Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 141 I want to entrust my daughter to you

food.

For everyone, comfort from the outside is provided.

When a child desires love, he often turns to food as the object of his love.

And when Shinagi Nakiri, who has the talent of God's Tongue, longs for love, he will also have the same emotion.

In fact.

That kind of long-term insatisfaction with cooking.

Let Nakiri Shinagi's emotions never be expressed.

And those negative energies were "frozen" in her heart, forming internal traumas, namely:
indifferent!

criticism!

humiliation!

Violence!

These increasingly bad temperaments.

It wasn't until recently that I felt a strong sense of satisfaction from tasting Zhang Fan's cuisine that I was able to restrain myself.

However, the scars left deep in her heart began to force her to find satisfaction and comfort through crazy intake of Zhang Fan's food!

……

It's ridiculous to say the least.

Before finding a dish that satisfies God's tongue.

Nakiri Shinagi lives in fear and fear every day.

But when she found a dish that could break the curse of God's Tongue, she found that the fear in her heart had not disappeared.

There are two reasons for this:
One is that she is afraid that Zhang Fan's cooking will not be able to keep up with the evolution speed of God's Tongue.

But this kind of worry was overcome by the evolutionary version of Lie Bingxian Seabream Mountain last time.

As for another reason, she was also afraid that one day, she would no longer be able to taste Zhang Fan's cooking.

Therefore, she always felt insecure and always thought, "It would be great if she could eat Zhang Fan's food before she died!"

Gradually, Shinagi completely lost control.

Because she put all her anxiety and pain on "Zhang Fan", she became unable to extricate herself!
……

"Zhang Fan, E...Is Erina okay?"

After finishing the Luohansai cuisine, Nakiri Shinagi thought of the figure of Erina she had just seen secretly in the alley.

More than 10 years.

She has grown up a lot and matured a lot.

Although she hasn't tasted her current dishes yet, Shinagi can be sure that her cooking skills have improved greatly.

Moreover, she is always accompanied by Fei Sha.

Thinking of this, Nakiri Shinagi secretly hypnotized herself. In such a life, what is the meaning of meeting her?

"she?"

"Of course it's good."

"I just ate two whole bowls of noodles here!"

Zhang Fan responded with a smile.

"Really? It seems that she also likes you...the cooking you make, just like me."

Nakiri Shinagi responded with a disappointed look in his eyes.

Looking carefully, the expression on her face became very desolate and helpless.

It was obvious that her daughter was right in front of her, right here, but...but she just didn't have the courage to recognize her!
Zhang Fan looked at Shinagi's expression and couldn't help but make a guess, and said: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

"If I see her, I can tell you."

Hearing this, Nakiri Shinagi shook his head, shook off the annoyance in his heart and replied to Zhang Fan: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have nothing to say to her."

Listening carefully again, you can find that her voice is starting to become a little deeper.

Those bright eyes still revealed a hint of reminiscence, as if she was recalling every bit of her life with Erina before she ran away from home.

……

"Zhang Fan, do you have time?"

"The food ordered by the diners has been served. Please be free for now."

"Then...then can I tell you everything about Erina's past?"

Looking at Nakiri Shinagi's affectionate look, Zhang Fanwei nodded.

So, Managi began to talk about Erina's childhood. From her ability of God's Tongue to distinguish the origin of various salts, as well as her cooking skills,

Including when she was drinking breast milk, the first thing she said was "it tastes bad".

Finally, he talked about how he, as a mother, doted on her in the past...

Next, let’s talk about the sadness of leaving home.

From beginning to end, Zhang Fan actually didn't say a word while listening to Managi's true story.

But his expression of listening carefully, and his attitude of fearing that he might miss a certain sentence or word, moved Shinagi Nakiri a little when he spoke at the end.

"It can be seen that if it were not for God's Tongue, the relationship between you mother and daughter would be very harmonious."

Finally, after listening, Zhang Fan said softly.

"Who said no?"

"It is very rare in history for two consecutive generations of the Nakiri family to have the ability to have the tongue of God."

"However, it all happened to me and Erina."

"Perhaps, all this is the fate that has been destined for our two generations, mother and daughter."

Nakiri Shinagi responded with deep understanding.

After that, she focused her attention on Zhang Fan again, and after thinking about it again, she said what she was thinking: "Zhang Fan, I... I want to entrust my daughter Erina to you."

"Ok?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment.

"Logically speaking, I can't be so selfish."

"But I know the pain caused by the curse of God's Tongue best."

"Erina is actually luckier than me. She met you before her symptoms were at their worst!"

"Yet she was also the most unfortunate, for she suffered a succession of hardships during her childhood."

"This will inevitably cause the so-called "dark side" to appear in her character, especially in her cooking career, which will completely lead her to deviate from her own life in the future."

"And, the curse of God's Tongue."

"Although it was completely solved with your cooking."

"But those things that happened 10 years ago still didn't have a good ending."

"I believe that Erina may be involved in the incident in Totsuki in the near future."

"So, let me beg you!"

"If you were there to help me silently, I...I think Erina will be happier in the future."

"After all, you, Zhang Fan, are the only one in the world who can truly change her!"

Looking deeply at Nakiri Shinagi in front of him, and seeing that her eyes were watery and there was a small tear in the corner of her eye, Zhang Fan gently handed her a tissue.

"seriously."

"I'm not interested at all in the nonsense about your Nakiri family."

"But don't worry."

"No matter what happens in the future, my izakaya will always be Erina's haven of refuge in life."

"Ok!"

"Thank you."

Nakiri Shinagi looked at Zhang Fan and his eyes were filled with gratitude.

"It's amazing."

Anne next to her was looking steadily at Nakiri Shinagi and Zhang Fan.

Finally, she whispered to herself: "I didn't expect that Zhang Fan would be so trusted by Lord Shinagi that she would be willing to entrust her daughter to him."

……

It is undeniable.

Nakiri Managi is a very strong woman.

If it were anyone else, if they had experienced the curse of God's Tongue, they would probably commit suicide out of fear.As the only special executive officer of WGO, her abilities are naturally very powerful, like a queen-like existence.

From beginning to end, she stood at the highest place.

To motivate and look down on all the chefs in the world, and always treat them as slaves of food!
However, no matter how strong a person is.

Inside, there are also fragile places and weaknesses.

Whenever I can't taste it, I can really conquer the God's Tongue Cuisine.

She longed for someone more powerful than her to solve her troubles, lead her out of the predicament, and make her feel dependent.

At this moment, after entrusting his daughter to Zhang Fan, there was something vaguely strange in Nakiri Shinagi's heart.

Of course, she is also very clear.

What does this strange feeling mean?

"Could it be that Zhang Fan is the only man in this world who can be admired by me and recognized by me?"

Finally, Nagiri Shinagi, who had complicated thoughts, whispered softly inadvertently.

……

The time came to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Nakiri Shinagi, who had been chatting with Zhang Fan for a long time, stood up and prepared to leave the izakaya.

"time flies."

"There are many things I didn't even have time to say to you."

"Anyway, chatting with you tonight is one of the happiest moments in my life."

Looking deeply at Zhang Fan, Nakiri Shinagi sighed.

"I'm sorry to say that when you came to the izakaya, there was no more sea bream or spinach."

"So I can't make you dishes like the Chilled Fresh Sea Bream and Comet Fried Rice. I can only use some vegetarian ingredients and barely make Dao Hanzhai dishes."

Zhang Fan couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose when he heard this, and his tone was a little helpless.

"No! That's enough."

"Your food is really delicious."

Nakiri Shinagi shook his head, and then said: "As long as I can taste your food, I...I will be very happy and happy."

"Haha, if you say that, I'll be relieved!"

Zhang Fan chuckled.

"All right."

"It's getting late, so let's do it tonight."

"Ok!"

"You go slowly."

Finally, Nakiri Shinagi and Annie both left the izakaya.

As they left, it was finally time for the izakaya to close.

……

At this moment, he looked at the backs of the two people drifting away.

Zhang Fan stretched first, then turned around to turn off the sign light outside the door.

But at this moment, a sweet and somewhat angry voice sounded behind him: "Shopkeeper, I...am I a little late?"

"Huh? This voice..."

Looking back, he saw the cute girl from Totsuki, Tian Sohui, appearing in front of him sweating profusely.

From the way she kept panting, one could tell that she must have come here in a hurry.

"Not too late."

“It’s not closed yet!”

Zhang Fan couldn't help but shrugged.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the interior of the izakaya.

Tadokoro Hui who was behind him was a little stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and he quickly followed in.

……

First, boil the water in a small pot and add the jasmine flowers.

Simmer over low heat for 1 minute, then pour the tea leaves into the cup.

When the color of the tea gradually became thicker, he brought the brewed jasmine tea in front of Tadokoro: "Let's have a sip of the scented tea first."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhang."

Tadokoro, who had just sat down, quickly took the tea cup.

She blew a few breaths of air-conditioning first, and then sipped it lightly regardless of how hot it was.

As soon as you take your mouth, you can instantly feel the freshness of tea leaves and the freshness of jasmine.

As the soaking time increases, the taste gradually becomes mellower, and you can feel a little sweet even after swallowing!
So, she slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed this peaceful and comfortable moment.

"Tell me, what's the matter with coming here in the middle of the night?" Zhang Fan said suddenly.

Tian Suohui opened his eyes again, but there was a trace of loss and panic in his eyes: "Shopkeeper, you said... with an elimination rate of 50%, does a poor student like me have no chance at all? "

"Hey! You still haven't changed at all."

"Are you so unsure of your own strength?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan held his forehead, and then said: "Are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat first."

"Okay, I'll give it to the shopkeeper."

Touching her stomach, Tazoe found that she was a little hungry, so she couldn't help but nodded.

……

Vegetable French jelly, a unique French vegetable dish.

The protagonists of this dish are seven carefully selected vegetables, which are:

carrot!
cucumber!

Haricot vert!

corn kernels!
lettuce!

Cherry tomato!
Snow peas!
These vegetables, during the cooking process.

They can fully maintain their respective tastes and flavors, and together create a richly delicious dish.

And this dish requires meticulous operation and strict control in every aspect, from material selection to handling, and from cooking to plating.

In other words, only by mastering the appropriate heat and time can each vegetable be cooked to perfection.

First, the processing of cherry tomatoes.

It is different from any previous method of processing tomatoes.

Cut it in half, sprinkle it with rock salt, and dry it in a low oven.

In this way, using low-temperature baking method can increase the sweetness of tomatoes.

Then, mix the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini into the frozen cubes to create 7 colored layers, bringing out the delicious flavors of the vegetables in each layer.

Gradually, as time passed little by little, a plate of exquisite vegetable French jelly was placed in front of Tazoe.

……

Visually.

The color combination of this French vegetable jelly is really like an oil painting.

The orange of carrots, the green of cucumbers, the yellow of green beans and corn kernels, the green and red of lettuce and cherry tomatoes, the light green of snow peas...

These rich colors inject vibrant natural color into this dish.

And every vegetable is like an embellishment in a work of art, adding endless charm to this dish.

At the same time, this dish.

Also have to have two completely different styles of sauces.

One is tangerine jelly, and the other is based on perilla and then made into a paste-like sauce.

"oops!"

"What a beautiful vegetable jelly!"

Seeing the rainbow-like appearance, Tadokoro was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

Then, she gently touched the surface of the vegetable jelly with a knife, and she could feel a very soft touch!
