Since that day when he invited Seiya to go to Totsuki Culinary Academy together without success, Soma Yukihira went to Totsuki Culinary Academy alone to participate in the entrance examination.
Afterwards, Seiya received a message from him on his phone that evening.
Soma Yukihira said that he almost failed the entrance examination this time because he encountered a very troublesome blonde character.
However, after some twists and turns, he was able to successfully enter the school and even entered a very interesting dormitory.
Seiya hadn't watched much of Food Wars!, and because too much time had passed, he had forgotten most of it.
However, the "blonde character" mentioned in Soma Yukihira's message, if he remembered correctly, should be Erina Nakiri, who possesses the "God Tongue".
In Food Wars!, there are some gifted people who have senses beyond ordinary people, and Erina Nakiri, who possesses the "God Tongue", is one of these geniuses.
It is said that this witch with the extraordinary sense of taste, the "God Tongue", complained that her mother's milk was too bland when she first spoke.
Seiya didn't know what kind of ability the so-called "God Tongue" was, but he felt that his excellent dynamic vision was somewhat similar to the so-called "God Eye" in this world.
Moreover, since the worldviews of Food Wars! and Cooking Master Boy have merged, perhaps the legendary cooking utensils in the Cooking Master Boy world also exist.
If the divine senses and other talents can be regarded as god-level, then the legendary cooking utensils should be called artifacts in this world.
Soma Yukihira has already entered his exclusive dungeon, Totsuki Culinary Academy. Seiya has also been thinking recently about whether he should go back to his hometown. Maybe he can get some artifacts or secret techniques from the old guys in the Chinese culinary world.
"Seiya, what are you daydreaming about? Is this fried rice ready yet? If you slack off like this, the customers will complain."
Seiya's thoughts were interrupted by Minezaki, who spoke from the side. After complaining to Seiya, she deftly shoveled all the fried rice in the pan into an empty plate.
During this summer vacation when Soma Yukihira went to Totsuki Culinary Academy for the examination, Minezaki has been able to successfully assist Seiya under his training.
To Seiya's surprise, Minezaki's cooking talent is quite good. Perhaps because she had worked as a handyman in a restaurant before, her foundation is quite solid.
In just one month, Minezaki has mastered several of the restaurant's home-style dishes. Although her skills are not comparable to Seiya's now, they are enough to entertain the current customers.
Because Soma Yukihira went to Totsuki Culinary Academy, the Yukihira restaurant next door was naturally closed, which led to Seiya's restaurant's business becoming better than before.
The business in the store has become better, but Seiya is not happy at all, because he has little interest in expanding the business and only wants to maintain a normal level of mediocrity to avoid being beaten by his mother when she returns.
Because business is too good, their business hours have been reduced again and again. It's okay not to do business during the evening peak, but they can't open in the morning and start closing in the middle of the day, right?
With no other way, Seiya can only raise the prices of the dishes on the original menu in order to reduce the number of customers.
But to Seiya's surprise, this approach only had a certain effect in the first few days. After a few days, the old customers scolded him, but they still patronized as usual.
Seeing that raising prices didn't work, Seiya quickly came up with other crooked ideas such as limiting the number of customers and limiting the quantity of dishes sold each day. In short, the main idea was not to make himself too tired.
However, soon, Minezaki couldn't stand Seiya's many outrageous operations.
Everyone else hopes that the business in the store will get better and better, striving to expand and become stronger, but why does their boss keep making bad moves, as if he can't wait for the store to close down as soon as possible?
At first, Seiya raised the prices of the dishes and launched a limited-edition sale. Minezaki thought that Seiya wanted to take the high-end route, but after that, Seiya's operations became more and more outrageous, such as only receiving male customers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and only receiving female customers on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Or only opening in the morning on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and only opening in the afternoon on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In short, he did whatever came to his mind.
So, in the end, Minezaki, who couldn't stand it anymore, directly took over the management power from Seiya and officially carried out a wave of management reforms to the Wenren Restaurant.
Compared with the original Wenren Restaurant, the current Wenren Restaurant can be said to have been completely renewed in just one month.
Although the store size is still the same, the original old tables, chairs, and environment have now been redecorated and designed.
The current restaurant's cuisine is divided into two grades. The store's regular dishes are now generally cooked by Minezaki, while the high-end customized dishes are cooked by Seiya.
Seiya had no objection to Minezaki's management and reforms of the store, nor did he choose to interfere.
Because in his opinion, he originally wanted her to help manage the restaurant by paying her an extra 10% of the restaurant's shares.
Moreover, Seiya is quite satisfied with Minezaki's management reforms, because he only needs to be responsible for customized dishes now, so the workload is indeed much easier, and the store's revenue has been soaring day by day.
It has to be said that Minezaki's previous management experience as a senior executive in a company was not learned in vain. At least in Seiya's opinion, it's simply too worthwhile to hire her with 10% of the store's revenue.
In Minezaki's opinion, looking at the ever-increasing turnover every day, as well as the customers who come by word of mouth, she is also becoming more and more fulfilled.
Although Seiya is too lazy, his cooking skills are really unquestionable. The better the business in the store, the happier Minezaki is. After all, she not only has 10% of the shares in this restaurant, but may also become the mistress here in the future.
More than a month has passed, and Seiya and Minezaki are now able to get along quite naturally. During this time, Minezaki has not only improved her cooking skills, but also her ability to imagine things.
In her opinion, Seiya's complete delegation of power to her is to recognize her as the mistress here.
However, what makes Minezaki feel a little depressed is that Seiya has not launched any substantial attacks on her in the past month or so.
Minezaki undoubtedly has a good impression of Seiya. After all, he is not only young and handsome, but also the one who helped her when she was most helpless.
Living under the same roof for more than a month, Minezaki originally thought that their relationship could have a little substantive breakthrough. She even stopped locking the door when she took a bath and went to bed at night, just waiting for Seiya's "attack", but what about the result? He was simply too well-behaved!
