Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Actually.

Understanding of meat cuisine.

Although Mito Yumei is not as good as Zhang Fan, she is just as good as Yukihira Soma!

In the previous preliminary round, if the topic was "Beef" or "Rice Bowl", then she should be able to replace Yukihira Souma and advance to the quarterfinals.

Unfortunately, history has no if.

The cooking topic of this preliminary round is curry.

As someone who was born in a small restaurant, Soma's understanding of the use of spices and curry is far better than that of Mito Ikmei, who follows Erina and only recognizes high-quality meat!

Therefore, Mito Yumei's defeat was inevitable.

At that time.

She was desperate and even collapsed!

However, with a relatively strong personality, she quickly regained her confidence and began to constantly reflect on herself.

After experiencing the donburi incident, she understood that although she was an expert in meat cooking, her knowledge and handling of many ingredients had obvious shortcomings.

Therefore, she has been working hard to create and develop more perfect meat dishes in the direction specified by Zhang Fan!

……

have to say.

The feeling of eating meat is really very happy.

The key is that the light and thin beef slices are spicy and crispy when you put them in your mouth, and the more you chew, the more delicious they become.

Finally, after some recollection, Mito Yumei finally ordered two more bowls of rice to eat with a plate of Dengying beef.

beef.

Really thin.

It tastes very tender and tender, with a very rich flavor.

The rice grains are also very plump and delicious even if dipped in some soup!
In the end, Mito Yumei wiped her mouth, had enough to eat and drank, and couldn't help but show her unfinished expression.

The visual beauty of food can definitely add flavor, just like the beef slices of Dengying Beef, no matter how you place it on the plate, it still looks like a slice of beef when viewed horizontally or vertically.

However, Zhang Fan was able to cut it as thin as a cicada's wings and present it in such a light and thin form. The most important thing is that it is very delicious.

This naturally made Mito Yumei completely unexpected.

……

Izakaya.

Compared with those star-rated restaurants recognized by WGO, it is inevitably ordinary and small, but it is not mediocre.

The sake provided may not be the most expensive Judai, and the menu prices may not be eye-popping.

However, we can still present ingenious dishes through excellent processing of ingredients, and pair them with delicious sake to allow guests to enjoy a moment of relaxation while enjoying pleasant conversation.

This kind of atmosphere.

This experience.

Again, all exquisite.

This is a feeling of relaxation that belongs to every diner.

“Shopkeeper, what’s delicious?”

"Continued Cup?"

These are the most common topics in izakaya.

In addition, the "L" shaped cooking table makes it easier for the owner and the diners to communicate, even though some of the diners are here for the first time and even if they don't know each other.

All in all, conversation, wine, and food are the charm of an izakaya, and none of them can be missing!
……

At this moment, add a small piece of raw sea bream, which has a smooth and delicate texture and a sweet flavor.

For Nakiri Shinagi, perhaps a sea bream made into sashimi is the best place for this kind of food, no one.

fresh.

slip.

exquisite.

The cut fish belly is white with a hint of pink, and the oil is evenly distributed.

After one bite, the fish belly is fragrant with oil, but still chewy.

Thinking that when she first came to the izakaya, she would be lucky enough to taste Zhang Fan's hot and fresh sea bream cuisine, Shinagi couldn't help but feel full of happiness.

Afterwards, she swallowed and focused her gaze on Nito Hisako, who was busy working at the cash register, as if she had some realization!
"Fei Sha."

"Why do you also work at an izakaya?"

Then, she blinked her bright eyes and couldn't help but asked curiously.

In fact, Nakiri Shinagi should have guessed why she is here.

After all, as a member of the Nakiri family, although she is not a judge of the autumn competition, she is currently in contact with the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, Nakiri Leonora and others, so many people in the academy She is also very clear about things!
"Sanagi...Samagi-sama."

"It's because I lost to Alice's follower in the quarterfinals and felt shameless to see Erina, so... I thought of calming down here at the izakaya."

After collecting the money, Nito Feisako did not dare to neglect Shinagi and actually replied in a panic.

"Follower?"

After searching in my mind, I found that I had no impression of this person.

Nakiri Shinagi could only cough twice in embarrassment and continued: "So, you think you are not qualified enough to be Erina's secretary, right?"

"Correct!"

"I... feel very sorry for her."

Fei Shasha clenched his fists, his eyes showing disappointment.

"oh, I understand now."

Knowing that she was very remorseful and helpless, Nakiri Managi's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

……

God's tongue!
She understands the pain it brings most deeply.

In these years, if it weren't for Anne's dedicated care, she might have died long ago, so she can more or less understand Fei Shasha's work and pressure.

"Hisako, you are a bit like Anne. You are loyal and responsible to me and Erina."

"I know that during the 10 years I ran away from home, you were actually by Erina's side, accompanying her and taking care of her. Therefore, let me, an irresponsible mother, take advantage of this opportunity. Let me say thank you."

Nakiri Shinagi looked at her affectionately, and finally said with a choked tone.

"No, no, no, Shingi-sama, please don't do this."

"It's because I haven't done a good enough job. In fact, I'm really ashamed of Miss Erina. She obviously had high hopes for me, but in the end, I failed to live up to her expectations and let her down!"

Hearing this, Nito Feisako was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands, and then expressed his thoughts again.

"Hey, you!"

"You don't necessarily take Erina's hair too seriously?"

"Although I am very gratified and happy that she has such an important position in your heart, but you have to be a little concerned about your own feelings, right?"

Seeing her always looking like this, Shinagi could only shake his head and sigh!
"I...I can't do it."

Fei Shasha murmured.

"As the secretary, you have to take care of all aspects of her affairs."

"But there must be a prerequisite before taking on this job, that is, you must first handle your own affairs in an orderly manner. When she needs you, you will be there."

"Forget it."

"I think you're just like Annie, a bit stubborn."

"Think about it, you can stay in the izakaya temporarily during this period."

"When you finally figure it out, when you want to come back to Erina, just do it anytime!"

In the end, Nakiri Shinagi could only say this.

Then, she focused her eyes on Zhang Fan again and saw him picking up a clean knife cloth and wiping the Beichen Sirius Blade that he had just finished handling the snapper.

If you look closely, you will see that his eyes are always so soft, yet so focused.

Look back again.

When he found Fei Shasha, he secretly stared at him with the corner of his eyes.

That little face is always flushed.

……

"Fei Shasha, what do you think of this Zhang Fan?"

Nakiri Shinagi, who understood something, hurriedly reached over and asked softly in her ear. "ah?"

"Samagi-sama, what are you talking about?"

Fei Shasha regained consciousness, and her delicate and pretty face suddenly turned redder.

She probably didn't expect that Nakiri Shinagi would discuss this issue in front of her at this time.

"I know that the reason why you chose to run away from home and temporarily seek refuge in Zhang Fan's izakaya is because you don't dare to face Erina. But the most important thing is that you also have the idea of ​​living with Zhang Fan. Bar?"

Seeing this situation, Nakiri Managi couldn't help but have some teasing in his eyes and continued.

Hisako, who was hit by the words, said in a panic: "Samagi-sama, this is something that just...doesn't happen!"

"I can guarantee that I have absolutely no intention of living with Zhang Fan."

"The reason why I stayed in the izakaya temporarily was because I left in a hurry and didn't make any preparations or plans, so I could only... I could only..."

"Really?"

Nakiri Shinagi asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh, Master Managi, you...you should stop teasing me!"

Shinto Hisako responded in a squeaky voice.

……

Moo moo!
Moo moo!
At this moment, I saw a Tajima cow storming into the izakaya angrily.

It was extremely restless, especially its perceptible bad temper, which frightened many people in an instant.

"what?"

"This...where did the cow come from?"

"Wow, that looks like Tajima beef. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes here at the izakaya!"

"No, no, no, it's rushing towards us."

"What a murderer!"

Suddenly, the diners in the entire izakaya were in a frenzy.

"No, my cow..."

Mito Yumei, who suddenly realized something, wanted to grab the Tajima cow.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to rush forward, she saw Zhang Fan striding up to the cow, and then, with everyone stunned, he reached out to touch its head.

"Be good! Don't run around."

"I will let you sleep easily forever later, and I will never let you leave this world with fear and pain."

Probably after understanding Zhang Fan's words, the Tajima cow slowly calmed down.

Immediately, it mooed at Zhang Fan a few more times.

"what?"

"Tamed?"

Mito Yumei's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

In fact, it wasn't just her, but also Nakiri Shinagi, Kikuchichi Engo, Kadozaki Taki, Nito Hiisako, etc., including all the diners present, were also surprised by this scene!

……

Well known.

The most expensive beef in the world comes from the neon country of Kobe and is one of the nine most expensive foods in the world.

As the largest beef supplier in Neon Country, Mito family naturally has no shortage of high-quality Kobe beef!

Kobe beef.

It is a type of black Tajima cow.

It is named after it is mainly produced in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture.

It is said that the market price of good Kobe beef is more than 2000 yuan per kilogram...

What’s even more frightening is that in Neon Country, of the 200 million cattle eaten every year, only about 3000 can meet the “Kobe” standard.

Therefore, this kind of Kobe beef is really rare, hard to come by, and you may not be able to eat it if you have money.

The reason why the number is so small is because only cattle that are born, raised, and slaughtered in specific places can obtain certification.

And, in the process of cultivation.

You will also be fed hops, listened to classical music, and given artificial massage.

"Mito, you should give this cow to a customer, right?"

"But now it broke away from the truck and broke into an izakaya. How about... how about you just sell it to me?"

"it is good!"

"I have the final say on this matter!"

Mito Yumei didn't hesitate at all.

After all, the weight of an adult Tajima cow like this is basically 1500 kilograms, and based on the price of 1 yuan per kilogram, it should be at least about 2000 million.

……

After completing the transaction.

Zhang Fan then took out an ordinary Quezhiyun kitchen knife.

The sharp blade kept flashing with sharp light, making Mito Yumei and others confused.

You know, this Tajima cow is quite large. If it is handled with an ordinary kitchen knife...

"no!"

"He...he's going to slaughter the cow here?"

Mito Yumei realized something and hurriedly covered her mouth in fear.

However, horses and cattle are very expensive, and they usually need to be handled by professionals, because if you are not careful, the blood of the beef will blend with the meat.

Not only does it affect the quality of the meat, it also gives the piece of meat a bloody smell that is difficult to get rid of, seriously affecting the taste of the food!
In Mito Yumei's view.

Zhang Fan, although he is a very good chef.

But with his ability, it was absolutely impossible to perfectly handle Tajima-gyu.

At least in theory, this is:
Arabian Nights!

However, at this moment, Zhang Fan's black eyes actually emitted red light.

In the surprised expressions of Nakiri Shinagi and Hisako next to him, he was actually holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, just like those soldiers on the ancient battlefield, with an imposing manner.

"Ability?"

"Is his superpower starting to appear?"

Nakiri Managi was suddenly stunned!
……

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Only a few rays of cold light flashed through.

Zhang Fan quickly put the kitchen knife back, then took out a talisman and stuck it on Tajima Niu's forehead.

"Goodness is goodness."

"Life and death are destiny, everything is determined."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fan closed his eyes, clasped his hands and murmured.

The Tajima cow on the ground still maintained its original appearance, as if it was unscathed.

Such a situation naturally made everyone even more confused. There was just the sound of a kitchen knife cutting beef, but why did this cow seem to be doing nothing?

"what happened?"

"Isn't this cow not cut yet?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan shook his head and smiled: "No, it has been cut!"

"Has it been cut?"

"But this Tajima cow, look at..."

Just when Mito Yumei was about to speak, her eyes immediately widened.

Just hearing the sound of "papapapa", the cow bloomed like a flower, and all the meat inside stretched outwards, exposing the internal organs, spine, etc.

In fact, not a drop of blood was shed from this completely dismembered cow.

"hiss!"

"This...how is this possible?"

On the side, Nakiri Shinagi's eyes widened in disbelief. (End of chapter)
