Rushing downstairs, the old man was already in the back seat of the luxury car.

Xia Yu knocked on the window, but the old man did not roll down the window. He nodded calmly to him in the car.

When the engine sounds rang out, the commander of Togetsu who was in the car ordered the driver, so this black limousine slowly drove away from the old shopping street under the gaze of Xia Yu.

Standing and watching the car disappear, Xia Yu turned back.

Uh.

The ‘Tongue of God’, Rina, was holding her arms and standing in front of the restaurant. Her eyes happened to look back at him.

“I have called Feisha to pick me up…” she said lightly.

“…I want to ask why you’re here.”

Xia Yu spread his hands. The proud girl came with the car. Why didn’t she go with the car? But the old man’s departure made him feel upset, so he just entered the store with hands in his pockets.

“How tiring is it to standing outside? Come in and sit down.”

Xia Yu did not wait for Rina’s response. He went upstairs, closed the bathroom door, washed his face, and brushed his teeth.

Looking at himself in the mirror with a green face, his eyes were not confused. There was only a kind of helplessness.

The old man left two days earlier than he planned. Last night, he had just completely digested the contents of the cooking manual and was prepared to show off to the old man. Unexpectedly, this morning, the old man hurried away.

Was he so hurried to return to the country?

Xia Yu shook his head and dismissed his thoughts. His eyes were eager.

From today onwards, he was the manager and chef of Xia’s Chinese Restaurant!

“System: Complete the task [Inherit Chinese Cuisine Shop].”

“Reward: [Jade Knife] (Purple Kitchenware).”

“Your culinary skill level is increased to LV.6 and you get 1 free talent point.”

Unexpectedly, the system pop-up showed a row of information when he brushed his teeth.

“The data of Xia’s Chinese Restaurant has been analysed and modelled. The host can view the restaurant panel through this system.”

“Reward kitchenware has been included in the personal inventory.”

Restaurant panel?

Xia Yu tried to open it, then his mouth full of white foam opened wide.

The restaurant was transformed into a holographic projection which appeared in front of his eyes. Each area was marked with text, such as the signboard of the store, the dining area of ​​the storefront, the kitchen area, the ingredients area, the living areas on the second and third floors, and the backyard.

He found the ‘Tongue of God’ sitting a little irritability on a chair in the storefront, constantly changing her position.

Rina’s face showed a gritted expression, her tempting red lips kept opening, like a vent of cursing. Xia Yu craned his ears and vaguely heard, “…That commoner actually left me here!”

“Damn it!”

“Why hasn’t Feisha arrived yet?”

There were 3D holographic images plus sound. Xia Yu was dumbfounded.

This was really a comprehensive monitoring!

Under this kind of monitoring system, Xia Yu, who had now been promoted to the owner of the small shop, was filled with a sense of security.

“Upgrade?” In the dining area, glancing over the tables and chairs, Xia Yu found a strange option. “This upgrade needs to cost 1000 fame points…”

Are you kidding me?

A thousand points of fame. When will I get it?

“The host currently has a fame value of 220.” The system alerted him.

“How come I have 210 more points?” Xia Yu was shocked.

Then, a system log popped up:

“Food is publicized on microblog, forum and other online platforms. More people know about the existence of the restaurant and you. Fame value +10.”

There were many logs like this, each showing +10, with a total of 21.

Briefly, Xia Yu clapped his head, and thought of the travel notes written by the Chinese girl last night after tasting the food.

Last night he and the two had already followed each other.

Thinking about it, Xia Yu washed his face, then went back to his bedroom. He found his mobile phone and skilfully logged on to the Weibo platform that had the most users in China. The Weibo number with the ID of ‘Moon Food Street’ was among the number of 1000 followers.

A long microblog stood high at the top, with thousands of forwards and thousands of comments.

“Only 600,000 fans, but there are so many forwards and comments…” Xia Yu was surprised. It could be seen from the data that the fan viscosity of the Chinese girl was very high. In other words, they were all high-quality fans with full loyalty. 

Opening the comment section, there were all kinds of comments.

“Are you sure that the picture is authentic without post-processing? This dish arouses my appetite. Just looking at the picture, it looks delicious.”

“Oh… Nihon, Tokyo, Ameyoko? What should I do? The coordinates are quite close, but the price is so expensive. Come out and see if I don’t kill you. The food cost has already passed 100,000 yen this month. Help…”

“Upstairs local tyrants take me. International student +1.”

Click.

Mobile phone screen locked. Xia Yu just picked some comments and glanced at it to know where the extra fame came from.

He changed his pajamas and trousers and went downstairs to the store counter. He saw that Rina was still sat there.

The ‘Tongue of God’ may not realize how attractive her sitting position at this moment was. The slender legs overlapped. The originally short plaid skirt was slightly raised. 

Xia Yu glanced at her. The first thing that appeared in his eyes were long legs covered with black stockings, and the white gap of thigh.

It was almost in the absolute realm of girls.

He smiled. “Rina, have you had breakfast? Would you like me to make one more for you?”

“Please call me by my surname. I am not familiar with you.” The Tongue of God was disgusted. “Moreover, I had breakfast two hours ago, and I am not hungry now.”

“You have been here twice, but we are not familiar yet? I prefer to call people by their names. It seems closer.”

Xia Yu stood in front of the kitchen counter. He reached out and touched the inventory of the Chef God System and held a white jade forged knife in his hand.

The width of the knife was estimated to be only two fingers, and the blade was narrow and long. Overall, it seemed to be a fruit knife. Of course, this was when the material of this knife was forcibly ignored.

The most incredible thing was that the white kitchen knife was constantly emitting a chill, as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

“[Jade Knife] (Purple): You think it is a fruit knife, but it can split the mountain and crack stone. Use it to process meat ingredients. The cold emitted by the knife can temporarily lock the freshness of the meat. The freshness of the meat can be maintained for seven days without being frozen.”

Good knife!

As soon as his eyes lit up, Xia Yu turned to the wooden tray beside the kitchen counter and took out the water tofu that was made last night.

Dong, dong, dong…

The jade knife was very light, and Xia Yu cut the tofu effortlessly. With the collision of the tip of the knife and the chopping board, thin strips of tofu flew out under Xia Yu’s hands. At last, it became about half a bowl of tofu filaments, piled on the chopping board.

Xia Yu could not hide the excitement in his eyes. The long tofu thread was pulled by his fingers.

This knife’s improvement of his knife skills was different from the improvement obtained by assigning talent points. Describing it properly, it was like a chef that felt bad when they used blunt knives. Kitchenware was very important for chefs, like swords for knights.

He threw the knife back into the inventory of the Chef God System. When he wanted to use it, he could take it out with a single thought.

It was about 10 o’clock in the morning. Xia Yu was hungry. He showed off his culinary skills with the tofu flower he made last night. He cooked two bowls of tofu flower with brown sugar water. It was still vegetarian. There was no shredded meat and only walnuts and fried peanuts.” Do you want coriander?”

Xia Yu put out two bowls of tofu flower on the counter and asked the ‘Tongue of God’.

“…” Rina’s forehead creased with faint blue veins. “I said it, I had breakfast!”

She was still arrogant.

“I had a French breakfast. Toast, milk, and fried eggs. What is yours? Tofu? That’s the food for commoners…”
