Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

Cooking!

Can express feelings.

It can also warm someone’s life!

Despite possessing the God's Tongue, Shinagi Nakiri was a student.

In fact, what I like to do most is to immerse myself in the atmosphere of appetizers, soups, side dishes, main dishes and red wine alone in a high-end restaurant, and taste the chef's intentions with all my heart.

When she has time, she will go shopping for a while. If she feels hungry again, she will eat her favorite fried food, wontons and barbecue from the restaurants she is familiar with.

I can tell.

Unlike my daughter who despises common people’s food.

When Nakiri Shinagi was young, she would not have felt that those mediocre shops would make her lose her identity.

On the contrary, the smell of human fireworks made her feel another kind of happiness!

It's just that this feeling may never happen again.

Nowadays, even the most exquisite caviar cannot taste delicious to her.

So how could the shops and places in these food streets be so discerning to her?

…

"I think about it a lot."

"In time, a dish that I like will appear. So what will it be like?"

“Japanese style wagyu?”

"Australian lobster?"

"Korean ginseng?"

"Bluefin tuna?"

“Or Iberico ham or caviar?”

"These represent rare ingredients in the world, but I have never really liked them."

"So I always think that what can completely impress me must be a super dish full of the essence of various ingredients!"

"However, I didn't expect that the dish that would conquer God's Tongue in the end would be a vegetable fried rice composed of spinach, green vegetables and rice."

Having said this, Nakiri Shinagi completely came to his senses.

The originally aloof and pretty face suddenly showed a look of respect when it looked at Zhang Fan.

Obviously, she was finally impressed by Zhang Fan's talent and cooking.

After that, she stood up quickly, bowed to Zhang Fan, and said softly: "Zhang Fan, thank you!"

"It's your cooking that gave me hope again in the darkest moment of my life."

…

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Great, really great!"

"I...I...wuwuwu...I really don't know how to help you...wuwuwu..."

Next to him, he saw Shinagi who had regained his energy.

Annie couldn't help but cover her mouth slightly with her hands and cried.

Managi hurriedly turned to look at Annie who was crying, and her eyes suddenly filled with mist.

Looking back on these years, when she was most helpless in her life, the only person who stayed by her side was always this loyal secretary, so her heart also felt a little hot.

"Annie, you have worked hard these years!"

In the end, she could only raise her hand slightly, pat Annie's shoulder, and said softly.

When Annie heard this, she immediately shook her head, raised her tears and said firmly: "It's not bitter, compared to the pain you have endured in your life, Master Shingi, what are my efforts and hardships?"

"What's more, without your support and guidance, how could I have become the first-class executive officer of WGO with my own stupid qualifications?"

"So for you, I am willing to die."

"Annie, I should be the one thanking you!"

Taking a deep look at Annie, Nakiri Shinagi was filled with relief.

…

Strong.

Wherever he goes, he is respected.

Especially in this era of cooking where “food is paramount”.

A chef like Zhang Fan, who is young and has superb cooking skills, can even win the respect of Managi Nakiri!

After all, she could create a dish that conquered God's Tongue with just a few ordinary ingredients. She had to be convinced by this courage and ability alone.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that in the future, there may not be any chefs like Zhang Fan in the entire world!

And having the ability of God's Tongue, I will be destined to be unable to leave Zhang Fan's cooking in the future.

"Since I left the Nakiri family."

"In the past ten years, I have been traveling around the world, constantly searching for various cuisines and delicacies."

“I also met many talented chefs along the way.”

"Their cuisine is not lacking in excellence, nor is it lacking in creativity that makes my eyes shine."

"But for some reason, no matter how hard they try, they can't conquer God's Tongue with cooking, and they can't gain my approval."

“The food they make is hard for me to swallow every time.”

"maybe."

"The whole culinary world right now."

"For any chef, I, Managi Nakiri, am the insurmountable wall."

"It's just that this high wall was broken by a dish of fried rice here at the izakaya tonight."

"So in a sense, Zhang Fan, you are what I consider to be the strongest chef in the world, bar none!"

After venting his feelings for many years with Annie, Nakiri Shinagi once again set his sights on Zhang Fan, and then truthfully spoke out his inner thoughts.

"ah?"

"The world...the strongest in the world?"

Annie, wipe your tears.

After hearing that Nakiri Shina had such a high opinion of Zhang Fan, she couldn't help but be surprised again.

You must know that three-star restaurants are updated every year in "THE·BOOK", and the chefs of these three-star restaurants basically represent the top combat power in the world!

And among these chefs, none of them can be recognized by Nakiri Shinagi!

As a result, Zhang Fan was able to win the title of "The Strongest in the World" from Nakiri Managi with just one serving of Comet Fried Rice?

Anne couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if she was dreaming of a very ethereal dream.

But this dream... is still too real after all!

…

"well!"

"It's just a shame."

"I can't eat this fried rice dish every day."

"Otherwise, one day I will be disgusted by the taste of God's tongue again just like before!"

Although Zhang Fan's cooking has reached a level that even God's Tongue has never reached.

But God's Tongue will also evolve. When one day in the future it grows enough to adapt to the taste of Comet Fried Rice, then she, Shinagi, will still be unable to escape the fate of dying on a hunger strike.

But to be honest, this result already made her feel quite satisfied.

After all, for a dying person, she really has no regrets if she can taste a favorite dish again before she dies!

And, just think of those chefs whose goal was to conquer the God’s Tongue.

In the end, it was because his cooking skills could not keep up with the speed of the evolution of God's Tongue, and his mentality completely collapsed. There are even some people who have never been able to return to the kitchen because of this psychological shadow.

Therefore, Nakiri Shinagi was very scared in her heart, and at the same time she did not want Zhang Fan to fall into their fate.
