The vegetables and fruits grown, and various animals raised at Gourmet Manor, have already had purchase contracts initially signed through the negotiations of Yukinoshita Haruno and Lin Han.
This is a contract extremely favorable to Hoshino Sora.
Under equivalent pricing conditions, Party A (Hoshino Sora) must prioritize supplying special ingredients to Party B (Oriental Academy), with no monthly supply quantity requirement.
There were many specific clauses, but Yukinoshita Haruno did not elaborate, merely telling Hoshino Sora that he only needed to deliver a batch of ingredients to her each month.
The quantity didn't matter; as long as there were ingredients, she would sell them for money, and anything related to ingredients could also be entrusted to her; she would be responsible for all work in this area.
Hoshino Sora did not refuse this; Yukinoshita Haruno needed her own career, and he needed someone who could help him solve problems and share his worries.
Entrusting her with the task of handling the Gourmet Manor's products was the best choice at this stage.
Besides this, Hoshino Sora also granted Yukinoshita Haruno significant authority.
That was to allow her to freely contact the production manager within the Gourmet Manor, and from now on, she could directly obtain special ingredients from the production manager, without needing to go through him, layer by layer.
This greatly saved time; the drawback was that it was easy for someone to take kickbacks, but since Yukinoshita Haruno was his wife, what if she took kickbacks? He was willing to let her, no matter how much.
Of course, precisely because she was Hoshino Sora's wife, Yukinoshita Haruno would not do anything that would harm his interests; although she knew he didn't care about it, a wife should think for her husband after all~
It was precisely because the two trusted each other and were honest with each other that this matter could proceed so quickly; in a typical company, many large and small meetings would probably be held, and it wouldn't be settled in less than ten days or half a month!
"Ding-a-ling."
As the 'Resting' sign at the entrance changed to 'Open for Business,' the restaurant's door was soon pushed open by a customer, and a server immediately stepped forward to greet them, followed by the second, then the third...
In less than an hour, the first-floor hall of the Dimensional Restaurant was already full, and there were also many customers on the second and third floors; although not as terrifying as yesterday, it was still very lively.
The aroma of food permeated the air in the restaurant, making mouths water, and servers bustled back and forth, while a metal bucket filled with Zongzi appeared at the entrance.
Next to it stood two beautiful Interracial Girl, smiling at the customers at the door.
"What kind of delicacy is this?"
An hour later, some of the first batches of customers who had arrived were preparing to leave, but they were stopped at the entrance, and their faces immediately showed surprise as they looked at the bucket full of Zongzi in front of them.
"These are Zongzi, a new delicacy our restaurant has launched. The master wants us to give one to every customer as a complimentary gift. Please be sure to taste it when you take it home."
The female server said respectfully; hearing her words, the departing customer took the Zongzi she offered, immediately wanting to taste it to see how the Zongzi that the manager highly recommended tasted.
But he was too full right now; there was no choice but to put it in his pocket.
"Thank the boss for me."
Although putting a freshly cooked Zongzi into one's pocket was dirty, compared to extreme deliciousness, getting one's pocket dirty seemed somewhat insignificant.
Moreover, the Zongzi was wrapped in Zongzi leaves, so the contents inside should not get dirty from the clothes.
Such scenes occurred frequently; every departing customer received a Zongzi. Some chose to eat it on the spot, while others chose to take it home for their families to taste.
And among those who chose to eat them on the spot, the crowd in the first-floor hall discovered that the Zongzi fillings were actually different! What you got and whether it tasted good was entirely up to luck!?
This instantly caused an uproar.
"This sweet one is really mediocre. It's a good thing the boss's skill is good, otherwise, I estimate it would be very hard to eat, simply inedible. Now, it's barely acceptable."
Someone got a sweet Zongzi, took a bite, and immediately cursed. It was a good thing the maker's craftsmanship was good, otherwise, he really couldn't eat this sweet Zongzi.
"You're a wild boar who can't appreciate fine bran! The sweet one is the best! How can you eat something so salty?"
Hearing his words, the person next to him immediately cursed, how could one not feel angry when their perfect sweet Zongzi was slandered as inedible!
"What do you mean, 'how can you eat something so salty?' Don't you feel greasy with glutinous rice and sugar mixed together?"
"Not at all! Glutinous rice and sugar are a perfect match! Honey-date Zongzi are the most delicious! How could there be such a genius idea, making honey dates and glutinous rice into such a delicacy!"
"Speaking of genius ideas, who came up with this squid tentacles with peanut butter?! Isn't it a bit too much Dark Cuisine?!"
Frowning slightly, he looked at the peanut butter squid tentacles in front of him, closed his eyes, and carefully savored the taste in his mouth. That feeling was particularly subtle, as if countless unknown things were sweeping over his body.
"Ugh~!"
He opened his eyes with a shudder, looking at the bright and clear world in front of him. The customer exhaled a long breath, then took another bite. The subtle feeling came again, the feeling of indescribable things intertwining around his body, as if a new world had opened!
It should have been extremely unpalatable!
"Holy crap, you're awesome."
Looking at his neighbor who was eating the peanut butter squid tentacles Zongzi, another customer said with a dark face. How could specially roasted squid paired with sticky peanut butter, combined with glutinous rice, possibly be delicious!
"Can I buy one?"
At the restaurant entrance, diners who had finished their meal gathered together, looking at the Zongzi in front of them and expressing their desire for another one, but were told that today was only for complimentary gifts, and purchases would be available in two days.
"Sure enough, there's a sweet-salty debate everywhere."
Coming from the kitchen to the second-floor corridor, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but sigh as he watched the argument below. Even though the Dimensional Restaurant connected to myriad worlds, the sweet-salty debate was a continuous topic.
"I made a few spicy Zongzi, spicy kimchi wrapped with beef cubes. Can I take them down for them to taste~"
Mito Ikumi walked to Hoshino Sora with a basin of cooked Zongzi. This was her work after being busy for a long time; one could see excitement and anticipation in her eyes if observed carefully.
"Mine is sour radish and aged duck meat. I don't know if the taste will be strange. It tastes good when eaten directly, so it shouldn't be too bad when wrapped in Zongzi."
Yumeko Jabami stood beside Mito Ikumi, her face also filled with excitement and a flush, her eyes full of anticipation, and her red tongue slightly flickered over her lips, looking somewhat enchanting.
"Don't treat our esteemed guests as guinea pigs!"
Looking at the two so excited, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but rub his forehead and sigh. These two really didn't treat the customers as customers. Judging by Yumeko Jabami's tone, she probably hadn't even tasted the newly launched Zongzi herself.
"I wonder who wrapped peanut butter squid tentacles in Zongzi. How dare they criticize us."
"Exactly, exactly! No matter what, we won't make anything worse than peanut butter squid tentacles. Compared to that, customers will definitely prefer the Zongzi we wrapped."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Yumeko Jabami unhesitatingly exposed his flaw. She didn't want to be criticized by someone who wrapped peanut butter squid tentacles in Zongzi.
