Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 42 Ji Xing Lao and the Celebration Banquet
The next day.

7pm exactly.

Zhang Fan, lit up the red lantern sign outside.

The advertising words of "Izakaya" look warm and dazzling, like a quiet harbor under the night!

When you open the wooden door, a complex mixed aroma will hit your nostrils instantly. It is the smell of sake, kebabs, fresh seafood, and other dishes that go with drinks!
And this kind of fragrance seems to put people in a "small world" far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The diners at the izakaya are all kinds of people!
They come from different age groups, different professions, and different interests and hobbies.

Among them are young people, old people, office workers, business bosses, teachers and scholars, artists, and musicians chasing their dreams...

Although they have different identities and backgrounds, in the specific place of the izakaya, they can all put aside their worldly troubles and share each other's stories and emotions with each other.

after all.

Most people are humble.

They are like a drop of water in the ocean, unable to fight against the world.

But at night, they can have some comfort for themselves!
……

food!

Drinks!

It will always be the soul of the izakaya and the medium for people to communicate with each other!
"Come, come!"

"We have tea instead of wine."

"Congratulations to Senior Isekhui from our dormitory for being promoted to the seventh seat of the current top ten!"

At this time, Yoshino Yuki, who was in the izakaya, held up a tea cup and shouted happily to everyone.

Immediately, after clinking glasses with everyone, she hurriedly took a sip of fragrant tea.

When you first enter your mouth, you can only feel the fragrance of the tea is very refreshing, but at the same time, it feels very mellow and sweet. It feels natural and harmonious, and the aftertaste is refreshing!

"Well!"

"I really didn't expect it."

"The floral tea provided by this izakaya is so sweet!"

"really!"

"I want to brew such a good scented tea."

“Not only does it require good-quality tea, but you also have to put a lot of effort into the water temperature, brewing time, etc.!”

On the side, Ryoko Sakaki, who also took a sip, thought for a moment and then said calmly.

"so!"

"I just can't figure it out."

"An event like a celebration banquet can be held in any hotel. Why do you have to borrow my room?"

Zenji Marui, who was wearing glasses, started to look aggrieved as soon as he put down his tea cup.

……

Polestar Liao.

This is the only boarding facility in the entire Totsuki Academy.

Therefore, there are some boarding students in this dormitory, but the number of boarding students is so small that they can all be counted before all ten fingers are stretched out!

The reason why there are so few is that the dormitory is currently managed by a man named "Omidou Fumio".

Students who want to move into the Jiexing dormitory must undergo the dormitory's unique dormitory skills test.

Even for a student like Tadokoro, it took three months to barely pass the dormitory entrance test.

Maybe?
At this time, Tian Suohui's strength was not very good.

But to a certain extent, it still shows that it is not that easy to become a boarding student in the Jiexingliao dormitory!

And among all the dormitory rooms, Room 205 of Zenji Marui has the largest area.At the same time, coupled with his extremely careful personality, he often cleans his room!

Therefore, the group of boarders in the Jixing dormitory would "requisition" his room every time they wanted to have a party.

……

"Ugh!"

"What a headache!"

"Senior Mikuchichi's Chunguotei restaurant closes after 6 o'clock!"

Speaking of this, Yi Sehui looked at everyone with an embarrassed look.During last year's residential training, as a former Totsuki graduate, Kikuchi Sonoko, was invited by Totsuki officials to serve as an assessor.

Yisekhui, who has excellent performance, naturally has some intersection with her!

of course.

It's been a year.

Things have changed, and even he has now become the seventh among the top ten.

In order to celebrate his promotion to the top ten, the boarding students in the Jixing dormitory proposed to hold a celebration banquet.

At first, they wanted to celebrate in Marui Zenji's Room 205, but they encountered strong opposition from him.Helplessly, as the "protagonist" Isekhui remembered this Chunguoting restaurant!

result.

It really backfired.

When they came at 7 o'clock, the restaurant was already closed.

Fortunately, there was an izakaya operating at night next door, so they had no choice but to come here and make do with a celebration party.

I don't know.

This is exactly the choice.

The gears of fate started turning from now on!

……

"Xiaohui!"

"Come on, let's clink glasses too."

"Congratulations on your successful promotion to the upper division with last place!"

Just when the atmosphere seemed to be very lively, the slightly naughty Yuki Yoshino seemed to have some thoughts when she saw that Tadokoro was always silent, so she took the initiative to chat!
"Yoshino, are you praising me or hurting me with your words?"

Seeing Yoshino Yuki approaching her, Tazoe reacted slightly and couldn't help but smile awkwardly!

Well known.

Totsuki Academy itself is a Saryo cooking school where promotion and graduation are extremely difficult!
But unlike the higher education departments that focus on practice, the various assessments in the junior high school are actually some simple theoretical knowledge, such as: cooking theory, nutrition, public health, introduction to cultivation, business studies, management, etc.!

Therefore, students only need to master these basic theories, and then it will be easy to pass the entrance examination.

Tian Suo Hui, even though she always looks very cowardly, she still has some skills.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to pass Omidou Fumio's test in the dormitory trial!
however.

Do not know why.

As soon as I arrived at the examination room and got the test paper.

Her head was like mush, and she felt confused. In the end, she had no choice but to finish in last place and barely managed to enter high school!

……

Tempura!
The name of this dish may seem a bit fancy, but it is just a dish fried in batter.

The owner, Fan, first prepares some fresh seasonal vegetables, such as dried persimmons, dried bananas, etc., and then also prepares seafood products such as conger eels, cuttlefish, oysters, etc.!

then.

Then use flour, eggs and water to make a batter.

Among them, choose low-gluten flour with a gluten content of less than 10%.

Finally, the proportions between them are 15% eggs, 35% flour, and 50% water.

After making the batter, quickly smear all the vegetables and seafood products with the batter, and then put it in the pan!

Because the consistency of the batter is not very high, if the oil temperature is too low, the batter will fall off. If the oil temperature is too high, the ingredients inside will burn. Therefore, the most challenging aspect of tempura is the skill of controlling the heat!
last of the last.

Do not throw away any ingredients that are stained with batter.

Coat it with egg liquid, dip it in bread crumbs, fry it in a pan until golden and crispy, control the oil and take it out. The elderly and children love to eat it, and the kids next door are crying with envy!

"Several!"

"Your tempura is ready!"

"The remaining dishes will have to wait for a while!"

Afterwards, Zhang Fan placed a plate of tempura with various ingredients in front of the boarders.
