Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

After all, most of the dishes in izakayas are light and low in oil, making them suitable for weight loss.

"This...don't you have any other more formal menus? The words are a bit hard to read."

"Never mind, I'll go check out the menu on Dianping."

Wang Lulu clicked on the customer reviews, thinking of giving the store another chance, but when she searched for the izakaya's name and saw the rating, she was stunned.

and many more.

One-nine?

She stared blankly at the A4 menu Xu Zhou handed her: "You... your restaurant only has a 1.9 rating?"

"Hmm, I think so."

Xu Zhou no longer cared much about the ratings, since his store relied on repeat customers and had limited availability.

If we do group-buying activities in the future, positive reviews will be automatically given when the time is up.

He put the menu away: "We only have two dishes, one is a replica of barbecue, and the price is 1,888 yuan."

"There's also an oyster congee, which costs 660."

I just earned a million.

Just when I wanted to lie down and relax.

Xu Zhou urged, "Do you want it? If you don't, I'm going to close the shop."

Wang Lulu was so hungry that her stomach was cramping in waves. She was in so much pain that she slumped onto the table, intending to get up and leave.

However, I was forced to accept the name of Xu Zhou's recipe.

"Imitation of barbecue dishes..."

"Oyster congee..."

"Why do these two recipe names sound familiar?"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she widened her eyes, took out her phone, and opened the manga she had been raving about yesterday, "Food Wars!"

No way?

Does this dish really exist?

Wang Lulu stared at the comments from Yizhou, the comic book author with whom she had exchanged over a dozen insults the day before, for a long time.

She immediately recognized the words he had used to insult her yesterday.

Just because you haven't eaten it doesn't mean the dish doesn't exist.

"You've never even tried this dish, what right do you have to criticize it?"

"You have the nerve to call yourself Shennong? Do you even deserve to be called that?"

His mouth looked like it had been poisoned.

Wang Lulu laughed in exasperation and put away her phone: "Give me one of each dish."

Although the price is a bit high.

But I can afford it if I grit my teeth.

When you eat it later, take a picture of yourself from different angles. If it's not good, post the picture in the comments!

Let's see what that author has to say next!

Xu Zhou naturally had no idea that Wang Lulu had so many thought processes, nor did he recognize that the excessively thin woman in front of him, who looked like she could be blown away by the wind, was the "Shennong" from last night.

Hearing that she ordered two dishes, I simply handed her the oyster congee I had just made to take home: "Have some oyster congee first, I just made it."

"The imitation barbecue dish has to be made to order, so please wait a moment."

Chapter 11 Should I join the Gourmet Association?

Wang Lulu initially took a sip of porridge with a nonchalant attitude.

While drinking, he casually stirred it with a spoon, his eyes showing considerable disdain.

This just looks like an ordinary bowl of porridge, what could be so special about it?

Just stir it casually.

The rice grains in the thick, clear porridge were almost all cooked until they burst open.

Look at it more closely.

The oyster meat, coated with a layer of thick, white rice porridge, was revealed.

Under the light, the oyster meat, coated with a thin layer of runny white porridge, reflects a bright light, looking fresh and vibrant.

Even with the naked eye, you can feel the unprecedented supreme quality of this seafood!

The oyster meat is extremely white and tender, with slightly browned edges. When you get close to it, it doesn't smell fishy at all, but rather has a strange sweet aroma.

"This……"

Wang Lulu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This looks kind of fresh and delicious."

She grew up by the sea, and seafood is the thing she has seen the most.

Whether seafood is fresh or not can almost always be determined by its appearance.

The oysters in front of her, wrapped in a thick, white porridge, were the finest she had ever seen.

She took a careful bite, and the tender oyster meat was bitten open. The extremely tender meat, with its incredibly sweet and fresh taste, overwhelmed all her senses.

You can even feel the sweetness of the oyster slowly emerging as you bite into the meat.

She felt as if a golden light had suddenly appeared in her mind.

"How can this be!"

Wang Lulu was somewhat shocked by the taste.

The first taste is fresh and sweet, but upon further tasting, one can experience a rich array of flavors.

It has a hint of smoky aroma, accompanied by the freshness of seafood, and then combined with green garlic, salted egg yolk and aged vinegar, creating an ultimate flavor that is even more delicious than crab meat.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, the exquisite sweetness lingers for a long time.

This comic is actually realistic?

This is impossible!

After finishing one dish, Wang Lulu began to look forward to the next one.

Oyster porridge is something that the female protagonist criticizes in the comic.

The barbecue dishes that can be imitated are different; those are dishes that only the male protagonist would make.

Oyster congee is so delicious!

How delicious must the other dish be?

While Xu Zhou was cooking, Wang Lulu glanced hesitantly at the photos she had just taken and posted them in the comments section of the oyster congee post.

[Wang Lulu: Photo/Oyster Porridge!]

[Wang Lulu: I'm Shennong! I actually found oyster congee in real life, and it's delicious! I'm currently waiting for this restaurant to make their imitation barbecue dish...]

After this comment was posted, many comic fans who clicked in quickly replied below.

[Oh, this dish really does exist...]

That's probably just a coincidence. Judging from the egg-mixed rice that the author described later, it definitely wouldn't taste very good...

Is this a new dish? Could it be that the restaurant owner is also a fan of this comic and actually copied the recipe from it?

Which store is it? Is it in Songnan City?

Wang Lulu was oblivious to the repercussions of this comment; her attention was completely focused on the other dish in front of her.

"This...this is a replica of barbecue?"

"Correct."

Xu Zhou smiled and said, "Please enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he added, "By the way, we can only eat one serving of each dish here, and we don't allow any extra dishes."

After he finished speaking, he made another bowl of oyster congee, packed it up, and put it aside before crossing his legs and waiting.

The number 90 for "Transformation Egg Rice" is stuck at 90 because only half of the second episode was drawn, and it hasn't gone up any further.

However, the imitation barbecue dish has become so popular that just a few customers can contribute about 30 points to the price of this dish every day, causing the price to rise to over 200.

"The comics just aren't popular..."

Xu Zhou glanced at his outstanding performance in the new anime series, but he was still very dissatisfied.

liver!

Now that we have some money, we'll close the shop for three days!

I'm sure the customers will understand!

...

Wang Lulu was somewhat shocked as she looked at the imitation barbecue dish in front of her.

It looks exactly like the one in the comics?

She smelled the strong aroma emanating from the dish, carefully reached out, cut off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.

A small piece of potato, once cut open, no longer appears golden yellow when viewed horizontally; instead, it has turned a vibrant orange-yellow, soaked with the rich juices of the meat.

The potato absorbed the rich meat juices, and a small piece of bacon wrapped around it. After taking a bite, Wang Lulu felt a buzzing in her head.

Just like the feeling of being enveloped in golden light in a comic book, all her senses were being overwhelmed by the potatoes soaked in meat juice.

If you chew carefully, you can also taste the flavors of chopped mushrooms and onions, accompanied by crispy and delicious bacon.

After absorbing the meat juices, the mashed potatoes become not only soft and tender but also burst with juice, exuding a rich meaty aroma.

"good to eat!"

"Oh my god!"

"Oh! I forgot to take a picture!"

Although she only cut a small piece, Wang Lulu still carefully took a picture with her phone and posted it in the comments section of the picture of the imitation barbecue dish.

[Wang Lulu: Photo/I am Shennong! There really is a dish that imitates barbecue! Look!]

[Wang Lulu: It's sooooo delicious! Absolutely amazing!]

She ate excitedly, completely forgetting about her diet, and asked between bites, "Boss, your restaurant is so delicious, how come it's only a 'zero-star' restaurant?"

This is absolutely the best dish she's ever eaten! I wouldn't say it's a full ten stars, but it's at least an eight-star level!

But Xu Zhou paused for a moment, then hesitated: "The number of stars... shouldn't make much difference, right?"

"Of course there is a difference."

“Except for Songnan City, other cities have already implemented it. Only Songnan City is a bit remote and has many restaurants, so it has been delayed for a long time.”

"That's it."

Xu Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

This truly is a world of delicious food!

If this were on Earth, how could food associations and restaurant star ratings be so widespread among the general public?

Moreover, people's love for food has reached new heights, and they are willing to spend money on it.

...

"Yes, it will be available on official food apps."

Wang Lulu explained to him: "Every restaurant has a star rating and assessment, which is evaluated from many aspects such as hygiene, popularity, taste, environment, menu creativity, etc."

"Ordinary people can usually only go to ten-star restaurants. To go up to the next level, you need to join a culinary association to reach the level of a state banquet."

"Then you need to be accepted into the World Gastronomy Association to be eligible for world-class restaurant awards..."
