Chapter 43

After An Yilun’s article was published, it immediately aroused hot discussions.

Some people were curious, and some people questioned.

The famous poster of NicoNico just recommended this Chinese restaurant yesterday. Today, the famous blogger, Taki, in ACG circle came out. From the perspective of conspiracy theorists, this caused a lot of speculation.

Taki’s fans were concentrated in the field of animation and games. There were some literary fans, but the proportion was not high.

For the voice of doubters, An Yilun also made a detailed response.

His blog did not involve any business interests, and he had not received a dime of advertisement funds.

So, An Yilun also replied with confidence.

At the end of this food blog, he wrote: “Thanks for the hospitality of the restaurant. I think I will go there again in the near future. However, I also need to save money. After all, if I go alone, three dishes will cost nearly 10,000 yen. I have to work a few days to have a good meal (laugh).”

After posting and replying, An Yilun stretched.

It was strange that after drinking a few cups of green tea in that restaurant, even in the middle of the night, he was not sleepy at all. He was full of energy, as if he had slept happily all day.

“Ying Lili, thank you for your picture.” He took his cell phone and sent a message.

“No problem. I’ve seen your blog.”

The other replied: “Seeing your blog, I suddenly want to tweet. I’ll just use the account of ‘Eri Kashiwagi’.”

Tokyo, the residence of the British diplomat.

The bedroom light was on, and Ying Lili sat in front of the computer, contemplating.

Compared with Togetsu’s high-grade restaurants, the Chinese cuisine in that restaurant was warmer.

Home cooked dishes, as far as appearance and delicate dishes were concerned, were definitely inferior to the high-grade western restaurants. Ying Lili had eaten many famous dishes, but the dishes of Xia’s restaurant still had the qualification to receive her praise.

She was not like Rina, who talked about common people’s food all day long. Whether it was Japanese food, French, western food or Chinese food, it was good to eat. At least in Ying Lili’s opinion, the Chinese food in that restaurant deserved the ‘authentic and delicious’ evaluation.

If you said that An Yilun was just a layman, and he only knew a little about food, then Ying Lili was equivalent to half a gourmet. When evaluating, she carefully compared them.

The cuisine in that restaurant was not worse than any of the superior restaurants she had been to.

That was to say, the chef of the small restaurant had a cooking skill that was comparable to the chef of high-end restaurants.

The only thing that was inferior was environment and service.

Turning on the desk lamp, Ying Lili sat in front of the computer with her hands on the keyboard.

At home, Ying Lili wore a home-style dressing. After letting down the ponytail and removing the hair ornaments, her long blonde hair was scattered. She was wearing a sweatshirt with a junior high school logo, green pants, green long-sleeved clothes, and black framed glasses for work.

As a half gourmet, Ying Lili had a ‘professional’ consciousness.

She was thinking about which angle she should start with to write a food evaluation article that gave an unconscious professional feeling.

Thinking for a long time, the white fingers of Ying Lili began to jump on the keyboard.

“Life Menu: starter, soup, fish, meat, main dish, salad, dessert, drink.”

“A qualified IGO certified chef should arrange his own set of their own Life Menu!”

“But it’s a pity that what I went to tonight is a Chinese restaurant, not a western restaurant. They didn’t have the front dish. I sat from noon to evening. Now that I think about it, it’s amazing that I was so patient!”

“So, what attracted me to sit for so long?”

“Tea!”

Suddenly, her fingers stopped, and she savored the green tea carefully. Between her lips and teeth, it seemed that there was a faint fragrance of tea.

“That’s the exquisite fried tea I can’t drink in Togetsu’s resort.” Ying Lili took a deep breath. “I can say for sure that either the quality of tea is amazing, or the skill of tea maker is amazing. All in all, those cups of tea had the value of making me sit there for an afternoon. If I can, I would like to take my laptop with me. I will sit in the shop during the day without ordering. I will drink tea and work at the same time. That would be a happy life…”

The tweet of Ying Lili praised tea and water at the same time. Instead, the description of the main dish was like gold.

After the tweet of ‘Eri Kashiwagi’, it once again aroused heated discussion in ACG circles.

From NicoNico’s famous singer, to game and animation talent Taki, now was the famous 18-forbidden female painter.

Things came in threes.

It could be said that the fans of these three people, from music to comics, almost covered the whole field of ACG. After tonight, otaku people would know that there was such a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo.

Di, di.

Shortly after the tweet was sent, Ying Lili received a questioning message.

“What are you doing, golden retriever!”

“I was moved by the food in that restaurant, so I sent a tweet to write about my feelings. Do you have to care about this?”

“Delete it immediately!” The words of Rina were cold and fierce.

“Delete? No!” Ying Lili replied with a smile. “I didn’t plan to go to that restaurant last night, but ah, Rina, your response was so strange that it aroused my curiosity. How can a common person’s restaurant let the Tongue of God remember and hate it? After I went today, I think I have the answer.”

“Is the chef of this restaurant a student of Togetsu? Let me guess, he has a feud with you in Togetsu? One of the Top Ten?”

For a long time, there was no reply.

“I’ve decided!”

“I will be a loyal guest of that restaurant in the future. I will go there at least twice a week,” she said with a smile.

Rina seemed to have dropped the mobile phone, and there was no sound from her.

…

Xia’s Chinese food restaurant, which was in full bloom in the ACG circles, had attracted the attention of a large group of otakus, which was beyond Xia Yu’s expectation.

After seeing off the guests and sending Maki Morita home, and Xia Yu returned to the restaurant.

System: “The restaurant has received more than 30 people, and the satisfaction is 100%. The task of [First Exposure] has been completed.”

“You’ve got the recipe – Fried Spoon Cabbage (Blue).”

“Culinary has been upgraded to LV.10.”

Culinary LV.10?

His footsteps stopped at the store door. Xia Yu was surprised and could not wait to summon the character panel.

Indeed!

At the top of the talent tree, the icon of ‘Chef’s Heart’ was shining, which meant that he could assign talent points to this high-level talent!

All the remaining four talent points were added to the Chef’s Heart.

“[Chef’s Heart] (4): The junior heart of kitchen, the host obtains the primary emotion regulation power over the diner.”

He knocked his fingers.

The junior heart of kitchen.

He could hardly resist the impulse in his heart. He wanted to try cooking now. After he had more talents, what height had he reached?

“Host: Xia Yu.

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Physical Quality Synthesis: LV.20 (Strength, Dexterity, Burst, Nerve Reflex, etc.)

Culinary Integration: LV.10 [One-Star Chef]

…”

At the same time as LV.10, the system evaluation rose from ‘Rookie Start’ to ‘One-Star Chef’.

This rating coincided with that of IGO.

At this point, it could be said that Xia Yu had embarked on the road of a professional chef!
