Rebirth as a Cooking God

In Neon, Dushi refers to the winemaker. This is a generational name, or an honorific title for the chief winemaker.

Xia Yu visited Shenxiang Winery and met the Canggu girl Du Shi mentioned by Liang Zilina.

A woman with a sad face, wearing a black kimono, received the two people.

On the way, Xia Yu heard from Liangzi that the female Du family had recently lost her husband. As the chief brewer of a large winery in the Changgu family, the reason why the female Du family left the protection of the family and established her own business was also related to her husband. Among them, Xia Yu is not interested in twists and turns of bizarre love stories, nor does he gossip about other people's private affairs.

Please come in!

Going directly to the winery warehouse, the widow pushed open the wooden door, and a puff of dust hit her face. Xia Yu frowned, looked at Liang Zilina's lips and said, Is this winery really operating normally?

But after entering, Xia Yu found that the brewery was very clean, and the equipment and tools were well protected. Although it was a bit old, it just showed that the brewery had a good business in the past. This was very important, and Xia Yu considered it. One of the reasons is that he doesn’t want to cooperate with a wine merchant that has been and is being eliminated by the market.

It took about half an hour to walk around with Ryoko Lina.

How's it going? Seeing Xia Yu's interest, the heroine said, People have always thought that pure handmade wineries will be eliminated by the times sooner or later. But in Neon, many handcrafted wineries are like this. It has been passed down for several to twenty generations, and perhaps because some young successors are tired of the busy city, more and more handcrafted wineries have reopened in the past year or two.

Xia Yu nodded.

The heroine added: The sake industry underwent drastic changes in the 1970s. At that time, at least 70% to 80% of handcrafted wine shops closed down. The reason was, on the one hand, the impact of high-quality and low-priced imported wine, and on the other hand, the population Concentrating in big cities, small local wineries lost local customers and naturally closed down. The establishment of the Hase family's status as a giant in the wine industry began in the 1970s.

Is that so... Xia Yu understood.

Nowadays, Neon's so-called four royal families each have their own peaks. The Hase family is a giant in the wine industry, the Tamagawa family is a giant in agriculture and animal husbandry, the Watanabe family is a giant in the Western food industry, and the Chiyo family is a giant Japanese restaurant chain.

Of course, over the years, the Yusi Family has branched out and begun to get involved in other fields, and the professional labels on them have naturally become blurred.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the widow Du Shi came back, carrying a tray.

Xia Yu and the heroine entered a Japanese-style reception room, took off their shoes, and sat on the tatami. The female Tou placed the tray on the table, raised her hand and said, This is the Junmai Daiginjo of our sake brewery.

Junmai Daiginjo is the best sake and is located at the top of the pyramid.

Can a purely handmade workshop produce high-quality Junmai Daiginjo?

With a bit of hesitation, Xia Yu picked up the cup on the table. It is worth mentioning that this cup is different from the upright small wine glasses commonly seen in izakayas. It is a small open wine cup. The cup is wide and has a shallow bottom, and there is a blue color on the bottom of the cup. The pattern is very traditional.

This is Doshi's professional wine vessel, specially used to taste and judge the quality of sake. The heroine will explain.

Xia Yu shrugged. He was not that professional, but his tongue could still taste the quality of the wine. Female Du took the initiative to pour wine for him. He noticed the glass bottle of sake and the label on the bottle. :

Yukiotome?

This is the name of Junmai Daiginjo, a small brand. Xia Yu has never heard of it before.

The key is that this glass bottle is hazy, seemingly transparent, and gives people the feeling of mist. He recognized that it was a sake bottle produced with Neon's unique local craftsmanship, and the price was extremely expensive.

This discovery shocked Xia Yu. How could the quality of sake packaged in bottles with thousands of soft sister coins be poor?

Thinking about it, he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Holding the wine in his mouth, he tasted the changes in the wine. Daiginjo sakes of this level generally have a delicate taste, but this unheard-of Snow Otome sake was too delicate. There is an aftertaste.

How come it's like stroking the snow girl's ice muscles and jade bones?

That delicateness, a hint of heart-trembling coldness.

Tsk tsk.

Snow Otome? No wonder it has this name.

While feeling amazed in his heart, Xia Yu also raised his head with satisfaction and said to the female Du, That's it!

“How much finished wine do you have?”

…

Time moves back to morning.

In the deep courtyard of Tamagawa's family, this is the first time Tamagawa's parents and daughters have gone home to stay overnight since the defeat of the Shoji half a year ago. However, the conversation between father and daughter at the dinner table was not in a good mood.

Cooperating with Xia's Farm?

The eldest daughter repeatedly begged her to get close to the young chef. Tamagawa Shin became impatient and waved his hand, In terms of cooking skills, he is very strong, strong enough to defeat the veteran Lin giant Lei Zhe. But there is no need for our Tamagawa family to give up the developed development strategy and lower ourselves to seek business cooperation. The Tamagawa family does not need extra collaborators!

Tamagawa Shinno is in charge of the family, and over the years, he has led the family business to flourish. In addition to his cooking skills, his management and business abilities are first-rate.

He admired Xia Yu's cooking skills.

But in business, Tamagawa Nobu did not think that it was necessary for the Tamagawa family to condescend to someone with a great business.

Father, have you ever visited his farm? Tamagawa Ayaka did not give in, raised her chin slightly, and met her father Tamagawa Nobu's scrutinizing eyes with stubbornness in her eyes, I have been there, and, I We can be sure that his farm will soon become a strong new force in the neon agriculture and animal husbandry industry!

Tamagawa Shin's face was as sinking as water.

Our Tamagawa family has been passed down from generation to generation. We have seen many new soldiers. We have seen them build tall buildings and see them collapse. However, the Tamagawa family is still stable. With a faint smile on his lips, Tamagawa believed, A while ago, he There is indeed a lot of news on the farm. It is said that he is trying to cultivate fantasy plants on a large scale? Well, I also heard about the petitions of the Curry Princess sisters and Takei Shinji...

Then... Tamagawa Ayaka sat up slightly.

There is no need to talk about this matter anymore! Tamagawa Shin waved his hand to block it, The Tamagawa family has a plan to land in the Chinese community in the next five years. In two days, I will go to the Chinese community to negotiate business cooperation and talk to the people above. , increase the export of Wagyu beef from our Tamagawa Animal Husbandry to overseas! All the Tamagawa family’s resources are devoted to this matter!”

A tone that leaves no room for doubt.

Tamagawa Ayaka opened her mouth, and Tamagawa Misa, who was engrossed in breakfast not far away, quietly raised her head and waved to her.

The two sisters had breakfast and drove back to the shopping street.

in the car.

Sister, you are just wishful thinking! Tamagawa Misa said angrily.

The woman driving the car was stunned.

Isn't it? You didn't even tell Boss Xia about this matter. Even if your father agrees to Tamagawa Animal Husbandry to allocate part of its resources to support Xia's farm, what about Boss Xia? Will he agree? He is Yuanyue's board of directors. The giant has a close relationship with the commander-in-chief, and with just a few words, he can get resources comparable to half of the Tamagawa family, but has he asked for such support and help...

Tamagawa Ayaka listened silently, and then said after a long time:

Father, he will regret it... no, the entire Tamagawa family!

Unexpectedly, Tamagawa Misa waved her hand and said nonchalantly: Sister, your surname is 'Xia' a long time ago!

Click!

The car braked suddenly at the entrance of the shopping street. Tamagawa Ayaka blushed and turned her head to glare at her sister, Misa, what are you talking about! What's your surname, Xia? I am the eldest daughter of Tamagawa!

It’s no wonder Tamagawa Ayaka reacted violently. In Neon, changing a woman’s surname often involves a life-long event.

Since your defeat in the Shokugeki War, hasn't the name 'Xia' been on your head? Misa Tamagawa rolled her eyes, revealing a hint of cunning, Ah, sister, do you think you are just a maid?

Stop talking nonsense! Tamagawa Ayaka was so fragrant that she took out the car key, sat on the passenger seat sister, pinched her cheeks and pretended to tear her mouth. Tamagawa Misa could only beg for mercy, Hey! Sister, don't be like this...
