As usual, if the late night restaurant is not open, there will be people waiting in advance.
For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha is like this.
But there is no one today.
To be honest, this is quite strange. Under normal circumstances, it can only be described as coincidence.
Lin An looked at the sky: "I hope so."
Since there were no customers when the restaurant opened.
Lin An and Thor played cards in the restaurant.
But there were only two of them.
So he also called Pochita.
Pochita:?
Fortunately, Pochita is smart.
Even if he can't play cards, he can play cards.
That's enough, one person, one dragon, and one demon, just play like this.
Wait until the restaurant opens for an hour.
Several teams of ordinary guests came.
There is nothing to say about ordinary guests, and they are received normally.
Lin An treated them the same way he treated other people, just like normal, chatting normally, and then accepting compliments for the food.
After seeing off the guests, Thor washed the dishes directly.
Then he was idle again.
But Lin An was not in a hurry at all.
This kind of life and business level was just what Lin An liked.
Sitting by the window, Lin An looked out the window.
"Hua La La~~~"
It suddenly started raining outside, catching people off guard.
"It's raining!?" Thor jumped out and looked at the sky outside.
"Yes." Lin An yawned after saying that.
The rain made him a little sleepy.
Especially the white noise of the rain hitting the wood, it was simply a hypnotic sound effect.
Pochita came to Lin An.
Then she jumped onto the chair, leaned against him, and watched and listened to the rain together.
Thor also sat down to the side, took out his phone to take pictures, and started playing.
Lin An looked at the restaurant, the weather, and the atmosphere.
"It's a rare moment~"
At this time.
There was a clacking sound in the distance.
It was obvious that someone was running.
Lin An, Thor, and Pochita looked up.
A woman was jogging in the rain towards the late-night restaurant.
The woman had a good figure, black hair and red eyes, and a dull and cold expression.
"This is…"
Lin An suddenly remembered who it was, but he couldn't tell for sure, and only remembered half of it.
"Hiss, who is this?"
Lin An's proportions were unreliable.
Thor saw a potential guest in the rain.
So he quickly took an umbrella and waited at the door for the guest to arrive before handing it to him.
Lin An:…
He almost laughed out loud on the spot.
The guest was also stunned for a moment, then said thank you, but left it at the door after taking it.
You can see it.
Thor is reliable, but not very reliable.
But she turned around and took another towel, this time it was right.
LinAn stood up and walked over.
At this time, she was looking at the environment inside the store. Seeing the decoration and layout of the restaurant, the woman turned her head and looked at Lin An and asked.
"This kind of real material and modern reality will probably cost more than building this house."
Lin An thought about it and nodded to confirm: "Yes."
In fact, he just calculated it himself.
In fact, it was given by the system. There were three styles to choose from at that time.
They were retro, modern, and future.
It was just a difference in decoration and materials, and there was no other ability.
So Lin An chose retro for materials and modern for style design.
"Very good, very tasteful." The woman nodded and highly praised the decoration of the small store.
Then she found a place to sit down, took Thor's menu, and began to look at the dishes.
While looking, she wiped the wet rain from her hair with a towel.
Lin An stood aside, watching the serious woman, and indeed could not remember.
He looked at the system tasks.
[Highly praised: Important guest (1/3)]
"1/3?"
Lin An looked at Pochita beside him.
If Pochita does not count, then this person is the one in front of him.
Looking at her, Lin An suddenly had an idea.
"Is this guest also someone who likes cooking?"
After hearing this, the woman looked over and nodded.
She also said very straightforwardly: "I am the chef of a restaurant in Tokyo. A friend recommended me to taste it. Don't worry, I am not a food warrior, I just taste it."
Now Lin An was sure.
After all, she was reduced to someone who can cook, a chef, and looks like this.
He immediately remembered who it was.
Touka Kotori.
That is the sister of Rikka Takanashi, a Chuunibyou!
"I see, no wonder."
Looking at Lin An, he suddenly realized.
Touka Takanashi was a little curious: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lin An shook his head: "You can order all the dishes."
"Yeah."
Touka Takanashi nodded a little expressionlessly.
Then she said: "Then let's have a bowl of chazuke."
As we all know, the simpler the food, the more it tests the chef's mastery level.
And chazuke is a simple food with a light taste.
It is difficult to make it delicious.
But Lin An nodded and confirmed: "No problem."
After confirming the dishes, he went to the kitchen.
Thor rushed over and asked curiously.
"Lin An-san, is this competition among peers?"
"Not really. It depends on attitude. Chefs also need to communicate and learn from each other." Lin An answered while preparing ingredients.
"Oh~" Thor understood.
In the kitchen.
Lin An is cooking seriously.
Chazuke is mainly rice, with very few other ingredients.
A little seaweed, a little cooked sesame, a little green onion, a little soy sauce, a little salt, an appropriate amount of oolong tea, etc.
According to the temperature, market, and proportion.
Finally, a simple finished product is presented.
But with the blessing of Lin An's ability, simplicity also contains flowing light, which looks like the kind of feeling that anorexia will have a big appetite.
"Serve the food, Thor!"
"Wow~" It was the first time for Thor to see Lin An make this kind of food.
She brought it up with curiosity and placed it in front of Touka Takanashi.
Then she stepped back and looked at it with curiosity.
Lin An walked out of the kitchen and put his elbow on Thor's shoulder to watch together.
In the restaurant.
Touka Takanashi sat alone.
She looked at the rice chazuke in front of her. The quiet environment allowed her to savor it with all her heart.
Just the appearance and fragrance alone.
made Touka Kotori open her eyes slightly.
"Is this rice chazuke?"
With doubt and expectation, Touka Kotori picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Picked up the first bite and put it in her mouth.
Boom~!
It was as if spring thunder roared in her brain.
The first bite of Touka Kotori immersed her in a storm of consciousness!
After looking at it, Lin An nodded.
"Take it."
