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

Liu Feng agreed with a few words, finished his work, and hadn't intended to interrupt.

I've been too busy lately.

They were so busy that they were completely oblivious to what was happening around them.

He has no idea which restaurants are good.

Although she felt a little guilty when she thought about Xu Zhou opening the shop, she still gritted her teeth and spoke up because she thought about how she could help her cousin get more customers for the company.

"Actually, my cousin owns a shop."

"Of course, you can have other options if you want."

Liu Feng already calls him his cousin.

There's no reason for anyone else not to go.

Where you go doesn't matter.

It's all my cousin's shop now, we can't rip off customers, can we?

So the whole group of over thirty people, very happy and full of anticipation, headed towards Ichifusa Izakaya.

On the way, they were in a good mood and even had time to joke around.

But when we arrived at the door at twelve o'clock...

I noticed the door wasn't open.

After a regular customer suggested opening later, and after waiting for half an hour, the shop still wasn't open...

The atmosphere in the group suddenly became a bit off.

Everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger.

However, because Liu Feng was the team leader, no one dared to suggest going to the restaurant next door for dinner.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

...

When Xu Zhou arrived at the store, it was already 12:50.

At a glance.

There were crowds of people in front of their own shop.

"Ouch."

"There are just as many people today."

There were fewer students in the store today.

However, there were still quite a few law students from Songnan University squatting there.

The culinary students were nowhere to be seen.

"Young Master Xu!"

"Boss Xu is here!"

As soon as they saw me, sharp-eyed diners immediately greeted me.

Xu Zhou waved back in a good mood.

After taking a few steps closer, I spotted my cousin Liu Feng looking rather anxious in the crowd.

When he saw himself, his eyes were filled with joy and a long sigh of relief.

coming!

finally come!

As Xu Zhou approached and passed by his team members, he could hear their quiet chatter.

"The team leader is so unreliable. His cousin didn't arrive until fifty minutes later."

"We only have two hours for lunch break, and we don't know if we'll have enough time later."

"Come on, just have a little bit later, you think you'll have time to eat? Do you think you can finish making thirty servings?"

Nobody had much hope.

Upon hearing these words and seeing their dejected and low spirits, Xu Zhou greeted Liu Feng.

"elder brother."

"Well, here?"

Xu Zhou was about to apologize for being late when he saw his cousin smile a little embarrassedly: "It's all my fault for not telling you beforehand. Are you sure you can handle all this? If you can't, I can help you out."

Liu Feng himself knew.

Ultimately, this is all my own problem.

We should have discussed it with Xu Zhou beforehand.

...

Xu Zhou waved his hand, greeted Liu Feng and his team members, and then opened the door, inviting them into the store.

"Please find yourselves a seat."

"The menu is on the blackboard."

Done.

He changed the fast food hamburger meal on the blackboard to fried steak rice.

They then added the price of 185 and the weight of the steak: 170g steak.

After finishing writing, I placed the small blackboard at the entrance.

What are you eating?

"We have new dishes today, 185 yuan a serving."

Xu Zhou showed no intention of offering a discount. He glanced at them, noticing their astonished, bewildered, and somewhat angry expressions, and then gave another introduction.

"If you can eat your fill, ochazuke is fine too, 121."

"But I think you should order the fried steak, since you have to go to work this afternoon."

"Ordering just one bowl of ochazuke (rice with tea) isn't enough."

other people:"……"

When they heard that even the cheapest meal at 121 yuan wouldn't be enough to fill them up, everyone's faces fell and they completely broke down.

No matter whose cousin it is...

But this dish is just too outrageous.

Xu Zhou paused, noticing their silence, and added, "The grilled mackerel with cabbage puree doesn't come with rice..."

Of these simple meals, the fried steak rice bowl is the most suitable for working people.

...

Xu Zhou himself naturally didn't realize that the atmosphere was off.

However, Liu Feng could clearly sense that his team members were barely able to maintain their smiles, and their expressions were almost cracking.

Tea-soaked rice isn't enough to fill me up!

A grilled mackerel dish doesn't come with rice!

What is this?

They wasted an hour of their precious lunch break.

They can't even eat properly.

You should know that their team always has to work overtime to finish coding!

Several people were venting their frustrations in a small group chat.

"The team leader is usually a reliable person, has he gone crazy today? Who would come to eat at this restaurant anyway?"

"The dish that costs 180 yuan only has one piece of fish!"

"The owner himself said that the 121-yuan ochazuke (rice with tea) wasn't enough to fill him up, and he didn't just say it wasn't enough for the guys, which means it's not enough for us girls either!"

"A fried steak rice bowl costs 185 yuan, I'm speechless."

Everyone was extremely frustrated and wanted to save face by ordering the food.

It cost 185 yuan.

But the thought of spending 185 yuan on a fried steak makes me feel suffocated.

Liu Feng also felt a little guilty.

Seeing everyone's unhappy faces, I had no choice but to step forward.

"Then let's each have a fried steak rice bowl. It's on me today."

"I forgot to tell you all earlier that this is my cousin's shop, and I'm treating you all to a meal."

It's a bit expensive.

However, those who support Xu Zhou's shop don't feel bad about the loss.

...

When Liu Feng offered to treat everyone, the resentment in the other group members' hearts immediately dissipated.

Instantly, everyone remembered how well the team leader had taken care of them.

He has the most work every day.

They were all treated well.

As soon as they saw it, even the team leader backed down and offered to treat them to a meal.

I couldn't bear to do it, even though we usually had a good relationship.

After hesitating for a moment, he backed down and said, "No need. Our project hasn't even been completed yet. It's just a regular meal. 185 yuan isn't expensive. Just consider it support for the team leader's brother's startup!"

There was a first one to take the lead.

Whether others are willing or not, they have no choice but to follow.

"Yes, team leader."

"This meal is a bit pricey, but it's your cousin's restaurant..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cai Cai, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him.

"expensive?"

"Expensive my foot."

I was too embarrassed to interrupt, considering he was a relative of Mr. Xu.

But when he heard their expressions of disdain for the new dishes and their complaints about the price, he suddenly got angry.

You thirty-odd people have taken up thirty-odd spots for the new dishes!

We can barely eat a few portions.

You still think it's too expensive?

Are you sick?

Thinking about this, Cai Cai muttered, "She doesn't know how lucky she is!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you're members of the boss's cousin's team, and that it's a limited-edition new dish, we would never have let you order first."

...

Liu Feng's team members were stunned by the scolding.

Isn't it expensive?

Limited edition?

ha?
