Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 102 The Taste of Hometown

night.

The stars are bright and the wind is gentle.

When Zhang Fan lit up the advertising sign outside the door, the izakaya began a new day of business.

Choose a fresh river eel, slaughter it on the spot, grill it until the surface of the fish is tightened, brush it with sauce, and finally put it on top of rice to become a bowl of fragrant eel rice!

Subsequently.

Just served.

The oil on the golden eel meat kept shining with an alluring luster.

It is spread neatly on white rice, with a layer of sauce hanging on the surface of the eel and rice. The whole bowl of eel rice is filled with the unique sophistication of Japanese cuisine!
Involuntarily, Tadokoro became excited and immediately divided the bowl of eel rice into three portions.

The first one is the original eel rice, and the second one is mixed with shredded seaweed, wasabi, chopped green onions, white sesame seeds, and sansho pepper, and mix well with the rice.

The last portion is made of soup stock made from eel offal, and then mixed with pickles to make "chazuke rice".

This way of eating is the so-called "three ways to eat eel" which is the most popular in Nagoya area.

……

"Awesome!"

"This eel is so plump and tender."

"Also, it always tastes slightly elastic."

“It has a rich aroma of oil in the mouth, without any fishy smell. In addition, the roasting is drier, and the skin is charred and crispy, which is very fragrant!”

"Although the rice plays a supporting role, it is steamed so that the grains are distinct and has a certain viscosity, allowing the special sauce to penetrate into the rice without taking away the flavor of the eel."

“Not only does it increase the chewiness in the mouth, but it also complements the plump and tender eel.”

As soon as she took a bite of eel rice and ate it, Tadokoro was instantly impressed by this local cuisine from Nagoya!

She has lived in a fishing port city since she was a child, so eel rice with local characteristics has always been her favorite dish.

"Shopkeeper, do you know?"

"When I was in the middle school, I joined the local cuisine research association within the school."

"Our association leader is best at making eel rice, a specialty of the Nagoya area. But in comparison, I feel that the eel rice you make has the most local flavor!"

Tian Suohui, who came back to his senses immediately, could not help but raise his head slightly and said in admiration.

"Ok!"

"Overrated."

Hearing this, Zhang Fan just smiled softly and replied lightly.

……

Poor performance.

Is it really because of low IQ?
In Zhang Fan's opinion, it depends on the situation. Some people are simply too lazy to learn.

And some people work very hard but still can't learn well. The latter may be pretending to work hard, or they may, like Tadokoro, slip up at a critical moment!
In fact, in the plot of the original work, Tanokoro's aura once overshadowed Nakiri Erina.

Especially during the residential training activities, she impressed senior seniors such as Dojima Gin and Miki Hinata with her gentle cooking.

It even made Shinomiya Kojiro completely wake up and understand that the reason why he was stagnant was that he was too eager for quick success and instant benefit and could no longer use his gentle side to cook!
of course.

The eldest daughter of the Nakiri family, who was born into a wealthy family.

It is the ceiling of Totsuki Academy's combat power, so no matter how hard Tasori works, it is naturally impossible to catch up.

However, she is different from Erina who cannot tolerate the slightest doubt from others.

There is actually something eye-catching about Tian Moshi’s cuisine, and that is:

She always considers the health of the diners as much as possible when cooking and cooking, and uses her gentleness to convey the value of cooking to everyone!
Therefore, Zhang Fan has always had deep pity for this cute, innocent, shy girl who dared to stand up and break through her limits at important moments! …

sauce.

Like a bond.

Let the rustic rice and gorgeous eel blend together perfectly.

The sauce of Neon Country Eel Famous Shop is made according to its own secret recipe, filtering out impurities and adding new ingredients day after day.

The sauce used in Zhang Fan's bowl of eel rice must have been secretly prepared by himself.

And the sauce he prepared can perfectly bring out the freshness of the eel and the fragrance of the rice.

This is different from the kind of industrial mass-produced sauce that is too sweet, too salty or too alcoholic, thus covering up the taste of the eel and rice itself!

In short.

This bowl of eel rice.

Gradually, Tian Suohui's memories of his hometown were brought back.

So in this mood, she started eating like crazy.

Until the end, she had eaten all three different portions of eel rice.

……

Food is so amazing.

The more we discover, the more delicious food we discover, and our expectations and curiosity about the world will increase.

A few years have passed, and Tadokoro has not been home for a long time, so the eel rice made by her mother can only be stored in her memory.

The only thing that is difficult to let go of is that her current performance in Totsuki Academy is very unsatisfactory.

Perhaps, I shouldn’t have chosen to come to Yuanyue in the first place.

Thinking about it, as long as she did not come to Totsuki Academy to study, her life in the past few years would be that she could have breakfast leisurely without being in a hurry; she could also sleep until she woke up naturally without worrying about her grades.

You can also stay with your mother all the time and run Zhuang Huiyuan with her.

It's just a choice in life. After all, there is no regret medicine. Now Tian Suohui can only accept it all openly!
"call!"

“It’s really satisfying.”

“It’s been a long, long time since I’ve tasted food from my hometown!”

Licking his mouth, he touched his slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Tadokoro, who was still not satisfied, finally couldn't help but sigh: "Shopkeeper, your eel rice, just the rice tastes soft and elastic, especially after absorbing the sauce, it doesn't rot and still maintains a bit of chewiness! "

“The quality of the rice is really great, and the softness and hardness of the steamed rice are just right.”

"Not only does it go well with eel, but even if I eat it alone with a mouthful of white rice without soup, I still feel it's delicious."

Seeing Tian Suohui who was so obsessed with his cooking, Zhang Fan didn't say anything.

He just turned around to make a cup of scented tea, placed it gently in front of her, and then asked: "Are you coming alone tonight? Where are your dorm mates, such as Yoshino Yuki, Sakaki Ryoko, Isshiki Hui, and so on?"

"The owner."

"I...I came here on my own."

"As you know, the first day of school is coming soon."

"Whether I can pass the assessment of the first class is still unknown!"

"So tonight, I just want to have a good meal of my favorite eel rice here at the izakaya, and then I plan to say goodbye to you, the owner."

Tadokoro was stunned for a moment, her voice a little helpless.
