They Gather Here

"Even if you say that, I can't help it." Luo Zhen sighed, "There is an old saying in China, 'A clever woman can't cook without rice', I can't use tomatoes instead of persimmons, can I?"

"Pfft!"

"You... what's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

really nothing?

But the pencil in my hand is broken, hey!

Luo Zhen looked at Ying Lili worriedly, while the latter had an expression of resignation, extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, an unexpected assist appeared.

"Second graders, did you just mention persimmons?" Hanoi took out a packaging bag, "Is this okay?"

It is persimmon.

There are roughly two types of persimmons in neon:

As a representative of auspiciousness, it is packaged in an exquisite box and used as a gift, similar to Huaxia;

The other is the one given in Hanoi, bagged, cut into small pieces, and made into thick dim sum.

The so-called thick snacks are, to put it bluntly, snacks.

Its target group is very clear-children, of course, merchants will not stop adults from buying.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that its taste is generally sweet.

Ying Lili tentatively asked with some worry: "Luo Jun, can this work?"

Just now she was pushing Luo Zhen to restore Yangquan green pepper shredded pork, but now she is worrying about gain and loss, worrying that he will break the invincible myth of "can cook any dish" because of herself.

It's a pity that boys generally can't figure out girls' complicated thoughts.

Luo Zhen gave her a strange look: "Sawamura, why did you suddenly change your tone?"

"You can do whatever you want!" Ying Lili flicked her ponytails proudly, "Huh——"

Kato Megumi hurried forward to appease: "Be good~"

Seeing this situation, Hanoi suddenly pursed his lips, muttered "interesting", then moved a chair to sit next to Shiina Mashiro, and threw the persimmon over.

"I provided the ingredients, so I should be able to try them?" she asked.

"Of course!" Luo Zhen stretched out his hand and took it easily.

I saw that the package had been torn open, and the opening was tied with a rubber band. After pulling it off, you could see the small white pieces inside.

This white substance attached to it is called "persimmon frost".

Since persimmons are made by natural sun drying, as the water evaporates, the fructose dissolved in water precipitates out during this process, forming persimmon frost. It can be seen from the production process that less water + retained fructose means that persimmons are sweeter than persimmons the secret.

Luo Zhen pondered for a moment, and already had a solution.

He waved to Yukinoshita, and whispered a few words like this.

The latter immediately understood and acted.

The girl took out ten persimmons and soaked them in a very small amount of water. After the persimmon frost melted, she took out half of the persimmons and put them aside.

And Luo Zhen has already taken this opportunity to start processing other ingredients.

The first is shredded.

His movements are rather light, yet extremely steady.

With the sound of "da da da" from the chopping board, the bamboo shoots, green peppers, and lean meat danced under the hands as if they had come to life, and they were all in place in a blink of an eye, forming silk of uniform thickness.

Ying Lili is very sure that if you use a ruler to measure, you will definitely find that the gap between each root is measured in millimeters.

Followed by hanging broth.

Luo Zhen prefers chicken or big bone broth, but considering it takes too long, kombu is used.

He first wiped off the dust attached to the surface of kombu, then added it to the water, turned on medium heat, and took it out before the water boiled, then changed to low heat, and slowly added canned bonito flakes to cook.

After 3 minutes, the bonito aroma is released and the broth is complete.

At this point, the materials are ready.

Luo Zhen dried the dried persimmons, put them into a bowl, then poured the persimmon cream solution, added broth and thick soy sauce, and put them into a cooking machine to make a sauce.

Then heat the pan, and then pour a lot of oil. When it is 6% hot, add the shredded pork to the oil. After the shredded pork changes color, add the shredded bamboo shoots and stir fry for a while.

Next, place the green peppers on a strainer (a large kitchen colander) so that the peppers can be oiled while the oil is spilling.

Finally, put the base oil in the pot, put the adjusted sauce into the pot, fry until fragrant, add the three shreds that have been oiled before, stir fry for a while, and then come out of the pot.

Yangquan green pepper shredded pork, done!

Luo Zhen put it on a plate and served it on the table: "Try it."

Ying Lili was the first to poke her head over.

Great!

The dishes are very beautiful. The shredded pork and bamboo shoots are the perfect sauce color, which is in sharp contrast with the green of the green pepper.

At least, it's much better than the black ones.

The most amazing thing is that the roots of the three wires are distinct, and there is no sticking together at all.

For the sake of comics, Ying Lili has studied a lot of recipes recently, and knows that it is not easy to do this without the help of water starch, and the chef must have a very high standard.

First, the knife work, the wire must be cut fine enough;

Second, speed, the speed must be fast during the stir-frying process, and the heat must be controlled so that the ingredients are heated evenly.

The second point is particularly difficult to achieve, because the home economics classroom is a combination of pans and induction cookers, and in the absence of an open flame, one can only rely on experience.

The word "color" alone in this menu can score 8 points or even higher.

So, what about the taste?

Thinking of yesterday's failed product, Ying Lili couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

At this moment, the sound of "creaking" chewing came, which was unbelievably crisp.

The girl turned her head.

I saw Yayako Hanoi had already picked up her chopsticks.

There was a strange blush on her face, like a patient recovering from a fever, or soaking in a hot spring.

This look doesn't lie.

After staying in the Yierhe Neighborhood Committee for a long time, Ying Lili was used to this, so she completely gave up the idea of ​​not daring to try.

She clasped her palms together and said, "I'm starting~", then picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it into her mouth.

tasty!

The green peppers are crisp and raw in the mouth, the bamboo shoots are extremely fresh, and the meat is heart-wrenchingly tender.

And the sauce that wraps them is even more impossible to ignore——

The sweetness of the persimmon, the freshness of the broth, and the saltiness of the soy sauce complement each other, creating a soft concerto in the mouth.

why?

Why is the food you cook so rubbish?

Ying Lili knew that it was stupid to replace persimmons with tomatoes, but it wasn't that bad.

She asked subconsciously: "Luo Jun, why do the flavors of every ingredient in my dishes stand out and are quite contradictory?"

This is the doubt that every novice will have.

Luo Jun answered casually: "Because the ratio of ingredients is wrong."

"But, the recipes you gave me are full of words like 'moderate', 'a small amount', and 'enough', what should I do?"

"This shows that you are not suitable to start with Chinese cuisine."

It turned out to be the case.

Ying Lili seems to have realized something.

At this moment, a certain "corpse" woke up slowly.

Shiina Mashiro yawned and sat up straight, and instantly saw the Yangquan shredded pork with green peppers on the table.

She directly made a conclusion: "It must be better than the cooking made by the seniors in Ze Village!"

Ying Lili: "Pfft!"

For the third time today, the girl was hit hard.

However, Shiina Mashiro didn't care about her feelings, but directly picked up the chopsticks, took a big bite and put it into his mouth.

For a moment, her eyes sparkled: "Who did this?"

"Me." Luo Zhen raised his hand, "What's wrong?"

"Senior Luo, please be my pet owner!"

"Don't even think about it!" Said in unison x3.

Except for Chitanda, the three girls hugged their waists one by one, and the other two pulled their left and right hands separately, dragging Shiina Mashiro away from Luo Zhen's side desperately.

Hanoi is not happy: "Don't persecute the juniors of our art department!"

"Don't forget that what you are eating now is the food of our neighborhood committee." Yukinoshita smiled disdainfully and contemptuously, "Don't want to eat?"

Did you cook that dish?

The girls in the neighborhood committee are all liars!

Hanoi was pretty upset.

but……

"It's fine if I don't exist, please continue to persecute me."

"Humph--"
