They Gather Here

Kato Megumi "Pfft!" laughed out loud, and replied, "It's clear that you did it first."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Erina looked at them, her face darkened, and she thought that this Megumi Kato was indeed a formidable enemy, who could easily steal the fruits of victory.

Have you become a tool man again?

Own……

Counted?

The girl felt that her IQ was not enough.

Kato Megumi patted her hand, handed the bag over, and said with a smile, "I invite you for the dim sum. I waited in line for a long time to buy it. You should like it."

There was something to eat, and Erina's attention was instantly diverted.

She opened the bag and saw all kinds of dumplings and meatballs, and subconsciously asked, "Why did you buy so many kinds?"

Megumi Kato replied: "Some people in the commercial street queued up to buy them and gave them to me forcibly."

"Hey?"

"They said, 'Must give Boss Lo a taste'."

"Let me try it?" Luo Zhen was a little confused, "Has this store affected the business of the commercial street?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Kato Megumi nodded seriously, "It should be a terrible competitor."

horrible?

Both Luo Zhen and Erina disdain this kind of words.

"Eat first." They said in unison.

"..."

"..."

It's a little embarrassing.

Megumi Kato looked left and right, and took Erina's hand: "Eri, come and taste it first, good boy~"

This move is an indiscriminate attack, no matter who it is, it is not an opponent.

No way.

Erina put her hand into the bag, then took out a bunch of soy sauce balls, put it into her mouth, after chewing a few mouthfuls, her eyes suddenly opened wide.

what 's wrong?

Soy sauce meatballs, also known as "Mitarai", are a kind of meatballs made with arrowroot powder and Japanese soy sauce. They are salty, sweet and salty, and the taste is even stronger when they are dipped in bean noodles. The Kyoto area is the most famous.

But what Kato Megumi brought is completely different.

First of all, it is delicious, needless to say.

The most important thing is that it surpasses the taste of glutinous rice cake, which is softer and more glutinous, which is very rare.

Erina said very positively: "It's not kudzu powder."

"Oh?" Luo Zhen also became interested.

"You try it."

"Well……"

"You should try it!"

"You've already eaten, how can I take a bite?"

what is the relationship! ?

Even though she thought so in her heart, Erina couldn't help but blush a little.

But the arrow was on the string and she had no choice but to send it. In front of Kato Hui, she didn't want to show weakness, so she stretched out her hand and sent the bunch of meatballs she gnawed to Luo Zhen.

The meaning is already very clear——

It must be eaten by the old lady, and eaten up!

Luo Zhen didn't know what to do, he stretched his head forward, and on the premise of not touching the bamboo stick as much as possible, he bit a ball and rolled it down.

(￣～￣) chewing...

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!

Erina is right, this meatball is indeed not made of arrowroot powder.

Luo Zhen didn't have a "God's Tongue", so he concentrated on savoring carefully, decomposing, restoring, and reconstructing the taste in his mind.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I see, it should be..."

"Grind glutinous rice flour with water." Again in unison.

Water-milled glutinous rice flour is known for its softness, toughness, and glutinous aroma.

It can be used to make gnocchi, Yuanxiao and other foods and family snacks, especially Ningbo gnocchi, which is famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces for its unique flavor.

In other words, compared to arrowroot powder, it is a more authentic Chinese ingredient.

"I highly doubt that the water-milled glutinous rice flour used in this store is handmade." Luo Zhen said, "It must go through the process of [glutinous rice→soaking→sand milling→sieving→filtering→crushing→drying]. It took a lot of hard work.”

"Indeed." Erina nodded in agreement, "Besides, the sauce is not just soy sauce, although the base is light soy sauce, but there must be something else, this sticky texture and sweet taste can't be made by soy sauce. "

"Want to hear my analysis?"

"Don't give a shit."

"I speculate that the starch should be dissolved in water first, then mixed with soy sauce, boiled in a pot, added sugar, and then added starch to thicken it."

"It can also be said to be very complicated."

Erina couldn't help looking at the snacks in her hand again.

Authentic mitarai is eaten with soy sauce and grilled, but the "steamed" version in front of you is superior in taste, and the taste is far superior to several levels.

She raised her head and looked at Luo Zhen: "You sang a song called "Egg Fried Rice" to me before, remember?"

Luo Zhen couldn't help feeling frustrated: "..."

"Sing it again."

"do not want!"

"Hurry up and sing it again~" Once Tsundere acts like a baby, the lethality is infinite, not to mention that Erina also found a helper, "Senior Kato, you haven't heard you sing before, have you?"

then……

"Good boy~" Kato Megumi smiled.

"Pfft!" Luo Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sing~"

"Say it first, you are not allowed to laugh at me."

"Don't laugh, don't laugh."

"Hey! Egg fried rice! The easiest and the most difficult! The rice needs to be separated! It must be covered with eggs!"

"Pfft!"

I knew these two girls would laugh.

A Chinese rap, translated into Japanese, it would be weird if it wasn't a spoof.

Chapter 34 World Docks and Dumplings ([-])

Although Luo Zhen's singing skills are terrible, the lyrics have a simple truth——

The easiest and most difficult.

A basic dish can best test the chef's attitude and skills.

Mitarai is so delicious, it is indeed somewhat beyond Erina's expectations, making the girl subconsciously look at other snacks, and the moment she opens the bag is like opening Solomon's treasure, full of novelty.

"蒟(jǔ)蒻(ruò)?" she called softly.

Konjac, or konjac, is an ingredient mostly produced in Gunma Prefecture. Since the output of konjac accounts for 90% of neon, the locals have to use this colorless and odorless ingredient to try and innovate.

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

No matter how rich the shape is, the food made is generally bland.

Ever since, people can only comfort themselves, anyway, it is also written in ancient books that konjac is traditionally not a delicacy, but an ideal medicinal material for treating diabetes and sores.

For the sake of health, I can bear it if it doesn't taste good.

Even though she was not confident, Erina picked up the bamboo stick and took a bite of the konjac.

Unexpectedly, it is another innovative cuisine.

It's tofu.

It turns out that after the tofu cubes are cooked, they are spread with a layer of sauce, and then wrapped with konjac chips.

In other words, appearance fraudsters.

Although konjac is tasteless, it is very chewy, and the roasted tofu deliberately chooses silken tofu with a fine and firm texture, which is very soft and waxy, and the two form a layered taste.

Moreover, the sauce should also be homemade, and the main ingredients are chopped peppers or green and red peppers.

Konjac is not easy to taste, but now it is much better with tofu, plus it is a more appetizing spicy sauce, the taste is quite good.

Erina even thought that if it is a stir-fried dish, put minced meat in the konjac, it must taste amazing.

"Not bad," she said.

If this girl can say it's not bad, it means it's really delicious.

It's a pity that there is only one bunch of konjac.

There was no way out, Luo Zhen could only grab the food, and took the bag containing the snacks into his hand.
