Reborn in Japan as a Chef God-Chapter 40 - The Harvest of One Night

Later, Little Chef’s solution was to combine the blanching and de-earthy processes by adding a blended chicken oil to the boiling water before putting the Qingjiang Vegetable in.

This left a layer of oil on the surface of the vegetables, washing off the earthy taste and returning the vegetable to its original crisp flavor.

Later, the drained Qingjiang Vegetable was tossed into a frying pan and stir-fried with chicken oil to further remove any earthy taste.

The recipe stopped there.

However, before serving, this vegetarian dish still required seasoning, which was up to the chef’s personal touch.

For instance, adding oyster sauce to the Stir-Fried Qingjiang Vegetable could give it a Cantonese cuisine flavor.

Xia Yu was eager to try it.

“Stir-Fried Qingjiang Vegetable” could be adapted into many variations based on the customer’s taste.

After fully mastering this recipe, he essentially had an ace up his sleeve that was comfortable to have!

Just returning to the store, Mu Xiaoyue, who had worked hard all night, immediately shouted: “Where’s my reward?

Without a reward, I’m going on strike tomorrow!”

“Wait a bit, you will definitely be satisfied with tonight’s dish.”

Xia Yu went into the kitchen, actually connecting with the Chef God Space.

There were still several hours of available usage time left, which translated to a few days since Chef God Space provided unlimited ingredients.

This time, Xia Yu was confident of seeing results within one day.

Recalling the struggles of studying “Magic Mapo Tofu” day and night before, Xia Yu couldn’t help but tear up.

Damn it, why wasn’t there any Fame Points at that time?

If there were sufficient Fame Points, one day in the real world would equal over twenty days in the Chef God Space.

Even if he was slow or talentless in cooking, he could still master a blue recipe.

…

The next day.

Xia Yu was woken up by Mu Xiaoyue’s spirited shout.

He could only rub his messy hair and open the door for her.

“It’s only eight o’clock.

Aren’t you guys going to tour Tokyo today?” Xia Yu said speechlessly.

“Not going!”

Mu Xiaoyue confidently flicked her hand, staring at him brightly, “I want to eat the third luminous dish you cooked before returning to China!”

“Wasn’t last night’s oyster sauce stir-fried Qingjiang Vegetable enough?”

“Human desires are endless!”

“Appetite too!” Mu Xiaoyue hummed.

Xia Yu didn’t argue with her, just pointed to the store, which had not been cleaned since the night’s operation, “Well then, if you want to eat, work hard for me.

Clean the tables and chairs until they are spotless.

The outside of the store needs to be cleaned, too.”

“No problem!” Mu Xiaoyue pulled An Ya to work with her.

Back in the upstairs bathroom, washing up in front of the mirror, Xia Yu asked in his heart, “System, do you have last night’s operational data?”

“Your restaurant received 33 guests between 6 p.m.

and midnight yesterday, with an average consumption of 7,000 yen per person, totaling sales of 231,000 yen for the day.”

Gulp.

Spitting out the foam in his mouth, Xia Yu showed a satisfied expression.

Earning 200,000 yen in one night immediately compensated for the cost he spent on the IGO ingredient street.

The Chef God System was undoubtedly a caring little secretary.

Xia Yu asked more questions while washing up.

“Why did the small store’s popularity suddenly skyrocket?”

“Host, please check the Fame Gains from the past two days,” the system teased but did not directly respond.

Hmm?

Casually calling up his personal panel, and moving his sight to the “Fame Points” section, Xia Yu was stunned.

In the mirror, his mouth gaped open.

“Fame: 2330 (This is related to the host’s notoriety, exposure, achievements, and can be used to purchase items in the system’s store.)”

What happened?!

Xia Yu checked the system logs in shock.

“The restaurant was advertised on public online platforms such as forums and Weibo, and more people learned about your small restaurant and you, Fame Points +10.”

Xia Yu had received 21 such system messages after Mu Xiaoyue wrote a foodie travel journal.

Those 210 Fame Points sustained the Fame consumption in the Chef God Space over the past two days.

Now, scrolling to the bottom of the system message panel, Xia Yu couldn’t even count how many such records there were.

Moreover, in the brief moment he was lost in thought, ding, a new system log appeared in ghostly green text floating across his retina.

Fame Points continued to increase by 10!

2340 Fame Points!

“Still increasing?”

Quickly spitting out the toothpaste foam, rinsing, and wiping his face, Xia Yu dashed back to his bedroom and turned on his computer.

Mu Xiaoyue’s food Weibo was still the same.

Her food travelogue, posted a couple of days ago, didn’t show explosively growing stats of shares and replies.

Thus, Xia Yu was puzzled.

Where did these Fame Points come from?

Xia Yu had yet to realize that his small restaurant entertained two real-life anime characters last night.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Since the store didn’t operate during daytime, and the cleaning chores were covered by two young ladies, Xia Yu was very relaxed and had plenty of time to look for answers online.

Soon, he found the source.

One was the famous singer ‘Tianfeng’ from Niconico video site.

This guy’s Twitter, apart from the initial derogatory comment, was full of subsequent tweets praising massively.

Reading through them, Xia Yu’s face flushed, was it really that exaggerated?

“…

It’s pouring in Tokyo, at this time…

plus having a Chinese girl as a girlfriend…

no way, wasn’t it that Shibuya Style guy?”

Xia Yu suddenly remembered the couple diners he served the night before; his mouth twitched.

“I see now, this is why artists dress so flamboyantly?” Xia Yu couldn’t quite accept that kind of host-like style.

“Did they also come last night?”

Seeing the new tweet showcasing food pictures and taste notes, Xia Yu smiled, “Looks like I’ll have to treat this couple to a free meal next time.”

Just as he was about to close Twitter, he accidentally caught sight of a reply:

“Tianfeng, are you good friends with Taki-kun and Teacher Bai Muying?”

Another fan replied below: “Of course, they must be close friends.

The three of them promoted such a Chinese Restaurant in the ACG field consecutively over two days.

I’m planning to visit after work to see if it’s really that surprising.”

Who is Taki-kun?

Wait, Teacher Bai Muying…

That sounds familiar!

Xia Yu rubbed his brows, realizing things were getting beyond his control.

Besides Shuigu Jun, two other ACG community celebrities had visited his small store?!
