They Gather Here

The shaking stopped.

After a long time, Shiina Mashiro lifted the blanket and poked her head out from inside.

She stared at Ying Lili with her orange eyes for a while, and finally sighed as if giving up, picked up a non-scale ruler and utility knife from the table, and then stood in front of the kitchen counter.

"It seems that I can't cut it." The girl said seriously.

"Are you really serious about cutting dot paper?" Ying Lili was confused.

"Isn't that what you said just now?"

"Let's use this."

With that said, Ying Lili handed over the chef's knife.

In order to practice, Shiina Mashiro performed a few slashing movements, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I didn't expect it to be so easy to use."

After saying this sentence with a tendency to blacken, the girl lowered her head and operated seriously.

Her movements were slow, but to her surprise, her wrist was as steady as when cutting dot paper, and she cut ten meat shreds with even thickness in a short time.

It seems that she has already regarded the work in front of her as a part of manga practice.

What a simple girl.

Ying Lili was also infected, and she let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm herself down.

Then, she also got the ruler and started working on the green peppers.

If you want to make a questionnaire about the foods that neon people hate, green peppers can definitely be on the list——

Not spicy, nutritious, but super unpalatable.

The reason is very simple. Japanese food advocates the original taste of food, and the method of green pepper has become extremely strange. In short, it is to boil water and add salt.

Can this be eaten?

Liu Maoxing's coffin could barely hold it down.

Therefore, when Luo Zhen suggested that the dish in Chapter 5 was Yangquan Green Pepper Shredded Pork, Ying Lili refused. It was not until the other party made herself a green pepper scrambled egg that she was completely conquered.

The girl could still remember how Luo Zhen dealt with it, so she decided to follow her memory and try to figure it out.

She removed the tail of the pepper, shook it slightly to remove the seeds, then pressed down the pepper with the back of the knife, and cut the pepper horizontally using a ruler.

result……

After cutting, it is still in the shape of a pepper.

Ying Lili wanted to cry, but she was stimulated by the pepper.

At this moment, Shiina Mashiro's voice came: "Lily, I finished cutting the meat, is there any more?"

Ying Lili cast her gaze over.

I saw shredded pork piled up on the chopping board in a small lump, and nothing could be seen on the surface, but when you picked it up, you would find that the thickness of each shredded meat was perfect.

Is Shiina Mashiro a hidden boss?

The corner of Ying Lili's mouth collapsed, and she pushed the "green pepper shreds" over in frustration: "It's really black, can you save these?"

"Hmm..." Shiina Mashiro observed carefully, "It doesn't seem to work."

"Pfft!"

"what happened?"

"Cut the bamboo shoots for me. It should be as thick as shredded pork."

"Ok."

Ying Lili sighed, cracked an egg, scooped out the yolk with a spoon, then added shredded pork, starch, Shaoxing wine, and thick soy sauce, stirred well and then marinated.

Fortunately, this step is simple enough for even clumsy hands.

During the waiting time, Shiina Mashiro also processed the shredded bamboo shoots, which were still of high quality as always.

In this way, all the raw materials were finally prepared in a stumbling manner.

PS:

The "green pepper" in shredded pork with green peppers represents different ingredients in different places. In some regions it is vegetable peppers, and in some regions it is sharp peppers.

Chapter 16 Cooking Idiots and Pseudo-Yangquan Green Pepper Shredded Pork

?

"What else is there to do?" Shiina Mashiro asked.

The girl's tone seemed a little excited, and one even wondered if a strange switch had been turned on.

Ying Lili coughed and shook her head: "Then I will fight alone."

"Don't cartoonists need assistants?"

"You are so black!"

"????"

"Well, forget it, you go on to work first, and when the dishes are ready, let's eat together."

"Then I'll cook for you."

Shiina Mashiro operated the rice cooker like this, and finally got it done.

Then, she cleaned up the non-scale ruler, and then staggered back to the table and sat down, continuing to draw the manga.

Call ~

Finally gone.

Ying Lili couldn't help but let out a long breath, and refocused.

According to the setting in "Food の Shura · Zhen", the sauce of Yangquan green pepper shredded pork needs to be pressed into a paste, and then stirred with broth and dark soy sauce.

But how does it work in practice?

Ying Lili fell into deep thought, and then, a formula came to mind——

Huaxia dark soy sauce ≈ neon soy sauce.

This is what Luo Jun said.

But he also said that in actual use, if there is no need to apply a particularly heavy color, thick soy sauce can be used.

So Ying Lili poured some thick soy sauce into a small bowl and continued to think.

What about the broth?

At Neon, the most common is kelp dashi, which is slightly milder, and for richer ones, kombu bonito or bonito dried dashi.

But the problem is that Yinglili doesn't have those ingredients, and it's too late to cook them now.

She can only use her brains to find another way out.

The source of umami is glutamic acid, which belongs to the "common sense" that 30% of people in Neon know.

The reason is that the main ingredient in MSG is monosodium glutamate, which happened to be found in kelp by Neon scientists in 1908.

In other words, just find a glutamate-rich substitute to make a stock.

Ying Lili opened the refrigerator again and began to search.

However, hopes were dashed.

Are you going to lose at this step?

Not reconciled, she looked around subconsciously, and then found a pack of scallops (commonly known as "scallops"), which was a gift from Sonoko Machida when she came to pick up the manuscript last time.

At that time, Sonoko Machida made a soup whose rich taste made people unable to look directly at it.

But anyway, a substitute was found.

Suddenly, Ying Lili felt that everything in the world was in the palm of her hand.

"O(∩_∩)Ohaha~" The girl laughed wildly with her hips on her hips, "That's right, I am the legendary 'Doctor of Taste and Knowledge'."

(Voiceover: Zenji Marui sneezes)

She took a handful of scallops and soaked them in hot water, then seasoned with salt.

Soup, done!

The next step is to cut half a tomato into cubes, pour it into a cooking machine together with thick soy sauce and broth, and blend it into a sauce.

The last is frying.

At this time, Ying Lili was exhausted physically and mentally, and she even forgot the step of heating the pot, and poured oil directly into it.

In an instant, "crackling", oil stars splashed everywhere.

So cool!

Listening to that voice, Ying Lili felt a pleasure of venting her stagnation in her heart.

She waited for the oil to heat up, lubricated the shredded pork with oil, and after the shredded pork changed color, added shredded bamboo shoots and shredded green peppers, stir-fried for a while, and then drained the waste oil with a colander.

Finally, pour the base oil into the pot, put the prepared sauce into the pot, sauté until fragrant and add the three shredded sauce.

Invincible Spiral Fried Fry!

Soon, a strong smell overflowed.

Unfortunately, it's not fragrant at all.

It was like the smell of sour radish mixed with canned herring, and it rushed straight into Yinglili's nostrils.

To be poisoned...

The girl hurriedly pressed the power button on the induction cooker.
