Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.

The world seems to be slowly covered by a layer of soft black gauze.

The stars twinkle in the distant sky, like an ancient and mysterious lighthouse, leading the night's voyage.

The moonlight is like water.

Through the sparse clouds.

Sprinkling mottled light and shadow, covering the earth with a layer of silver-white gauze.

On the food street, the street lights are dim and warm, stretching the shadows of pedestrians long. Occasionally, a few cars returning at night pass by, leaving a string of light and shadow interlaced, and then quickly return to silence.

The wind!

With the coolness of the night.

Gently brushing over the treetops, making a rustling sound.

It seems like the whisper of the night, telling those unknown stories.

And some restaurants, hotels, or late-night canteens have mostly turned off the lights, only a few lights are still on, perhaps the lights of the night returnees who are not asleep, or the waiting of a lonely soul.

These lights are particularly eye-catching in the darkness, like the brightest stars in the night sky, giving people a hint of warmth and hope.

…

At this time.

In the izakaya, Leonora, who had a big appetite, actually ate two plates of crab roe tofu in a row.

It must be said that the long-lost feeling of fullness and the deliciousness of crab roe tofu really made this foreigner feel unforgettable all the time...

"Hmm~"

"It's so comfortable!"

"Sure enough, only Zhang Fan's cooking can satisfy me!"

It seems that Leonora Nakiri, who has not had enough fun yet, can only touch her bulging belly and squint her eyes slightly.

Then, she drank quietly, occasionally looking at Zhang Fan.

…

Have a pretty face.

The eyes reveal a passion and persistence for life and work, and there is often a smile on the corners of her mouth, giving people a sense of intimacy.

And the angular face, and the deep eyes that sparkle like black crystals.

Don't say it.

People like Zhang Fan.

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a "handsome man".

In his work at the izakaya, he is always diligent, not afraid of dirt or tiredness, and uses practical actions to interpret his love for cooking and respect for diners. Moreover, he always has a calm and wild temperament!

So much so that even Leonora was stunned.

Maybe.

He is just too charming.

So many people like to stay in his izakaya and don't want to leave, right?

...

Hmm!

With Zhang Fan's current dosage.

Oh no, with his current cooking skills, he can completely conquer anyone in this world.

And what is even more valuable is that Zhang Fan is a mysterious person from beginning to end, and no one will ever know what his strength is.

Let's talk about it.

In the food battle with Saiba Chaoyang.

The "Eight Demon-Breaking Formations" that could control Nakiri Masaaki's mind, still shocked Leonora when she recalled it!

Yes!

In this world.

How could there be such an amazing dish?

Moreover, the crab roe tofu that I just ate, although it was a simple dish, actually tasted good.

Otherwise, as a Nordic, Nakiri Leonora would not have eaten two whole plates in one go.

You can say.

If it is just based on the standards of a normal chef, this Zhang Fan is the strongest!

Whether it is innate talent or acquired efforts, he has been recognized by Nakiri Masaaki, Nakiri Leonora, Nakiri Erina, Kobayashi Ryodan and others.

...

"Hey!"

"Zhang Fan, in addition to salted egg yolk, what other ingredients can be made into the taste of crab roe?"

Unexpectedly, Alice, who also ate crab roe tofu, asked Zhang Fan curiously after thinking for a few times.

"Carrot puree and ordinary egg yolks will do."

"You can peel the carrots and rub them into puree, stir-fry with the fried egg yolks, and you can make ingredients similar to crab roe."

"Of course."

"This method."

"Although the taste and flavor are different from real crab roe, it is also an economical choice."

Zhang Fan explained.

Tofu can be said to be the most down-to-earth ingredient.

The Chinese people's table can always be missing something, but it is indispensable.

After all, people have eaten tofu for more than 2,000 years, but they are not tired of it. Maybe it's because it's so easy to play with. Anyone can fill their stomachs with it, and it doesn't require particularly high skills!

Whether it's fried, boiled, stewed, or cold, a bowl of tofu dishes is easy, no matter how you cook it, it won't be too bad.

However, it's too common.

So many people find it hard to think of what kind of splash it can make at a time?

365 days a year.

The tofu you see is always the same!

And Mapo tofu and the like are very well-known and common.

Therefore, this crab roe tofu without crab roe is naturally favored by many people.

Especially the crab roe tofu made by Zhang Fan, the feeling of eating it is like playing in the cool breeze on the beach, and occasionally a few big fat crabs are rampant on the beach!

Well, this is probably the feeling of summer.

In addition to being delicious, this dish is also rich in nutritional value.

Tofu is rich in high-quality protein and a variety of trace elements necessary for the human body. It can nourish the spleen and replenish qi, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and clear away heat and detoxify.

The minerals of pickled salted eggs are well preserved.

The calcium content is also greatly improved. When paired with rennet tofu, it can indeed have a good calcium supplement effect.

…

"Ding Dong!"

"Host, successfully signed in once."

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for winning 1,000 food coins, special recipe Guo Shi Wu Shuang Nian, special ingredients Gem meat * 50 catties"

Guo Shi Wu Shuang.

It means top talents or outstanding works in a certain field.

Using it to name pasta gives this pasta a very high evaluation and expectation.

In the original plot, the so-called Guo Shi Wu Shuang Nian refers to Han Xin, a general who founded the country in the early Han Dynasty.

Han Xin was called "the unparalleled hero" because he was a military commander under Liu Bang, brave and resourceful, and used military strategies to the extreme. He led millions of soldiers in the war, and he always won and conquered. He was the most outstanding hero in the late Qin and early Han dynasties!

He left Chencang.

He conquered the Three Qins.

He captured Wei Bao.

He destroyed the Dai land.

He destroyed the Zhao State.

He conquered the Yan State.

He attacked the Qi State.

He killed Long Ju.

Finally, he surrounded Xiang Yu from all sides at Gaixia and wiped out the Chu army in one fell swoop.

It can be said that Han Xin had almost no defeat in all the major battles during the Chu-Han War until Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide at Gaixia.

Moreover, after Liu Bang took away his military power for the first time and ordered him to march north, he almost started from scratch, and the northern expedition recovered Qi. Such a strategist and military strategist was rare in the pre-Qin period.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was no one else except him. Calling him "the unparalleled national scholar" is indeed a brilliant statement!

...

As for.

The unparalleled national scholar noodles.

In terms of preparation, it should also be relatively simple.

After mixing flour, salt, eggs and other ingredients evenly, add an appropriate amount of water or alkaline water and knead into a smooth dough.

Then let the dough stand for a while to relax and ferment better.

Roll the dough into thin sheets, then fold it up and cut it into thin strips to form noodles.

Then, put the cut noodles into boiling water and cook them. During this period, you may need to add water several times to keep the water boiling, and control the cooking time of the noodles to achieve the ideal taste.

Prepare the soup base and ingredients according to taste requirements.

For example, you can use lard, fat, etc. to make a rich soup base, and add seasonings such as onions, ginger, and garlic to enhance the aroma.

At the same time, prepare various toppings or side dishes, such as stir-fried crab roe, ancient braised meat, etc.

Finally.

After draining the cooked noodles, put them in a bowl.

Then add the right amount of soup base and ingredients, add soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings according to personal taste and mix well before serving.

Generally speaking, Guoshi Wushuang noodles are thin and elastic, with a smooth and non-greasy taste.

Due to the addition of a variety of ingredients and seasonings, the flavor of Guoshi Wushuang noodles is rich and diverse, with both the wheat and egg aroma of the noodles themselves, as well as the freshness of the ingredients and the richness of the soup base!

Well, as a noodle dish with cultural implications.

Guoshi Wushuang noodles not only satisfies people's taste buds, but also embodies people's yearning and pursuit for a better life.

…

"Oh?"

"Is today's sign-in reward so surprising?"

Here, Zhang Fan was inevitably stunned when he learned that he not only got a special recipe Guoshi Wushuang noodles, but also got 50 kilograms of special ingredients of gem meat.

The previous milk banana was enough to cause a sensation in the entire cooking world.

So he dared not imagine what kind of chain reaction the appearance of gem meat would trigger in Neon Country and in the food industry?

Gem meat

As the name suggests, its appearance is as dazzling as a gem.

When this huge piece of meat is presented to people, it shines with colorful light, which is not as dazzling as ordinary gems, but has a soft and mysterious temperament.

The whole piece of meat seems to be given life, exuding an irresistible charm.

Under different light, the color of gem meat will also change subtly, like the most exquisite palette of nature.

…

The touch of gem meat.

Similarly, it is unforgettable.

Its meat is extremely soft, as if it can melt on the fingertips with a light touch, but at the same time it maintains enough elasticity and chewiness, so that people can feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction when tasting it.

This unique touch makes people sigh at the ingenuity of nature.

Speaking of taste.

Gem meat has reached the pinnacle of gourmet food.

It is not just a simple ingredient, but also a magical existence that can stimulate human potential and awaken dormant taste buds.

When the gem meat is cooked into various delicacies, its taste will bloom in the mouth like fireworks, bringing an unprecedented taste feast.

This taste is both refreshing and rich, both delicious and mellow.

When people taste it, they seem to be in a world full of happiness and satisfaction.

…

In the plot of "The Prisoner of Food".

Gem meat actually comes from a mammal, the Ligaru mammoth.

The Ligaru mammoth grows very fast. It can reach a body length of 50 meters in a few weeks after birth, and it seems to be about 10 meters when it is born.

And.

It's not just fast growth.

It also has a long life span, often living for more than 500 years, and continues to grow during this period.

Then, somewhere in the body of the Ligaru mammoth, there is "gem meat" that combines the deliciousness of all parts of the body.

This piece of meat is named because it sparkles like a gem, and it is extremely rare and is a super high-end ingredient.

Depending on the individual, the place where "gem meat" appears is also different.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to find it.

However, due to its rarity and value, it was not only used as the highest-level hospitality in ancient times, but also used as a "wedding ring" because of its shining appearance.

In terms of economic value, the price of gem meat is extremely high.

It is said that 100 grams can reach 5 million yuan, while ordinary parts also cost 150,000 yuan per 100 grams.

...

Of course.

For those who have gourmet cells.

Eating gem meat can not only improve the cell level, but also break through the wall of gourmet cells. It is simply a comeback artifact that can make the combat power explode after eating.

For example, before eating, Alu's limit of nail punch was 6 consecutive hits, and after eating, it was 10 consecutive hits, and the combat power increased by two-thirds.

Hmm!

Such an improvement ability can be said to be quite terrifying.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing 10 cream matsutake seeds, spending a total of 1,000 food coins, and there are 0 remaining food coins!"

Finally, Zhang Fan also used food coins to buy the seeds of the special ingredient cream matsutake in the food store.

Cream matsutake.

As the name suggests, it is actually matsutake with a creamy taste.

It is umbrella-shaped, bright in color, with a brown cap and a white stem, both with fibrous hair scales, white and tender flesh, fine texture, and a strong special aroma.

And this aroma is not the taste of matsutake, but a sweet creamy taste.

Yes!

Just like the milk banana last time.

Matsutake with a creamy taste is simply too rare.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire world of "Food Wars!

If this cream matsutake can be added with more honey, the taste will be even more irresistible.

...

No doubt.

In the world of "The Prisoner of Food".

Any kind of food can make people crazy, and the cream matsutake in front of them is even more so.

No matter how you think about cream and matsutake, you don't think that these two ingredients can be combined together.

However.

Zhang Fan bought cream matsutake.

It is matsutake with a creamy aroma, which can be said to be a magical combination of cream and matsutake.

Therefore, the shock brought by the appearance of cream matsutake is definitely not inferior to milk banana!

Not only that, cream matsutake, in addition to being the most dazzling and eye-catching in appearance, has a strong and tempting creamy aroma.

It is said that when you eat a dish, you should smell its fragrance first.

Obviously, the fragrance of cream matsutake is an interpretation of a concept of taste above taste.

"Ding Dong, 10 cream matsutake seeds."

"The planting has begun. It will be fully mature in 48 hours. Please don't forget to click to harvest it."

Finally, after placing all the cream matsutake in the planting space, Zhang Fan returned to his room with satisfaction and fell asleep! (End of this chapter)
