Erina Nakiri didn't feel that Luo Shu was saying bad things about her. After all, she also felt that her mother was a little crazy.
Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri was somewhat worried, and wanted to ask Luo Shu if he had Nakiri Managi's contact information, but in the end she didn't dare to ask more.
It is indeed outrageous that a biological daughter does not have the contact information of her biological mother, but this is exactly what happened to Erina Nakiri.
"Speaking of which, Ms. Managi seems to have changed her contact information recently. Ms. Erina should know about this, right?"
Luo Shu's sudden words stunned Erina Nakiri for a moment, and then her face turned red.
Was she that obvious?
Of course, it was not that she showed it obviously, but before coming, Luo Shu had investigated Nakiri Masagi, and the report included information that she only had ten contacts in her phone.
However, Erina Nakiri was not among these ten people in the report.
"...I don't know about this." Erina Nakiri said with a blushing face.
She felt like a camel with its head buried in the soil. Luo Shu dug a hole and she took the initiative to put her head in.
Seeing Erina Nakiri's delicate look, Luo Shu smiled, opened his phone, opened the address book, and handed it to Erina Nakiri.
"This is your mother's number. Don't worry, I have asked her and I can pass on her phone number. Of course, this is not actually a leak."
"Has Mr. Luo Shu contacted my mother?"
Erina Nakiri quickly memorized the number, took out her cell phone and made a note of it, then asked curiously.
".～ No, I usually contact her superiors, and they said they have done it before, so normally there won't be any problems."
"......"
Erina Nakiri didn't know how to answer.
So you are of the same generation as my mother's boss?
Erina Nakiri finally understood why her grandfather attached so much importance to this banquet.
The man in front of him is indeed a big shot who can stand behind the Nakiri family.
But the most important thing is that he can help me get my mother's contact information!
Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri immediately glanced at her cell phone and a smile appeared on her face.
At the same time, there was a gentle knock on the box door, and then Nakiri Senzaemon and the tall, short-haired man named Dojima Gin who was pushing a food cart walked in.
"Wow, wow, I haven't made a move for many years. I wasted some time. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard and laughed. His whole body was steaming hot and he looked like he had just come out of a sauna.
When he saw the heat coming from Nakiri Senzaemon's body, Luo Shu knew that this old man was probably using qigong to cook.
Luo Shu was somewhat looking forward to this kind of food which he had only seen in movies like The God of Cookery.
At this time, Nakiri Senzaemon looked around at everyone in the box. Nakiri Alice was fine, after all, Fujiwara Toyomi was a sociable person, and even he had heard of her.
But when he saw Erina Nakiri happily holding the phone, Senzaemon Nakiri was stunned for a moment.
What? He had only been out for a short time, less than ten minutes? And his little granddaughter, who he thought was least good at interacting with boys, looked like she had been kidnapped?
What's going on?
Although he was greatly surprised, Nakiri Senzaemon clapped his hands without changing his expression and said:
"Yin, serve the food. Don't keep the guests waiting."
Chapter 327 The Old Man Really Knows How to Have Fun
Luo Shu is not a food critic.
Not only did he know this, but all the adults present were aware of it.
So no one asked him to comment on anything, and the meal went quite harmoniously.
Of course, the food tasted really good, and even a superhuman taste bud like Luo Shu found it very satisfying, but to say that one really had the illusion of eating delicious food was naturally impossible.
After eating and drinking, Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard with a smile and asked Luo Shu:
"Are you satisfied with today's food, Shu-san?"
"The old man really put a lot of thought into today's dishes." Luo Shu wiped the corners of his mouth with a hot towel and glanced at the mostly Chinese dishes on the table.
Half of the table is filled with Huaiyang cuisine, and it seems like it was made for him.
As for the taste, Luo Shu could only say that it was good, but as an outsider, he was not qualified to comment on exactly how good it was.
"Ha ha ha, don't blame me for not serving my specialty, Shu-san."
Nakiri Senzaemon laughed cheerfully. He was good at many kinds of cooking, but he was good at French, Italian and Japanese cuisine. He was also proficient in the eight major cuisines of the Celestial Empire, but he was still not as good as those top state banquet chefs.
"People who eat for free don't have the courage to make suggestions."
Luo Shu joked to himself and squinted his eyes at the burly middle-aged man with short hair who was pushing the food cart and delivering the food:
"This is the old man's disciple, Mr. Dojima Gin, right?"
Before Dojima Gin could say anything, Nakiri Senzaemon said with a smile:
123 "It is this boy. He is my most proud disciple."
After saying that, Nakiri Senzaemon added:
"My old bones can hardly hold a chef's knife these days, so the preparation of this table of dishes is still in the hands of Dojima."
Hearing Nakiri Senzaemon's "praise", Dojima Gin smiled and replied:
"No, the real focus is the chef's cooking method. I just did a little work."
Luo Shu didn't pay attention to the compliments between the master and the disciple. He just held his chin with one hand and looked at Dojima Gin and said:
"You have a very pure aura, Mr. Dojima. It seems that you have inherited the true teachings of Mr. Nakiri."
Although Luo Shu had met few martial artists, their quality was very high.
Regardless of whether it is Biao Wenqi, who has established his own school, or Zao Shen, the head of the Zao family this generation and the holder of Longyan, they are all regarded as masters of martial arts, comparable to great demons who have just entered the heroic level, and are masters who have made great progress in martial arts.
However, compared to those two people, Dojima Gin's aura is relatively purer, even purer than Nakiri Senzaemon.
To put it in simple terms, Luo Shu did not sense any murderous aura from Dojima Gin's aura, that is, something like murderous intent.
The most likely reason for this result is that Dojima Gin regarded martial arts training as a supplement to his cooking skills, and he built a good body purely for the sake of practicing cooking.
"Old Master, are you interested in giving your disciples some extra responsibility?"
Hearing Luo Shu suddenly say this, Nakiri Alice was stunned for a moment.
'The cooperation was finalized so quickly?'
Although being able to participate in the banquet meant that both Luo Shu and Nakiri Senzaemon were willing to cooperate, the fact that they made the decision directly after the meal was something that Nakiri Alice had not expected.
"As expected, when Grandpa takes action, it's basically a sure thing."
On the other hand, Erina Nakiri was not too surprised by this scene.
In Erina Nakiri's opinion, a big part of the reason why the Totsuki Group has been able to prosper in modern times is because Nakiri Senzaemon's cooking skills have won the praise of customers.
As long as it involves cooperation on cooking, it is basically a sure win when the old man takes action.
And in Erina Nakiri's eyes, Luo Shu is another person who was conquered by his grandfather's cooking.
Compared to the active thoughts of his two granddaughters, Nakiri Senzaemon stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"Yin, this kid, really needs to change his environment and exercise."
Normally, Nakiri Senzaemon would need to be more tactful, but since studying the flesh and blood of the great demon was of great significance to a chef like Dojima Gin, Nakiri Senzaemon did not dare to play any tricks of refusing, but took the opportunity to confirm it directly:
"Yin, for the time being, please put aside your duties as the head chef of the palace."
After saying this, Nakiri Senzaemon smiled at Luo Shu and said:
"I will entrust my disciple to you, Minister Luo."
"Grandpa?" Erina Nakiri was stunned upon hearing this.
Cooperation is cooperation, but why did grandpa let the chef of Li Palace leave?
What is this operation?
As the signature restaurant of the Totsuki Group, Totsuki Imperial Palace cannot do without the top chef Gin Dojima.
To put it bluntly, it is still a question whether the elderly Nakiri Senzaemon can defeat the top-notch cooking master Dojima Gin in cooking skills.
How could my grandfather tear down the pillar of our family?
Nakiri Senzaemon winked at Nakiri Erina, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Seeing this, Erina Nakiri suddenly became quiet. Even though she was full of doubts, she didn't dare to ask.
On the other side, after hearing the conversation between Luo Shu and Nakiri Senzaemon, Dojima Gin took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Nakiri Senzaemon:
"Master, thank you for your training."
Finally, Dojima Gin also bowed to Luo Shu:
"Thank you, Minister Luo, for giving me this opportunity."
Seeing that Dojima Ginto happily accepted this matter, Erina Nakiri's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Dojima Gin is a man she thought was basically impossible to beat in terms of cooking skills, but now, he was so excited about the opportunity to leave the palace and research new ingredients.
Could it be that....behind this Minister Luo, there is a cooking training institution that is stronger than the Totsuki Group?
Is it because Dojima-senpai knew this that he was so excited?
Just when Erina Nakiri was full of confusion, Luo Shu said again:
"Since the old man is willing to release even his last disciple, I can't be too stingy."
"Mr. Dojima can definitely set up a new research department to study those new ingredients. Of course, the necessary safety review will be essential in terms of personnel selection."
What this means is that Nakiri Senzaemon can use the quota in this department to do favors and gain new connections for the Nakiri family, and there are not even specific regulations on the number of people.
If this power is used well, it would not be impossible for the Nakiri family to rise to another level.
So when Nakiri Senzaemon heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stroked his beard and said happily:
"I am really flattered by your kindness, Mr. Shu. How about this? I will exchange 3% of the shares of Totsuki Group for you."
Luo Shu was not surprised to see that the way Nakiri Senzaemon addressed him changed from the polite "Shu-san" to the more intimate "Shu-kun". After all, he was very well aware of the appeal of these special ingredients to chefs.
Whether it is improving cooking skills, increasing strength, or expanding influence and gaining profits, this series of things can be rewarded from the research and development of new ingredients.
To put it simply, if you think of the research and development of new food ingredients as the development of elixirs in fairy tales, you will understand the benefits involved.
The most important thing in food material development is 'new ingredients'.
SDS, which controls this point, is the real dominant party.
So Nakiri Senzaemon took out 30% of the shares without hesitation in front of Erina and Alice's shocked gazes. In fact, Nakiri Senzaemon's idea went beyond that.
"Another 15% of the shares will be given as a token of our friendship."
30% plus 15%, this part of shares is the wealth of the Nakiri family privately controlled by Nakiri Senzaemon. In other words, nearly half of the shares are in the hands of SDS.
The old man who has become a spirit, Nakiri Senzaemon, knows very well that if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
If he hadn't taken family ties into consideration and wasn't sure of Luo Shu's personal character, he would have even thought about forming an alliance.
Of course, as the next head of the family, Erina's husband needs to marry into the family, and normally Alice would be asked to arrange the marriage.
But if Luo Shu is a good person and really likes Erina, and they both like each other, it is not impossible for Nakiri Senzaemon to compromise.
As long as one of his great-grandchildren can inherit the Nakiri family name, he can "endure it".
Unfortunately, what Nakiri Senzaemon never expected was that Luo Shu was planning to take them all.
"30% public, 15% personal. This old man really knows how to play."
Luo Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled at Nakiri Senzaemon for a while, then said lightly:
"Just do as the old man wants."
