Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

032. The hamburger shop is closed [Update 1]

Bai Mu took the yukata provided by the hotel and walked into the special massage room on the second floor, where two hot masseuses were already waiting.

""Welcome, is this Mr. Shiraki who made the appointment just now? Please follow me in."

One of the masseuses came up to greet him warmly and took Shiraki to a separate room. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a refreshing fragrance.

As expected of the massage service of Totsuki Ligong, this separate massage room is as big as a guest room. Shiraki lay on the soft massage bed, enjoying the feeling of the beautiful masseuse's powerful hands massaging his back.

At this time, the shopping street was just getting light in the morning.

The outside of a store was already crowded with people.

Not only were there diners who had come a long way, but there were also many reporters from food magazines or TV stations.

However, these people had been waiting at the door of the hamburger shop early.

They had been waiting for a long time but did not see the hamburger shop open.

Instead, the surrounding shops were almost open.

Even so, the number of people at the door of the hamburger shop showed no signs of decreasing.

Many guests who came here after seeing yesterday's news were looking for this hamburger shop intentionally, but disappointingly, until 10 o'clock in the morning, this shop did not show any signs of opening.

"Is it closed?"

A customer was already getting anxious.

He had eaten the burgers from this restaurant yesterday.

The explosive taste was unforgettable to him even today.

His wife and children had already issued an ultimatum: he had to buy the burgers today, no matter how long he had to wait in line, or he would not be allowed to enter the house.

The customer himself was also very motivated.

He took a taxi to the shopping street early in the morning, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was a group of diners who stared at the closed store like him.

"It shouldn't be possible. How could a store with such good business close so easily?"

The other customers seemed to realize this, but everyone kept hypnotizing themselves. How could a store that was broadcast live on TV as soon as it opened close the next day? Who would have a problem with money?

However, the owner of this store, Bai Mu, really was such a person who regarded money as dirt. After a large group of people waited outside for two or three hours, someone immediately realized that the hamburger shop was probably really not going to open today.

"How could this happen?"

Screams were heard from the crowd from time to time. His words were recognized by everyone present. Indeed, after eating such food, asking them to eat other burgers was like asking them to eat junk food after giving them delicacies from mountains and seas. It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but it is difficult to go from luxurious to frugal!

The food culture of this world is extremely developed. Similarly, the status of the profession of chef is also very high. Top-quality ingredients are always in short supply. Corresponding to such a highly developed food culture, the class division of food is also very strict. The

A-level food enjoyed by the rich and famous, and the B-level food characterized by mass production and people-friendly, are almost incompatible.

This is why in the original book, fortunately The reason why Taira Soma was laughed at by the students of Totsuki Academy for repeatedly taking out cheap snacks during food battles is that, it is no exaggeration to say that many young masters and young ladies of Totsuki Academy have never seen those snacks for common people in their lives.

Nakiri Alice is a living example.

It is impossible for ordinary people to have access to top-notch cuisine even if they have saved enough money, because access to that level of cuisine requires not only money, but also a very high social status.

Only the rich people at the top of the pyramid are qualified to enjoy the best delicacies. This is the rule of this world.

Young ladies like Erina have eaten countless top-notch cuisines since they were young, and all those cuisines have become... The nourishment of the 'Tongue of God' pushed her cooking skills to a new height.

For ordinary students and white-collar workers who live in the shopping street, ordinary B-level food is already a rare delicacy in their eyes.

This is why the students of Totsuki Academy will never become unknown cooks after graduation.

For example, Ruishan can support the rise of a new hamburger restaurant with just a recipe.

Although his strength as one of the top ten is a factor, the class differentiation of cooking can also be seen here.

But the 'Supreme Black Gold Burger' that Shiraki took out yesterday has broken this class isolation without him knowing it.

He will only be able to make a star-level dish.

The top-notch food that can only be eaten in hotels is sold as hamburgers that can be seen everywhere on the street.

This move directly breaks the principle of the food pyramid, allowing ordinary people who may not have been able to taste this level of food in their lifetime to taste the delicious food that does not belong to them, which caused such a sensation.

(Food pyramid principle: 20% of the rich have 80% of the food resources, and 80% of the ordinary people share the remaining 20% of the food resources.

)

Now, these guests who have eaten top-notch food are no longer satisfied with those B-level dishes that they originally regarded as delicacies.

However, there was another person present who looked at the guests' lost appearance without any tension, and even laughed triumphantly.

"Oh, guests, it seems that the shop opposite cannot open today. Our Big Mac Burger has launched new dishes today. The taste is definitely not inferior to the shop opposite. Do you want to come in and try it?"The female owner of the Big Mac Burger shop smiled and greeted the dejected guests on the street. The smile on her face was so proud that she could no longer hide it. She didn't expect that the kid opposite would withdraw on his own before she made a move. Did Lord Ruishan warn him?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. The smile on the face of the female owner became brighter and brighter, like a wrinkled parchment. She was not so resistant to the 60% consulting fee added by Ruishan.

""Huh?... Then give me a burger from your store."

The customer who was greeted by the female owner touched his stomach, which was already growling with hunger, and had a little expectation in his heart that the burger she said"tastes as good as" the new burger across the street.
