Two-dimensional: A journey beyond it

“Cat Western Restaurant”, of course, can also be called “Cat House”, which is the name of the shop on the first basement floor of Cat House Apartment, a restaurant that has a certain popularity in the surrounding area, but is not famous in the 11th district.

On the oak door, there are antique brass doorknobs, which are now very rare.

Another feature is that above the door, a cat with its right front foot raised like a lucky cat is drawn.

The first shopkeeper, who absolutely liked cats more than dogs, opened a few decades ago, has now been inherited by a second-generation shopkeeper who prefers dogs, and even so, it can be called an old shop in this shopping street.

Moreover, a certain second-generation shopkeeper has also teamed up with many bosses and shopkeepers around, which has achieved a certain purpose for them to like Wang Xingren.

Although it is a Western restaurant, the menu is very casual.

The menu, which has been increasing since the first generation of owners, is also mixed with many dishes that are clearly not Western food.

“The so-called Western food is the food that came from overseas, right? In other words, as long as it is a dish that did not exist in Japan before, it should be considered Western food, so no matter what the name of the restaurant is, as long as the food is delicious, it is no problem. ”

The above is exactly what the original shopkeeper said.

Therefore, although it is a Western restaurant, there are dishes other than Western food on the menu.

Of course, the dishes that the second-generation owners and the first generation are best at are Western food, and in order to cater to young people with a large amount of food, the store also offers unlimited rice, bread, soup, etc.

By the way, the food here is not expensive, relatively speaking, it is still very cheap, it can be said that it is the insistence of two generations of owners.

This is also thanks to the nearby office workers, who are like battlefields every day at noon on weekdays, and there are office workers returning home from work at night, or poor students who can refill their meals and bread.

Therefore, the business of the restaurant is still prosperous, even if all aspects of expenses are deducted, the money earned is enough for a second-generation uncle to live alone.

Of course, this is also because the current owner does not have much ideals, otherwise it is still very easy to get rich and noble, which can be said to be strikingly similar to the brothers.

Introduced here, I think there is more or less some speculation.

That’s right, the original owner of this cat house apartment is also the kind person who adopted Xia Kong.

And his grandson is the current second-generation shopkeeper, although he is much older than Xia Kong, the two are indeed a pair of brothers who are not related by blood.

Since the death of the first owner, this store has been inherited by the second generation owner, and although he said that he would have to pay for Xia Kong’s living expenses, someone preferred to come here to work and be self-reliant, so he refused.

Perhaps, this is how the two get along.

The restaurant is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and there are no visitors to the business area on weekends, so those two days are public holidays.

There are ten tables in total, so you might ask for guests to join the table when there are a lot of people, but it’s really an ordinary restaurant everywhere, at least it seems.

Of course, how can it be done without a little extraordinary in this not simple world?

The cat house has a special situation that no other shop has, that is, every Saturday, on this public holiday, the Western restaurant will be open for a special day.

Because of the special opening days, we do not serve the guests “here”!

“Good morning! Uncle! ”

“Uh… Good morning. ”

Because it is a space created underground, there are no windows in the store, but you don’t have to worry about the light in the store, because the light will shine as bright as the day.

The space in the restaurant is not large, except for the counter connected to the kitchen, ten tables occupy almost the rest of the space, compared to those large restaurants, this is only a slightly larger restaurant.

However, although the store is small, you can also see the owner’s love for his own restaurant, carefully maintained tables and chairs, as well as clean and tidy floors or decorations, etc., all exude bright luster.

And when Xia Kong brought the blonde girl to the restaurant, he saw a tall but slightly thin middle-aged man wearing a white chef’s uniform and a more casual expression with a beard, who was already busy in the kitchen at this time.

“How many times have you said it, at least… Call me ‘big brother’, right? ”

At a glance, the middle-aged man who knew that he had a more casual personality was also the second-generation owner of this cat house, that is, the grandson of the first owner who had passed away.

Because I have worked as an apprentice or chef in many restaurants, my cooking level is not the top in the world, but it can also be ranked first in the 11th district.

And because when I was young, I practiced at a Chinese restaurant in a shopping street, and I almost volunteered to become a chef who made Chinese food, so I am also very good at Chinese cuisine.

The owner’s surname is Yamakata, and his name is Yamakata Shunichi, but everyone usually calls him “shopkeeper”.

So over time, except for a few good friends, everyone else is used to calling him that directly, and he who is casual and a little lazy doesn’t care much about it, after all, it’s just a title.

“Huh? Girlfriend? ”

“…… Do you have any grievances with me? ”

PS: Cat House, the first and second generation owners, from “Another World Canteen”.

Also, the second generation didn’t know what it was called, so he gave it to him.
