Tokyo, a street called Hengsha.
Hengsha Street was a medium-sized bustling food street near the city center of Tokyo. Apart from supermarkets and convenience stores, there were all kinds of restaurants here, including Chinese cuisine, mage cuisine, halal cuisine, local cuisine, and so on.
The First-grade Immortal Restaurant was located in the best part of Sand Street. Although it was only a middle-grade restaurant with only two floors, it was extremely famous in Sand Street.
Creak ~
A taxi stopped at the intersection of Hengsha Street.
"Thank you, keep the change!" Hu Lai pushed open the door and rushed out of the taxi. He threw the money to the driver through the window and rushed into the crowded Hengsha Street like the wind. Not long after, he arrived in front of the First-grade Immortal Restaurant. Hu Lai could not help but slow down.
The First Grade Immortal was already closed for business, and there was a sign on the door that said that it was temporarily closed.
"What happened?" Hu Lai mumbled as he pushed open the door."I'm back ~"
In the lobby of the restaurant.
With Kitano Kimura as the leader, more than 20 people, including chefs, kitchen helpers, apprentices, dish passers, and waiters, gathered at a long table. The others looked angry, and Kitano Kimura's face was gloomy.
On the other side of the long table, a bald middle-aged man and a young man around 18 or 19 years old stood at the front. Behind them were a few men who looked like chefs.
There were a few documents on the table, and Kitano Kimura was reading them.
Hu Lai came in and greeted them. Only a few people glanced at him, but no one responded. Hu Lai could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the hall. Behind Kitano Kimura, a middle-aged man who was not tall and looked very stocky walked out and pulled Hu Lai aside.
In a corner of the lobby.
"What happened?" " Isn't that the owner of the Thousand Taste Hall across the street?" Hu Lai asked in confusion.”Hu Lai looked at the bald middle-aged man. He recognized him. He was the owner of the Japanese restaurant, Thousand Taste Hall, across the street from First-grade Immortal, Sato Akira.
After saying that, Hu Lai looked out the window again. The Thousand Taste Hall across the street was doing very well. People were coming and going, forming a sharp contrast with the closed First Grade Immortals.
"Sigh." Yang Shan sighed." It's them. The boss wants to bet with them. If he loses, he'll sell the First Grade Immortal to Sato Akira. The price has been estimated. 40 million."”
"Why is it so low?" Hu Lai frowned and asked in a low voice," Also, why are we betting?”
40 million yen, equivalent to 2 million yuan.
It was a lot of money, but a first-grade immortal was definitely worth more than that. Just the location alone should be worth 80 million yen, which was less than half.
" It's like this. We've been closed for six days. It was six days ago..." Yang Shan said, and his expression became angrier and angrier.
The situation was worse than Hu Lai had imagined.
Originally, the First Grade Immortal had five chefs, including the head chef,'Golden City Fifty-Six'. Golden City Fifty-Six had studied in China in his early years and was proficient in Chinese cuisine. He was the chef hired by Kitano Kimura at a high price. The arrival of Golden City Fifty-Six made the First Grade Immortal more and more famous.
Half a year ago, due to some problems, the hot-tempered Kitano Kimura had a quarrel with Jin City No. 56. After that, Jin City No. 56 resigned.
Since then, the First Grade Immortal's situation had deteriorated. Of course, it was just that their business was not as good as before. They did not go bankrupt. The other chefs 'cooking skills were also very good.
And just six days ago, all the chefs except Yang Shan resigned collectively! As a result, the First-grade Immortals closed their doors and Kitano Kimura had been looking for new chefs in the talent market.
Early in the morning, Sato brought his men to the First Grade Immortal Restaurant and said that he wanted to buy the restaurant at a very low price. Kitano Kimura naturally refused. This was his life's work. However, his bad temper acted up again and he could not stand Sato's sarcasm.
Moreover, Kitano Kimura knew that the chefs who had resigned collectively were all poached by Akira Sato at a high price.
That was why this was happening.
Conspiracy!
It was a common melodramatic plot in the culinary world. In order to acquire a competing restaurant, he would do anything!
"How?" Hu Lai frowned deeply and kept looking over. Kitano Kimura was still reading the document and hadn't signed it.
"Cooking!" Yang Shan sighed." The boss has already planned to do it himself, but he hasn't been in the kitchen for a few years. I wonder if he still has the skills from back then…Look at the young man beside Sato Akira. Do you know who he is?”
"Who is it?" Hu Lai looked over.
"It's Sato Akira's nephew, Sato Daiyo.”Yang Shan said immediately," He just graduated from Togetsu Academy with excellent results. His culinary skills are definitely better than the former head chef, Kaneshiro 56. It is said that dozens of well-known restaurants in Tokyo have invited him, but he rejected them all and came here to help Sato Akira expand his family business.”
[Name: Sato Daiyo (Male)]
Age: 19 years old.
[Cooking Theory Level: A]
[Cooking Appraisal Level: A]
[Cooking skill level: A ]
"This fellow is quite strong." Hu Lai muttered after seeing the data.
"Not just strong, I heard that when Sato was in Togetsu Academy, he was second only to the Ten Heroes of Togetsu.”Yang Shan quickly said and sighed again." We couldn't persuade Boss. We also called Miss Cang You, but Miss Cang You is in America and can't come back in time."”
Kitano Kurasu was Kitano Kimura's only daughter. She was 20 years old and was studying business administration in the United States.
……
"Have you seen it?" Akira Sato was all smiles. Although he was bald, he had a shrewd temperament." If you sign this agreement, I'll immediately inform the notary to come over, and we can officially start the battle.”
"What is the Food Halberd?" Hu Lai walked over and stood beside Kitano Kimura.
Kitano Kimura glanced at Hu Lai. He knew that someone had called Hu Lai, but he did not say anything.
"Food Halberd!" The young Sato spoke in a noble tone," Commoners like you may not know, but according to the tradition of Togetsu Academy, both parties will have a cooking competition and find an odd-numbered notary to judge. Everything is voluntary, and you have to provide an equivalent... This is the Food War! A war in the culinary world!"
"Then what do you have to bet with us?”Hu Lai asked again.
"Thousand Taste Hall!" Sato said,"The price is 100 million yen. We're at a disadvantage because the current first-grade immortals aren't worth 100 million yen! However…we are willing. If you win, if you can take out 100 million yen, we will sell the Thousand Wei Hall to you! Boss Beiye, you must be very tempted ~"
"Humph!" Kitano Kimura snorted coldly.
"Uncle Beiye, sign it!" Hu Lai looked at Kitano Kimura and bewitched him,""They actually dare to look down on us. We have to teach them a lesson!”
"Good!" Kitano Kimura was still a little hesitant. He just couldn't take it lying down. When he heard Hu Lai's words, he immediately picked up a pen and signed the documents one by one.
The people behind Kitano Kimura looked at Hu Lai in shock. Yang Shan even slapped his forehead, looking like he was about to collapse.
He had called Hu Lai back to persuade Kitano Kimura!
It was persuasion!
Why was Hu Lai more impulsive than Kitano Kimura?!
