Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 124
Proportion of repeat customers.

The success of a restaurant is always measured, and Izakaya is no exception.

This recurring pattern of turning strangers into regular customers, and regular customers into new customers, is exactly a marketing strategy for izakayas.

undeniable.

Regular customers like Kobayashi Gentian.

The scale effect it brings also represents the vitality of this izakaya.

If one day, Kobayashi Ryodan and other regular customers are no longer interested in the izakaya run by Zhang Fan, it means that the "life" of this izakaya is about to come to an end.

……

"Shopkeeper, you are right."

"Among that group of freshmen, there will always be some amazing talents!"

Sighing with a breath of alcohol, Kobayashi Ringtong recalled today's Shoji Shogun duel match and couldn't help but sigh.

She vaguely remembered that when she was serving as an admissions examiner, she had never seen Alice Nakiri in the examination room.

So the only explanation that makes sense is that she should have enrolled in Yuanyue as a special admissions student.

However, what was even more unforeseen was that this special student dared to challenge the entire Dessert Cuisine Research Association on just the first day of school.

Finally, he was able to beat the shit out of sophomore Hakuin Huikaku with an unexpected molecular dessert dish.

"how?"

"Didn't I just say last time that the freshmen's cooking was very poor?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, he knew that something happened after school started that irritated Xiaolin Rgentian, and couldn't help but ask.

"Ok!"

"It's really all bad."

"But in Yuanyue, there is also a special enrollment that can directly avoid the entrance examination."

"The other eldest lady of the Nakiri family enrolled in Totsuki as a special admissions student, and she stole the show today!"

Putting down his wine glass, Kobayashi Ringtong began to explain in detail the situation of today's Shokugeki match.

……

Very competitive.

Sometimes, it's just an illusion.

What I really cannot accept is my own worthlessness.

Even among all the freshmen, Nakiri Alice is definitely at the top level with her current strength!
But she wants to win Erina too much. This paranoia and desire will make her make wrong judgments on some things, especially the gap between the two in reality, which makes her often feel worried and anxious.

Therefore, on the first day of school, she did something that shocked the entire Totsuki Academy.

"Hurry is not enough."

"She is too anxious to express herself, and she is afraid that she will suffer backlash later."

At this moment, Zhang Fan frowned after hearing about Alice's deeds after school started.

Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between good and bad competitiveness, and there is no need to restrain or cultivate it.

But she often pursues success too much, pursues too much the victory of a goal, and when she faces failure, that sense of frustration will make her collapse even more!

In fact.

In Zhang Fan's impression.

Alice, the concept of winning or losing is not that strong.

She competed with Erina because the cake she made when she was a child was not approved by her.

She might do more nonsense than Erina in many things, but her frank and sincere character made Zhang Fan admire her very much.

After all, she is also the eldest lady of the Nakiri family. To get along with her, she must get along much better with Erina.

"That's right. If you show your trump card so quickly now, I'm afraid you will be more easily targeted by other students in the future." "How cruel is the competition in Yuanyue? How fierce? It seems that a special enrollment student like her who has transferred here temporarily has not yet You can really experience it!"

In response to Zhang Fan's words, she, Xiaolin Gentian, nodded and expressed her approval.

However, that wonderful Shokugeki competition, her performance, and her cooking gave Kobayashi Ritsou a strong feeling, that is:

If she is allowed to continue to grow, I am afraid that in the near future, she will completely threaten the status of these ten heroes.

To say that she is the closest to the top ten is actually not an exaggeration at all!
……

"Cool!"

"I haven't been to the izakaya for a few days. Has everything changed so much now?"

At this moment, a group of people came to the izakaya.

The person walking at the front was a girl with chestnut-brown hair and a bun.

As soon as she pushed the door open and walked in, she was stunned by the new dining environment of the izakaya, and then she couldn't help but her eyes gleaming.

"Oops! If it weren't for the Spring Fruit Pavilion next door, I would have thought I was in the wrong place."

Ryoko Sakaki, who followed closely behind, covered her mouth and looked a little surprised.

For this izakaya, she now feels both strange and familiar.

Then, Isshiki Kei, Marui Zenji, Imusaki Shun, Aoki Daigo, Sato Shoji, and the transfer student Yukihei Soma, this group of people also walked in one after another.

Especially the stranger Yukihei Soma, he kept looking at this strange izakaya with his eyes right after he came in.

Amazing!

excitement!
meditation!
Confuse!

The expression on his face began to become extremely complicated.

Perhaps for him, who has also run a restaurant, this unique izakaya has an inexplicable fondness for him.

But on the other hand, it was also difficult for him to understand why the boarders in Jixing Residence had to come here just to hold a reception to welcome his transfer student?

"Shopkeeper, these... these are some biscuits I made myself."

Later, Tadokoro, who slowly walked into the izakaya, gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and delivered a box of exquisite biscuits to Zhang Fan with a slightly red face.

"Tasokoroe, you can still come with them. You must have passed the first assessment after the start of school, right?"

Zhang Fan did not quickly accept the gift, but asked with a smile on his face.

"This... this..."

"Shop owner, I really appreciate you for successfully passing the assessment this time!"

Tasokoroe quickly lowered her head, stretched the biscuit in her hand further in front of Zhang Fan, and replied in an excited tone.

"Ok?"

"Thank me for what?"

When Zhang Fan saw this, he pretended to be stupid and asked.

"Shopkeeper, you don't know."

"The cooking topic of this assessment is actually Burgundy red wine beef stew."

"Fortunately, you told me all the recipes for this dish when we were at the izakaya, otherwise I might have been kicked out of school."

"So in order to express my gratitude to you, I made cookies, and... I hope you can accept them."

"Good good."

"I appreciate your kindness!"

In the end, Zhang Fan did not refuse. After all, it would be a bit pretentious to refuse.

And seeing him finally accepting the box of biscuits, Tian Sohui couldn't help but feel even happier in her heart.
