Chapter 294 The Last Supper

Just like entering a movie theater, you need a ticket.

After entering this prosperous city, the first ticket for many people is to leave their hometown, the second ticket is to endure loneliness, and the third ticket is to not eat well!

Therefore, there are two places in the human body that can produce emotions:

brain!

stomach!

The experience of leaving home and being alone often triggers feelings of sadness in the brain.

Therefore, the heat of an izakaya with delicious food can always warm the hearts of every diner, making them gradually fall in love with it.

…

Just like Zhang Fan used "silver chopsticks to return ten pots".

After making 10 dishes in one go, new diners appeared.

Tokiyama Hyogoro, he is a retired soldier, but it was nearly 20 years since he last went in and out with the army.

After the war ended, in order to find a new job, he began to participate in the black market grain trade. At that time, he showed amazing and outstanding cooking skills and became a sensation in the "inner cooking world"!

later.

He simply threw himself into the cooking world and became a late-night cook.

According to most people who have met him, Tokiyama Hyogoro is "a person who can make people completely surrender whether on the battlefield or in the kitchen."

As a well-known "rogue chef", his frightening rumors and incidents are countless!

…

Just see.

Tokiyama Hyogoro was sitting in a wheelchair at the moment, being pushed into the izakaya by Saki, another late-night cook.

"He has just come out of the hospital. Please make a [Last Supper] immediately."

As soon as he came in, Saji said to Zhang Fan with an indifferent attitude.

Zhang Fan took a look at Tokiyama Hyōgoro and saw that he looked thin and old, but he still had a bit of anger, but his eyes were dull and his expression was hazy, as if he was dying.

So, he nodded and replied: "Well, you can just find a seat and sit down."

Phoenix eggs, this is a dish in "The Little Master of China", and it is also a home-cooked dish made with eggs and wine as the main ingredients.

Zhang Fan, who had just returned to the cooking table, prepared two large bags of salt.

Then they were all unsealed one by one and poured into the basin. Immediately afterwards, he prepared a smaller basin next to the salt basin, then took out the egg whites and mixed them into the salt basin.

The remaining egg yolks were put into the refrigerator by Zhang Fan for refrigeration.

Then, just like making noodles, he began to mix the salt and egg whites into a paste.

"strangeness."

"What kind of cuisine requires so much salt?"

Saji, who had just sat down, couldn't help but fell into deep thought after watching Zhang Fan's actions!

…

Staring at the taro on the chopping board in front of me

Then, the sharp kitchen knife held tightly in Zhang Fan's hand fell down.

I saw a silver light flashing, sliding left and right, and quickly colliding with the chopping board, and the clicking sound of the collision was like a joyful rhythm song!

At this time, all the diners present held their breaths and looked slightly frozen.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

A brief period of more than ten seconds passed.

Zhang Fan, who was very elegant, quickly took back the kitchen knife while everyone was stunned.

"interesting!"

"He used the strength of his wrist to cut, rather than the strength of his arm."

"Although this kind of knife skills is more difficult, it will make the ingredients cut more neatly, and the force can be better controlled!"

"And, take a closer look."

"There is really no difference in the taro shreds he cuts."

Obviously, this kind of knife skills shocked Saji when he saw it for the first time.

…

Time passes a little.

On the cooking table, there is a container.

In the middle of this container, a "bird's nest" made of taro silk has been placed.

Looking closely, there is a super huge "egg" in this "bird's nest". By rough calculation, the diameter of this egg may be more than 34 centimeters.

You must know that the diameter of the largest bird egg in the world, the ostrich egg, is generally only about 15 centimeters, which is fully twice the size!

"Um?"

"Is there such a big egg?"

After taking a closer look, Saji was immediately shocked.

"This egg..."

On the side, Dojima Gin was also so confused by this scene that his brain's CPU almost burned out.

"It turns out that the duck meat is wrapped with salt and egg white in a way similar to kneading noodles, and then made into an 'egg' shape."

"It's just that he deliberately made the egg bigger to numb your eyes, making you mistakenly think that the egg is naturally formed!

Finally, Dojima Gin finally saw a little bit of the secret.

…

"The giant egg is made of salt, and the bird's nest is made of taro, and now there is some high-concentration liquor flowing underneath."

"I, Saji, have never seen this kind of food in my life." Saji couldn't help but look at the "egg" in front of him carefully, and finally came back to his senses, and couldn't help but feel even more surprised.

How could she not think of it.

I just led Tokiyama Hyogoro to find a local wine shop to come in and spend money.

As a result, I actually met a cooking master hidden in the city!

Just when everyone was looking forward to what Zhang Fan was going to cook next, he took out a long-mouthed lighter and ignited the white wine underneath.

In an instant, the blazing flames directly surrounded the bird's nest.

Afterwards, the aroma of wine, taro, eggs... all kinds of complex and diverse aromas began to permeate the entire izakaya with a sweeping momentum.

"What a magnificent... beautiful dish!"

Seeing this, Saji was stunned.

...

"It turns out to be similar to wrapping the ingredients with mud and then heating them directly!"

"I remember that the kiln chicken and beggar chicken in the Celestial Empire are like this."

"The difference is that Zhang Fan's dish uses salt instead of mud, and it is different from the method of directly roasting with fire. It seems to be... steaming to ripen the ingredients inside?"

After taking a few glances, Dojima Gin finally understood some of the secrets of this dish.

Great!

This is really an amazing idea!

"Steam?"

"Isn't it obvious that it is directly burned with white wine?"

Saji was even more confused.

"Hmm!"

"It's definitely not roasted."

Zhang Fan explained: "Because salt can make the food evenly heated, which is equivalent to the function of a steamer."

"In other words, although this phoenix egg dish does not use a steamer, it is indeed using steaming to heat the duck meat inside!"

"Interesting."

"This burning method is really direct and rough."

Saji couldn't help blinking her bright eyes.

She is now more and more curious about this particularly amazing phoenix egg dish, and she is looking forward to it more and more.

...

Soon, more than 20 seconds passed.

As the flame gradually shrank until it finally extinguished, this dish called phoenix egg was completed!

Although salt does not have carbon, the bird's nest made of taro has monosaccharides and carbon. Therefore, after heating, the entire huge egg is covered with a layer of black burnt marks.

Hmm!

In short,

It was really burnt.

And in the end, when Zhang Fan placed the burnt giant egg in front of Saji and Tokiyama Heigoro, many diners couldn't help but stare at it.

"Then, the next step is the last step!"

After saying that, Zhang Fan raised a sharp kitchen knife, and then his eyes tightened, and he smashed the "eggshell" with the handle of the knife.

...

Ka!

Squeak!

Slowly.

The eggshell gradually broke open.

And when the last small piece of the shell was completely broken, a dazzling light finally came along, illuminating the izakaya in an instant.

"What... glowing?"

"Annie, the first-class executive of the WGO Food Organization, once told me that there is an izakaya in Neon Country, and the owner there will make glowing dishes. Could it be..."

Saji widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

Finally, as the light faded, the scene inside began to appear in everyone's eyes.

All they saw was a shiny duck, which was constantly emitting a rich meaty aroma, making everyone intoxicated. Especially Saji, who was close at hand, was almost suffocated and lost consciousness.

"What a nice smell!"

"This... this duck is so fragrant!"

"I can feel a warm breath of life, which gradually cracked in the eggshell and began to be born."

Saji's eyes were full of light. At this moment, she wished she could replace Tokiyama Heigoro and swallow all the phoenix eggs in front of her.

"Heh."

"There is one last step."

The next moment, Zhang Fan continued to pick up the kitchen knife.

Then, regardless of the heat, he directly processed the freshly baked duck.

At this time, he was like a skilled surgeon, his light hands were constantly waving, and the slices of duck meat were shaved out in such a smooth and flowing movement.

Because the speed was so fast, when a whole plate of duck slices was brought to Saji, the plate of duck slices was still steaming!

…

"It's amazing."

"In less than 1 minute."

"All the duck meat was shaved off, leaving only a duck skeleton!"

At this point, Saji finally looked at Zhang Fan with new eyes.

Whether it was the use of salt, taro and duck meat to make a huge egg and bird's nest, or the direct burning of white wine to heat the food in this unique way, or the dazzling light emitted at the moment the eggshell was broken, these things all opened her eyes.

She really couldn't have thought of it.

A dish can be made so amazing and magical.

No wonder, why even a person of the level of the first-class executive of the WGO Food Organization would praise him.

"This phoenix egg, in fact, is to wrap it with salt, and then continuously heat it to keep the heat in the egg, and at the same time, the taste of the duck meat is firmly locked in it, making it more delicious!"

"In short, you should let him try it."

"I believe this is not the last supper for him."

Zhang Fan just responded lightly.

…

Strong.

Round.

Glossy skin.

Just looking at it makes you want to...eat it!

In Tokiyama Heigoro's eyes, it was no longer a duck at this moment, but a piece of fresh meat waiting to be slaughtered.

When the first piece of duck was eaten, the crispy skin and tender meat instantly gave the upper and lower teeth different feedbacks of strength. After biting it off, the fat in the middle layer flowed out and rushed into the little mouth!

Chew it a little.

The fusion of taste and flavor is surprisingly harmonious.

The whole izakaya was quiet all of a sudden, and only the sound of duck skin breaking and smacking lips could be heard.

Duck meat, tender and juicy.

Duck skin, crispy and delicious.

The sauce aroma, rich and complex.

The taro shreds, refreshing and sweet.

This subtle taste seemed to see a white-clothed boy running in the jungle in midsummer!

Gradually, Tokiyama Heigoro had a vague and illusory picture in his mind.

In the bottomless darkness, a blazing flame suddenly appeared, bringing a ray of light here. Then, an immortal bird was reborn in the flames. It spread its wings and, bathed in the flames, issued a deafening cry.

Just as Shan Bingwulangla was intoxicated, Saji next to him couldn't help asking, "How does it taste?"

...

"Duck, no need to say more."

"Skin, oil, meat...everything is perfect."

"Especially when the duck skin is wrapped with taro shreds and put in the mouth, the crispy taro shreds can help the teeth grind the duck skin tissue together, making the crispy and crispy tastes amplified!"

"Not only that, the oil seeping out of the duck skin."

"After blending with sugar, it will not make people feel greasy, but on the contrary, it has a unique dessert texture."

"This dish of immortal bird eggs is very mysterious in terms of its preparation. Salt and egg white are mixed together to make it crispy and crunchy!" When the eggshells are steamed and roasted by the flames ignited by the strong liquor, the combined power of the liquor and the salt directly penetrates into the duck meat inside! "

"On the one hand, the fishy smell of the duck meat itself is neutralized."

"On the other hand, after the blending of salt and liquor, the duck meat is less greasy and people never get tired of eating it!"

"Such a dish makes my appetite seem like an immortal bird, directly reborn from the ashes."

"I heard."

"In Chinese cuisine."

"Chefs have a variety of ways to treat duck meat, just like..."

Swallowing, Tokiyama Heigoro seemed to have discovered a new world, and his originally dull eyes finally had some light.

"Hahaha..."

"I thought I would live the rest of my life in obscurity."

"But I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to taste such amazing food tonight. This...this..."

There was inevitably a sense of hoarseness in his voice, as if he hadn't spoken like this for a long time: "The owner of this restaurant is right. This is definitely not my last dinner!"
