When Takahashi Airi heard that she had to queue with those ordinary people, her brows furrowed slightly, clearly a bit displeased.
"Hey, don't be ungrateful, I'll give you triple the price, that should be enough, right?"
One of the bodyguards behind her said in a deep voice.
"No."
Satou shook his head and said.
As an operator, one must have integrity and not allow others to cut in line just because they offer a higher price, as this would be unfair to other waiting customers.
"You, do you know who you are talking to?"
The bodyguard was furious upon hearing this and had a strong urge to step forward and act.
"Shut up."
Takahashi Airi suddenly gave him a cold look.
The bodyguard was stunned and stammered, "But, that guy actually dared to make the young lady wait outside, it's too disrespectful."
"If you want to keep this job, then shut up."
Takahashi Airi said coldly.
"So... sorry."
The bodyguard no longer dared to speak and immediately lowered his head.
"Mr. Satou, can you really not make our dishes first?"
Takahashi Airi softened her tone and said with a smile.
Although her personality was sometimes overbearing and she was somewhat unkind to her subordinates, as a young lady who grew up in a large corporation, she was not a fool and knew what kind of people she could be overbearing with and what kind of people she could not.
The bodyguards behind her were stunned; it was their first time seeing the willful young lady calmly discussing something with someone else.
If the other party was a world-renowned chef or the chairman of some corporation, it would be fine, but this young man in front of them was just the manager of an inconspicuous small shop.
Especially the bodyguard who spoke earlier, cold sweat even broke out, and he was very worried about whether he would be fired after going back.
"That's right."
Satou nodded with a smile.
"This must be the young chef who made that medicinal cuisine that Miss Takahashi Airi praised so highly, right?"
At this moment, the old man beside Takahashi Airi spoke. He looked at Satou with a smile, clearly full of curiosity about him.
"If you're talking about the Twice Cooked Pork from last time, it was indeed my cooking."
Satou nodded and said.
This old man's name is Yamada Tani, he is the chief chef of the food group where Takahashi is located, and also a master in medicinal cuisine.
Normally, Takahashi Fumio ate his carefully prepared dishes, so after hearing that someone could make such a miraculous medicinal cuisine, besides being shocked, he was also very curious about the young man who made that dish.
Because even he could not make a dish with such an effect.
Now, after seeing Satou with his own eyes, he was very surprised because he was too young, especially Takahashi Airi's attitude towards him.
He knew this young lady's personality very well; she was completely heartless. If a subordinate made a mistake, she would not even give the other party a chance to explain and would directly fire them.
But now she was so tolerant of Satou, which was enough to show Satou's position in her heart.
Could this young man really be that amazing?
"Isn't this Yamada Tani?"
"Yeah, a master chef, why is he here?"
"Could it be that the dishes here have finally attracted the attention of culinary masters?"
The customers in the restaurant had already noticed this group of people, and many of them immediately recognized Yamada Tani.
Most of the customers who came to Satou's shop to eat were somewhat knowledgeable about cooking, and Yamada Tani was very famous in the culinary world as a master chef, so they immediately exclaimed.
Yamada Tani smiled faintly, then glanced at the customers' tables, wanting to see the dishes Satou made.
"May I taste it?"
He bent down and said to a customer.
"Uh, of course."
The customer was stunned, clearly unaccustomed to a culinary master wanting to taste the dish he had eaten, but he still nodded and said, "Of course."
"Thank you, I will pay for your dish."
Yamada Tani smiled, then took out a pair of unused chopsticks from the chopstick holder, picked up a piece of Braised Beef, and put it into his mouth.
"This Braised Beef…"
Yamada Tani's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of shock; both the cooking temperature and the handling of the ingredients were impeccable!
Could such a dish really be made by such a young man?
"How is it? Mr. Yamada?"
Takahashi Airi asked curiously, she would not pick dishes from someone else's eaten bowl.
"Let's wait outside, Miss Takahashi Airi?"
Yamada Tani smiled slightly and did not say it explicitly, but he was even more looking forward to Satou's cooking in his heart.
Although Takahashi Airi was a bit unwilling, she could only do so.
"Oh, and I want three portions of Twice Cooked Pork."
He remembered something and quickly reminded him.
One portion was for Takahashi Fumio, and the other two portions were, of course, for themselves.
"No problem."
Satou nodded.
Afterward, Takahashi Airi and her group went outside to wait.
By the time they had lined up and entered, it was already an hour and a half later, nearing closing time.
Takahashi Airi was shivering a little; it was already late autumn, and standing for an hour and a half in thin clothing at night was an experience she had never had before, which made her a bit angry, but she could do nothing about Satou.
"Can you make our dishes now?"
Yamada Tani said to Satou with a smile.
"Yes. Please wait a moment. We're closing soon."
Satou nodded, preparing to close the business after completing this order.
Then, he went into the kitchen and started making Twice Cooked Pork.
"Please have some tea."
Elma dutifully served them two cups of hot water.
After drinking a sip of hot water, Takahashi Airi's pale complexion improved slightly.
After a while, Satou came out carrying two steaming hot portions of Twice Cooked Pork, with another portion in a takeout box.
"Please enjoy it," Satou said.
"Then we won't be polite," Yamada Tani smiled, already a bit impatient.
He wanted to see if the dishes made by this young man were really as magical as the chairman said!
Then, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of meat that was perfectly balanced between fat and lean, and began to taste it.
