Chapter 24: The realm of cooking as you like
Neon Kanto, Kanagawa Prefecture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's really an old shopping street!"
Looking at the commercial street in the town, Li Xiaoran, who was hanging out, couldn't help but sigh.
However, although it is a little old, it has to be said that the popularity has not had much impact.
Students and adults commuting to work eat at the small shops next to the shopping street.
Because there was still some time before the transfer test of Yuanyue, Li Xiaoran did not immediately go to Yuanyue in Kyoto.
Instead, in a few areas around Kyoto, prepare to see the local culinary culture.
But should it be said that Yuanyue is indeed worthy of its name?
Along the way, Li Xiaoran saw a lot of territories named in Yuanyue.
"Kohei!?" Li Xiaoran, who was planning to find a hotel to stay in at random, suddenly stopped his steps.
Unfamiliar restaurant, familiar name.
Kohei Restaurant, the restaurant where Kohei Soma and Kohei Joichiro are located?
Looking at the almost overcrowded restaurant, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but show a strange look on his face.
What exactly should this be said?
Is it really a coincidence?
I didn't deliberately look for it.
Is the town where Kohei Sojin is located?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but stop his steps and walked towards him.
"It's better here!" Pushing open the sliding door of the restaurant, I saw a group of people gathered at the front desk, and a girl with short black hair was pointing to a ramen and said.
"It's a winner!" After reaching the conclusion, the surrounding people immediately burst into applause.
"Today, the boss also won!"
After hearing the discussion around him, he poked his head and saw the two people standing at the front desk.
Li Xiaoran knew that this was indeed the store.
And the two people in front of him are Kohei Sojin and Kohei Joichiro.
"Chuangzhen, your kung fu is still not at home." Kohei Joichiro looked unhappy, and Kohei Soku, who was sitting on the ground, said.
"Looks like I lost today!" Standing up and turning around, Kohei Soma pouted and paced back and forth.
"Wait until you've won me once and say that again." Kohei Joichiro said with a smile.
"You've lost to me almost 500 times!"
"Don't get complacent! It's only 470 times! Kohei Sojin hurriedly turned his head and corrected.
"Oh, it's been four hundred and seventy times, and I really don't have any sense of accomplishment when I always win!" Kohei Joichiro didn't know where to take out a small notebook and said while recording it.
"Cut, don't get complacent!" Kohei Sojin is also holding a small notebook to record.
As the cooking duel ended, the onlookers also found their seats to sit down and began to order the dishes they wanted to eat.
"This menu is really cheap!" Li Xiaoran also found a place to sit down, looking at the menu of the restaurant and couldn't help but sigh.
None of the dishes were more than a thousand yen.
"A bowl of ramen, just like that." It was Li Xiao's turn, and then pointed to the two bowls of ramen that the girl on the side had eaten and said to Kohei Chuangzhen.
"Ramen? Okay, no problem, a bowl of special ramen! Kohei Soma was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at Kohei Joichiro in the kitchen.
The rich soup base is made from beef bones, with seasonings such as thyme added to it, and the roasted pork is completely locked in with oil, and a special sauce is added to it, which is really delicious.
While eating ramen, Li Xiaoran commented in his heart.
However, can I easily make this level of cooking by myself, because of efficiency?
It looks like a simple tasting like this, and it doesn't seem that you can see the strength of Seiichiro Kohei and Kohei Chuangzhen.
No, no, ramen is different!
Li Xiaoran, who was still a little regretful, suddenly stiffened after smelling a fragrance.
Looking at the source of the aroma, I saw a middle-aged uncle with the same ramen in front of him.
It's just that the middle-aged uncle's ramen is lighter than his own.
But why does the same soup base have such a different feeling?
Is he making a meal based on the crowd of diners, rather than a single production?
After discovering this, in order to confirm this, Li Xiaoran looked around at the dishes in front of the diners around him again, and finally came to such a conclusion.
What a free-flowing cuisine this is, what kind of culinary realm is this!
"Ah, it seems that among today's diners, there is a very interesting person!" After the last dish was cooked, the eyes saw Li Xiaoran's movements in the hall, and Kohei Joichiro's face showed a trace of surprise, and then he whispered to himself.
Compared to Kojiro Shinomiya, it is much stronger.
Is there a realm that I can't reach yet?
Taking a deep breath and glancing at the kitchen, Li Xiaoran turned around and left Xingping Restaurant.
After leaving the Xingping restaurant, Li Xiaoran, who was about to find a store to live in, stopped.
"Recruit a chef?"
I couldn't help but stop when I looked at a small shop next to me whose business didn't seem to be too good, or the job posting at the door.
It's too boring to simply wait for the far moon to enter the school in two months.
With a smile on his face, Li Xiaoran walked towards the small shop.
There weren't many customers, and there was a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old at the front desk.
"Hello, what do you need?" Seeing Li Xiaoran walking to the front desk, the girl immediately straightened up and asked.
"I'm here to apply, and the ad on the door says you need a chef, right?" Shaking his head, Li Xiaoran asked.
"Huh, apply?" Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, the girl was slightly stunned.
With the development of this old shopping street, the business of his restaurant has deteriorated day by day, and his father, who was originally a chef, cannot continue to cook because of a hand injury, so he can only cook by himself.
Although I have been practicing cooking since I was a child, it may be because of my talent, so I can only be regarded as not bad or outstanding.
That's why we put up advertisements for chefs, but think about it and know where a good chef might come to a restaurant in an ordinary old commercial street.
Some are not even as skilled as herself, and even she has forgotten about it for so many days, and there is such a thing as recruitment.
"Hello, I'm the owner of this shop, Misa Sato, but as you can see, our shop is just an ordinary small shop, so the treatment may be ......," Misa Sato said, pointing to the two scattered customers.
"It's not a big problem with the treatment, and I'm only going to do it for two months." Smiling, Li Xiaoran said towards Misa Sato.
"Two months?" Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Misa Sato was slightly stunned.
"Yes, I'm going to go to the Ginyue Chaliao Cuisine Garden for cooking practice in two months, so I can only work for two months." Li Xiaoran nodded and said.
Far Moon?
Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Misa Sato couldn't help but widen her eyes.
As a neon person, it is naturally impossible not to know the name of the distant moon.
As one of the sacred places in the culinary world, Misa Sato once thought about how good it would be if she could enter the far moon.
It's just that Misa Sato also knows how difficult it is to enter the far moon, and she also knows how cruel the far moon is.
"If you're still confused about my cooking skills, you don't have to, and even though I'm not proficient in Japanese cuisine, I don't have much of a problem." Looking at Misa Sato, who was a little stunned, Li Xiaoran smiled lightly and took out the one-star chef certification from the pocket of his jacket.
Although it is a certification issued by the French gastronomic institution, it speaks for itself.
Looking at the certificate handed over by Li Xiaoran, Misa Sato couldn't help but be surprised, although the French Misa Sato on it couldn't be understood, but the one-star icon Misa Sato still recognized.
"One-star chef certification from the French cuisine institute." Li Xiaoran said to Misa Sato.
Looking at Li Xiaoran, Misa Sato was a little uncertain.
This is not an ordinary chef, but a one-star chef.
Maybe in Li Xiaoran's eyes, a one-star chef is nothing, just the beginning of the culinary journey.
But in the eyes of Misa Sato, a one-star chef is already a very powerful existence.
Even in the first year of Yuanyue's high school, only a small percentage of them reached the one-star level.
No, not even in the second grade, no one made it to a star.
The meaning of one star is that a chef who can stand in a star restaurant.
Now such a level of chef has come to his own small shop?
"Of course, you're admitted." But after thinking about it for a while, Misa Sato came back to his senses, and he didn't beg Li Xiaoran to be the chef, not to mention that he was only a two-month man, and he would go to Yuanyue in two months, so what did he have to be excited about.
"Does the menu need to be recustomized?" Looking at Li Xiaoran, Misa Sato asked with some curiosity.
After all, because of the chefs, they will all have their own cuisines.
"No, no, although I'm best at French cuisine, I can do it too." Looking at the names of the dishes on the menu, Li Xiaoran shook his head lightly and said.
It's just some ordinary Japanese dishes, and Li Xiaoran is still sure that he can make these dishes.
