Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

As an elf, she doesn't need to eat, and she's seen many kinds of porridge, but this is the first time she's ever seen one so appetizing.

It would be impolite not to eat.

Somewhat conflicted, she glanced at the smiling man, then picked up the soup spoon in front of her, scooped a spoonful from the bowl, and brought it to her nose to smell it.

Its refreshing fragrance is delightful and invigorating, instantly making one feel good about it.

So, without the girl's knowledge, she subconsciously put the porridge in her mouth.

The perfectly controlled fragrance brought her joy, and the warm scent dispelled the gloom in her heart, allowing her to temporarily forget that she was still in a dangerous situation.

The addition of crisp and refreshing cucumber elevates this beef congee to an impeccable level.

The beauty let out a soft moan, her long, shapely legs rubbing back and forth, and two blushes appeared on her fair face.

Finally, staring blankly at the porridge she had drunk all of and the empty plate, she was utterly bewildered.

Faced with her behavior, the man did not show any disgust; instead, he smiled happily.

For him, this kind of performance was the greatest praise for his food. The beauty blushed and shyly tightened her tattered clothes again.

Is this... not clothes ripping off? I really just want to be a Grand Chef, not a Grand Medicine King!

Emiya Shirou put aside his somewhat strange thoughts and spoke gently.

"In the cold season, a bowl of hot porridge is the best medicine to dispel the chill and loneliness of the heart. No elixir or delicacy can compare to this pure warmth. I wonder if Miss is satisfied with my cooking?"

Looking at his sunny smile, even the girl was unconsciously infected by him.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Even the girl herself didn't know that, at some point, the mist on her face had dissipated, transforming into a smile that brought joy to everyone.

Yes, just like a fairy from the highest heavens.

Just as Shirou Emiya was thinking this, the girl in front of him spoke.

“Yu”.

"?" Emiya Shirou looked at the girl with feigned confusion.

My name is Yu.

Emiya Shirou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yu? What a nice name. I'll remember it."

Yu Meiren stared intently at Emiya Shirou, her crimson lips parting slightly: "What's your name?"

New author, new book! Please add to your favorites and recommend!

Is Zhang San's touching of Yu about to become a reality?

The stunningly beautiful girl gazed at Shirou Emiya with her brown eyes, their reflections mirroring each other's.

Emiya Shirou pointed to himself, his smile as warm as the winter sun.

"My name is Emiya Shirou."

"Emiya Shirou? Your name is strange; it's a surname I've never heard of before."

Yu Meiren repeated these four words to herself several times, and then, still somewhat unsatisfied, ate the bowl of porridge until it was gleaming.

When she looked up again, she found Shirou Emiya still smiling at her, and thinking about what she had just done, she felt a little annoyed.

This is not my fault at all; it's all the man's fault. It's just a bowl of porridge; why make it so delicious?

However, faced with such delicious food, I simply couldn't bring myself to say no.

Moreover, Yu Meiren felt a warm current flowing through her body, which not only healed her fatigue but also replenished her energy.

The energy lost after the self-destruction was completely restored after drinking this bowl of porridge?

She couldn't sense any energy fluctuations in this store.

Could this ordinary-looking man, who appears to be a young boy, really be some immortal who has been left behind in the world?

His smile should have been completely innocent, so why does it make me so angry?

Yu Ji slammed the small bowl down on the table with a bang, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised. "What are you laughing at? You haven't stopped laughing from beginning to end!"

Emiya Shirou was taken aback. As expected of the hot-tempered old man, was there something wrong with my smile?

That's impossible. Emiya Shirou's standard professional smile is so natural and completely unpretentious.

Furthermore, he genuinely found the sight of Yu Meiren drinking porridge both adorable and beautiful, a sight to behold, proving the ancients were right.

Emiya Shirou's laughter was genuine.

Therefore, he chose to tell the truth, "because the guest is very beautiful."

"what?!"

The words Yu Meiren wanted to say were immediately choked in her mouth.

Emiya Shirou continued, "Before entering the shop, you must have experienced something unpleasant. Why not rest here for a while?"

"this..."

Yu Meiren looked down at her body, large patches of snow-white skin exposed, and the bloodstains on her body had already congealed.

He must think I'm indecent, right?

However, Shirou Emiya's eyes were crystal clear. After all, he had experienced so much in his previous life, and such exposure was nothing to him, not even comparable to a baby carriage.

Using her energy to repair her clothes, Yu Meiren swept away the stains and bloodstains on her body. She looked at Emiya Shirou tentatively, hoping to see a look of surprise on the man's face.

However, she miscalculated once again. Instead of being surprised, Shirou Emiya showed a look of annoyance.

"It was my oversight. I should have provided cleaning services when the customer entered the store so that the customer could enjoy my breakfast more pleasantly. As an apology, I will give the customer's bowl of porridge free of charge."

"Huh? No, aren't you surprised? Even those sorcerers outside would be horrified if they saw me doing this."

Emiya Shirou found it strange. "Why am I surprised? Isn't it quite normal for guests to use energy to restore themselves?"

Yu Meiren suddenly felt that she had grasped a key point.

He's implying I'm an elf!

Only those who have lived a long and knowledgeable life can know the species of their own elf.

In this era, there are only three possibilities: one is an elf, or a fairy, or a vampire monster.

Emiya Shirou, on the other hand, doesn't look like a vampire monster at all.

Yu Meiren's gaze towards Emiya Shirou underwent a subtle change.

The shop is located deep in the mountains, and its interior decoration is out of step with the times.

However, since the other party is not saying anything, Yu Meiren doesn't intend to say anything either; it's enough that everyone knows the truth.

"Hmm, you're right. Could I have another bowl of porridge? How much?"

Emiya Shirou quickly calculated with his fingers and said with a gentle smile, "Only five standard Qin half-ounce coins are needed."

"A bowl of porridge costs five and a half coins?!"

Yu Meiren couldn't help but raise her voice, "This is way too expensive!"

An average person only earns eight and a half taels of silver a day from their labor!

"What's the origin of this porridge? Why is it so expensive?"

Yu Meiren glared angrily, "Even if we're the same kind of people, you can't treat me like this!"

Emiya Shirou thought to himself, "How can this not be expensive? Fifty grams of 5A Kobe beef costs one hundred yuan, and Xiangshui rice is a genuine tribute rice, unlike those flashy products on the market that use the Xiangshui name. Add to that the cost of oil, water, electricity, and labor."

I'm already being very cheap at 200 yuan a bowl.

But does Yu Meiren understand what Shirou Emiya is saying?

Yu Meiren not only doesn't understand, but also doesn't want to understand; she even wants to hit someone right now.

Emiya Shirou could only say, "The ingredients I use are all rare in the world. I believe you have tasted the difference. Even His Majesty the Emperor who unified the six countries could not afford such a bowl of porridge, because such ingredients do not exist in this era."

Yu Meiren was somewhat skeptical, but as Emiya Shirou had said, the rice and beef were indeed impeccable, and their taste was unparalleled.

This porridge should only exist in heaven; how often can one taste it on earth?

Yu Meiren felt relieved. With such ingredients and such flavor, it seemed like it wasn't a bad deal.

And it can also provide me with energy, and I even have a feeling that I have gained something and Shirou Emiya has lost something?

Strictly speaking, the ingredients, water, electricity, and equipment at this restaurant were all provided free of charge. Shirou Emiya's pricing was merely based on standards from his past life and the present. All he truly contributed was his own labor.

Money is useless to a restaurant; the standard for restaurant improvement depends on Shirou Emiya's culinary skills and customer satisfaction.

The restaurant thoughtfully provided Shirou Emiya with a tablet computer, which could reflect changes in Shirou Emiya's cooking skills and customer satisfaction. Shirou Emiya glanced at the screen and found that his beef porridge had a rating of 73%, but Yu Meiren's satisfaction rate reached 92%.

If I were to make another bowl of Yu Meiren now, her satisfaction level would probably skyrocket to 100.

The completion rate of 73% made Shirou Emiya frown. This wouldn't do. It was far from 90%. If the Grand rank required all food items to be above 100, then he was undoubtedly still very weak.

Yu Meiren, on the other hand, also began to mutter to herself.

"The porridge was delicious and seemed to have some magical effects, but it was too expensive. I thought it would only cost a few baht at most, but it turned out to be five and a half liang. And once I leave this shop, will I ever be able to find it again?"

The thought of being surrounded by those idiots again as soon as she stepped out of the store made Yu Meiren want to explode again.

She was also getting tired of this life on the run, unable to communicate with these humans at all. She had told them countless times that she was not a vampire monster.

Are beautiful and immortal beings just blood-sucking monsters? These sorcerers must be out of their minds!

During the reign of King Tang of Shang, I was known as a fairy!

Yu Meiren grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally glared angrily at Emiya Shirou: "Hey, do you think you're the only one running this shop?"

Emiya Shirou replied somewhat strangely, "It just opened today, and I'm the only one here."

Yu Meiren blinked her beautiful brown eyes and came up with an idea.

"Would you be willing to hire me? The price is two meals of porridge a day."

Since you all want to chase me, then I'll find a place to live in seclusion. Once you're all dead, I'll go out and see who can outlast whom!

They get good food and lodging while staying away from these foolish humans – a win-win situation!

This time, it was Emiya Shirou's turn to be dumbfounded.

Having longed to touch Yu for so many years in my past life, has my dream finally come true in this one?

It's updated! It's updated!

Save this post and recommend it! Good luck everyone!

Chapter Four's first employee was extremely irritable.

Emiya Shirou was happy to accept Yu Meiren's suggestion, as the opening of a new store would indeed require manpower.

If it were a beauty like Yu Meiren, that would be even better. Emiya Shirou has a natural affinity and sense of identification with Yu Meiren.

After all, it has the Chinese soul within it, so it naturally has a greater affinity for Chinese people.

Yu Meiren naturally couldn't see through Emiya Shirou's soul. She was still waiting for Emiya Shirou to give her an answer. Although it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, it would be best if Emiya Shirou could agree.

If there's really no other way, I can just continue living my old life. The boredom is only temporary; I'll get used to it.

"What's wrong? Is two bowls of porridge a day too expensive?"

Emiya Shirou quickly shook his head. Expensive? Expensive my foot!

"Well, I'll cover all three meals a day for Miss Yu, as well as provide accommodation and various entertainment. Is that alright with you?"

Yu Meiren didn't care about entertainment; she was more interested in eating three meals a day.

This porridge is so delicious, I could eat it three times a day!

Wow, does this boss even know how to do business?

It's a losing business; it'll probably have to close down sooner or later.

"Three meals a day... isn't that too much?"

Does Yu Meiren feel that three meals a day are not enough?

Indeed, Yu Meiren is an elf after all, and a small bowl of porridge is probably not enough for her to absorb much magic and energy.

How can a good boss treat his employees like this?
