Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

“How could this happen…!”

Reimu Marufumi waved his fists to express his dissatisfaction, but to no avail.

Ignoring the complaints from the 'Hong Kong reporter' in Gensokyo, Zhou Guang poured a cup of warm water into the cup, then added two spoonfuls of honey and a slice of fresh lemon.

"Bring it to the young lady."

Zhou Guang prepared a glass of honey lemon water and gave Reimu Maru a task.

“I’m not an employee of the store.”

"Do you want to be blacklisted by me?"

"No, no, no!"

Hearing this, Wen rushed into action.

"If you're hungry, shouldn't you just eat something delicious? Why do you have to drink water first?"

"The warm honey water is for quick energy, and the vitamin C provided by the lemon is enough."

"Yeah, I don't quite understand..."

Wen said this and walked over with the water.

Kobayashi Longdan, who was lying on the sofa, did not refuse and drank the honey water in one gulp.

The warm and sweet honey combined with the refreshing taste of a slice of lemon refreshed Kobayashi Gentian and helped him come to his senses.

She sat up and gently played with her long, smooth red hair.

After thanking Wen, Kobayashi Ryodan looked around and then looked at Zhou Guang.

"It really is a restaurant... Is there anything delicious here?"

Zhou Guang wiped his hands with a towel and asked back

"It depends on what Miss Xiaolin wants to eat. A simple egg fried rice can be prepared quickly. Other than that... there are also ingredients for today's special dish, which will take some time."

"No need for fried rice! I want to eat 'special dishes'!"

"You look very energetic. If you are willing to wait, I will do it now."

"sure!"

After drinking a glass of honey water, Kobayashi Longdan, who felt much more energetic, nodded and decided to wait for Zhou Guang to prepare today's "special dish".

Since a customer had placed an order, Zhou Guang did not waste time and took action immediately.

He took out 200 grams of shrimp and eggs from the refrigerator, and then took out the Longjing tea from the cupboard.

While Zhou Guang was taking action, the curious Reimu Marufumi took out his notebook and looked at Kobayashi Ryōdan with anticipation.

"Miss, Miss, can I ask you a few questions?"

Kobayashi Longdan, who was looking at the surrounding environment, retracted his gaze and looked at Wen beside him.

"Before that, I want to ask you something."

"Sure, this reporter will answer any questions you have! The main thing is to be truthful!"

"Then... where is this place? I just remember that I have been practicing for the past few days and have no time to eat. As a result, I came here in a daze..."

"This place is called 'Gensokyo', a place where monsters and humans coexist! This is the best and most straightforward explanation to outsiders."

"Fantasy? Monster? It feels like a dream..."

Xiaolin Longdan pinched his cheek and felt pain, which proved that all this was not a dream.

After answering the question, Reimu Marufumi spoke

"What about Miss Kobayashi? Where did you come from? Your outfit is very strange."

"What am I wearing? This is the uniform of Totsuki Academy."

"Totsuki Academy?"

“It’s a prestigious culinary school.”

"Oh, well, when it comes to cooking, Mr. Shuguang is quite good."

"Really? I have a place in the Totsuki Academy's 'Ten Greatest Students' and I also love cooking. Maybe coming here is not accidental, but inevitable? Haha!"

Kobayashi Ryodan immediately accepted the current situation and completely relaxed.

With this as a start, the two began to chat happily.

The kitchen light is still working.

He first used kitchen paper to absorb the moisture from the shrimps he had just taken out, then added a little salt and egg white and mixed them evenly, then sprinkled a small amount of starch and marinated for 15 minutes.

On the other side, soak the Longjing tea leaves with warm water and filter out the tea soup for later use.

Once completed, start the next step immediately.

First, heat a small amount of oil in the pan, quickly stir-fry the marinated shrimps, and remove them as they change color.

Then use another pot, pour in a small amount of tea soup and shrimps, stir-fry for a few times, let the shrimps absorb the tea aroma, then serve directly on a plate.

Zhou Guang did not stop and turned to the other side.

After preheating the oven, he washed the large shrimps, trimmed their whiskers and legs, and cut them open from the back to remove the shrimp thread, but did not cut them completely.

The reason is simple. A portion of it must be kept for later plating.

After completing all the above steps, Zhou Guang lightly sprinkled salt and black pepper on the shrimp meat to season it, and put it into the preheated oven to bake for about 5 minutes to allow the shrimp to take shape.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pot and add chopped fresh herbs and minced garlic. Squeeze in lemon juice to make spiced butter.

"almost."

Zhou Guang spoke softly as he took out the shrimps that had been roasted previously, brushed them with seasoned spice butter, and put them back into the oven to continue roasting until the shrimps were cooked through and the surface turned golden.

At the same time, Kobayashi Ryodan and Reimu Marufumi, who smelled the fragrance, both set their eyes on Shuguang in the kitchen.

"What a nice smell... Mr. Zhou Guang, what are you doing?"

"Today's special dish."

Zhou Guang carried two meals to the dining table in the sofa area.

“Longjing shrimp with herb lemon butter baked prawns.”

“It’s quite luxurious.”

Kobayashi Ryodan looked at the delicious food and quickly picked up the chopsticks.

"I'm gonna start now."

After saying this politely, Xiaolin Longdan picked up a portion of shrimp and put it into his mouth.

Then...

"ah!!!"

The girl's body trembled, and her pale cheeks were stained with a blush.

She had never had her clothes burst before and she felt that her body and mind were suddenly liberated, and the stimulation on her taste buds made her cry out.

"Hey, hey? Mr. Zhou Guang, what did you put into the dish? It looks... so, so weird!"

The knowledgeable Reimu Maru was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

Zhou Guang raised his right hand and asked the reporter to be patient.

"Don't worry, it's 'set'."

Kobayashi Rindan, whose clothes burst, received an unprecedented shock!

Chapter 3: Xiaolin Longdan’s happiness, the arrival of the Star Core Hunter!

Kobayashi Rindou accidentally came to a restaurant in "Gensokyo". She accepted the restaurant owner's invitation and wanted to fill her stomach, pay and leave, but...

Now she has other ideas.

Because as one of the 'Ten Greatest of Totsuki', this was the first time that I felt the definite impact of the arrival of other people's food!

The dish served by the other party was called 'Longjing Shrimp with Herb Lemon Butter Baked Prawns'.

The first thing Kobayashi Longdan saw was the golden and shiny prawns. They were given new life as if they had just been fished out of the bottom of the sea. They were dotted with emerald green Longjing shrimps, like a dream combination of jade and gold interwoven!

Each prawn seems like a treasure from another world, full of mystery.

Especially the thin layer of vanilla lemon butter sauce on the surface, which is as thin as a cicada's wing but extremely rich, is unforgettable.

With his appetite increased, Kobayashi Longdan tasted the shrimps and immediately set his sights on a large prawn.

He picked one up carefully and took a gentle bite.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to stop.

At this moment, a brilliant color bloomed in front of Kobayashi Ryodan's eyes.

She felt as if she were in a garden full of miracles.

The shrimp meat that I just put into my mouth is tender and juicy, releasing an indescribable wonderful taste in my mouth, accompanied by the unique aroma of vanilla and lemon, and the mellow taste of butter. Every bite is an ultimate tease for the taste buds.

As she chewed, the flavors jumped and danced like elves, weaving a gorgeous symphony on the tip of her tongue.

“Ah… This type of processing is not uncommon, but it is difficult to control the flavor composition accurately and well.”

Kobayashi Ryodan, who could not forget the evaluation, said with ecstasy while picking up the next shrimp.

When Reimu Marufumi, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, his saliva unconsciously flowed out.

Alas, alas, alas?

what happened?

The guest in front of me seemed to be under some kind of illusion, and his mood was quite unnatural!

No! It should be 'very unusual'!

When Reimu Marufumi thought of this, his eyes fell on the food that made Kobayashi Ryodan "intoxicated".

Just when she wanted to secretly take one to try, she was grabbed by Xiaolin Longdan.

“This is mine…!”

"Woooaa! Red-haired devil! It's a red-haired devil!"

Although Reimu Marufumi has been working hard in Gensokyo for many years, he rarely encounters such an emotionally unstable guy.

No, it should be said that he was "a person who became strange because of the delicious food."

"I know! I know! I won't eat anything secretly!"

"It's good to know."

Kobayashi Ryōdan let go of Reimu Marufumi's arm and continued to taste the food in front of him.

She next set her sights on the Longjing shrimp.

The moment you put them into your mouth, the soft shrimps slide gently across your throat like naughty elves, bringing you a fresh and unworldly feeling.

The unique fragrance of Longjing tea and the deliciousness of shrimps blend perfectly. Not only is it not greasy at all, but it adds a touch of elegance, making her feel as if she is strolling in a tea garden in the early morning, feeling the warmth of the first ray of sunshine.

so comfortable...

So comfortable...

Under the impact of these, Kobayashi Ryodan's face gradually turned red, and his eyes flashed with surprise and emotion.

She could hardly believe that such a delicious dish came from the hands of a strange owner of a strange restaurant.

"This... This is like magic."

She whispered, her voice full of surprise and excitement.

At this moment, food is no longer just a means to satisfy hunger, but a palace for enjoying life.

Kobayashi Ryodan finished the food in front of him very quickly, and at the same time looked up at Zhou Guang.

Zhou Guang, who looked very satisfied, asked without waiting for the other party to speak.

"Want another serving?"
