An old man handed over the bill.
"There's something wrong with this bill." Just as Yushan Kazuto was about to pay, Doma Mai suddenly said.
The old man immediately turned his gaze to Tsuchiya, and his sharp eyes made Tsuchiya take a step back.
But she still spoke up: "It's obviously 28,800 yen for one guest, why is it 66,600 yen for two guests?"
"This is the rule of our shop, please don't make any comments. If you two pay separately, you can pay 28,800 yen in two payments," said the old man.
Doma Umi looked at Hayama Kazuto again. Hayama Kazuto seemed to have known the habits of this store for a long time and nodded to Doma Umi.
"What kind of rules are these?" Tsuchimura pouted and looked to the side. Yushan Kazuto swiped his card to pay and chose a seat to sit down with Tsuchimura.
The furnishings in the store were a bit old, but still fairly tidy. Doma sat in his seat, but still felt a little unhappy.
"Still thinking about what happened just now." Yushan Heren asked with a smile.
"Mayumi-chan, that's all." Mayumi-chan blinked and said.
"I also felt it was a bit strange when I first came here." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"But later I found out that the 28,800 yen for a single customer was actually a special price for lonely people."
"The owner of this restaurant is actually an autistic person. In order to increase the chances of communicating with others, he chose to open a restaurant."
"But what I didn't expect was that even after opening the restaurant, the owner still had very little communication with the customers. Instead, once he opened his mouth, the stumbling sound would easily scare away the customers."
"The owner gradually fell silent and slowly walked into the kitchen. He then realized that as a chef, communicating with ingredients is far more wonderful than communicating with people."
"Later, the owner's cooking skills became very good and he became a famous chef. Many media and programs wanted to interview the owner, but he felt overwhelmed."
"Many people claim that he is a lonely food writer and a treasure given by God. But only he himself knows that his
How much effort I put in to become a good chef.”
"He became famous, but his troubles also increased. Although his original intention of opening the store was to get rid of loneliness, in the process of opening the store, he began to enjoy loneliness."
"Later, he moved the store from the open commercial area to this alley, away from the hustle and bustle, to study cooking alone, and set a rule that it is cheaper to dine alone."
"So it's not that dining for two is more expensive, it's that dining alone is cheaper."
Hayama Kazuto explained.
Doma Mai listened and couldn't help blinking: "But, for a place like this, I'm afraid few people would come here alone."
"Indeed, this goes against the owner's original intention, but the authenticity of the story is still guaranteed." Yushan Heren smiled.
"Does this restaurant...usually have many customers?" Doma Mai looked around. If the owner of this restaurant really had outstanding cooking skills, there should be more customers coming and going.
"There are more people on weekdays and weekends, but fewer people during the winter vacation." The old man who was watching the store came over, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
Although the story of the store is basically known to everyone who has been to this store, this is the first time that an old man has seen the story explained directly in the store, even though he has been working in this store for more than 20 years.
"Little guy, I don't remember seeing you before. How did you know about this store?"
Chapter 788 Let’s Fight! Steak Challenge!
"The last time I came here was almost ten years ago. I was only six or seven years old. It's normal that you don't remember it." Yushan Heren smiled.
This restaurant mainly serves regular customers, and because the prices are relatively high, most of the customers are middle class or above.
These people come from all over the country and basically return to their hometowns during the winter vacation. Although there are many local people in Tokyo, they rarely go out to find food during the winter vacation, so business is a little slow.
"So your memory is not bad." The old man said slowly.
Yushan Kazuto just smiled and didn't answer.
……
The steak was served quickly, grilled in the traditional Japanese way over charcoal, accompanied by several side dishes and two cups of barley tea.
Although this restaurant does not provide alcohol, it at least ensures that the guests have basic water needs.
After taking a sip, Yushan Kazuto was ready to eat. The steak was not large in portion, but it was pure A5 grade Wagyu beef with dense marble patterns that made people salivate.
It is worth mentioning that Japanese Wagyu cattle are allowed to be injected with hormones to allow fat deposition. Even so, beef of grades A4 and A5 is very rare.
But the Wagyu beef in this restaurant is different. The Wagyu beef in this restaurant is purely raised and bred. To use Hearthstone as an example, if ordinary Wagyu beef is legendary beef, then the Wagyu beef in this restaurant is golden legendary!
Among the regular customers of the restaurant, there is a person from Kobe. His family specializes in raising Wagyu beef, and these steaks are also provided by that regular customer.
Of course, friendship is friendship, but money still needs to be paid. This small piece of Wagyu beef alone cost the restaurant more than 20,000 yen, and the other side dishes also use top-quality ingredients. If a single customer comes to consume, the restaurant will even lose money.
Seeing Yushan Kazuto preparing to pick up his chopsticks, Tsuchima Mai hurriedly said, "Scumbag senior, how about we play a game?"
Hayama Kazuto tilted his head and looked at Doma Mai: "Let's have dinner, what games are we playing?"
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. The bet is this steak!" Doma Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto and said with a smile.
"Bet on steak?" Yushan Kazuto blinked.
"It sounds interesting. Tell me the specific rules."
Yushan Kazuto was just complaining that a small piece of steak was not enough! Unfortunately, each diner in this restaurant can only order one meal at most, and no more. This is also the rule set by the weird owner.
"We divide a steak into eight portions, and decide the winner of a portion by playing rock-paper-scissors each time. If you win, Komari will feed you one portion. If Komari wins, the scumbag senior will feed me one portion." said Tsuchiya.
"Hey, they have to feed each other." Yushan Heren blinked, feeling that something was not right.
"What's wrong? This is how you'll feel like a winner!" Domama Yui raised her voice.
"It's completely different to pick it up and eat it yourself, and to have the loser pick it up and give it to the winner to taste!"
Listening to Doma Yui's persuasive and twisted logic, Yushan Kazuto actually felt that it seemed to make some sense.
"Then let's do as you say." Yushan Heren said.
The two of them divided the steak into eight portions each, placed them on the hot plate in the middle, and brought out several small plates filled with various sauces.
"Well, let's start now." Tsuchima raised her little fist and prepared to start.
"let's start."
"rock-paper-scissors!"
Yushanheren produced stone, and Tujian produced cloth, so Tujian won.
"Hehe, scumbag senior, I'll accept the first piece of steak." Doma Mai said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of steak: "What kind of sauce do you want?"
"Miso barbecue sauce, please." said Doma.
Yushan Kazuto dipped the beef in the sauce and put it into Domama's already open mouth. To be honest, he felt a little aching in his heart.
Domama took a bite and it seemed as if the tip of her teeth had knocked against the chopsticks.
The beef melts in your mouth, and the flavor of the barbecue sauce explodes on your tongue.
"It's delicious." Doma Mai said vaguely while tasting the beef. She glanced at Yushan Kazuto while speaking. It was obvious that she was showing off!
"This may be the last piece of beef we eat tonight." Yushan Heren said harshly.
"I'm going to eat the second piece right away." Domama continued to speak vaguely, and she did not give in at all when it came to making threats.
She chewed slowly and finished her meal, then got ready for the rock-paper-scissors game again.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
Both of them played with stones, and all the harsh words they said before the game were ineffective.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
"Scumbag senior, how can there be someone like you who dropped stones three times in a row!" complained Tsuchima Mai.
"You didn't win three times in a row even though you dropped three rocks in a row." Yushan Heren blinked, "I don't want any sauce, just sprinkle some pepper and salt on me."
Domama blinked, picked up a very small spoon, and sprinkled salt and pepper on a piece of steak.
Yushan Heren opened his mouth and waited for the steak to arrive. He never thought that he would be able to wait until the day when food would come.
Doma Mai glanced at Hayama Kazuto, and reluctantly handed over a piece of steak and put it into Hayama Kazuto's mouth.
Compared to the steak he had eaten ten years ago, this steak seemed to be more delicious. Yushan Kazuto didn't know whether this was due to the changes in the breeding methods of Wagyu cattle in the past ten years.
Is it that the style of the dish has been improved, or that the owner’s cooking skills have improved, or both?
Yushan Kazuto was savoring it carefully, while Doma Mai, who was sitting opposite him, pouted her lips and looked at Yushan Kazuto with resentment in her eyes.
"Umaru-chan, I guess you will use scissors next time. Do you believe it?" Yushan Kazuto suddenly said after eating.
"Ah..." Tsuchima was shocked. How did Yushan Kazuto guess what she would come up with next?
Seeing that Hayama Kazuto won three consecutive games with stones, Doma Yui also wanted to try a repeated method.
"I wouldn't be as stupid as you, the scumbag senior, and make the same thing over and over again!" Realizing that her thoughts were seen through by Yushan Kazuto, Doma Mai hurriedly said.
"Really?" Yushan Kazuto smiled, "Let's get started."
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
Rock vs Scissors!
Yushan and others still produce stones!
Tsuchiya's expression was a little dull. Before throwing the punch, she had thought of countless possibilities, and finally felt that it would be more appropriate to use an anti-logical approach.
Since you think I can use scissors, then I will use them for you.
However, she did not expect that Yushan Heren predicted her prediction and countered her anti-logic.
"Hehe, I guessed it right." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"This time, the scumbag senior wants nothing from me." Doma said, puffing out his cheeks.
"Let's have the original barbecue sauce." Yushan Kazuto originally wanted to try the salt and pepper sauce, but after thinking about it, it would be nice to try a different flavor.
Chapter 789: The next three times, I will play the stone
After a while, there were only three pieces of beef left on the hot plate. Of the first thirteen pieces of beef, Yushan Kazuto ate ten, while Doma Mai only ate three.
Seeing that Tsuchima Yui was not convinced, Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but smile: "Umaru-chan, I will use stones for the next three times, believe it or not."
Although Yushan Kazuto still felt a little unsatisfied, he had to be a little humble after all he was taking Komari out today.
But when Tsuchima looked at Yushan Kazuto's expression, she didn't quite believe it: "I won't let the scumbag senior give in!"
I silently calculated in my mind:
[The scumbag senior said he would choose rock, which was to induce Koumaro to choose paper, so what he really wanted to choose should be scissors! Koumaro just needs to choose rock. ]
[No, no, with the scumbag senior's scheming, it is impossible for him not to guess that Koumaro will use rock to overwhelm his scissors, and will definitely use paper to win over rock! Humph, scumbag senior, your thoughts have been completely seen through by Koumaro! ]
[But if Koumaro can guess this, there is no reason why the scumbag senior can't guess it. His real purpose may be to return to the stone and use it to suppress Koumaro's scissors. ]
After thinking about it, Doma Mai felt that her head was about to explode, but she still couldn't guess what Yushan Kazuto was thinking.
[Forget it, forget it, just do whatever you want! ]
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
Seeing Tsuchima Yui making a "three" gesture with three fingers raised, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink: "Is that scissors or paper?"
"It's nothing. Koumeiro made a mistake accidentally." Koumeiro said with a blushing face.
Who would say "three" when playing rock-paper-scissors?
"Then let's start over again. I'll still play the stone." Yushan Heren blinked and said.
Doma Yui looked at Yushan Kazuto. She didn't expect that Yushan Kazuto had just played the stone. In other words, as long as she played the paper, she would win.
[The scumbag senior was honest once, but he won’t be honest a second time. This time, Umaru-chan will be random again! ]
Tujian Mei said secretly in his heart.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
Rock vs. Scissors, Kazuto Hayama wins!
"Black pepper sauce, thank you for your help." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
Although he was willing to give in, if Tsuchiya Mai didn't believe him, he could only accept the steak.
Doma puffed up his cheeks and fed the steak into Yushan Kazuto's mouth. He couldn't help but snorted as he saw Yushan Kazuto deliberately slow down his chewing speed.
