Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Zhang Ailing once said:
"Tasty food is the most basic art of life"

The European-style desserts with exquisite shapes and rich taste are really addictive.

There are three layers of burnt-yellow puff pastry, which look like beach shells. Each piece of puff pastry is like a carefully carved work of art!
The middle is covered with fragrant and sweet vanilla cream and custard sauce.

The color is golden and attractive.

Layers upon layers, rolling like ocean waves.

The thousand-feuille puff pastry crumbled as soon as it entered your mouth, and the rich aroma of butter filled your mouth. I felt nothing but happiness.

The texture is as light as a cicada's wings and is always crispy and refreshing. There is a softness hidden under the crispy skin. The fragrance of the sandwich fills the mouth. It is so crispy that the crumbs fall down when you bite into it.

……

“The principle of puff pastry.”

“The dough is wrapped in fat and folded repeatedly to form hundreds of layers of dough, butter, and dough.”

“And each layer of the crust is super crispy and fluffy.”

"In terms of taste, it is crispy, fragrant, crispy, burnt, and sweet, all of which are indispensable."

"The golden puff pastry is tightly layered and has an excellent buttery aroma that is slightly salty but not sweet, so that you can make a clicking sound every time you take a bite."

"After the almond slices are roasted, the rich aroma exudes will melt in your mouth and you will be captured in minutes!"

After only eating a little bit, Leonora praised Tacomi's shell puff pastry dish.

Of course, paired with a cup of coffee, it is simply a perfect refreshment, making people temporarily forget about the calories and silently think to themselves:

Just eat one!
Yes, just eat one!
……

In 1492, Columbus discovered the American continent.

The sugar and cocoa beans he brought back from the "New World" directly led to a revolution in pastry making.

Until then, honey was the only sweetener available to pastry chefs. As people became more aware of and used sugar, baking and dessert making became more complex, and new recipes began to be invented.

Many of the more basic pastries we know today first appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Thousand-layer puff pastry is one of them.

In fact, Tacomi's shell mille-feuille pastry is a good example of how Western desserts incorporate architectural elements into the production process.

Its exquisite production technology will fully reflect the characteristics of the dessert.

After that, it was Ryo Hayama’s turn for dessert dishes:
Hawthorn Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls!
As soon as it was served, it was wrapped in a rich cinnamon aroma that quickly filled the entire competition venue.

"Is this a cinnamon roll?"

Kageura Hisao, the director of the Shokuki Administration Bureau, couldn't help but move the tip of his nose and said in shock.

Then, he quickly took a closer look and found that the entire cinnamon roll was covered with a thick layer of chocolate, like a mini mountain with a chocolate river flowing through it.

Ah!
In the traditional sense.

Cinnamon rolls are high in fat and carbohydrates, with one cinnamon roll containing 880 calories.

Therefore, in order to eat healthier, Ryo Hayama adjusted the products.

Not to mention that it is purely handmade, the cinnamon used is from the cinnamon tree in the tropical rainforest of Indonesia, which makes it look even more attractive.

Of course, Ryo Hayama, who is good at spices, does not focus entirely on desserts. Throughout the cinnamon roll, the rich aroma of chocolate comes out, with a light sweetness and slight bitterness, while the spiciness of cinnamon is also gradually emerging.

At the end, the sweet and sour aroma of hawthorn adds a touch of freshness to the entire dessert!
……

One bite, and the thick chocolate shell melts in your mouth.

A burst of rich sweetness bursts out instantly, putting people in a sweet dream.

Then, the spicy scent of cinnamon unintentionally conveys warmth, perfectly matching the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn.

From the outside to the inside, each layer has a different texture and taste. They progress layer by layer and echo each other. Every time they are eaten in the mouth, they bring new exploration and discovery.

As a result, the commander-in-chief and others were filled with astonishment.

Although Tacomi’s shell mille-feuille is not bad at all.

He himself is good at using Italian-style processing methods and integrating them into various cooking themes for innovation.

But it cannot be denied that he was still a little inferior in front of Ryo Hayama. Therefore, with the end of the review and preparation stage, the results of the fourth round came out:

3:0
The winner, Ryo Hayama!
……

“The puff pastry soup last time was so amazing, it’s still fresh in my memory!”

"However, I really didn't expect that he could make a more advanced cinnamon roll dessert in the quarterfinals."

Jingpu Jiu Shang couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, judging from his cooking skills."

"Maybe he will be the strongest opponent Alice will encounter in the autumn selection!"

Looking deeply at the empty plate in front of her, Leonora Nakiri thought for a moment, and finally agreed.

"Well, it's just that he seems to be too obsessed with certain things. If I can't think of any accident, he will easily go astray in the future." The commander-in-chief's eyes flashed.

The three judges were all shocked by Ryo Hayama's performance.

But their evaluations and thoughts about him are completely different.

With the official end of the fourth round, the two-day quarterfinals finally came to an end.

Then, there is the list of the top four contestants. They are:

Kurokiba Ryo.

Nakiri Alice.

Yukihira Soma.

Ryo Hayama.

In a week, these four people will compete in the semi-finals at Yuanyue Holy Land [between the moon and the sky], namely:
The final!
……

In the early morning, the shimmering light is like a delicate brush stroke, gently tracing the outline of the earth.

There is a fresh breath in the air, which seems to whisper to people the hope and vitality of a new day.

The sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the curtains, warm and soft.

Fei Shasha slowly opened his eyes.

Those drowsy bright eyes seemed to contain lingering fatigue, but they were so beautiful that they would make all the flowers feel ashamed.

She moved slightly, feeling particularly lazy and comfortable.

Then, she walked out of bed barefoot and felt a little cool when she stepped on the soft carpet.

I walked to the window and opened it, and a breath of fresh air came into my face, mixed with the unique fragrance of the morning. I couldn't help but take a deep breath, and I felt more energetic!
……

After that, she walked out of the room and saw Zhang Fan coming out of the next room.

The two of them looked at each other inadvertently. Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said proactively: "Are you awake?"

"Just...just woke up!"

Maybe it's because I just woke up.

Fei Sha's voice was a little lazy and hoarse.

"Did you sleep well?"

Zhang Fan said with concern.

"It's not very good. It's probably the first time I'm not living in Totsuki Academy. I always feel that the quality of sleep is very poor!" Hisako, whose hair was disheveled, did look a little tired.

"Okay, then you continue to rest and I will make breakfast for you. Then when you have rested enough, we will go shopping together."

"Well, that's all it can do!"

Hearing this, Fei Shasha yawned and replied in a daze.

……

The urban area is always lively and prosperous.

In addition to the food street filled with various snacks, restaurants and restaurants, there is also a commercial street immersed in jewels!
Especially in the early morning, various exquisite and unique shops start their business for a new day.

Various billboards, various propaganda sounds, various displays of exquisite products...

It can attract countless pedestrians to stop and sightsee.

At this moment, in the huge crowd, Nito Feishako, who was following Zhang Fan, secretly glanced at him from time to time.

She found that his eyes always looked back towards her, which made her face turn red and her heart wander slightly!

For a long time, she has been taking care of Erina as a secretary. She is often busy with various trivial matters every day, which leads to her rarely going shopping.

Except for Erina's recent obsession with "shoujo" comics, she had the opportunity to go shopping in Akihabara.

Girls!
Deep down I still like shopping.

What's more, she just checked into the izakaya in a hurry yesterday, and many things were not ready, such as some cosmetics, clothes and the like.

Even when she went out just now, she just took out a set of comfortable clothes from her suitcase and put them on.

……

"Ok?"

"What are you doing standing there?"

"Don't you want to buy some pajamas and clothes for daily use? Come on, let's go. There is a women's clothing store in front. I will take you to buy it."

Looking at the absent-minded Shinto Hisako, Zhang Fan urged.

Knowing that she had not yet gotten over the psychological shadow of losing in the autumn selection, Zhang Fancai took advantage of his break during the day and planned to go shopping with her, hoping that she could temporarily forget these worries and be a little happier!

However, I don’t know if she is a little shy or a little dissatisfied, but she is only shopping but not buying?
"I said, what on earth do you want to buy?"

"If you like any clothes, just tell me."

After walking around with her for an hour, their hands were still empty, and Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel speechless.

"I just think... if we go shopping together to buy clothes like this, in the eyes of others, especially the clerks in clothing stores, will we be mistaken for a couple?"

Fei Shasha glanced at Zhang Fan slightly and said with a slight blush on his face.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan's lips curled up slightly, feeling helpless.

A girl like Dongxu is indeed a strange creature. You never know what she is thinking in her mind sometimes?
……

At this time, Fei Shasha's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the initiative to drag Zhang Fan into a women's clothing store.

The most conspicuous spot in the store was a latest model of suspender dress. The skirt was covered with diamonds, making it look like a sky full of stars. It was so beautiful that it was hard not to arouse her heart.

"So beautiful!"

Staring with shining eyes, Fei Shasha looked very fond of it at this time.

"It's really beautiful. It should suit you well."

Zhang Fan said.

He wasn't trying to make her happy, but this skirt was very suitable for a delicate little girl like her.

Nito Hisako was naturally a little moved, but after thinking again and again, he could only shake his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's forget it, right?"

"This kind of long skirt is suitable for some important occasions. I'm already staying in an izakaya temporarily and I have to help you work at night. How can I wear this kind of skirt to work every day?"

"Ha! How can you think so?"

"You are free to wear whatever clothes you want, and I have no right to restrain you!"

Zhang Fan said with a smile.

Fei Shasha's soft and bright eyes turned slightly.

Then she plucked up the courage and tentatively asked the clerk if she could try on this skirt.

The clerk, with a professional smile, said yes to her!

……

Finally, as the curtain of the store's costume change gradually opened.

Fei Shasha appeared in front of Zhang Fan wearing this somewhat dazzling starry sky skirt.

She has short pink and purple hair, brown eyes, a small round face, and is cute... It should be said that her appearance and figure are among the best in Yuanyue.

She was even said to be "the most orthodox beautiful girl".

It’s not excessive at all.

After all, noble ladies like Erina Nakiri are rare in reality.

Moreover, although her light has always overshadowed Fei Sha, she is like a rose with thorns, which can only be watched from a distance but cannot be touched up close!
Look carefully at this starry sky dress.

Spread out in layers from the waist down, like stars dotting the sky.

Further up, at the collarbone, the snow-white skin seems to shine with a layer of radiance under the light.

This was probably Fei Shasha's first time wearing such a skirt in her life, and it was in front of Zhang Fan, so her expression and behavior were inevitably a little uncomfortable and a little more restrained.

Finally, Zhang Fan walked slowly to her side, walked around her for a few times, looked up and down, and finally couldn't help but admired: "I can't believe this skirt matches you very well. , it looks so beautiful to wear!”

"Pretty?"

"It seems...that's it, right?"

Being praised by Zhang Fan for her beauty, Fei Shasha must be very happy in her heart.

Any girl should be very concerned about her appearance and figure, and her temperament is indeed a bit more feminine than many girls.

Then, this starry sky dress showed her softness as a little girl to the extreme!

……

Afterwards, Fei Shasha stood in front of the mirror and looked at his own image carefully.

I found that she looked elegant and generous in the mirror wearing this new dress, as if her whole temperament had improved a lot.

"Oh, so I am so good-looking?"

Feisha covered her mouth in surprise and decided to add this dress to her wardrobe.

Finally, both of them walked out of the women's clothing store, and she had already changed back into her casual clothes, but she was holding the shopping bag of the starry sky skirt in her hand.

Apparently she bought this skirt.

"Actually, you don't need to change it back. It's better to wear it directly."

Zhang Fan couldn't help but say something.

"No, I don't want others to see it." Unexpectedly, Fei Shasha pouted and said cutely.

Hey!
Knew it!
Girls are so unpredictable! (End of chapter)
