Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

WGO Gourmet Neon Division.

Nakiri Shinagi is currently leaning on the rocking chair by the window.

She was holding a cup of warm coffee in her hand and looking out the window with blurred eyes.

Maybe she thought of some interesting things in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her, and she was only enjoying this rare peace and comfort!

Take a closer look.

Her hair is a little messy.

But it adds a bit of different charm and style!

Afterwards, her fingers gently rubbed the rim of the cup, her movements elegant and slow.

Lazy!

Take it easy!

In this moment, it is most vividly reflected.

…

"Samagi-sama, the morning sun is coming."

At this moment, Annie pushed the door open and walked in. She looked a little nervous, but said respectfully.

"Um!"

"Let him in."

Nakiri Shinagi nodded and stood up from the chair, then came to the sofa again.

Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a black cloak and a hood walked into the room.

When he saw Managi sitting on the sofa, he quickly bowed respectfully and said in a hoarse voice: "Samagi-sama!"

"You don't have to be so polite, just find a seat and sit down wherever you want."

Shinagawa said calmly.

Her graceful and luxurious demeanor is simply impossible to look at.

What's more, Caibo Chaoyang, who had defeated many elite chefs in succession, felt a tremor in his heart, with a sense of fear.

Caibo Chaoyang can, to a certain extent, represent the dark forces behind late-night cooks.

After all, he became famous by defeating all his opponents in the Dark Cooking Competition as an adult, and eventually became the leader of the Dark Cooking World.

As the special executive officer of the WGO Food Organization.

Nakiri Shinagi has recently been planning to secretly support the late-night cook force.

Put it this way.

She and Caibo Chaoyang are inextricably linked.

Moreover, today's restaurant closures in the entire Neon Country were planned secretly by her and then handed over to the late-night cooks for execution.

On the surface, it seems that these late-night cooks are running amok and destroying the culinary world of Neon Country, but...

After all.

Saiba Chaoyang and others are just her secret pawns.

Although this woman once behaved submissively because she was overly obsessed with Zhang Fan's cooking, when her power network came to light little by little, she made the entire culinary world tremble!

What does she want to do?

What is the meaning of her doing this?

Nakiri Shinagi, this woman is too mysterious after all!

Of course the only thing that is certain is:

For Zhang Fan.

She really has some affection.

…

"How are things going?"

Shinagi glanced at Saiba Chaoyang for a moment, then wanted to pick up the coffee cup and take a sip of warm coffee.

But suddenly she thought of something and quickly put the coffee cup back.

"Except for the SHINO'S branch opened by Shinomiya Kojiro in downtown Tokyo, all the other one-star restaurants certified by the WGO Food Organization have been destroyed by us!" Saiba Chaoyang did not dare to neglect and said truthfully.

"oh!"

"And after that?"

When Shinagi heard this, he was neither happy nor angry, and just continued to ask.

"There are also more than 1,000 high-end restaurants, 2 five-star hotels, 5 four-star hotels, and... 2 two-star restaurants, all of which have closed down!"

Caibo Chaoyang said.

"good."

"To achieve such results in one day, you have done your best."

After hearing this, Nakiri Managi finally showed a satisfied smile.

"It would be my Chaoyang's honor to serve you!"

Chaoyang replied humbly.

"Well, if we follow this pace and implement the current plan, I hope that within a month, everyone in the catering industry in the entire Neon Country will feel panic because of what you have done!"

Nakiri Shinagi said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Managi!"

Caibo Chaoyang immediately patted his chest and responded with a firm look.

Finally, he wisely withdrew.

…

Catering can be considered a service industry.

The characteristic of the service industry is human labor. What changes will human labor bring about in the future?

In business, if the two categories of products and services change, it will inevitably lead to huge industry changes. This industry change is called "normal distribution" and "power law distribution."

A simple summary is:

There are so many groups involved in an industry that it is difficult for an oligopoly or monopoly to emerge.

at the same time.

Most of these groups are in the middle, which is the normal distribution.

On the contrary, if there are fewer groups involved in an industry, and oligopoly and monopoly phenomena are obvious, it belongs to a power law distribution.

In fact, with the development of the times.

The classification of the catering industry is indeed not that strict.

Because there is a mix of low-high and high-low consumption, for example, at Yu Xing Ji in Tianchao Magic City, if you look at the scallion oil noodles on the menu for 18 yuan and the shrimp and shredded pork dishes for 22 yuan, diners will probably classify it as medium or low. Noodle shop.

But if you look at the crab roe noodles at 138 yuan per serving, it can be considered mid-to-high-end in terms of ingredients and price.

Yecui Mountain in Shenzhen.

Regular drinks of molecular juice only cost more than 20 yuan.

But there are still olive juices, which are sold at a price range of 108 to 1,000 yuan.

And a cup of milk like Wenling Yichengyi Coffee is 18 yuan, but the most expensive cup of coffee is 3,888 yuan.

Strictly speaking.

High-end is not represented by one ingredient or one price.

But at least in terms of momentum, they have played a high-end game that does not belong to brand positioning.

Not only are low-end and mid-end moving towards high-end, but high-end is also moving towards low-end. For example, the menus of some hotels have single-point products ranging from 500 to 3,000 yuan, and there are also single-digit to double-digit cost-effective dishes...

...

However, for Nakiri Managi, who has the tongue of God.

No matter how expensive the restaurant is, no matter how high-end the ingredients are, they were all "garbage" in her eyes.

Perhaps, she had long seen the corruption and darkness of the current cooking world, so she made up her mind to use the chess piece of late-night cooking to destroy it!

"Alas!"

"Only one day."

"All the one-star restaurants in Japan have closed down."

"At this rate, sooner or later even the last restaurant in Japan will be wiped out by Saiba Chaoyang and his gang. By then, people won't even have a place to eat, and can only hide at home and cook their own food!"

Annie saw the intention of Nakiri Masagi and the seriousness of the matter, so she couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"I just want to see."

"How far can these chefs in the outer cuisine world go?"

"And does the inner cuisine world represented by Saiba Chaoyang have the strength to lead the next new era?"

Said Nakiri Masagi.

"Master Managi."

"I'm afraid you are going to drag the entire Japanese culinary world into the abyss and make all the chefs feel despair."

"Then, the little izakaya owner was forced to stand up and turn the tide to defeat the late-night cuisine..."

"Annie!"

"Stop it."

Nakiri Managi hurriedly stopped Annie from continuing.

This time, countless restaurants, hotels, and restaurants in the entire Japanese country will definitely be destroyed by late-night cuisine people, and some chefs will even commit suicide because they can't stand the pressure!

Perhaps as Annie said, this will be the most serious blow to the Japanese cuisine in history!

And it is taking advantage of this incident.

The power of late-night cuisine people will also develop and expand rapidly, and openly promote their cooking concepts in the outer cuisine world.

And the chefs in the outer cuisine world may be powerless to stop and resist.

Of course.

The only variable is Zhang Fan.

...

Food from Hainan Island.

It is generally not easy to be accepted at the first bite.

But it will get more and more addictive, and many people are blocked at the first threshold.

In fact.

Hainanese food is not about the cooking method, but the ingredients.

Many dishes, such as coconut chicken, dregs vinegar, white-cut Wenchang chicken, steamed Hele crab, etc., have high requirements for the freshness of the ingredients.

Like the better coconut chicken hotpot restaurants, the chickens are all Wenchang chickens that are killed on order.

Hmm!

The reason why some people think it tastes bad.

It may be that different chefs make very different dishes.

Generally, if you go to the most authentic places, the dregs vinegar in Puqian, the Qingbuliang in Wenchang, and the roast suckling pig in Linggao, you can really feel that it tastes good.

To be honest, Hainanese food really requires an adaptation process.

Basically, there are very few people who like Hainan local food very much the first time they eat it.

Take Zhang Fan himself as an example. He went to Hainan in his previous life. At that time, he couldn't understand why white-cut chicken was eaten with sauce. The name of dregs vinegar made him lose his appetite. Various noodles tasted weird. The only thing he could accept was Qingbuliang.

Because it is sweeter and can really relieve the heat, he even has a problem with coconuts.

However.

After staying there for a while.

He slowly got to know all these delicacies!

...

The moon rose quietly.

The silver moonlight sprinkled on the earth, covering everything with a light silver gauze.

The street lights on both sides of the street lit up, and the dim halo seemed particularly warm in the night. Pedestrians hurried, and vehicles sped, leaving a string of blurred taillights, like shooting stars across the night sky.

Just when one-star restaurants such as Chunguoting, Wuwu, and Ristorante F were all closed down.

The izakaya was still open as usual!

At this moment.

Zhang Fan was taking a larger coconut.

He first chopped it in the middle of the coconut opening, and then chopped it along, similar to chopping wood.

Then, pour out the coconut water.

I saw that there was thick coconut meat in the old coconut shell, and the coconut meat contained coconut milk and oil, which was nourishing, fragrant, and more beneficial!

Then, he scraped the coconut meat with a scraper and left it in the coconut shell.

Cut the chicken into pieces, blanch it, and then put the chicken directly into the coconut, pour some coconut juice into it, add some salt, and then steam the whole coconut in a pot.

You can say that.

This coconut chicken method.

It is the simplest and purest among all the different methods of coconut chicken!

…

Coconut is sweet and neutral in nature.

The pulp has the effects of replenishing the body, strengthening the body, dispelling wind, eliminating malnutrition and killing insects. At the same time, long-term consumption can make people's faces moisturized, benefit people's strength and tolerance to hunger.

Therefore, it has a high economic value!

In tropical areas, people who may live here are quite common to dishes such as coconut chicken. However, for Leonora Nakiri, who has always lived in Northern Europe, it is a bit surprising.

In fact, regarding the choice of coconut, old coconuts are sweeter, and tender coconuts are slightly sweet and sour.

Then the slightly troublesome one is chicken.

Generally speaking.

As long as it is a meat-type chicken, it is fine.

Specifically, it is Qingyuan chicken, bearded chicken, apricot chicken, classical chicken, Xiayan chicken, etc.

Hens are called neck chickens in the Celestial Empire, and roosters are mostly capons. The hens and capons of Wenchang chicken are authentic. The key is that the hens and capons have a suitable length of time.

The local hens in Hainan have about 120 days of mountain exercise. If they continue to be raised, there will be new eggs, and the nutrition loss is large.

The older the castrated chicken is, the more nutritious and fragrant it is, but it is not suitable for cooking coconut chicken. Castrated chickens of 180-200 days are suitable.

Moreover, tender chickens are not fragrant, and older ones are difficult to cook. Meat and egg-laying chickens are probably not suitable.

Egg-laying chickens... that's even less recommended!

...

"Is this new dish coconut chicken?"

Erina, the guest and the new commander-in-chief, blinked and asked.

"Yes."

"It's coconut chicken."

Zhang Fan, who was busy at the side, said with a smile.

In the Hainan region of the Celestial Empire, there are four famous ingredients, namely:

Wenchang chicken.

Jiaji duck.

Dongshan sheep.

Le crab.

The dishes made from these four ingredients have almost become Hainan's exclusive taste enjoyment.

And the coconut chicken dish is even more famous throughout Lingnan.

It is made with the specialty Wenchang chicken and coconut. Of course, under the current conditions, the chicken used in Zhang Fan's coconut chicken is definitely not Wenchang chicken.

But even so, this coconut chicken dish will definitely make Erina and others feel delicious!

The chicken tastes smooth and tender, and it feels very chewy when chewed carefully. With the special sauce, the taste is really:

Delicious!

...

First of all, when it enters the mouth.

The first feeling it brings is freshness, followed by saltiness.

Then, the sweet taste follows. No matter what kind of taste you like, you can taste your favorite taste in this coconut chicken.

"The coconut meat is delicate and soft, and the coconut water is delicious and sweet."

"Although this coconut is rich in mineral nutrients, I didn't expect that both coconut water and coconut meat have a strong fragrance. When paired with tender chicken, it really makes my divine tongue unable to stop!"

After taking a bite, Erina Nakiri immediately sank.

The coconut chicken dish combines the taste of summer with chicken.

The taste is extremely wonderful, and this dish breaks the pattern of ordinary cooking. It creates a dish that is beautiful, delicious, and nutritious.

Coconut fragrance.

The whole soup is particularly refreshing and delicious.

Finally, even the coconut chicken soup can be drunk directly.

The taste of coconut and the freshness of chicken, after drinking a bowl, you will feel full of happiness. (End of this chapter)
