If Du Lan wants to open a store, it is still very troublesome to open a store in a commercial street. After all, in addition to the various rules of the commercial street, there are also planning companies eyeing this land.
Naturally, land speculators don't want the commercial street to be popular. The best thing is to force all the stores in the commercial street to go bankrupt, so that they can buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price to make money.
But one good thing about this world is that as long as you use delicious food to open the way, basically nothing is impossible. Even eminent monks who have practiced for decades will fall into hell just for a bite of delicious food.
The five roots of hell: wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep.
"The chefs in this world want to use delicious food to drag everyone into hell!" Du Lan has a very clear understanding of the chefs in "The Spirit of the Halberd", who use delicious food to achieve their goals by any means.
Therefore, food must also be used when opening a store.
Food opened the way, all the paperwork in the commercial street was quickly completed, and these employees became Dulan's first customers.
When Seiichiro Yukihira saw it, he frowned, because what Duran did was completely like people in the dark cooking world. Although these people were chefs, they would not hesitate to use any means to achieve their goals.
"Let me see what kind of store you open."
"Revolving sushi." Dulan opened a sushi restaurant, and it was also revolving sushi.
However, what people rotate is the ingredients, but what this store rotates is the customers. According to the positioning of the gossip, even the cheapest and lowest-cost rice balls can make customers unable to help but eat one and think of two.
Dulan said that low prices are the most important, and we must use low prices to impact the entire commercial street.
Use the cheapest ingredients and combine them with Bagua to create delicious food.
When he opened the store, Dulan invited a geisha to perform. On that day, many customers came into the store to eat sushi out of curiosity.
"Dad, there's a new store opened next door, it seems very interesting." Souma Yukihira came back from school and found that the revolving sushi restaurant was overcrowded.
"Have you ever eaten there?"
"No, there are too many people and we have to queue up. All the old customers have gone to eat sushi and no longer come to our store," the young man said.
"Then you have time to study hard."
"I want to study new dishes." The young man has no interest in learning and only wants to study new dishes: "Dad, I will defeat you sooner or later."
"You've almost lost five hundred."
"It's only 480 defeats. Daddy, don't be proud. I will definitely beat you."
The father and son are noisy every day, but today's business is really deserted. Even if there are customers, they don't go to eat sushi because the queue time is too long.
Although you can't go in to eat, you can watch the Internet celebrities visit the store and learn about the situation in the revolving sushi restaurant through the Internet.
Joichiro took out his mobile phone and learned about his opponents on the Internet. The decoration in the store was very strange. The floor tiles were full of Bagua patterns. The wall decoration had a Cthulhu style, and they were all specimens of deep-sea fish. The most peculiar thing was this restaurant.
The rotation of the food is not the rotation of the ingredients, but the rotation of the diners.
"Sure enough, it is a psychologically suggestive dish. The deep-sea fish specimens on the wall can hint to the diners that they are not eating ordinary sushi, but deep-sea ingredients. The gossip patterns on the ground will also hint to the guests that the taste of the food is different. And it really makes the difference to the guests.
The truth of the experience is that the rotating seats actually release more dopamine in the human brain to stimulate the human brain when rotating. So what the guests really taste is not the food, but the dopamine in their own brains. This is not a restaurant at all.
It's an amusement park." Joichiro pointed out Duran's trick. This is not a cafeteria at all, but an amusement park to stimulate diners.
But the business is really good, not only are the prices cheap, but the food is also filling, and more importantly, the food is really delicious, with an indescribable taste.
It's full every day.
Even some of Soma Kohei's classmates didn't come. They used to have lunch and dinner in the store, but they don't come now.
"Dad, we won't go bankrupt, right? Then that urban planning company will buy our store and knock it down to build an apartment building? You don't want this kind of thing. I haven't inherited this store yet." The young man was anxious and kept doing business.
A prosperous small shop suddenly has no customers and will really go bankrupt.
"Don't worry, I have savings that can last for three years even if there are no customers." Dad said.
"Then we just keep waiting like this?"
"Come on, today is Sunday. We occasionally go out for a meal and eat sushi."
When Duran saw Joichiro, he invited him over and said, "Isn't this the home of my good neighbor Yukihira? Please line up here."
On Sunday, there were many guests from far away. However, the father and son still waited for the opportunity to eat and experienced the rotating dining method.
The ingredients are not rotated, but the guests are rotated, just like a merry-go-round.
"It's delicious." The boy brought a piece of sashimi sushi and said, "It's obviously very ordinary ingredients, but it's delicious. Is this guy a sushi god?"
"If it is traditional sushi, it will taste better. This is very ordinary sushi. There are not even many sushi making methods. It is just the simplest rice ball with ingredients on it."
"But this taste is not ordinary at all."
"It's true." Joichiro knew that this was the brain secreting dopamine, and the rotating seats would stimulate the fear of the guests. Looking at the diners around him devouring their food, he knew that what these people were eating was not food, but their own fears, themselves.
We cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Before starting the cooking journey, I must get rid of this cancer for the sake of my fellow villagers.
After eating, Joichiro looked at Duran and asked, "If you were also a chef, would you know about the cooking showdown?"
"Of course I do. This is a showdown between chefs that puts their honor on the line. Why do you want to challenge me?"
"That's right, I challenge you to a cooking showdown, also known as Shokuki."
Dulan agreed simply: "Of course, it's better to win two out of three games. Then what's the prize?"
"If you lose, you have to close the store."
"Okay, but what if you lose?"
"I'll also close the store." Joichiro said, "Two out of three games, it's up to you to decide what event you will compete on."
"It's easy to say, just use the ingredients that can be bought on the commercial street to make dishes, and then invite three groups of people to taste them. The first group will invite the students from the school to eat, the second group will invite the bosses of the commercial street to eat, and the third group will invite outside Internet users to eat
Red wins. After three rounds of voting, the person who gets two high votes wins. How about that?"
"I have no objection."
Both sides decided to start fighting.
"Dad, why do you want to compete?" The young man was dumbfounded.
"Because this store is very dark, you will know it later. The culinary world is very vast, and you cannot know the vastness of the world if you are limited to the commercial street. Son, after this duel, you will go to Totsuki Academy."
Seeing his father's serious look, Yukihira Soma didn't take it seriously. He doesn't feel limited at all now, because everyone says that his craftsmanship is good and he is very satisfied. He has not yet seen the hugeness of the world.
I still don’t know how vast the culinary world is, but it’s still a frog in the well.
Soon, the cooking showdown began.
The three people who voted were students, shop owners, and internet celebrities.
Use ingredients bought on the commercial street. These ingredients are very common and popular.
"Students cook fried food, shopkeepers cook home-cooked food, and Internet celebrities cook it in a flashy way," Du Lan said.
Dinisha saw that Duran had given the right medicine and had no objection. She also knew that students liked high-calorie fried foods and asked: "There are a lot of fried foods, what are they fried for?"
"Plum fried chicken." Duran said.
“What to make for home cooking?”
“Curry Potato Chicken.”
“What about internet celebrity food?”
"Beggar Qiankun Chicken." Du Lan had the recipe and said, "Joichiro must think that I can't attract customers without using gossip. In fact, gossip is everywhere, even when cooking. Look at how I arrange the stall."
Both parties were out of business, and it was their first time outside the school.
Joichiro also chose fried food, but they fried pork steaks without seasonings.
But Dulan knew that they must have added ingredients between the pork and the wrapping. The chef's craftsmanship likes to work on such details.
But Duran's first competition only focused on one item, which was efficiency. With simpler ingredients, more people can eat well, and he can get more votes.
The Bagua position allows him to improve efficiency and feed more students.
