Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 73 The two eldest ladies of the Nakiri family
As in:

Wife cake has no wife.

Fish-flavored shredded pork has no fish.

The stocking milk tea does not come with stockings.

There is no money in the wallet.

If the Buddha jumps over the wall, there will definitely be no Buddha inside.

But the most outstanding thing about this dish is the aroma.

The reason why it is fragrant is that it is made of 18 main ingredients such as sheep elbow, pork belly, hoof tip, tendon, abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, scallop, etc., and 12 auxiliary ingredients such as wolfberry, longan, shiitake mushroom, bamboo shoot tip, and razor clam. Made!

It is no exaggeration to say that such a magnificent dish.

If you look through the recipes of all Chinese cuisines, there are few examples!
……

"Shopkeeper Zhang."

"So you're doing Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?"

At this time, Kokuchi Engo, who had just entered the izakaya, began to stare at the Buddha jumping over the wall with his big round eyes on the dining table.

And the permeating rich fragrance kept arousing the greed in her stomach, making her swallow involuntarily.

"Ok?"

"Mikikichi?"

"Your nose is very sensitive."

Seeing her greedy look, Zhang Fan just smiled angrily and asked, "He's here, how about we sit down and eat together?"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Mu Jiuzhi was stunned.

She didn't expect that Zhang Fan would take the initiative to invite her instead of waiting for her to speak first and have dinner here without shame.

This situation inevitably made her feel very touched.

"Okay, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is enough for four or five people. Even if you and I eat it together, we will definitely not be able to finish it."

After saying that, Zhang Fan handed a pair of bowls and chopsticks to her.

Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo, who had always been shy, did not refuse at this time. She took the bowls and chopsticks and sat next to Zhang Fan.

Looking carefully, the rich and diverse ingredients in the jar are steaming hot and the soup is rich and very tempting!

Therefore, under Zhang Fan's gaze, she began to taste it eagerly.

……

Escape into the mouth.

The first thing you feel is the texture, which is tender and tender, with a rich meaty aroma!

And the strong and rich fragrance always surrounds his mouth, making Mujiuzhi feel that this taste experience is unprecedented.

Refreshing wine!

Thick meat!

Fresh and sweet seafood!
There are also a variety of toppings with different flavors!
After simmering for a long time, these ingredients finally penetrate each other and the flavors blend together.

As a result, Mu Jiuzhi, who only chewed a few mouthfuls with his teeth, immediately became fascinated by it, both drunk and tipsy!
In fact.

Among the major cuisines in China.

Fujian cuisine is indeed not famous.

The only thing that can make people familiar with it is this hard dish that "Buddha would jump over the wall after smelling it".

Even just talking about Cantonese food, if you ask the local Cantonese, they can name one representative dish after another, such as:
White-cut chicken, Laohuo soup, crispy roast goose, braised squab, honey barbecued pork...

When it comes to Fujian cuisine, many people probably only think of the words "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".

But in Mu Jiuzhi's eyes, the ingredients, ingredients and cooking utensils used in Zhang Fan's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall are undoubtedly the most authentic.

Dried abalone, dried sea cucumber, dried shark's fin, dried yak hide glue, king oyster mushroom, tendons, flower mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs...

Just these named ingredients are enough to make Mu Jiuzhi feel "expensive".

Its level of luxury and sophistication are definitely not inferior to the noble French cuisine at her Chunguo Pavilion restaurant!
……

"Hmm~" "It's really delicious!"

"There are a lot of ingredients used, and most of them are not cheap."

“Take a spoonful and you’ll see chicken, tendons, king oyster mushrooms, sea cucumbers, abalone, shiitake mushrooms… It can be said that the ingredients are very honest!”

"But when I taste it, I don't feel that the taste of any one ingredient will encroach on the other ingredients; nor does it taste complicated or messy. On the contrary, the flavors of various ingredients can harmonize with each other, which is quite pure!"

"The whole dish has a common meaty taste while maintaining its own characteristics."

After a long time, Mujiu Zhiyuanguo slowly opened his eyes.

She couldn't help but lick a drop of soup from the corner of her mouth, and then she still had more to say.

She had been lucky enough to taste this precious dish like Buddha Jumping Over the Wall before, and she was once curious about how this rich yellow soup was brewed.
At first, she thought it was chicken soup.

Later, when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that only the layer of oil on the surface of the chicken soup is yellow, but the soup itself is not yellow.

In other words, chicken fat is yellow.

But it’s not certain whether the soup made with chicken fat will be yellow!
If there is less oil and more soup, the soup will naturally not be yellow; if there is more oil and less soup, it will indeed form a yellow juice effect.

However, chicken fat is also oil. If you use too much chicken fat, the soup will become very greasy... which obviously cannot be used to make Buddha Jump Over the Wall.

So, is "Gardenia Yellow", one of the 12 ingredients, playing a role?
"Hey!"

"The owner."

"Is this soup made with chicken broth?"

In the end, she couldn't figure it out and could only ask Zhang Fan curiously.

"No."

“Chicken soup is not suitable for making Buddha Jump Over the Wall.”

"You want to know where the yellow color of this soup comes from, right?"

"Actually, when simmering, the Shaoxing Huadiao wine, which is unique to China, is added."

“This kind of wine is made from fine glutinous rice, high-quality malt koji, and clear lake water, and then brewed using ancient methods.”

"After heating, the alcohol content inside will be greatly reduced, so the overall taste will become mellow and thick, making it easy to drink."

"liquor?"

"Huadiao wine?"

After hearing Zhang Fan's explanation, Mu Jiuzhi began to think about it.

Finally, her bright eyes seemed to have enlightenment, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "It seems so! When you eat it, you can really detect the aroma of wine!"

"I see."

"The reason why this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish is so fragrant the moment you open the altar."

"Although there are many precious ingredients used, the more important thing is this Shaoxing wine!"

some people.

A bowl of white rice will satisfy everyone.

And some people think that even the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, which is rich in materials, is ordinary!

But she, Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo, would never refuse Zhang Fan's cooking, and she even liked it very much.

……

The dark sky is dotted with stars.

They are like naughty children, often blinking and peeking at everything in the world!
"Alice."

"Can you take it easy?"

"But, Erina, I really want to meet the mysterious shopkeeper."

"His izakaya is not open until 7 o'clock, so it's useless for you to be anxious at this time..."

"Huh? Why is the door of the izakaya open and the lights inside are still on?"

"Does it mean it's open early today?"

At this time, Nakiri Alice and Nakiri Erina, the two eldest ladies of the Nakiri family, arrived at the izakaya in advance.
