Across Tokyo as Hokage

Chapter 31 Tasting and Pricing

It didn't take long to arrive at the working place.

After working for more than a week, I also know a lot about this "Hanging House" Shangsugi.

The burly store manager who looks like a brown bear is called Mori Keiji, with a rare one-character surname, the proprietress is called Yamanaka Eko, and the one who went to become a bosozoku is called Moriji Ryo.

The name is Jiro, naturally because there is also an eldest daughter.

It is very surprising that despite the fact that the other party is tall and strong and has an extremely mature face, he is actually a middle school student...

Yes, they are middle school students, not high school students or college students!

Just a middle school student, that is, only 15 years old, one year younger than Uesugi, but it seems that even if you are in your 20s, there is no sense of disobedience. This is because of a family genetic disease, but what kind of inheritance I don't know about the disease.

Skillfully hang up the door curtain with the four big characters of "Life Suspended Life", these four words describe the focus on one thing in one's life, and use it to describe the superb skills of the craftsman, but the cooking skills of the brown bear boss - the attitude is worthy of this Four words, level sorry.

"Ms. Zhizi, I wonder if you are interested in tasting this ingredient?" After finishing his own preparations, Uesugi took out the tomato he brought and cut it into six pieces and brought it to Yamanaka Zhizi.

Shan Zhongzhi, who was cleaning the table, stopped, looked at it with bright eyes like water, and sighed softly.

"Uesugi-kun looks very confident!"

She is the real owner of the izakaya, and she understood what Uesugi wanted to do as soon as she heard this.

For her, it doesn't matter where the ingredients are purchased, as long as there are no quality problems, and she has always seen Uesugi's work attitude, so she admires him a little. In the past, those part-time college students only worked for a few days and then ran away.

Look at the tomatoes evenly cut into six petals on the plate. Each petal has clear lines and the same size. From here alone, you can see the power of the knife.

"Genius...!"

This thought flashed in Eko Yamanaka's mind. This level of knife skills can already be regarded as professional-level chefs. His knife skills were not so strong last week.

Pick up a tomato that is still slightly water-stained and eat it.

Refreshing, sweet, juicy and refreshing taste arises, as if eating not a tomato, but some high-grade fruit.

After tasting it, there was a flash of light in Zhizi Yamanaka's eyes, and then he said calmly:

"The House of Suspension will add a new dish starting today, and you will manage the pricing. The benefits have nothing to do with us!"

She was extremely shrewd and immediately made the best choice. It would be better to provide him with a venue instead of cooperating. Anyway, she never expected the Hanging House to make much money.

"...!"

Uesugi thought about countless possibilities in his mind in advance, even if the other party disagreed, it was not because he hadn't thought about it, but he really didn't think that the proprietress would give such an answer, so he was speechless for a while.

Seeing Uesugi's dumbfounded look, Yamanaka Zhiko flashed a smile on her charming and delicate face and pointed to the wall.

"You write the price tag yourself!",
There are wooden signs on the wall with the names and prices of dishes on them. If there is something that cannot be provided, it must be stamped immediately, indicating that it cannot be provided temporarily.

Uesugi could naturally see that the other party was giving him a chance, so he bowed sincerely to thank him.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhizi!"

The other party has taken good care of him since the first day he came to work. Apart from the intimidating and powerful appearance of the brown bear store manager, he is really good in other aspects.

"You don't need to thank me, this is the treatment that this kind of ingredient deserves, but why haven't I heard of this kind of tomato before?"

Yamanaka Keko was very curious.

She asked herself that she had eaten a lot of high-end ingredients, but she had never heard of such a good taste of tomatoes. In addition to the taste of the ingredients themselves, they also had a refreshing feeling that made people feel refreshed.

"Konoha tomato, bred by me!" Uesugi said while speaking, took out a palm-sized blank wooden price tag, and wrote the word 'Konoha tomato' on it, but he hesitated when setting the price.

Because no one will buy it until no one has tasted it. After all, no one will know whether it is good or not until it is tasted.

If the price is low, even for the sake of experimentation, he is not willing. After all, he is short of money. It’s too cheap. It’s better to offer it to Chiyo Dessert Shop. Manager Kobayashi said that he can eat as much as he wants. Now he queues up to buy Konoha’s every day. There are many people.

Yes!

After Chiyo Dessert Store had that sincere long review, more than a dozen people came to the store to taste it that day.

This is because the reviewers were not overly famous food critics. If it was someone like that who posted long reviews, it would not be surprising that more than a thousand people came here on a special trip.

After all, the combined population of Tokyo’s 4000 wards is nearly ten million, and the population of the Tokyo metropolitan area is nearly [-] million. The number of gluttons among them is definitely beyond people’s imagination.

As long as the [-] copies of Konoha are sold out every day, the reputation of Konoha is gradually rising. At this time, the supply is in short supply. Let alone increasing the output several times, even if it is increased by dozens of times, it may not be enough.

In this case, if it wasn't for Uesugi who wanted to experiment with data about vitality, he wouldn't sell it at an izakaya even if he was killed.

[-] yen/plate (special offer)

In the end, he still wrote down the price, but deliberately left the word "special price" at the end, and he firmly believed that it would be more than this price in the future.

It's just that Uesugi is still a little naive.

He thought that if the price was set at an ordinary level, people would order it, but most of the people who come to the izakaya are regular customers. These people don't look at the price, and Konoha Tomatoes are not attractive enough regardless of the price or the name. How can there be people with just a small brand? point, or even hard to remember.

So after a few hours, Konoha Tomato still didn't get ordered. Fortunately, Uesugi's swordsmanship level has reached level three, so he can complete the work even subconsciously, otherwise something might happen if he is distracted.

Today is the weekend, business is better than usual!
In particular, many family members who don't have time to see patients usually come to visit, so the nearby izakaya is overcrowded, and the business of the Suspense House is not bad, there are two full tables of guests.

"excuse me!"

Two guests who probably couldn't find a place elsewhere walked in.

"Welcome!", Eko Yamaguchi handed hot towels to the two guests, and at the same time gave Zhidou.

Zhidou is edamame, an appetizer, not free, similar to a seat fee.

The two of them sat down at the front desk, that is, sat in a circle of single seats around the chef's position. In this position, the food can be delivered directly from the kitchen counter, and they can also watch the chef's every move.

After wiping their hands with a hot towel, one of them said:

"Give us two cups of hot water and two servings of jade first, and the rest is up to the craftsman to decide, just light!" The person who spoke was a beautiful professional woman in a women's suit who looked less than [-] years old. Dress or imposing manner are bone spirits - white-collar, backbone, elite.

The guests who come to the izakaya are often undecided, so they will ask the chef to help them choose.
