Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

A whole egg.

It is mainly composed of three parts: egg white, egg yolk and egg shell.

It weighs about 50g, of which the egg yolk accounts for about 15g and the egg white accounts for about 35g. Of course, the specific weight depends on the size you choose!
In the culinary world, whether it is Chinese cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Western food, American fast food... almost all recipes in the world require eggs.

So the main ingredient is eggs, for students.

There are many options and it is relatively simple.

But it is undoubtedly very difficult to use eggs to create a breakfast that can attract tourists.

What's more, the footfall is only about 2000, but there are hundreds of students taking the breakfast exam.

In other words, everyone is actually a competitor to each other now, and the only thing they have to do is to steal diners from other people's breakfast stalls.

Therefore, this time in the middle of the night is naturally particularly precious.

……

"It's such a silent night. I wonder what kind of breakfast those students will create during this time?"

At this moment, in the room where the examiner rested, Dojima Gin looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and murmured to himself.

"I heard that they are all in the kitchen, each working on breakfast."

On the side, the assessor Guan Shouping said.

"It's different from the usual test questions. I'm afraid they are all anxious now, right?"

On the other hand, Gan Hinata had a silly look on her face, appearing to be unconcerned about something.

"Who knows?"

When Dojima Gin heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly!
At the same time, in the kitchen of Totsuki Rikyu, all the students were busy.

"Oh, what a headache."

"To make breakfast delicious, it must be completed in a short time so that it can be eaten by many diners, and we must also consider whether the presentation is attractive enough..."

Standing in front of the cooking table, Ryoko Sakaki suddenly felt troubled.

"Yeah, I don't have time to sleep at all. I have to develop a new breakfast before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Next to her, Yoshino Yuki rolled up her sleeves and started carrying some eggs over.

"But...but if you don't get enough sleep, your body may not be able to bear the test tomorrow morning, right?"

Tian Suohui seemed a little desperate and said softly.

"So, just come up with good breakfast dishes as soon as possible, and then make up for your sleep."

Yoshino Yuki handed an egg to her hand and said seriously.

"Oh, that's all there is to it!"

At this time, Tian Suohui could only cheer up.

She also stood in front of the cooking table, staring closely at the eggs in her hands, and began to think.

……

In this noisy world, many people are often troubled by the pressure of work and life and neglect to pay attention to their physical and mental health.

However, healthy does not mean bland food.

Instead it can be a wonderful adventure for the taste buds, an artistic expression of cooking.

As the famous English chef Jamie Oliver once said: "Food is not just about filling your stomach, it is also a way to enjoy life."

First, break 3 eggs into a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of milk, appropriate amount of salt to taste, stir evenly, and then filter through a sieve.

Strain the egg liquid and the fried eggs will taste smoother and more tender.

In a non-stick pan, add 10g of butter and heat over medium-low heat until slightly hot. Drop in the egg batter and it will solidify in 2 seconds. Then pour in the filtered egg liquid.

When the bottom of the egg liquid is slightly solidified, stir quickly from the outside to the inside and shake the pan to allow the egg liquid to heat evenly.

Finally, when the egg liquid is in a semi-solidified state, use a spatula to gently fold one side of the egg pancake in half, then push it to the edge of the pan, flip the pan over and fold it into an olive shape, fry over medium-low heat for 20 seconds, and it's ready to serve!

Next, spread English muffins, hollandaise sauce and ham, and add spinach puree to the poached eggs.

The omelette, which is as soft as a cloud, is now complete.

……

Omelets are actually French omelette.

In Hong Kong and Macao, it is also transliterated to mean "奄 Lie".

Don’t think that it’s nothing when you see the word omelette. Although on the daily dining table, omelets are usually just a make-up and emergency addition.

But in the Western culinary world, there is a saying: "An excellent chef should start by learning to make a perfect omelette."

At this moment, Erina's just-finished ohm egg could be seen glowing slightly under the light, and its surprisingly thin egg skin seemed to explode instantly with just a light poke.

And the warm egg aroma, often mixed with the sweet honey aroma, is like a girl from a small family, constantly stimulating the appetite deep in her heart.

Without thinking, she gently took a spoonful and quickly put it in her mouth to taste.

"Huh? This kind of taste..."

The next second, Nakiri Erina's eyes widened.

The half-cooked egg liquid flows back and forth in every direction in the mouth. It is very moist, smooth and juicy, but also particularly firm in taste.

So much so that her whole body was melting, as if she was lying on a quilt that had just been exposed to the sun.

The final internal temperature of good omelette eggs should be 60°C.

Because this temperature can achieve the best taste, and the skin can be gentle and smooth, without any unevenness!
Obviously, Erina Nakiri, who has the talent of God's Tongue, has achieved the ultimate in this aspect without any flaws.

……

"Fei Shasha, I'm going back to the guest room to rest."

After quickly eating the whole omelette, Erina turned her head and looked at Hisako, who was still making soup base not far away.

"Hey! Miss, you...have you made breakfast?"

Hearing this, Fei Shasha was slightly shocked.

Erina did not answer directly, but nodded, and then asked again: "What about you? Do you want to continue?"

"Of course I have to continue, because I have only finished half of the cooking." Fei Shasha said helplessly.

"Okay, then you work hard, and when we return to the guest room, we can play poker together."

After saying that, Erina straightened her clothes, brushed her somewhat messy hair in front of her forehead, and then left the kitchen under the eyes of everyone.

"As expected of Miss Erina, this kind of style that doesn't even consider pressure is simply awe-inspiring!"

Looking at the departing figure, Fei Shasha couldn't help but show admiration.

Then, she looked indifferent and calm again, seizing the time, and continued to try to make breakfast.

"Okay, my cooking is done!" At this time, Alice Nakiri, who was also in the kitchen, couldn't help but be extremely excited when she looked at the cooking work she had worked so hard to make.

After all, the idea of ​​using eggs as an ingredient to recreate eggs made her feel like she was really a genius.

But when she looked around, she found that Nakiri Erina was missing from the entire kitchen.

"Huh? Faster than me again?"

Alice suddenly stamped her feet in anger, feeling a little unwilling.

She pouted and said to Ryou Kurokiba who was standing aside: "I'm going back first, remember to be more upbeat for me, don't lose to Erina, Hisako and the others tomorrow morning."

"Okay, miss." Kurokiba Ryo, with dark circles under his eyes like panda eyes.

His whole body gave off a feeling of sleepiness and weakness, without the vitality of a young man at all!

……

The izakaya now only has the owner, Shang Fan, and the assistant cook, Kikuchi Sono.

Although it is not very large, every diner who enters the izakaya can quickly feel warm.

At this time, as the number of diners gradually increased, another regular customer began to appear.

"Managi, is that you?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Nakiri Managi, who was quietly waiting for the second plate of Magic Mapo Tofu, had a look of astonishment on his face, instantly losing his usual calmness.

She expected that Erina would never show up at the izakaya, but she never expected that she would meet her father again.

"Father...Father, why are you here too?" Shinagi was a little unbelievable.

"I have a little leisure time these days, so I plan to come to the izakaya to drink some wine to refresh my mood."

Just after sitting down, the commander-in-chief waved his hand to Zhang Fan and said: "Zhang Fan, give me a bottle of sake first."

"Well, no problem."

Zhang Fan nodded, turned around, took out a bottle of sake, and placed it gently in front of him.

……

When the wine enters the mouth, the first impression is that it is relatively clean in the mouth and does not have the strong alcohol feeling of white wine.

After tasting it carefully, you can only feel that it has the complex aroma of pears, apples and grapes, and with an alcohol content of 15°, as long as you drink it slowly, you will not feel drunk at all.

Of course, although the taste is not very strong, there is always an aftertaste after swallowing it.

Perhaps even the commander-in-chief could not have imagined that he would unexpectedly meet Mana Nakiri when he came to the izakaya when he was bored, so his mood suddenly became happy.

"Managi, why don't you go see Erina?"

Putting down the glass of wine, he glanced at Shinagi. The commander-in-chief seemed to be blaming him, but he was more incomprehensible.

"Father, I will go see her. But it's really not now. Maybe I don't know how to face her, or maybe I have been choosing to escape, right?"

Shinagi, at the end of the sentence, looked a little guilty and pained.

Her expression was naturally noticed by the commander-in-chief, and in the end he could only sigh.

In fact, he also understood very well that Nakiri Managi's fate also foreshadowed what would happen to Erina.

One day, Erina will be swallowed up by the storm of cooking, and eventually become like Managi Nakiri, afraid to eat food anymore.

In order to break the curse of God's Tongue, it's not that the Commander-in-Chief has not worked hard over the years. The first thing he did was to let Erina stay in Totsuki to study and hone her cooking skills to the extreme.

After all, in his eyes, the only person who can save Erina is herself!

And if she succeeds, she can use her God's Tongue talent to create dishes that conquer God's Tongue.

Then, it also indicates that his daughter Nakiri Shinagi will also have hope.

Therefore, under this concept, he ordered his son Nakiri Munue to collect excellent chefs from all over the world and let them all come to Totsuki Academy to study. Through communication and discussion with Erina, she can improve her own cooking skills. !

To put it bluntly, all the students who are now enrolled in Totsuki are destined to be Erina's stepping stones.

And this kind of thing that was planned secretly in the early years was praised by the commander-in-chief as:

The Raw Jade Generation Plan!

……

Uncut jade refers to jade that has not been polished or carved.

For example, at the age of 12, Tadokoro was a piece of rough jade after being inspected by Souei Nakiri.

In other words, it was the commander-in-chief and Nakiri Souei's plan that Tadokoro was able to go to Totsuki to study.

Of course, in addition to Tadokoroe, there are other outstanding chefs who were secretly invited to Totsuki Academy by Souei Nakiri, such as:
Hayama Ryo, Takemi, Isami, Kurokiba Ryo, Nakiri Alice, and... who was personally invited by the commander-in-chief, Yukihira Joichiro's son, Yukihira Soma!
Then let these "raw jade" go through layers of training and polishing at Totsuki Academy to become real "jades".

Then use these "jades" to continuously stimulate Erina's potential.

In this way, Erina may be able to create the most perfect dish in the world and avoid the tragic fate of God's Tongue.

However, after seeing that Zhang Fan's cooking can break the God's Tongue Curse, this so-called "Pure Jade Generation Plan" naturally came to an end.

"Managi, why do you bother?"

"You should also know that the current Totsuki Academy and the current Nakiri family need you very much."

"Nakiri Thistle has been expelled from Totsuki long ago. Nakiri Souei's mind has never been on the family business. As the future successor Erina, she is not yet able to take on important responsibilities."

"The only person who can shoulder the future of the entire family now is you!"

Out of concern for the family's future, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but persuade him after taking a sip of sake.

"I am your daughter, and I also have the noble blood of the Nakiri family."

"But father, you need to know that my current status is still a special executive officer of the WGO Food Organization. I must be responsible for the WGO."

"Besides, after all these years, don't you know that I have never cared about the affairs of Totsuki Academy?"

"Therefore, please forgive me for my willfulness!"

Nakiri Shinagi shook her head and stared at the commander-in-chief. She did not expect that the entire family would not be able to find a qualified successor.

"Hey, have you done many willful things in your life?"

"You have your own ideas and your own pursuits in life. As a father, what else can I do except understand?"

"What's more, you have suffered a lot in these years, and I really can't bear to make you tired anymore!"

After saying this, Nakiri Senzaemon drank some sake.

After learning that he could not persuade Shinagi Nakiri to serve as the next commander-in-chief, his mood was inevitably extremely complicated.

Seeing this situation, Shinagi could only comfort him: "Father, you are strong now, so you will definitely have no problem holding on for a few more years."

"Well, whatever, if it comes to the point where I can't hold on any longer, it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave my position to my grandson-in-law."

The commander-in-chief secretly glanced at Zhang Fan, who was busy at work, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently, and he said meaningfully.

Seeing this, Nakiri Shinagi next to him couldn't help but was stunned, and then he reacted. (End of chapter)
