Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"I would like to inform all the diners that as of 21:00, the business hours of the first day of today's school festival will end here. Guests are requested to leave in an orderly manner, and there will be service personnel to guide you to take a special bus and pick you up to the hotel where you are staying. rest."

At exactly 21:00, the announcement of the end of business on the first day sounded throughout the college.

But in the "Liu Shui Pavilion", Liu Maoxing saw that there were many guests around, so he couldn't help thinking: Sure enough, chairs and such are superfluous!

Indeed, there is no space or time to sit down, even if everyone has been around the "canal"...

At the same time, Liu Maoxing also greeted: "Everyone, come on, finish cooking all the remaining ingredients!"

Although the business hours are over, the exit time is not so tight. Liu Maoxing simply provided some "Fake Four Gods and Eight Treasures Seafood Soul-Suppressing Steamed Buns" and "Golden Smile" without cooking heart for free.

After all, it is only in the central area, 5,000 yen per share, and Liu Maoxing set it as three shrunken buns, which is already the maximum, and if it is too small, people from the Food Halberd Administration Bureau will probably have to correct it.

Because there are still some pre-processed ingredients left, they won’t be stored until tomorrow, and throwing them away will also take up the same cost, so Liu Maoxing simply gave them away for nothing...

If you really run a store, if you do this, some people may be greedy and don't come to patronize, but come to wait for the "gift" when the store is closed.

But now it's just a mock operation after all, the guests who come here are all invited by Yuanyue, it's impossible to have such a shameless person, since that's the case, Liu Maoxing doesn't care about delaying for a while...

As for why give it away for nothing? Because after 21:00, the collected tokens will not be counted in the turnover...

At 9:20, all the pre-processed ingredients have been processed into finished products, and they are given to the guests who have waited in line for a long time but have not received the food.

One steamed bun per person, so that everyone will not wait in vain.

"Hey, I feel more and more that the restrictions set by Chief Jingpu back then have actually restricted our 'Liu Shui Pavilion'... Today's customers are basically queuing around all the time. As long as there are bamboo boats in the canal, there will be people immediately. Take it away. It would be great if there were more people to help!" Hojo said a little depressed.

Liu Maoxing, however, can take it seriously: "How can we take all the good things? If there is really no limit on the number of people, it is possible for Ruishan to occupy half of the 'Central District', and even chain stores to open all three districts..."

Liu Maoxing also washed his hands while speaking, and looked at the index finger and middle finger of his right hand with some distress... six hours! Liu Maoxing couldn't help but thought to himself: I have to try my left hand tomorrow to see if I can use the "Hand of Eagle" ability.

After washing his hands, Liu Maoxing walked over to Erina and the others. Erina and Fei Shazi were around all day long, and the people from Jixingliao, as well as Aldi, who was more familiar with Liu Maoxing, were also in their respective rooms. Came over after the shop closed, discussing excitedly about Liu Maoxing's "two-star chef" certification in the afternoon.

However, Erina didn't seem to have the character to discuss with other people, and she sat quietly on the side at this time, keeping a certain distance from other people.

Sometimes even if she wanted to say something, she retreated in the end, only Fei Shazi was by her side.

"Why don't you go there, how lively is it over there?" Liu Maoxing's voice suddenly sounded, making Erina jump.

But Erina reacted, and immediately said arrogantly: "Tch! What is there to discuss with them!"

Liu Maoxing originally wanted to preach, but seeing that Erina's face was also tired, knowing that since the "Liu Shui Pavilion" officially opened in the afternoon, although she did not play the role of "propaganda" as originally expected, she has been with Fei Shazi, Consciously or unintentionally guiding order...

Because they are not members of "Liu Shui Ting", they can only use some "talking to themselves" or "suggestion" to maintain order, otherwise, Liu Maoxing and the others will all focus on cooking, and "Liu Shui Ting" will be in chaos long ago.

It's not that Ruishan couldn't think of this method, but ordinary students. If it's not a staff member, why should those guests accept his "self-talk" and "hints"?

And once the tone is too tough, showing that he is a staff member, the people from the Food Halberd Administration will immediately "blew the whistle"...

Erina is one of the Ten Masters and the granddaughter of Nakiri Senzaemon, so of course she is different from an "ordinary student".

Perhaps the other ten heroes can barely do it, but Ruishan's face is not enough for the other ten heroes to be him as "plain clothes"!

Not to mention Ruishan, even Nakiri thistle...

"By the way, Fei Shazi, is there something wrong with my 'Eagle Hand'? Why did you have such a weird expression before?" Liu Maoxing raised his right hand as he spoke, moving his two fingers.

Fei Shazi's face turned red in an instant. If she hadn't seen Liu Maoxing's puzzled expression, she would have suspected that this guy was teasing her on purpose!

At the same time, Fei Shazi was also secretly disturbed, wondering if he was so obvious at the time? He even discovered Liu Maoxing who was in the assessment?

In fact, it's really not obvious. If Liu Maoxing hadn't comprehended "Food Control", I'm afraid he wouldn't have discovered it.

"I, I... what... the Eagle Hand's..."

Just when Fei Shazi didn't know how to speak, it was half past nine, and the college announced the ranking of today's turnover after sorting out on time!

Because Liu Maoxing is going to conduct the "two-star chef" assessment suddenly, although the guests have watched the excitement, so they don't have any opinions, but in this way, the first day of the "School Festival" is almost equivalent to starting at three o'clock in the afternoon. It would be a bit too urgent if it ended at 6 o'clock as usual, so the commander-in-chief waved his hand and directly ordered the first day to be postponed for three hours!

Of course, this is the official statement. In fact, there are more general managers. It should be that the longer the delay, the more publicity effect of Liu Maoxing's "two-star chef" certification will be reflected, and Ruishan's first-mover advantage will be smaller. ...

Ruishan intends to instigate the other ten heroes to oppose this matter, but the foodie Kobayashi Rindan is the first to support it, which makes Ruishan grit his teeth.

It was precisely because of the three-hour delay that Liu Maoxing had the chance to compete with Ruishan in terms of turnover on the first day!

"The top three in the corridor area will be announced first, and the third place in the corridor area is the 'Skewers Research Institute'!"

Liu Maoxing’s expression changed when he heard the words. This is also an old-fashioned research institute. The head coach is a second-year student. He had a meal with Liu Maoxing before. At this time, the whole society must help itself once...

Of course, Liu Maoxing just borrowed the so-called "full set of recipes" to learn and absorb nutrients. It does not mean that the ownership of these recipes will belong to Liu Maoxing, and they can no longer make them.

"Second place in the Cloisters is 'TrattoriaAldini'!"

It is a shop named in Italian. Liu Maoxing looked in the direction of the Aldini brothers. Sure enough, Takmi was beating his chest and feet, and he seemed dissatisfied with the second place result. …

Sure enough, the next broadcast announced: "The first place in the corridor area is the 'Nordic Princess New Technology Cold Drink Shop'!"

Alice put on a look of "not what I expected", while Xiaohui cheered softly with her, and she was not angry because Alice centered on herself from the name of the store to when she was awarded the honor ...

In the original plot, Alice teamed up with Ryo Kurokiba and Ryo Hayama... It’s okay for Kurokiba, after all, Alice is kind to him, and he is usually very accommodating to Alice, but Ryo Hayama’s temper is not good. Will accommodate Alice, she is not Jun Shiomi! Naturally, the result was thunderous, and there were endless internal strife at the beginning, and the first day ended with a deficit...

But Tian Suohui's personality is complementary to Alice's. There is no conflict between the two of them, and sometimes when Tian Suohui really has an opinion, Alice will accept it a little bit when she looks at her murmuring!

Although she always called her "earth girl", Alice sometimes couldn't bear to bully her because Tian Suohui was too honest or even cowardly.

"Selling cold drinks in the 'Corridor Area'? It's really just right... I just don't know what equipment Alice uses. If it's too complicated, I'm afraid that even if the turnover is high, the profit may not be that high." Liu Maoxing muttered to himself. road.

"The results of the first day of the 'Central District' will be announced next. The third place in the 'Central District' is the 'Alchemy Self-help Hall'!"

"Hahaha, that guy is so powerful, he is only third!"

"That's right, it seems that Ah Xing can really be one of the top ten this time!"

"Grandma Wenxu will definitely be happy. In this semester, our Jixing Liao will have one more top ten..."

"We have to work hard. Although this semester is hopeless, after the third-year students graduate, we will work hard for the vacant top ten seats!"

"Huh? Ah Xing, why don't you seem to be happy?" Ryoko, who was more thoughtful, wondered.

Liu Maoxing smiled, but Erina said directly: "The comparison between Ah Xing and Ruishan is 'profit', which is the sum of five days' net profit, and the turnover is high... It may not be possible to surpass the other party in profit! Even Ruishan's Brain, even if the turnover is more than twice his, it may not necessarily be higher than his net profit!"

And the broadcast announced on the other side continued: "The second place in the 'Central District' is the 'Chinese Cuisine Research Institute'! The first place in the 'Central District' is 'Liu Shui Ting'!"

It seems that the "Chinese Cuisine Research Society" took the top two, but I may still be a little depressed after a long time. After all, he lost to the four of Liu Maoxing with dozens of people...

At this moment, Yisehui also came back from the "Gaotai District", and brought back a more specific "battle report", which included the top ten in each area, as well as operating characteristics, today's turnover, and profitability.

"Sure enough, the turnover of 'Liu Shui Ting' is 60% higher than that of Ruishan's 'Alchemy Self-Service Hall', which is already far ahead, but our profit rate is only 28%, while Ruishan's 'Alchemy Self-Service Hall' has 65%... Calculated, they still make more profit!" Liu Maoxing sighed.

This profit rate has already included storefront costs, labor costs, and the like.

Of course, the labor cost of both parties can be ignored, because according to the rules, the labor cost is only calculated based on head count, and then calculated according to the "hourly salary" of ordinary chefs. Otherwise, Liu Maoxing will suffer a disadvantage after obtaining the qualification of "two-star chef". , the profitability of the entire "Liu Shui Pavilion" can be greatly reduced!

"Our low profit margin is mainly because the cost of ingredients is too high, especially the 'Sishen Babao Seafood Zhenhun Man'...Even if the cost of ingredients is reduced as much as possible, the maximum price of 5,000 yen in the 'Central District' is still limited. It's a little bit reluctant!" Miyoko Hojo frowned.

Indeed, even though the "Pseudo Four Gods and Eight Treasures Seafood Zhenhun Man" has shrunk as much as possible, it can still be regarded as an expensive dish, and it is not too much to put in the Gaotai District...

Ruishan opened three hours more than Liu Maoxing today, so on average, the profit should be almost the same.

"But Ruishan is really a black-hearted businessman! How high is 65%? Others generally only have about 30%-40%... Huh? The profit of the Chinese Cuisine Research Institute is only 7%? Kuga-senpai really is I just want prestige..." Yu Mei said helplessly.
