115. Flame Extravaganza
"It's quite a challenge to be able to defeat the Chinese cuisine of Teruki Hisashi."
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Kohei Sojin touched his chin and thought about what he should do.
"I remember Chuangzhen, the shop you opened mainly sells peppercakes and pasta."
"Yes, in fact, from the very beginning, I had the idea of going head-to-head with my senior Kuga. But now I find that my store is still not attractive enough to customers. ”
"After all, I am one of the Ten Masters of Yuanyue, and my influence outside of school is much stronger than yours. Many customers even come from far and wide. These die-hard guests who have been here for a long time are hard for you to pull. But there are some guests.,It was during the school festival.,Through the other party's publicity, I learned about the Kuga Hotel.。 If you want to snatch customers from the other side, you have to start with the needs of this part of the customers. ”
"In this way, I remember that there was always a long queue at the entrance of the hotel, and most of the guests had to wait a long time to eat. Obviously, my senior has trained so many people who can perfectly replicate their own dishes, but the guests still have to wait in line, and the time is still very long. ”
"There are also disadvantages of high fame, although Kuga Zhaoji attracts a large number of customers, but the guests come to eat, not to look at it and leave. Even if he and his team were able to finish all the dishes ordered by the guests in a second, it would take at least 15 minutes for each guest to finish their meal. The area of the room that each person can use in the school festival is limited.,I've been in the same order for a long time.,His hotel seats aren't enough.。 ”
Listening to Li Xiang's analysis, Kohei Chuangzhen finally figured out what he hadn't figured out before. After understanding, his eyes lit up:
"I understand that as long as my restaurant can provide dishes that are not inferior to those of my seniors, I will be able to divert my customers!"
"Wait, if it's just the same quality as the other party, it's not enough. The customers who have been attracted by Jiu Yu Ji are all those who want to taste Sichuan cuisine, and your food must be Sichuanese, or at least have elements of 'hemp' and 'spicy' to attract them. ”
"Hmmm! I understand that I don't have a clue about the 'Sichuan cuisine' that can compete head-to-head with my senior Kuga, but there are still a few days before the end of the Moon Festival, and I still have a chance! Thank you, emiya. I went back to cooking. When I'm ready, remember to check it for me! ”
As Li Xiang expected, Xingping Chuangzhen really chose the second option, that is, to put the front over for a long time.
Kohei Soma left in a hurry. Seeing his energetic appearance, Li Xiang smiled helplessly.
Originally, he also planned to teach him the "Magic Mapo Tofu" that he had studied and restored.
But think about it from another angle, I guess the other party will not accept such help from me.
Li Xiang had already anticipated his choice, and the plot information of the original book was one thing. In his opinion, the reason why Kohei Soma can become the protagonist is because of his courage to face any difficulties, his diligence in never giving up, and his indifference in the face of others' doubts.
Kohei Sojina is a little black in the belly.,But on the whole he is a hearty and upright person.,Since you want to challenge Kuga Teruki.,You must rely on your own strength.。 It's one thing to ask for help from a classmate, it's not something he's willing to do to defeat his enemies with someone else's recipe.
As described in the original book, Kohei Soma has never been a genius, and it goes without saying that Erina Nagikiri, who has the "tongue of the gods" and is the heir of the cooking family; "Nose of God" Ryo Hayama also studied with Professor Shiomi Jun, an authority on spices, since he was a child; As for Li Xiang himself, if it weren't for the plug-ins that were systematically opened, he would not have the capital to compete with these geniuses at all.
Kohei Soma is very lucky, at least his father is a good teacher and has laid a very good foundation in cooking. But what Kohei Soma learned from his father was only to inherit the cooking skills of a small restaurant.
What's more, years of education in China have proved that if students don't work hard, no matter how good the teachers are, they are useless.
After entering Yuanyue, especially after the autumn selection and field training, his cooking skills have even improved by leaps and bounds to the level of the top ten masters.
Behind the brilliance, only he knows how much sweat Kohei Sojin has paid, how many sleepless days and nights.
Li Xiang patted his face, and even left two bright red slap prints with such force.
"People have a father and medicine and work so hard, I can't continue to fish. Work hard work work work! ”
Li wanted to get up and walked back to his shop, and in the open space, the fire and ingredients were all ready.
"There are so many firewood piled up here, is it going to be a bonfire?"
try{mad1('gad2'); } catch(ex){}"Probably not, if you really want to do it, you won't just light such a small fire with Yuanyue's handwriting. ”
"I heard from a waiter at the store next to the fire that opened the ninth seat of the Ten Heroes of the Far Moon, and they said that there would be a special event here tonight, so I just came."
"Are you too? Coincidentally, I visited that store today. Speaking of which, the food at that restaurant is really good, and I will go again tomorrow when I have the chance. ”
During the day today, Li Xiang not only notified the guests who came to his restaurant for dinner, but also arranged for personnel to distribute leaflets at various locations on campus. And Nagi Senzaemon, who knew what Li wanted to do, also gave strong support, and even the guide booklet issued by the school clearly stated that a special evening event would be held here tonight.
Although the number of people who came was a bit large, it showed that the propaganda work had successfully achieved its effect, and it was time for him to conquer these audiences with his performance of flames.
Li Xiang took the megaphone and stood in the middle of the unlit firewood. His appearance attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.
"Guys, listen to me."
After saying something out loud, Li Xiang paused to make sure everyone was quiet and looked at him before continuing.
"I guess everyone was attracted to our store by the flyer in our store, and I'm the person in charge of tonight's special event, and I'm also the chef, and I'm currently Emiya, the ninth seat of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon."
"The reason why you are here is to invite you to a special barbecue dish. The process of making this dish is very interesting, everyone will know it when you see it. ”
"For everyone's safety, please step back behind the pre-drawn white line on the ground. The event will start immediately. ”
Li Xiang took off his shirt, revealing muscles that were clearly cut and shaped like steel. The golden ratio drew screams from some of the young female guests.
The flames, once again, burned. Compared to the previous two times, this time the flames were more fierce and the scene was grander.
On the stage of the red lotus, the king of the fire demon waved the iron rope, and the fierce aroma dispersed with bursts of heat.
The guests who came to the scene tonight may never forget this scene.
The sky-high firelight illuminated the sweat on the boy's body, the waving chains, and the bursts of incense, and from time to time a grilled fish with a shimmering yellow light would be thrown up, and then accurately landed on the plate.
The first to grab the grilled fish was Kobayashi Gentian, who had been waiting for the rabbit on the side of the dinner plate.
Although he is the second of the Ten Masterpieces, Kobayashi Gentian did not open a store during the Moon Festival. She wanted to try all 120 stores in the school during the five days of the festival.
From a certain point of view,She's the only one who is really enjoying the school festival of the far moon.。
"Wow, it looks delicious."
Kobayashi Gentian couldn't even wait to eat little by little with chopsticks, picked up a chopstick and inserted the fish from head to tail, and held it in his hand to eat.
A bite of fish into the stomach, Kobayashi Gentian, who has always been stingy with good words about food, was stunned.
It's not that it's not delicious, it's that it's so delicious that I lose words.
This is a dish that even the WGO executive and Nagi Managi who has the tongue of God have given affirmation, and Li Xiang, who made it for the third time, is more experienced, and with the help of Erina Nagikiri, the taste of this dish is now on the next level, and if Nagi Nagi tastes it again, it is estimated that this dish will be defined as a two-star dish.
Kobayashi Gentian could vaguely feel that the grilled fish he was tasting had an even stronger impact than the food of Si Yingshi, the first seat of the Ten Masterpieces.
Contrary to the fact that Si Yingshi completely erased the traces of his own cooking, this dish is full of the chef's personal imprint, and Kobayashi Gentian can even feel the chef's frenzy in cooking. However, she had to admit that if the food she had tasted was a whisper of ingredients, then now, the fish in her hand was the dragon chant of the fish leaping into the dragon gate after being calcined by the samadhi true fire!
Under the leadership of Kobayashi Gentian, many diners also put down their reserve and decency in front of the delicacy, put on the plastic disposable gloves provided by the organizers, and grabbed the grilled fish and feasted on large pieces.
The flames soaring into the sky can be seen clearly even by the shops in the mountainside area.
"What's that?,When will Yuanyue hold a bonfire party during the school festival? No way! There's one more person in the fire! Did you have an accident? ”
A customer who was eating at Erina Nagi's restaurant saw the fire under the mountain from his window.
"It's a special way of cooking, Emiya from the ninth seat of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon is cooking there, and if the guests are interested in tasting it, my store has a partnership with him, and I can send it to you for you to taste."
try{mad1('gad2'); } catch(ex){} Erina Nagikiri glanced at the fire at the bottom of the mountain, and immediately understood what was happening, she put down the kitchen utensils in her hand, walked to the customer's table, and explained to the customer with a smile.
Li Xiang had already communicated with Erina before the Moon Festival, and after some discussion, the two of them finally decided to cooperate with each other.
Just now, the guest asked Erina, "Is that so?" What kind of cuisine is that? ”
"A grilled fish dish that I guarantee with my palate is definitely a delicious dish. By the way, we also installed a camera at the scene, would this customer want to see the cooking scene? ”
"What, and live? Interesting, it seems that there is really cooperation, can you let me see? ”
"Of course, Scarlet, turn on the projector."
Erina turned around and gestured to Scarlet Sako, a new household who was working as a cook in her shop, and Scarlet Sayako understood, took out a remote control, and turned on the projection device in the center of the store.
On the silver screen, it was Li Xiang waving eight iron chains in the flames.
"It's really an incredible way to cook, since Miss 'God's Tongue' has given good reviews, how can I, who claims to be a glutton, not try it, please give me one."
"Me too, give me a copy too."
Many guests were aroused by their curiosity after seeing the video. And this is exactly what Li Xiang and Erina are doing.
Li Xiang's Tianxiong Blazing Fish, after being delivered to Erina's store, is ten times more expensive than the price given by the diners who ate at the foot of the mountain.
It is foreseeable that after tonight, Li Xiang will definitely make a lot of money.
However, at this time, Erina Nagikiri couldn't help but glance at the flames under the mountain with some concern.
The Moon Festival is not only a school festival in the far moon, but also a grand food carnival with a passenger flow of 500,000, considering the number of guests, Li Xiang has to stay in the raging flames for at least two hours, not so much a huge test of physical strength, but rather a death act that breaks through the limits of human beings.
Although Li Xiang has repeatedly said that he can, Erina always feels that his heart is up and down.
"Let's hope there aren't any accidents."
Erina repeated silently in her heart.
Unlike Erina, the diners at the scene were simply partying.
The table with grilled fish was full of people inside and outside. If it weren't for the staff's desperate efforts to maintain order,
In addition to diners, many reporters from major food magazines also fell into a state of carnival. The sound of the shutter and the tip of the notebook rubbing against the paper could not even drown out the noise of the crowd.
Originally, they just came to the scene to report on the scene of the Moon Festival in the Far Moon School Park as usual.,I didn't expect to be able to dig up such fierce material on the first night.。
In the Far Moon School Park, there are students who can use such a whimsical cooking method to make dishes that they can't pick out at all for these weather-beaten food column reporters.
How else can you pick a thorn? Modern equipment such as ovens and even coal are not used at all, and the fish is grilled without any burnt on the surface. The sauce and fish are nearly 100% perfectly matched, and the surface and interior of the fish are perfectly matched.
A journalist who is also a food critic even said that this is already the limit of what can be achieved in grilled fish dishes.
A magician who manipulates the flames? The Lord of the Fire Demons? Or Salamanda? Many journalists are already thinking about how to come up with an eye-catching headline for tomorrow's headlines.
No wonder these reporters are so excited, the scene is so shocking.
With the chef dancing in the flames of the red lotus, and the night sky in the background, these reporters didn't even need to bother to find an angle, just focus on the focal length and press the shutter to take the perfect picture.
Nagi Senzaemon, who was planning behind the scenes, was also very satisfied at this time.
Li Xiang's flame magic raised the fame and popularity of the Moon Festival again. Many customers who were about to leave re-entered the Far Moon and wanted to see the scenery up close. And with the news being revealed by reporters, the passenger flow will usher in another round of surge in the next few days.
The average number of visitors to the festival is 500,000, but how much will it be this time?
Nagi Senzaemon began to look forward to the pomp and circumstance of the distant moon at that time. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
