Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

With a glass of ice-cold sake and a sigh of contentment, Chitota Natsuya slowly said: "As expected of a former Totsuki graduate, his cooking skills are top-notch in the entire Neon Kingdom!"

Hear the words.

Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo, covered his mouth and chuckled.

Ever since she was here at the izakaya, she could always hear such compliments and comments.

Therefore, she was more or less indifferent.

"Xia Ya, you are really over the top."

"My current identity is just a helper at an izakaya."

"Um!"

"The last time I came here."

"I'm just wondering why someone with such a huge influence in the French cuisine world like you is in this izakaya."

in words.

You can still hear Qiantu Xia Ya's confusion.

But after experiencing Zhang Fan's curry last time, she might have some answers in her heart.

First of all, French cuisine is invincible throughout Europe, winning against Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, British and German cuisines. Even the haute cuisine of Russian cuisine evolved from French cuisine.

The production process of French cuisine has always been delicate and cumbersome, using a lot of expensive and fresh ingredients.

The yield of many food ingredients is very low.

Serve the food.

The last step.

There are also requirements for aesthetics. Plate placement is presentation, and aesthetics is also an important part of the presentation of French cuisine!

Therefore, the chefs who make French cuisine are often very talented. It is no exaggeration to say that in the field of French cuisine in the entire Neon Country, if Mujiuzhiengo is missing, it will be overshadowed.

This big-breasted monster does have an admirable gentleness and amazing cooking skills.

…

Restaurant now.

In order to become "invincible", people have begun to refer to Marvel movies to modify the genes of food and let them mutate, such as:

Molecular cuisine that is completely unrecognizable to its original form!

Of course, according to the normal standard level, it is essentially a deformity.

But transforming the food into something glamorous would require a huge investment in an average restaurant.

The most common one is “genetically modified”

Apply the concept of fire to various foods.

The beef brisket is carefully stewed, and the meat becomes soft and juicy. You can feel the delicate texture when you tear it lightly.

The curry sauce slides over the tip of the tongue like silk, with a slight spiciness and rich spices, making people feel like they are in a foreign country and feel the unique exotic customs.

Tasting it carefully in your mouth, the aroma of curry and the deliciousness of beef brisket are intertwined, forming an indescribable and wonderful taste.

Every bite.

It's like a feast for the taste buds.

In addition, the side dishes of curry beef brisket are equally exciting.

Paired with a bowl of steaming rice, the curry sauce can penetrate perfectly into the rice grains, making every grain of rice full of rich curry aroma.

Pair it with a refreshing vegetable salad, which can relieve fatigue and add a refreshing taste!

…

At night, with the departure of the sisters Sentata Ori and Sentata Natsume, the izakaya officially closed!

At this moment, on the brightly lit road, Qianhe Zori was sitting in a black car. After opening the car window, the whistling cold wind kept blowing from the side of her face, causing the wrinkles on her forehead to rise. The hair kept dancing slightly.

She had somewhat complicated feelings about Zhang Fan.

Especially knowing that his heart was not in HUB Food Company at all, he felt a touch of sadness.

"sister!"

"It seems the rumors are true!"

"With Zhang Fan's abilities, it is indeed possible for him to conquer Nagiri Shinagi, who represents the No. 1 presence in the gourmet world of Neon Country!"

Afterwards, Qianhe Zhihui, who was in a complicated mood, turned back to her sister next to her and asked.

"Actually, it's not just her."

"Totsuki graduates like Kikuchichi Sonoka and Kadozaki Taki are all willing to work as kitchen helpers at his place."

"Sister, that izakaya may not be as simple as we thought."

Qian Tu Xia Ya nodded, looking a little serious!

In fact, they have done a lot of research, but found that a lot of information about this izakaya is very vague, such as:

Zhang Fan is from the Celestial Dynasty, so when did he come to Neon Country?

Which culinary school did he graduate from?

Why is his cooking skills so amazing?

And why do executives like the WGO food organization often appear in his izakaya?

…

"Sister, you are right."

"This time I came to the izakaya again, and Zhang Fan's performance exceeded my expectations again!" "Let's just talk about tonight's curry beef brisket pot,"

"Anyway."

"As we learn more about it today."

"I'm becoming more and more fond of him!"

Speaking of which.

Qianhe Zhihui's bright eyes began to sparkle, full of excitement.

"Ding dong!"

"Successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the new recipe of twice-cooked pork, Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu!"

Finally, as the system sounded, it meant that Zhang Fan's izakaya was finally closing.

…

New recipe, hot twice-cooked pork.

It is still a dish in "The Little Master of China", and the producer is the protagonist Liu Pleiades.

In the original plot, it was the first dish Liu Pleiades made when he was on the Yangtze River in a "fire" competition with Yakan from the dark cooking world!

The preparation of this dish is almost the same as ordinary stir-fried twice-cooked pork.

but.

There is a little difference.

It depends on the heat, you must use a red-hot iron pot.

Quickly fry the prepared meat slices, cabbage and other ingredients. In this way, the fiery spiciness can be mixed with a hint of sweetness!

And when you eat the meat slices oily and tender, you can have that instant melting feeling.

Finally, paired with crispy cabbage, it tastes great.

As for the current stir-fried dishes in izakayas, apart from beef stir-fried with green onions, there is almost nothing special about it.

Therefore, this new recipe of hot twice-cooked pork is destined to change this izakaya!

…

Then, there is this Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu.

Liu Pleiaxing, what was the cooking he made in the final showdown with Shao An in the Lou Lin ship banquet cooking showdown?

Because Xiang En was framed, he had an idea. He used lard boards as compartments to make black and white compartments of tofu, heated them directly in a mold to melt the lard into the tofu, and added special mapo sauce to the mold. The silk thread cuts the tofu in an instant, just like magic.

Use white tofu to neutralize the spiciness that irritates the tongue, and then use dark sweet tofu to bring out the spiciness again, creating a wave of attack that sweeps over the taste.

Moreover, unlike the previous Magic Mapo Tofu with six flavors integrated into it, Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu also has a brand new flavor.

That is:

Sweet!

This kind of black tofu is made from black beans, but its production process is similar to that of white tofu.

It tastes very elastic, has a more tender texture, and also has a refreshing sweetness.

…

In the early morning, everything is silent.

A trace of light appeared on the eastern horizon, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky!

And a new day began to come gradually from a distance.

"alright."

"This is my new dish."

At this moment, Alice Nakiri, who was an intern in the late-night cafeteria, laid out a new dish she had just made.

A closer look revealed that the new dish was a fried egg.

Moreover, it is a one-sided fried egg. The yolk and white are extremely clear, and there is no burnt edge that an fried egg should have on the edge. The white is also neat and delicate.

When you scoop it up with a spoon, the egg white is still in a semi-liquid state.

Obviously.

Such half-raw "eggs".

It is inevitable that visually, people feel some psychological barriers.

But once you taste it, you will find that the egg white is yogurt and the yolk is expensive caviar.

…

"Zhang Fan, please taste it."

"Let's see if my cooking skills have improved during the field study activities?"

Immediately, Alice here took a few steps forward and said calmly.

"Alice."

"Your internship at the izakaya is only for a day or two!"

"So, you are so anxious to make progress?"

Zhang Fan, who had just finished his breakfast dessert, looked at the brand new molecular cuisine in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

Compared to Erina, Nakiri Alice has a completely different "flavor".

Although she is also the eldest lady, she does not have that arrogant and willful character, but is more quirky and real.

Of course, Alice, the concept of winning or losing is not that strong.

The reason why she keeps trying to challenge Erina's status is just because she is fighting!

In many things, although she is quite nonsensical. But the advantages of being confident, calm and able to stand up quickly after failure are still worthy of Zhang Fan's appreciation.

at the same time.

Compared to Erina who extremely suppresses her feelings.

Nakiri Alice is also richer in terms of emotions, and her joy, anger, sorrow and joy can be fully displayed.

The success of the Autumn Trials, looking at it now, did not make her fall into narcissism and pride. Instead, she was very eager to become stronger and make progress.

So when faced with Alice's new cuisine, Zhang Fan felt a little surprised at first, but then he felt relieved!

…

"Um!"

"A thin skin that can be broken by a blow."

"It can be wrapped in mango juice and made up into this lovely egg yolk."

"And this kind of molecular cuisine with egg whites made of yogurt and egg yolks made of mango! It is indeed eye-catching the moment you eat it."

At this time, Zhang Fan took a small bite of the "omelet" and slowly recalled the taste in his mouth.

The mango egg yolk is like caviar and does not have a tangy fragrance like other fruits, but if you put it under your nose and smell it carefully, you will smell a light fragrance. This made Zhang Fan nod secretly and his eyes lit up!

"I see."

"The amazing thing about this molecular cuisine is that it looks like an omelette on the outside! But when you eat it, the fragrance of mango and yogurt bursts out in your mouth."

"The reason for this magical phenomenon is that its basic raw materials are sodium alginate and calcium chloride."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fan opened his eyes and said to Alice.

…

"good."

"My cooking does use sodium alginate and calcium chloride."

Alice Nakiri was a little surprised that Zhang Fan could analyze her cooking!

"It's indeed a good idea."

Zhang Fan's eyes flickered, and then he said: "But, Alice, you seem to have forgotten something."

"Since mango juice has a relatively high acidity, in order to adjust the pH value, the reaction between sodium alginate and calcium chloride must proceed smoothly."

"therefore."

"Usually in mango juice."

“Sodium citrate will be added as an acidity regulator.”

“But in this way, while striving for authenticity, the ingredients themselves are often overlooked.”

…

Listen to Zhang Fan's words.

Alice couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Finally, she frowned deeply and couldn't help but ask Zhang Fan: "Then... what should we do?"

“You can try adding popping candy!”

Think about it.

Zhang Fan replied like this.

"ha?"

Nakiri Alice couldn't help but be stunned, with a look of confusion on her face.

"You don't know about popping candies, do you?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fanwei could only smile bitterly and said: "You! You are born too noble and have lived in the Nordic region for a long time. As a result, you know very little about common people."

…

I vaguely remember.

In the original plot.

Nakiri Alice doesn’t even know about Nori.

And her lack of knowledge in this area often becomes her fatal flaw!

"The carbon dioxide contained in the popping candy can vaporize when heated in the mouth and generate a thrust. It is because of this thrust that the popping candy particles bounce in the mouth."

"I believe that adding popping candy to your molecular cuisine can make the taste a little chewier and enhance the sweetness of the entire dish by relying on the characteristics of popping candy."

In the end, Zhang Fan could only explain it this way.

After that, he thought of something else and couldn't help but continue: "Alice! I can understand your desire to become stronger after the autumn selection."

“But there is an old saying in China, haste makes waste.”

"It means that you have to take your time in everything and don't be too hasty. If you go against the rules and just pursue speed, you will not achieve your goal!"

"ha?"

“Haste makes waste?”

When Alice heard this, she was inevitably a little unhappy!

snort!

What are you talking about?

Erina's cooking skills have always been superior to mine.

And not just in cooking, she is far better than me!

Even in terms of relationships, I'm a step behind her, so can I not be in a hurry?

Involuntarily, Alice Nakiri complained a little in her heart.

But whining is just whining, but she was as obedient as a little sheep in front of Zhang Fan. She could only nod her head and say slowly: "Oh, I understand!"

…

Maybe, for Alice.

She may indeed be too anxious now.

However, during the residential training period, Erina's performance on the breakfast subject was still vivid in her mind when she recalled it.

Every time she thought of it, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed hard by a knife!

That strong sense of uneasiness and crisis has always filled her heart.

To be honest, she was a little envious of Erina.

After all, Erina, who has the talent of God's Tongue, can become the tenth seat of the Ten Elites as the leader of the Elementary Department.

How is it like herself? She doesn't even know if she has a spot among the next top ten candidates? (End of chapter)
