Chapter 18 Civilian Cuisine and Noble Cuisine

taste!

Still going on!

Ate the entire beef burger in one sitting.

Erina smacked her lips, feeling that it was not satisfying, so she picked up the anchovy chips next to her and continued to bite!

Only then did she finally wake up from the shock of the beef hamburger. The handsome shopkeeper Zhang in front of her was indeed the strongest chef she had ever met in her life!
Fragrant!
crisp!
sweet!
fresh!
Anchovy chips that combine these complex flavors.

It was still Erina Nakiri who could never taste the original taste of tofu dregs.

This kind of French fries has a very unique taste. The crispy French fries are paired with fresh anchovies. She fell in love with it as soon as she tasted it.

In particular, the deliciousness of the anchovies perfectly blended with the crispness of the fries themselves, which made her feel the beauty of the fusion of the ocean and the land!

Simultaneously.

A little bit of green onion.

Season with salt and pepper.

It makes this humble Western fast food snack even more delicious!

"This taste."

"How do I describe it?"

"It's like... well, soldiers wearing golden armor, bravely crossing the unknown ocean, going on adventures, exploring, and conquering!"

At this moment, Erina was starting to think about what words to use to describe the taste of anchovy chips.

Suddenly, her taste buds were surrounded by the crispy texture of French fries and the fragrant potato aroma.

Each fries seemed to show her their story, telling their journey to become the bravest soldiers.

So much so that she seemed to be able to feel the courage and persistence of these little soldiers rolling in the oil pan just now, even using their own lives to interpret what delicious food was!

"Ah?"

"It's strange."

"Why do I start crying?"

inadvertently.

A tear from the corner of her eye slowly dripped down Erina's delicate cheek to the ground.

In her mind, she suddenly remembered a very vague figure, the mother who had been tortured because she could not escape the curse of God's Tongue.

With his back turned to her, he silently chose to run away from home.

these years.

Feelings for mother.

She is very complicated, with both hatred and desire!
Now, after eating beef burgers and anchovy fries in succession, Erina actually thought of her mother, Nakiri Managi again!

……

A special taste.

Erina naturally knows how to use God's Tongue to conduct careful analysis.

However, she could not use any power to forget or destroy the memories that were deeply ingrained in her mind!

At a young age.

She is also very interested in these mediocre dishes.

But her father, Nagiri Thistle, wanted to fully unleash the potential of the God's Tongue.

It turned out that the extreme educational concept of "Mediocre cooking is garbage and it is impossible to lead a new era of cooking" was forcibly instilled in her.

finally.directly caused it.

Erina began to pursue more advanced ingredients in cooking.

Even as long as it is high-class food and fixed methods, she can accept it, but in turn completely rejects common people's cuisine!

But at this moment, Zhang Fan made three Western-style fast food using cheap and almost free ingredients such as toast bread, tofu residue, rice bran, etc., once again subverting Erina's understanding of civilian cuisine!

His cooking.

Like a light, it began to illuminate the road ahead.

Let Erina Nakiri, who was trapped in darkness, gradually find her own direction in life!

……

"Although."

"I...I really don't want to admit it."

"But the cooking you made is indeed satisfying to me."

"Whether it's the beef burger just now, or this crispy anchovy fries, whether it's toast and tofu crumbs, or beef patties and fries..."

“These flavors are amazing to me and will be something I will never forget!”

After wiping her tears and gathering her emotions, Erina blushed and spoke softly.

At this time, she was wondering if she could really use simple ingredients to make simple dishes like Zhang Fan.

But is it this simple dish that can satisfy all diners, even your own God’s Tongue?
After thinking about it, she gave herself an answer:

impossible!
There is no way she can cook such a dish!
……

"people!"

"There may be distinctions between high and low, but there is no difference in cooking."

"Although affordable ingredients are often the most common, you can easily buy them in any supermarket or meat market."

"But if you analyze it from the perspective of vitamins, minerals, proteins and other beneficial ingredients for the human body, you will find that rare ingredients seem to be no different from affordable ingredients!"

"In the end."

"Whether it's mediocre or noble!"

"This is just human subjective consciousness, which is always causing trouble."

“As a chef, all you have to do is make dishes that satisfy diners.”

these words.

Any questions?

In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you will find that what Zhang Fan said is a bit ambiguous, but there is no problem at all.

And he is indeed using his own actions to prove what he said.

but.

Anyway.

This kind of discussion shocked Erina deeply!

But she couldn't find any reason to protest.

Helpless, Nakiri Erina had no choice but to raise her head and look at Zhang Fan carefully again.

It seemed that she wanted to peep into all the secrets of the hotel owner in front of her.

Even more, I want to remember his handsome appearance and tall figure in my mind one by one, so that I will never forget it in this life!
