Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 138 He is a very good chef!
Whoosh!
a ray of light.

From this bowl of noodles, non-noodle dishes emerge in a flash.

It is said that if it is rare, it is strange, but if it is seen often, it is not strange. To this phenomenon of food glowing, the two girls Erina and Hiisako have a certain immunity.

In reality, there are actually fish noodles, for example:
Macheng fish noodles!

Lianjiang fish noodles!

Yangjiang fish noodles!

Chaoshan fish noodles!

Changshou Lake Fish Noodles!
Shunde fish noodles!

……

Among them, the most special thing about Shunde fish noodles is that "it doesn't add a little bit of flour."

This dish uses silver carp that is suitable for all seasons, thus ensuring that the raw materials for making fish noodles are available all year round.

Then, only the fish spines on both sides of the back of the fish are used, because the meat in this part is the most tender, and the fish noodles made have a better taste.

The remaining fish bones will not be wasted.

It is best used to make fish soup and noodles, which tastes more sweet and delicious.

Because of the complexity of the method, there is a saying that "it takes five pounds of fresh fish to get a bowl of fish noodles."

Of course, this kind of fish is not fish, it is a noodle dish. It is very similar to the bowl of noodle made with catfish, squid and sea bream in front of Zhang Fan!

At this time, the light in this bowl of noodles faded away.

The most drool-worthy "freshness" is the mellow white fish soup.

Just looking at it can make you want to eat more.

Smell it gently, and there is a rich and tangy umami smell.

Then, Erina used chopsticks to gently cut off a piece of "fish noodles", but she could see that there was an even smaller squid core in the center of the fish noodles.

Recalling that each noodle made from catfish had to be filled with squid core, she felt a little admired.

After all, Zhang Fan always takes every detail seriously in order to make perfect dishes.

For ordinary people, faced with such a heavy workload, if they did not maintain their love for cooking, they would probably collapse!

……

Suck, suck, suck!

Suck, suck, suck!

Afterwards, Erina stopped thinking about it and quickly ate the bowl of noodles.

Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
As soon as you enter your mouth, each noodle breaks instantly in your mouth.

That kind of strong elasticity seemed to bounce off Erina's teeth, as if it was about to escape from Erina's mouth.

"Ok?"

"This...this resilience..."

Involuntarily, Erina was a little confused.

Even though she possesses the talent of God's Tongue, she was unable to peek into the inner essence of this faceless texture for a while!

So, she swallowed and continued to pick up a few noodles and put them in her mouth.

As for the eating appearance, he is still very elegant. While trying not to make any noise, he uses the tongue of God to taste it carefully.

It should be said that when she saw Zhang Fan making noodles with catfish meat, Erina could think of a question, and that was:
Nice idea.

However, unlike noodles made directly from flour, catfish meat lacks the chewy texture and elasticity it should have.

……

"why?"

"Catfish meat is really firm and elastic."

"But after being simmered at high temperature, the meat will definitely become soft and will lack the chewy texture of traditional noodles. However, Zhang Fan's bowl of noodles is not noodles..."

After chewing, Nakiri Erina couldn't help but think.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and her face immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I see."

"I was so focused on the catfish that I ignored the squid core inside."

"A whole pasta dish, two-flavor noodles composed of catfish and squid, paired with sea bream soup and sea bream rolls..."

"what?"

"These ingredients are all seafood and fish products."

"It seems that this bowl of noodles is not just noodles, but an authentic seafood noodles."

Erina, the more she analyzed it, the more shocked she became.

There is no doubt that this kind of cuisine is absolutely unprecedented in her mind.

Even though this bowl of noodles is not noodles, the connotation and creativity contained in it are not inferior to the previous reincarnation spring rolls and Shenglong dumplings!
……

The light protein, when combined with the catfish, highlights the refreshing taste.

Noodles!
Its essence is the taste of grains.

In the process of making this bowl of noodles, rice wine is also added as the base flavor.

In this way, the taste of catfish noodles is not much different from noodles made from flour.

Of course, what plays a key role is the fish flavor.

The so-called fish fragrance is actually the fragrance of fish sauce.

In China, this is a very ancient traditional seasoning.

The earliest traceable written record is "Qi Min Yao Shu" written by the agriculturist Jia Sixie in the late Northern Wei Dynasty more than 1400 years ago.

The general method is to remove the fish scales and internal organs from the raw fish, then marinate it with salt, and remove the juice produced by the fermentation of the fish meat.

"No no no!"

"I will never...never let you all escape."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Erina, who was so full of food, bit harder.

"tasty!"

“Really delicious!”

"The chewy catfish noodles have an unusually strong seafood flavor that lingers in your mouth."

"As for the fish sauce, it contains ingredients such as ginger and pickled peppers that can remove the smell of catfish, making the whole noodle dish more fragrant and fresh!"

"In short, the whole bowl of noodles is non-noodle, and you really can't tell that flour is used at all."

“But it tastes like a real bowl of seafood noodles!”

After saying this, Erina slowly closed her eyes.

I just felt the faint fragrance sweeping through the air, constantly hitting my nose.

The rich, juicy, and mellow sea bream soup has a unique sweetness in its salty aroma.

The catfish noodles stuffed with squid cores, after absorbing enough of the rich noodle soup, are chewy and delicious, and captured Erina's heart in an instant!
At first, Erina ate slowly and did not dare to gobble it up.

Gradually, she no longer restrained herself, and actually put it into her mouth in big mouthfuls.

For some reason, as soon as her lips touched the catfish noodles, the taste that slipped between her lips and teeth almost drove her crazy every time.

This "fresh" flavor permeated with various seafood ingredients is simply...

Cool!
……

noodle!
What is the most important thing?
On this question, Nakiri Erina will definitely answer like this:
It’s the chewiness and elasticity that can be felt immediately after taking a sip of noodles; it’s the feeling that the noodles want to slip away quietly and have to chew hard with their teeth!

Even so, with the current ability of God’s Tongue.

She still couldn't take a closer look at Zhang Fan's bowl of noodles.

However, the wonderful experience of the competing noodles and each one popping in her mouth is something she will never forget every time she thinks about it!

Gradually, Nakiri Erina began to enter a wonderful fantasy.

Wearing a tight-fitting diving suit, she could be seen swimming happily in the cold sea, sometimes swimming to the east, and sometimes swimming to the west.

The sea water is deep and shallow, and there is a group of sea bream, "the crown of all sea fish", but they suddenly come around Erina.

This group of snappers have lively and cute personalities. They come in many colors, including red, pink, yellow, and even zebra stripes. They are particularly beautiful!yes!

A full field of color.

Flawless, transparent, pure and quiet, it is enough to melt your restless heart!
Maybe, for Erina.

Only any of Zhang Fan's dishes can give her such a broad view like the sea, and a joyful mood like these snappers!

……

"Gone?"

"Did I eat them all?"

Later, when she came back to her senses, she saw that the entire bowl of noodles in front of her had been eaten cleanly, and there was not even a single noodle left.

No, look closely, there is still a drop of soup.

Seeing this, Erina's eyes lit up involuntarily.

She couldn't wait to continue to pick up the bowl, bring it to her mouth and shake it gently, trying hard to let the drop of soup in the bowl slowly drip into her mouth.

In the end, he licked his mouth and seemed to still have more to say.

And with such a look, Fei Shasha next to him was almost stunned!
If all Totsuki students knew that the goddess in their minds was like a dog, sticking out her tongue to lick a drop of soup in the bowl, I'm afraid they would all be shocked.

"Zhang Fan, one bowl of noodles is not enough. Can... can you have another one?"

Afterwards, Erina regained her composure for a moment, with a faint blush rising on her face.

Her watery eyes looked deeply at Zhang Fan, seeming a little expectant and a little nervous.

"Okay, just wait a moment."

Zhang Fan didn't say much, but nodded and continued working.

……

Meanwhile, at the Chunguoting restaurant next door.

If just now, Hisako ignored Erina's obstruction and insisted on going to the alley, then the mother and daughter of Shinagi and Erina would reunite unexpectedly.

But fate is like this, sometimes it will sneak away when you don't care.

As the proprietress of this Western-style restaurant, Kikuchi just stared at Managi and Annie blankly. She probably couldn't turn her head around at this moment.

After all, it was closed, so why would these executives suddenly come to her Spring Fruit Pavilion?
Nakiri Shinagi, who had just arrived, was observing with interest.

Finally, she looked at Mu Jiuzhi critically, and then nodded with satisfaction after a while.

This woman left a pretty good impression on her.

She is not tall in stature, but her development is quite good. She is also very beautiful and pure.

"I heard from Annie that you were a former graduate of Yuanyue?"

Nakiri Shinagi asked.

"Yes, this executive officer, my name is Mujiuzhi Yuanguo, and I was once... the second seat of the 89th Yuanyue Ten Elites!"

Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo said in a hesitant manner.

"The last time you attacked a two-star restaurant, you failed to pass Annie's review?"

Shinagi gently shook the folding fan in his hand, exuding a sense of majesty all over his body.

……

As the saying goes:
Hurting others does not hurt face, exposing others does not expose shortcomings!
This scene of having his scars exposed in public made Mu Jiuzhi look very embarrassed for a while.

In the end, she forced herself to calm down and simply nodded.

"I don't know if you are..."

Then, she asked a little doubtfully.

It can be seen that Mu Jiuzhi always feels restrained when facing these group of executives.

However, her appearance and behavior did not disgust Nakiri Managi. On the contrary, she felt that she was very honest, so she chuckled and replied: "I am Anne's boss!"

"Then...isn't that a special executive officer?"

"The current WGO Food Organization, the only special executive officer, I remember is..."

Mujiu Zhiyuanguo, although he guessed a little at first.

But when she really knew the identity of Nakiri Managi, she was still a little panicked and stood up in a hurry.

"Don't be nervous, we came to your Chunguotei restaurant this time because something unexpected happened on the way to the izakaya."

Seeing this, Nakiri Managi quickly signaled that she didn't have to do this.

"No, no, no, it is my greatest honor to have someone like you, who has the No. 1 status in the food world, patronize this one-star restaurant!"

Mu Jiuzhi said with surprise and joy.

"It's really embarrassing to say it."

"As an executive officer, I have been to the izakaya next door two or three times."

"However, I have never been to your one-star restaurant recognized by WGO!"

Looking at Kikuchi, Shinagi couldn't help but sigh.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, everyone likes and admires him very much."

"After all, every dish he makes always makes every diner feel happy and happy."

"He...he is really a very good chef!" Mu Jiuzhi replied with a blush.

"Well, only those who have tasted his food know how delicious and unforgettable it is!"

Nakiri Shinagi said slowly.

……

Gollum!

Gollum!

at this time.

Maybe he misses Zhang Fan’s cooking too much.

Nakiri Shinagi inevitably felt a sense of hunger, and her stomach began to make a "gurgling" sound.

"Troubleshooting."

"I really want to taste Zhang Fan's cuisine now..."

Shinagi's face gradually turned red, and his eyes began to become blurry.

Although she still hates ordinary food.

But she couldn't really go to the izakaya right now, so she had no choice but to focus on Kikuchichi Sonoko.

"Kiuzhi, can you make a dish for me to taste now?"

"Samagi-sama, you must not do this!"

On the side, Anne was so frightened when she heard this that she quickly stood up and stopped her: "Even I think her cooking is just average, let alone you?"

"If vomiting occurs again due to tasting bad food, then... then..."

"It's okay, I'll just eat a little."

Nakiri Shinagi said nonchalantly.

Seeing Managi's face getting redder and redder, Anne couldn't bear it, and finally she could only say helplessly: "Okay, just this once!"

"Asking me to cook food for the special executive to taste, doesn't this mean that I will suffer the consequences?"

When Mu Jiuzhi heard this, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

You must know that her cooking can't even conquer Annie, let alone Nakiri Shinagi.

"Just cook to the best of your ability. No matter how it tastes, I can guarantee that it won't affect your restaurant."

Nakiri Shinagi, seeing her hesitation, comforted her.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

After saying this, Mujiuzhi Yuanguo began to think.

Which French dish are you going to make for WGO’s special executive to taste?
