Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

In a typical izakaya.

The wooden tables, chairs and various details exude a warm and nostalgic atmosphere!

On the wall, in addition to an old-fashioned wall clock, there are paintings, paper fans, etc., making people feel like they are in a small town in the classical era!

Most of the diners who come here come to drink immediately after ordering, and some only eat food without drinking because of Zhang's chef's cooking skills.

Then, when I am alone, I usually read silently on my mobile phone, comics, newspapers, and novels, and sometimes I talk to the shopkeeper!

As for.

Groups of diners.

Just drink and chat together!

As for Zhang Fan's izakaya, the best-selling item currently is barbecue, which is generally divided into two flavors: sauce flavor and salt flavor!

Sometimes, when diners order barbecue and are too lazy to choose between these two flavors, or want to try something else, they will say that the taste is left to Zhang Fan!

Therefore, in the izakaya, you can also find ketchup-flavored, mayonnaise-flavored barbecued meats, etc.!

Um!

all in all.

In such a rich selection of food and wine.

Every time diners come to the izakaya, they can enjoy a feast for their taste buds, and at the same time, they can also feel the unique charm brought by Zhang Fan's cuisine!

…

In fact.

For Zhang Fan who came from time to time.

On the first day, you can get acquainted with Kobayashi Gentian, and become neighbors with Mikuchichienka!

These two things that seemed to be coincidences, but were destined to happen, naturally made him realize that as a time traveler, he must not be separated from this world.

on the one hand.

The izakaya he runs.

As his cooking skills gradually gain recognition from people, many important figures will appear.

He even had a hunch that within half a year, this izakaya would be targeted by people from the WGO Food Organization.

On the other hand, Totsuki Academy's influence in the entire Neon Kingdom cuisine world is actually quite terrifying. Therefore, even though he is running an izakaya here, he will eventually come into contact with them!

but!

No matter what.

Zhang Fan actually doesn't want to go into this muddy water!

Just like Erina hopes that he can go to Totsuki Academy and find another career instead of staying in an izakaya!

However, in his eyes, he did not approve of Totsuki Academy's "survival of the fittest" education method. On the contrary, he felt a little disgusted!

Although after passing the layers of competition, those who stay will be elite-level chefs.

These chefs all have excellent cooking skills and unique skills, but no matter how powerful they are, they actually have their own weaknesses and problems!

Some people may have bad luck, or they may fail once or twice because of a certain shortcoming in themselves!

But just one failure will directly kill their future hopes and completely destroy their future!

Secondly, the entire academy is too focused on competition and winning or losing.

This will also cause many students to neglect other aspects of growth in order to achieve good results, and even aggravate various conflicts between students!

Even though there are relatively fair "Shiji" rules, efforts are made to reconcile and restrict the forces of all parties.

But in the end, all the conflicts and problems in the entire academy finally broke out when the top ten collectively defected and the commander-in-chief resigned sadly!

Therefore, Zhang Fan, who is familiar with the plot, will naturally not choose to develop in Totsuki Academy!

…

"Ding dong!"

"Host, successfully signed in once!"

"Ding dong!"

"For this sign-in, the host will get the recipe Wensi Tofu, the special recipe Shenglong Dumplings, and the ordinary kitchen utensil Chinese iron pot*1!"

After busy work.

The system's voice is finally loud again!

The sign-in rewards are similar to yesterday's. The first is this Chinese iron pot. This kind of iron pot is a unique pot in China.

The material is iron, which has high durability and corrosion resistance.

It’s also quite durable and can last for years or even decades if taken care of properly!

Um!

To put it mildly.

Even though people are gone, this iron pot may still be there.

Iron itself is a good thermal conductor, so its heat transfer performance is also very good.

During the cooking process, the iron pan can quickly transfer heat to the ingredients, making cooking more even and efficient. At the same time, it has strong applicability and can be used for stir-frying, stewing, boiling, roasting, frying and other cooking methods!

Of course.

The only drawback is that it's too heavy!

If you don’t have strong arm strength and wrist strength, and are not proficient in the skill of turning the pot, it will be difficult to stir-fry the ingredients!

…

Then, there is the Wensi Tofu recipe.

Although it feels weird to eat Wensi Tofu in an izakaya.

But in fact, Zhang Fan's izakaya has an unwritten rule, that is: diners can order any dish as long as they have ready-made ingredients or can cook it themselves!

So presumably for this reason, the business of the izakaya has been booming since its opening!

After all, the most important thing about an izakaya is casualness, which means freedom. If you don’t even have the dishes you want to eat, it will naturally ruin the interest of many diners!

As everyone knows.

There are eight major cuisines in Chinese cuisine, namely:

Sichuan food!

Shandong cuisine!

Huaiyang cuisine!

Cantonese food!

Zhejiang cuisine!

Fujian cuisine!

Hunan cuisine!

Anhui cuisine!

Among them, Huaiyang cuisine is the most particular about knife skills, especially its melon carvings, which are famous all over the world.

The most representative dish is Wensi Tofu, which can cut tofu as fine as hair!

According to legend, during the Qianlong period, there was a monk named Wensi who practiced in Tianning Temple in Yangzhou. Since there are many Buddhist laymen going to this temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, the supply of vegetarian food in the temple has become a problem.

So, he developed tofu that can be easily changed into dishes and formed a tofu vegetarian banquet.

One of them uses soft tofu as the main ingredient, and is served with tofu soup made from golden needles, fungus, green vegetables, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded mushrooms, etc.

It tastes good!

Delicious, sweet, and endless aftertaste!

At the same time, it looks very good in terms of appearance, so it attracts many faithful men and women to come to the temple to taste it!

Later one day, Emperor Qianlong went south to the south of the Yangtze River. When passing by Yangzhou, he heard that Tianning Temple was very beautiful, so he went to visit it.

As a result, he was very satisfied after tasting this dish, so he included it in the palace cuisine and renamed it "Wensi Tofu".

True.

There are thousands of dishes in the world.

But not every dish is easy, and you may not be able to make it just by following the recipe!

For example: this Wensi tofu dish, knife skills, heat, and seasoning are all technical tasks and require the guidance of a professional chef! Then you have to continue to accumulate experience, and you can finally learn it after long-term practice!

"Wensi Tofu?"

“It’s a pretty good Chinese dish!”

After muttering something to himself, Zhang Fan turned his attention back to that special recipe, Shenglong Dumplings!
