CH.276 The Moon Dumpling Festival, Begin!
After Zheng Ke and the Polestar Liaozhong had breakfast, they set off early and came to the venue of the Far Moon School Park.
Because many first-year students have been eliminated, the number of students is not as crowded as expected. In order to hear Nagi Kiri Senzaemon's speech clearly, everyone basically leaned in front.
Reporters and a large number of customers were all held at the entrance of the venue by security guards, waiting for the school to announce the entry of visitors.
Zheng Ke and the other ten heroes stood at the front of the team, a little listless.
"What's wrong? didn't sleep well?" asked Ichusei in a whisper.
Zheng Ke shook his head, "No, it's okay today, right?" ”
Based on last year's experience, Zheng Ke could almost guess that he would sing the school song again after a while. But he didn't remember the lyrics at all, and he didn't usually sing much, so he could only fill up the numbers indiscriminately this time.
Nagi Senzaemon took a huge step and climbed the high platform, and his burly figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Welcome to this festival. As we all know, the Mooncake Festival is actually a food event that all students can participate in, and everyone can show off their cooking skills during these seven days. At the same time, the Moon Festival is also an opportunity for people outside the school to learn about the Far Moon Academy. Therefore, I hope that everyone can enjoy the joy of food while showing their cooking skills to the outside world......"
The students at the scene listened carefully to Nagi Senzaemon's speech, and the excitement in their hearts was also revealed on their faces.
"And ...... Next, please sing the school song of the Enzuki Charyo Culinary Academy......" said Nagi Senzaemon loudly.
Really......
Zheng Ke lowered his head weakly, still unable to escape.
At this moment, the song gradually sounded from the crowd, and it was the school song that began with "In the Embrace of the Land of Winter".
Zheng Ke opened his mouth and filled up the number indiscriminately, and finally waited for the singing to finish.
"Now, I announce that the Moon Dumpling Festival has officially begun!"
As soon as Nagi Senzaemon gave the order, the students in the playground immediately walked towards their stalls, and at the same time, the security guards at the entrance of the venue also made way to open the way, and customers poured into the venue like a tidal wave.
Kohei looked at the crowd of tourists with a look of surprise.
"Senior, this number is too much, right?"
"In previous years, there were not as many people as this year, and this year is an exception. Ichshiki Hui fastened the cuffs with white strips of cloth and looked at the guests who came in with a smile on her face.
"Eh, why?" asked Kohei Sozane, confused.
"Because Zheng Ke has placed advertisements in several media this year - it is estimated that as long as you have time, you will come, right? Xingping, you have to be careful, you may be very tired today. Issehui reminded.
"Don't worry, my physical strength will definitely be fine!" Zheng Ke touched his nose and said excitedly.
……
Other shops are crowded with people, and even the diners in Gaotai District far exceed those of the previous year. But Zheng Ke's store was empty.
Guests who book in advance only start at noon, so Zheng Ke spends the morning preparing the ingredients for the afternoon.
Of course, in order to prevent some diners from 'entering the restaurant by mistake', Zheng Ke very humanely simply blocked the door with a telescopic railing, and wrote on the signboard that only orders from customers who have reservations will be accepted.
However, even so, there are still some people who want to come in, and Zheng Ke can only explain with an apology.
Near noon, Yuji Iwai walked into the restaurant with a young man.
Zheng Ke saw that it was Yuji Iwai, said hello, and continued to bow his head to handle his ingredients.
Iwai Yuji was silent and sat on the seat on one side, and the young man who came in with Iwai Yuji was obviously more excited, and several times he wanted to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Iwai Yuji in a low voice, and finally he could only find a place to sit down.
After about half an hour, Zheng Ke finally came out of the kitchen and said hello to Yuji Iwai.
"Mr. Zheng, why don't you find a helper?" asked Yuji Iwai.
"Of course I can find a helper or something, but it's not interesting. I didn't open a store to make money. Zheng Ke said casually.
"Don't you set the price so high to make money?" the young man asked.
Zheng Ke was stunned for a moment and saw this young man. He was about twenty-one or twelve years old and had short black hair. The appearance is relatively ordinary, and it looks like a college student who has not yet stepped into society, or an otaku.
"What do you say? As the winner of the-blue Asia, of course, you have to set the price higher. If it's set too low, isn't it self-defeating?" Yuji Iwai glared at this person fiercely, obviously he had already told him not to talk nonsense, but as a result, when he saw Zheng Ke, he asked such a sharp question.
"This is ......," Zheng Ke looked at Yuji Iwai curiously.
"I'm a third-year college student and I know a little bit about filming, so I volunteered automatically. My name is Kyogoku Nata, and I love your cooking. The young man picked up the camera that hung around his neck.
"Have you ever eaten my food?" Zheng Ke asked curiously, he didn't remember cooking for Kyogoku Nata.
"No, just watched it on TV and video. Kyogoku Nada scratched his head in embarrassment.
"That's right, but you may not know that the reserve price I gave to "Gourmet" was 5,000 yen, and it was automatically auctioned. As for how high I can shoot, it's not up to me to control. Like you said, a dish can cost hundreds of thousands of yen, but have you ever thought that if it costs a few thousand yen, I'll lose money? So, I also took a big risk. Zheng Ke explained.
"However, not many people, such as students, like me, do not have the opportunity to eat fine food. Kyogoku Nada said urgently.
Zheng Ke nodded and rubbed his hands twice, "In this way, you may be very unhappy, but I still have to explain that my cooking this time is not prepared for ordinary diners." Moreover, you can go out and see what the price of the store of Yuanyue Shijie is in Gaotai District. The price of a single dish of Senior Tsukasa should be between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan, and the price of Erina Nagiri's dishes is also around 100,000 yen. I'm a bit more expensive, but I make 10 dishes a day, so I spend more time on one dish than I can on several of them. If time is to measure the value of a bright product, in fact, my dishes are not expensive.
"Of course I know that there are a lot of people who want to eat delicious food, and I will do the same, but I'm not running a restaurant right now. For me, the biggest effect of the seven-day moon festival is to test my cooking skills. Therefore, what I need most is a gourmet, or someone who eats food regularly, and their comments on the food may or may not allow me to find some inspiration, or lack of food. Therefore, this time, the gourmets are my customers, and the rich people who eat food often are also my customers. As for some ordinary people, I can only say that I am sorry this time, and next time if I have the opportunity, I will definitely let more people eat delicious food. ”
Hearing Zheng Ke's words, Kyogoku Naita also calmed down and bowed his head and remained silent.
