Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. After all, the 'Liu Shui Pavilion' was only open for six hours today, while Ruishan only had two hours to watch the crowd, and it was open for ten hours at other times. If the situation is the same tomorrow, It’s been open for nine hours, so I’ll catch up, and I’ll be able to surpass him from the day after tomorrow!”

Seeing everyone's worried looks, Liu Maoxing explained that tomorrow the "Campus Festival" will resume at 6:00 in the evening.

Well, it's a very simple math problem, but Liu Maoxing doesn't know if Ruishan has any other back-ups...

In fact, Liu Maoxing made some mistakes. Originally, on the first day, because of the evaluation and the short business hours, he was pulled down by Ruishan, which was also expected by Liu Maoxing.

But originally Liu Maoxing thought that on the second day, with the spread of the news, the popularity of "Liu Shui Pavilion" would increase, and then he could easily chase it back, even throwing Ruishan far away!

But now I have discovered a problem, that is, if "Chunguo Pavilion" and "Alchemy Self-help Hall" each have five or six people assisting each other, Liu Maoxing can easily beat the other party, and if each has ten people, Liu Maoxing can far surpass the other. Ruishan...

Why is it just "almost the same" now?

The reason is simple, because although the popularity of the "Alchemy Self-Service Hall" is not as high as that of the "Liu Shui Pavilion", it has also reached the limit of the four opponents.

That is to say, to a large extent, the difference in popularity between the two parties has not been converted into turnover, because Liu Maoxing has no "capacity" to use for his higher popularity than Ruishan!

Many customers who wanted to patronize the "legendary" Liushui Pavilion were scared off by the queue...

In fact, Ruishan is the most shocked person now. Looking at the detailed battle report, he muttered in his mouth: "How is it possible? The turnover is 65% higher than mine? Fortunately, the profit rate is lower, otherwise..."

"Ruishan, it seems to be different from what you said at the beginning?"

"Didn't you say before that that boy in the first grade was mistaken for his cleverness?"

Faced with Ogata's doubts, Rui Shan couldn't help but said, "I still want to ask you guys! Did you put in your best effort? The turnover of 'Liu Shui Ting' surpassed by so much!"

Ruishan knew better than Liu Maoxing that since the "Alchemy Self-help Hall" and "Liu Shui Pavilion" had been full of popularity all the time and had exerted their maximum manpower, it was completely meaningless who was more popular.

That's why he felt relieved afterwards!

Since the popularity of both parties can be regarded as "infinite", it can naturally be ignored. At this time, the comparison is the efficiency of both parties...

And the reason why the popularity of the "Alchemy Self-service Hall" is full is actually the reason why Liu Maoxing passed the "two-star chef" assessment.

A lot of popularity poured into the "Central District", but it is a pity that there are only four people in the "Liu Shui Pavilion", and it is impossible to completely convert the popularity.

If it is a real business, it is natural that "rare things are more expensive", and the popularity can be used by raising prices. With the current situation of "Liu Shui Ting", the price can be doubled, tripled or even more, even if it makes people popular. A ten-fold reduction is also profitable, because for Liu Maoxing, the popularity that can be used is only one-tenth...

Unfortunately, because of the pricing restrictions in the "Central District", Liu Maoxing could only waste a lot of popularity.

At this time, I feel that there are too many people queuing up. Customers who are unwilling to queue for a long time will naturally turn to other shops in the "Central District". At this time, their first choice is naturally "Chinese Cuisine Research Institute" and "Alchemy Self-service Hall" !

Ruishan's self-service restaurant is not really a buffet. It is also 5,000 yen for each dish, but there are many styles...

In terms of efficiency, Rui Shan thought he would win!

Because the three Ogata brothers teamed up, not only can they cook dishes that are not inferior to the Ten Heroes, but they also cooperate seamlessly, and the efficiency is definitely higher than that of the three Ten Heroes!

Plus Ruishan himself, how can it be equivalent to six or seven ten heroes?

However, Ruishan is now surprised to find that the turnover of "Liu Shui Ting" is 60% higher than his in the case of only six hours of operation, which means that the efficiency is almost twice his.

If it wasn't for Ruishan's purchase channels with the best prices, and the collection of more than ten kinds of high-yield recipes that have been tried and tested by various methods, Liu Maoxing might have really turned the tide!

"Have you tried your best? You think we haven't done enough, so we can replace you!" the boss of Ogata's family said coldly.

"Hahaha, I was just joking with the three seniors. Who doesn't know that the three teamed up to eat halberds? Even senior Si Yingshi would not dare to accept the move... It was just tricked by this kid's tricks. Confused, liven up the atmosphere." Rui Shan immediately smirked.

Only then did the three Ogata brothers calm down. Of course...they also knew that they could beat Si Yingshi by joining forces with Shiji.

Ogata and the others were just helping out. After seeing Ruishan softened, they left directly to go back to rest. How to break the situation can only be decided by Ruishan himself.

"It's just three tools! If it weren't for the fact that I can only use you now..." Rui Shan looked at the back of the three leaving with hatred and said.

After staring at Liu Maoxing's terrifying turnover, Rui Shan couldn't help but think of his two fingers, and thought to himself: How did this kid get trained?

The four of Liu Maoxing were not idle either. Mito Yumei and Kitajo Miyoko were in charge of pre-processing the ingredients needed for daily business, such as condensed soup that needed to be prepared in advance...

Meizao Subaru and Liu Maoxing are continuing to study recipes!

That's right, Liu Maoxing has also discovered that with the two current recipes and the same business hours for the next four days, although he can still win Ruishan, it is not safe, and there is no guarantee that Ruishan will not have any trump card.

So what we have to do now is to improve "efficiency"!

Either further simplify the cooking steps of the two kinds of steamed buns and reduce costs, or add new, more efficient dishes that diners will buy.

The latter seems simpler, but there are two kinds of steamed buns that have passed the assessment of one-star and two-star chefs, and the new dishes added must not be too bad, otherwise diners will not choose, and the efficiency cannot be lower than the two kinds of steamed buns, otherwise it doesn't make sense...

The most important thing is that Liu Maoxing cannot participate in the new cooking, because his uninterrupted use of "Eagle Hand" is a guarantee that his efficiency far exceeds that of Ruishan!

If Liu Maoxing is distracted to do other things, the production efficiency of "Golden Smile" will drop...

Among the other three, what Liu Maoxing is most optimistic about is not Miyoko Kitajo, who is good at Chinese cuisine, or Yumei Mito, who is equivalent to being taught by himself, but Subaru Misaku!

One is that Subaru Misaku has a better learning ability, and the other is that he has experience in simplifying cooking... These are the reasons why he can become a "stalker".

So Yu Mei and Hojo are in charge of preparing the ingredients for tomorrow, while Liu Maoxing and Misaku Subaru are researching new recipes.

Of course, don’t think that researching new recipes is a labor-saving task. Yu Mei and Hojo go to rest after ten o’clock, while Liu Maoxing and Misaku Subaru have been discussing until midnight...
