[Proficient Knife Skills]: Master the techniques of rolling cuts for thin slices and flat cuts for fine shreds, easily cutting out uniform thin strands.
As the last customer left, Hoshino Sora's mind heard the system prompt, and then, in a subtle way, he felt as if something had been added to his body.
Without hesitation, Hoshino Sora immediately picked up a potato and very skillfully began to slice thin pieces using the rolling cut method. The slices were uniform in thickness, without a single break from beginning to end.
Looking at the two-meter-long potato slices spread out, Hoshino Sora rolled them up again, then used a flat cut. The next moment, two-meter-long potato shreds were born, and holding both ends, he could probably even use them as a jump rope.
It was to the extent that an amateur would say, "That's something."
"Ding-a-ling~"
A bell rang from outside. This was a wind chime Hoshino Sora had specially decorated at the entrance, which could accurately determine if a customer was visiting. It was a very practical small decoration.
When the two customers appeared at the storefront, Ya Xiang stepped forward to apologize, saying, "Sorry, customers, we're closed for the day and can't serve you. Please come earlier tomorrow." At the same time, she wondered why customers were still coming when the sign at the door had clearly been flipped.
The time was 10 PM. The shop started closing at 9:30 PM. Of course, existing customers inside would continue to be served until all of them left before they would close the doors and leave.
"Are you closed, big sister? It seems we came too late."
"Then let's go. We'll come back tomorrow."
Her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, with a classic hime cut in front. The girl's eyes were slightly red, and her face looked a little blank. Standing still, she resembled an exquisite doll.
"Wait, what do you want to eat? We haven't had dinner yet, so we can make an extra portion for you."
Hearing the commotion, Hoshino Sora walked out of the kitchen. Seeing the two people who had arrived in the shop, his body was struck by lightning. Memories of being hurt in middle school flashed through his mind, and he immediately spoke to retain them.
Although he didn't know why Other World characters would appear in a modern city, this was a two-dimensional world, and anything seemed possible.
The reason for serving them was simple: he wanted to serve them. Akame and Kurome were characters he loved very much in his previous life, and now that he saw them in person, it was impossible for him not to feel excited!
Moreover, if Akame and Kurome were here, then Sheele, Big Brother, Tatsumi, Leone... everyone in Night Raid would be safe!
Oh no, why does it feel like a dream come true in the two-dimensional world?
"Gurgle~"
"We haven't had dinner and want to eat meat dishes."
"Meat! Meat!"
Hearing the two people in front of him, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but ponder. It seemed he didn't have any dishes to meet their needs, mainly because he hadn't bought much meat, and all the pig trotters had been used up.
Wait?!
He hurried back to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Inside was a box of thick-cut bacon. He had seen it at the market and bought it because he felt it looked good.
He had originally planned it for lunch, but business exploded at noon, and they could only quickly eat pig trotter rice to make do and continue working. They had no time to use this bacon at all.
Then he forgot about this bacon until Akame and Kurome said they wanted to eat meat. At the same time, he also remembered the potato bacon roast that Soma Yukihira had made.
Coincidentally, he had all the necessary ingredients in his refrigerator.
"Please wait, I'll let you eat a satisfying dish soon! Asaka-nee and Rika-nee can also look forward to it; the taste will definitely exceed your imagination!"
With eagerness burning in his eyes, Hoshino Sora returned to the kitchen, poked his head out, and shouted to Akame, Kurome, Ya Xiang, and Rika outside. Then, full of enthusiasm, he started steaming potatoes.
He took out onions and diced them to add sweetness, and diced shiitake mushrooms to add texture. At the same time, shiitake mushrooms have a certain oil-absorbing quality, which can perfectly absorb the fat released from the thick-cut bacon, making the overall taste of the dish rich and mellow!
Time slowly passed. After Ya Xiang and Rika finished cleaning the restaurant, they sat down and chatted with Akame and Kurome, then learned their identities.
Food critics.
Simply put, they were online food bloggers who used personal accounts to share small restaurants they found excellent. They had hundreds of thousands of genuine followers, and a single post would garner thousands of comments and hundreds of thousands of likes.
"Wow, that's amazing! So, are you here to promote our shop?"
With wide, blinking eyes, Ya Xiang keenly sensed a business opportunity. She then clasped Akame's hand, her voice full of expectation. If this was the case, then this person was Sora's benefactor!
"We decide whether to recommend a shop based on the taste of the dishes. If the taste here is good, we will naturally recommend it. It depends on your chef's skill."
Sitting honestly beside Akame, Kurome obediently lay on the table like a well-behaved cat, while in her heart, she was looking forward to the dish Hoshino Sora mentioned. His words before entering the kitchen had piqued her interest.
Especially that confident expression, which he would never show unless he was extremely confident in his cooking skills. From this perspective, his dish was indeed worth looking forward to.
Because they received private messages from fans saying that a new restaurant had opened near Sanhe Street and the taste was excellent, they rushed over overnight to provide a review for their fans as quickly as possible.
Come on, let's see if he's truly worthy of their recommendation!
Watching Hoshino Sora approach them steadily, holding a silver tray, Kurome's gaze was fixed on the tray. Although the lid hadn't been opened yet, she could already smell a faint aroma of bacon.
Just bacon?
This thought popped into her mind. Although bacon was indeed meat, it was slightly different from what she had expected. Could bacon really make a delicious meat dish?
Kurome was skeptical, but since she was already sitting here, leaving without tasting the dish would be impolite. So, she remained seated, her eyes fixed on the silver plate in front of her.
"Please enjoy!"
With confidence on his face, Hoshino Sora slowly lifted the lid in front of him. The next moment, the rich aroma of animal fat exploded like a bomb. Golden threads of steam flowed out like silk, wafting through the shop, like active sprites, tugging at the heartstrings of the several girls present.
Saliva secreted profusely in their mouths, and their bodies involuntarily stirred. Looking at the mashed potatoes tightly wrapped in bacon in front of them, the girls' faces flushed slightly, and their bodies couldn't stop twisting.
"This is, this is!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and her body twisted uncontrollably. Her fair, tender thighs rubbed against each other, and an indescribable excitement and thrill welled up from the depths of her heart.
Finally, Akame moved. Facing the fierce assault of the potato bacon roast, her expression remained unchanged, but her hair seemed to be gently blown by an unknown aura, slightly fluttering.
