xu Zhou sat in the passenger seat, and as soon as he opened the car door, he smelled the rich scent of wild roses.

The leather seats are very soft, and the interior of the car is extremely luxurious; it looks brand new.

My little childhood sweetheart is doing quite well in the food-themed parallel world!

...

As Jiang Yaotiao drove, she proudly raised her chin, looking like she was asking for credit.

“Zhouzi, actually, I invited you here for more than just a class reunion.”

"Several people in our class have created food columns and social media accounts. Isn't there a food festival coming up soon? They can help us shoot videos to promote it in advance."

She proudly tilted her pretty chin and said, "I always think of you when something good happens! Aren't I a good friend?"

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou became interested: "Any of our classmates are doing self-media?"

"Of course, food-related social media accounts are very popular, and they have a lot of followers. There are several in our class."

"Imagine if they could help you promote it before the food festival, people would definitely come from far and wide. Then, on the day of the food festival, have them do a live stream..."

"On the day of the food festival, not only students from Songnan University came, but also many people from Songnan City came to join in the fun."

"Is our class full of hidden talents? What are their social media accounts called?"

Xu Zhou took out his phone, asking for the name while searching.

Soon, his social media account was found on a short video platform.

[Songnan Cuisine Gazette / Followers: 65]

[Xiao Jiang Talks Cooking / Followers: 33]

[Feifei's Food Column / Followers: 23]

"Wow, quite a few fans!"

"This Feifei Cuisine... Is there anyone in our class named Feifei?"

Xu Zhou saw that the first two numbers matched up; the first two were Liu Shuang's numbers in the class, and the third was Jiang Shulang's number in the class.

But this last one…

Jiang Yaotiao didn't hide anything: "The last one is Liu Shuang's girlfriend's number, which is also local and belongs to his college classmate."

"Oh, Liu Shuang is doing so well now?"

pity…

They didn't interact much in class before.

Xu Zhou couldn't help but ponder the food festival.

If the food festival ranks first, it will not only receive a wave of advertising, but also a million-dollar renovation fund.

With this million!

Wouldn't I be one step closer to buying Brother Li's light meals and starting my second comic book?

But if you were to open a restaurant called "MasterChef Junior," you'd probably need a whole "Kikuka-ro" (a famous Japanese restaurant chain), right? One storefront probably wouldn't be enough space.

Forget it.

Let's get through the food festival first.

...

Xu Zhou focused his attention on promotion.

Will this promotion be effective?

I don't think it will be very useful.

Ultimately, customer ratings will depend on the taste of the food on the day of the meal.

Jiang Yaotiao started a conversation while driving.

"He is now a food show host and is doing quite well in Songnan City."

"Several students in our class are going to participate in the food festival. We're all classmates, and Liu Shuang had already promised to help them."

She proudly raised her chin: "I'll let you film my segment. We're like family, no need to be polite."

Anyway, her shop already has a six-star rating, so she doesn't need the traffic from this food festival.

...

The gathering took place in a villa area.

Each villa is spaced a certain distance from the others and has a large yard.

Xu Zhou happened to run into them when he got off the bus.

Zhu Zixuan, a classmate from high school, was leading Liu Shuang inside: "Does that video need improvement? Our shop just opened recently, and it's only two stars..."

"Also, could you please leave me about ten seconds at the end?"

There are some differences between Liu Shuang's and Xu Zhou's memories.

In his own world, he was a very thin, quiet person who seemed somewhat gloomy.

In this parallel world of food, he seems to have become somewhat chubby due to years of staying up late editing food videos.

"Who is it left for? Why are you being so secretive?"

Liu Shuang hesitated for a moment: "That depends on the situation, but I've already processed your part of the video."

Several classmates walked in arm in arm.

"My brother Liu has over 100,000 followers on his own social media account, and he's also a food program host. He'll be doing a live broadcast at the food festival that day!"

"Yes, Brother Liu, my shop is at No. 18 in Area A. You must remember to bring your live stream and visit my shop."

Liu Shuang smiled and said, "No problem! It's just a video. It's just a few classmates. I should help them out."

They went inside together.

Xu Zhou followed Jiang Yaotiao into the villa.

The moment Xu Zhou stepped into the villa, it suddenly fell silent.

After a pause, many people looked at each other for a long time, and everyone, whether they were drinking water or beverages, secretly glanced over.

Xu Zhou felt a chill run down his spine from that look.

It took a full minute before someone finally couldn't hold back and said hello.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, what brings you here?"

"You haven't come to our class reunion in all these years of college?"
