Eternal food paradise

"open!"

[Congratulations, you got "Dragon Coffee Bean" (unlock card). 】

"Open again!"

[Congratulations, you got "Athelia Fruit" (unlock card). 】

Xia Yan:? ? ?

In one breath, two gold treasure chests were opened with ingredient cards. Was it good luck or was it because of bad luck?

"Exotic ingredients from unknown worlds (unexplored planes)."

Both of the two ingredient cards have the same information.

Xia Yan tried to use the card, and after a "ding" unlocking sound effect, two new shiny grids were added to the system store interface.

Note that the grid position is in the same order as "Carnivorous Vine" and "Elven Mushroom", instead of being in a higher position alongside the "Transforming Sea Spirit's Complete Eyeball" item.

This is enough to illustrate the quality of the new food items——

‘Magic level’!

Seeing that the exchange medium was a gold coin universally used in other worlds, Xia Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he wanted to use the 'currency' of an unknown world, it would be no different from extracting waste.

At the very least, the ‘material library’ has been enriched again!

"The last treasure chest."

Xia Yan gently clicked on the void interface again.

Bang, the third treasure box opened, and a recipe for Yaoguang quickly slipped into Xia Yan's eyebrows before he could react:

""Hot Spring Egg Mansion"?"

"What, there are two types of food requirements, the ordinary type... they are eggs, cheese, olive oil, red pepper powder..."

"Strange... uh, monster bird eggs? Monster eyes?!"

Xia Yan roughly sorted out the recipe information, and suddenly a black line came over him.

It's just a bird egg, a complete 'monster eyeball', uncut, thrown on the plate of the so-called "Hot Spring Egg Mansion", just like the painting style of the famous dark cuisine "Looking Up at the Starry Sky".

Famous paintings of dark cuisine.

Huge eyeballs on egg rolls and broken eggs?

Full of horror!

However, after seeing more detailed recipe information, the system not only showed that the recipe contained two indices/characteristics: [Darkness] and [Magic], but also gave a specific evaluation——

‘Lin’!

A new recipe for Double Strength Po Lin.

Xia Yan chose to keep her mouth shut: "Well, what about that, that's fine."

…

In the hot summer, Totsuki Academy is in a relatively quiet period during the summer. Most of the second-year and third-year students choose to leave school for internships. Only a very small number of first-year students stay in school to prepare for the "autumn selection" next semester.

And set his sights beyond Totsuki, to the wider Tokyo.

On this day, a new store called "Dark Castle" was quietly launched on many popular food travel APP software.

You can make a reservation on the store page, single or multi-person, and the estimated cost is 50,000 yen per person.

The price of this meal is terrifying.

You know, the average price per person at a chain conveyor belt sushi restaurant is only one thousand yen. For Italian restaurants and French restaurants, for four to five thousand yen, you can get a very good set meal, and even worse, there is barbecue. Shop, all you can eat under 10,000 yen.

So it is conceivable that the newly launched new restaurant called "Dark Castle" did not receive any dining reservations from customers on the first day of business.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the restaurant introduction is too simple:

"We are a restaurant that specializes in 'dark cuisine' and only sell dishes that are unique, have a strong personality and a distinctive style."

Nani?

What kind of stupid copywriting is this? It's a bland statement with no emotion and no real character. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the terrible per capita meal price.

And at this moment, ‘Dark Castle’.

The first rotating chef, a well-known graduate from Yuanyue, Mujiuzhi Yuanguo, was bored, scrolling through the group chat panel to watch the graduates, chatting with each other.

She is a graduate of the 89th class. In other words, in the circle of graduates, she is the kind of junior who is at the bottom and has no say.

But who would have thought that such a graduate with the least status would actually become the first rotating chef. Not only did he successfully pass the assessment of the "God's Tongue" examiner, he would also be the first to take over the rotating task within the group.

Dudu, Taki Kadozaki, the 88th graduate, suddenly sent a private message to Kikuchi Sono:

"All the graduates are talking about you, busty monster, you are so popular!"

"correct."

"This is your first day on duty. Did you meet any interesting guests?"

Mujiu Zhiyuanguo: "..."

He moved his eyes away from the chat interface and looked around the entire store.

Because it was renovated from a villa or annex-style building, the lobby on the ground floor is a large store with two rows of European-style tables and chairs. Going up the stairs, you can see the second floor of the restaurant. There are also tables and chairs above, but There are hollow partitions between each table, and the tabletops have quite exquisite decorations.

There are still stairs on the second floor, but going up again is the VIP room.

In the corner, a team brought by Kiku Chiengo, including two trained young waitresses and two experienced chefs she trusted, stood or sat, chatting in low voices from time to time. He lowered his head to check his phone again.

Bored, bow-headed people.

Anyway.

The style of duty on the first day is probably like this.

Listening to his friend's talk about today's work, graduate Taki Kadozaki was shocked: "What, the average meal price per person is 50,000 yen?!"

Kiku Chiengo explained: "This is based on the price list of Senior Shinomiya."

"That doesn't make sense."

"That annex is barely comparable to the ancient building specifications of some private 'restaurants', but as far as I know, the special chefs who are in charge of those restaurants are extremely famous and highly sought after in the upper class circles. They are only available by appointment." You can wait in line for a month or two, so that’s how you have the courage to set such an outrageous price, right?”

Kadozaki Taki expressed doubts.

Moreover, Kadozaki Taki knew about Mikushi Engo and mastered the recipes of "Three-Egg Shaomai", "Baoshan Feilong Hotpot", and "Gokuji Shrimp Soup with Meat Soup", so he passed the harsh review of the lady with the divine tongue.

As for the 'dark' element in the review criteria, Taki Kadozaki is still confused, otherwise she would be the first rotating chef, not the big-breasted monster, ahem...

Tsk, that woman's heart is indeed dark, otherwise she would not understand the so-called "darkness" so quickly, far ahead of other graduates.

"Um?!"

Kadozaki Taki suddenly realized a serious problem:

"Hey, busty monster, did Shinomiya-senpai provide all the ingredients?"

"Why do you ask that?" Mujiuzhienguo expressed confusion, "The team asked us to bring our own ingredients, and of course we also brought our own ingredients...ah!"

Her words suddenly stopped.

"It should be said that most of the ingredients are used. Senior Shinomiya just sent an ingredient box this morning. There are some in it. Well, in short, it is quite special. Each dish has a strict usage amount."

"For example?" Kadozaki Taki's voice was tight.

“For example, the ‘crab roe’ fillings in the sandwich of a cage of shaomai must be mixed thoroughly with one or two spoonfuls of kiwi jam in advance.”

"A large pot of wild vegetable chowder, calculated per person, each person will be counted as a special 'mushroom'."

"Ah, there is also shrimp soup and meat soup. The dried meat is measured with an electronic scale, accurate to every gram."

…

Ding!

On the first day of operation, at eight o'clock in the evening, the new restaurant finally welcomed its first customer who made a reservation and came to the door.

However, after discovering that the guest was graduate Taki Kadozaki, Kazuo Kikushi, who was the rotating chef this time, couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of surprise on his face: "Chef Kadozaki, what are you..."

Taki Kadozaki sat directly at the dining table as soon as he entered, with excitement that could not be concealed on his face, "My main store just closed, so I rushed over right away."

Mikyu Chienguo thought of this "guest"'s afternoon appointment time, wasn't it the same time he had just had a private chat with her.

The chat has just ended, are you ready to make an appointment and place an order?
