Rebirth as a Cooking God

Comics are also a form of propaganda.

In particular, if the comic works of Mashiro Takagi and Akito Takagi become popular all over neon and are exported to the outside world, and when the name of Pig's Knuckle is known to the public, the street where he lives and the shop he wants to protect will naturally become famous as well. .

For example, the recent work Your Name by Makoto Shinkai, although it is an anime rather than a comic, the promotional meaning is the same. Comic fans should know the concept of Holy Land Tour. With the popularity of Your Name abroad and domestically, those real-life locations have immediately become the most popular tourist destinations.

To be closer, there is Your Name, and to be more distant, there are works such as Slam Dunk. It is undeniable that as the works become popular, Kanagawa Prefecture, Shohoku High School, Kamakura, etc., etc. Place names gradually became familiar.

Xia Yu just wanted to make an investment.

He doesn't even need to spend anything substantial. He only uses his professional knowledge to help Mashiro Takagi and Takagi Akito create chef/food comics with royal themes, and then just wait for the harvest. Even if the investment fails, he will There is no loss, and once it succeeds, the manga becomes popular and then adapted into animation...

Just thinking about it, Xia Yu could picture a large wave of tourists coming here to crowd the shopping street. In short, we cannot underestimate the pursuit and respect of people around the world for food.

Taking the two of them upstairs, Xia Yu discussed with them carefully.

It was almost ten o'clock at night. Considering that Mashiro Takashi and Takagi Akito were only high school students and their homes were in Saitama Prefecture outside Tokyo, it was time to catch the train. Xia Yu saw off the excited cartoonist.

They have already exchanged emails and line friends with each other and can contact each other at any time.

The comic matter has come to an end here. Mashiro Takahiro and Takagi Akira are the creators who need to work hard. Xia Yu has no creative experience in this area and cannot help them.

Went downstairs.

The branch is closed today, but the streets outside are still noisy.

Hello, our store is a reservation system and does not accept customers other than reservations. I'm very sorry...

Hattori Ken, a third-year student in Totsuki, stood at the door, bowed to a group of men and women who looked like reporters, and blocked them from the store door.

I'm a TV reporter...

I'm a newspaper reporter!

The sound spread into the store, inevitably affecting the guests who were dining.

Hattori Ken and Igarashi Ohsora looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. Of course they knew that Xia's store was hacked on the Internet. As of tonight, the abusive voices led by Gourmet Food Review had completely suppressed the positive comments. The guests who came to dine today have been whispering.

Step aside!

A voice came from behind.

Lecturer Xia... After Hattori Ken and Igarashi Okora stepped aside, they realized who it was and were shocked.

At this time, Xia Yu was already standing in front of the store.

Food Review exposed the kitchen information of Xia's store, and combined with the store's previous promotion in the ACG circle, the media all knew that the male high school student in front of them was the store manager and chef!

The crowd immediately surrounded Xia Yu.

“May I ask Chef Xia, what do you think of the restaurant reviews from the Food Review?”

Mr. Store Manager, excuse me, can you talk about Xia's branch?

The questions focused on the Xia's branch. There is no doubt that the most popular and discussed restaurant in Tokyo in recent days is the Xia's branch. Mas got off the plane and went straight to the restaurant, and then Gin Dojima and Masato Kanbara arrived one after another. These well-known food industry tycoons came to the platform, adding a lot of mystery to Xia's restaurant.

In the eyes of the public, the Gourmet Food Review is not deliberately trying to be shady. They have good information to support them. The editor-in-chief Kenichiro Shiraishi is the collector of information. He has done a really good job. Before writing an article to criticize, it can be said that he has done enough homework. First, After collecting the identity information of the operator and the chef of Xia's restaurant, they were probably extremely happy when they discovered that the chef and the operator were the same person, and that they were underage male high school students.

Underage chef.

Underage operators.

It's very topical, but it also gives the public a very unreliable impression.

Food review? I'm sorry, I only learned about the existence of such a food media today. You ask me what I think about the article, what can I say?

Xia Yu put on an innocent expression, spread her hands and said, The mouth is on someone else's body!

None of the reporters, including Hattori Ken and Igarashi Okora, expected Xia Yu to be so calm.

Yes.

He was so miserable that he didn't have any anger at all.

Very strange.

The reporters looked at each other in disbelief. They came with great interest, but they encountered such a soft nail. With Xia Yu's youthful spirit, in the minds of reporters, as long as he uses words to tease her, the male high school student will probably scold her in the street, and reporters will have a topic to write about. After tonight, those food portals will most likely Just put some exciting news headlines.

Then I would like to ask Manager Xia, was the closure of the restaurant today affected by public opinion?

A young female reporter squeezed forward.

Influence?

Xia Yu glanced at her strangely and replied, I have my own reasons for closing the store. It's not affected.

correct!

Before opening his mouth to chase people away, Xia Yu said: Early this morning, the VIP reservation section of Xia's store's official website was launched. In the first phase, we will release reservation seats for the next month.

After all, squeeze out of the crowd.

…

late at night.

The office area of ​​Food Review.

There were a lot of editors staying behind to work overtime tonight, including editor-in-chief Kenichiro Shiraishi, who stayed behind to review the manuscript for the second time.

Xia's Restaurant is still the focus of reviews. There is no way to help it. This restaurant has become so popular recently. Catching up with the popularity of Totsuki and Orlando exchange conferences, the focus of people such as Mas and Gin Dojima has naturally attracted the attention of the public and the scope of discussion. It is no longer limited to the ACG circle.

The light from the computer screen illuminated Kenichiro Shiraishi's slightly gloomy face.

Snapped!

After pressing the Enter key, Kenichiro Shiraishi glanced at the latest review articles on the page, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

He picked up the coffee cup on the table unhurriedly and took a sip of the hot coffee just delivered by his assistant. Kenichiro Shiraishi felt refreshed and put down the cup and said to himself: Gin Dojima, Masato Kanbara, let's see what happens to you this time. save him!

Public opinion has been stirred up. When people have a deep-rooted bad impression of a restaurant, no matter how they clean it up in the future, they will have little effect. This is the power of media!

Hey!

There was a hint of mockery in Kenichiro Shiraishi's eyes.

So what about the IGO organization? He did not wantonly slander the chef himself, but reviewed the restaurant from the perspective of a gourmet. Therefore, even if he repeatedly clashed with the Totsuki Group, Dojima Gin could not do anything to him.

What's more, there may not be a backer behind Food Review.
