Chapter 798: Freedom to Spend Money is Just Around the Corner
After saying goodbye to the reluctant Momiji and agreeing to visit the Ooka family when they have time, Hanyu Kusunoki accompanied the enthusiastic Xiaolan and Sonoko to the dumpling shop to help.
With the opening of the new store, the girls are very enthusiastic about it and are full of energy.
Even Xiao Ai came over to help with the accounting.
There's nothing we can do, it's just too profitable.
After so many days of overwhelming publicity, whether it is posters on the streets or promotion on various media platforms, the popularity of "Nanyuan" has increased rapidly.
In addition, after the opening yesterday, the good reputation brought by word of mouth from customers, the number of customers today not only did not decrease, but increased, and even the flow of people in the entire Mihua Municipal Hall was boosted.
According to statistics done by Xiao Ai, the two main products in the store have different target audiences.
Chocolate dumplings, a food with strong dessert attributes, are very popular among tourists from Europe and the United States who visit Japan.
The Chinese food proposed by Hanyu Kusunoki is more popular among locals.
Although my hometown is no longer here, Japan has had close ties with the East in history. It was once a place of exile for the East, and people here still have a natural sense of adaptability to Eastern food.
Once you’ve tasted the unique flavors of Chinese food, it’s hard not to fall in love with that rich and wonderful taste.
Inside the Mihua City Hall, a long line had already formed in front of the Nanyuan Creative Dumpling Shop. Although it was only 11 a.m., the waiting area was already filled with eager diners.
"Guest No. 57, please go to table 3!"
Xiaolan's clear voice echoed in the store.
She had her hair tied in a high ponytail today and was wearing a staff uniform designed by an international killer. It was simple yet stylish and she looked full of energy. She was quickly recording the customers' needs on the order board in her hand.
Although the store employs many employees, the enthusiastic girl cannot just watch from the sidelines. She can't help but want to participate and contribute her own strength to the store.
"Yuanzi! Area B needs an additional order!"
"Got it, coming right up!"
Yuanzi poked her head out of the kitchen, her chef hat tilted askew, and it was unclear whether she was making trouble or helping.
But his energetic look is really hilarious.
Mingmei and Mrs. Yoshida shuttled between the front hall and the kitchen, coordinating the needs of various positions at any time. From time to time, the little maid glanced at the cashier, where a reluctant little accountant sat.
Why do I have to do this..." Xiao Ai pouted, her face full of reluctance, her fingers tapping on the calculator, venting her dissatisfaction, "I am a scientist, not a cashier..."
"Ai is so amazing!" Ayumi lay beside the cash register, watching her skillfully operate the cash register in admiration, "It's over so quickly!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta also came over: "Haibara-san, can you help us calculate what we can buy with this money?"
They took out the pocket money they had saved for a long time and looked at the menu eagerly, especially Yuantai, who stared at the pictures of delicious food and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The three little ones had already decided to make the dumpling shop the new base of their Junior Detective Team.
There are not only delicious food here, but also their favorite older brothers and sisters. For them, it is simply a place full of joy and surprises.
Huiyuan sighed and accepted the change resignedly: "Only enough for a small portion of dumplings..."
Seeing the disappointed expressions of the three children, she added, "...but I can ask my sister to add some more ingredients for you."
"Great!" The Young Detectives cheered.
Conan stood aside, watching the scene with dead eyes, and couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, this is considered a backdoor..."
"Stupid Conan!"
Ayumi puffed up her cheeks, "This is called rational use of resources!"
Ai glanced at her number one guinea pig, Conan, and said calmly, "If the great detective minds, you don't have to eat it."
Conan: "..."
Actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s good to have a back door.
There was no way. Ever since he was cheated several times by that guy Hanyu Kusunoki, his pockets were cleaner than his face. He still owed Hattori a large sum of money and had no money to eat out.
Being able to eat and drink for free is considered a good treatment.
In the front hall, several European and American tourists were exclaiming in amazement at the menu.
"This dish is called 'Mapo Tofu'..." A blonde lady read it carefully in Japanese with a thick accent. She took a bite and then opened her eyes wide with a surprised expression on her face. "Oh my God! This spicy feeling is amazing!"
"Sir, your boiled fish." Xiaolan placed a plate of bright red fish fillets in front of a sturdy foreign man, "Please be careful, it's very spicy."
"hot?"
The man smiled disapprovingly, "I'm from Texas!"
He scooped a large spoonful into his mouth, and the next second his face turned red, "Holy... water! Give me water!"
The guests around laughed, and Xiaolan quickly handed over iced oolong tea: "I suggest drinking tea to relieve the spiciness."
At the cash register, Huihara Ai was keeping track of the accounts while quietly observing the lively scene in the store.
Although she kept complaining, she had to admit that the store was indeed successful - it could maintain such high popularity on the second day of opening, which was a miracle in the highly competitive catering industry.
The time when you will have your own pocket money and freedom is just around the corner.
In a corner, Hanyu Kusunoki was chatting with Kosaka Natsumi who came to help. Well, I would say he was just being lazy when I say chatting.
As the honorary manager and mascot of this store.
Since you have already contributed your portrait rights, it is understandable that you may be lazy occasionally.
"Ms. Kosaka, how is the preparation for your pastry shop going?" Hanyu Kusunoki leaned leisurely at the bar, looking at Kosaka Natsumi who was helping to decorate the desserts.
Kosaka Natsumi winked mysteriously: "It will open this weekend, the location will be kept secret for now~"
"Eh? Even we don't know?" Yuanzi came over and asked curiously, "Where is it?"
“You’ll find out over the weekend.”
Natsumi Kosaka smiled sweetly and secretly glanced at Hanyu Kusunoki.
Xiaolan tilted her head and guessed: "Could it be in Ginza? That's where the busiest customers are."
"No~"
Kosaka Natsumi shook her head with a sly smile on her face.
Mingmei passed by with a tray and smiled softly when she heard this: "Ms. Kosaka's shop will definitely have many surprises."
Ai looked up from behind the cash register and added calmly, "And the location must be very special."
The Miyano sisters' pointed words left Kosaka Natsumi stunned.
Why did she feel as if she had been exposed?
