Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 45 The Unexpected Guest
moon!

Like running water.

Although not as dazzling as the sun, it is so soft and peaceful.

The pale yellow lamp casts a faint light, creating a romantic atmosphere inside the izakaya!

The soft saxophone music sounded slowly, spreading like an invisible smoke, gradually occupying the hearts of the diners!

now.

At the celebration banquet.

Delicious food, that’s all!
Even every dish is prepared and cooked by owner Zhang himself.

Tadokoro Megumi, Yoshino Yuki, Sakaki Ryoko, Marui Zenji, Isshiki Kei, etc. were all tasting delicious food, drinking scented tea, chatting and laughing.

During the entire celebration banquet, Zhang Fan was like an unrelated bystander, watching this group of interesting people and listening to their respective stories and backgrounds!

soon.

Three hours passed.

There are still less than two hours until the izakaya closes!
This celebration banquet hosted by the boarding students of Ji Xing Liao dormitory has finally come to an end!
……

"Everyone!"

"Did you all have fun?"

After collecting the bill, Zhang Fan asked them with a faint smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper!"

"You're great here!"

"We were originally worried about how a small place like this could liven up the atmosphere of a banquet?"

On the side, Yoshino Yuki replied without thinking.

The gatherings of students are actually very simple and not very demanding.

But often when I go to an izakaya to order a set meal for a banquet, it can easily cost tens of thousands of yen per person, and the portions are ridiculously small!
Each person only eats one bite of each dish, a piece of fried chicken, a piece of sashimi, and a chopstick of noodles. The rest of the time is spent drinking.

Although the banquet usually lasts for more than 2 hours, with this kind of portion and this way of eating, it is really unsatisfactory!
however.

It surprised me that.

In Zhang Fan's izakaya, every dish is generous in portion.

It was also very delicious, making Yoshino Yuki and others enjoy it!
The most important thing is that the price of each dish is very affordable!This made them all feel that it was a great deal, and their favorability for this izakaya began to increase!

Food is the source of happiness. Unlike drinking to relieve worries, delicious food can actually bring happiness and satisfaction to people.

And the quality of the food determines the vitality of an izakaya to a large extent!

True.

Zhang Fan's izakaya.

Because it has been open for a relatively short time, its popularity is not very high!
But the exquisiteness of each dish, his superb cooking skills, and the low prices of the dishes can make every diner who comes here quickly find a sense of belonging!

……

"Shopkeeper!"

"This is an izakaya that serves drinks and food, but why didn't I see the menu?"

Finally, Yoshino Yuki, who had eaten and drank enough, started to act like a chatterbox and continued chatting with Zhang Fan!
"The ingredients supplied are different every day, so our store does not have a fixed recipe."

Zhang Fan continued to explain: "As long as there are ready-made ingredients or you want to eat dishes that I can make, you can order them at will!"

"I see!"

"What a good rule!"

"That...that's an ordinary izakaya. Many recipes cover various Japanese delicacies."

“Such as sushi, tempura, soba noodles, etc. In addition, there are a variety of Japanese sake, green tea and specialty drinks for diners to choose from!”

"But your izakaya doesn't feel like a restaurant that specializes in selling Japanese food to me."

"Ah!"

"how?"

"Can't it be stipulated that izakayas sell other dishes?"

Zhang Fan asked with a smile. "Nah!"

"That's...that's how it feels to me."

"Shop owner, you are so casual in doing things, and you don't want to be bound by the world and rules at all!"

When Yoshino Yuki heard this, her face turned slightly red and she responded awkwardly.

……

In fact.

A new era izakaya.

It is very different from traditional izakaya.

In order to meet the different needs of diners, some emerging chain izakayas often not only provide a variety of Japanese and Western meals, but can also be ordered using iPads, and even the menus are available in multiple languages!

Although, there are many forms, and everyone operates according to their own abilities!

But one thing remains the same: for people, an izakaya is a place where they can be themselves freely!
The izakaya run by Zhang Fan is very different from other izakayas in form, but it uses casual and free ordering rules to satisfy the appetites and souls of diners.

"Okay!"

"Yoshino, it's getting late, we have to go back!"

At this moment, Tadokoro inside the izakaya pulled the corner of Yoshino Yuki's clothes and said softly.

"Hey."

"I see."

"Shopkeeper, let's do it!"

Originally, Yoshino Yuki wanted to continue talking to Zhang Fan for a few more words.

He could only get up quickly and come to Tian Suohui's side, and then waved to him to say goodbye!
"Ok!"

"Go slowly!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fan just nodded.

Finally, the group of residents of Jiexing dormitory left the izakaya in a happy mood.

……

night!
Deeper!
Ever since Tadokoro and the others left.

The entire izakaya was a little less lively and a little more peaceful.

Although occasionally there will still be some diners walking in to eat and drink, the overall atmosphere is still quieter!

And in the past, at this point in time, Kobayashi Ringtong, who was second in the top ten, was in the izakaya!

As a result, she has not been seen until tonight. This must be the first time that Kobayashi Ringtong has not been to the izakaya in more than a month since it opened, right?
For some reason, Zhang Fan still missed it in his heart!

Afterwards, two more regular customers appeared in the izakaya, um, plus one stranger.

But it was obvious that two black cars were parked at the door of the izakaya, and two girls got out of the front car.

The car behind was a white-haired old man!
"grandfather!"

"It's here!"

Erina, who had just gotten out of the car, quickly came to the commander-in-chief's side and said softly.

"The restaurant next door is Chunguo Pavilion, I remember..."

The commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment and began to think of something in his mind.

Finally, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Is this Chunguotei restaurant run by the 89 graduate Yuan Guo?"

"Yes."

"It belongs to senior Mujiuzhi."

"Well, it seems like someone who can run an izakaya next door to Kikuchi is not an ordinary person!"

After saying that, the commander-in-chief opened the door and walked into the izakaya with anticipation.

Behind them, Erina and Hisako first looked at each other, then quickly walked in anxiously.
