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

Food critic Da Mi: As you all probably know, I've been a fan of Yi Cai Yi Fan for eight years. I ate at Yi Cai Yi Fan almost every day from high school to college.

I've watched this restaurant's star rating rise and fall. Of course, some people say that the head chef, Chen Xianjun, is a member of the Shen family who invested in the restaurant, which is why the soups are so excellent. I don't know for sure, but Mr. Chen's culinary skills are definitely very good.

So I originally went to Ichifusa Izakaya with the intention of finding fault with the ochazuke (rice with tea)...

The following section is almost entirely a praise of the tea-soaked rice, from the quality of the ingredients to the taste, and from the taste to the technique.

In conclusion, I put it this way.

Tea-soaked rice is truly impeccable. I personally prefer rice soaked in soup, but I have to say, tea-soaked rice is really delicious.

The owner uses king salmon for his salmon soup rice, but his skill is so incredible that he can even control the amount of fish oil to perfection. Each bite combines the soup with plump rice grains soaked in it, and the rich, creamy salmon meat inside… absolutely amazing!

...

The rice vendor even posted its previous sales records for "One Dish, One Rice".

I go there almost every few days.

I'm an absolute eight-year fan.

The words of an eight-year veteran fan are highly valuable.

After all, the sales figures are real, and the fans were accumulated not long after Yi Cai Yi Fan was established.

Many fans were puzzled and curious after seeing this.

Is it really that delicious? Big Rice Bro never lies. If you say it's really that good, I'll definitely try it.

Aren't you fans of Yi Cai Yi Fan?

Yes, I personally prefer a simple meal with rice and vegetables, haha, but personally, I'd definitely go for something tastier!

"..."

"Head Chef".

When the kitchen helper saw this review, his hands trembled slightly, and he cautiously looked at Chen Xianjun over there.

"Chef, it seems our regular customers are all interested in ochazuke (rice with tea)..."

"How to do?"

If this is tea-soaked rice, it's not as good as soup-soaked rice, then forget it.

But looking at it this way, it seems clearly better than rice soaked in soup.

Chen Xianjun took a deep breath and said coldly, "New dishes! Serve the new dishes!"

"Spend money to buy a new soup base packet from Shen Tang Shi, and add a new dish!"

The Shen family specializes in making soup bases.

A tradition spanning hundreds of years can't possibly be inferior to Xu Zhou's tea-soaked rice.

He would accept earning less even if it meant less money.

Our reputation must not be trampled underfoot by this izakaya.

...

Xu Zhou was aware of the celebrity effect of famous chefs in this world.

The hotter the industry, the better.

The more obvious the celebrity effect, the better.

The world of food is full of restaurants, and people's eating habits and various dining habits have long been cultivated, even becoming a habit.

The more popular an industry is, the greater the competition becomes, and the more attention it attracts.

There are so many food apps, and even celebrity chefs can appear on variety shows.

It's completely different from my own world now.

"These imperial chef families have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. I wonder what their culinary skills are like."

"Next time I have the chance to go to the provincial capital, I might as well go to those big stores and try some food."

Xu Zhou suddenly thought of the yellow-faced girl who came today and the little skull-headed girl from last time.

Thinking about the dish they mentioned, I became even more curious.

...

Lost in thought.

Zhang Wanqiu and Li Sen, who were standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, can we continue selling dinner here?"

"Master, we still have over two hundred portions of materials left today. We can use them up after selling them at the evening market."

Xu Zhou looked somewhat surprised: "Aren't you taking a break? Aren't you going to set up a stall at the night market?"

"We've already discussed it and decided not to go."

Zhang Wanqiu puffed out his chest: "I still owe the young boss 50,000 yuan! I need to pay it back!"

Xu Zhou glanced at Li Sen again and thought for a moment: "I can lend you your tuition, accommodation and living expenses for the next four years. I will talk to the school and give the money to the school. You can just go to the school at the beginning of each month to collect two thousand yuan for living expenses."

"As for the money you owe me, you can deduct it from your wages."

These two were indeed talented and hardworking. Seeing that they both nodded in agreement, I had them write an IOU.

After signing the IOU, seeing the two looking at him expectantly, Xu Zhou said helplessly, "Since you both got into the top three in the grade, I'll let you stay under my name."

The two of them instantly became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"it is good!"

"Teacher! I promise!"

"From now on, I will be the eldest disciple!"

"I am the second disciple!"

Overjoyed, the two wanted to jump up and clean the entire house, even putting the dishes into the dishwasher and sterilizer.

...

night.

Xu Zhou let them continue cooking in the shop, reminded them to eat on time, and then went home.

The keys to the school villa have already been handed over.

Naturally, I also plan to go back and tell my parents about the move.

while eating.

He had barely mentioned it when his parents looked over in astonishment.

"A school teacher? A house included?"

"What school teacher?"

Xiao Zhou is now a university teacher?

The two were stunned.

Seeing the bewildered looks in their eyes, Xu Zhou said quite naturally, "Special recruitment, huh? Songnan University's Culinary Arts Department specially recruited me as a teacher. I have my own private office, and I was allocated an entire building of faculty and staff dormitories..."

...

An entire building!

Xu Zhou then showed them another picture of the villa's interior.

Upon seeing the interior of the villa, Zhang Yinghong and Xu Yi were so surprised that their mouths dropped open.

"The renovation looks so beautiful!"

"Is there a school right outside this villa?"

Their eyes were filled with relief.

After looking at the photo, I sighed and looked over again.

"Xiao Zhou has grown up and is very promising."

Zhang Yinghong couldn't help but sigh, "Your parents can't help you much either."

"This house is perfect for you to live in after you get married, then your parents won't live with you anymore."

"Yes, I've been watching short videos these past few days, and everyone's saying that young people need to have their own space."

As Xu Yi spoke, he took out his phone and opened a short video he had saved, saying earnestly, "It says here that you need to have space, and besides, aren't your villas quite close by?"

Xu Zhou's face darkened: "No need, my villa has two floors, you can stay upstairs and I'll stay downstairs."

Downstairs there is a large living room, bedroom, bathroom, and shower room, which are basically all available.

There are also several bedrooms upstairs.

Seeing that his parents were still hesitating, he added, "If the house is too big and there aren't enough people, it's not good."

Having heard what Xu Zhou said, they no longer refused and began to make arrangements for moving and warming up the new house.

Xu Zhou then returned to his room.

After resting for a while, I continued working on the comics.

...

In the second half of episode 8 of Food Wars!, after the Aldini brothers made their roasted hybrid duck at the Italian restaurant, Soma Yukihira also started cooking with Megumi Tadokoro.

Since all the ingredients had to be picked from the mountain, the two began frantically gathering resources on the mountain.

They even took a bag of persimmon seeds from the teacher to use as a coating for fried dough.

Just as everyone was still in a daze, Soma Yukihira's dish was ready.

Fried Assorted Red-Spotted Salmon

"This red-spotted salmon is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it's delicious!"

"The essence of the red-spotted salmon is all wrapped in the batter."

The teacher gave it high praise, even complimenting the seasonings.

"This mayonnaise and the thick sauce made with Sichuan pepper buds go very well together."

"The addition of tender Sichuan peppercorn buds to the mayonnaise not only makes it more refreshing but also helps to cut through the richness."

"You can even feel the creamy texture when you eat it; it's a perfect combination!"

This dish easily passed the test, but unfortunately it couldn't compete with the Aldini brothers.

...

The second lesson came quickly after the first.

The second lesson was noticeably different from the previous one.

Previously, the focus of small group classes was on quality, but now it's not just about quality, but also quantity.

The customers for the second class were all from bodybuilding clubs, football clubs, rugby clubs, and wrestling clubs.

"Tonight's meal is steak and rice."

"Each person makes fifty servings."

[Training Camp Steak Rice Set Meal]

It not only provides the quantity.

A time limit was also given.

"If you can't make enough for fifty people within sixty minutes, you'll be expelled on the spot."

...

When Xu Zhou finished drawing this part, he glanced at the steak rice above.

"There's meat, vegetables, and soup..."

"This looks healthier than the Chariabin steak set meal."

"If this is for a bodybuilder, then this meal plan should be nutritionally balanced."
