Chapter 8 Menu Design and Eat Bonito Chazuke

Early morning, 00:12:31 am.

"Thank you for your hospitality, lady boss!"

"..."

"..."

"Welcome next time."

Seeing the last guest push out the door, Yukinoshita let out a long breath.

Despite many attempts, the title "Lady Boss" could not be corrected, so she put a label of "I am not Mrs. Boss" on her apron, which naturally backfired.

But no matter what, it was finally over.

"Business is surprisingly good." Luo Zhen counted today's turnover and concluded.

"After all, the opening hours are earlier." Yukinoshita responded while wiping away her sweat.

No, the reason is more than this.

Luo Zhen looked at Yukinoshita's profile, and he knew that the girl in front of him must have also played a role in attracting business.

There is an idiom called "beautiful food", watching a beautiful girl eat, but it is very easy to eat.

Luo Zhen chuckled, without saying it explicitly, but continued with the topic just now: "But, if the opening hours are earlier, what should the patrons who come late at night do?"

Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment and looked at Luo Zhen.

Even if this boy calls himself a "businessman", he is a very nostalgic person, there is no doubt about that.

Really awkward.

"Then we can only continue to recruit people." Yukinoshita said, "Set the goal to be all night... No, set it to be open 24 hours a day."

"Huh, the cost has increased again." Luo Zhen sighed.

"'Again'?" Yukinoshita raised her nose and hummed softly, "I don't ask for wages."

I'm sorry, miss!

I'm using the wrong word!

Luo Zhen stretched, picked up the rag, and started cleaning today.

But Yukinoshita stopped him: "I'll wash the dishes and clean the stove. You go outside and remove the curtains and lanterns."

Door curtains and lanterns are signs that the izakaya is open for business.

In the past neon, many izakayas would hang a red lantern instead of a signboard, so until now, some people will call izakaya "red lanterns"; the same is true for door curtains. Because of the writing "warm curtain", izakaya also has "rope warm curtain" "another name.

"Ah, I almost forgot! I'm not used to closing too early." Luo Zhen clapped his hands, "Speaking of which, it's even earlier than yesterday."

"Come on," Yukinoshita said.

Luo Zhen nodded, opened the sliding door and went out, then stood on tiptoe and removed the curtain.

"Hey-"

Curtain get!

"Da, da, da..." The sound of footsteps with heels came from far to near.

Next is to turn off the power and remove the lantern.

"Hey-"

Left lantern get!

"Da, da, da..." The sound of footsteps with heels went from near to far.

Change your posture and do it again.

"Hey-"

Right lantern get!

"Da, da, da..." Footsteps with heeled leather shoes sounded far and near.

I didn't expect this person to come back again, do you want to drink?

"It's closed today." After speaking, Luo Zhen turned around, "I'm really sorry."

In front of him is a girl.

She was wearing the uniform of the high school affiliated to the Faculty of Engineering of Dong Gong University. She was petite and pitiful, with golden double ponytails, blue eyes and white porcelain skin.

On the whole, in addition to the obvious shortcoming of poor breasts, she is a very attractive beauty.

However, there are three places in her that do not match her temperament:

[-]. Conspicuous black-rimmed glasses, Luo Zhen always felt that such a delicate girl should wear contact lenses;

[-]. Sketchbooks and drawing tools exposed in the oversized shoulder bag;

[-]. The dishes in the hand belong to the izakaya called "One or Two".

Luo Zhen was surprised: "A friend of a friend?"

The mysterious girl tentatively asked: "Luo Jun?"

This unique way of addressing...

It looks right!

"You are Kato's friend, right?" Luo Zhen said, "My name is Luo Zhen. It's the first time we meet. Please take care of me."

"You are the 'Luo-kun' in Kato's mouth, right?" The mysterious girl replied modestly, "My name is Sawamura Spencer Eiri, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

She is very polite and seems to be a native of Tokyo, so there is no need to worry about communication barriers.

Luo Zhen took the dishes and said, "Don't rush to bring them back. It's very dangerous for a girl to go out so late."

"Huh?" Eri Ri showed a puzzled expression, "But Kato said that you want to design the menu, and you are in a hurry."

Only then did Luo Zhen remember the unconscious conversation between him and Kato Megumi.

----------

"Luo Jun, I think it would be better to make a little menu."

"why?"

"Izakaya without a menu would be prohibitive. Just like me, I would think this izakaya is quite suspicious until I know how good you are."

----------

It turned out that the drunk was interested.

However, there was still doubt about whether Kato Megumi was drunk or not, and Luo Zhen decided to reserve his opinion.

He opened the door of the izakaya, invited Yingri to enter the room, and asked, "We did talk about the menu, but, Sawamura-san, do you have a solution?"

Ying Lili's expression was a little puzzled: "Don't you know?"

"Know what?" Luo Zhen was puzzled.

"So Kato didn't tell you." Ying Riri frowned slightly, "Then why do you have to pay in advance?"

"Payment?" Luo Zhen was even more confused.

"Husband and wife lung slices!" Ying Lili replied, "That dish is super delicious, at least it is at the level of a Michelin restaurant? However, this is the first time I have received this type of payment."

Are you being tricked?

been played.

Megumi Kato is amazing, he will definitely be a big man in the future!

Luo Zhen showed a smile: "Anyway, let's go inside, it's cold outside."

Neon is located in the northern hemisphere, and the spring is warm and cold. In addition, Tokyo is near Tokyo Bay, and the cold wind blowing in the early morning is quite piercing.

Eiri tightened her clothes and slid into the store.

Then, her gaze swept through the interior decoration of the entire izakaya, and finally stopped on Yukinoshita, muttering to herself, "That's true."

"How?" Luo Zhen took over.

Eiri replied casually, "There's really no menu here."

Luo Zhen was keenly aware that she didn't want to say this, but since the other party didn't want to talk, it's better to change the subject.

Just as he was about to speak, Yukinoshita suddenly interjected: "Sawamura-san, good evening."

Eiri nodded and said, "Good morning, Yukinoshita-kun."

"It's still dark now."

"But it's already early morning."

"..."

"..."

Sure enough, the two knew each other.

Ying Lili's father is a resident diplomat in Neon, and his status is special. Of course, his daughter will study in 2-A, which is really normal.

Yukinoshita put down the rag, wiped his hands dry, and said, "Are you the friend Kato-san mentioned?"
