Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 20 Dishes for 5000 yen
Izakaya!
Business hours are from 7pm to 12pm!
This timing is very important, because most of the diners faced by Zhang Fan's izakaya are ordinary working-class people.

After a day's work, after working overtime, or after get off work, everyone will come here to have a few glasses of wine and eat some snacks to eliminate the fatigue and stress of the day!

Although, coming to an izakaya is like going home, it has a warm and comfortable atmosphere and can completely relax you.

The food and drinks provided are also similar to those at home, allowing many people to feel the taste of "home" when tasting delicious food.

however.

Lots of diners.

I usually don’t go back too late and I usually leave the izakaya before 12pm!
After all, I have to get up and go to work early tomorrow morning.

Of course, it is also because the reputation of the izakaya has just begun, and the number of diners who come every day is actually not very many, so Zhang Fan simply chooses to "lay down" and close after 12 o'clock!

Maybe in the future, when the entire izakaya gradually grows in size, he will choose to delay the izakaya’s business hours, right?

……

time.

pass in a hurry.

Erina Nakiri did not leave just after finishing her beef burger, anchovy fries and chocolate brownie.

She continued to sit there, watching the diners coming in and out.

Occasionally, she would secretly watch Zhang Fan to see how he cooked and put a happy smile on the face of every diner who came in!

She had always believed that noble cuisine could be achieved.

Not only relying on those rare ingredients, but more importantly, relying on the chef's own superb cooking skills.

Some cooking skills cannot be learned through continuous hard work.

Sometimes, it has a crucial relationship with the chef's own vision, knowledge, and even talent!
A country bumpkin cook.

He had never seen a noble black truffle, nor had he tasted the taste of a black truffle.

So, no matter how hard he tried, even if he just absorbed the theoretical knowledge in the book, he was destined to be unable to make a real black truffle dish.

Therefore, being able to master cooking skills and talents that even many geniuses cannot master is the basic condition for an excellent chef!
And Erina, who has the talent of God's Tongue, is naturally far better than many people in this aspect, so she also has her own share of pride!

in contrast.

Zhang Fan, however, took a completely different path from hers.

The scale and quality of the izakaya he runs are definitely not comparable to those of a five-star hotel.

And the dishes he brings out to entertain diners are usually snacks, home-cooked dishes, night snacks and snacks.

These dishes are not difficult to make.

Even people who don't know how to cook can try to make it in their small kitchen at home.

But Zhang Fan often has a different way of making these simple dishes than others.

Especially the kind of understanding and thoughts about every dish always make her eyes light up!
And unlike those chefs who only pursue profits, Zhang Fan really maintains a passionate heart for cooking and delicious food!
maybe?
A hot beef burger.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s made from toast bread or not!

Is it noble cuisine?
Is it civilian cuisine?
These concepts are not important either!
What's important is just what Zhang Fan said just now.

A chef only needs to bring out the best food and satisfy the diners.

After all, no one who comes to an izakaya and eats these dishes will care about these things like Erina does!

……

"Miss Erina!"

“The atmosphere of this izakaya is different from other places. It is indeed full of warmth!”

"It gives me the feeling that those five-star hotels with world-class chefs and the most delicious dishes in the world are nothing compared to this!" At this moment, Nito Hisako was facing the izakaya In the warm atmosphere, I couldn’t help but sigh!
In this world, there are two things you cannot live up to:

Love!
Food!

Love is definitely one of the most beautiful emotions in the world, it can make human beings feel extremely happy and satisfied.

And food that can bring happiness to people is naturally full of love and emotion!

It's like saying.

During these years, she would cook some medicinal dishes for Erina every day.

The purpose of these medicinal dishes is to recuperate the weak Erina.

It was to prevent her from being so tired, and to prevent her physical condition from gradually becoming weak due to the curse of God's Tongue.

And this kind of food full of emotions, the food that I hope will make Erina happy, has always been what Hisako is most proud of!
Although in order to make these medicinal dishes, she would sometimes go through various ancient medical books to find various medicinal materials, and she was very busy.

but.

in hindsight.

When I saw that Erina gave a good evaluation after tasting these medicinal dishes, I felt a little satisfied.

She will feel that everything she has paid is worth it.

Now, when watching Zhang Fan use his cooking to arouse the emotions of the diners and soothe their souls, Fei Shasha could not help but feel a deep resonance.

It was as if he could see his former self in Zhang Fan!
……

"Ok!"

"This is an izakaya."

"It's indeed like what Senior Kukuchi said, it's unusual!"

After coming back to her senses, Erina just nodded, confirming the opinion of Nito Hisako next to her.

Later, when she saw that Zhang Fan seemed to be free, she took the initiative to talk to him: "Zhang...Zhang Fan, right?"

"Can I ask first, how much does this beef burger, anchovy fries, and chocolate brownie cost in total?"

"This number!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fan just stretched out one hand and spread all five fingers!

"5?"

"500 million yen?"

"Ok?"

"Erina!"

"What do you think the food I cook is worth this price?"

Zhang Fan was almost stunned when Erina said the price "500 million yen" after thinking for a moment!

Maybe it's because she was born in a noble family, so she doesn't have a clear concept of money; or maybe she really feels that with Zhang Fan's own cooking skills and talents, the dishes he makes are worth the price!

Is it possible that Erina in front of me was impressed by me so quickly?
After thinking about it, Zhang Fan just shook his head and said with a smile: "Three zeros less, 5000 yen!"

"what?"

"What did you say?"

“Such a good meal is only worth 5000 yen?”

Hearing this, Erina was shocked again.

She suddenly remembered what Kikuchichi Enoka said. The meat skewers in this izakaya for less than 100 yen are far better than the French foie gras in Harugotei that costs over [-] yen!
