Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

"Ding dong!"

"Successfully signed in once."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for getting an opportunity to upgrade and decorate the izakaya. Do you want to use it now?"

"Use directly."

Time, go back a little bit.

After closing the izakaya, Zhang Fan signed in the system again as usual.

Zhang Fan was a little surprised that the sign-in reward this time was actually an upgrade and renovation of the current izakaya.

"Ding dong!"

"According to the host's wishes."

"The izakaya is currently undergoing an upgrade. This upgrade will take 24 hours. During this period, the izakaya will not be open to the public. Please temporarily close the business for one day!"

"Ding dong."

"Congratulations to the host for finally reaching 10,000 orders since the opening of the izakaya."

"Ding dong."

"The food store is successfully opened and the transaction function is unlocked."

"From now on, the host can use food coins to buy anything you want in the food store."

"I would like to explain that there are two ways to obtain food coins. One is to complete various tasks released by the system, and the other is to obtain them through the check-in function."

"Um?"

"Shop? Trading function?"

From the system's voice, Zhang Fan was obviously confused and ecstatic at the same time.

Since coming to the world of "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater", with the help of the system, his overall strength has been rapidly improved.

However, some of the "food coins" he obtained through the system's check-in function were never able to be used.

certainly.

these currencies.

He really couldn't figure out what was going on?

Only now did he understand that Ganqing's so-called "food currency" was a virtual currency similar to that on the Internet, which could be purchased in the system's store.

…

So, I am happy.

He began to open the gourmet store in his mind and consciousness.

This gourmet food store currently only has the "Ingredients" column, but when you open this column, it is further subdivided into dozens of sub-columns, such as: staple food, meat, fish, beans and eggs, fruits, milk, and vegetables. Categories, greases...

In other words, Zhang Fan can now use kitchen coins to buy any ingredients at the gourmet store.

Um!

To know.

Along with the rapid boom in izakaya business.

The daily consumption of food ingredients has become increasingly alarming.

Although in the supply of beef, due to a brief cooperation with Mito Yumei and the system's occasional check-in, some ingredients will be given.

However, Zhang Fan always has to go to the nearby vegetable and meat market to buy other ingredients, especially fruits and vegetables.

nowadays.

With the gourmet store, there is a transaction function.

Then, the problem of food supply should be perfectly solved.

…

and.

Just like the check-in function, there are also "special" options in the sub-column of ingredients, namely:

Special ingredients!

Out of curiosity, Zhang Fan couldn't help but click on the "Special" item.

Then you don’t know it by looking at it, you only know it by looking at it.

The so-called special ingredients are actually those rare ingredients full of fantasy in the world of "The Prisoner of Food"!

Like bananas with a rich milk flavor, fruits with rainbow light, pine cones with chocolate flavor, apples that become more delicious the more frightened they are... those ingredients that are full of weirdness in the original work can all be used in the store for delicious food Coin purchase.

Of course, for these special ingredients, the prices provided by stores are often very expensive.

But you can also choose to buy the seeds or pups of these ingredients at low prices.

Then cultivate.

"It's interesting, let's buy some first..."

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing 10 milk banana seeds. It cost a total of 1,000 food coins and there are still 0 food coins left!"

"Ding dong, because the host purchased the seeds of special ingredients for the first time in the gourmet store, the planting space is hereby unlocked. The space covers an area of ​​50 square meters and can be continuously upgraded as the number of plantings increases."

Milk Banana.

As the name suggests, it is a banana that tastes like milk.

From the outside, a ripe milk banana looks like an ordinary banana, but if you peel off the banana skin, the banana flesh inside will be covered with thick and fragrant milk, giving it the dual taste and taste of milk and banana.

This special ingredient is sold for 50,000 yen per piece in the world of "The Captive of Food".

all in all.

Zhang Fan already has reason to believe it.

The launch of the gourmet store and trading functions will allow him to start possessing the fantasy ingredients in "Prisoners of Gourmet".

The emergence of these fantasy ingredients will definitely have a profound impact on the world.

No!

It’s an earth-shaking change!

"Ding dong, 10 milk banana seeds."

"Planting has begun and will be fully mature in 48 hours. Hosts please don't forget to click harvest."

Finally, after placing all the milk banana seeds in the planting space, Zhang Fan dragged his tired body to the bathroom, took a nice bath, and then fell asleep.

…

When the stars of the Milky Way shine in the night sky.

A unique light and shadow cut across the sky. It was a comet, carrying mystery and unknown, passing quietly.

At this moment, in a corner of the bustling city, in an izakaya, a delicacy called "Comet Fried Rice" is quietly waiting for the diner Managi Nakiri to taste.

This fried rice.

Like the comet streaking across the night sky.

Although short-lived, it left an indelible impression.

Every grain of rice, if you look closely, is wrapped in rich vegetable juice, as if it is lit by starlight, shining with alluring light.

The ingredients such as minced shrimp and shiitake mushrooms dotted on top of the fried rice are like satellites surrounding a comet, silently guarding the center of this delicious dish.

have a bite.

The taste is rich and varied.

Just like the trajectory of a comet crossing the sky, it is full of unknowns and surprises.

The softness and elasticity of the rice seem to jump in your mouth, bringing the initial sense of satisfaction.

Then there is the richness and mellow flavor of spinach and green vegetables, which penetrate into every grain of rice, adding a profound foundation to the entire fried rice.

The carefully matched ingredients each have their own characteristics. The tenderness of the shrimps, the mellowness of the minced mushrooms, the freshness of the vegetables... They are intertwined to form a layered delicacy!

"Hmm~"

"Sure enough, it still smells the same."

Nakiri Shinagi couldn't help but show a satisfied look on his face.

Maybe it was because she missed Zhang Fan's cooking too much, or maybe because Erina was in Hokkaido these days, so her visits to the izakaya became more and more frequent.

"Did you instigate Tokiyama Hyogoro last night?"

Placing a glass of sake in front of Shinagi, Zhang Fan only asked softly.

"I really can't hide it from you."

"Yes, I asked the two late-night cooks to come over last night."

Nakiri Shinagi continued to eat Comet fried rice, and then secretly glanced at Zhang Fan with the corner of his eye: "A person who wants to die will definitely show a sense of despair, helplessness, worthlessness, fatigue and slowness, Symptoms such as loss of appetite.”

"And I want to prove one point from you, that is..."

“Food has the power to heal trust, it can comfort, persuade, and even give people a sense of hope!”

"Um!"

"Then what?"

Zhang Fan shrugged and asked again.

"you did it."

Nakiri Shinagi smiled for the first time in a long time.

…

food.

It's really comforting.

If a person who wants to commit suicide goes to the vegetable market and sees all kinds of fresh vegetables and plants, he will feel the vigorous vitality, be inspired and not want to die.

When a person is lonely, he doesn't need anything else.

All you need is a refrigerator with plenty of food in it.

Then, he can keep warming his stomach and heart when he is lonely.

Then, while playing with the taste buds, long-lasting memories emerge in the aroma of the food!

"Ding dong."

"Congratulations to the host, the special ingredient milk banana is ripe and ready to be collected."

"Ding dong."

"Host, do you want to collect milk bananas?"

Just when the atmosphere fell into silence, the system voice in his mind suddenly rang again.

"Mature?"

"Then just charge it!"

Afterwards, Zhang Fan started to click the virtual button of "harvest", and successfully harvested all 10 milk bananas.

…

In fact.

In the world of "Prisoners of Food".

Many national treasure-level chefs have gourmet cells in their bodies.

The so-called gourmet cells are cells from the body of the phantom jellyfish. The activity of these cells is different from that of ordinary fish. Therefore, after humans are implanted with gourmet cells, the cells in the body can be activated!

You can even evolve after eating fantasy ingredients.

In other words, if you want to taste fantasy ingredients, it is indispensable for humans to have gourmet cells in their bodies.

Because some fantasy ingredients have super power in themselves, and some of them are astonishingly large in size and weight. Therefore, without gourmet cells, humans might explode and die once they taste them!

Of course, the stores provided by the system sell special ingredients.

As far as Zhang Fan knows, ordinary humans can also taste it without resorting to external forces such as "gourmet cells".

In short.

In "The Prisoner of Food".

A rainbow fruit, a tiny drop of juice inside it.

If a person without gourmet cells is allowed to die, his body may explode directly, but the rainbow fruits sold by the system do not have this problem, and any ordinary person can taste them.

…

Afterwards, Zhang Fan took out a milk banana.

And the moment it was taken out, a strange phenomenon occurred in the entire izakaya.

First, this milk banana began to emit a dazzling light.

This light, with a ferocious momentum like a beast, illuminated the entire night as if it were day. Although the light dissipated quickly, the vision it brought still alarmed Nagiri Shinagi, Kikuchichi Sonoka and Kadozaki Taki.

Immediately afterwards, a taste that was too sweet.

It permeated the entire interior of the izakaya, and even Zhang Fan, who was so close, almost drooled!

"hiss!"

"This...this is..."

…

at this moment

Nakiri Shinagi, relying on the power of God's Tongue, seemed to be aware of the fragrance of milk banana in front of him.

I always feel that this kind of ingredient is very strange, but it is also very magical. I feel that the smell is beyond any other ingredient in this world.

The two girls, Kikuchichi Sonoka and Kadozaki Taki, were also sucking greedily.

In the end, these three women.

Gradually, I fell into the fantasy of this kind of food and became unable to extricate myself.

"Sanagi, this is a very special ingredient that I cultivated myself."

"As you can smell, the inside of this banana is covered with a layer of thick and fragrant milk. As long as you take a bite, I am sure that even your god's tongue will be affected by this kind of fantasy. I was deeply impressed by the taste of the ingredients! ”

At this time, Zhang Fan suppressed the greed in his heart and moved the milk banana plant in front of Nakiri Shinagi and waved it in front of her.

"Ah uh uh..."

"Indeed, I can feel the smell of this ingredient, so...so good!"

Shinagi, with his bright jewel-like eyes, stared closely at the milk banana.

In the end, she actually stretched out a finger and gently placed it on her lips, and she started to become a little bit impatient!

"Want to eat?"

"think!"

"Want it?"

"want!

In the end, Managi couldn't bear it anymore.

She almost lost her mind and snatched the milk banana directly from Zhang Fan's hand, and then peeled the banana peel herself.

…

"ah……"

Open your mouth wide and take a big bite.

Immediately, I felt that the entire tongue in my mouth seemed to be "alive" under the influence of the complex taste of milk banana itself.

boom.

There was a loud bang.

In an instant, Shinagi felt as if his head was about to explode, and his whole body was completely shocked.

Finally, she regained consciousness for a moment and quickly bit down with her teeth, fearing that the special ingredient milk banana would slip out of her mouth again.

However, the more she chewed.

The fragrance brought by the milk banana continued to impact her divine tongue.

"Oh my God!"

"This... what kind of magical food is this?"

"milk?"

"banana?"

"No, no, no, milk and banana?"

"That's not right either!"

"The milky aroma of this ingredient is so strong, I feel like my whole body is about to melt."

"And the taste of banana is also very strong. The combination of the two gives me a feeling... oh, I... I don't even know how to describe it!"

Gradually, Nagi Nakiri couldn't help but become intoxicated.

The moment the milk banana entered her mouth, she seemed to have fallen into a magical realm.

Delicious milk!

Sweet banana!

Even Nagiri Shinagi, who possesses the tongue of God, feels that this ingredient has an imperceptible sweetness, and just one bite will definitely make people go completely crazy.

"How about it?"

"How do you feel this kind of food makes you feel?"

"Great!"

"marvelous!"

"I dare say that once this ingredient appears on the market, it will definitely subvert the entire culinary world."

After swallowing, Nagiri Shinagi, who had already fallen, couldn't help but praise.

Hearing that Nakiri Managi was so sure about the milk banana, Zhang Fan was inevitably overjoyed.

From this point of view, the power and shocking power of this special ingredient are not inferior to the dishes in the world of "Little Master of China", and are even far superior to these dishes!
