Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

Page 16

He continued to talk while trying to do two things at the same time.

"Ms. Wuzhi, may I call you that?"

"You're quite familiar."

"You can call me by another name, of course."

"It's okay, I don't mind it. On the contrary, can you really handle cooking while talking?"

"Don't worry Miss Wuzhi, everything is going as planned."

After that, Zhou Guang mixed red wine, garlic, rosemary, a little sea salt and black pepper into a sauce to marinate the venison.

In this restaurant, all ingredients are not marinated for too long, which is one of the advantages of Zhouguang's cooking.

While waiting for the venison to absorb the aroma, Zhou Guang asked

"It's already noon, and Miss Wuzhi is dressed quite casually. Could it be that she is not a student? Or is the school on holiday?"

"Just as you thought, the school is on holiday for three days."

“Usually, I hang out with friends.”

"Really? I don't know anything about that. I don't have any friends and I hate school. It's full of stupid people, both students and teachers."

Oh?

It looks like the plot there hasn't begun yet.

Zhou Guang raised the corner of his mouth after receiving this answer.

"what are you laughing at?"

"Because everything is going well, I will soon prepare the food for Miss Kirie."

"Time is not a problem... Compared to this, where exactly is this place? I know it's a restaurant, but... why did it appear in my courtyard? Is the only explanation you mentioned 'accidentally'?"

"Yes, there is only one explanation. Miss Wuzhi accidentally saw the gate and came here by chance."

"..."

A rather ambiguous answer.

As a vampire who had lived for three hundred years, Kagami no Mist was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down.

For her, the current 'special restaurant' is a good place to kill time.

The premise is that the food made by the boss is delicious enough.

otherwise……

Wuzhi looked at Zhouguang seriously.

The arms exposed by rolling up the sleeves look strong and powerful, and the neck partly exposed by the shirt collar under the apron looks quite delicious.

If the dishes served were unpalatable, Wuzhi decided to eat the manager.

Even though she can taste human food, as a vampire, Wuzhi still has a craving for blood.

"Don't worry, Miss Wuzhi, my cooking will definitely satisfy you."

"Where does your confidence come from?"

"I received a takeout order from the Scarlet Devil Mansion before. In addition to Patchouli, I also prepared food for the pair of vampire sisters."

"Vampire sisters?"

Wuzhiliu frowned slightly and her expression became cautious.

She was very clear that she had never mentioned the word 'vampire'.

And when facing outsiders, Wuzhi will hide her identity.

If the other party sees through...

Action is necessary.

Zhou Guang remained calm and said with a smile:

"I'm not sure about Ms. Kirie's identity, but in this world of mine, in this 'Fantasy Town', there are tengu, vampires, undead, monsters, oni, and everything. And the evaluations they give me are still 100% positive."

"Tengu, ghost clan..."

Wuzhi didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In her world, there are only humans and vampires, and no third party exists.

But on Shukou's side, 'Fantasy Township' is filled with various non-human races.

"It's just a door, but it connects to such a world?"

"Some people will sigh, and some will be delighted. I wonder what Miss Wuzhi thinks."

"If I have a chance, I plan to take a stroll here. After I go back, I will only have boring vacation time."

Wuzhi's gaze then turned outside the restaurant.

There are only woods here, but in the distance along the forest road, one can vaguely see the outlines of man-made buildings that do not belong to nature.

At this time, Zhou Guang did not disturb Wuzhi who was admiring the scenery outside the window, and concentrated on the food in front of him.

While the venison was marinating, he then added chopped onions, carrots and celery to the pot, sautéed them until golden, then added black cherries, a small amount of red wine and dark chocolate, stirring until a thick, jam-like substance formed.

This unique filling not only adds sweetness but also provides an unexpected layer of taste.

The next step is to roast the venison, brushing it with the remaining red wine sauce to keep it moist.

After roasting, take it out and stuff it with stuffing and bake it again until the surface of the venison presents an attractive caramel color.

After finishing the roasted venison with the special sauce, Zhou Guang sliced some of it and arranged it on a plate.

Wuzhi, smelling the fragrance, withdrew her gaze and looked towards the kitchen.

At this moment, she felt her stomach growling, as if urging Wuzhi to taste it quickly.

"It smells so good..."

Regardless of the specific taste, at least in terms of smell, Kirie thinks that Shuguang's food is mouth-watering...

This is the extra update that was not included yesterday. Thank you to every reader for voting!

As for what's next...it's time to teach that tsundere vampire a lesson.

Chapter 23: My stomach was grabbed! Wuzhi fell in love at first sight! Confessed on the spot! (Part 2) (Please give me flowers! Collect!)

Looking at the food that Zhou Guang brought in front of her, Wuzhi picked up the knife and fork.

I saw her slowly cutting a piece of venison, and I saw that the skin had an attractive caramel color, while the inside remained tender and juicy.

As the knife and fork cut, a unique aroma of red wine, black cherry and dark chocolate wafts into your nose. This aroma is complex yet harmonious, as if telling the story of each ingredient.

It is more like a symphony of aromas than a dish.

Thinking this in his mind, Wuzhi put the venison into his mouth. He first felt the impact of the slightly sweet jam on the surface, followed by the mellow taste of the venison itself and the faint scent of rosemary!

At this moment, the food danced on her tongue, with various flavors intertwined, including the rich sweetness of dark chocolate, the sour aftertaste of red wine, and the light floral scent brought by honey.

These rich flavors not only satisfied Wuzhi's taste buds, but also gave her heart an unprecedented happy experience.

For a vampire who is used to blood as a single source of food, the complex gourmet experience is undoubtedly a new enjoyment.

So deep down, Kagami no Kirie had to admit that this dish far exceeded his expectations.

The tenderness of the venison is perfectly combined with the richness of the red wine marinade;

The sweetness of black cherry and dark chocolate balanced the heaviness of the meat just right;

The honey adds a refreshing sweetness to the whole dish.

Wuzhi had also watched food shows, so like a critic, she praised this idea in her heart.

Having said that, as a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, Wuzhi does not intend to directly acknowledge the excellence of the young man in front of her.

To put it bluntly, it's just not honest...

"Huh, I didn't expect you to be able to make such a pretty good dish."

Wuzhi looked at the other party

"However, if you think that this little bit of ability can impress me, you are totally wrong."

"As long as Miss Wuzhi is satisfied."

"Anyway... it's barely acceptable."

Wuzhi added:

"Although I've seen many chefs try to attract attention with all kinds of strange combinations, this venison in sauce really makes people's eyes shine."

Holding the fork in her fair right hand, Zhou Guang saw her pointing to the right.

"Especially the dark chocolate part. I thought it would be greasy, but it turned out to be surprisingly harmonious. It seems that your cooking skills are a little different from those mediocre ones. They are a little better."

This was an experience Wuzhi had never had before.

Just by cooking one dish, I felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.

In addition to sucking blood, I never thought that delicious food could have such magical power. Why haven't I experienced it before?

Wuzhi thought of the only answer.

She had hired chefs in the past, but she was never satisfied with them.

Only the owner of this restaurant, only Zhou Guang...

Thinking of this, she paused, as if considering whether to continue praising him.

Then she sighed, and her tone became a little softer.

"I have to say, this is indeed the most special dish I have ever eaten; of course, this does not mean you can be complacent! If you don't do it well next time, I will criticize you mercilessly."

Zhou Guang doesn't hate the evaluation given to him by outsiders.

Good or bad, both are freedom.

When he thought of this, Wuzhi suddenly changed the subject.

and so……

"I want to supervise you."

Wuzhi's gem-like eyes stared at Zhou Guang

"Zhou Guang, do you want to be mine? I can prepare the same kitchen utensils for you in my manor, and I will also provide you with the ingredients."

"This is quite a sudden suggestion."

"It's not sudden. I admire talented people. You may have an upper limit, but under my supervision, it won't be a problem for you to make a breakthrough. What do you want to choose, Zhou Guang?"

"Allow me to refuse."

"Did I hear it wrongly?"

"I reject."

"..."

Zhou Guang smiled calmly

"I like the life here and I don't plan to leave. If Miss Wuzhi is satisfied with my cooking, please come again next time."

"It's not satisfaction, I just recognize some of the talents you have."

"Thanks for your approval."

"You should know that I have never made the proposal just now to anyone I met for the first time. You are the first one."

"Ms. Wuzhi's proposal is very tempting, but please allow me to refuse."

Zhou Guang, who had won Wuzhi's 'first time', still did not accept it.

Zhou Guang never thought of becoming someone's personal chef.
