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

After seeing it, passersby started to waver.

Is it really that delicious?

Don’t say anything else.

College students wouldn't lie, would they?

...

A restaurant serving one dish and one meal.

Chen Xianjun looked at the voting interface on the Food Association branch app.

Although it wasn't the actual day of the selection, this was just a poll spontaneously organized by passersby.

However, seeing the support rate for ochazuke (rice with tea) suddenly rise slowly to 40 percent still made the head chef of Yicai Yifan feel very frustrated.

"The reason it's called 'Chef' is probably because the video was filmed by students from Songnan University."

"A video taken by a student from Songnan University was posted in the comments section..."

The kitchen helper handed me the phone.

The comments section was filled with comments from passersby who had watched the video.

You can't go wrong eating with college students. They don't have much money, so if they're willing to spend over a hundred yuan on a meal, it must be really good.

[Would college students lie? They'd even tell us which factories had unclean products during their summer jobs. College students wouldn't lie.]

The kitchen helper looked troubled: "Chef, the ochazuke at Ichizuru Izakaya... seems to have really made a name for itself."

Look at the expressions on their faces.

It seems that Xu Zhou's dish was really delicious.

Although the potential dish has more than one award.

But obviously.

It's impossible for both tea-soaked rice and soup-soaked rice to win awards at the same time.

Chen Xianjun said coldly, "Discount! Sell at cost price!"

...

Xu Zhou didn't pay much attention to the dishes and rice.

As he finished making the ochazuke (rice with tea), a group of regular customers from the Culinary Arts Department of Songnan University walked in, chatting as they entered.

Zhang Ya and Liu Niannian, who were in the lead, looked like wilted cabbages, muttering angrily as they walked into their shop.

"Are the people at Songbei Culinary Academy crazy? Why are they suddenly targeting the Food Wars! manga?"

"do not know."

"Why is the 'One Bowl Rice' club making fried steak rice bowls? Are they planning to serve this dish when they communicate with us?"

Updated at 0:00.

The monthly pass is 900. I promised to add three more chapters and I still owe 4 chapters.

The next week will consist of (at least four chapters + one chapter owed).

--------------

This is the first book for a newcomer.

I promise and swear:

I will diligently write four updates every day, ensuring high quality and quantity of content, and carefully including pictures.

I promised to add an extra chapter and I will do so / one extra chapter for every 300 monthly votes.

I will write this book diligently and with high quality.

If I fail to do so, I will never be able to write another hit book in my lifetime.

If I fail to do so, I will be poor my whole life, destitute until the end.

This is my determination and commitment, and I hope you can see my resolve. I might not be good at speaking; my parents say I have low emotional intelligence.

I don't really like to play the victim, because I find writing this book very enjoyable, hehe.

So all I can do is swear... It might sound silly, but I hope you can feel my sincerity. I'll post a daily word count log every month, and I absolutely love this book!!!

Chapter 84 Remember to come eat next time you have money

Xu Zhou's ears perked up as soon as he heard about the fried steak rice bowl.

Isn't this a new recipe?

Someone's replicating it again?

Xu Zhou had no intention of making this dish the main dish in his restaurant for the long term.

The restaurant's main dishes still need to be impressive.

I had already decided on the future direction of the store.

So the recipe has been finalized.

The main focus is on fine dining dishes, and before the restaurant was upgraded to a star rating, the dishes could only be rotated every few days.

If there are more recipes.

The signature dishes can also be rotated.

For example, spring special dishes like roasted mackerel with Sichuan peppercorns can be rotated with tea-soaked rice.

...

The small blackboard was written on and placed on the small table at the entrance.

"Fortunately, the two different flavors of ochazuke are considered as one dish in the restaurant."

Xu Zhou looked at the menu in his shop and fell into deep thought: "There are still a few signature dishes in the shop, but there is a big dish when Meat Charm and Little Red Hair compete."

"Moreover, it's made with A5 grade Wagyu beef, so this dish is definitely worth making one of the restaurant's signature dishes."

Just thinking about this dish.

A sense of anticipation suddenly arose in my heart.

This is definitely a main dish!

After checking and finding no problems, Xu Zhou wrote down the daily limit and price of each dish.

...

When Xu Kai saw that the daily limit for Burgundy red wine with beef had been increased from ten to fifty servings, he was so excited that he turned into a screaming chicken.

He stood up abruptly.

"Fifty servings! Little boss! You're my god!"

"Give me four servings of beef!"

"I can finally bring my parents to eat here! I'm finally a dutiful son!"

His excited expression, as if he wanted to go for a run, left the students from Songnan University nearby completely bewildered.

Some people wondered, "Mr. Xu's restaurant used to not allow customers to bring relatives to eat? That can't be right, can it?"

"of course not."

"Why then?"

Previously, the beef here was limited to ten servings.

Xu Kai said matter-of-factly, "How could I dare bring my family here? I'm not even sure I can get enough to eat myself."

His parents taught him from a young age that one should share snacks with friends only after one's own desires have been satisfied.

He is an obedient and good son!

So, it would be reasonable to share the beef with my parents after my craving for it has been satisfied, right?

So many days have passed.

Xu Zhou was already used to cooking in front of everyone.

They are already skilled at stewing several portions of beef together in one pot.

The more times you make this dish.

The more adept you are at it, the better.

It was as if everything was under control.

In front of the students of Songnan University, Xu Zhou calmly began to do his work.

...

Although it was stewed with the lid on.

But as the broth from the stewed beef boiled and simmered, the lid was pushed open by the steam, creating a tiny crack.

The aroma of beef wafted out, its strong, subtle fragrance drifting from the open bar area on the left to the booth seating area.

The aroma of beef fat mixed with the fragrance of red wine wafting into the air after it evaporated, making everyone unable to move on.

"It smells so good..."

Today's customers are mostly students who can only afford ochazuke (rice with tea), and they have to rely on group buying to leave a review if they need to spend over 500 NTD.

Apart from a few people who smelled the beef aroma on the first day, everyone else was smelling it for the first time.

They're like cats that've inhaled catnip.

Smell it hard with your eyes closed.

He looked completely absorbed, then couldn't help but sigh.

"When will I be able to afford beef like this? I can't imagine how happy I would be to eat beef like this one day."

"Don't be fooled by the price of over ten thousand yuan per serving, it's definitely worth it from Boss Xu."

Xu Kai went on and on, explaining to the people next to him how high the quality of Xuzhou's beef and wine was, and how much such wine cost...

The students were completely engrossed in listening.

Even though I can't afford it.

But for some reason, the price of this beef didn't seem expensive at all, and everyone's eyes were full of longing.

Zhang Yong captured this scene and posted it in the comments section of the tea-soaked rice vs. soup-soaked rice comparison.

The video was accompanied by a caption: "[The power of the signature dishes at Ichizuru Izakaya...]"

...

in the crowd.

Listen, listen.

A student from a not-so-wealthy family looked longingly at the plate of beef in Xu Zhou's hand.

For the first time, I longed to quickly transition from a student to an adult.

If I can find a job, I'll have enough money to eat this beef.

I couldn't help but say it out loud because I was thinking it.

"When I can afford this beef someday with my monthly salary, I definitely have to come and eat it!"

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou ladled out a portion of beef while extending his hand to him, saying, "Here you go."

"Give...to me?"

Tian Xiaoxi's eyes were glued to the screen. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head: "No, no, this is too expensive. I want to buy it myself."

"That's what I'm talking about."

Xu Zhou handed over one of the meal reservation vouchers that he hadn't used up last time, which could only be reserved once: "Remember to come and eat."
