Chapter 255 School Festival Begins

Jianghu cuisine.

This is a folk dish compared to authentic cuisine.

Rooted in the folk and derived from life, it seems to be arbitrary, but in fact it is ingenious. When it comes to the concept of Jianghu cuisine, many people may be relatively unfamiliar.

But when it comes to some classic dishes in Jianghu cuisine, all of them are well-known dishes and are well-known to every household.

for example:

Spicy hot pot.

Pickled fish.

Geleshan Spicy Chicken.

Beer duck.

Boiled fish.

Spicy crab.

Pickle bullfrog.

Hairy blood is abundant.

…

Each of these dishes is famous if taken alone!

Although Spicy Pepper Chicken is a Jianghu dish, its cooking method is roughly the same as other Sichuan dishes in Chinese cuisine. However, in comparison, it pays more attention to stir-frying in order to preserve the freshness and tenderness of the chicken.

We all know very well that Neon people rarely eat things that are too spicy, too spicy or too strong.

Logically speaking.

Slightly heavy dishes like pepper chicken are not pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, Zhang Fan could only make some improvements so that Yoshino Yuki and others could quickly adapt to the spicy feeling.

Maybe it was the slightly spicy smell that finally came up, so now Yuki started to sweat profusely, and her delicate little face was even a little flushed.

"The more you eat, the more enjoyable you feel!"

She found something dark in the plate of pepper chicken, so she quickly picked it up with chopsticks and stared at it.

Finally, she seemed to realize something and understood.

…

"Sour plums? It turns out that sour plums are added to the inside of the pepper chicken!"

"But not to mention, although the taste is sour and a bit bitter, the taste experience is indeed different from the original one. Just chew it carefully and you can fully feel the taste of the pepper chicken, which is refreshing and sweet. ”

At this time, Yuji couldn't help but sigh because of the smell of hot pepper chicken.

Earthiness, coarseness and miscellaneousness have always been the characteristics of Jianghu cuisine, and they are also the characteristics of pepper chicken.

In fact, the delicious taste of a dish often comes from life. In some aspects, Jianghu cuisine may be the cuisine that is closest to ordinary diners.

And this is even more true for Yoshino Yuki, who is good at handling game ingredients.

…

Every city.

Each has its own izakaya.

Every izakaya has its own story.

After returning from an outing, breathing in the aroma of wine and food, I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.

At this time, I always order a few kebabs and a bottle of sake. As soon as it is brought to me, I can't wait to open it, and the aroma of the wine hits my face:

So delicious!

Well, the first bite is always the most satisfying.

And in the end, the food on the table will disappear without a trace, leaving only the fragrance of the food on the clothes and the satisfaction in the heart!

At night, the scenery of this city is extremely beautiful. The faint moonlight shines on the shadows of the mottled trees, bringing silence and longing.

After eating the pepper chicken and two or three bowls of rice, Yuji calmed down and took a sip of sweet tea. She suddenly felt that she was still unsatisfied and said excitedly: "In the autumn selection, I didn't take advantage of the opportunity, and this time I can’t miss the school festival, and I will definitely strive to win first place in the [Main Avenue District]!”

"First place?"

"Yuji, it doesn't seem that easy!"

On the side, Tian Suohui, who was also blushing after eating, froze for a moment, then responded with a wry smile.

It was obvious that even if she successfully made it to the quarterfinals in the autumn selection, she still looked unconfident.

Yoshino Yuki just shook her head and said softly: "No, no, no, Megumi, every year the school festival only requires us to run stalls, restaurants, restaurants, food stalls, etc. in the three major areas."

"In short, no matter how big the scale is or what the model is, all you need to do is successfully sell the dishes you make to customers!"

"So, although your own cooking skills are the main factor, factors such as the location of the stall, marketing strategy, weather conditions, etc. will also affect the business and performance."

After saying that, Yuji clasped her hands tightly and was very excited: "After my investigation, it is enough to choose the stall in the second half of the [main avenue area]. That section should have the most traffic!"

…

"Also, Xiaomei, Yuuji and I formed a team at the school festival."

"I believe that by then, with the cooking skills and abilities of the two of us, we will be able to make the stall's business boom."

Over there, Ryoko Sakaki echoed.

Tasokoro was a little surprised. After a while, her expression softened, and then she showed her signature smile and said: "I really envy you for having goals and ideals to strive for, but I am different. I only think about It would be nice not to be dropped out of school.”

"With your current abilities, Xiaohui, the chance of being dropped out of school is almost non-existent."

Yoshino Yuki told the truth and said quietly.

Every year, Totsuki Academy holds a school festival, and its scale, popularity, and influence are extremely grand and far-reaching.

However, it's a weirder place.

Just at the school festival, it is very rare for students to be forced to drop out of school due to poor management.

This runs counter to the "elite education" promoted by Yuanyue officials.

Under normal circumstances, you will be expelled from school only if your stall ends up at a loss due to poor management at the school festival!

Therefore, if students can plan properly, they can usually make back their money or even make a profit.

Of course.

It cannot be ruled out that some people are really stupid or "seeking death"!

"I hope so."

Tasokoro's eyes flickered, and finally sighed.

…

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the izakaya closed.

This period of time was relatively peaceful, and nothing important happened to Zhang Fan.

His personality has become more and more easy-going, so the atmosphere inside the izakaya has always been gentle. Compared with ordinary izakayas, it has a much warmer feeling.

Last time, even Kobayashi Ritsou couldn't help but ask him, would he rather just stay in an izakaya for the rest of his life? Are they all so ordinary?

indeed!

From a recent perspective.

The appearance Zhang Fan showed to the world was so enigmatic, but he also had almost no desires.

For him, ordinary life itself is a kind of happiness.

However, how should this happiness be realized?

Thinking back to the time when he accidentally traveled to the world of "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater", it meant that his life was already full of drama and absurdity.

Therefore, a very embarrassing fact will eventually be placed in front of him:

How to find the destination and meaning of life in this world?

yes!

The izakaya he runs.

Now, it has always been the spiritual destination of many people!

But what about him? Where should he go?

And as the late-night cooker incident gradually escalates, and the school festival gradually approaches, the Totsuki coup is getting closer and closer.

Therefore, Zhang Fan knew very well that he, the "outsider", would eventually be involved.

"Ding dong!"

"Host, successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the recipe of boiled cabbage."

Then, just as the izakaya was closing, the sound of the system finally appeared again.

…

In the minds of many people.

Sichuan cuisine must be spicy and oily. Facts have proved that many non-spicy Sichuan dishes, such as white oil tofu, Lao Ma's hoof flower, Dongpo pork elbow, etc., have become more popular at banquets.

Among them, the most exemplary ones are Sichuan traditional dishes:

Boiling water cabbage!

From the imperial dining room to the state banquet, it has been passed down and developed all the way, and it has become the most favored state banquet dish among the upper class elites.

When the dish is ready, it is like soaking a few cabbage hearts in clear water. Not only is there no vulgar meat in the soup, not even a star of oil can be seen.

There are only a few slices of tender cabbage, as warm as jadeite, lying artistically in a pool of crystal clear water.

However, once in your mouth.

But it is fresh and elegant, with a rich aroma, a rich soup flavor, not greasy, not greasy, and soft and scummy!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high-end clear soup dish in Sichuan cuisine.

At the same time, its production process is difficult to control, so many famous restaurants and hotels have no choice but to give up and not earn this money.

Even its flavor characteristics have been elevated to the level of philosophy. Shi Guanghua, a Sichuan poet who loves food, commented: "The highest level of Sichuan cuisine is boiled cabbage."

Of course, this extremely delicious dish requires complex ingredients, complicated procedures, and is very expensive, so it can hardly be regarded as a signature dish of an izakaya.

It can only be taken out occasionally and tasted by "professionals" like Nakiri Shinagi, Nakiri Erina, etc.

“Although it’s difficult to pair with an izakaya, it’s still a very high-quality dish!”

In the end, Zhang Fan only murmured softly.

…

The bustling scene is constantly happening in Totsuki Academy.

The gate, that is, the archway through which you enter the school festival.

At this time, the opening ceremony of the school festival is about to begin. In order to cope with this school festival, it has to be said that Totsuki Academy has sent a lot of manpower and consumed a lot of financial resources.

After all, it is not an easy task to manage two hundred and twenty stalls at the same time.

Hygiene management of each store, as well as complete countermeasures against food poisoning, as well as the submission time of the income and expenditure report form, and the performance review of each store... these tasks can only be accomplished by the wealthy Totsuki Academy.

At this time, gathered in this place were all the students participating in the school festival. They saw a dark sea of ​​people, but they seemed to be full of energy in the cool weather.

"I have finally waited for this day, Erina."

Next to her, Alice Nakiri looked at Erina Nakiri, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said: "Although I can't compete with you in the same area, I will win the first place in the main avenue area for you. Look!"

Nakiri Erina naturally heard Alice's words.

But she didn't bother to care about it, but she found it funny at the same time, and said helplessly: "The first place in the autumn selection will actually go to the main avenue area. Hmm, how unconfident are you?"

Erina looked back at her with great disdain.

"Even if I win this school festival, can I take away your tenth seat of the Ten Elites?"

Alice said helplessly.

…

At this moment, the whole place started to get noisy.

"Look!"

"This group of people...could it be..."

"It's unmistakable. Like a mysterious organization, most students never fully know their names when they leave school or are forced to drop out, let alone face to face."

"Oh my God!"

"He's really one of the top ten!"

"I am not qualified to participate in the Red Leaf Hunting Conference, and I am not lucky enough to see the ten heroes in full view."

"I never had any chance in this life, but who knew that I would see such a strong star lineup at this school festival!"

"1...2...3...4...8...Why are there only 8 people?"

"Including Miss Erina, there are exactly 9!"

"There is one less?"

There is no doubt about it.

The collective appearance of these ten heroes immediately caused a great sensation.

Although everyone knew in advance that the opening ceremony of the school festival would be grand, it was difficult for everyone to predict that there would be a "gathering of ten outstanding figures", so many people were shocked.

at the same time.

In front of the powerful aura of these ten heroes.

This group of students who are always arrogant on weekdays also completely feel how insignificant they are.

"Oh, it's really rare."

"Senpai Rindou did not attend the school festival, but thinking about it, this is very similar to her style of doing things."

Kuga Teruki, who was walking at the front, smiled and muttered to himself when he felt that the students around him had complex emotions such as admiration, admiration, and fear for him.

"Then the next step is to sing the school song of Yuanyue Saryo Cuisine Academy. All students are asked to stand up and prepare to...sing..."

As soon as the words of the female emcee Kawashima Rei fell, the singing that shook the sky was like the gurgling water in the mountain stream, passionate and surging.

Then, as soon as the singing stopped, it was officially announced:

The school festival begins now!

…

First, let’s talk about the number of stores in each region.

There are 60 rooms in the main avenue area.

There are 40 in the Central Avenue area.

As for the Linshan area with the Top Ten Center, there are 20 stalls!

The assessment goal of the school festival event is to require each stall to avoid a deficit or loss within 5 days to be considered qualified.

Under such conditions, it is inevitable that some confident students will choose their stalls in the temporary area, ready to compete with the top ten. On the contrary, it is relatively rare for top ten people like Kuga Teruki to move their stalls to the central area.

At this moment, a total of 120 stalls and stores have finally begun to attract a steady stream of customers.

And the entire Totsuki Academy is increasingly showing its most prosperous scene!

…

"Let me see."

"The price of one-cent dishes in the main avenue area must be between 500 yen and 1,000 yen."

"In the central area, the price is between 1,000 yen and 5,000 yen."

"As for the last temporary area, any dish costs more than 5,000 yen?"

At this time, Kobayashi Ryokan stood at the first stall in the main avenue area, looking down at a "School Festival Tour Guide Map" in his hand, and couldn't help but let out an intriguing sigh!

But then, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and a smile couldn't help showing on her face.

"Okay, let's start from the first stall!" (End of Chapter)
