Night fell.
The evening breeze was gentle, almost intoxicating.
Sosuke and Erina had just left the amusement park, having played until now; he held her hand, just like many young couples on a date.
"Where else do you want to go?"
Looking down at Erina, whose mood was always up and down, Sosuke asked gently.
"Tonight… tonight, let's call it a day, shall we?"
"After all, just being able to come to the amusement park with you already makes me very happy."
Erina, feeling the warmth transmitted from his large hand, couldn't help but blush, replying in a low voice.
"Okay, then let's go back."
Finally, accompanied by the soft glow of streetlights.
As they slowly cast their light upon the two, the entire atmosphere became even more warm and cozy!
...
Late at night, the Izakaya, which had been closed for one day, finally reached the moment of its successful renovation and upgrade.
Firstly, this renovation and upgrade didn't change the overall exterior much, but focused on the internal leisure functions, such as the newly added cafe in the leisure area on the first floor.
Moreover, the decor of this area.
Was intentionally redesigned with a fresh, minimalist style.
Then, in the cafe, there was a state-of-the-art intelligent automatic coffee machine.
This coffee machine featured a professional extraction pump pressure technology, a 4-inch L-rotate rotating control screen, a 45° close-fitting circular design, and could even be operated via a mobile app.
At the same time, it possessed a unique grinding system and brewing system, ensuring that the ground coffee particles were fine and uniform.
Coupled with the beverage pre-soaking function, it could pre-wet the ground coffee powder, increasing the extraction rate.
Oh!
And during the brewing process.
It could adjust to three temperatures: high, medium, and low.
It even came with a high-end dual boiler setup, capable of making coffee and frothing milk simultaneously.
Often, within one minute, it could produce a latte, and the taste... should be no less than that of a high-end Starbucks outside!
In short.
Such a coffee machine could completely allow diners who wanted to drink coffee during their leisure time to do so without much effort.
Of course, besides the cafe.
All the tables and chairs in the entire leisure area were also replaced with wisteria material.
The surrounding environment also added some low shrubs and flowers like roses, giving the leisure area a fresh, natural ambiance.
And in such an environment, if one could drink coffee while sitting on a wisteria chair, reading a book, and listening to music, that feeling would indeed be more enjoyable than that of an immortal!
...
Other areas.
Although the overall changes were not significant, every detail also had considerable modifications.
Firstly, the distance from the outside road to the Izakaya entrance, which originally had no path, was now paved with a path made of cobblestones.
Then, what used to be a manual sliding door was now replaced with a tempered glass door with automatic sensing capabilities.
This way, diners no longer had to exert effort to push it open to enter the Izakaya.
Inside, the cooking counter and the back kitchen, all countertop materials were changed from the previous walnut wood to granite.
To some extent, this granite might reduce the classical ambiance, but it was more practical and sturdy.
Because granite, as the hardest natural stone, has low water absorption, high brightness, is stain-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and quite beautiful, making it an excellent countertop material!
In addition, the dining area tables and chairs around the cooking counter were reduced to 10.
This meant that now, at most, only 10 diners could simultaneously watch Sosuke's cooking next to the cooking counter.
However, because an additional 50 square meters were added, the independent dining area also expanded significantly, roughly estimated to accommodate 8 dining tables, with each table seating 6 people.
Other things, like decorative murals, wall clocks, floor tiles, lighting, and so on, also had slight modifications.
...
"Is this the Izakaya after the second upgrade?"
"I didn't expect the biggest change to be the addition of a cafe, and also…"
"A cashier counter?"
Sosuke, who wasn't sleepy, was currently continuously surveying this completely transformed Izakaya.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on the cashier counter in the main hall, fiddled with it a few times, and then muttered to himself with satisfaction.
Although an Izakaya is a place where people can completely relax, its methods are often limited to drinking, chatting, and satisfying one's appetite with food!
But now, this Izakaya no longer just offers gourmet cuisine; it focuses more on the diners' leisure and relaxation methods.
...
How to put it?
This integrated model of food and leisure.
For diners, it meant they no longer had to choose between "cheap convenience" and "delicious health."
Every diner simply needed to complete their order at the cashier counter, and after a short wait, they could enjoy the sumptuous feast meticulously prepared by Sosuke.
Of course, one could also go directly to the cafe and automatically insert money into the coffee machine.
Soon, one could also enjoy a warm cup of coffee.
"The most urgent task right now is to continue hiring staff."
"Otherwise, relying on Kuguchi Sonoka and the temporary worker Erina, we'll definitely be overwhelmed again."
Muttering softly, Sosuke began to feel a little sleepy, and could only helplessly stretch, finally returning to his room on the third floor and collapsing into bed.
...
Take the flesh of the peach, mash it, and filter it.
Take 100 grams, add isomalt, mix and heat to make a syrup, then use a balloon to blow it into a peach shape.
Then, add peach puree to light cream and honey, mix to make a pulp, pour into a siphon bottle, and charge with one cream charger.
Inject a portion into the peach shell, then add mixed fruit pieces.
Finally, garnish with orange grapefruit sorbet, cookie crumbs, red currants, raspberries, blueberries, edible flowers, and mint leaves.
Place all ingredients on a plate, then add the peach.
Thus, using one peach to create a "peach" Molecular Cuisine dish was complete!
When the "peach" was placed on the tip of the tongue, one could discover its incredibly fresh taste, truly like eating a fresh peach just picked from the tree.
Moreover, its texture was very soft.
It quickly melted in the mouth, feeling very comfortable.
Besides the taste and texture, Alice's dish also had a very magical effect, which was:
An explosive sensation!
Yes, during the tasting process.
This dish seemed to "burst" in the mouth.
