Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 133 The Top Dessert Cuisine

This talk.

Alice, I can't stop talking!

Although she had only been to an izakaya with Erina, she emphasized Zhang Fan's wisdom in front of her mother again and again when talking about the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs there!
And listening to such vivid narration, Leonora Nakiri looked extremely calm.

I think this mysterious man is handsome, has a gentle personality, and can work both in the hall and in the kitchen.

If such a perfect man really existed, not to mention Alice, maybe even she would be tempted by it!

"You always say that he is very strong, so what did you learn from his cooking?"

Finally, Leonora wiped her long, flowing hair with a towel and asked her daughter in the video.

"Learn what?"

When Alice heard this, she couldn't help but think seriously.

"If you don't have a spray gun and a thermometer, you may not be able to make a delicious steak; if you don't put too much sugar, it will be difficult to shape the cookies..."

"But these problems in traditional cuisine can be solved by scientific means in the field of molecular cuisine."

"However, after witnessing Zhang Fan's cooking, I realized how naive this idea is!"

"Without a casserole, even if he only uses an ordinary iron pot, he can use various cooking methods to process various ingredients and make various delicious dishes."

"I think a truly qualified and excellent chef should be able to create perfect dishes under limited conditions."

Hearing this, Leonora's face changed drastically, and her blood-red eyes were suddenly filled with disbelief.

……

In psychology, there is a famous effect called the "Dak Effect".

It shows that people with poorer cognitive abilities tend to be more confident in their own perceptions.

It is precisely because of her extraordinary achievements in the field of molecular cuisine when she was young that Alice became very confident and had a large cognitive bias in treating traditional cuisine.

It would be impossible for Leonora to correct this deviation for a while!

As a result, Alice had only been to Totsuki for a few days and had just gone to the mysterious izakaya, which suddenly "upgraded" her knowledge.

You must know that when your self-confidence is at an all-time high and you suddenly upgrade your cognition, your self-confidence will begin to decline.

Because some new concepts will conflict with original cognition, gradually, you will begin to doubt life.But after the low self-confidence, the new three outlooks gradually stabilized, and confidence was regained.

"It can make a stubborn person like you change the concept that you originally insisted on."

"That shopkeeper Zhang is obviously worthy of his reputation!"

Leonora sighed.

"That's right." Alice immediately beamed with pride.

Looking at her like this, it seemed that Zhang Fan was so "honorable" if she could get her mother's approval.

Then she thought of something else and continued hurriedly: "By the way, Zhang Fan also makes a dish that can fly into the sky. It's called Shenglong Dumplings!"

"Even Erina was shocked by that dish. For a while, she often secretly learned how to make it in the kitchen."

"Erina?"

"She... is she okay?"

Leonora Nakiri was startled when she heard this.

Her thoughts suddenly drifted back to more than 10 years ago.

At that time, Erina looked like just a "little loli" with an innocent appearance.

But after witnessing with her own eyes the pain caused by Shinagi Nakiri being cursed by God's Tongue, she also understood that her niece would probably suffer such a tragic fate in the future!

But in this matter, even the commander-in-chief felt helpless, let alone her?

Because she has been living with Alice in Northern Europe these years, Leonora doesn't know much about Erina's deeds.

Perhaps her divine tongue has begun to hate cooking?
"Her? Don't mention it!"

"As arrogant as before, always looking down on me!" When talking about Erina, Alice looked disdainful.

Especially when she thought that she had just defeated Hakuin Keihe and brought down the Dessert Cuisine Research Association.

Soon, Erina unexpectedly picked up the powerful Sumo Hotpot Cuisine Research Association to hold a Shokugeki competition.

And her methods were even more ruthless than hers. After winning the game, she called in the entire demolition team and bulldozed the entire building.

This kind of behavior is completely provocative in her eyes!
"Ha ha!"

"Your relationship is still as good as ever~"

Seeing Alice's expression, Leonora Nakiri couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Who...who is good with her?"

Alice, denied.

Under the long night, the mother and daughter talked on the phone for more than two hours, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious!

……

Although time cannot take away everything, it can always leave a trace.

Just when Mito Yumei was enlightened and moved by the fried beef with green onions, some diners came to the izakaya one after another.

Among them, what surprised Zhang Fan was the arrival of Akane Kubomomo again.

"Hey!"

"Is this an izakaya?"

Akane Kubo holding a stuffed bear "Butch".

When I entered the izakaya alone, I was inevitably startled by the unfamiliar dining environment in front of me!
After all, since the last time she came to the izakaya with Kobayashi Ryodan, she has never visited it again.Therefore, she was naturally surprised when faced with the newly upgraded and renovated izakaya!

"Peach!"

"Are you alone? Where is Xiaolin?"

Seeing that it was her, Zhang Fan inevitably went up to her and greeted her.

"School has just started recently, and many students are competing for territory and expanding their power."

"I heard that there will be a Shokugeki duel match a long time ago, so Kobayashi Ryuten is busy contacting the Shokugeki Management Bureau and jointly responsible for the normal operation of the Shokugeki match!"

Akane Kubo looked at Zhang Fan with admiring eyes, and then whispered softly.

"Tomorrow morning?" Zhang Fan frowned.

He turned to look at Mito Yumei and couldn't help but understand!
"Shopkeeper Zhang, thank you very much for the soufflé dessert issue last time."

"I...I...came to the izakaya this time, actually, for the dessert, and it is a kind of Sabayon dessert that few people make."

"Can you...do it?"

The tone of her words at this time was a little nervous, but also a little expectant!
"Uh..." Zhang Fan was stunned, staring at her closely.

Akane Kubotao became even more nervous when she saw Zhang Fan's eyes that were much more serious than usual: "No...can't you do it?"

"Did you encounter any difficulties in the process of developing Sabayong dessert?"

Zhang Fan, who saw through her little thoughts, said angrily: "The making of Sabayong dessert is actually not difficult."

"The main thing is that I need a kind of sweet wine. Fortunately, here in the izakaya, sweet wine is available, but I'm afraid that if I use it to make Sabayon dessert, the effect may not be very good!" "It doesn't matter, I believe in your ability, you will be able to create it. The most perfect Sabayon dessert!”

Akanekubo Momo blinked her big misty eyes, showing her cute "little loli" qualities in front of Zhang Fan.

"You've said so, so let me do it for now."

Zhang Fan, who had no resistance to Lolita, could only respond gently in the end.

……

French gourmet Bria Savarin wrote in "The Philosopher in the Kitchen": The discovery of a new dish is more beneficial to human happiness than the discovery of a new star.

However, they say that food and beautiful scenery are the only things you should not let down when traveling.

The beautiful scenery is true, but the delicious food... sometimes it is a surprise, sometimes it is a shock.

egg!

Caster sugar!
High-gluten flour!

almond!

Rum liqueur!

butter!

After preparing these simple ingredients, Zhang Fan asked Akane Kubomo: "Do you want cherry flavor? Or strawberry flavor?"

"Strawberry!" Akanekubo Momo replied without thinking.

Zhang Fan stopped answering after hearing this.

Instead, use a kitchen knife to cut some fresh strawberries into moderate sizes and place them on a heat-resistant disk.

Then melt the butter and chocolate in a steamer, and then separate the yolks and whites of the eggs.

Add rum liqueur and sugar to the egg yolks and stir evenly.

After boiling the water in the soup pot, lower the heat. Put the bowl containing the egg yolks into the pot and stir continuously. During this process, be careful not to make the heat too high.

When the egg yolk becomes thick, take it out quickly.

Cut the banana and mango into pieces, put them in a pudding bowl, pour the mayonnaise on them, and sprinkle some coconut milk.

Finally, preheat the oven to 230°C and bake the Sabayon dessert for 5 minutes.

"Done, this is the Sabayon dessert you wanted!"

When the finished product appeared in front of Akanekubo Momo, she covered her mouth and said in surprise: "It's so fast, it seems like it hasn't even lasted 15 minutes!"

……

In fact, with the advent of the fast food era, many restaurants are constantly optimizing the speed of meal delivery.

This is because if the restaurant's serving speed is too slow, the table turnover rate will not be high enough.

In short, diners come hungry, and as a result they are made to wait too long. This situation will inevitably affect the reputation of the entire restaurant.

After the upgrade, the business of the izakaya is definitely getting more and more popular, and it is hosting more and more diners every day.

Therefore, Zhang Fan always starts preparing various ingredients and seasonings early in the morning, and even does thorough cleaning and other tasks in advance.

When the business opens in the evening, he will feel much more relaxed every time he handles the ingredients in front of the cooking table.

In addition, his cooking skills are already very strong. No matter what kind of cooking he is, he will finish it very quickly, and there is never any sign of procrastination.

In short, practice makes perfect.

His cooking speed is so fast that no one can compare with him.

This is also the reason why he can rely on his own strength to support the normal operation of this izakaya.

Of course, the main reason is that he believes that if you make diners wait too long, it is a sign of laziness on the part of the chef!
And if a dish takes too long and usually takes more than an hour to complete, Zhang Fan will explain it to the diners in advance to keep them waiting!

"Sabayon dessert is extremely simple to make."

“Just heat the egg yolks, sugar and wine over water and whisk quickly to create a foamy, rich-tasting sauce, then pour it on top of the fruit.”

Zhang Fan glanced at Akane Kubotao and said calmly.

"Of course I know, but if I want to completely make the finished product, it will take at least 20 minutes based on my ability. You...you are 5 minutes faster than me." As the fourth seat of the top ten, Akane Kubo Momo has this common sense I understand.

"Haha, it's just a matter of 5 minutes!"

After listening to these words, Zhang Fan inadvertently touched the tip of his nose and said with a smile.

……

In home baking, it is a common operation to separate the egg whites and egg yolks and add sugar and beat them separately.

However, by adding a little liquid while it is being heated, the egg yolk can be beaten to 4 times its original volume, and it is stable. This is the recipe for making sabayon sauce!
In fact, it is difficult for people to accurately define Sabayon.

Spread it and fruits all over the bottom of the bowl, pour the sauce on it, and it will transform into an exquisite dessert like what Zhang Fan made!
Pour it into a cup, cut a piece of butter and put it on it. After it slowly melts, it becomes a heart-warming hot drink.

This hot drink practice was recorded in Italy in the late 15th century, which shows that Sabayon has a history of at least 500 years.

At that time, people believed that the wine in Sabayon had a refreshing and stimulating effect, so it was often given to patients.

In addition, there is a recipe for using water instead of wine for pregnant women to enjoy.

"Eat it quickly. The sauce will melt slowly later, but it will affect the taste." Finally, Zhang Fan said as he reached out to touch Akane Kubomo's forehead.

"Ok!"

"Then I'm welcome."

Akane Kubomomo had her forehead touched for the first time.

This feeling actually made her feel not disgusted, and then she nodded with a slightly red face.

Then, she picked up the small spoon and gently took a small mouthful of Sabayong dessert.

……

"How...how could it be like this?"

Unexpectedly, he dug a big hole with a spoon, and the whole scene inside the Sabayon dessert immediately surprised Akane Kubomomo!
Sabayon is a typical European palace dessert with extremely simple preparation and ingredients.

But to her surprise, the ingredients used in Zhang Fan's Sabayong dessert dish were even simpler to the extreme. It seemed that there were less than 7 ingredients in total.

Afterwards, she slowly calmed down and stopped thinking about it. She quickly opened her mouth and began to taste it with a groan.

sweet!
Really sweet!

Along with it, there are three tastes: cold, hot and fresh!

A touch of buttery flavor, a touch of liqueur, the delicateness between being tipsy and cold, blending together to the extreme.

It is really hard to imagine that using only a few raw materials can push "sweetness" and the various intricate experiences that sweetness can evoke to a terrifying state!

If you taste it carefully, you can also find that this dessert dish contains the bitterness of coffee, the alcohol of liqueur, the moistness of eggs and sugar, and the rich fragrance of chocolate...

There’s also the rich aroma of cheese and fresh cream!
All the complex flavors are finally covered on the strawberry.

Then, even the slightly roasted aroma bursts out in your mouth.

"No no no!"

"Is this... Shopkeeper Zhang's dessert dish?"
