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

His eyes gleamed.

Cai Cai, standing next to her, looked on with extreme envy.

"I really envy them for not having eaten Mr. Xu's dishes before."

"He can be this happy just eating a simple fried steak from Boss Xu."

"If they were eating beef stew in Burgundy red wine, wouldn't they be flying?"

For regular customers, this is the best they've ever had in a while.

So when I ate the fried steak, although I was so happy that my eyes narrowed and I let out a satisfied sigh, I wasn't as exaggerated as they were.

...

This was also the first time Liu Feng had witnessed Xu Zhou's culinary skills.

I was completely stunned by what I ate.

After finishing their fried steak rice bowl, the group members next to them rushed to the blackboard without hesitation to look at the dishes they had previously looked down on.

This tastes just right!

The other dishes must be incredibly delicious!

"A serving of salmon ochazuke! A serving of grilled mackerel with cabbage puree!"

"I'd like one of their signature dishes, the imitation yakiniku (grilled meat) dish, and some ochazuke (rice with tea)!"

Deputy team leader Li Pengcheng ordered without a second thought. Just thinking about how the 185-yuan dish tasted good, he wished he could order every dish on the blackboard.

Almost everyone in the group of over thirty people ordered two dishes.

Liu Feng went even further and ordered a Burgundy red wine with beef.

"it is good."

"Hold on."

Xu Zhou took a bowl out of the sterilizer, opened the insulated container for tea-soaked rice, and began making the rice.

The production process was quick.

When Liu Feng's team members saw the delicious food laid out in front of them, they suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

This sense of satisfaction reaches its peak when you drink the tea broth from the ochazuke (rice with tea).

...

at this time.

Someone said something.

"That's the meaning of making money."

I took a sip of the tea and tasted its fresh and mellow flavor, completely different from the taste of the fried steak I had just eaten…

The long-suffering working class has finally found the meaning of working themselves to the bone to earn money.

Why work overtime?

Of course, it's so that when I eat something delicious right now, I'll have enough money to buy a second! Or even a third!

Everyone seemed to be instantly injected with energy.

My entire mental state is different now.

After eating such delicious food, it's as if all the brain cells are awakened, and you suddenly feel energetic and refreshed.

...

The lunch break is short.

Liu Feng and his team finished eating and headed back.

Arrived downstairs of the company.

Looking at the tall buildings and the hurried crowds, they didn't feel annoyed at all; instead, they had a strange feeling.

The team member asked Liu Feng with sparkling eyes, "Team leader, if this project succeeds, can we hold the celebration banquet at my little cousin's shop?"

"Yes, team leader!"

"That beef stew in Burgundy must have been delicious, but I can't afford it right now!"

When Liu Feng was eating, they were all incredibly envious just from looking at him.

Liu Feng nodded: "Okay, if the project is successful, I'll apply to the company for team building activities!"

The team member immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, team leader!"

...

And the other side.

A strange customer suddenly entered Xu Zhou's shop.

Chapter 90 Special Customers

Is this the store?

After much deliberation, Zhang Wanqiu led Li Sen to the store entrance.

Looking at the sign for "Ichizuru Izakaya".

I was just about to go in.

Then I heard some noise inside.

Liu Feng and his large group emerged looking satisfied, while the two of them immediately hid like thieves.

After they left, I was just about to go out.

Then I saw the massage parlor owner come downstairs and take dozens of meals back up.

"Team leader..."

Why are we hiding?

Li Sen hesitated, then said, "Didn't Senior Brother Jiang Wen tell you it was best not to eat at this restaurant?"

"My senior brother said so, but I can choose not to listen."

Zhang Wanqiu felt inexplicably guilty when he thought about how he had tagged Xu Zhou online, and he put a mask out of his pocket.

"Let's go in like this!"

You shouldn't be able to recognize me now, right?

...

Xu Zhou had just finished putting the dishes in the dishwasher when he saw two people wearing masks walk in and paused.

Are you two ordering takeout?

"No! Food should be eaten fresh! It won't taste the same if you take it home!"

"Oh, you can take your masks here. The ventilation in our store is pretty good."

Xu Zhou thought they were worried about the smell in the shop, so he kindly reminded them.

But as soon as he finished speaking...

Zhang Wanqiu was seen covering his face with a mask, showing no intention of taking it off, and even looking wary.

"Let's try them on first!"

"???"

Xu Zhou couldn't help but think, "How can you eat without taking off your mask?"

Don't you have to take off your mask both morning and evening?

What are they hiding from?

...

Zhang Wanqiu, his hair standing on end, stood in front of the small blackboard, glanced at it, and was just about to order a beef stew in Burgundy red wine…

But after glancing at the price, her face flushed red, and she couldn't help but jump up and down.

"How many?"

"Twelve thousand eight! Xu Zhou, are you robbing me?!"

"?"

Do you know each other?

Xu Zhou looked over in confusion. The person in front of him was fifteen or sixteen years old and still a student.

"you know me?"

"From Songnan University?"

As soon as these words came out.

The kid across from me spoke faster than he thought: "Who's from Songnan University? I'm not!"

Those people in the Culinary Arts Department at Songnan University are terrible cooks!

How could he possibly be a student at such a mediocre school?

...

Xu Zhou glanced at him a few more times.

When I see his hairstyle, it always looks familiar.

Seeing that he was still standing in front of the blackboard, I still said something.

"We're out of fried steak set meals today, but we still have everything else."

“I know, didn’t you write it down? I can see it!” Zhang Wanqiu said, raising his head.

"..."

Seeing that he was like a powder keg, Xu Zhou didn't say anything.

I started pulling out my phone to figure out which comic book to sell next door after Brother Li's Diner goes out of business...

If we were to open a restaurant called "MasterChef Junior," wouldn't the restaurant next door have to be called "Kikushiro"?

...

Waited for a while.

Xu Zhou was about to get up and stretch when he heard the little kid's babbling voice coming from over there.

He seemed to be subconsciously commenting on the dishes.

"These dishes are not easy to make well. Even this seemingly ordinary-sounding roasted mackerel and cabbage puree is not a simple dish."

The little kid muttered to himself, "Is it seasonal? And it's so bland, and it's made with sea fish."

"Team leader, what's so difficult about this? It looks like rice soup to me, right? It's very simple." Li Sen scratched his head.

"You're so stupid! If you don't do it well, your flaws will be easily exposed in such a bland flavor."

"..."

"Especially this dish, the flavor of the fish and the flavor of the cabbage puree must blend together to make it delicious."

Otherwise, it will just be ordinary and unremarkable.

It's difficult to make a dish that looks simple stand out.

Zhang Wanqiu's gaze lingered on the beef stew in Burgundy red wine for a long time, but since he couldn't afford it, he had to give up.

The fried steak I made myself sold out.

After searching for a long time, I finally picked out a few dishes that hadn't been replicated yet.

"One mackerel ochazuke, and one salmon ochazuke."

"Another serving of grilled mackerel with cabbage puree, please."
