I Open a Restaurant in Honkai

Fu Hua sighed and said, "I don't know why, but out of all the workplaces at St. Freya, only your restaurant, Zhao Bai, doesn't accept my job application."

"It's simple. Employees get to enjoy the staff meals for free, but customers have to pay for their food."

Zhao Bai replied, neither servile nor overbearing.

ps: I'll try to update during meal times... I don't know if this is a gourmet story or a comedy.

Chapter 4: You Still Don't Understand Lolicon

"Is that so?"

Fu Hua was quite carefree, her expression unchanged, as if this were just a beautiful misunderstanding. She wasn't actually after the free staff meals, but genuinely wanted to work there.

"Zhao Bai, you and I are both from Shenzhou, and I know a thing or two about Shenzhou cuisine. Why won't you let me work here?"

"Perhaps it's because your last name isn't Zhao."

"Family inheritance?" Fu Hua pondered, lowering her head. "I see. In this era, there are still such ancient ideas of family inheritance. It's truly baffling."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Zhao Bai said as if he hadn't heard her, then turned back to the kitchen to prepare vegetables. To cater to Fu Hua's Shenzhou palate, he had taken the liberty of replacing the salad dressing with a spicy red sauce.

The effect was excellent.

Fu Hua chewed on the cabbage, the aroma of olive oil neutralizing the bitterness of the vegetables. With the spicy red sauce, the flavor was unforgettable. She devoured the vegetables in a flash, wiped her mouth, and said goodbye to Zhao Bai, making a solemn vow.

"One day, I will make you accept my resume, or my record as the working emperor will be stained."

"I look forward to it."

Zhao Bai knew he would never hire her, but he didn't want to dampen Fu Hua's spirits, so he could only offer encouragement.

Customers came and went, from all over the world, with varying demands for food. Zhao Bai tried making Spanish Seafood Paella, traditional Italian thin-crust pizza, Japanese Sapporo spicy ramen, and Old Yanjing shuan yang rou.

He had to admit, Heavenly Fire Judgment was incredibly useful. No smoke, clean and hygienic, and the heat was fierce.

The wind chimes rang again.

A customer had arrived.

Zhao Bai didn't ask what the customer wanted to eat. Instead, he frowned and looked up. Standing before him was a woman with white hair and blue eyes, Kiana Kaslana, a maiden like moonlight, a member of the legendary Kaslana family.

"Kiana, is something the matter?"

Kiana held her homework, hesitating to speak, her movements tinged with shyness. Zhao Bai was a bit confused.

"Kiana?"

Zhao Bai asked again.

Zhao Bai's voice did have a certain persuasive quality. Kiana calmed herself and looked at him with expectant eyes, clutching her homework tightly.

Oh, I forgot to mention, besides culinary art, Zhao Bai was also proficient in textbook knowledge, a legendary honor student.

People like Kiana would come to him to copy homework.

While copying homework, Kiana would also conveniently snag a free ice cream, the flavor depending on her mood. Her foul temper was just like her menstrual cycle.
