297. Culture Festival (1): Welcome to a Membership-Only Restaurant!

"Autumn is full of autumn and the maple flowers are gorgeous. Today is the annual cultural festival of the private Ember Academy, and I am honored to be able to come and join us! ”

At the opening ceremony at 8 a.m., representatives of the Cultural Festival Executive Committee and the Student Council stood on the podium in the gymnasium and gave speeches in front of more than 1,000 spectators.

"At this year's cultural festival, our teachers and students have prepared a wealth of activities and programs for the big family, I hope everyone can have fun and enjoy the humanistic way of Xiushen Academy!"

At the end of the speech, teachers, students and visitors from outside the school dispersed one after another, and the school gradually became lively.

The campus is full of long banners, bunting and other colorful paper-cut decorations, which are basically the masterpieces of the art department.

In the classroom of the second class of the second year, General Tang Zegui is leading the students to make the final preparations.

"Heat up that ingredient in the microwave!"

"What about the atmosphere group? The atmosphere group is in place! ”

"Waiter! Stand in a row! Finally, memorize the rules of work! ”

"Why is this table lame, go to the equipment room to find a new table!"

"Tourists have ten minutes to arrive, speed up! Sprint! Rush! ”

Soon, the first visitors arrived on the floor of the second-grade classroom, and they were greeted by the shouts of the wet market:

"Maid Cafe! Come and see the Maid Cafe! JK, the most beautiful big beauty in the whole grade, personally serves! ”

"Let's do divination! Student luck, career luck, love luck, past life and future life. Anything can be measured! It's only 100 yen at a time! ”

"A haunted classroom with the theme of campus weirdness, come and experience it!"

Tang Zegui will stand at the door of the classroom with the sign of "Food Appreciation Party" and instruct: "Everyone also cheer up, don't let the other classes snatch away the guests!" ”

Immediately, several boys in the same class shouted with him:

"Welcome to the [Food Appreciation Party]! It's a place where you'll never taste it in your life! ”

The effect of the publicity was immediate, and soon ten tourists patronized the food appreciation meeting, including seven students and two parents, and a reporter with a video camera.

"Welcome, please come in, please come in!" The classroom has been set up to look like a members-only dining room, and Tang Zegui will personally welcome ten people to be seated:

"It's really fateful that you are the first guests of the [Food Appreciation Party]!"

"I heard that there are strange delicacies here that we can't taste in our lives, so I'm curious~" A student was already impatient: "Serve it quickly!" I can't wait! ”

"Of course, this is the menu, please take a look." Tang Zegui will be wearing a suit, like a chubby waiter foreman.

Everyone took the menu, only to see that the names of the dishes were written on it:

[Russian Turntable Takoyaki (300 yen) - A passionate duel with the store manager, there are rewards for winning, and punishments for losing! 】

[Smelling and eating (500 yen) - a super popular alternative Yanhuang cuisine that you have never tasted, recommended by Mr. Chen, a lover of Yanhuang cuisine! 】

[Don't Cry Challenge (450 yen) - Let's challenge the Sichuan, Super Devil Spicy, Turkey, and Dandan Noodle Big Stomach King Record!] 】

【. 】

"Human beings have three major desires, which are appetite, sleep, and reproduction. As the saying goes, people take food as the sky, and appetite has always been the desire that human beings pay the most attention to. Tang Zegui put his hands in front of him, and he had the temperament of a professional waiter:

"We're not just a members-only restaurant, we're an interactive challenge restaurant. Each dish on the menu is actually a food game with different food themes, and guests can choose the food game they are interested in to challenge. ”

"Our goal is to bring our guests the most exciting, ingenious and memorable culinary experience! We hope you enjoy it! ”

The guests were intrigued and called the waiter to come and order.

According to the normal service process, guests have to pay the corresponding "meal fee" to choose a food game. A waiter will then serve the food and engage in a one-on-one challenge with the guests.

"This guest, you have chosen the [Russian Turntable Takoyaki] Challenge!" Noble General Karasawa was also one of the waiters, and he came to a customer's table with a box of six takoyaki and respectfully placed the food and two forks on the table:

"Allow me to explain the rules of this game. To put it simply, there is a lot of wasabi added to this box of takoyaki, and if you swallow it, you will definitely faint with spicy~"

"Eh, that sounds scary, so which one has mustard on it?" The customer was stunned and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Of course it's a secret~" Tang Zegui smiled mysteriously: "Next, the customer and I will take turns to eat the takoyaki in the box, and we can only eat one at a time." In other words, there is a 1/2 chance that each of us will end up eating that super wasabi takoyaki. ”

"As long as you don't eat wasabi takoyaki the whole time, you're the winner, and we'll give you a free box of the normal version of takoyaki and special sour plum tea as a reward. Conversely, if you eat takoyaki with wasabi, you have to play a punishment game. ”

The customer hesitated: "Isn't that just a gamble of pure luck?" ”

"That being said, there is actually a hidden rule in the game." Tang Zegui stretched out a finger and said:

"Even if you eat takoyaki with wasabi, as long as you can hold your face and pretend that you have eaten normal takoyaki. In other words, when the challenge is over, you don't reveal the fact that you ate takoyaki with wasabi, in which case it is a tie, and the tie is still won by the customer. ”

"In other words, as long as you don't expose it after eating." The customer finally got a little confidence: "Okay, let's race!" ”

“.”

Three minutes later

"Ahhh Going to die, going to die! The nose is going to explode! Tang Zegui pinched his nose and rolled on the ground, tears and snot spurting everywhere: "Hmph, hum, ah!! ”

"Hey, hey. That's how much wasabi is added." The customer looked at the empty cardboard box with trepidation, and then couldn't help but laugh. When he made a choice from the last two takoyaki just now, he was so frightened that cold sweat rushed out of his forehead, but fortunately, he chose the right one in the end.

"Congratulations, please accept the prize, guest!" Another waiter brought over a box of normal takoyaki and a cup of sour plum tea, and then dragged Tang Zegui to rinse his face with water.

"Thank you. Let's let this waiter take it easy, it's really a Russian turntable." The customer took the prize and left the [Food Appreciation Meeting] while eating:

"It's a lot of fun, and I would recommend it to my friends."

At the same time, other tables are taking on a variety of culinary challenges.

"Oooh! This snail noodle dish smells like, but it tastes so good! If you think about it carefully, the smell should come from the pickled bamboo shoots inside! ”

"Help! It's spicy! This bowl of dandan noodles is very fragrant at the beginning, but the aftertaste is so spicy! Water! Ah, water! My mouth is burning! ”

Tourists came in one by one to participate in the food challenge, and although some liked and some hated it, the overall feedback from customers was mostly positive, and Tang Ze and others were also very busy.

Of course, there are occasional customers in the restaurant who don't follow the rules of the game and want to disrupt the order.

In such a moment of crisis, Genji Takatsuki, a "hooligan waiter" with a big back and a height of 1.8 meters and a fierce face, will stand up and ask customers whether they want to go out on their own or be beaten and thrown out, and those customers will instantly become good babies.

After more than an hour of busy work, the [Food Appreciation Party] welcomed a young girl customer with short hair and long legs.

"Oh, it's Sister Yachuan!" Seeing an acquaintance, Tang Zegui immediately came up: "Do you want to try it too?" ”

"Eh~ Wait for me, Wenwen!" An aunt who looked a little similar to Senior Sister Yachuan walked in: "The children in the next class are pestering me to divination, and I am really embarrassed, so I asked him to help calculate Wenwen's study and career luck." ”

"I can't stand it, divination is a lie, Mom!" Yagawa Sakuwen sighed: "This is my friend's stall, I'm here to cheer." ”

"Ah, senior sister, are you here with your mother?" Tang Zegui will bow politely like a waiter:

"Welcome, Mother Yachuan. We will provide the best service for your mother and daughter, please be more tolerant if you are not well entertained! ”

"Don't be inhibited, my mom is very casual." Sakumi Wagawa waved his hand: "Because my izakaya is closed in the morning, my mother came to the cultural festival to play." ”

"Ah, you are Wenwen's friend, that is, Kyushu Cheng's friend~" Mrs. Yachuan looked at General Tang Ze with a smile: "Thank you so much for being willing to get along with my daughter, she is taken care of by you." ”

"It's nothing, it's too polite, Yachuan mother!" General Tang Zegui hurriedly waved his hand: "The cultural festival of our class this time can be carried out smoothly thanks to the help of Senior Sister Yachuan!" I just want to thank Sister Yachuan! ”

"Okay, that's all for the polite remarks. People are busy, so hurry up and order! Yachuan Sakuwen muttered, picked up the menu and looked at it: "I'll see if this [smells stinky and eats fragrant] is a dish recommended by Kyushu-kun, right?" I'll give it a try! ”

"Eh~ This [Russian turntable takoyaki] looks so exciting! Let's have fun! Lady Yachuan smiled and pointed to the menu.

Ten minutes later, Yagawa Sakumi put the empty bowl with red oil soup in front of the table and touched his slightly swollen lower abdomen: "This Yanhuang dish called [snail noodles] is really delicious, it smells so stinky." Kyushu Jun's recommendation is really reliable~ By the way, do you want to introduce [snail noodles] in our family? ”

"In this case, the guests will be smoked away~" Mrs. Yachuan smiled and stared at the waiter across the table, with an empty takoyaki box in front of her:

"It's strange, why is no one crying after eating the takoyaki~? Who ate the [bullet] with mustard? ”

"It can't be eaten by the guests!" The waiter on the other side looked incredulous: "How many have you eaten, why hasn't there been any change in expression on your face?!" ”

"Oh, no wonder my nose hurts a little when I eat a certain one~" Mrs. Yachuan quipped confusedly: "Although compared to the previous experience of playing with a motorcycle and breaking your nose with your face on the ground, this degree is the same as a child playing around~"

"What a strong woman who can endure it. This game is a draw, count you as a winner! The waiter threw up his hands in surrender and went to get the winning prize for Mrs. Yachuan.

"It's so interesting, you can eat two takoyaki and a drink for the money of one takoyaki~" Mrs. Yachuan held the normal version of takoyaki and sour plum tea, and her face was still smiling: "Do I want to add this challenge game to the store as well?" ”

"In that case, the customer who cries from the wasabi octopus will definitely complain." Sakumi Yagawa said helplessly:

"By the way, the [Talent Show] is about to start, can you go and have a look?"

"Is it already about to start?" General Tang Zegui looked at his watch and said in surprise: "It's already this time!" ”

The Talent Fair is held in the gymnasium, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, mainly for the clubs and classes that choose "performance activities" to display their achievements.

For example, the "kendo stage play" of the kendo club, the music performances of the light music club and other music clubs, and the drama performances of the Mizuhashi school class will all be exhibited at the "Talent Show".

"I took a look at the list of programs, and Kyushu-kun participated in [kendo stage plays] in the morning and afternoon, and Sister Mizuhashi's drama was also in the morning." Sakufumi Yagawa took out the event flyer:

"Oh yes, Suzuki-san's light music club is also performing in the morning, do you want to go to the show?"

"Of course! During this time, he has been practicing crazy, of course I have to cheer him on! Tang Zegui called the squad leader of Chongshouhe, who was doing the accounts, over and asked:

"Squad leader, can I go and see the [Talent Show] in the morning?"

"No problem. Based on last year's experience, during the [Talent Show], the flow of people in our store should be reduced by 90%, as long as two or three students are left to watch the store. The squad leader replied very dryly:

"I'm not interested in [Talent Show], I'll stay and see the store."

At this time, General Tang Zegui noticed that the customers in the store had obviously decreased, and there were almost no tourists in the corridor, so they should all go to see the [Talent Show].

"Thank you very much!" Tang Zegui will be very happy: "Then I will come to the store in the afternoon, and the squad leader, you can go to see the [Talent Show]!" ”

"Ah, actually, I can visit the store in the afternoon. Forget it, let's do it, thank you. The squad leader nodded slightly, and went back to continue to do the accounts.

"Alright, I need to hurry over, don't be late!" Tang Zegui will change out of the waiter's clothes, and go to finish the work with other classmates, and then call Takatsuki Genji, and then accompany the mother and daughter of Yachuan towards the gymnasium.
