Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 8 The Best Chef

in this world.

There is no shortage of excellent chefs of all kinds, and there are endless ones from all eras!

Especially with the rapid development of the modern catering industry, people's requirements for food are definitely getting higher and higher, and they are becoming more and more tasteful!
Therefore, an excellent chef can have a very high status and influence!
at the same time.

There is another fact that cannot be denied, that is:
In the pursuit of the fast food era, many chain catering companies have begun to establish exclusive kitchens.

then.

Unified cooking prep!

Unified delivery!
Even the workmanship and procedures of cooking dishes must be unified to ensure consistent taste, and the dishes are standardized!

Many chefs who are motivated by profit have gradually abandoned innovation and begun to cook according to standardized procedures.

On the one hand, it saves time and effort, on the other hand, it is true that the power of individuals is extremely weak, but such standardization of catering can achieve rapid promotion and occupy a dominant position in the market!
Anyway.

In Kobayashi Gentian's cognition.

This is an era that belongs to cooks, and it is also the most gloomy era in the culinary world!

Of course, I know that Zhang Fan was once a chef in a five-star hotel.

In the end, she was able to willingly give up all of this and run this izakaya alone. Such deeds naturally made her admire her even more!

This shows that Zhang Fan will never be the kind of person who loves fame and covets fame and wealth!
he!
I really like cooking!

he!
I am unwilling to be bound by various standardized things in the cooking world!

he!
What an amazing cook!
Therefore, for a moment, Zhang Fan's image became particularly tall in her heart.

And if you say it again.

These are her thoughts at this time.

If Zhang Fan finds out, I'm afraid he will definitely laugh.

In his previous life, he just chose to resign from a five-star hotel because he didn't want to live a boring life of two points and one line.

Just like myself now, running an izakaya.

Then he would only be busy between 7 pm and 12 pm for the rest of the day. The rest of the time he could basically choose to lie down and do whatever he wanted!
As for what I hate about today’s culinary world, it’s not people who are greedy for fame and fortune.

All I can say is, Kobayashi Rgentan, you are thinking too much.

……

time.

slowly passing by.

This breakfast ended in a warm atmosphere after all!
And this kind of mille-feuille cake that subverted common sense naturally left a deep impression on Kobayashi Gentian!

She was very lucky that she was thick-skinned enough, and she forced herself to stay here and have breakfast in an almost playful way, so that she had the opportunity to taste such delicious mille-feuille pancakes!
In the end, the very satisfied Kobayashi Ringtong stood in front of the izakaya with some reluctance.

"Shopkeeper!"

"I'm so...so grateful for this reception!"

After saying that, she bowed to Zhang Fan to express her gratitude!
"It doesn't have to be."

“Just made some layer cakes!”

"What's more, since the opening of my izakaya, you have been coming here almost every night to patronize my business, so you can be considered a regular customer!"

"And the relationship between you and me is not as strange as other people's!"

Zhang Fan said with a smile, and then looked at Xiaolin Gentian with deep meaning.

This girl is indeed very casual in terms of personality and is always carefree.

After these days of getting along with her, although his friendship with her is still not very good, that wonderful spiritual connection has made his relationship with Kobayashi Rgentan very subtle!
Especially looking at Kobayashi Rgentan like this, he should have a little fondness for him.

But she may not have noticed it herself. After all, her extremely gluttonous personality has always covered up everything about her feelings!
In her eyes, what is more important than eating?
However, she didn't understand that her appetite had been conquered by Zhang Fan, but her heart... could it still be far away?

"The owner."

"If you say that again."

"Then...then I'm going to blush again!" From Zhang Fan's words, I learned that my relationship with him was far closer than that of many people.

Kobayashi Ryodan's heartbeat started to accelerate "bang bang bang", and he felt like he was pounding instantly!
"All right!"

"I won't talk to you anymore!"

Then, she pretended to be calm and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Fan.

After all, if she stayed like this, she didn't know if she would actually blush later.

So after saying these words, she turned around and left the izakaya quickly with light steps!

"Hey!"

"It's finally gone!"

"Now, my izakaya is much quieter again!"

At this moment, Zhang Fan, who was standing in front of the izakaya as he looked at the figure that was getting away, could only sigh deeply!

And just when he was about to return to the izakaya, he found that the proprietress of the "Harugotei" Western-style restaurant next to him, Kikuchi Sonoko, was standing there blankly, looking at him.

"Yo!"

"Good morning, Miss Kikuchichi."

Seeing this, Zhang Fan had no choice but to stop and say hello to her.

……

impression.

Before the opening of his izakaya.

The "Chun Guoting" restaurant next door already exists!
This restaurant is completely different from his izakaya in terms of its style and marketing line, even its decoration, service level, etc.

First of all.

Chun Guo Pavilion specializes in Western cuisine.

And the diners who come here to eat are often the elite of this society.

There are almost no ordinary office workers, housewives, students, teachers and other groups at the bottom of society!
But even though the service targets are all a group of top-level people, and the price of each dish is ridiculously expensive, the business of this Spring Fruit Pavilion has always been very good!

Think about it too.

This is the proprietress of Chunguo Pavilion.

Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo was the second among the top ten heroes of Yuanyue.

Her strength and talent can indeed support the operation of this Chunguoting Western-style restaurant.

She even relies on her own ability to make this Western-style restaurant bigger and stronger step by step!

……

"Ok!"

"You... hello!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo was faced with Zhang Fan's proactive greeting.

But he was so frightened that he took a few steps back. After nodding and saying "Hello" to him, he actually ran back.

Such a reaction naturally made Zhang Fan a little confused!

"It's weird!"

"I'm obviously so handsome and not very scary. Why did you run back when you saw me talking?"

Regarding this situation, Zhang Fan could only shrug his shoulders and feel a little depressed!
However, don't look at his izakaya, it is right next to Harugotei.But he and the proprietress Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo have almost never met.

The reason is that the business hours of the izakaya are from 7pm to 12pm.

However, the business hours of the Chunguotei Western-style restaurant in Mokuchienka are from 9 o'clock during the day to 6 o'clock in the evening. The operating hours of the two restaurants are completely staggered!
Therefore, Zhang Fan, who was depressed, quickly adjusted his mentality.

He returned to the izakaya and didn't take the matter of Kikuchichi Sono to his heart at all!
