Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

The lights in the dessert shop flickered, casting mottled shadows.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of various desserts, but it seemed particularly depressing.

And in the back kitchen.

Several beams of light began to converge.

They illuminated a young man standing there. He was wearing a black windbreaker, his face hidden under the shadow of the brim of his hat, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Surrounding him were several chefs with different expressions, as well as some diners.

Suddenly, Cai Bo Chaoyang took a deep breath and slowly raised his head. His eyes under the brim of his hat flashed a resolute light in the dimness.

He spoke, his voice was low and powerful, penetrating every inch of space in the kitchen: "I didn't expect that even the commander-in-chief of Totsuki would personally take action. It seems that it really doesn't take any effort!"

After speaking, he slowly reached out his hand and gently unzipped his windbreaker, revealing a kitchen knife on the lining.

At this moment.

Time seemed to freeze.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the kitchen knife.

Shock, confusion, nervousness, and even unwillingness were all mixed on their faces!

…

For Alice and Hisako.

They actually knew very little about late-night cooks.

Now, they have a chance to see the strength of this legendary late-night cook, so naturally they dare not relax their nerves.

“Hehe.”

“I can’t wait to see it.”

“What kind of level are these late-night cooks who can defeat many elite chefs in the cooking world, including our Ten Elites of Totsuki?”

On the side, Alice looked at the masked Saiba Chaoyang with a sharp look.

Then, she said again: “I don’t know what kind of food he will come up with when facing Erina who has the talent of God’s Tongue?”

…

As soon as the voice fell.

Saiba Chaoyang started to work.

What’s more strange is that he is not like an ordinary chef. He starts to cut meat and fish with a kitchen knife.

It was seen that he actually started brewing green tea first.

Yes.

You read it right.

He... was brewing tea.

First, use a small amount of hot water to scald the glass, then take out some tea leaves and start brewing.

After putting the tea in the cup, gently shake the cup to let the tea leaves wake up in a slightly wet and slightly warm environment. Then, Cai Bo Chaoyang slowly poured hot water into the tea cup to everyone's astonishment.

At this time, if you look closely, you can find that his technique is extremely gentle.

Moreover.

His inner state of mind is also extremely peaceful.

Especially his action of pouring water, which flows along the wall of the cup to the bottom of the cup, gradually wetting the tea, makes people feel calmer!

...

Green tea.

It is an unfermented tea that retains the natural substances of fresh leaves.

Tea leaves contain tea polyphenols, catechins, chlorophyll, caffeine, and amino acids. Not only that, but also vitamins and other nutrients are more.

In the dead of winter, it is actually the best season to drink green tea.

When drinking green tea with clear soup and green leaves from a glass, it is the most pleasant to watch and appreciate some winter scenes.

Of course.

For tea lovers.

When brewing green tea, the water temperature must be controlled well. Too cold will not make it open, and too hot will scald the tea.

At the same time.

Water at 100℃ is actually not suitable for brewing green tea.

If you use boiling water to brew, it is easy to destroy the nutrients rich in green tea.

Under high temperature, the tea soup is easy to turn yellow and taste bitter. Vitamin C is destroyed in large quantities, so that the tea soup also changes taste and becomes bitter.

"Huh?"

Alice was obviously stunned for a moment and felt very strange.

She looked and saw Cai Bo Chaoyang, whose movements were so elegant and smooth. At this time, no matter how many heads she had, it seemed insufficient.

As the leader of the late-night cooks, he did not cut meat and fish in the duel with others, but brewed a cup of green tea, and it was a very fragrant green tea.

Magic!

What a magical operation!

…

As the saying goes:

The green waves are full of fragrance, and tea does not intoxicate people.

A cup of fragrant green tea is refreshing, and people can get drunk just by smelling it.

At this time, even if Alice just moved her nose slightly, her eyes were a little blurred.

In her mind, she seemed to have entered a brand new world, bringing her all kinds of wonderful enjoyment and endless aftertaste, and then it seemed that she had a pair of beautiful and magical wings, allowing her to fly freely in the fragrant tea garden, appreciating the fragrance of green tea.

In the fragrance of green tea, an impetuous heart slowly calmed down.

Hmm!

Slowly.

This cup of green tea gradually drifted away.

Just like the strong aroma of wine, it can drift as far as it can.

Soon, the diners in the entire dessert shop, as well as the chef Yumiko, were all deeply stunned by the aroma of green tea.

Oh my God!

The aroma of this tea is so strong when it is brewed!

Unexpectedly, he only took a few minutes to brew a cup of extremely fragrant green tea. At this moment, everyone was fascinated by it and smelled it!

"Huh?"

Erina was stunned for a moment.

This extremely fragrant green tea has already made her whole body tremble.

She had no idea that the leader of the late-night cook in front of her was also a master of tea ceremony.

The action of making tea, no matter the process, is extremely delicate and elegant.

Not an exaggeration.

Just this cup of fragrant green tea can conquer many people.

"The best is yet to come."

"Commander Yuanyue, I will let you always remember this moment that is enough to make your god's tongue tremble and marvel!"

Saiba Chaoyang raised his head and glanced at Erina.

Finally, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled softly, and couldn't help but say to Erina.

…

Uji Kintoki.

This is actually a general name for ice cream.

Generally speaking, green tea syrup is made by brewing tea in Japanese style, adding sugar and water.

It is then poured over shaved ice and served with red beans boiled in sugar to create a colorful dessert. Of course, in addition to adding some red beans, some people also add white glutinous rice balls to add color and texture.

In Neon Country, the tea produced in the area around Uji is classified as high-grade green tea, and "Uji Green Tea" is the most famous.

In other words, "Uji" originally refers to Uji green tea, that is:

Neon tea produced in the surrounding areas of Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.

The origin can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, and after hundreds of years of development, the tea futon produced in the area around Uji is the most famous.

Therefore, the green tea used by Zaiha Chaoyang now is actually tea produced in the Uji area.

in addition.

There is also a saying.

The red beans used are as red as the face of a certain person named Kintoki, so this kind of red beans is also called Kintoki beans.

Therefore, this is how the rather strange name of Uji Kintoki came about.

…

Then, when everyone felt surprised.

Saiba Chaoyang finally took the next step. He first prepared a lot of ingredients, including shaved ice, honey red beans, red bean puree, and vanilla ice cream.

As soon as these ingredients were taken out, everyone seemed to understand.

Shaved ice.

Honey red beans.

Red bean puree.

Vanilla ice cream……

When these things are paired with green tea, it makes people think of desserts like Uji Kintoki.

At this moment, Alice, Hisako, Yumiko and the diners all held their breath.

When the atmosphere became more and more silent, Chaoyang began to put an appropriate amount of honey red beans in the container, drizzled a little matcha syrup, then placed shaved ice on top, and placed a ball of vanilla ice cream on top.

Immediately afterwards, he put some more red bean puree on the side, and finally poured matcha syrup and sprinkled with a pinch of matcha.

The unfinished Uji Kintoki is as fresh and green as Marukyu Koyamaen Seoran, with a strong aroma of matcha, and a slight greenness that makes people look at it without even blinking.

…

Generally speaking.

Desserts always make people feel happy.

This is true whether it is sweet snacks or Cantonese-style sugar water.

Just the exquisite appearance makes each dessert a panacea for treating depression and relaxing the mood.

Dessert.

Generally not considered a meal.

Usually, just as an afternoon tea snack.

Most people, when they treat themselves, may like something sweet and forget about losing weight, getting into shape, and those gorgeous clothes that look good but stretch the body.

This is especially true for girls.

In fact, girls and desserts have a lot in common.

First of all, both have attractive appearances, either delicate or beautiful, so-called beautiful and delicious. Secondly, both are delicate and soft on the inside.

Just like a chocolate cake, it has a hard shell on the outside, but dense cream on the inside, which is easily melted by passion.

…

Dessert.

Its own history is already long.

According to the "Book of Songs": "On the second day, the ice was cut and washed away, and on the third day, it was collected in Lingyin."

In other words, in the Shang Dynasty three thousand years ago, people stored ice cubes in the middle of winter for use in summer.

Today, it is the mid-winter season, which is obviously not the right time to eat desserts. However, Erina stared at Uji Kintoki's desserts in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

Not only her, but more and more people began to be deeply attracted by Uji Kintoki.

no doubt.

Uji Kintoki Desserts in Saiba Asahi.

A perfect combination of two big balls, matcha ice cream, two or three small glutinous rice dumplings, and two chestnuts.

Therefore, this exquisite decoration and combination make the matcha ice cream rich in taste, not greasy.

Creamy and rich.

The tea aroma is stronger.

Mixed with the thick undissolved matcha powder, it has a hint of bitterness.

One smell is enough to make you intoxicated.

…

then.

Erina swallowed.

Then she couldn't control her heart. She stared blankly at the unfinished dessert and exclaimed: "What the hell is going on?"

"Why does this Uji Kintoki dessert have such a strong fragrance when it is made?"

Erina's bright eyes gradually became confused.

On the other hand, Caibo Chaoyang only raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled confidently.

Then, Saiba Chaoyang continued to put a ball of vanilla ice cream on the top of his Uji Kintoki, put some red bean paste on the side, and finally poured matcha syrup and sprinkled with a pinch of matcha powder.

Suddenly, the entire scene erupted with a strong aroma of tea.

No.

It's the aroma of milk.

Wait... this... seems to be the aroma of tea and milk!

Alice Nakiri, Hisako Niito, and Yumiko Miyazawa, the three girls were the closest, so they were the first to be deeply shocked by this rich and complex aroma.

Moving the tip of the nose, I felt that the aroma rushed directly into my nose.

Indeed!

This fragrance is simply unprecedented.

Unforgettable!

Alice was even a little intoxicated at once.

The milky aroma is rich, deep and fragrant. Just from the appearance, the volume of the dessert Uji Kintoki is not large.

However, it is fragrant and tempting, with a unique flavor that makes people unforgettable.

The bright and fresh green color from nature is applied on the fragrant green tea, and there is also brilliant red bean paste, which gently stops.

It is not a fairy tale, but it is better than a fairy tale. It is no exaggeration to say that the art of pleasing the taste buds has been fully exerted at this moment, and everyone has started to go crazy.

I never thought.

A small dessert can be so amazing.

Not simple!

It's really too simple!

Could it be that this is the strength of a late-night cook?

...

Looking at the Uji Kintoki in front of her.

Erina also had an indescribable impulse. She had no choice but to keep her head down and smell the rich tea and milk aroma.

Very fragrant.

But it seemed very sweet.

The so-called Uji Kintoki is actually composed of green tea ice cream, green tea snow bricks, white jade balls, red bean paste, and yellow plums.

There are many varieties and the appearance is beyond words. No matter which angle, it looks good.

The green tea flavor is even stronger.

At the same time, it is more interesting that if you dip the white jade balls in green tea ice cream and add some red bean paste to eat together, the taste will definitely be very delicious and just the right sweetness.

Erina Nakiri couldn't help but blinked and fell into a brief contemplation.

…

To be honest.

The Uji Kintoki dessert in front of us.

It looks very good, especially the green tea ice cream ball on top, which is even more interesting.

So much so that Erina's girlish heart is about to be revealed.

Oh!

Such a cute dessert.

I really don't want to take a bite, for fear of destroying this "beautiful" feeling.

However, this kind of dessert is so fragrant that it can make people greedy. In the end, Erina could only quickly pick up the small spoon, scoop a small mouthful and eat it.

Sweet.

It's really sweet.

The milky flavor is really too strong.

And the fragrant and rich tea flavor is coming one after another, making people unable to guard against it.

The fresh red bean paste mixed with tea, basil, and mint, as well as a little juice, can be used as a good seasoning for Uji Kintoki.

The texture is soft and fresh, and each layer has a different flavor and color. The effect is beautiful and delicious, and people can't help but eat it for a long time.

"This..."

Erina was stunned for a moment.

She looked straight at Ujikin and didn't know what to say. (End of this chapter)
