Chapter 1146

"Hey, long time no see, Yang Mingjun."

An uncle who had met Yang Ming said hello.

"Long time no see, Uncle Jiu Shan."

An aunt gossiped: "Yang Ming, I've heard about you. The news about your participation in the competition has been spread before."

"Yeah?"

"Then what do you think of my daughter? I'll ask her to come out and have a private chat with you another day."

"Why are you suddenly talking about this kind of thing..."

Yang Ming was confused.

But soon, he discovered that this aunt had a bad start. The other uncles and aunts had strange looks in their eyes, and they pestered the parents of Yang Ming's family one by one, and introduced their daughters by the way.

Yang Ming was even more confused and complained to Yukihira Souma: "You should do the work. I'm afraid that if I continue to stay here, I will be snatched away by uncles and aunts and paired with their daughters."

"Hahaha... there are too many people. I can't handle it alone, and I have to trouble Yang Mingjun!" Xingping Soma's idiot-like smile left Yang Ming helpless.

"Okay, okay, it's true."

It is said that only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it. People living in this commercial street, although in the past, no matter whether it was a treat or something else, as long as it came to eating, they would undoubtedly choose "Xinghei", but they never felt how important "Xinghei" was exist.

It wasn't until Joichiro Yukihira went abroad, Soma Yukihira went to study in Totsuki, and the 'Yukihira' family restaurant had to close, that they realized the importance of this small restaurant.

That is a place where ordinary people like them can also experience the happiness that food can bring.

Therefore, during the short opening hours of 'Xingping' this time, the old customers who knew the news came all the way here, just to enjoy the familiar delicious food.

Well, there is nothing wrong with introducing my daughter to Yang Ming by the way!

"welcome!"

After waves of guests came in and went out contentedly, the number of guests gradually decreased, making Yang Ming and Xing Ping Soma feel much more relaxed.

"It's a little strange-" Yukihira Soma said to Yang Ming who was clearing away the dinner plates after sending a few guests out.

"What's wrong?" The young man raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked.

"I always feel that there are a few people on the road... It should be very lively at this time..."

It's true... Today is Friday, it's already time to get off work from school, and tomorrow is the weekend. Many people will take advantage of this time to buy some things and go home for the weekend. On a usual Friday afternoon, here There are a lot of people.

Although there are many customers in the 'Xingping' shop, many of them live nearby and come here specifically to support them.

"Alas..." As if to deliberately attract their attention, a heavy sigh sounded in the ears of Yukihira Souma.

"Ah... bosses of the commercial street, what's wrong with you?" Xingping Soma then noticed that the people at the table next to him were the owners of several shops in this commercial street, but it was strange. , if they are not in a hurry to sell things, how can they have time to sit here and eat?

"Oh... I'm so annoyed..." The person who spoke was Tomita Yuya, the owner of the convenience store on the commercial street. "Brother Yukihira, you don't know what happened to this commercial street recently..."

"..." Yukihira Soma was silent. He really didn't know anything. "What happened?"

"A month ago... the commercial facilities in the station were renovated and opened... the so-called 'station store'."

Yang Ming also stopped what he was doing and leaned over, a store inside the station? I’m talking about the kind of store that is set up inside a station, focusing on customers commuting to and from school or get off work, right? They are usually clothing stores or bookstores, mainly for the convenience of traveling customers, and they will not have a big impact on a commercial street of this size.

But the reality is obviously different from what Yang Ming thought.

"We didn't pay much attention to them when they opened before, but we didn't expect that they would have such a big impact on our business!"

"Eh?"

"The most popular among them is the fried chicken nugget shop. It is a store that has won the gold medal in the 'All Japan Fried Chicken Nuggets Contest' for three consecutive years! And the crowds of people shopping all flow to the station to buy fried chicken nuggets. shop……"

"As a result... the commercial store gradually lost business, right?" Xingping Soma reasoned.

"Yeah..." Boss Tomita nodded heavily. The more he spoke, the sadder he became. Thinking about the pressure these days, the sales volume of my convenience store is also decreasing day by day. If this continues, it won't take long for it to close. Already..."

A small boss next to him also said: "This is a huge investment, forget it... this is the so-called trend of the times... this commercial street will face such a day sooner or later."

Many customers around also listened quietly to the complaints. Indeed, since the opening of the station store, they rarely went to this commercial street.

"Then... let me think of some solutions!" Xing Ping Soma thought for a moment and said this.

"Pfft——" Yang Ming, who had been listening quietly beside him, almost burst out.

Yukihira Soma! How confident you are! I just thought about destroying a commercial district!

"That kind of thing... is too chaotic, isn't it? Soma." Store manager Tomita saw Yukihira Soma's enthusiastic look and was a little panicked. "Whether it's funding or attractiveness, we are far behind each other!"

God knows he was just a little depressed these days and complained casually, but why did this boy from the Yukihei family recognize him?

"Didn't you say that your opponent's main specialty is fried chicken? Then let's revitalize the commercial street with a new type of fried chicken that can compete with them!"

A small boss next to him shook his head, "It can't be that simple. The other party is a gold medal store that has won the Japan Fried Chicken Competition for three consecutive years. It definitely took a lot of effort to make it. How can we get along with the other party in a short time?" contend."

Someone echoed: "Not only that, they are so popular now. Even if they steal chicken nuggets and make similar ones to them, they will not be able to compete with them unless they attract more talents than them."

...These people would actually think that Xiao Xingxing would steal his master? Imagination is also very rich.

However, Souma Yukihira didn't defend himself, but his face turned a little red. He must have been angry. Yang Ming touched his chin. Souma Yukihira seemed to have a lot of affection for this commercial street.

Store Manager Tomita seemed to be about to say something more, but Souma Yukihira interrupted: "It's better than doing nothing, right?"
