Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"... Let me announce that the 12-day 'School Festival' begins now!"

In the astonishment of the students under the rostrum, Nakiri Senzaemon announced the content of today's emergency meeting.

The surprise is not that the time has been extended. The official start of the "School Festival" is still only five days away. The reason why it is said to be twelve days is that the preparation time from today is included in it!

In the eyes of the vast majority of students, this is just a "don't care" word game, and they are surprised that the time is too urgent!

Usually, the five-day "School Festival" will start to accept registration half a month in advance, divide the area, and leave time for everyone to prepare the store.

But now it is called "12-day school festival", which is equivalent to reducing the preparation time by half!

It is required to finalize the location of the store and declare the type of store within 48 hours...

For ordinary students, although they are surprised, the time is not too bad, it seems that Kuga Teruji has gone crazy.

"Why is it so early? Why is the 'School Festival' a week earlier this year? Normally, I would declare the store front half a month in advance...Damn it, the time for the store I designed before is a bit tight!" I said for a long time Ji said depressedly.

As the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute, although Liu Maoxing will leave the club this year to open his own restaurant, Liu Maoxing has also read the plan for the simulated hotel of the "Chinese Cuisine Research Institute" that I lead...

That's right, Kuga Teruki wants to build a Chinese-style hotel after the declaration!

Because there is only one floor, and there is no need to lay a foundation, the structure uses wooden tiles as materials and columns to support it. It can be built in about half a month, and it will be quite impressive.

But now... a week is a bit too tight!

Jiuga Zhaoji has already begun to calculate whether it is worthwhile to hire an engineering team from outside.

He doesn't care about money, but all the expenses in the "School Festival" will be recorded by the academy, which will be used as information for calculating costs and revenue in the future, and spending his own money is the same.

Originally, a new restaurant was built with great fanfare, which would be a drag on the cost. If only the people from the club are used, because they will also participate in the store of the club in the future, there is no need to calculate additional labor costs, but if the construction team is hired, I will worry about it for a long time The cost is too high!

"That plan was a bit too extravagant, right? In the end, the ranking was a profit, not a ostentation..." Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

Kuga Teruki is like a child in many ways, and in his eyes, what he sees in the "School Festival" picture is the scenery!

Although the restaurant he built just looks grand because it will not be used for too long, in fact the material cost is not as high as a normal restaurant, but... after all, it is only used for five days!

It is equivalent to adding one-fifth of a simple restaurant to the daily cost, which will undoubtedly greatly drag down the revenue of the "Chinese Cuisine Research Institute".

But there is an advantage, that is, during the "School Festival", when the results are announced every day, only the ranking of the day's turnover is announced, and the operating income minus the cost will be counted at the end.

Jiu I Zhaoji can say that it is entirely for the five consecutive championships in turnover, and I don't care about the amount of revenue.

Of course, the bottom line is that negative numbers cannot appear, otherwise you will be expelled from school.

Usually, as long as you don't die, normal people will not be in deficit in the "School Festival"! Even if it's trash, as long as you pretend to be dead and don't apply for a store, you can be a customer honestly...

However, Liu Maoxing knew that this was not absolute. For example, in the original plot, the little princes who committed suicide all ran into deficits a few days ago!

For example, in order to compete with Jiuwo, Chuangzhen chose the location of the store next to Jiuwo's ​​hotel, and competed with Jiuwo in the form of a cart-style mobile booth. As a result, the revenue was in the red for the first few days, until the last day the turnover exceeded Jiuwo. , and barely evened out the deficit in total revenue...

There are also Alice and Kurokiba, because Alice misremembered the registration time and did not have her own store, so she went to squeeze a store with Ryo Hayama. As a result, this store gathered the absolute elite of the year, and because of the use of the highest technology The equipment, the most expensive seafood and spices, the result is a deficit in revenue on the first day...

Here we can also see the restrictions of the rules... Even if you use personal equipment, it will be included in the cost! However, it is only calculated according to the rental cost, and the purchase cost of those equipment will not be evenly spread over just five days.

Liu Maoxing was going to fight against the so-called "alchemist" who was best at performance management, Ruishan Zhijin, so naturally he couldn't make such a low-level mistake, otherwise he would definitely play himself to death!

For others, they won't drop out of school if they don't run into a deficit, but for Liu Maoxing, they must defeat Ruishan Zhijin...

After the sudden announcement was over, Erina came over, and said to Liu Maoxing meaningfully: "It's really weird! I didn't even know the news before, and the 'School Festival' is coming suddenly? In name Or start today?"

"Yes, yes... Hahaha, it was so sudden." Liu Maoxing acted like I was pretending to be stupid, and the little secretary on the other side couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's okay! Ms. Erina, I've already made reservations..." Fei Shazi lowered her voice as she spoke, obviously realizing that her way of changing the subject was not clever.

I have been worrying about the shop of the "Chinese Cuisine Research Institute" for a long time. During the "School Festival", Liu Maoxing can only be the shopkeeper and busy with his own affairs. Now only Yu Mei is by my side.

"Yu Mei, what's the matter?" Erina suddenly asked.

Back then, Yu Mei was also Erina's "horse boy". The reason why she robbed the land of the "Donburi Research Institute" was also because of Erina's instigation. She even admired Erina and coveted the position of the little secretary.

But almost a year has passed, and Yu Mei has already transferred her admiration, or another kind of affection, to Liu Maoxing. Instead, because of some scandals, she didn't have a good impression of Erina, and she didn't answer directly when she heard the words. He raised his nose and snorted softly.

Erina was taken aback when she saw this, and then realized that the relationship between Yu Mei and Liu Maoxing... seemed to have thought of some bad idea again, saying that she wanted Yu Mei to do her a favor, and then dragged Yu Mei to leave involuntarily.

With Yu Mei's strange power, it was impossible for Erina to be able to pull it, but Yu Mei obviously had feelings for Erina whom she once admired that were not limited to rivals in love. After being pulled by Erina, she was stunned and followed walked over.

"Hey, I still need Yu Mei's help for the 'School Festival', so don't compete with me!" Liu Maoxing said hastily.

Liu Maoxing has already confirmed the list of three non-ten outstanding support staff!

"Don't worry, I'll let her go back this afternoon!" Erina said without turning her head.

Although he didn't know what Erina was doing with Yu Mei, even Liu Maoxing felt that her smile was a little "weird" when she left, but seeing that she put aside her doubts for a while and stopped asking about the advance of the "School Festival", she went with her.

After all, although Liu Maoxing didn't know the details, he could guess that Nakiri Ji was doing something again, that's why the commander-in-chief forced the "School Festival" to freeze Ruishan's ten outstanding functions...

Of course, it's just freezing, if he loses... Thinking of this, Liu Maoxing couldn't help shaking his head vigorously! Dropping out of school is not as unacceptable to him as before. Although according to the bet he made with Ruishan at the beginning, if he loses, he will have to work for him for ten years. It doesn't matter if the Yuanyue family is blacklisted, after all, only the Yuanyue family admits to this kind of mandatory bet.

If it is in an island country, there is no corner in the culinary world that cannot be influenced by the Yuanyue family, and it also has a "certain influence" in the world, but Liu Maoxing now finds that the Liu family's thighs are also very thick, and they are not like Yuanyue at all. Tie……

But even so, Liu Maoxing didn't think he had a way out. Looking at the back of Erina leaving, Liu Maoxing secretly clenched his fists, and made an oath in his heart that he would never let Nina cut Ji hurt her again!

"Liu Maoxing, you said before that you invited me to open a shop at the 'School Festival' together?"

"Commander, has our location been decided? Is it in the corridor area, the central area or the high platform area?"

At this moment, two figures also walked behind Liu Maoxing. They were the other two assistants that Liu Maoxing had decided on after thinking for a long time!

The shadow of one of them, as he approached, enveloped Liu Maoxing's whole body. "One of the soon-to-be trump cards, the "iron-handed fire dragon" Miyoko Hojo who is also good at Chinese cuisine.

"Of course, let's go and confirm the location now! In the afternoon, we will go buy the materials for building the booth, and start working tomorrow!"

Liu Maoxing turned around as he spoke, and couldn't help grinning slightly after seeing Subaru Misaku...

Although it is not the first time to see his new look, every time Liu Maoxing sees it, he wants to greet Subaru Misaku's hair stylist. How did Subaru Misaka offend him?

Subaru, who originally had a capable "Li Dazui hairstyle", began to grow his hair after losing to Liu Maoxing. It was not obvious during the autumn qualifiers, but now he has flowing hair with shoulders...

If his image were a little better, in fact, this kind of elegant hairstyle is quite popular, but with Misaku Subaru's old and rough facial features...it's really unbearable to look at!

A while ago, Misaku Subaru tied her long hair into a ponytail, but now she just let it loose on her shoulders, and only tied it up when cooking. Every time Liu Maoxing saw it, she would complain...

However, using Subaru Misaku's "tracking" ability can almost double his efficiency, so Liu Maoxing told him a long time in advance that he would come to help during the "School Festival", and Miyoko Kitajo is also good at Chinese cuisine. It is easy to integrate into the team and was also included in the list by Liu Maoxing!

Coupled with Mito Yumei who was taken away by Erinai, this is the lineup Liu Maoxing is preparing to face Ruishan...

As for the advance of the school festival, Liu Maoxing wasn't worried either. Although Ruishan had obviously calculated it, he had also considered the necessary one-week preparation time to enter, and ordered the impromptu last day of the "school festival" Just happened to be the first day of the original plan!

At this time, Liu Maoxing was relieved. Fortunately, he finally asked the Liu family to help him contact the Dragon Chef Alliance. Ruishan couldn't have imagined that he could change the date of his personal star rating at any time within a certain range!
