Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Legend has it that after the once-invincible Spanish Armada was defeated by England.

King Felipe III, in order to control the increasingly serious drunkenness of soldiers and sailors, issued a decree requiring taverns to provide snacks when selling alcohol.

Therefore, the tavern owner invented this kind of Tapas, which is based on bread, drizzled with olive oil, and paired with Spanish ham.

Translated, it is:

Tapas!

Just by looking at it, you can deeply feel that the tapas made by Zhang Fan have endless creativity.

After that, after taking a small sip, you can instantly feel the rich and delicious taste. Paired with the specialty shochu of the Izakaya, it is even more mellow and rich.

As the signature food in restaurants and bars, tapas always sticks to the place closest to the guests like a model.

When a diner orders a glass of wine, the waiter will take it out and quickly put it on the plate.

Therefore, the ingredients must be fresh and reliable, and easy to process and remove.

Foods that are too delicate and too barbaric are often very difficult to handle.

As for the tapas in good condition, they are naturally like what Zhang Fan is making now. They are in the shape of balls or blocks, no larger than the size of a palm, and can be easily picked up with two fingers.

All in all, it must not be dripping, loose in structure, bulky, or too hard or brittle.

Even if it is served in a bowl, the shape has rules!

……

"Finished?"

“The portion is a bit small!”

After swallowing and regaining consciousness, Taki Kadozaki found that all the tapas in front of her had been eaten cleanly.

"Oh, it would be great if I could come up with such a dish at that time, and we wouldn't have lost so miserably."

After thinking for a few moments, she could only whisper.

In fact, judging from the plot of the original work.

In Totsuki Academy, the ten heroes who represent the highest combat power often attend high society, cooking and making delicious food for a group of wealthy people.

It can be seen that even if it is not their subjective will, the ten heroes will be subtly controlled by the capitalists.

There is another problem that few people are aware of:

Class difference!

Erina, why did you insist on taking the noble cuisine route from the beginning?

One of the reasons is naturally that only people of her class have the qualifications, money, and time to taste so-called noble cuisine.

In the final analysis, it is the differences between people that lead to the differences between dishes!

And the even more terrifying fact is that there may not be very few people like her in Yuanyue.

The first chef Si Yingshi’s own cooking style is French cuisine that brings out the original deliciousness of the ingredients, so he has particularly high requirements for the ingredients. The cooking costs must be very high whether it is the selection of materials or labor costs.

Kobayashi Gentian, let alone that.

The rare ingredients that we are good at focus on the word rare.

The rarer the ingredients, the lower the price. For example, the last time she came to the izakaya, she could bring out the precious bear paws!

The desserts from Momoko Akanekubo at the fourth table and the sushi from Soaki Saito at the fifth table are also high-end.

As for Ning Ning's cuisine in the Sixth Seat of Era, although it doesn't look that expensive, because she comes from a noble family, the family education behind her also tends to be conservative.

As for Etsuya Eiyama, the ninth boss, he has a naked capitalist face, and all he thinks about is how to make money through cooking.

Therefore, in the original plot.

When facing the coup of Nakiri Thistle Totsuki.

Those villains, such as the third seat Nuegijima, the seventh seat Isekei, and the eighth seat Kuga Teruki, all have another characteristic:

None of them will take the noble route. Although they may have equally privileged backgrounds, the cooking concepts they adhere to are still dishes that represent the public.

To put it bluntly, Totsuki will fall into chaos in the later period, which is nothing more than a debate about noble cuisine and common people's cuisine.

But this opposition in values ​​has never been mentioned by anyone.

……

Then, stand in Nakiri Shinagi’s perspective.

Regardless of whether it is noble cuisine or common people's cuisine, any cuisine that cannot conquer her divine tongue is not good cuisine.

Because of this, before Zhang Fan appeared, she was very disappointed with the entire culinary world.

I often fight to the death for a mere spot among the top ten. I am either fighting with others all day long, or I am on the way to fight with others. Well, what’s the point?

In her heart, she longs for this group of young people who can lead the future era of cooking to set their goals further.

That's why she planned to secretly support the late-night cook.

But as Zhang Fan's cooking was able to completely conquer the God's Tongue, she regained hope and gave up the plan for a while.

However, on the other hand, she also knew that even if the WGO Food Organization did not interfere, the future era of cooking would eventually arrive in some way.

Instead of waiting quietly, it is better to use my meager strength to speed up all this.

In the end, under her secret manipulation, the late-night cooker incident happened in advance, causing a huge sensation in the entire cooking world.

"It's ridiculous to think about it!"

"Back then, I always tried my best to fight for all the resources in Yuanyue, thinking that as long as I worked hard, I would be rewarded."

"But looking back now, I was still too naive."

"In front of the powerful late-night cooks, what you have is still like a wisp of smoke. It can dissipate in an instant with just a gentle blow from them."

"A new era!"

"The new leader!"

"Could it be said that it is coming and appearing?"

“In the future, all chefs will no longer argue about noble and common cuisine, nor about traditional and molecular cuisine.”

"But it must represent two different worlds, confronting each other, right?"

At this moment, Taki Kadozaki, who had finished eating tapas, couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan over there: "Could it be you?"

"The chef who can defeat the late-night cooks, the person who can integrate the power of all chefs in the outdoor cuisine world, the strong man who can lead the new era of cuisine, will it really be you?"

……

Inside the izakaya, under soft lighting.

The voices of diners and the clinking of tableware are constantly intertwined, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Although she serves as a kitchen assistant, Kikuchichienka occasionally helps serve dishes.

Every time I see her shuttle between the dining tables, busy serving delicious dishes to each diner, Taki Kadozaki here looks extremely ugly!

Who would have thought?

Once upon a time, she was also a Yuanyue graduate.

What's more, Mujiuzhi's self-operated Chunguoting restaurant is recognized as a one-star restaurant by the WGO Food Organization.

As a result, people like this actually did some of the waiter's work in the izakaya, doing chores such as serving dishes, mopping the floor, cleaning tables, entertaining diners, etc.

At exactly this moment, I saw Kikuchono carrying a plate of steaming barbecued pork rice and hurriedly passing by Kadozaki Taki.

Ziliu!

Her feet slipped and her entire body suddenly lost its balance.

She secretly screamed that something was wrong and tried to stabilize herself, but found that it was too late!

"The more I look at it, the more annoyed I get."

"Can a clumsy person like you...be able to do these jobs?"

Finally, Taki Kadozaki, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, stood up and supported her back with force, and then pulled her back.

"Taki, thank you."

<divclass="contentadv">"Without your help, I'm afraid this bowl of barbecued pork rice would have been knocked over."

Mu Jiuzhi knows that there is no danger without danger.

"At this time, you still care about the barbecued pork rice in your hands?"

"I don't even know what to say to you. Forget it, give me the barbecued pork rice and I'll deliver it to you."

Seeing her like this, Kadozaki Taki was even more furious. Without saying a word, he grabbed a steaming bowl of barbecued pork rice from her hand and served it to the diners.

"Taki, this is my duty, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted: "What are you? From now on, I will be responsible for serving food at the izakaya."

"what?"

When Mu Jiuzhi heard this, he was instantly confused!

……

At 12 o'clock in the night, it was finally time for the izakaya to close.

As usual, Zhang Fan used the few remaining ingredients to make a late-night snack, treating Kikuchichiengo, Nakiri Erina, and, oh, also Kadozaki Taki, who suddenly took charge of serving dishes tonight.

Afterwards, a late-night snack ended hastily in a warm atmosphere, and the system's sign-in rewards also followed.

"Ding dong!"

"The host successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the recipe Kung Pao Chicken, the special recipe Baoshan Feilong Hot Pot, the ingredients 5000 grams of bamboo fungus, and 20 porcini mushrooms."

For a thousand chefs, there are a thousand kinds of Kung Pao Chicken.

Whether it is Sichuan cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, Shandong cuisine or Huaiyang cuisine, Kung Pao Chicken is found in it, and the cooking methods are different in different places.

Maybe, to a certain extent, Kung Pao Chicken is not a dish at all, but the "eponymous isomer" of N dishes.

And in terms of historical origins.

The origin of this dish is also a mystery.

During the Xianfeng period, Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong, often asked his chef to make "fried chicken with soy sauce". He thought this dish was particularly delicious.

Later, when he arrived in Sichuan, every time he entertained guests, in order to entertain guests hospitably, Ding Baozhen would ask his chef to use his special skills and stir-fry peanuts, dried chili peppers and tender diced chicken together.

The diced chicken stir-fried in this way has tender meat and delicious flavor. The whole dish is full of color, flavor and flavor, and is very popular among guests.

In short, no matter which method is used, the basic ingredients of Kung Pao Chicken remain the same:

chicken breast.

peanut.

chili.

shallot.

These ingredients are paired together.

This makes the dish have the tender texture of chicken, the crunchiness of peanuts and the spiciness of chili, forming a unique taste.

……

Then, let’s talk about the special recipe, Baoshan Feilong Hotpot.

This dish comes from a casserole dish in "The Little Master of China". To be more precise, it is a paper pot dish.

The physics knowledge in junior high school talked about the phenomenon of boiling water in a paper pot.

When water is poured into a paper pot and heated, if it is under a standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is 100c, and the ignition point of paper is 183c.

In other words, during the boiling process, the water will continuously absorb heat from the paper pot.

In this way, you can see the water boiling, but the paper pot does not catch fire.

One thing you need to pay attention to is that if there is no water or too little water inside the paper pot, the temperature inside the paper pot will rise too quickly when heated, which may cause the risk of burning the paper pot.

Therefore, the most amazing thing about this dish is that this paper pot can simmer the soup while filtering impurities in the ingredients.

Supplemented by lobster balls, it is a collection of various mountain delicacies and lobsters.

Its amazingness is definitely not inferior to the previous Shenglong dumplings and Liebing fresh sea bream!

"In addition to getting special recipes like Baoshan Feilong Hotpot, I can also get 5000 grams of bamboo fungus and 20 porcini mushrooms."

"Considering that when I obtained the Ice Cream Sea Bream recipe before, I also obtained the sea bream ingredients at the same time. Could it be that the recipe rewards obtained from the system can often also obtain the corresponding ingredient rewards?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's eyes flashed.

……

At night, it is like a profound painting slowly unfolding, integrating the colors, light and shadow between heaven and earth.

After receiving the sign-in reward, Zhang Fan could only stretch his legs.

Followed by.

Tired physically and mentally, I went to the bathroom on the third floor.

First turn on the hot water bath, then take off your clothes and lie in the steaming tub to soothe the nerves that have been tense recently!

From beginning to end, the entire bathroom is illuminated by a soft and gentle light, giving it a hazy feel.

Although he was closing his eyes to rest, Zhang Fan's mind was constantly spinning, sorting out everything that had happened recently.

It has been two months since he came to this strange world.

This time is not long, but it is not short either.

For him, owning a continuously upgrading izakaya and meeting many all kinds of diners every night allowed him to see all kinds of life in this world.

This kind of free life is indeed full of unrestraint, and it was what he longed for most in his previous life.

Moreover, it should not be mentioned that the gluttonous Kobayashi Gingou, the gentle Tadokoro Megumi, the arrogant Erina, the anorexic Nagi Nakiri, the big-breasted and natural-looking Engo Kikushi, etc...

These beauties with their own unique styles make his life no longer monotonous.

Of course, his arrival is also affecting them and the world.

Especially the recent late-night cooker incident made him understand completely that some things were beyond his expectations and he couldn't look at them with eyes familiar with the plot of the original novel!

……

Crunch!

Just when Zhang Fan was deep in thought, the bathroom door was quietly opened.

Although the sound was very subtle, Zhang Fan immediately realized something and couldn't help but open his eyes.

He hurriedly got up from the bathtub and couldn't help but raise his head, only to see a figure wearing a thin bathrobe in front of him, his bright eyes filled with a hint of fear.

"Erina?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment and said.

"you you……"

For a moment, Erina was also stunned.

The two of them looked at each other, and I looked at you, and you looked at me, and the entire bathroom atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward!
