On the evening of the fifth day, the moon and stars were sparse, and the last few hours of the Yueyue Festival were coming to an end.
"Oops... Dear guests, I'm sorry. Since all the ingredients have been exhausted, our Wuweige Pavilion can only open here today. If you have tasted the delicacies of our Wuweige Pavilion during the five days of this moon festival,
, I sincerely thank you for your love. If you haven't eaten it, then I also wish you success in your future life and good health. I hope you can still support me next year, thank you! Thank you very much!" Shi Ke
He took the microphone and spoke to the guests waiting at the door.
"Oops... there are no ingredients! I still want to have a meal! Damn it! If I had known, I would have come to try it a few days ago!..." At this point, the guests had to leave with a slightly regretful mood.
.
"Huh... Maoli, Liang Cai, hurry up, we have to call it a day. We promised to treat you to a big dinner! If it's too late, we'll have to wait until later!" Shi Ke said to the person on the second floor who was entertaining the last guest.
Mao Li and Liang Cai greeted them.
"Hey! I know. The guests have finished eating. I will collect the plates right away." Kogoro Mouri shouted and poked his head out of the stairs.
"Sir, look, here is your bill. If there is no problem, please sign." Liang Cai happily handed the bill and pen to the man in black trench coat in front of him.
"Okay. Can I talk to your chef?" The man in black trench coat smiled, which was strange.
"Okay. He's downstairs now. We're closing and it's very empty. You can chat with him at any time." Liang Cai pointed to the stairs going downstairs.
"Can you let him come up? I'm not used to talking in front of many people."
"Well... I'll go ask." Liang Cai felt that this person was not normal, so he quickly went downstairs to find Shi Ke.
"Brother, there is a guest upstairs who wants to see you. I think he is not normal. Please pay attention."
"What are you doing? This Eizan Edazu isn't done yet, is he? It's almost over, and why are you sending someone here?! Did you know that I was going to have a big dinner, and did you come here to cause trouble? You really want me to come and beat someone up.
!" Shi Ke got impatient and threw the rag in his hand on the table he was cleaning. He put one hand on his hips and grinned angrily, just like a boiling teapot.
"Hmm... maybe he wasn't sent by Eizan Edazu. The guy upstairs... is a little more high-end than Eizan Edazu. Eizan Edazu, I'm afraid he can't command him. Judging from his temperament, he's not on the same level.
." Liang Cai said.
"Oh? Really? I'll go take a look." Shi Ke stopped being a teapot, wiped his hands with the rag on the table, and went upstairs.
After going upstairs, Shi Ke saw a man in black trench coat standing by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery. He didn't look back for a long time. Shi Ke walked to the side and took a look. The slight mountain breeze made a strand of white hair on his forehead sway slightly.
With a slightly frowned brow and a somewhat handsome face, there is a sense of helplessness among those who are ambitious but unable to achieve their goals.
This pretentious melancholy temperament made Shi Ke very unhappy.
So, Shi Ke swaggered over and closed the window in front of him with a snap, physically turning the melancholy handsome guy looking at the scenery into a confused middle-aged man looking at the wall and thinking about his past...
The startled man in black trench coat turned his head to look at Shi Ke with a puzzled expression.
Shi Ke straightened his collar, moved a stool and sat down with his legs crossed, and said seriously, "I am weak and the mountain wind is cold. I'm afraid I may catch a cold."
The man in the black trench coat lowered his head and glanced at Shi Ke's muscular chest, which was so strong that his collar was exposed. He said nothing and twitched the corner of his mouth. What a liar you are!! You are said to have a weak constitution. I can even issue a critical illness notice.
Got it!
Shi Ke looked at him calmly, asking you to pretend to be cool in front of me and interrupting my time to have a big meal. I can't beat you to death!
After a while, the man in the black trench coat couldn't stand the sight of the stone guest without blinking. His eyes were sore as he stared at him. "Ahem... Let me introduce myself. My name is Nakiri Hisashi. Your store is very interesting."
"Oh. How interesting would it be to give an exact value?" Shi Ke nodded, then tilted his head and asked.
"Uh?!" Nakiri Hisashi was stunned for a while, this guy doesn't follow the routine!
The stone guest didn't give any face, tilted his head and waited for further explanation.
"Well... you see I introduced myself, shouldn't you also politely introduce yourself?" Nakiri Thistle changed the subject.
"Oh. My name is Shi Ke, a first-year transfer student. Hello?"
"Hello, nice to meet you."
"Hmm. How happy are you?" Shi Ke was acting cowardly again.
"..., Huh. Don't you want to talk to me?" Nakiri Kiku's expression changed, and veins appeared on his forehead.
"Yes."
"I..." Nakiri Thistle was choked to death.
"I'm in a hurry to eat. Sir, if you have anything, can you tell me directly? It's very rude to disturb other people's meal time! What's more, I'm still treating guests. It's very shameful to be late! I'm going late.
Yes, it’s very embarrassing to be late!”
"I remember I should be a guest, right? Your attitude is wrong!"
"We are closed. So, after you have tasted the dishes, you are no longer a guest, and I am not a chef now. Therefore, you are now making requests other than food. So, if you have something to say, don't waste time, excellent
Food doesn't wait for anyone. I'm in a hurry!" Shi Ke said, spreading his hands, (?ω?)╭.
"Oh...hehehe~hehehe~hahahaha~~ Well said!! I like your pursuit of delicious food! You have personality!" Nakiri Thistle covered his face with one hand and gave a three-part smile.
"Tch, does it have anything to do with you? You're nosy and self-indulgent~~ Can you care? I'm not familiar with you." Shi Ke curled his lips, (???ε???).
"Well..." Nakiri Thistle choked again, adjusted his mentality, and sorted out his thoughts, "..., I need you~"
"Go away! I don't want to be gay!" Shi Ke crossed his arms and raised his head with a look of disgust.
"Listen to what I have to say!!!" Nakiri Thistle's mentality was a little broken, ╮(◣д◢)╭.
"I won't listen, I won't listen! You're a bad guy who disturbs others' dinner. I'm going to have dinner!" Shi Ke covered his ears and shook his head, pretending to be dead.
"..., forget it! You go to eat. I will come to see you again after a while!" Nakiri Thistle was completely speechless, or he was disgusted by the coquettish Shi Ke.
"Okay!" Shi Ke swooped out of the window with a swish.
"Hey! This is the second floor!" Nakiri Thistle was startled again and hurried to the window.
"Mr. Nakiri, we are closed. Should you come out?" Shi Ke waved his hand on the first floor.
Nakiri Hisashi came down from the second floor with a confused expression.
"Click..." After Nagiri thistle came out, Shi Ke locked the Wumi Pavilion.
"Shike-kun, we will meet again soon." Nakiri Thistle straightened the collar of his windbreaker and spread his hands.
"Let's go, let's go! I've already made a reservation. If we get there late, they'll be closed! We have to run to several places at once! What a pity, Mimasaku Subaru is exhausted and has to go home to rest. Let's run!
"Shi Ke took Mouri Kogoro and Liang Cai and ran past Nakiri Thistle, causing a burst of smoke and dust.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, Nakiri Thistle's mouth twitched, and he spread his hands out alone in the wind, messy!
Two hours later, Shi Ke and three people walked to the last store in large and small bags.
"Huh~~ This is the last store. After eating this one, we have enough." Shi Ke pointed at the building in front of him and said.
"Huh... Shike-kun, you are so interesting! You actually made reservations for seven of the top ten restaurants! What a veritable feast! Hiccup! I can continue to eat, the last target, Miss Nakiri Erina
Shop! Phew! Come on!" Mouri Kogoro was full of enthusiasm.
"Brother, I'm really exhausted after eating like this. Fortunately, except for ramen, everything else is themed on exquisiteness, so I'm okay. I'll be fine after eating this one, right?" Liang Cai ate the packaged Sissi Kubo peach.
The dim sum didn't look overstuffed at all.
"Of course. If you eat seven restaurants in one go and don't order more exquisite dishes, you won't be able to survive." Shi Ke said while holding the ramen. After eating six restaurants, he was not full at all, so he went to the girl's shop again.
I bought some ramen from Kijima.
"Brother, isn't it appropriate for you to go in with ramen?" Liang Cai said.
"Whoa! Bah! Bah! Bah!" Liang just finished speaking. Shi Ke raised his head, threw the noodles straight, and finished the noodles in one breath. Looking at the bowl again, there was nothing else except the noodle soup.
Shi Ke picked up the noodle soup, raised his head, wiped his mouth, put the empty bowl into the plastic bag he asked for from Megijima Fuyuki, and waved his hand, "Okay! Come in! Keep eating!"
Mouri Kogoro and Liang Cai gave a thumbs up together, shocked.
As soon as the three people entered the store, they found that the atmosphere in the store was not right.
"Among those of you who claim to have a deep knowledge of food, how many of you can really stand up and say that you know what real delicious food is?" Nakiri Hisashi spread his hands and gave a speech.
"..." Shi Ke, who had just entered the door, touched his chin, wanting to hear something.
"Real food is similar to beautiful paintings, sculptures, music, and all first-class art. Its true value can only be understood by people with character and taste and proper education. It is determined by the public and the upper class.
are completely different, because these values can't be understood by the public at all, and can only be regarded as pure fun. Real food is such a thing, and only a very small number of people can reach a value consensus. Only this can be called a dish, except
The other things are not dishes, but just feed. Haha... People like you who think that the use of high-end ingredients is delicious food shouldn't be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"
"Damn it! How dare you look down on us!" The people present were very angry.
"Um...can I refute a little bit?" Shi Ke raised his hand.
"Huh?" Nakiri Thistle turned his head.
"Well... I thought about the standards you mentioned, and they are indeed very high. High-end cuisine does require sufficient knowledge and ability to be fully understood. I agree with this."
"Hmph...you're not bad."
"However, something that only a few people can reach a consensus on value is not a dish. Most people don't want that kind of thing." Shi Ke rubbed his hands.
"What did you say?!" Nakiri Kiku's expression changed.
"According to your standards, isn't what you're talking about a medicine that should be taken only when sick? What kind of medicine do normal people take? Only a very small number of people can understand the value. Ordinary people don't understand and don't want to understand. Whoever understands it deeply will be unlucky. Medicines,
It’s not a dish.” Shi Ke scratched the back of his head.
"Pfft! Hahahaha~~ You're right. The things he mentioned are actually medicines." The whole store burst into laughter.
"..., Huh~ Yeah. That's right. It does seem to be a bit of a description error. Okay, Erina, it's been ten years since I first taught you the dishes... I really want to see it
How far have you honed your skills?" Nakiri Thistle didn't get angry, but calmly walked towards Erina, who was turning blue.
"I...I said it all! We refuse to receive guests without reservations!" Feishao said angrily.
"..." Shi Ke tilted his head when he heard this.
"Isn't there another table with no guests?" Nakiri Thistle turned a deaf ear and walked to the empty seat by the window.
"Ah?! Then...that dining table is!!" Erina was anxious.
Nakiri Thistle pulled out his chair and sat down, "First, let's start with wine..."
"..." Erina broke into a cold sweat.
"Erina, you still want to... hmm? What are you doing here?" Nakiri Kiku wanted to say something else, but he found Shi Ke walking in front of him.
"Hmm...have you read the rules in my store?" Shi Ke stretched out his hand and touched his ears.
"I've seen it, what's wrong?"
"This store is by reservation only. You didn't make a reservation for this store, right?"
"No. What's wrong?"
"If you want to eat, you must obey the rules. Why did you come in without a reservation? You keep saying that good food requires people with quality and character to understand it. You should lead by example first and then come out and shout slogans, okay? It's very tasteless to just say it without doing it.
"Yes." Shi Ke stretched out his hand and grabbed the back collar of Nakiri Thistle, muttering and dragging him towards the door.
Nakiri Kiku didn't expect the stone guest to suddenly make such a move. He kicked his legs and struggled all the way, but was easily dragged to the door by the stone guest.
"Hey! Shi Ke, why are you here? Do you want to share a table? Um? Who is this?" As soon as the door opened, they happened to meet Xingping and Xiaohui. Xingping was curious.
"A guy came in without a reservation to get some food. You guys should come in first. Let's go!!" Shi Ke asked the two of Xinghei to enter the store, then waved his hand, and then kicked his butt, leaving a confused Nakiri Thistle.
He flew directly out, fell on his butt and fell backwards like a wild goose on the sand.
After closing the door and turning around, Shi Ke was so stunned by the admiring looks of everyone in the store, "What for? Why are you looking at me like that? I'll be embarrassed."
"Do you know who he is? Mr. Shi Ke?" Fei Shasha asked in a cold sweat.
"I don't want to know. I've beaten you anyway. If you want revenge, come and take your pick. Secretary, I have a reservation. Find me a table first." Shi Ke waved his hand disapprovingly. It's more important to eat.
.
"..., hey. Okay... just... wait a moment." Fei Shasha began to suspect that he was dreaming.
Nakiri Hisashi, who was sitting on the ground at the door, stared for a long time without reacting. It was his first experience to be kicked out of a store at such a young age! Don't tell me, it really hurts your butt!
