Chapter 210 Takoyaki

Octopus balls, also called takoyaki, are a food that originated in Japan.It has been popular since the Taisho era in Japan. Because of its deliciousness and low price, it has gradually evolved into a quintessence of Chinese snacks.

Shirakawa Kazuya walked to the stall selling takoyaki. There were two or three people queuing in front of him. He stood at the back, then stuck out his head and carefully observed the stall owner's technique and the ingredients in front of him.

"You want to eat delicious eggs, and you also need to know who the hen who placed the order is." Chihaya Tsukiike didn't plan to eat this, so she didn't line up and just stood by and chatted with Shirakawa Kazuya.

Shirakawa Kazuya raised his finger to his mouth and said "shush", signaling Chihaya Tsukichi to keep his voice down so that his boss wouldn't hear him.

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm planning to steal some of his skills and use them in an izakaya!" Shirakawa Kazuya's guilty look on his face made the other three people feel a little funny. They all closed their mouths and quieted down. They all said Don't bother Shirakawa Kazuya to learn from his master.

The man in front left with a box of takoyaki, and it was Shirakawa Kazuya's turn to stand in front of the stall. "Young man, what do you want to eat?" The stall owner looked kind and had a dedicated smile on his face.

"Bring me a classic one!" Shirakawa Kazuya pointed to the first row on the wooden board. There are other flavors below.

"Okay, wait a minute!" The classic one is the one with ketchup and salad dressing. The stall owner skillfully picked up a few baked ones from many hemispherical iron plates and put them in a few bottles. I squeezed the sauce on top, inserted two skewers, put it in the box and handed it to Shirakawa Kazuya.

Shirakawa Kazuya handed over a few coins, then stood aside holding the box.

"What, you just bought a box of takoyaki and succeeded in stealing from me?" Chihaya Tsukiike looked at Shirakawa Kazuya, with a hint of ridicule and curiosity in her eyes.

"Of course! This is the skill of a general! A layman like you won't understand." Shirakawa Kazuya smiled confidently, picked up a small octopus ball, and held it in front of his eyes under the bright yellow light of the lantern.

Tsukichi Chihaya shook her head, expressing disbelief. "If you haven't learned it beforehand, I don't believe you can learn it just by watching it for a while."

"Humph, you will understand when I take a bite!" Shirakawa Kazuya put the octopus ball into his mouth, and then directly turned on the [God of Cookery's Tongue].

Yes, he plays cheats.

The purpose of ordering a takoyaki is not to learn how good the stall owner's craftsmanship is, but to understand how bad his craftsmanship is and then learn in reverse.

Of course, that’s not to say that the stall owner’s cooking is bad. In fact, the takoyaki made by the stall owner tastes pretty good.It's just that Shirakawa Kazuya's cheating is too strong, and the God of Cookery's tongue can taste almost all the shortcomings in the dishes.By eating an octopus ball, Shirakawa Kazuya can figure out all the pitfalls that cannot be avoided in making this snack, and avoid these shortcomings, so that it can be not only [-]% delicious, but at least [-]% delicious.

"How are you, Chef Shirakawa? Have you figured out the secret?" Tsukichi Chihaya looked at Shirakawa Kazuya's face, trying to see through him.

Shirakawa Kazuya didn't speak, he was still immersed in his own understanding of this dish.

The tip of his tongue told him that this takoyaki tasted pretty good and was considered to be of standard for street stalls.

But the tip of the God of Cookery's tongue told him that this octopus ball was a pile of defense!
The first thing is flour. How can you choose all-purpose flour?Must use cake flour!

Also, there is a problem with blanching the octopus!Don't think I can't taste that little fishy smell!

The ratio of light soy sauce, water and sugar to thicken the soup is also wrong!besides
The God of Cookery is indeed the God of Cookery. In just one swallow of an octopus ball, he has already analyzed the shortcomings of hundreds of words.

"Well, I have roughly understood the specific method of making this takoyaki. Once I go to an izakaya to practice it, I should be able to sell it." Shirakawa Kazuya ate another one. After closing the tongue of the God of Cookery, the taste Still very good.

"Really or not, is it enough to sell it after just two bites? If it doesn't taste good, it will ruin your good image in the eyes of customers, Kazuya, be careful. "Nagata Chinatsu is a little worried about whether Shirakawa Kazuya will take too many risks.

"Put it down. I'm still counting on the izakaya to give me a bonus if it makes money! It's impossible to ruin its sign by yourself." Shirakawa Kazuya ate two and handed the remaining three meatballs to Xiangzi.

"We still have some time, where should we go now?"

Tsukichi Chihaya glanced at her phone and said, "It's almost done. Let's go there in advance and pick a good seat."

Bai Chuanhe also felt that although there are many stalls here, there is no need to visit every one of them, so he nodded and asked Yuechi Chihaya to lead the way, and they walked on a cobbled path, avoiding the crowds .

Red and yellow lanterns were hung on ropes on both sides of the road, swaying slightly in the night wind, and the sound of wind chimes could be heard in the distance.

The branches that were blocking the sky suddenly dissipated, revealing a large viewing platform in front, with flying tile eaves, it was very grand, and there were already a few people sitting on it.

"Let's take a seat in the first three rows." Tsukichi Chihaya waved her hand, looking very grand.

"President, you are mighty!" Shirakawa Kazuya raised his hand, raising the banner for Tsukichi Chihaya.

Nagata Chinatsu also raised her hands, "Tsukiike-san is so domineering!"

Seeing that both of them were like this, Xiangzi was about to raise her hand, but was interrupted by Yuechi Chihaya with a smile, "Okay, don't be silly, hurry up!"

Several people walked up the stone steps and entered the observation deck. Every seat was clean. Shirakawa Kazuya wiped it with his fingers and found no dust, so he sat down with confidence.

He chose a seat at the edge of the first row, where he could see the green grass under the stage and the cool moon above his head.

In front of the viewing platform, some employees in work uniforms were already busy. Shirakawa Kazuya, who has good eyesight and hearing, saw one of them put the walkie-talkie hanging on his waist to his mouth, "All departments, please pay attention. , it’s almost eight o’clock, are your fireworks over there ready?”

After a few seconds, the staff member put the intercom back on his waist. The expression on his face was not very nervous. It seemed that everything was ready.

"Kazuya, would you like to make a wish?" Nagata Chinatsu tilted her head and looked at Shirakawa Kazuya, showing a smile.Her teeth were white and even, and she had two small dimples on her face when she smiled, which looked beautiful in the moonlight.

"Do you need to make a wish to watch the fireworks? Then let me think about it, just..." Before Shirakawa Kazuya finished speaking, a loud noise appeared in the sky.

The fireworks display has officially begun.
