Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 103 That tenderness is the strongest weapon!

"how?"

"Are you so unsure of yourself?"

Seeing Tian Suohui who was already preparing for the worst, Zhang Fan could only help but laugh.

Obviously, he had given her all the answers to the test questions in advance. As long as she followed her own method, she would definitely pass the first class assessment smoothly!

As a result, she still behaved as disappointed as in the original work.

"Have confidence."

"Then...then we have to face reality!"

"I entered the higher education department with the last grade. Even if I didn't get kicked out of school in the first class, I was destined to be eliminated quickly in the future."

Having said this, Tazoe sighed deeply.

Afterwards, she hurriedly took a few sips of the cup of scented tea to relieve herself of some pressure.

……

"Tian Suohui."

"Even if you fail now, no one will question you!"

"At least in my heart, the path you are adhering to is absolutely correct."

"Whether it's bad luck or no one understands you, as long as you always maintain your sincerity and your love for cooking, I think no difficulty will ever faze you."

"indeed."

"In the fiercely competitive Totsuki Academy."

"It must be very difficult for a low-achieving person like you to break through your own mental barriers."

"And even if there is a breakthrough, there is still a long and bumpy road ahead."

"But for you, the most precious thing is not your appearance, nor your family background, nor your various strange personalities and talents, but the tenderness that overflows from your heart!"

"This thing may be your strongest weapon to gain a foothold in Yuanyue."

After looking at Tian Suohui, Zhang Fan couldn't help but say some philosophical words to enlighten her.

Everyone has his own life, some people are more tortuous, and some people are more stable.

Many things cannot be changed at the beginning.But as long as you persevere, maybe the choice you thought was wrong at the beginning will turn out to be right in the end.

Moreover, this kind of life experience that is different from others will be a valuable asset!

"really?"

"Shopkeeper, do you think someone like me is a loser?"

"As long as you work harder and persevere, will you achieve something?"

"Well, the person I like most is you!"

After hearing these words, Tian Suohui, who was in a daze, seemed to be inspired: "Shopkeeper, thank you for thinking so highly of me. I... I will not give up on myself, and I will definitely work hard until the end."

At this time, she still didn’t know how much impact the conversation between the two tonight would have on her entire life in the future!
One day in the future, when she successfully becomes the Ten Elites of Totsuki and begins to lead Totsuki Academy with Nakiri Erina, Yukihira Soma and many other geniuses, she will finally understand!
……

night.

The soft moonlight and the dots of stars made the night sky peaceful.

Later, some diners came to the izakaya one after another.

And among these diners, there are actually Kikuchi Sono from the Harugotei restaurant next door, and her friend Taki Kadozaki!
"Two!"

"What do you want to eat when you come to the izakaya?"

Seeing that it was the two of them, Zhang Fan greeted them warmly and asked.

"Taki!"

"What do you want to eat?"

Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo, who had just come in, couldn't help but have a faint blush on his face after seeing Zhang Fan.

Immediately, she quickly turned her head and asked Kadozaki Taki next to her.

“Can you make Valencian paella?”

Kadozaki Taki stared at Zhang Fan with his fierce gaze, but finally asked curiously.

"seafood rice?"

"You know a little bit, right?" "Okay, then let's have the Valencian paella for two people."

Kadozaki Taki responded without thinking.

"OK."

"You wait."

After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he went back to the cooking table and prepared to make Valencian paella!
……

When it comes to Spanish food.

Many people will blurt out: paella.

And if you are a beginner who knows a little bit of Spanish, it seems that no one can not speak La paella (paella).

Looking across the East and West, the formation of most delicacies can be attributed to the gathering and separation of ingredients.

There are many excellent dishes that are either amazing or regrettable, but only the Valencian paella has a rich exotic flavor and is unforgettable. Taste experience!
Although there is no historical data to prove it, where did Valencian paella come from?

But one thing that is certain is that Valencian paella was already very popular more than 200 years ago.

It was then that workers gathered at noon to mix the leftovers with rice and cook them over an open fire.

Therefore, in the original paella, there was no seafood in the ingredients.

Later, Valencians who loved to enjoy delicious food continued to develop risotto containing ingredients, such as vegetable risotto, fish risotto, paella, etc., with a wide variety of varieties.

Nowadays, with the development of the times, dishes using seafood as raw materials have become popular among many people.

Therefore, various hodgepodges of risotto gradually evolved into paella.

……

Squid.

Tiger shrimp.

White shrimp.

mussels.

Clam.

Small yellow croaker.

kelp.

Onions, ginger and garlic.

Red bell pepper.

Long green pepper.

There’s also short-grain rice, white wine, white onions, tomatoes, olive oil, saffron, parsley and more.

After preparing these ingredients, Zhang Fan took out a very large shallow pan.

The reason why this shape of pot is used is that the essence of paella is the layer of crispy rice on the bottom and wall of the pot.

Therefore, the pot wall should be short, the pot area should be large, and only a thin layer of rice should be spread, so as to produce the most rice crust as possible!

Then use a pair of kitchen scissors to scrape off the scales of the small yellow croaker, then dispose of the gills and internal organs.

Then use a slicing knife to make a "ten" on the fish head, peel off the scalp and throw it away.

Peel the tiger shrimps and white shrimps, remove the shrimp lines, keep the shrimp heads and shells, and clean the squid.

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add the mussels.

Pay attention not to exceed 15 seconds. A large amount of bubbles will bubble up and then fish out with a slight opening. Break off half of the shell and cut off the byssus in the soft body.The same goes for clams. Put them into boiling water, fish them out, and break off half of the shells.

Fry the small yellow croaker, put the pan on the stove, cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, pour the olives and add the small yellow croaker.

The medium heat is slightly lower, but the pot must be hot enough.

To make seafood soup, put the small yellow croaker and the freshly fried ingredients into the stew pot, add two pieces of kelp, pour in hot water, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat.

"I underestimated the owner of this izakaya."

“I didn’t expect that he could actually make such an unpopular Valencian paella with style!”

At this moment, looking at Zhang Fan who was busy, Kadozaki Taki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
