Hojo Yuto looked at Hojo Miyoko, who blamed herself, and patted her hand gently.
It’s just that he couldn’t help but sighed inwardly. It really was because Miyoko was a girl.
Although Hojo Yuto didn’t say anything, but Hojo Miyoko looked at his expression and already guessed what Hojo Yuto was thinking.
It’s just that she was powerless to refute Hojo Yuto’s thoughts.
When I went to school these few days, I even saw the advertising signs of the top three Chinese cooking competitions standing at the entrance of Chinatown.
Hojo Miyoko felt that it was a deep mockery of herself.
However, the torture is not over yet.
On the eve of the end of the spring semester of Togetsu Academy, the Hojo Building ushered in an even greater crisis!indivual.
[56] Whispers of the Devil!The fear of Miyoko Hojo! (Please subscribe!)
“Acquisition of Beijo Building?”
When she heard the black-clothed man in front of her say these words to her, Hojo Miyoko almost thought she had heard it wrong.
“The Hojo Building is the hard work handed down by our Hojo family from generation to generation, and we will not sell it!”
Miyoko Hojo said in a stern tone.
“Really? But the business situation of your Beijou Building is not as good as it used to be, isn’t it?”
The man in black said casually.
“Since the end of the Chinatown Chinese Cuisine Competition, your Beitiaolou’s reputation has plummeted, and Yuxianglou and Chunjinglou, two restaurants that have been suppressed by you, have been caught up one after another.”
“Not to mention the Huaxia Building. It is now a veritable first restaurant in Chinatown, and its business is booming every day.”
“A quarter’s earnings are almost catching up with your annual income.”
The man in black looked at Miyoko Hojo with sympathy.
If it wasn’t for knowing that the other party was telling the truth, Miyoko Hojo would have been unable to help herself.
But even so, she couldn’t help clenching her fists.
After all, Hojo Miyoko himself has a considerable responsibility for causing the Hojo Building to decline into such a situation.
“That’s just because my father’s hand was injured. When he recovers, the Hojo Building will soon return to its former prosperity!”
“Really, wake up, Miyoko, even if your father gets better, it won’t make Hojo-lou get back on his feet.”
“Don’t you still know the current situation in Beijolou?”
The man in black looked at Miyoko Hojo with pride and a hint of pity.
And his words made Hojo Miyoko’s hands clench unconsciously.
The other party’s words were right, and even Hojo Miyoko herself clearly recognized this.
In the past few days, many chefs in Hojo Building have proposed to Hojo Yuto, the father of Miyo Hojo’s “[-]” son, to resign. It is said that he can no longer work in Hojo Building.
However, these people who resigned as chefs went to either Yuxiang Building or Chunjing Building under the eyes of Hojo Miyoko and others.
After losing these chefs, Beijolou was even more helpless.
Originally, when Yuto Hojo hired these people, he promised quite sincere remuneration, and these people worked in the Hojo Building during the period.
Beijolou has never treated them badly.
But now, seeing that the situation was not right, they immediately accepted the olive branches thrown by Yuxiang Tower and Chunjing Tower.
When the Hojo Building is the most dangerous and needs help the most, leave the Hojo Building!
Even Miyoko Hojo, who has always been strong, was so angry that she almost cried in the face of such a situation.
But she couldn’t do anything about the current predicament.
After all, she was just a sixteen-year-old high school student.
Having said that, as long as he thinks of Mito Yumei, Hojo Miyoko’s heart can’t help but doubt life.
They are also only sixteen years old, how can there be such a big gap between people?
At the end of this semester, Miyoko Hojo was once again invited by Teruki Kuga to the Chinese Cuisine Research Association.
As expected, Jiuga Teruki really came to discuss with Hojo Miyoko about Yuxianglou’s desire to acquire the Hojo building.
“Look, anyway, the people in the Beijou building have almost run away. If this goes on like this, only you and your father can serve as chefs.”
“You may not be able to find new suitable personnel for a while, right?”
“And you still have to take care of your studies. You can’t really choose to drop out of Totsuki Academy for this, isn’t it a pity?”
“In my opinion, you should go back and discuss with your father, and the Beijou Building…”
Hojo Miyoko’s face was cold, and after listening to me for a long time, I couldn’t bear it anymore.
‘shut up!”
“I repeat, the Hojo Building is the hard work of our Hojo family for generations. In any case, neither my father nor I will sell it!”
“You despicable fellows, give up on me as soon as possible!”
After finishing speaking, Hojo Miyoko folded the broom in the corner into two sections, and left the Chinese Cuisine Research Association angrily.
For a long time, Teruki and Bai Chuanhang stared at the broom that was broken in two, looking at each other.
“The brute force of this woman is too terrifying…”
“Even if it’s the meaty guy, it’s not necessarily comparable to this woman’s strength, right?”
“Hey… I feel like she could screw my head off if she tried really hard…”
Just as Teruki Kuga and Hang Shirakawa were complaining, Miyoko Hojo, who had left the Chinese Cuisine Research Association, was walking in the building, preparing to leave the club building.
However, when passing by an activity room, the name of the club above attracted Miyoko Hojo.
“Dark Cuisine Research Society…”
Miyoko Hojo frowned and slowly read the words above.
Immediately, she thought of something and suddenly opened her eyes.
“Dark cooking research club, isn’t it the dark cooking research club that has been circulating in the first grade some time ago, that can make people stronger quickly?!”
Get stronger, power.
These two words deeply attracted Miyoko Hojo.
If it was in the past, she would never have been interested in this mysterious organization that could not see the essence.
But now, after experiencing the failure of the Chinese cooking competition, Hojo Miyoko has long lost her previous spirit.
What’s more, the Beijou Building now needs real strength to support it in order to be able to survive!
Thinking of this, Hojo Miyoko finally raised her hand and knocked on the door of the Dark Cuisine Research Association.
“Who are you looking for?”
I saw a girl stick her head out.
Long black hair, pale skin, and red pupils.
Create a strange atmosphere.
“Sadazuka-san.”
Miyoko Hojo recognized the other at once.
“I… want to come and ask the leader of your society about joining the Dark Cuisine Research Society.”
Hearing Miyoko Hojo say that, Nao Sadazuka’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“You want to join our club. Lord Mo Yu is here. Come in!”
Lord Mo Yu?
Miyoko Hojo was taken aback.
She followed Nao Sadazuka into the Dark Cuisine Research Club.
The Dark Cuisine Research Society, which has been upgraded to a two-star society, has undergone a one-month renovation, although the interior cannot be said to be completely new.
But there have also been considerable changes.
The new cooking equipment was placed within easy reach beside the stove, and several members of the Dark Cooking Research Society were making dishes.
Accompanied by the sound of whoo-la, a smell of grease wafted out of the nostrils.
“The aroma… feels much more fragrant than those stir-fries I’ve asked before.”
Miyoko Hojo also didn’t know what caused the butter aroma in her nose to be much stronger than before.
“Lord Mo Yu, Hojo classmate is here.”
At this time, Nao Sadazuka had already walked to the side, bent down and spoke to one person respectfully.
Miyoko Hojo turned her head subconsciously.
However, when she saw Mito Yumei standing beside Mo Yu, her eyes widened.
“Ikumei Mito?! You’re here too!?”
The boy sitting on the chair behind the desk looked like a god, making it impossible to ignore his existence.
And Mito Yumei, who was standing beside him, shocked Miyoko Hojo even more!
To this day, she still looks to Mito Yumei on the arena that day, using a Chinese dish she had seen before, and she easily defeated them all.
At the same time, she was quite suspicious.
People like Mito Ikumei, who made dishes that even the first person in Japanese Chinese cuisine praised.
Why have I never seen her show anything in Chinese cuisine before?
“Could it be… Did you learn Chinese cuisine here too?”
Although these two seem a bit far-fetched, Hojo Miyoko can’t help but make such a guess.
“That’s right, the ice and fire Wuji double-cooked pork that I made that day in the competition came from the instructions of Lord Mo Yu.”
