Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 126 Beichen Tianlang Blade appears, Nakiri Managi is shocked

Lucky Restaurant.

There is a concept that is difficult to detect in this lifetime.

Although with the appearance of Zhang Fan, the "butterfly effect" occurred in the entire original plot, such as the most typical example:
Erina Nakiri, who is supposed to be the examiner of transfer students, will have a clash of culinary ideas with Soma Yukihira.

In the end, this kind of thing was avoided because Kobayashi Ritsou took over as the assessor.

but!
Even if the two of them have no contact.

From Erina's perspective, maybe she would still disapprove of Soma's cooking and still hate his cooking.

For the time being, common people's cuisine can be considered as a reason for disgust.

But more importantly, their cooking concepts are fundamentally different, and even contradictory!

Maybe, for Erina.

An "ordinary" mapo tofu is worthless.

In recent years, at the Yukihira restaurant run by Joichiro and Soma, their dishes often do not have enough impact on diners.

Since its establishment, it has still not become famous in the entire culinary world. You can know that as the chef of Yukihira Restaurant, Joichiro Yukihira no longer pays attention to many amazing skills when it comes to cooking!
……

To be honest.

Back then, Joichiro Yukihira was definitely a more talented chef than Gin Dojima.

Now 10 Nakiri Erina combined are not enough for him to fight alone.

But why?

After running Yukihira Restaurant these years, the dishes he cooked gradually became "mediocre", and he seemed to only be able to cook common people's dishes.

The reason is not that he is deliberately keeping a low profile, nor that he has become stupid.

But he has understood that the most important thing about truly excellent cuisine is not the shocking power that makes it a blockbuster. On the contrary, it should be acceptable to all diners!

In Erina's eyes, cooking just needs to be done according to your own wishes.

After all, she is blessed with the power of God's Tongue, so she is confident that she can conquer and "capture" diners with her cooking.

This cooking concept that pursues self-expression is exactly what she wants to pursue most in her life.

But for Joichiro and Soma, the father and son duo, a dish must not only be done well, but also be "accepted to the greatest extent" by diners.

All in all.

The core plot of the entire "Spirit of the Halberd Eater" is actually the collision of two different concepts.

One is completely based on the self, while the other is based on the self, but also needs to accept other objects and change them...

This explains why Chuangzhen saw the shadow of his father in Zhang Fan after tasting Zhang Fan's cooking, and also felt the strong sense of oppression.

Just because the cooking philosophy he adheres to is exactly the same as his father!
……

"Creating truth."

"People's vision is always narrow-minded."

"I don't know who your father is, and I don't want to know why he put you in Yueyue?"

"But what I want to tell you is that when you look at your father, never forget that in this prosperous world, those chefs who stand at the top are always looking down at the entire world!"

"Perhaps as you said, there is nothing good in Totsuki, not as good as Yukihira Restaurant!"

"However, one day, you will find that some things and some characters are more interesting only after you have grown to a certain level and then come into contact with them!"

Isse Hui's words left Xinghei Soma stunned for a long time.

To be honest, he didn't have many ideals. He just wanted to practice his cooking skills with his father, inherit this small Yukihira restaurant, and finally marry a wife and have a few children.

This simple, peaceful and ordinary life is a kind of happiness to him.

So at this time, he couldn't understand Yisehui's teachings at all, and he couldn't agree with them.

"I spiked the food!"

This is a trick that Yukihira Soma is particularly good at using.

But to be fair, the fact that he was able to lose 498 games against Joichiro Yukihira and still persevere is enough to show his perseverance!
In a way, he is actually similar to Nakiri Alice.

They all want to challenge someone or a certain goal, and they won’t give up until they reach it.

……

"Senior, what level are you at now?"

After Yukihira Soma came back to his senses, he didn't show any expression on his face. He could only ask Isshiki Kei calmly.

"I?"

"The current seventh seat of the Ten Elites. I told you about it last time."

"Chongzhen, I'm not kidding you."

"With your current strength, it is absolutely impossible to shake the status of the top ten, so I advise you to give up this idea for the time being!"

Yise Hui mistakenly thought that Chuang Zhen wanted to challenge him again, so he couldn't help frowning, and then quickly picked up a cup of tea and wine and took a few sips.

"No, no, no, senior, I mean, what level are you at in the entire Neon Kingdom?"

puff!
This sentence.

He was so stunned that all the tea and wine in Yisekhui's mouth spurted out.

Then, he looked at Chuangzhen in astonishment and replied in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

"I haven't been able to gain a firm foothold in Yuanyue, but you still dare to ask me what my level is in Neon Country?"

"Let's put it this way, in the entire Neon Kingdom, I can definitely be considered the top level among students of the same age. But by all means, I am only at the third-rate level now. No, maybe not even the third-rate level..."

"What? Is it just a third-rate level?"

Hearing this, Soma was indeed a little surprised. He continued to ask: "So, where is the owner of this izakaya?"

"I don't know. We haven't figured out his abilities yet."

"The only thing that's certain is that the dishes he cooks are definitely the most delicious and the most convincing that we have ever seen in our lives!"

Isekhui did not directly define Zhang Fan's level in front of Xingping Chuangzhen.

Instead, he uses two "most" modifying words to describe his power in disguise.

"is it?"

Chuangzhen was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he murmured to himself: "I really want to know who is better than him or dad?"

……

knowledge of a thing.

Without breadth, it is easy to draw short-sighted conclusions due to your own limitations.

Although Soma is following Joichiro, his cooking skills are deeply influenced by him, far beyond those of his peers.

However, because he has been hiding in Yukihira's restaurant for a long time, his vision is not very broad. This can be known from the plot of the original work, where he often "collapses" himself from the beginning.

Of course, as the "protagonist", he also has his own halo!

Joichiro once commented that Soma's talent was mediocre. Indeed, he did not have Erina's God's Tongue or Hayama Ryo's God's Smell.

But the absence of these superpowers does not mean the absence of other talents, such as:
He has a particularly strong ability to adapt.

And this ability also allows him to always avert danger every time he reaches a critical moment!

Ah!
simply put.

If you don't pay attention to theoretical knowledge and only pay attention to practice.Someone like Souma Yukihira might become a "god of study" who surpasses the top academics.

……

At night, the air is slightly fresh and moist.

Taking a deep breath, it seems that you can still feel the peace and tranquility that only exists at night.

While the boarders at Jokusei Residence, as well as diners such as Kobayashi Ritsou and others, were eating and drinking in the izakaya, on the other side was the WGO Food Organization, the Neon Country branch!

At this time, in a clean and tidy bedroom.

On the fragrant bed, there was a beautiful mature woman lying.

Whether it is the silk pajamas made of light material or the temperament between her eyebrows, it is enough to illustrate the noble status of this mature woman.

However, her pretty face was so red that it was almost bleeding.

"call!"

"Uh...uh uh...ah..."

Taking a closer look, she was lying on the bed and her breathing became more rapid, and her whole body felt hotter and hotter.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, she could only quickly unbutton one or two buttons on her pajamas, revealing her skin as white as snow underneath.

Then, her hazy eyes shone with intoxicating light, and finally she bit her pink lips with her teeth, resisting the inexplicable feeling.

"Annie!"

"Still...not okay yet?"

"Hurry up... hurry up... I... I really can't hold it anymore!"

Her voice was weak, presumably due to malnutrition caused by not eating for several days.

"I'm coming."

"Samagi-sama, I will give you an injection right now."

Just when Nakiri Shinagi gradually lost consciousness, a burst of hurried footsteps began to approach gradually.

Finally, Secretary Anne finally brought the medicine kit.

Then she picked up a bottle of imported nutrient solution and injected it into her body skillfully.

With each drop of nutrient solution, it began to travel anywhere in the body along with the blood in the body. As if the originally weak Managi had regained his vitality, he climbed out of bed full of "vitality".

"It's really good!"

"Sure enough, only when the body is at its weakest, it feels best to take some imported nutrient solution."

After closing his eyes deeply, and feeling that his physical strength was rapidly recovering and his whole body was full of strength, Nakiri Shinagi said with great satisfaction.

After that, wait until the effects of the nutrient solution wear off.

She slowly opened her eyes, sighed and said, "Oh! I thought I could last longer, but it turns out that I haven't been to an izakaya for a few days, and my health is actually failing again."

"Even God's Tongue has become impetuous. He wants to...want to taste Zhang Fan's Comet Fried Rice and Liebing Fresh Sea Bream Mountain!"

It can be seen at this time that Nakiri Shinagi is already missing Zhang Fan and the cooking he made.

Especially when she thought about the last time she was in the izakaya, she had a huge appetite and ate three whole plates of strong chilled sea bream in a row, making her whole belly bulge.

And that unprecedented feeling of fullness, that feeling that she still remembers in retrospect, simply made her... go crazy!

"Master Nagi."

"That's the case, then let's go to an izakaya tonight?"

In the end, perhaps seeing some of Nakiri Shinagi's thoughts, Anne couldn't help but ask wisely.

"go with!"

"Going right now!"

"Okay, Master Shingi, I will make arrangements right away."

After that, Annie withdrew.

……

“The tea leaves are soaked in hot water and then filtered to obtain a strong tea juice.”

"Then, mix the strong tea juice and solid French wine with white sugar, citric acid, honey, etc. You can also get tea wine!"

At the izakaya, Zhang Fan told Ryoko Sakaki about another method of brewing tea wine.

"Shopkeeper, this method of extraction."

"Compared with traditional fermentation methods, how will the effect be?"

Ryoko Sakaki pondered for a while, and finally looked at Zhang Fan with a look that seemed a bit expectant.

“When making this kind of tea wine through extraction, problems such as unclearness, turbidity, loss of luster, and lack of tea color and aroma often occur.”

"At the same time, the extraction time and the temperature of the tea are also issues that should be paid attention to."

"If the time is too long and the temperature is too high, the tea liquid will become more turbid and even rancid. If the time is too short, the aroma and color of the tea will not be fully extracted."

Zhang Fan explained.

And here, Ryoko Sakaki raised her head as she listened, but her eyes accidentally collided with his.

She couldn't help but feel a little excited and hurriedly lowered her head.

……

The atmosphere inevitably seemed inexplicably awkward.

But at this moment, two regular customers finally came to the izakaya. With the help of Annie, Nakiri Managi came to the izakaya.

She has a long eyebrow and a skin like ice and snow. Her facial features may not be as delicate as those of her daughter Erina, but they have a unique flavor, especially the mature charm between her eyebrows, which is very lethal.

Whoosh!
A cold breeze.

Suddenly, the dining environment inside the izakaya began to blow.

This sudden vision made the residents present at the Jisei dormitory such as Isshiki Hui, Yukihira Souma and others, as well as Kobayashi Ringtong and others, all aware of the danger.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant became extremely cold!
And everyone eating here felt more and more depressed. Even the timid Tian Suohui was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his face turned a little pale!

"Who is this person..."

A drop of sweat slowly slid down Isehui's cheek.

Emotions of nervousness, fear, and uneasiness arose in his heart, causing him to only murmur in a low voice.

"Rare visitors, aren't these Nakiri Shingi and Annie?"

Seeing that it was the two of them, Zhang Fan quickly showed a faint smile and took the initiative to say hello.

"Zhang Fan, hurry up, hurry up... I want to eat strong chilled sea bream!"

The moment she saw Zhang Fan, Nakiri Shinagi restrained her terrifying aura and held Zhang Fan's hand instead, blinking her eyes and her tone was full of pleading.

"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to try the power of that kitchen knife, so do as you wish."

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then gently shook off his hand and turned back to the cooking table.

Then, after preparing the snapper ingredients, he took out the Beichen Sirius Blade.However, the moment the knife was taken out, Nakiri Shinagi's eyes couldn't help but flash, as if he felt something.

"what?"

"This knife..."
