In this world, there is no shortage of excellent chefs, and new ones emerge in every era!
Especially with the rapid development of the modern catering industry, people's demands for food are definitely getting higher and higher, and their tastes are becoming more refined!
Therefore, an excellent chef can have an extremely high status and influence!
At the same time, one cannot deny another fact, which is:
In the wave of the fast-food era, many chain catering enterprises began to establish their exclusive kitchens.
Then, they unified pre-cooking and unified distribution!
Even the craftsmanship and procedures of the dishes had to be standardized to ensure consistent taste, and the dishes were standardized!
Many chefs, for the sake of profit, gradually abandoned innovation and began to cook according to this standardized process.
On the one hand, it saved time and effort, and on the other hand, the power of individuals was indeed extremely weak, and such catering standardization could achieve rapid promotion and dominate the market!
In short, in Rindo's perception, this was an era for chefs, but also the most dismal era for the culinary world!
Of course, knowing that Sosuke was once a five-star hotel chef, and then he was willing to give up all that to run this Izakaya alone, this feat naturally made her admire him even more!
This shows that Sosuke is never the kind of person who loves false fame or covets profit!
He truly loves cooking!
He is unwilling to be constrained by the various standardized things in the culinary world!
He is truly an amazing chef!
So, for a moment, Sosuke's image in her heart became particularly tall and grand.
And if his thoughts were known by Sosuke at this moment, he would probably be unable to help but laugh.
In his previous life, he simply didn't want to live that boring two-point-one-line life, which is why he chose to resign from the five-star hotel.
Just like his current self, running an Izakaya.
He is only busy from 7 PM to 12 AM, and for the rest of the time, he can basically choose to lie flat and do whatever he wants!
As for disliking the current culinary world, or not being a person who covets fame and fortune, well, Rindo, you are thinking too much.
Time slowly passed.
This breakfast finally ended in a warm atmosphere!
And this Mille-feuille, which subverted common sense, naturally left a deep impression on Rindo!
She was very glad that she was thick-skinned enough to forcefully stay here and get a free breakfast by almost acting like a spoiled child, which gave her the opportunity to taste such delicious Mille-feuille!
Finally, a very satisfied Rindo stood reluctantly in front of the Izakaya.
"Shopkeeper!"
"This hospitality, I… I am very grateful!"
After speaking, she bowed to Sosuke to express her gratitude!
"No need for that."
"I just made some Mille-feuille!"
"What's more, since my Izakaya opened, you've come here almost every night to patronize my business, so you can be considered a regular customer!"
"And the relationship between you and me is not as strange as with other people!"
Sosuke said with a smile, then looked at Rindo with a meaningful gaze.
This girl is indeed very casual in her personality, always carefree.
After these days of getting along, although their friendship cannot be said to be very good, that wonderful spiritual connection has made his relationship with Rindo very subtle!
Especially looking at Rindo now, she should have a little crush on him.
But she probably hasn't realized it herself, after all, her extremely gluttonous personality always covers up all emotions!
In her eyes, what could be more important than eating?
However, she didn't understand that her appetite had been conquered by Sosuke, and her heart... would it still be far behind?
"Shopkeeper."
"If you keep talking like that,"
"Then… then I'm going to blush again!"
Learning from Sosuke that her relationship with him was far more intimate than with many others, Rindo's heart began to pound, and she instantly felt a flutter of excitement!
"Alright!"
"I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Then, she pretended to be calm and quickly said goodbye to Sosuke.
After all, if she stayed any longer, she didn't know if she would really blush.
Therefore, after dropping this sentence, she took light steps and quickly turned to leave the Izakaya!
"Sigh!"
"She's finally gone!"
"Now, my Izakaya is much quieter!"
At this moment, looking at the gradually receding figure, Sosuke, standing in front of the Izakaya, could only sigh deeply!
And just as he was about to return to the Izakaya, he noticed that Sonoka, the Shopkeeper of the Spring Fruit Pavilion Western Restaurant next door, was standing there in a daze, watching him.
"Oh!"
"Good morning, Miss Mujiuzhi."
Seeing this, Sosuke had no choice but to stop and greet her proactively.
In his memory, before his Izakaya opened, the Spring Fruit Pavilion restaurant next door already existed!
The style and marketing strategy of this restaurant, and even its decoration, service level, etc., were completely different from his Izakaya.
First of all, Spring Fruit Pavilion mainly serves Western cuisine.
And the diners who come here are often the elites of society.
There are almost no ordinary office workers, housewives, students, teachers, and other groups at the bottom of society!
But even though the target customers were all top-tier individuals, and the price of each dish was outrageously expensive, the business of this Spring Fruit Pavilion was always very good!
It makes sense.
The Shopkeeper of this Spring Fruit Pavilion, Sonoka, was once the Second Seat of the Totsuki Elite Ten.
Her strength and talent were indeed capable of supporting the operation of this Spring Fruit Pavilion Western Restaurant.
She even relied on her own abilities to gradually make this Western restaurant bigger and stronger!
"Hmm!"
"You… hello!"
Unexpectedly, when Sonoka faced Sosuke's proactive greeting, she was so startled that she quickly retreated a few steps, and after nodding and saying "hello" to him, she actually turned and ran back.
Such a reaction naturally left Sosuke a bit bewildered!
"That's strange!"
"I'm clearly so handsome, and not scary at all, so why did she run back as soon as she saw me speak?"
Faced with this situation, Sosuke could only shrug his shoulders, feeling a bit depressed!
However, although his Izakaya was right next to Spring Fruit Pavilion, he and the Shopkeeper, Sonoka, had almost never met.
The reason was that the Izakaya's business hours were from 7 PM to 12 AM.
And Sonoka's Spring Fruit Pavilion Western Restaurant's business hours were from 9 AM to 6 PM, so the operating hours of the two restaurants were completely staggered!
Therefore, the depressed Sosuke quickly adjusted his mindset.
He returned to the Izakaya, not taking Sonoka's matter to heart at all!
