Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

America.

In the prosperous city, there is a vast manor.

It is surrounded by towering city walls, as if it is a small independent world, completely isolated from the outside world.

The stone building with a Renaissance atmosphere is four stories high, covers an area of ​​more than 10000 square meters, and has a total of 200 rooms.

In short, every detail reveals the taste of nobility, no, money.

And at this moment, a wide hall.

Kita Shuji, who was invited by Nakiri Thistle, was holding a wine glass, and the wine in the glass shone alluringly under the light.

Then, he tilted the wine glass slightly and smelled the aroma of wine, which was the smell of food settling over time.

As the owner of the Kita Food Club with the most influence in Neon Country, Shuji Kita quickly noticed something from the aroma of the wine and couldn't help but take a sip!

The wine slides into the throat, bringing a slightly drunken warmth.

The warmth traveled down the esophagus and spread throughout the chest as quickly as possible.

……

"call!"

“As expected of the 82 Lafite, the taste is indeed perfect.”

"I didn't expect that the boss behind the Nakamura Chamber of Commerce, which has recently emerged in the United States, will be you, Thistle Nakiri!"

After spitting out the turbid smell of alcohol, Kita Shuji, who was fat, tightened his eyes and stared straight at Hisaki Nakiri sitting opposite him.

"Nakamura, that was my old last name."

Nagi cut thistle, also slowly put down the wine glass, and replied calmly.

When Kita Shuji heard this, he suddenly realized that everyone knew that he had entered the Nakiri family, and Nakiri was not his original surname.

At the same time, he was also secretly surprised that these people from the Nakiri family were really not good people.

Totsuki Academy.

WGO Food Organization.

Nakiri International Research Institute.

Middle Village Chamber of Commerce.

In these places that influence the entire culinary world, the Nakiri family is always there!

"Since this year, our Nakamura Chamber of Commerce has developed very well in the United States. Not only has the "Fun Food" variety show we exclusively invested in ranked first in the ratings."

"Even its subsidiary Skwell Cooking School achieved impressive results in the top six in the just-concluded National Cuisine Competition!"

"We have no opponents here."

"So, now I want to actively explore the market in Asia."

"As the owner of the largest food club in Neon Country, Kita, you are the person I want to cooperate with most. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?"

There was no sloppiness at all, and there were not so many twists and turns. Nakiri Thistle spoke straightforwardly.

"Ji, do I still have room to refuse?"

Kita Shuji is self-aware, so he can only respond helplessly.

After all, anyone who is not a three-year-old child can understand from his words that Nakiri Hisashi is going to cause a storm in the entire Neon Country cooking world, no, in Totsuki Academy.

That's why he suddenly shifted the focus of the Nakamura Chamber of Commerce to Asia!

……

The Nakamura Chamber of Commerce has been extremely influential in recent years.

First of all, members of this chamber of commerce must only be wealthy to be eligible to join, so they firmly control the food industry in the entire North American region.

As a club owner, Kita Shuji is naturally difficult to compete with.

not to mention.

Choose to cooperate with Nakiri Thistle.

It doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not good for the club.

In short, no one knows what Nakiri Thistle and Kita Shuji were talking about in this silent night, but it can be predicted:

A new storm has emerged!

Ever since he was permanently expelled from Totsuki Academy by the commander-in-chief more than 10 years ago, Nakiri Hisashi has been wandering around the world.

Finally, he came to the United States to develop. On the one hand, he really wanted to make a name for himself in the culinary world again and continue to implement his ambitions and plans!

On the other hand, he also wants to use the platform of the Chamber of Commerce to secretly develop his own power, plan a Totsuki coup in the future, and prepare to successfully take over Totsuki Academy.

Then he will rectify the resources of the Nakamura Chamber of Commerce and the Nakiri family, and then control the entire culinary world.

"Senami Saiba!"

"Let me finish the road you haven't finished."

After Kita Shuji left, Nakiri Thistle came to the window, looked at the night sky outside the window, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He once believed in the system of Totsuki Academy, and even after Saiba Joichiro's mentality completely collapsed and he had no choice but to drop out of school, he became even more desperate.

As a first-year student in the Higher Education Department, he became the second among the top ten.

As a second-year student, he became the first among the top ten.

At that time, he had reached a height that even Saiba Joichiro could not reach, and he carried the banner of Totsuki alone!

Even in the end, in order to completely change the status quo and change Totsuki, he married into the Nakiri family at all costs. But just when he was about to develop his ambitions, Nakiri Shinagi chose to run away from home.

In desperation, he had no choice but to re-germinate a seed named "Hope" on Nakiri Erina.

But his extreme education of Erina directly aroused the commander-in-chief's dissatisfaction.

Eventually, he was expelled from Yuanyue.

……

dong dong!

A brief knock on the door broke his memory.

Nakiri Thistle came back to his senses and said calmly: "The door is unlocked, just come in."

Then, a secretary wearing glasses hurriedly rushed in with a report document: "President, it's bad, dozens of chain restaurants under our Nakamura Chamber of Commerce are surrounded by a group of people. Masked late-night cook, destroyed.”

"Late night cook?"

After learning about the situation, Nagiri Hisashi couldn't help but frown deeply.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes flashed and he showed no panic at all: "It seems that my plan should be advanced."

Then, his eyes began to show a look of excitement and anticipation.

Erina.

We, father and daughter, will meet again soon.

Haha, I’m really looking forward to it!

……

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the izakaya closed.

Because during the daytime, Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo also had to run her own Chun Guoting restaurant, so Zhang Fan asked her to go back and rest early.

After eating Sapporo miso ramen, Tadokoro also chose to leave soon.

After all, she still had to go back to Totsuki's Jokusei dormitory to reminisce about old times with Yoshino Yuki, Sakaki Ryoko and other dorm mates.

"Shopkeeper, I'll be available later."

“We will definitely come back to this izakaya.”

"When the time comes, will you entertain us with delicious curry dishes like tonight?"

Before leaving, Qian Tu Xia Ya asked Zhang Fan with a bit of reluctance in her eyes.

Originally, their time was very tight and they just wanted to return to HUB Food Company to rest early.

Unfortunately, Zhang Fan's Japanese curry rice was so unexpected that even at closing time, they still had no intention of leaving.

To be honest, a handsome and capable chef like Zhang Fan would really seduce these curry queens!

"no problem."

"In an izakaya, there are rules for diners to order whatever they want." "When the time comes, let alone curry dishes, even if you ask me to make something else, I will try my best to satisfy your requests."

Zhang Fan smiled and replied.

"Okay, your words are enough."

Qian Tu Xia Ya nodded, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly inadvertently.

Finally, she took her sister Sentata Ori and left the izakaya together.

……

"Ding dong."

"The host successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for getting the special recipe Jade Flute Who Can Listen to Luomei, the special recipe Yunlong Fried Shrimp, the ingredients are 20 jins of sirloin, 20 jins of deer leg meat, 20 jins of rabbit meat, 5 pig ear tips, and 50 jins of lamb buttocks. .”

Just like that, the izakaya officially closed, and the system’s sign-in rewards finally appeared again!

First of all.

Special recipe, who can listen to the jade flute and fall plum blossoms.

This dish is similar to the one served on the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night last time.

It is an enhanced version of roasted beef strips. It is made from sirloin as the main ingredient, mutton rump, pig ear, and roe and rabbit as ingredients. It is made from a mixture of five kinds of animal meat.

There is a very magical thing about this dish. It is that when two kinds of meat are eaten together, they can taste the same.

There are a total of 25 variations, which equals fifty-five plum blossoms. Because the dish is shaped like a flute, it is called:

Who listens to the jade flute and the fallen plum blossoms!

A gourmet may not be able to cook well, but a good chef is definitely a good gourmet.

In the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Rong appeared dressed as a beggar, and was "looked down upon" by the waiter in a restaurant.

Fortunately, the young local tycoon Guo Jing was willing to treat her to dinner, but he never thought that she was really rude and actually ordered "four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits, and four candied fruits" as dessert before the meal.

When the official meal began, I ordered eight appetizers, twelve appetizers, and eight snacks.

Ah!

Let’s not talk about anything else.

From her alone she could specify the varieties of fruit preserves.

You can understand that she really surpasses many ordinary people in terms of knowledge of food.

It is not difficult to explain why the dish she made [Who Can Listen to the Jade Flute and Falling Plum Blossoms] was also deeply loved by Hong Qigong!

……

Yunlong fried shrimp.

As the name suggests, it is a dish with shrimp as the main ingredient.

The three lobsters competing for supremacy is one of the most classic plots in "The Little Master of China".

As for Liu Pleia Xing's Yunlong fried shrimp dish, a layer of fried soybean skin is wrapped between the shrimp and the batter. The sauce is cleverly sealed in the shrimp body so that it does not flow out when fried and has a popping effect when eaten.

In the end, relying on this unexpected effect, he successfully defeated the golden masked man's fried anchovies!

Although the chance of getting two special recipes at the same time is not impossible.

But when it was actually in front of Zhang Fan, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

Then, in order to hold a welcome party for Taki Kadozaki, who had just become the second official employee, Zhang Fan, after getting over his excitement, planned to make braised oxtail.

……

before the start.

Wash all the vegetables first.

Like carrots, onions and parsley, dice them all and mince the garlic.

Wash the purchased oxtail several times, then use kitchen paper to absorb the excess water on the oxtail, sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt and black pepper, and massage it to spread the salt and black pepper evenly.

Next, is the fried oxtail.

Coat the marinated oxtail in flour before frying.

The oxtail is made to be coated with flour here, but it is very knowledgeable.

After the oxtail is fried, first add the diced onions and minced garlic into the pot and stir-fry.

After the vegetables are fragrant, add the carrots and celery into the pot and stir-fry until the vegetables become soft. Add a spoonful of tomato paste and continue to stir-fry.

After the vegetables are stir-fried, pour in 300 ml of red wine, then 250 ml of stock, and stir.

Put the fried oxtail into the pot, add thyme, bay leaves, rosemary and other spices, turn up the heat and bring the soup to a boil.

After boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer.

When putting it on the plate, put some vegetables on the side, braised oxtail with a good combination of meat and vegetables, and it's done!

……

Dingqing took a look.

The color of red braised oxtail is very attractive.

The carefully cooked oxtail takes on a deep red color that complements the richness of the sauce.

The texture of the meat on the oxtail is clear and delicate, letting people know that it is of high quality at a glance.

The formation of this color comes from the meat quality of the oxtail itself on the one hand, and the various spices and condiments used in the cooking process on the other hand.

"Zhang Fan, are we going to eat this later?"

Xiaolin Gentian, who has not left yet, is almost made to cry!

"Ok!"

Zhang Fan just snorted softly.

Then, he rolled his eyes angrily and said to her: "I said you are quite shameless. It's already past 2 o'clock in the morning and you don't even want to leave the izakaya."

"Hehehe, aren't you still full..."

When Xiaolin Ringtong heard this, his pretty little face immediately blushed, and he felt that this kind of behavior was indeed shameless.

After all, in an izakaya, there is a rule that diners can order whatever they want, but there is also a rule that all diners must leave when the restaurant closes. But she refused to leave, leaving Zhang Fan in a dilemma!

Fortunately, in the end, Zhang Fan didn't care so much and even asked her to stay and hold a welcome party for Taki Kadozaki.

……

"Zhang Fan, can I eat first?"

Looking at the red oxtail soup in the pot, Kobayashi Ringtong couldn't help but swallow and asked expectantly.

Zhang Fan didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.

then.

The greedy Kobayashi Gentian.

First, I filled a small bowl of braised oxtail soup and tasted it carefully.

In terms of taste, first of all, you can clearly feel the deliciousness of oxtail. This comes from the taste of the beef itself, which is mellow and natural.

At the same time, after some stewing, the meat of the oxtail becomes extremely soft and glutinous, and it melts in your mouth.

"what?"

"It seems...the taste of braised oxtail..."

Kobayashi RENTAN blinked, and at that moment, a richer taste quickly spread in her mouth.

Apparently she was right, there was more to the braised oxtail than just that.

The various spices and condiments used in the cooking process, such as tomato sauce, red wine, bay leaves, star anise, etc., add more layers to this dish.

Especially the mellowness of thyme and red wine makes the whole dish richer and more diverse.

At the same time, the addition of onions, carrots, potatoes and other vegetables adds a fresh taste to this dish. (End of chapter)
