Tokai Roman's return was not ignored by Tokai. She just turned her head to look at her, then spoke, "You've worked hard, Sister Roman."
Saying this, Tokai trotted over to Tokai Roman and took the pile of ingredients from her hands.
Then she returned to the open kitchen.
Watching Tokai's behavior, Tokai Roman was silent for a few seconds, then shifted her gaze to Mejiro Sanfeng.
Mejiro Sanfeng, sitting at the bar, noticed her gaze and simply raised her hand to wave a greeting.
Seeing Mejiro Sanfeng's action, Tokai Roman just looked at Tokai.
After seeing that she didn't speak.
Tokai Roman just went to the back kitchen to continue her standby work.
After all, the back kitchen is such a place; if no customers come, there isn't much work.
So Tokai Roman could only wait for work.
However… Tokai Roman, who had gone to the back kitchen, watched Tokai working in the kitchen.
And Mejiro Sanfeng finally saw Tokai fully dedicated to a dessert at this time.
"Her craftsmanship is truly superb."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng slightly shifted her gaze back to the menu in her hand.
Most of the dishes on Tokai's menu were simple, and from the few accompanying pictures, it was clear that most of Tokai's dishes were easy to prepare and didn't require much basic manual skill.
Noticing this, Mejiro Sanfeng simply put the menu aside.
After understanding the problems Tokai faced, Mejiro Sanfeng, of course, knew why she was doing this.
After all, compared to making high-end dishes, a commoner's restaurant is more profitable.
Although Mejiro Sanfeng didn't think Tokai couldn't overcome the limitations of ingredients with her skill.
However… the physical problem was still there.
Thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then put down the menu in her hand again, "Shopkeeper Yayoi."
"What's wrong?"
"What is the skill level of your junior disciples?"
Mejiro Sanfeng could probably guess the skill level of Tokai's junior disciples.
But compared to her own guesses, it would be better to ask someone who knew about it.
So, Mejiro Sanfeng asked the question.
And after hearing this question, Tokai thought for a few seconds before responding, "In terms of ability, two of them in the French cuisine field can probably reach Michelin three-star level. As for the others, probably around two stars? It feels a bit lacking."
Hearing this, Mejiro Sanfeng paused for a second.
The Mejiro Family's chef team could only achieve a two-star level when placed outside.
But in Tokai's mouth, it became "a bit lacking."
Thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng paused for a second, then shifted her gaze elsewhere, "In that case, they have a lot of investment potential."
"But don't expect them to make much money."
After casually reminding her, Tokai shifted her gaze back to the dish in front of her.
And watching Tokai's actions, Mejiro Sanfeng fell silent, "Can't make much money?"
"After all, they all came from France, so if their mindset doesn't change, they might aim for the highest standard ingredients."
Hearing Tokai say this, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then shifted her gaze slightly.
Clearly, she had already realized the essence of the problem.
"So that's why you're doing this job…"
"The catering industry near the school is the most profitable, especially in a place like Tracen." Saying this, Tokai focused on the dessert she was preparing.
Hearing Tokai say this, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at Tokai Roman.
After looking at Tokai Roman, Mejiro Sanfeng looked away.
She was just waiting for Tokai's dessert, and casually chatting about other things.
And now… "But since they plan to come to work, I might as well invest a little. It's not a bad thing for me."
After saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng stood up slightly, then saw the dessert Tokai was preparing.
From the decoration on the dessert, the entire dessert seemed exceptionally exquisite.
Looking at such craftsmanship, Mejiro Sanfeng thought for a few seconds before asking a new question, "With your skills, opening a dessert shop wouldn't be bad, would it?"
"Indeed. Although this place is also quite suitable, Uma Musume don't have such high demand, at least not during race periods."
Seeing Tokai say this, Mejiro Sanfeng just nodded, "Indeed, but…"
Watching Tokai's hand movements, Mejiro Sanfeng asked another question, "Do you think that person would like desserts?"
The person Mejiro Sanfeng didn't directly name made Tokai Roman look at her.
Clearly, for those in the know, they all knew exactly who Mejiro Sanfeng was referring to.
And Mejiro Sanfeng's question was met with Tokai's puzzled gaze.
Looking at Tokai's expression.
Mejiro Sanfeng thought for a few seconds before continuing, "That person doesn't particularly like desserts, but doesn't dislike them either. As an option for meeting and discussing things, it's a good choice."
Mejiro Sanfeng's words made Tokai look at her.
Tokai didn't think doing this would yield any benefits, as she wasn't going to apologize.
So, thinking of this, Tokai was silent for a few seconds, then nodded to Mejiro Sanfeng, "Mm, I understand."
"No, what I mean is…"
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng stood up directly.
Then she leaned her upper body over the bar.
Watching Mejiro Sanfeng's actions, Tokai also roughly understood her meaning.
So she leaned her body slightly forward.
Soon, their brief exchange was over.
When she sat back down, Mejiro Sanfeng just looked at Tokai, "How is it? Is it okay?"
"That's fine, but is this enough?"
"It's hard to say, but it's better than doing nothing." Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng looked at Tokai, "So, I'll leave it to you later, okay?"
Facing Mejiro Sanfeng's request, Tokai simply placed the finished dessert in front of Mejiro Sanfeng, "When the time comes, it can be done as long as there's a venue."
"Thanks~" Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng looked at her dessert, "What is this?"
"Frozen cake, but it's just a trial."
"Trial?"
"Because it was made on a whim."
Listening to their conversation, Tokai Roman was silent for a few seconds, then withdrew her gaze; it seemed her worries might not come to pass.
