Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 61 Generous Rewards

late at night.

At 12 o'clock, the izakaya closed.

As an executive, Anne finally chose to leave after paying the bill.

Mujiuzhienguo, who had not yet left, continued to drink.

Perhaps because Zhang Fan's Wensi tofu cuisine had just received high praise from Annie, she was deeply shocked again.

"Kikuchi."

"Looking at how delicate and weak you are, you have a good capacity for drinking!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fan was slightly surprised.

"Yeah! I remember when I was in Totsuki, I often drank secretly with Kadozaki Taki!"

Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo's beautiful eyes were a little hazy at this time, as if they were covered with a layer of mist.

Obviously, that's what she said, but she was obviously too drunk!

……

In Zhang Fan's memory.

Taki Kadozaki, this character who rarely appears, seems to be a Totsuki student who is one year older than Kikuchichi.

She also graduated from Totsuki as the second among the top ten, and within two years of graduation, she ran a Western-style restaurant "Taki·Amarillo" by herself.

Perhaps it's because the two have always had a good relationship and their life trajectories are similar.

Therefore, both of them are praised by people as: although they are young, they can compete with professional star chefs!

At this time, Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo's confused eyes could not help but reveal a look of envy as he looked deeply at Zhang Fan.

"The owner."

"I really didn't expect that."

"Your cooking can conquer Annie."

"She is a first-class executive. There are very few chefs in this world who can satisfy her appetite with food!"

"Just talking about me, in the field of French cuisine, there are relatively few people in the entire Neon Kingdom who can surpass me."

"But even so, my cooking still cannot satisfy Anne."

After saying that, Mu Jiuzhi, who was feeling puzzled, continued to take the wine glass and poured the remaining half of the glass into his mouth.

Finally, when Mu Jiuzhi was drunk and in a daze, Zhang Fan replied: "Mu Jiuzhi, all the izakayas are closed now, you have to go back..."

talk!
Not finished yet.

Mu Jiuzhi actually raised his drunken eyes and smiled slightly at him.

Then there was a "bang" sound, and his head suddenly tilted down and fell on the table!
Zhang Fan: ? ? ?
……

night.

Gradually it becomes deeper and darker!
Although I didn't expect Kikuchuan Kao to get drunk in the izakaya, but fortunately, Haru Kautei is right next door, very close.

Therefore, Zhang Fan had no intention of leaving Mu Jiuzhi here overnight.

He picked up the drunk Kichiengo, then lowered his head and stopped moving.

Under the dim light, her pretty face and her originally simple and innocent face... were already blushing!

Obviously, this drunk appearance inevitably has an indescribable charm.

As a result, Zhang Fan was slightly stunned!
"Kikuchi."

"It's really getting late, shall I take you to the Rejuvenation Fruit Pavilion?"

"Hmm... um... thank you, shopkeeper!"

After gently opening his eyes and saying some words in a daze, Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo fell asleep directly in Zhang Fan's arms again.

In the end, Zhang Fan, who felt helpless, could only hold her and send her back to Chunguo Pavilion. …

"Ding dong!"

"Successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 pufferfish* and 60 -1°C quick-freezing cabinet."

"Congratulations to the host for successfully increasing the guest flow of the izakaya to more than 24 people within 80 hours, and successfully obtained the recipes of Buddha Jumping over the Wall, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, and the cooking skills of Ji Knife!"

After returning to the izakaya from Chunguo Pavilion, Zhang Fan began to hear the system's voice in his mind.

In general, the rewards received after signing in and completing the task are quite generous.

The first is 10 puffer fish, which is a highly poisonous ingredient.

In its body, there is a kind of tetrodotoxin, also known as TTX, which is a neurotoxin!
Readers of "Conan" who like to watch the Grim Reaper kid killing people wherever he goes should all know that pufferfish is thousands of times more toxic than cyanide, and only 0.5 milligrams can kill someone!
Therefore, the processing of pufferfish requires a great test of the chef’s professionalism.

Even in Neon Country, chefs are required to pass a written examination and a technical examination to obtain a fugu cooking license before they can legally cook fugu!

As the saying goes:
If you don’t eat pufferfish, you don’t know the taste of fish.

Eating pufferfish makes all fish tasteless.

Although puffer fish are very poisonous, they are fine as long as they are handled properly.

Moreover, the puffer fish itself is extremely delicious, and people always like to pursue excitement and novelty.

Therefore, due to various factors, puffer fish is also a very popular delicacy around the world!
……

Well known.

High-end ingredients such as tuna, salmon, puffer fish, etc.

How to maintain its delicious taste is always a very difficult problem!

This -60°C quick freezing cabinet can quickly freeze in ultra-low temperature environments, gradually reducing the core temperature of the fish body to below -60°C.

This temperature completely solidifies the moisture in the fish meat and avoids quality changes caused by moisture flow.

What's even more amazing is that this freezing method can also ensure the color of the fish and avoid the browning and acidification that makes people afraid to eat it.

In short, this quick-freezing cabinet perfectly ensures the freshness and taste of the ingredients, and also saves Zhang Fan a lot of unnecessary trouble!
Ah!
then.

They are Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and Squirrel Mandarin Fish, two brand new recipes!

Needless to say, Buddha jumped over the wall.

If there are two most famous Chinese dishes in the world, which ones are they?

Then, there will definitely be many people choosing Mapo Tofu and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

Buddha Tiao Qiang, which is made from a variety of precious seafood and meat ingredients and simmered over a slow fire, has a soft and tender texture and a rich meaty flavor, so it is known as "the best soup in the world".

As for the last squirrel fish, it is a traditional famous dish of Jiangsu cuisine.

Its origin is still related to Emperor Qianlong.

When this old man Shiquan went to the south of the Yangtze River, he stopped for dinner at Songhe Tower. He happened to see many mandarin fish swimming in the lake, so he quickly asked someone to bring them to eat.

At that time, this kind of mandarin fish was used as a sacrifice to worship the gods, and the local people did not dare to eat it.

But it was hard to violate the sacred order, so the errand boy had to discuss it with the chef.

Finally, the chef came up with a good idea to use only the fish head as a mouse to avoid the sin of "sacred fish".

And when a plate of squirrel mandarin fish was brought to Emperor Qianlong, he could actually hear the fish squeaking, which was very similar to the sound of a squirrel!

Looking carefully, the mandarin fish that is about a foot long is standing on the plate with its head and tail raised. The body of the fish has been removed from the bones and is covered with a knife. It is very beautiful.

Afterwards, Qianlong ate it and praised it repeatedly, expressing that he liked it very much.

Since then, Squirrel Queyu has become famous all over the world.
