(PREVIOUSLY) My restaurant is finally opening soon!
What is she selling?
French full course meals.
But there are rules in running stalls.
The problem is she can only serve one type of food at a stall.
She can't sell her signature full course meals.
Just one dish?
Now she might also make the best cuisine...
for her customers by abiding by the laws on stalls.
As long as there is good food, people will gather there.
Use that one dish to attack their five senses.
I moved from a stall to a store by selling only this fried chicken.
I'll make the one dish that stimulates the five senses!
Duck...
Let's go with duck!
What's going on? Why are they sold out everywhere?
All shops are forbidden to sell you anything.
Who's making them do this?
La reine.
Food prices have increased greatly,
but La reine will purchase the same amount of ingredients...
according to the market price at a time like this.
We're all running a business after all.
It's natural for us to value our customers.
(FISH PRICES SOAR)
(FOOD PRICES SOAR DUE TO THE INCREASE IN GLOBAL SEA TEMPERATURES)
(VEGETABLE PRICES SOARING AS WELL)
(NOTICE ON PRICE AMENDMENT DUE TO NATURAL PHENOMENON)
Come on. The budget isn't enough.
Goodness!
Darn it!
The budget won't be enough.
- Jump! - I give up.
Mitsuko-san is facing huge trouble too.
You can't buy any ingredients. But what can you do?
I'm getting more and more mad now.
- Nothing can't be done. - That doesn't solve anything.
Mitsuko-san, you're so passionate.
Shall I go hunt for them myself?
Hunting?
But you can't hunt every day.
I must have the highest quality ducks.
Ducks?
I plan to sell the popular dish I invented while working at...
La reine. It captivated the hearts of customers all around the world.
It's called duck confit.
What's that?
Cook the duck in oil at low temperature...
and then grill it for a long time...
so that the skin is crispy and crunchy.
It becomes so fragrant and its skin so crunchy.
It's the one dish that attacks your five senses!
I feel like eating it just by listening to your description.
Right?
It's quite similar to fried chicken.
It isn't!
If I sell duck confit at my stall, they will certainly become a hit!
What? Your stall?
We're talking about my stall, aren't we?
We're talking about the school lunch!
- The school lunch? - That's right. The school lunch!
What's wrong with the school lunch?
Her name is Hoshino Mitsuko.
This first class chef...
is troubled because she can't acquire first class ingredients.
What will happen to her three stars stall?
Let's watch this genius chef exert her capabilities tonight.
CHEF: THREE STAR SCHOOL LUNCH Episode 5
Subtitles by VIU
Ripped and synced by gabbyu@subscene
We're going to stop supplying school lunches?
The budget is running out due to the soaring food prices.
Fish prices are soaring due to the rise in sea temperatures.
Vegetable prices have also increased due to the damage from typhoons.
The budget of 240 yen for each student isn't enough.
Can't we increase the budget for the school lunch?
No, it isn't that simple.
We won't get approval from the Board of Education within this year.
So what should we do then?
I'll definitely win the third race tomorrow. Let's bet on that.
But you've never won!
Araki-san, with only a month's budget left,
it won't be enough, will it?
They might even fire some of us.
Please don't. I have credit card bills to pay.
We'll definitely win in the fourth race!
No!
There's only one way out of this.
That's our only way.
I really can't get fired.
You can't mean...
We can only take a break.
Take a break?
Stop supplying school lunch for one day before...
the semester break, or when it would affect their studies the least,
and use the budget saved on that on other days.
If that doesn't work, we'll only...
prepare lunch some days and have the students bring their own lunches.
That's right.
Are we really going to stop supplying school lunches?
We can't stop.
We can't stop supplying school lunches even for a day!
Araki-san...
Listen, we have 300 customers.
Since we have so many customers, we can't close down.
That's right! The kids are waiting for the school lunches made by me!
No matter what the menu is, I'll make it the best.
I see. So we can't cancel the school lunch.
What about your stall?
Of course I'll keep operating it!
Customers all over the world are waiting for my dish.
But you can't buy any duck.
I'll come up with something!
You can't get ingredients,
but both the school lunch and the stall will go on.
- Of course. - Of course.
Our programme won't be cancelled in that case, right?
Action and back action. What a good combination.
The budget just isn't enough. Darn it!
Thank you for your hard work.
It's crumpled up.
We have to find cheap ingredients that fit the budget somehow.
Yes.
But I hope to maintain the menu even if the ingredients are changed.
Pardon?
School lunches must provide fish to the kids five times a month.
We must abide by this rule.
We'll find some cheap fish and get a new vegetable supplier.
Anyway, we must do something.
All right!
How do I acquire the best duck?
This is dangerous. A ball usually hits me by now.
Ouch!
I'm sorry.
Aunty!
I feel like you're always targeting me somehow.
What's wrong with you? You're not energetic at all.
That's because Hidetoshi might not be able to play football anymore.
Football is costly. It's a little difficult for Hidetoshi's family.
Both Pelé and Maradona grew up in poor families.
A superstar wouldn't blame the situation.
Use wisdom and hard work to change the situation. They're free.
Why don't you borrow the uniform and spiked shoes from the seniors?
If your allowance isn't enough, we'll go to matches on our bicycles.
If we work hard together, you can go on playing football.
Everyone...
Here I come!
Defend!
- It's coming. - It's coming.
That aunty can do a curl too.
- I can't reach it! - Me too!
Me too!
This is hopeless.
- Nice one! - Nice!
I knew you could do it!
I won't give up too.
- Yes! - Yes!
Just give up!
I definitely won't sell any to you.
I'll come every day until you sell them to me.
No matter how many times you come, you won't acquire any duck.
We're buying all the best ducks.
You're working very hard to keep me in trouble, aren't you?
Keep you in trouble?
You've bought all the first class ducks...
to stop me from making duck confit, right?
Duck confit? What a coincidence.
Pardon?
La reine is going to open a new restaurant.
A new restaurant?
It's called Neo Bistro La reine.
It's a bistro version of La reine.
We're thinking of making duck confit...
the signature dish of our new restaurant.
La reine's duck confit...
is our exclusive dish made from Challan duck.
I invented the recipe for that, didn't I?
We need to purchase Challan ducks in bulk for our new restaurant.
Even so, do you have to purchase all of them?
Neo Bistro La reine will start a franchising venture in the future.
Many branches are planned.
That's why we need a lot of duck for our signature dish.
I'm really sorry about this.
If you do that, the quality of your food will decrease day by day.
Even with the recipe the taste will change if you change the chef.
Even if it's not totally same,
how many people will realise it?
Even if 10 people out of 100 realise it,
my customers would still be the remaining 90 people.
This is what business is.
After my stall becomes popular...
and customers start comparing our duck confit,
that number will increase from 10 to all 100 customers.
You'll be in a big trouble and your business will fail.
But you can't even get the very best ducks that you need.
If you're running a stall, sell something that suits a stall.
Something that suits a stall?
Why don't you sell Oden?
Three stars Oden. I think that will become popular.
Three stars Oden!
Or three stars fried noodles or three stars octopus balls.
Would you like me to invest in your stall?
That's right.
Oden, fried noodles and octopus balls.
Everything I make will taste the best.
But I won't change my menu.
I'll definitely sell duck confit at my stall.
If you can't sell them to me, introduce me to the duck farmers.
I'll negotiate with them directly.
Give me a break already.
What's wrong with that?
Hey. Shinoda-san is going to open more restaurants in the future,
and that means they'll increase their purchases with us.
He's someone with great influence at the market here.
Even so...
Just give up!
No one wants to get involved with you.
Why are you taking orders from that despicable guy?
I thought you were people with pride.
Hey!
Send these ducks to Kawakami.
I know!
Ducks?
What? Where is Kawakami again?
Boss, how could you forget it?
It's in Shinbashi.
That's right!
It's in Shinbashi!
It's Kawakami Butcher in Shinbashi.
Shinbashi. Kawakami Butcher.
Thank you.
- Thank you! - Thank you very much.
Welcome!
Ma'am, what would you like today?
They're all too small.
Are you looking for something?
The meat is too lean.
Are you buying anything?
These are lean cuts, but why are they so oily?
You're being rude.
They're not good enough!
You're disrupting our business.
I need the highest quality ducks for my duck confit.
Duck confit? Our ducks...
are meant for making onion duck or duck steamboat.
I'm making neither onion duck, nor duck steamboat.
I don't care what you're making!
You're such a nuisance. Just leave if you're not buying anything!
I need the highest quality ducks!
I'm sorry, but you won't be able to buy any mackerel at that price.
The prices have increased greatly lately.
When will the price come down again?
Well, I don't think it's going to happen within this year.
What kind of fish can I buy at 1,500 yen per kilogram?
Well, the prices for all kinds of fish have soared.
You might be able to get these at that price.
Sharks?
Yes, sharks.
Hey, what should I buy for Tomomi-chan's birthday?
How about a cactus?
She definitely won't like that!
How important is she to you among all your girlfriends?
Who is in first place?
Everyone is in first place.
This is the cheapest fish currently. Shark.
Sharks?
Is this "Jaws 2"?
They're not sold nationwide...
because there's too little fat in their muscles...
so the meat is easily damaged during transportation.
We can purchase them in bulk and quick freezed them.
But they smell, and they're lean, so they feel dry when you eat them.
I don't think many kids will like them.
Anyway, we must come up with a way for the kids to eat them.
Let's think about how we should cook them.
The side dishes will remain the same, right?
We have limited ingredients.
And the school lunch must still follow the nutritional guidelines.
What a difficult task.
Anyway, we must work hard so that school lunch can go on!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir.
Araki-san is acting just like when he was still running the restaurant.
That's right.
He's going all out...
cooking with ingredients he just bought from the market.
And he makes unexpectedly delicious dishes every time.
- Araki-san, I'm done. - All right.
Araki-san, how much is a kilogram of shark?
It's about 1,500 yen.
If we continue using mackerel or striped bass...
at their current prices, the cost of a school lunch set...
would increase from 240 yen to 340 yen.
But if we use sharks, it will only be 255 yen.
Do something about the vegetables to cut down that 15 yen.
When you present them in numbers, this seems possible somehow.
There must be vegetables that we can buy at a lower price.
They might give us a discount if we purchase in bulk.
In bulk?
Neo Bistro La reine?
Yes.
Is it a subsidiary of this three stars restaurant?
We plan to serve cuisine of the same quality as La reine's...
at nearly half the price.
Half the price?
Please have a seat.
The restaurant's style will be simple and casual.
We'll control the cost in terms of dining tables, utensils and others.
We'll control the menu strictly and purchase ingredients in bulk...
to reduce the cost.
I got my inspiration from Hoshino Mitsuko's stall.
Hoshino Mitsuko's stall?
At her stall, customers could have La reine's food at half our price.
It becomes a hot topic of conversation.
Customers can enjoy the best atmosphere, cuisine and wine...
at La reine.
But if they'd like to dine casually...
while enjoying the best cuisine, they can go to Neo Bistro La reine.
Customers may choose their dining method...
according to their own needs.
And the signature dish of Neo Bistro La reine will be...
Duck confit.
It's usually cooked in goose fat.
But at La reine, it's vacuum sealed with lobster butter.
This way, the fragrance of lobster...
will upgrade the taste of the duck.
- Yes, Chef. - Yes, Chef.
Set the water temperature at 72 degrees.
The oil is supposed to be at 80 degrees, isn't it?
That's for ordinary ducks.
But at La reine, we use the highest quality Challan ducks.
The meat will lose its softness if it's cooked at 80 degrees.
We'll appoint Chef Okudera's sous chef...
as the head chef of the new restaurant.
In other words, as long as they're diligent, all talented chefs...
can become the chef of Neo Bistro La reine?
That's right.
The new business challenge of a three stars restaurant. Interesting.
Please allow our team to come for an interview.
We're opening next week.
Please do some publicity for us.
This is good material for our programme.
While Hoshino Mitsuko is fighting hard for her stall,
the restaurant she used to work for is starting a new business venture.
This is the type of exciting situations viewers look forward to.
I'm sure the ratings will increase even further.
All right. Please excuse me now.
What's wrong?
No.
You remind me of Hoshino Mitsuko somehow.
Me?
That's not true!
Well then, let's start preparing for tomorrow!
Yes, Sir!
How is the sous chef doing?
Can he make duck confit according to the recipe?
He's still a little lacking.
Chef Hoshino applied very unique techniques in her recipe.
We need hands on experience in order to fully follow the recipe.
I'm counting on you.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
You don't think it's good enough...
to just repeat Chef Hoshino's recipe?
Hoshino Mitsuko is indeed a superstar chef.
But though a superstar can invent a unique dish,
she can't pass it on to someone else.
But with hard work,
you've managed to replicate a dish invented by a superstar chef.
Therefore, you are able to pass the skills on to another chef.
Instead of one superstar chef,
I need 100 chefs who can produce dishes of the same quality.
You're the only one who can unite all of them.
You're a leader on top of the world of chefs.
Thank you very much!
I'll do my best to supervise the staff so that they can produce...
the dish perfectly as soon as possible.
Please pardon my intrusion.
- It's been a long time, Sir. - Hello.
Neo Bistro La reine...
Hey, what should I buy for Tomo-chan?
How about a cactus?
Something spiky like this? Are you an idiot?
The exclusive duck confit that you can only have at La reine.
That duck looks nice.
But I'd have made it even more delicious if that had gone to me.
- Good morning! - Good morning.
Hey, how is it going on with the school lunch?
We came up with a way to continue doing it.
Really?
We purchased some cheap ingredients.
For fish, instead of mackerel or striped bass,
we're using shark.
How about the vegetables?
This guy did a great job regarding that.
When speaking of nutritious, cheap, and vegetables in bulk,
you can only think of sumo hot pot.
This is my secret ingredient.
I've managed to purchase cheap vegetables...
through the special procurement route of sumo hot pots.
Komatsu, you're really the best sumo hot pot cook.
Thank you very much.
Right. You wanted to know our procurement route?
Yes.
With your help,
I'm sure we can buy vegetables at a lower price.
Okay. Understood.
I'll talk to the fan club president. He'll introduce...
you to the supermarket where you can buy cheap vegetables.
Thank you very much.
By the way,
the leader said he missed your sumo hot pot.
Really? I'm glad to hear that.
Why don't you make it for him next time?
That's hot!
It was delicious!
Senior, thank you for the meal!
It's nothing.
Senior, since you're here, teach us some techniques.
That sounds good.
You should do it sometimes. Go!
But...
Just go. You haven't done it in a long time.
All right! Come!
All right!
Senior, please go all out on me!
All right. Come on!
That's all for today.
I practised with the juniors after negotiating with them.
The customers are waiting.
We can't cancel the school lunch.
But you're the one who wanted to cancel it.
Stop mentioning that.
Anyway, the ingredients are ready.
Now we have to come up with new recipes using these ingredients.
If we do it twice a week, we can reduce 15 yen per person...
and continue supplying school lunches within the budget.
- Now, the fourth race... - Enough of that!
These are some new recipes based on the new ingredients.
They're all special dishes from Araki-san.
- It's time for the radio aerobics. - Let's go.
I see. They do look interesting.
We're going to try out the dishes at Araki-san's place tonight.
Is that a deliveryman?
Who is it?
Open the door!
It's that way!
What's wrong with this door?
The food is ready now.
Didn't you come here before?
Really?
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.
This butter grilled fish is nice.
This teriyaki shark is delicious too.
This shark pie is also tasty.
Araki-san, you're indeed incredible!
How is it?
It tastes bad.
The fish still smells and it tastes too light compared to mackerel.
That's true, but how can you compare shark to mackerel?
Araki-san put in so much effort to come up with these new recipes.
Can you really lower expectations just because these are new recipes?
How can you say such a thing under such circumstances?
The school lunch is in a crisis right now.
We're doing good as long as we can provide school lunches.
So we don't have to care about the taste?
I think they're rather delicious though.
No, they just taste bad.
Hey, do you know how hard everyone worked...
in order to get these ingredients?
And Araki-san put in so much effort to come up with these dishes...
within the limited budget and ingredients.
So what?
What's that got to do with the people who are going to eat them?
"I've done my best, so please be understanding."
Are you going to say that to your customers?
If you can't acquire the highest quality ingredients,
then you must use your skills to make the highest quality dishes.
That's what a first class chef does.
If that's the case, why don't you make the best dishes and show us?
Don't use any ingredients other than these.
If you can do it, show us.
Goodness, that's exactly what I wanted.
You've all have worked very hard.
Now it's time to watch how this superstar succeeds.
I'm going to take over from now. Thank you for the meal!
It's not that door!
What's wrong with it?
She's so stubborn.
They're rather delicious though.
But she's not Hoshino Mitsuko if she can accept these.
But how is she going to make dishes that's more delicious than these?
It tastes good.
It still smells, and the taste is too plain.
On the other hand, it should go well with butter.
No, they just taste bad.
Can you really lower expectations just because these are new recipes?
Haru-chan!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
We'll start using the new recipes today.
She won't be able to make anything that tastes better.
I'm annoyed whenever I think about it.
We worked so hard,
but she denied our efforts by criticizing the dishes.
But I wonder what she will do with the ingredients.
Perhaps she'll just apologise and give up.
I think so too.
- Good morning! - Good morning.
I have everything ready for the butter grilled shark.
Nothing has changed!
That's right.
You boasted so much but you're still using Araki-san's recipes!
You couldn't come up with any idea after all.
Apologise to Araki-san!
I meant I didn't change the ingredients.
What do you mean?
I can make them taste better even without changing the ingredients.
I'm a three star chef, aren't I?
I'll win with the essence of French cuisine.
So what is it?
Sauce!
Pair them with Hoshino Mitsuko's special sauce.
The biggest shortcoming of your new recipes was the taste.
Therefore, I'm going to use sauces to make up for that.
Instead of a fruit punch, make orange sauce from the oranges.
I also came up with new sauces for the other new recipes.
It's true. She changed all the recipes.
Araki-san's special dishes with your special sauces?
A collaboration between Araki-san and Hoshino-san?
- This isn't a collaboration. - This isn't a collaboration.
Please enjoy the meal.
Thank you. They're using the new recipes today, right?
Butter grilled shark with orange sauce? I can't imagine its taste.
Thank you for the meal.
This is different from the usual fish, right?
- Will it be delicious? - They don't seem compatible.
Hey, you all.
Step into the classroom too sometimes.
Hurry!
Try not to finish it if you can.
Paired with my exclusive orange sauce,
this is butter grilled shark!
Well then, let's enjoy the meal!
- Thank you for the meal! - Thank you for the meal!
Enjoy your meal!
I've never tasted something like this!
Me too!
It's delicious!
It's great! It's tastes better than all the previous fish dishes!
This is the best fish dish I've ever tasted.
It's sweet!
It's so refreshing.
Please make this dish again in the future!
Let's eat this too tomorrow!
My goodness! This tastes so much better than mackerel!
Goal!
Thank you, everyone. Isn't it the best?
It's delicious! This is the best!
Thank you for your compliments.
- This is delicious. - Isn't it delicious?
- It's delicious. - It's delicious!
Sudo-chan, are you too busy interviewing La reine lately?
You seldom come here anymore.
No, that's not true.
Film this episode well.
Food prices are soaring lately...
Sudo-chan, focus on me.
I'm talking right now.
Here.
The staff was very concerned as food prices are soaring lately,
so I taught them a new method.
And you'll also see...
how Hoshino Mitsuko's orange sauce is made of course!
Everyone, is it delicious?
- It's delicious! - It's delicious!
Everyone, is the fish delicious?
- It's delicious! - It's delicious!
Everyone, the headmistress is here!
Everyone, are you enjoying your meals?
- Yes! - Yes!
It's delicious!
It's sweet!
The taste changes when you eat it with this sauce.
You're right. It doesn't smell and it tastes refreshing.
It's so delicious with this sauce.
This can't be considered a backup recipe anymore.
This is annoying. Why is it so delicious?
See? Great things happen when you two collaborate.
- We didn't collaborate. - We didn't collaborate.
You're even in sync when you're denying it.
In French cuisine, sauces are used to help increase...
the taste of lower quality ingredients...
in order to make the best dish possible.
Although Paris isn't located near the sea,
French people love eating fish. But the fish is no longer fresh when...
it reaches Paris, so sauces were paired with the fish.
Any second class chef can make...
the best dishes with the best ingredients.
However, a first class chef can make the best dishes...
with second class ingredients.
Wait. That sounds familiar.
Oh my! Didn't I say this before?
What a good quote.
Right,
it's a good idea to make first class cuisine through the seasoning.
A superstar can overcome any obstacle.
At the World Cup quarter finals in Mexico in 1986,
Maradona miraculously evaded five defenders and scored a goal!
All right.
She talked by herself and then solved everything by herself.
What's wrong with that woman?
Tomo-chan!
Hello? Look forward to my gift.
What? Weeding the grass in the parking lot?
- Thank you for your patronage. - Thank you.
Welcome!
You again?
They're too small.
Again? Are you picking a fight again?
The meat is too lean.
I told you. We don't sell Challan or Muscovy ducks here.
They're lean meat, but they're too oily.
The fat is important to make onion duck.
Anyway, they're too fresh and not ripened enough.
That's right. Like you said, these are not the best ducks.
They're all second class ducks. So what?
I want these ducks.
I'll buy all of them.
Thank you for your patronage!
Hoshino-san bought all the ducks at Kawakami.
I see.
Boss, is this really okay?
I only sold second class ducks that La reine didn't want to Kawakami.
I didn't know who would buy them,
nor would I know what dishes they would be made into.
I sold it.
There's too little meat so there's not much taste.
But the skin is rather thick, so I can taste the fat.
But it's not a bad thing that its skin is thick.
The sauce that goes well with it...
(SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE)
This should go well with the highest quality duck.
This isn't it.
This is going to highlight the unique taste of duck.
The sebum is too outstanding so it's off balance.
The impact could be too strong.
It's too sour. Too bad.
No sauce goes well with those ducks.
To bring out the good taste of their skin...
while getting rid of the gamey smell of duck...
(TOMATO SAUCE)
Please pardon me.
He made this duck confit.
Perfect.
This is the taste of La reine's duck confit.
I'll make sure he makes the other regular dishes according to...
the recipes before the opening.
I'm counting on you.
Yes. Please wait a second.
Sir, it's Yaguchi-san from CNB Television.
Hello?
So Neo Bistro La reine is going to open next week.
Many foreign television stations will come for an interview too.
Customers will get to have...
three stars cuisine at an affordable price.
I'm sure this will become a hot topic.
I see. I'm looking forward to a splendid duel.
Duel?
Between a three stars restaurant and a stall.
A stall?
Hoshino Mitsuko's stall.
I heard she's going to reopen her stall today.
You must be kidding me.
The one dish she will serve at her stall...
is duck confit.
That's impossible.
She isn't able to get the highest quality ducks.
That's right. That's why she's going with second class ducks.
Second class ducks?
She's going to use her techniques...
to make them taste even better than the highest quality duck.
And as she got the ingredients at a low price,
she selling the dish at 999 yen inclusive of tax.
Neo Bistro La reine's duck confit...
and Hoshino Mitsuko's duck confit at her stall...
will be covered by our programme at the same time.
I wonder which will be more well received by customers.
I'll present this piece of material with the most eye catching way.
Please excuse me now.
Tomo-chan, long time no see.
Long time no see.
- You're so late. - By the way, I'm sorry,
but what's her ranking among 14?
- "14"? - What did he mean by "14"?
Number 14 is on the battlefield.
Ridiculous!
- Sudo-chan! - Yes?
Hey, come over here.
Hold this.
This way!
I apologise for making you wait. I'm sorry.
- Nice to meet you. - Hi.
She's Kaneko Tomomi-san.
Tomo-chan's father is a real estate tycoon.
This land belongs to Tomo-chan's father.
Come, Tomo-chan. This way.
- Thank you. - Come.
All right.
Ouch!
Hey, are you okay? You're too tall.
What's wrong with you? My goodness.
Hey, I can really use this place?
As you can see, this is a parking lot.
But the person who rented this place has disappeared,
and it's a waste to just leave it here.
Tomo-chan wanted to utilize it,
so I thought of introducing her to you.
Wait. Let me make sure of this. This is private land,
so as long as I have the owner's permission,
I can set up my stall here, right?
That's right!
But I don't have any money.
That's fine.
I love duck confit. Please cook it for me.
Of course! Then I can rent this land free of charge, right?
Hey, is there anyone among the 14 women...
who sells cheap and tasty wine?
"Among the 14 women"?
Let's stop talking about that. Tomo-chan, I have something for you.
A cactus? I love it!
Really?
Can you all try to cheer up the scene?
Why must we do that?
Who's going to be the cameraman then?
- I'm the cameraman! - Don't make us do that.
That looks delicious!
Indeed.
It really does!
Act more natural.
Hey, what are you all doing?
There's a reason for this.
What's so surprising about that?
Please let me explain.
Masa, something smells good.
A stall?
I saw it on TV!
It's from over there, right?
It's that stall, right?
She reopened her stall?
But she's not serving full course meals.
Duck confit?
It looks so delicious!
Kaori, I'm drooling just by looking at it.
It's 999 yen?
It's so cheap! Why don't we give it a try?
Let's try it!
It smells good!
Welcome!
Please have a seat.
It smells so good.
I'm only serving duck confit. Is that okay?
Why are you carrying the light ones?
You don't understand women at all!
I'm sorry.
I've bought some take out.
This is Mitsuko-san's duck confit!
Why did you bring that here?
She wanted us to try it out.
By the way, Minoru, Tomo-chan said she loved the cactus.
You understand women so well.
She just said I didn't.
- Thank you for the food. - I'll enjoy the food!
It's incredible! What is this?
Goodness! This is too delicious!
Hey, this seasoning is...
It's curry flavoured.
I thought she would pair it with some complicated sauce.
I never expected her to pair it with curry.
It's the greatest weapon in school lunches.
That woman got her inspiration from school lunches.
Araki-san, how is it?
It's not bad.
After she brushed honey on the duck,
she sprinkled some curry powder onto it.
Honey?
Honey makes sure the curry powder penetrate into the meat well.
It highlights its good taste while eliminating its smell.
Also, its sweetness collaborates with the spiciness of curry...
and makes the taste even richer.
I see.
But this gets 50 points.
That's if my fried chicken is 100 points.
Hidaka-san just bought some of her duck confit.
I'm just on my way home.
- Don't you want to try it out? - It's delicious.
- Come on. It's delicious. - No. It's okay.
Hey! Isn't that Sakurai?
Hikari! What are you doing there?
Please excuse me.
Sakurai Hikari?
Isn't her name Takayama Haruko?
She's using a fake name?
A fake name? Why?
Well, perhaps she has something to hide about her past.
- Let's go! - Why?
Hey, that stall...
is owned by the chef of the school you're working at, right?
It smells really good.
It's only 999 yen!
That's so cheap! Hey, let's try it out.
- Good idea! Let's try it out. - Let's go!
I'm going home.
Hey, Hikari! What's wrong?
Hey, let's all try it out.
Hikari! Hey!
Hikari!
(ON THE NEXT EPISODE)
Onion gratin soup is a very special dish to me.
I know the real taste of the best onion gratin soup.
This is only 999 yen.
That person abandoned me.
That woman should be depressed now.
Ouch!
What will happen? He certainly won't leave her alone.
I want to make it a different restaurant.
I'll feel satisfied if I can see her at a loss.
I certainly didn't abandon her!
I just couldn't give up cooking.
