Chapter 7: Chapter 3: God’s tongue came into the play

“Hello!”

The middle-aged men showed a very comfortable attitude, as if he was the host. It made Xia Yu quite uncomfortable.

The guy who had eaten half of his supper had to pay a price. Thinking about it, Xia Yu could only reach out and say: “Money-”

“Money?” The middle-aged man was stunned.

Xia Yu pointed to the empty bowl. “Pay for the meal. Or do you want to eat without paying?”

“How much?”

“Well, let me see. It is a limited supper today. There are only two bowls. If you eat one, you will be charged 10000 yen,” Xia Yu said casually.

He just wanted to stir up this impolite guy.

Whether he was an acquaintance or someone else, Xia Yu would not be polite. He was resentful to the guy who divided half of his hearty meal.


Unexpectedly, middle-aged man did not bargain and talk nonsense. He took out his wallet from his black coat pocket and took out a ten thousand yen note and put it on the table. He smiled slightly. “If I can use my money to eat the dishes of Boss Xia every day, I would rather go bankrupt.” 

Xia Yu was too shocked to speak.

In Tokyo, a bowl of ramen was usually six hundred or seven hundred yen. It was equivalent to more than 40 yuan.

And ten thousand yen was more than six hundred yuan, which could buy more than ten bowls of ordinary ramen. 

There was no need to say it. Only a rich man could spend 10000 yen to eat a bowl of ramen. Xia Yu put the ten thousand yen note into his pocket without hesitation.

He ate bread every day and blamed the old man for being too stingy. The old man only gave him a thousand yen a day for living. 

What is the concept of a thousand yen?

The bento in the shop costs 400 yen each, and a box of instant noodles costs 100 to 250 yen. Of course, since Xia Yu could go to school by bike, he could get rid of the daily train transportation fee. Otherwise, Xia Yu would be hungry for at least one meal a day.

Xia Yu had to pay more attention to the discount news in the store. When he saw that the half-price bento was about to expire, he immediately turned into a bicycle expert to buy it. Luckily, even though he often ate expired bento, he had not had a serious illness of vomiting or diarrhoea.

In short, have you seen a time traveller like this before? Xia Yu put his hand in his trousers pocket and kept rubbing the smooth paper surface of the ten thousand yen note with his fingertips. He was already thinking about where to go for a big meal to supplement nutrition.

“Are you Xia Yu?”

The middle-aged man took back his wallet and looked at Xia Yu with interest.

“Real as a fake substitute.”

At this time, Xia Yu felt more friendly when he looked at the middle-aged man’s face.

The middle-aged nodded and did not ask again, but looked at the old man in the kitchen and said, “Boss Xia…”

The old man walked out of the kitchen door and stood behind the counter with his arms crossed. It was cool.

“Mr. Masato, what can I do for you?” the old man asked.

“Boss Xia, is this your grandson?” The middle-aged man pointed to Xia Yu. When he saw the old man nodding, he chuckled. “I agree to do what you ask me to do. But since this is your grandson, I want to see his cooking skills. After all, you are leaving. I need a substitute.” 

“Come in.” The old man looked serious and spoke to the stunned Xia Yu. 

Xia Yu walked through the store to the kitchen subconsciously.

He did not notice what middle-aged man said at all. He was excited at the task reminder given by the Chef God System at the moment:

“Make a supper that satisfies Shinhara Masato, and the host can complete the initial mission.”

Standing in front of the cooking counter in the kitchen, Xia Yu was soon confused.

He could not cook at all!

He looked at the old man next to him for help, but the old man still embraced his arms with a cool look. “When I was your age, I was already a master chef. I held up our Xia’s brand independently. It’s your turn now.”

Please, don’t!

Xia Yu was very anxious. “When did you teach me how to cook, old man?”

What’s more…’When I was your age’… How about using less of these sentences? The times are different!

As if aware of his inner thoughts, the old man shook his head and said, “Why do you think I cook different dishes for you every night? This is the simplest and easiest dish. If you haven’t mastered the cooking method of one or two dishes, it means that you haven’t focused on improving your cooking skills. You have lost the spirit of Xia!”

The more the old man said, the more serious he became.

Both the system and the old man put pressure on him. Xia Yu took a deep breath. He had realized that he had to do it. 

The question is, what kind of food would he make for supper?

Xia Yu clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it hard on right palm. “Beef Ramen! That’s it!”

He turned to the store and shouted, “Mr. Shinhara, would you mind another bowl of beef ramen?”

Shinhara Masato was sitting there quietly. Of course, he listened to the conversation between the old man and Xia Yu. 

It seemed that Xia’s next generation was not very good at cooking. He could see Xia Yu’s nervousness. However, the old man did not show any inner emotions from his old face.

“Of course, I don’t mind if it’s delicious,” Shinhara Masato answered with a smile.

“Then please wait…”

Xia Yu stood in front of the kitchen table, and a special high gluten flour for ramen was on the table. A big pot of water had been burned on the gas stove by him, and soon it would start to boil. 

To make ramen, one must first solve the problem of noodles.

There were no ready-made noodles in the shop, Xia Yu could only pull them by himself. To do a good job in making noodles required proficient basic skills, such as kneading, slipping, rubbing, noodle drawing and placing the noodles in and out of the pot. Each link could not be ignored because it would affect the final taste. 

 System: “Hi host, you have a binding novice gift bag that you have not yet received. It is recommended that you collect it first and then start to make your first dish.”

What the hell is a novice gift bag?

Xia Yu was not upset when his thinking was interrupted. Instead, he was filled with curiosity. 

Di.

There was a clear sound in his brain. A tree-like talent map, like those in the games, appeared in front of Xia Yu’s retina.

Culinary Level: LV.2

Unused talent points: 1

“When did my culinary level upgrade from LV.1 to LV.2? Eh, I got a talent point for upgrading?” Xia Yu was stunned.

So, the Chef God System gave him a detailed system log:

On July 20th, 2016, at 7:36pm, the host processed ten meat ingredients and obtained 10 experience points.

On July 20th, 2016, at 8:20pm, the host processed ten seafood ingredients and gained 10 experience points.

On July 20th, 2016, at 9:00pm, the host processed ten dishes of vegetables and obtained 10 experience points. 

The system log recorded to the past midnight.

On July 20th, 2016, at 7:36pm, the host processed ten meat ingredients and obtained 10 experience points.

On July 20th, 2016, at 8:20pm, the host processed ten seafood ingredients and gained 10 experience points.

On July 20th, 2016, at 9:00pm, the host processed ten dishes of vegetables and obtained 10 experience points.

The system log recorded to after midnight.

The culinary level from LV.1 to LV.2 could be upgraded with only 100 points of experience, but LV.2 to LV.3 was a tenfold increase, requiring 1000 points of experience.


“Get the novice gift bag!” Xia Yu decided to take the gift bag first.

System: “The host gets a free virtual turntable draw.”

A turntable interface popped up with a detailed text introduction next to it.
