“Where is the boss?”

Between the couple, the young man looked really colorful. His hair was dyed in different colors. He definitely had the Shibuya style.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked around. His eyes were not friendly, and he seemed a little disgusted.

The girlfriend pulled the young man’s sleeve and stared at him. The young man scoffed and took his hands out of his pockets. And he slightly weakened his bad attitude.

Mu Xiaoyue stood up hesitantly and said in English, “Are you looking for a meal?”

Who knew that the young woman would cover her mouth with a surprised on her face when she saw Mu Xiaoyue clearly? “You, are you Sister Yueyue?”

“Yes.”

Mu Xiaoyue also reacted. After hearing Chinese, she subconsciously replied. And her face immediately became strange.

“Great! Let’s take a picture first!” The young woman immediately abandoned her boyfriend. She squeezed next to Mu Xiaoyue and took out her fruit phone. She adjusted the angle and took a few photos one after another. Then she nodded with satisfaction.

“Did you read my food article and look for this place specifically?” Mu Xiaoyue asked curiously.

In the food tour, Mu Xiaoyue put the specific address of Xia’s Chinese restaurant in the content of the article. If one read the article carefully, it could be easily found.

The young girl said yes and asked, “Sister Yueyue, is this Chinese cuisine very authentic and delicious?”

“You will know after you eat. I cannot describe it with words.” Mu Xiaoyue spread her arms.

“Really?”

The woman’s eyes lit up, and she turned to hold the Shibuya-style boyfriend. She found a clean place to sit down.

Mu Xiaoyue glanced over.

This woman was very young and should be an international student. Her boyfriend was obviously Japanese. The two talked in Japanese. The woman pleaded a little and seemed to ask to dine in the Chinese restaurant, while her boyfriend frowned with reluctance.

“Xiao Ya, you look after the shop. I’ll go find that stupid boy.” Mu Xiaoyue threw the job of looking after the shop to her girlfriend and walked into the backyard of Xia’s restaurant.

“Ah Yu?”

Mu Xiaoyue followed the narrow staircase to the second floor. She looked at the clean and tidy room and nodded secretly. She found where the bedrooms were. One bedroom was empty, and the other was closed. Obviously, there was someone inside. She stood outside the door and shouted several times, and a shadow gradually enlarged after pushing the door.

“Sister Yue?”

After opening the door, Xia Yu looked surprised.

He looked like he stayed up late, and his dark eye bags were serious, which made Mu Xiaoyue frown. She had an incomprehensible feeling.

It’s only been three hours or more. In the afternoon, the boy who was still alive and well, had become so sick. Mu Xiaoyue was suspicious in her heart. She glanced past Xia Yu and towards Xia Yu’s bedroom, but she saw nothing unpleasant. 

Her eyes paused at the rubbish bin in the bedroom deliberately. When she saw there were no tissues in the basket, Mu Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze with a guilty conscience. 

“Why did you have a nap until nighttime!” 

As Mu Xiaoyue said that, she took Xia Yu’s arm and dragged him downstairs and explained, “The guest is here. It’s my fan. She read my food travel diary last night and found the shop intentionally. You need to show good hospitality, otherwise you will make me lose my reputation!” 

Xia Yu’s dizzy head gradually became sober as he walked downstairs step by step. 

He suddenly remembered why Mu Xiaoyue was in the store. 

It was about three days ago when it was raining heavily in Tokyo. He asked An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue to help him look after the store so he could practice in the back kitchen… 

That’s not right!

After thinking about it, Xia Yu discovered that the timeline was all messed up. The problem lied in the Chef God Space!

“System, how long did I stay in the Chef God Space?”

“You entered the Chef God Space at 2:33 pm Tokyo time. It is now 5:48 pm Tokyo time today, a total of 3 hours and 15 minutes,” the system answered diligently.

“What?!”

Xia Yu was shocked.

Only 3 hours passed in the real world, but the problem was that he felt that he stayed in the Chef God Space for at least 3 days. He was practicing cooking all day and night, and his whole body was numb.

Xia Yu swallowed his saliva and realized that there was a big problem with the time redemption that he had not understood!

10 fame points could be exchanged for an hour of training time in the Chef God System.

Note that this time referred to the real-world time!

‘Is an hour in reality a day in the Chef God Space?’ Xia Yu suddenly felt terrible about this thought.

Mu Xiaoyue dragged Xia Yu to the storefront.

“Do you want to eat?”

Xia Yu temporarily put away unnecessary distractions and looked at the young couple in front of him.

“…”

The young girl saw such a young boy with a small face and a young age asking her. So, she first looked at Mu Xiaoyue, then opened her mouth slightly. “You, are you the owner of this shop?”

“I am not only the boss, but also the chef.” Xia Yu smiled slightly.

The woman spoke in Japanese, and he naturally answered in Japanese.

“Huh?” The Shibuya young man next to her looked funny. From surprised to questioning, and then he asked with a little humility, “Are you a student of Togetsu?”

“No.” Xia Yu shook his head.

The Shibuya man changed his face, and there was a trace of disgust that could not be concealed in his eyes. He said with no respect, “So, you are not a student of Togetsu. Then how dare you run a restaurant at this age? Who gave you the courage?”

“You should know the appetite of the guests. It is not acceptable with just a few plausible dishes so you can pass the test,” he questioned rudely. 

The girlfriend stared at him; this time, the Shibuya man stared back without showing weakness. 

“Did you say that the Chinese cuisine was made by this kid? It would be better to go to the restaurant opened by the graduates of Togetsu to eat Japanese food. We took the tram in this bad weather to come here. Who knew that the chef was so unreliable. I am really disappointed.” 

His girlfriend could only stand up and bow to apologize in this situation. 

“Sorry, he misunderstands Chinese cuisine, so…” 

Xia Yu waved his hand to show that was not a big deal. 

He also could see that this Shibuya-style young man seemed to look down on Chinese cuisine, and he almost wrote the words ‘I hate Chinese cuisine’ on his annoying face. 

That was the case, Xia Yu substantially wanted to change the understanding of this lost lamb about what was called authentic Chinese cuisine! 

He practiced in the Chef God Space for three days and nights, and now his hands felt heated. 

He didn’t say much and turned back to the kitchen. Xia Yu hung the arranged menu sign on the wall.

An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue came closer, squeezing beside him. 

“Sichuan cuisine is fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu and chili and sour potato.” 

“Cantonese cuisine is sand tea beef, sweet and sour pork with pineapple and braised assorted vegetables with marinated tofu.” 

What. 

Mu Xiaoyue looked disappointed. “Why are there only six dishes today?”

“If you eat three of these dishes on the menu, I will give it to you for free. Is that enough?” Xia Yu laughed, and suddenly asked, “Oh, in the afternoon, did they bring any ingredients here?” 

“Yes, some are in the freezer. Some are outside as there was not enough space. By the way, which market did you order the ingredients from? The person who brought the food was really professional…” Mu Xiaoyue wiped her saliva on her mouth.
