Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 66 Burgundy Beef Stew
Put the bone-in puffer fish meat into the pot and simmer slowly.

When the time is right, pick it up. The crispy texture makes Kobayashi Routou sigh.

A full feast of pufferfish.

Like an obscure drama!

Whether it's the steaming puffer fish hot pot, the fried puffer fish that looks like a golden piece of jade, or the delicious puffer fish chowder...

Although each dish uses different parts of puffer fish.

But for the delicious Kobayashi gentian, it is a rare and delicious dish.

……

night.

An open izakaya.

Every day there are some strangers who have never been here before, but there are also regular customers who come often.

such as:

After Kobayashi Gentian.

Three female students from Totsuki Jisei Residence also came to the izakaya together!
"Come!"

"Cheers!"

"I wish us in advance to create more brilliance in the new semester!"

At this time, inside the izakaya, the enthusiastic and lively Yoshino Yuki first picked up a cup of scented tea, and after clinking glasses with the two roommates next to her, Ryoko Sakaki and Megumi Tadori, started drinking heavily.

Then, she gently put down the tea cup, with a happy expression on her face!

Then, she glanced sideways at Tazoe. She seemed to be in a bad mood when she saw her, and was always so silent that she didn't even want to say a word.

"Xiaohui!"

"Are you OK?"

Involuntarily, she stretched out her arm and touched Tazoe's arm slightly, looking very concerned!
"Yoshino."

"I'm ok."

Tadokoro was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

Although she is currently promoted to the upper division with last place.

However, the results in the junior high school will not be eliminated because of this, and they will still take effect after school starts!

According to Yueyue's official regulations, when a student receives five consecutive failing grades, he or she will be forcibly dropped out of school without reason.

At this time, Tian Suohui had already "received" 4 failing grades and was on the verge of dropping out of school.

So this means that if she cannot obtain a grade of D or above in the first class after the start of school, she will be dropped from school.

Therefore, as the first semester of school gradually approaches, Tadokoro becomes more and more worried about her future!
……

Throughout the plot of "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater", the word "growth" cannot be avoided.

This can be seen in all the main characters, and the most obvious one is Tian Suohui in front of him.

When she first appeared, she was ranked last in the school, but in the later stages, she quickly grew up to be one of the Totsuki Ten Elites who could stand alone.

Obviously, her upbringing and experience.

It can reflect the advantages and disadvantages of Yuanyue's "elite education".

The pressure brought by the high degree of competition will really force every Totsuki student to grow rapidly, but at the same time, it will continue to destroy the students' mentality!
After all, this kind of competition mechanism, where once you lose, there is absolutely no hope, it can really drive people crazy!

but!
one way or another.

In Zhang Fan's eyes.

This delicate and gentle Tadokoro is indeed a seriously underestimated character!
If Erina's "heroine" halo hadn't been too strong and overshadowed her, she might have been the Totsuki student with the most potential!
……

"The owner."

"Do you have any recommendations for good food tonight?"

"The three of us came together because we all wanted... to have a good meal."

Immediately, Yoshino Yuki raised her head and couldn't help but ask Zhang Fan.

She knew that Tadokoro was worried about what would happen after school started, so she wanted to use the food at the izakaya so that she could enjoy the food and temporarily forget her own worries.

"We have some beef left tonight and a bottle of Burgundy red wine."

"It just so happens that the three of you are here together, so I'm going to cook you a Burgundy red wine beef stew?"

Zhang Fan looked deeply at the listless Tian Suohui over there, pretended to think for a while, and finally replied like this.

"Okay!" "It's up to you, owner."

Yoshino Yuki and Sakaki Ryoko looked at each other in confusion.

They definitely didn't expect that shopkeeper Zhang would take the initiative to recommend a French dish to them.

But thinking that Zhang Fan's cooking skills were so good that he wasn't trying to trick them, so they all nodded in the end.

"Xiaohui."

"What do you mean?"

Yoshino glanced at Tazoe and asked.

"what?"

"I...I have no objection either."

Tadokoro Hui regained consciousness for a moment and quickly replied.

“Innkeeper, let’s bring a big pot of beef stew with Burgundy red wine!”

"it is good!"

"I need to explain it to you in advance."

"This dish needs to be simmered for more than two hours, so you have to wait a little, no, wait a long time."

Finally, Zhang Fan ignored the reactions of Tadokoro Hui and others, and hurriedly turned back to the cooking table, ready to make Burgundy red wine beef stew!
……

to say.

The French's favorite dish.

Probably this Burgundy red wine beef stew.

Even the three world-famous French cuisine ingredients of snails, foie gras and truffles cannot compare with it.

According to traditional recipes, beef stew in red wine is usually left overnight so that it tastes better the next day.

But under the wave of the Internet era, as everyone's life and work pace accelerates, people have to face eating more "fast food".

Therefore, things like red wine braised beef that have been stewed and left for a long time naturally have to be improved!
First, prepare some necessary ingredients, such as:
1 bottle of Burgundy red wine.

beef.

Bacon.

carrot.

mushroom.

onion.

Pearl onions.

Coffee olive oil.

Garlic, dried thyme, bay leaves, parsley and other ingredients.

Then cut the beef into small pieces, cut the mushrooms and carrots into pieces, shred the onions, and cut the bacon into pieces. Then wash the cut beef and absorb the surface moisture.

Add a little olive oil to another pan and fry the beef and bacon until browned on both sides. Add the pickled onions and carrots and stir-fry for a while.

Then mix a little flour, a little salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour it into the cast iron enamel pot!
Then, pour in red wine, thyme, bay leaves, tomato sauce, black pepper, salt, cold water, mushrooms and other ingredients...

When the beef is stewed, add the bacon and continue to simmer over high heat.

At last.

Time passes slowly.

After simmering for 2 hours, the entire fragrant Burgundy red wine beef stew dish is complete!
……

Whoosh!
Zhang Fan has sharp eyes and quick hands.

He quickly turned off the fire, and then slowly opened the lid of the pot in response to everyone's expectations.

Suddenly, water mist rose everywhere, and a particularly strong fragrance burst out quickly.

This almost stunned Tian Suohui and others who were close at hand!

"Three."

“It’s beef bourguignon.”

"I dare to recommend this dish to you, there must be a reason."

"But no matter how much I talk here, it's not as good as what you feel with your mouth, so... please use it slowly!"
