Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Linshan area.

The sales ranking list of each stall and store has just been compiled.

Unexpectedly, Akanekubo Momo's dessert restaurant ranked first. As for Erina Nakiri, who is also one of the top ten, her restaurant ranked third!

Then, there are two stores in the three major areas that are in deficit, namely:

Soma Kohei faced off against Teruki Kuga in the central area and was defeated miserably, and Alice Nakiri, who ranked last in the main avenue area.

At this moment, in a small stall with unique and simple decoration, placed on the table are some molecular cuisine works covered by transparent glass covers.

They are all in strange shapes, including eggs, caviar, chocolate, even screws, etc. It’s dazzling.

The owner of this store stall is a young chef with short silver-white hair. She is wearing a neat white lab coat, and the tools in her hands are flexible and precise, as if she is performing an artistic creation!

The stall is also filled with various utensils:

Blender.

Separator.

dropper.

test tube.

Alcohol lamp.

Slow cooker.

……

Just precise measurement and proportioning.

Some simple ingredients often turn into amazing molecular cuisine!

Whenever passing customers see this, they will inevitably be curious, and then they can't help but order, and Alice quickly operates.

Like today's most popular egg jelly, she first uses a straw to suck the juice into a special container, then adds an appropriate amount of gel, stirs it gently, and pours it into a mold.

After a while, a colorful jelly appeared.

Except, of course, egg jelly.

There is also ice cream made with liquid nitrogen, which has a dense and refreshing taste; foam coffee made with special technology is light and fragrant...

I have to say that these dishes are very creative and visually appealing.

……

"Huh? I'm actually the last one?"

As the sun set, Alice, who had just ended her business, was shocked to learn that she had made a loss.

"Miss," I have told you a long time ago that you have to consider the cost issue in the early stage of running a stall. If you spend so much money to buy these instruments, you will definitely lose money. "

Next to him, Kurokiba Ryo, who was selling seafood ramen, said listlessly.

"Making molecular cuisine definitely requires some instruments, just like a traditional chef needs a kitchen knife."

Hearing this, Alice shrugged, feeling particularly helpless.

Molecular gastronomy!

It itself requires the help of many tools.

Each stall specified in the school festival has a cost limit.

Most of her money was used to buy these equipment, so naturally she had to save costs in other aspects!

Well, it was helpless, but she didn't seem to care too much. After all, this was only the first day. In the next few days, she would just think of some ways to increase the turnover.

"Equipment and instruments are just one of the problems."

"The recipes at your stall are too many and too complicated. They include everything. I want to show all aspects of molecular cuisine to customers."

"Customers will indeed be shocked, but in the end there is no dish that can really leave a deep impression on them."

"Miss, didn't you notice?"

"Many customers will go directly to the next stall after eating something at your place. There is no lingering in the whole process."

Kurokiba Ryo looked at Alice who didn't care and warned her again.

"Ok?"

"did you mean……"

Alice's eyes were deep and she began to think!

……

Dusk hour.

The sky is shrouded in a layer of light gold, as if it is a gradient picture carefully drawn by nature.

The air is filled with a faint aroma of earth and grass, which is the unique smell of dusk. At this time, Totsuki Academy is also immersed in this tranquility and beauty. The shadows of the trees are dancing, the flowers and plants are swaying, everything seems so harmonious and natural!

After the first day of the school festival, the boarding students of Jixing House began to gather together and chat about everything that happened today!

"Wow, Xiaohui, your oden stall won third place in the [Main Avenue District]?"

Yoshino Yuki, who was feeling a little tired, said to Tazoe with excitement at this moment.

"Yeah, I'm surprised too."

"Maybe I am luckier than others. After all, many customers came directly to my stall as soon as they entered the gate."

Tazoe scratched the back of her head, and then replied with a smile.

"If I remember correctly."

"Xiao Hui, is your stall located in the first one in the [Main Avenue Area]?"

On the side, Ryoko Sakaki blinked, seeming to have some realization.

"Yes, I am the first stall."

Tian Suo Hui nodded.

"It's no wonder. This school festival test is not just about cooking skills. The area selection of stalls, the design of recipes, the preparation of ingredients, the control of various expenses and costs, etc... Many factors can affect it. Ranking.”

"For example, in the Linshan area, the first place is Akanekubo Momo in the third seat, and Si Yingshi in the first seat doesn't seem to even be in the top five."

Ryoko Sakaki explained.

"Oh, let's not say we are in the top five, we are not even in the top ten."

When this topic was brought up, Yoshino Yuki's face was full of frustration. She was very confident at first, but when the "report cards" of each stall came out today, her mentality collapsed again!

"Although it did not achieve the results originally expected, it is still profitable."

"I heard that two stalls have suffered losses, one is Miss Alice, and the other is..."

Ryoko Sakaki glanced at Soma briefly and couldn't help but sigh.

……

No more fireworks.

Life may be a lonely journey.

Take 3 fat and 7 lean pieces of pork, that is, the pork is slightly leaner, and then cut it into minced meat.

Add onion ginger water, soy sauce, salt, sugar, pepper and other condiments, and stir vigorously in one direction to make the meat filling elastic.

Then add another tablespoon of hot oil and add the stock in 3 additions.

Take a rolled dough, add an appropriate amount of meat filling, and pinch the edges tightly with your fingers. Generally, more than 18 folds should be made.

Line the bottom of the steamer with oil paper and place the wrapped dumplings into the steamer.

There should be a certain gap between each xiaolongbao. Boil the water in the steamer, put it in the steamer, and steam over high heat for 10 minutes until the xiaolongbao is cooked.

……

generally speaking.

The portion size of a "guest" xiaolong must be controlled within the appetite of one person to meet the standards, such as:

A cage of Yangzhou soup dumplings.

A cage of 4 Wuxi small cages.
