Capítulo 939: Chapter 938: Revisiting Your Scent
White Cloud Pavilion, Huang He was watching TV with a blank expression.
A video interview was playing:
“…Chef Xia, as far as I know, you have taken on the role of head chef at Juxia Building, and the new nu of Juxia Building is also your creation. Can you talk about why the nu emphasizes the combination of tradition and fantasy? What are your hopes and goals for the future developnt of Juxia Building?”
This was Mu Xiaoyue’s sweet voice.
The youthful voice responded calmly and steadily: “Just like the the of the nu, this is also my personal culinary philosophy. I believe that a hundred years from now, Juxia Building can still lead the trend of the tis, so seizing the trend and becoming the trendsetter is exactly what I pursue as the head chef of Juxia Building.”
The cara turned to the female host, Mu Xiaoyue flipped open a nu, and at the sa ti, the nas and prices of the dishes were displayed in a tabular format on the TV screen.
“Cowherd Points to Apricot Village” – Representing Vegetarian Dishes, priced at 89 yuan.
“Beef, Pork, and Bird Twice-Cooked at” – Representing at Dishes, priced at 269 yuan.
Seeing such a price list, Huang He’s pupils instantly contracted. He exclaid, “How can it be such a lowly price!”
Excessively cheap is lowly.
In his White Cloud Pavilion, not to ntion the prices for dishes personally cooked by him, even the nu of his senior disciple Wei Zhong does not have even the cheapest tea and snack set below a thousand.
“Three Steams in One,” such a signature skill, is rarely shown, only displayed in competitions and important culinary duels, and is priceless.
Logically speaking, although Xia Yu is not a formally recognized Lin Chef by the Dragon Chef Alliance, his personal fa has already surpassed so old monsters. Even if the dishes were priced at tens of thousands, rich people would beat down the door of Juxia Building with cash in hand.
But it’s just a few dozen for vegetarian and a few hundred for at dishes!
No matter what, Huang He found it hard to stay calm.
At this ti, Mu Xiaoyue just happened to bring up this issue:
“Chef Xia, we know that Lin Chef’s private dishes have never been cheap, and yet the price of this nu is very affordable, and the fantasy ingredients used are expensive. The cost of a dish is extrely high, with such a little difference between selling price and cost price… What were your considerations in setting this nu’s price list?”
On TV, Demon King Xia smiled and asked, “Isn’t it good for the prices to be low and accessible?”
The female host was speechless, “But the profit…”
“To be honest, I’m not short of money.”
The young man smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.
This was the truth, with the gold forbidden ingredients available in the system marketplace, he could exchange Fa Points, resell them to Gourt Hunters, and gain amazing wealth.
“But your culinary achievents…”
“To let more people, especially ordinary people, taste the combination of tradition and fantasy, and have awareness of this great era, the integration of eras, that is my dream.”
A young face was reflected on the screen, shining brilliantly.
“Beep——”
Huang He angrily threw the remote control, taking deep breaths on the sofa, and it took a long while for his twisted expression to gradually calm down.
It was undeniable that Huang He felt a strong sense of crisis deep inside.
The phone on the table rang, displaying a familiar number.
“What’s the matter now?” Huang He frowned.
“Brother Huang, it seems you’re in a good mood, haven’t you seen the promotional video that that Demon King Xia recorded for Juxia Building?” On the other end of the phone, it was the contemporary ‘Tianji Star’ Wu Tong.
Huang He snorted, “I saw it, and then?”
“Do you have any thoughts?” The phone call was filled with a yin-yang tone, “For instance, if this child is not removed, the future troubles will be unending?”
“Remove, how to remove?” Huang He sneered, “Wei Zhong was thoroughly defeated, Wu Tong, are you honestly trying to tell that you have reliable people to send out? Lin Chefs? Haha!”
The ridicule was undisguised.
Wu Tong was evidently prepared, laughing, “To be honest, if we wanted to eliminate him through a culinary challenge, though China is vast, there isn’t a single person available!”
The tone shifted.
“But if it’s outside of a culinary showdown, there are plenty of feasible thods.”
Upon hearing this, Huang He’s eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of inexplicable amusent passing through them, his voice was particularly calm, “Do you really think that soone is just a decoration? From the mont Wei Zhong was defeated, I could feel countless eyes staring at , monitoring !”
The other end of the phone fell silent.
Bang!
He turned off the phone, threw it on the table, and a mocking smile appeared on Huang He’s lips, muttering, “This Wu Tong, ten years ago, tricked all of us, and ten years later, he still wants to be that leader?”
Huang He knew that any slight movent would result in death at any mont.
He could only confront head-on!
Confronting Demon King Xia was not feasible; according to the rules, a culinary duel could not be initiated, so he could only fight Xia Qing again, solve the elder first, and then there would be many ways to tornt the younger one.
Pacing back and forth in the room for a while, thinking of the adopted son who had not yet awakened in the hospital bed, Huang He sighed deeply, picked up the phone on the table again, and opened the ssage box, where a read ssage read:
“…Trust , this ti it’s definitely a major discovery. We’ve tracked it from Lop Nur to the Mongolian Plateau for a whole month. More and more Gourt Hunters are gathering at the Gobi Desert! Co quickly!”
The sender of the ssage was signed as Luo Tiangang, Huang He’s second disciple, a Lin Chef. In dostic fa, he was not as known as Wei Zhong, but among the circle of Gourt Hunters, he was very well-known.
Gourt Hunters naturally pursue ingredients.
Huang He’s eyes burned with desire, “If I get the super ingredient containing the ‘GOD’ Divine Cell Fragnts that Tiangang ntioned, can I defeat Xia Qing in an open culinary duel?”
Xia Qing avoided Japan for ten years and returned with many precious ingredients, defeating powerful enemies one after another.
Why shouldn’t Huang He emulate this?
This ti, his senior disciple took a huge fall with the ingredients, which also served as a wake-up call for Huang He.
To win, to wash away the humiliation, things like principles can go to hell!
When replying, Huang He heavily typed two words: Wait for !
…
Just past six in the evening, the day’s busy operations finally ended.
The people in the kitchen were all collapsed and exhausted.
Zhu Qing returned from the ingredients storage, wiping sweat hard as he said, “Wow, even the two subsequent ergency shipnts of ingredients have been used up completely!”
Current likes: 8451/10000.
Phew.
Xia Yu propped both hands on the kitchen counter, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
The results were significant, but after deducting costs, the gross profit was not much.
“I think starting tomorrow, we’ll have to go into a reservation system—” Xia Yu said with a bitter smile to the exhausted crowd, “Otherwise, I’m really afraid that in the coming days, Juxia Building will be overwheld with crazy custors.”
“Should have done this from the start,” Zhu Qing rolled his eyes dramatically, “Don’t you know how low and tempting your dish prices are?”
“Now, with the current economic level, anyone can co and try, so do you think there are many people or not?”
Having decided on implenting a reservation system, they would host a set number of guests in allocated ti slots each day.
Anyway, the new Juxia Building doesn’t aim for massive profits currently. Limiting seats and numbers gives more ti to train the newly arrived team mbers. Otherwise, handling all main dishes alone, even with his physique upgraded to level 65, Xia Yu was starting to feel overwheld.
“Here—”
While sweat was dripping incessantly, a handkerchief was handed over, the voice was pleasant to the ear.
Thinking it was Sen Tian Makoto, Xia Yu took it to wipe his sweat, but as the handkerchief neared his nose, he found the scent didn’t quite match.
As a high-end chef, to put it bluntly, his nose was sharper than a dog’s.
Recognizing people by their scent was easy for Xia Yu.
“Eriina?”
Xia Yu sniffed the handkerchief with a peculiar expression, seemingly enjoying it? Eriina didn’t specifically use perfu before cooking, but being a girl, she probably wore it when she didn’t plan to cook.
It’s not uncommon for personal items to carry the owner’s scent.
A delicate and elegant fragrance; just a whiff made Xia Yu visualize a queen nad Elizabeth on her throne, extending a fair, soft hand to him. This hand was so soft that kissing it felt like kissing a full vase.
Xia Yu made no attempt to hide the fact that he was enjoying this mont.
With a sudden sound of a giggle.
The golden-haired girl with an angelic face turned scarlet, “You, you…” Her eyes showed a mix of indescribable joy and mostly unbearable embarrassnt. At that mont, Eriina’s face expressed what could be called a young girl’s heart.
“You pervert, C-man, give it back to !” She demanded in a fluster to snatch back the handkerchief.
Xia Yu remained calm, “I’m just reviewing your scent.”
“Give it back!”
Tiqie Eriina kicked Xia Yu’s calf fiercely, but with Xia Yu’s current body, even bullets couldn’t hurt him, let alone a soft kick.
Xia Yu casually wiped his forehead a few tis, then stuffed the handkerchief back into Eriina’s arms, “Here, take it.”
A teasing laugh from nearby made it hard for the girl to stay in the kitchen. She turned and dashed outside.
“Instructor, this is my handkerchief, please lick it, I don’t care if you’re a pervert.”
Tiqie Ailisha followed suit, offering a handkerchief respectfully.
Xia Yu’s face was full of black lines.
So this pervert reputation is firmly established?
He glanced around; several girls in the kitchen, including Makki, Midori, and Senior Kobayakawa Ryodan, even Liu Ying, were all looking at him as if he were a sniffing weirdo, with very disdainful expressions.
anwhile, Tiqie Eriina had crouched down in the courtyard corner, her face flushed red. She looked at the handkerchief on her knee, glistening with sweat, and sniffed it with a tangled little nose before muttering disdainfully, “Looks like it needs a good wash.”
The young girl’s eyes, usually cold and prideful, now carried a touch of tenderness.
Saying one thing but aning another.
“Ah, his scent—”
