Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 7 This is the only one in the world

As a foodie.

Kobayashi Gentian likes to eat, but liking is only a basic condition!
On this basis, the further requirement is to know how to eat!

Understand!
It's a particular word.

Understand the ingredients, various cooking methods, and the food culture and taste habits of different countries, cities, and regions!And also know how different the same dish will be in the hands of different chefs!

After all.

It is in the heart of Kobayashi Ryodan.

She is always interested in unknown foods and cuisines!

And this mentality, this deep love for eating, has been silently affecting her life.

She can run a long distance or climb a higher mountain for an unknown ingredient, and she doesn't feel tired!

Therefore, this is why she has a laid back personality.

But at such an age, he has become a master of all kinds of rare ingredients from various countries, and he is now the second among the top ten in Totsuki Academy!
……

In fact.

In the eyes of Kobayashi Gendan.

The most important thing about any dish in this world is the taste!

Take the Thousand Layer Cake, for example, the crispy texture is the most important thing, and the use of 1459 layers of cake crust is inevitably meant to attract attention!

But the smell of green onions, cakes, and meat in the air successfully aroused the greed in her stomach.

So, I was shocked.

She didn't hesitate at all and took a bite of the thousand-layer cake under Zhang Fan's gaze.

"what!"

"No no no!"

As soon as I took a bite, it actually made a "crunching" sound!

Obviously, this is the sound of more than 1000 layers of pie crust and teeth rubbing against each other, and the air being forced out.

Tasted first.

It’s the 1459 layers of crispy crust.

It melts in your mouth instantly, giving you an extremely wonderful taste experience!

And this crispy texture also makes people feel very happy, as if they can feel its deliciousness during chewing.

Afterwards, Kobayashi Ryuden chewed hard with his teeth, but unexpectedly discovered that the thin and crispy pie crust was actually wrapped with a solid filling!
Taking another bite, I tasted butter mixed in again.

This rich layering immediately makes the entire simple thousand-layer cake become quite delicious!
And every time you stir it with your tongue, you can feel the layers of the puff pastry being cut in various directions.

For a moment, the most original dough flavor hidden inside was revealed bit by bit.

then.

Well, there is no more.

All I know is that this unique aroma and taste have always forced Kobayashi RENTAN to chew slowly.

The increasingly rich aroma of chopped green onions began to intertwine with the aroma of the pie crust, coupled with the rich aroma of meat, and she immediately felt the true charm of this kind of thousand-layer pancake!
At this moment, all her worries seemed to be forgotten by her, leaving only this wonderful layer cake!
……

"strangeness!"

"Small black particles scattered on a surface."

"It's not sesame, but...a rare orchid seed seasoning!"

"I see!"

"In the process of making puff pastry, you only need to sprinkle the orchid seeds evenly on the dough, and then roll and fold it."

“When the crust is baked, the orchid seeds will have a crispy texture, which is a perfect match for the crispy crust and rich filling of the puff pastry!”

"In other words, the addition of orchid seeds can further improve the taste of the mille-feuille cake."

"And the unique fragrance of orchid seeds and the crispness of the mille-feuille cake complement each other perfectly!"

"Perfect!"

"What a perfect match!"

"This kind of ordinary thousand-layer cake is so surprising to me!" After coming back to his senses, Ringtong Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh deeply.

To be able to push a humble snack like Thousand Layer Cake to an unprecedented level, the shopkeeper Zhang in front of me is truly a rare culinary genius in the world!
……

"Shopkeeper Zhang."

"I dare say the thousand-layer cake you made is the only one in the world!"

"Hey!"

"It's lucky."

"I, Ryu Kobayashi, can actually eat this kind of extremely crispy pancake snack in my life. I have no regrets in life!"

In the end, Kobayashi Gentian, who was eating the layer cake, did not forget to shoot a rainbow fart at Zhang Fan!
Of course, these words are somewhat exaggerated.

But all in all, this Thousand Layer Pancake breakfast really shocked Kobayashi Ringtong!

"You're not bad either!"

"Be able to rely on your own experience."

"Taste these little black particles sprinkled on the surface, not sesame but orchid seeds."

"Sure enough, as the second among the top ten elites of Totsuki Academy, you are not in vain!"

Zhang Fan, who was also eating the Thousand Layer Pancake, just raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiaolin Gentian, and said calmly.

"Ha ha!"

"I just accidentally learned about the existence of Lan Xiangzi once when I was hunting in the mountains!"

After getting Zhang Fan's approval, Xiaolin Ringtong's pretty little face turned red instantly, and she seemed to feel a little happy in her heart!

"no!"

"I'll give you a compliment."

"Why are you blushing?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at Xiaolin Gentian whose face was flushed.

I thought to myself, it’s really hard to guess a woman’s thoughts!

He just said that her strength is indeed worthy of the reputation of the second place among the top ten, but this sentence can also make her shy?

"what?"

"Where...how can there be?"

Kobayashi Gentian touched his hot face and then quibbled a little.

But just when Zhang Fan wanted to tease her again, Xiaolin Ringtong suddenly turned serious and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang! Your cooking skills have always been recognized by me."

"But I still can't understand. Why don't you go to a broader platform? With your current strength, it is more than enough to be a chef in a five-star hotel!"

However, as soon as he said this, Zhang Fan remained calm and ate the thousand-layer cake in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a clean napkin and wiped his mouth, and then his eyes were fixed on Rgent Kobayashi!
"The owner."

"You...why are you looking at me like that?"

Being stared at by Zhang Fan, Xiaolin Ringtong became increasingly uncomfortable and quickly turned away.

"Gentian."

"What is your pursuit?"

Zhang Fan looked back and asked.

"no!"

"What do I want to pursue?"

"The most I want to do in this life is explore unknown ingredients, taste all the dishes in this world, and continue to enjoy the fun of food, that's all!"

Xiaolin Ringtong was stunned for a moment, and then answered Zhang Fan's question truthfully!
"Actually, I used to be a chef in a five-star hotel."

"But that kind of life is too boring, so now I run this izakaya alone!"

Zhang Fan said calmly again.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Rgentian was completely confused again!
