Chapter 8: Conspiracy
"Hurry up and get to the point, I'm not here to play games with you," Juro Koizumi said as he strode into the room and sat cross-legged in the middle of the crowd.
"Hehe~ We all know that Koizumi-kun's time is precious, but I believe that after we reach a cooperation between the two sides, Koizumi-kun will feel that the gains from these hours are worth it" After seeing Koizumi Juro's unkind move, the eldest of the crowd put on a smiling face and persuaded with a kind face.
"Don't talk nonsense, just say it directly, is it true that you said on the phone that you want to fund me to open a store?"
"Of course it's true, the money will be prepared by the thirteen shopkeepers here together, you can rest assured"
"So, how much profit do you want?"
"No, we don't need your store's profits"
"What?! That... What do you want from me? ”
"What we need is Koizumi-kun's skills to cook WGO three-star certified dishes."
"Don't think about it, since I want to open my own store, I just don't want to be constrained anymore and can make my own decisions. If you just want me to change bosses, then this conversation is over. Since you have wasted so much of my precious time, we will not have the next cooperation" After speaking, Koizumi stood up with an angry face, and was about to leave.
"Wait, Koizumi-kun misunderstood, we need Koizumi-kun's technology, which is to be used to defeat someone, not to want to hire you for a long time. As long as this person is defeated, our money will belong to Koizumi-kun, and whether Koizumi-kun uses this money to open a store or spend it elsewhere, it has nothing to do with us" Seeing Koizumi Juro standing up and leaving, the person led by him hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Which master do you want me to defeat? After hearing that he was not going to hire himself for a long time, Koizumi stopped, but instead of sitting down, he crossed his hands in front of his chest and asked confidently. He is very confident in his cooking skills, and the skills he has honed over the past 30 years in the front line of star-rated restaurants make him not afraid to challenge those master chefs, and even a little eager to try it.
"Koizumi-kun, please look over here, the person we want you to defeat is there" The leader also stood up, pulled Koizumi's shirt, pulled the other party to the side of the window, opened the window and stretched out his hand, and pointed straight to a place in the distance and said.
Because this is the second floor, the location is on the side of the main street, there is no shelter in front, and you can see Lindoug's store when you look at it obliquely.
"The restaurant? Which chef is the owner of the restaurant? "When I saw the Chunguo Pavilion next to Lin Daoge's shop, because I was not familiar with the situation of the store here, I asked which master opened the shop out of caution.
"It's not the western restaurant, it's the one next to the western restaurant."
"The one on the right?"
"The one on the left"
“… Are you insulting me, or are you entertaining me? Is that a hotel? Does that little broken shop need my help? Even if you don't leave it alone, it won't be long before it goes out of business on its own," Juro Koizumi shouted excitedly with a humiliated expression.
"No, no, no, Koizumi-kun don't underestimate the chef of this small shop. The western restaurant next to him is the shop of the second seat of the original ten masters of the Yuanyue School Garden, but in terms of customers, he can't grab the other party."
"Oh~ Those who can become the ten masters of the far moon are all the pride of heaven among our Japanese young people, and they are not even opponents? … Forgive me for my rudeness just now, it is indeed a very worthy opponent" Koizumi Juro showed a hint of surprise when he heard that his opponent was able to suppress the genius of the Ten Masters of Tozuki. But it's just a young man like the Ten Masters of Yuanyue, and he is also very confident that he can defeat him, so he doesn't worry about how powerful the opponent can be, if it is really a very powerful master, he will not be unknown here.
He didn't know that Douglas Lind's neighborhood had become very famous, or that he had achieved it in the last six months, and that was the result of his lazy fame. Now the customers are enough for him to gather wool, no matter how much it is useless, and now there are many customers who can't eat the dishes he cooks every day.
"Yes, that's why we invited Koizumi-kun, and we both believe that Koizumi-kun will definitely bring us victory."
"No, anything is possible before the victory or defeat is known," said Juro Koizumi, who said modestly, had a confident and proud expression on his face.
"Yes, Koizumi-kun can be so cautious, we are more relieved, and sure enough, the choice of inviting Koizumi is very correct."
"That's right, Mr. Koizumi must do his best to win this game."
"It's up to you, Koizumi-kun, I wish Wuyun prosperity!"
"I wish you good luck!"
The others in the room who had been listening also sent their support and blessings in due course.
"Thank you for your blessings, but I want to know, how can you be sure that the other side dares to fight?"
"On this point, we still got inspiration from the Far Moon Academy"
"Oh?"
"Koizumi-kun should know,There is a more radical rule in the Far Moon Academy.,It's called the Halberd Battle, right?"
"That's right, I've also heard of this kind of interesting school rule, as long as both parties agree, and then after the approval of the Halberd Association, and then invite an odd number of referees, you can use the resources owned by both sides as a bet to have a cooking duel between chefs, and the winning side will have everything" The rules of Koizumi Juro vs. Halberd Duel are like a few treasures, obviously not just as simple as having heard of it.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Koizumi-kun to know a lot about halberd battles."
"Ah~ Because there happened to be a graduate of the Far Moon School in the restaurant where I worked before.,The most mentioned thing in the chat is the halberd battle.,That's why I know so much" Koizumi Juro was rare, and explained with an embarrassed expression.
"Clearly, speaking of this halberd battle, we decided to imitate it and also have a halberd battle with the other party, betting on our two stores. He is one, we are thirteen, as long as he wins, he can get, we have all the shops here, a total of thirteen, and if he loses, he only needs to pay for that small broken shop. Just ask ~ who can refuse such a bet? The elder at the head spoke on behalf of the others about this gambling fight that would be put to death, and the others also showed a ruined expression at the right time.
"......" Not to mention the opponent he has never met, even Koizumi Juro himself showed a longing expression, eager to replace him, but he is still fighting for a star restaurant of his own, this duel involves a large amount of gambling in a total of thirteen stores, Lin Douge's small broken shop was ignored by him, and he now believes that the opponent will definitely not be able to refuse such a temptation.
"We'll invite a notary public to the scene, and someone from the WGO as a referee, as well as interviews with journalists. At that time, Koizumi-kun can promote his shop to reporters by the way after the game, and it can be regarded as a wave of advertisements for free" When the leader said to reporters, he glanced at Koizumi Juro meaningfully.
Koizumi Juro quickly understood the deep meaning of this look, and invited the reporter to this trick to prevent him, for fear that he would release water in the game and accidentally lose the game, and the pressure arranged for him. What else do you say about advertising, hehe~ If you lose, it will really be widely known, of course, he has full confidence to win this duel, and he accepted this free advertisement unceremoniously.
