Chapter 220 Opening the Heart Knot
in this world.
No matter how perfect and delicious the food is, it only has the effect of filling the stomach.
Although in the later period, most chefs awakened their powers and made a "qualitative" leap in their cooking skills, they still cannot compare with the cooking in "The Little Master of China".
Flame dumplings.
Reincarnation spring rolls.
Baoshan Feilong Hotpot.
Strong chilled sea bream mountain.
Magic Mapo Tofu.
Bouncing Turtle Soup.
…
The special recipes Zhang Fan has are beyond the scope of ordinary gourmet food, and they are beyond human understanding!
Not to mention anything else, just the glowing effect is enough to subvert everything.
In the world of "Little Master of China", in order to make delicious dishes, many chefs almost have amazing physiques, and even possess various superpowers, breaking through the limits of human beings in minutes, such as:
The fierce bull Azure Dragon Slash, which can instantly dismember a cow.
Silver chopsticks that can control ten pots for cooking at the same time.
All the nerves in the body can be concentrated in the eyes, so that their pupils can accurately capture all the actions of the target person.
And, let the body's conditioned reflexes be normal, and make the same cooking and cooking as the other party:
Super visual ability!
Of course.
The most buggy thing is those legendary kitchen utensils.
In short, in this world.
To everyone, Zhang Fan's special recipes are not only magical dishes, but also an impact from the origin of food, as powerful as a nuclear bomb!
…
"No gelatin?"
"Relying on the colloid of the turtle soup itself, it can form this super elastic effect after cooling?"
At this time, Fei Shasha's mentality completely collapsed.
She had always known that Zhang Fan's cooking skills were really strong, so strong that even Erina and Nakiri Managi, who had the ability of God's Tongue, fell at his feet.
But she rarely had the opportunity to taste Zhang Fan's cooking.
In her memory, every time she came to the izakaya, she followed Erina to the izakaya.
Then, as a bystander, quietly watch how Zhang Fan conquers Erina with cooking step by step?
As for.
Herself……
It is often an embarrassing situation where we can only see it but not taste it.
Now, facing this bowl of bouncing turtle soup, she couldn't help but think of the burger she also made with turtle in the quarterfinals.
Although they both use turtle, they are not the same type of cuisine after all.
But even so.
The gap between her and Zhang Fan is really more than just a tiny bit!
"As expected."
"There are never bad ingredients, only bad cooks!"
"Now I finally understand why Miss Erina only loves the cooking you make."
"It's not like me. I have been taking care of the eldest lady's daily life. I have stayed by her side and been inseparable every day. But...it's really shameful to say that I don't even know what kind of food she likes the most."
At the end of the sentence, there was inevitably a bit of helplessness and compassion in Fei Shasha's eyes.
…
For this Bouncing Turtle Soup.
There are many secrets, and she wants to continue to ask, for example:
Why does the food have a residual temperature after cooling?
And why, even though soft-shell turtles contain a lot of protein and colloids, can they achieve such amazing elasticity without any chemical food additives?
However.
Until now, she understood.
Even if you continue to ask, there is no point.
After all, there are some things that she needs to work hard for her whole life.
It is destined to be impossible to master, and even more impossible to surpass Zhang Fan in front of him!
"Fei Shasha, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Seeing Fei Shasha's confusion and pain, Zhang Fan just asked lightly.
"ah?"
"this and that……"
"When I first met you, just like the eldest lady, I always felt that you were just a vain person!"
"However, as I got to know you better, I realized that you are really charming."
"Especially when it comes to cooking, your talents and abilities are really astonishing. To be honest... to be honest, I actually admire you in my heart."
"You can do almost anything."
"Nothing can trouble you.
"Of course, more importantly, you seem to understand Miss Erina better than I do."
Every word.
Every word.
All revealed Fei Shasha's admiration for Zhang Fan.
Well, it also includes the love hidden in the heart!
…
"Yeah?"
"In your heart, I am such an amazing person!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan seemed to have a smile on his face: "Then do you know what my ideal is?"
"You don't seem to have any ideals, right?"
"At most, I just want to run this izakaya."
Fei Shasha said truthfully after blinking his bright eyes.
"right!"
"My ideals are not very complicated."
"Maybe you won't believe it, but actually I just want to live a peaceful life."
"And no one, including me, knows what the fate of this izakaya will be in the future."
"I am very strong. I am indeed far ahead of my peers in the field of cooking, but I am not so strong that I have the final say in this world. But even so, my determination and belief have never wavered. Pass."
"I want to come."
"you know too."
"Totsuki Academy, WGO Food Organization, HUB Food Company..."
"These forces that can profoundly influence the food industry have all offered me olive branches and promised me many benefits."
"But I rejected them all, and there was never any hesitation or temptation from the beginning to the end."
Fei Shasha looked at Zhang Fan's handsome face for a long time.
ideal?
Compared with Zhang Fan.
Maybe, she has no ideals, right?
Rather than an ideal, the goal she wants to achieve most is not for herself, but for Erina!
…
"I...I know."
"Thank you for telling me this. You are indeed an amazing person!"
Finally, after thinking about it, Fei Shasha's mood suddenly became brighter.
A peach blossom without a leaf is destined to be monotonous and less beautiful.
The so-called "red flowers with green leaves" means that the protagonist or successful person needs assistance or foil to show his value.
As far as plants are concerned.
Each flower will be accompanied by more or less green leaves.
This can be said to be a natural law in the plant world. When mapped into reality, it can be compared to the relationship between Erina and Hiisako.
people.
There are always unsatisfied and unsatisfied desires.
It is this desire that can inspire everyone's ambition.
In Totsuki, where competition is fierce, there must be many people like Erina, Alice, and Ryo Kurokiba who want to become "red flowers".
But there are very few people like Feishao who are willing to be unknown "green leaves"!
safflower?
Is it that good?
It will also wither, or it will be burned by the sun, it will be bitten by insects, it will be pulled out, etc.
Therefore, it is not necessarily bad to be willing to be a green leaf.
…
"Just figure it out."
"During this period, you will stay at the izakaya temporarily."
"Anyway, if you go back to Totsuki Academy and return to Erina's side, the relationship will only become awkward."
"It's better to live here for a while. When the time comes, I will let you go back."
Seeing that she was no longer depressed, Zhang Fan only chuckled and then took the initiative to let her stay in the izakaya.
"Thanks."
"Zhang Fan, thank you very much."
"If...if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do!"
After saying this, Fei Shasha, who was extremely grateful, suddenly stood up, then bent down towards Zhang Fan and bowed at a 45-degree angle to express his gratitude to him.
"You're welcome."
"I'm very willing to have you stay here."
"After all, the business of this izakaya has been very good recently, so there is still a bit of manpower shortage here."
Zhang Fan said.
So, in the middle of the autumn selection competition.
The izakaya unexpectedly welcomed a new temporary worker, Nito Hisako!
…
At night, the world seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil.
The sky gradually changes from deep blue to rich black, dotted with stars, like beacons in the universe, lighting up the silent night sky.
The moonlight shines softly on the earth, adding a touch of silvery luster to the night, making everything look so quiet and peaceful.
now.
At Totsuki Academy.
As the two rounds of the quarterfinals ended, the place gradually became deserted.
In a brightly lit villa, Erina Nakiri was lying on the bed reading a newly released light novel "Date A Live".
This book tells the story of the male protagonist, Shido, who discovers that he has the ability to seal the power of elves. He is recruited by the organization Ratatosk, who asks him to date elves and make them fall in love with him.
"ha?"
"This this……"
"It turns out that the way to date elves and then remove their abilities is..."
"kiss?"
As she looked at it, her face turned red.
"Hisako, besides Yatogami Tohka, how many elves will appear later?"
"Why!"
"Look at my memory."
"She has already run away from home. You will definitely not hear her when you call her!"
"Fei Shasha, Fei Shasha, where have you been? I...I'm very worried about you!"
Involuntarily, Erina, who regained her composure for a moment, became increasingly irritable and uneasy.
…
From small to large.
Fei Shasha has never left her side like this.
She has always been responsible for Erina's daily life.
Therefore, she naturally felt very uncomfortable at this time. At the same time, Erina also began to feel that she had no clue about many things in life and had no idea what to do!
"Jingle Bell……"
At this moment, the mobile phone next to Erina rang.
"Hello!"
"Zhang Fan, is that you?"
"Why did you call me all of a sudden? Could it be that...you...you said you missed me?"
Listening to the familiar voice on the phone, Erina's cute face turned even redder!
"ah?"
"Oh oh oh!"
"You mean Fei Sha Sha is on your side?"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to bother you, she... she lost to Kurokiba Ryo, so she must be in a bad mood. Just remember to comfort her if you're fine."
"Hmm...I...I...if I have time, I will go over to your place to visit her."
"Why!"
"Are you going to hang up?"
"But I still want to hear your voice, so can we talk for a while?"
So, in a quiet and warm atmosphere, the two chatted for more than an hour.
…
Finally, put down your phone.
Erina was in a good mood and lay on the bed again.
Her nervous and uneasy heart finally relaxed when she learned that Shinto Hisako, who had run away from home, was temporarily staying in an izakaya.
After all, with Zhang Fan by her side, Fei Shasha would never have any problems.
so.
Erina wants to understand.
He began to grab the quilt carelessly and cover himself, and soon fell into a sweet dream.
…
"Thank you."
"Call me and let the eldest lady know that she is safe."
"Otherwise, I don't know how long she will have to worry about my affairs."
Meanwhile, over at the izakaya.
When she saw that Zhang Fan and Erina had so much affection for each other and could actually talk on the phone for more than an hour, Fei Shao couldn't help but feel envious in her heart.
But in the end, she still said to Zhang Fan with great gratitude.
"hehe!"
"I told you everything."
"How can we two be so polite?"
"Just because you are Erina's secretary, I have always regarded you as a good friend!"
"Actually, when I first met Erina, I felt that although you standing behind me are not as beautiful as her, you are at least very unique!"
"And unlike Erina, you are more tolerant in character!"
"That is to say."
"I still have a very good impression of you."
At this time, Zhang Fan had a smile on his face, and then he said seriously to Fei Shasha.
"ah?"
"friend?"
"Do you have a good impression of me?"
Nito Feishako murmured, his eyes looking at Zhang Fan were a little blurry!
Suddenly, her delicate body softened and she walked towards Zhang Fan.
In the end, the distance between her and Zhang Fan was only a few centimeters, and the two of them were almost close to each other!
And smelling the masculine aura of Zhang Fan, Fei Sha's face naturally turned redder when he was so close!
"No!"
"No way!"
"I...I can't do this!"
Mu Ran, Fei Shasha, whose eyes became bright, quickly took a step back.
…
sometimes.
Even she herself didn't understand what her feelings for Zhang Fan were like.
Is it admiration?
Do you like it?
is love?
No matter what kind of feeling it is, Fei Shasha cannot deny that she is really unsatisfied.
She is often attracted by Zhang Fan's personal charm and gradually falls in love with him, but on the one hand, she doesn't want to compete with Erina for the same man, so she deliberately wants to avoid Zhang Fan!
Deep inside.
In fact, she knew.
She and Zhang Fan may be from two different worlds.
The harder I try to get close to him, the more uncomfortable it might be for me, right?
