Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

An extremely luxurious kitchen.

Leonora Nakiri was squatting in front of an oven, looking at the large pieces of skinned elk meat that were thinly tied with cotton thread in circles, and crispy and fragrant oil and water were emerging.

Seeing this, she looked at the time. Finding that the elk meat in front of me was almost done, I quickly sprinkled some coarse sea salt on the skin side, and then roasted it over high heat for dozens of minutes.

Then pour the roasted gravy carefully into a small pot, mix some starch, red wine, pepper and salt, boil the sauce, and pour it on a few slices of crispy pork.

Finally, it is paired with golden-brown baby potatoes and red beet salad fried in caramel butter, accompanied by warm mulled wine and almond rice pudding.

that's it.

A grilled elk meat that represents the flavor of Nordic cuisine is completed.

……

In Northern Europe, each country has its own characteristics in food.

Especially in Scandinavia, the white nights in summer are particularly long, but in winter there are seven treasures: moose, bear, wolf, lynx, musk deer, cow, and wild boar.

Therefore, there are still many kinds of animals in northern Scandinavia that can be hunted!

basically.

You are in the Nordic countries.

In the freezers of those organic supermarkets, you can often see fresh game in season.

Boxes of hare meat, venison, bear meat, as well as exotic whale meat and fermented shark meat from Norway and Iceland are also in order, waiting to be picked and taken home by diners.

"Huh? Sure enough, it still smells fishy?"

"It seems that my methods are not good enough when it comes to processing elk meat!"

At this time, while eating a small piece of grilled elk meat, Leonora Nakiri couldn't help but frown deeply.

Then, he spit out all the elk meat in his mouth and said helplessly.

……

Although, Leonora's identity has always been the department head of the Nakiri International Research Department of Totsuki Academy.

However, she has been living in the Nordic region for a long time and has always stayed in the research laboratory there. And what she has to do is to continue to use the latest science to create new cuisine and molecular cooking!

Of course, like a daughter, there must be a mother. Oh no, like a mother, there must be a daughter.

The cuisine she is good at, perhaps just like Alice, is molecular cuisine based on high technology and knowledge of chemistry and physics.

But it is undeniable that she is superior in some aspects.

Especially in the less popular field of Nordic cuisine, he also has high attainments.

鹿！

The whole body is a treasure.

Most of the organs on its body can be used as medicinal materials, such as deer antlers.

In many mid-to-high-end pet foods, venison, venison powder, offal, etc. are also important ingredients in dry and wet pet food.

Therefore, the supply of venison from the production side is insufficient, the quality is not good, and the processing technology cannot keep up, making it more difficult for people to have a good consumption experience. In addition, compared with pork, beef, etc., the price of venison is higher, and people’s consumption level is limited...

Therefore, we are more inclined to choose common meats with various cooking methods, high quality and low price!

But in daily life, it doesn’t mean that no one eats venison.

However, when processing venison, you must use some strong spices to remove the meaty smell.

Without these seasonings to cover it up, venison would actually taste very raw and taste bad.

……

"Mom, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

At this moment, Alice Nakiri, who had returned from skipping classes outside, saw her mother's figure, suddenly threw herself into her arms, and asked with a smile.

"Alice, do you want to scare me to death by sneaking out from behind me without me noticing?"

Being hugged by Alice behind her, Leonora's expression immediately changed.

Then, when she saw that the person behind her was actually her daughter, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Alice, the school festival has just ended, don't you want to go to class?"

"Mom, the lecturer suddenly changed."

Alice left Nora Nakiri's arms, and then replied calmly.

"Changed?"

When Leonora heard this, she suddenly felt puzzled.

Naturally, she had heard about the recent events in Totsuki Academy, but as an outsider, she couldn't say much.

After all, isn't this Totsuki coup an internal matter within the entire Nakiri family?

What's more, let alone her.

Even the commander-in-chief Nakiri Senzaemon has no choice but to step down when he is faced with being dismissed by the Ten Heroes collectively. He has not made any movement yet, let alone the slightest hint of resistance.

……

"Mom, after uncle Nakiri Thistle came to power recently and became the new commander-in-chief, he has accelerated the pace of Totsuki's changes."

"He first abolished all cooking courses, research associations, hobby clubs and laboratories, and then established an organization called the Central Gastronomy Agency!"

"I'm going to class today."

"I actually found out that the lecturer has been replaced by the fifth seat of the Ten Elites, Souaki Saito?"

"Although being able to witness and learn the cooking of the top ten is something we first-year students never dare to think about in our lives, but it must be considered according to the actual situation of each student!"

"I am obviously a master in the field of molecular gastronomy, but that senior Souaki Saito is a chef who is good at Japanese sushi and ramen dishes."

“In class, he personally provided us with a brand new saury sushi recipe, and then explained to us a lot of sushi cooking methods. Other students may have listened with great interest, but it made me dizzy. Want to sleep!"

"The things and knowledge he taught are completely different from my concept of molecular cuisine."

"so……"

"I found it very boring, so I skipped class early."

"And Senior Souaki Saito is quite open-minded. He didn't deliberately make things difficult for me, nor did he give me a failing evaluation score."

……

Listening to Alice's words, Leonora Nakiri became silent.

It does sound weird to ask the top ten to replace the lecturers and then pass on all the knowledge and cooking skills they have learned throughout their lives to the first and second grade students below.

Moreover, research associations.

The purpose of its existence is to bring people with the same hobbies together to study what they like the most and are best at!

However, Nakiri Thistle abolished this as soon as he came up.

"It's strange. Could it be that he wants to implement hegemonic rule and turn the entire Totsuki Academy into a gourmet empire exclusive to him, Nakiri Hisashi?"

Leonora couldn't help but murmured to herself.

……

Obviously.

In Leonora's eyes.

The reform policy of Nagiri Thistle is nothing more than two points:

First, distinguish real geniuses from ordinary students. Only geniuses recognized by him are allowed to innovate and research dishes and establish a "central gastronomic institution", while ordinary students are prohibited from innovating and researching!
