They Gather Here

"Well, that's certainly your style."

"My style?"

"Don't care about other people's eyes, it doesn't matter if you don't get any praise, just..."

Having said that, Hiratsuka fell silent.

Because, she saw Tsurumi Rumi's figure appearing by the window on the second floor.

The little girl obviously noticed that they were still downstairs, she stretched out her right hand and waved it a few times, but she naturally looked away and hid in the room.

From this point of view, there is no praise at all.

Luo Zhen smiled and asked, "Will there be a good result?"

Yukinoshita: "No."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, Kato Megumi, Eriri: "Yes."

Luo Zhen didn't want to think about the fact that "the truth is in the hands of a few people", but his sixth sense told him that Yukinoshita was right.

Jing Keai showed a wry smile: "You guys..."

Kato Megumi held Yukinoshita's hand: "Xiaoxue, can't we be her friends?"

To be honest, Yukinoshita herself is still confused about how to interpret the word "friend".

Just when she was about to say something, Jing Keai suddenly threw the lighter over.

The brand is Cartier, silver and black widened, no fingerprints can be seen on it, you can tell by looking at the maintenance condition, it is the owner's favorite.

What Jing Shuai likes is really masculine.

Ying Lili showed a puzzled expression: "Teacher, what is this..."

"It's a reward for you." Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed to the warehouse, "There are buckets and fireworks in it, take them out and play."

"Hey?"

"This time, thank you for your hard work."

A gentle smile appeared on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face.

It was obvious that traveling with public funds, but it was said to be so tall, several people couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, the next sentence of my consultant teacher destroyed this atmosphere: "You guys must not relax, pay attention to safety when using fire~"

Is this guy a granny?

Luo sincerely complained.

However, the three girls were very excited, and opened the warehouse door with the key borrowed by the teacher, and took out the fireworks from inside.

It is said to be "fireworks", but they are actually hand-held fireworks called "fairy sticks" and "xianxiang fireworks". They are easy to operate, safe and environmentally friendly, and are deeply loved by children.

It can be seen that the girls in the neighborhood committee are no different from children.

Ying Lili ignited the fairy wand, and the front end immediately spewed out green sparks.

"It's beautiful!" she exclaimed in a low voice.

Then, she swung it around, drawing tracks in the air with sparks, as if dancing.

This gameplay is a bit interesting, but it is relatively extravagant, and the fairy stick will be completely consumed in a short while.

So, it's the turn of incense sticks and fireworks.

Yukinoshita blocked the wind with her body and lit the incense sticks. Kato Megumi and Eiriri simply sat on the ground and lit the fire carefully in the same way as her, and the incense sticks "cracked" and emitted light.

It didn't take long for the tinder to fall, and the molten iron-like orange light quickly dimmed after landing.

The air fell silent as if by magic.

Luo Zhen also wanted to play, but Chitanda's breathing behind him was steady, and one couldn't help thinking how regular this guy's usual routine was.

At this time, Hiratsuka patted him quietly: "They can rest, but you can't."

"I know." Luo Zhen nodded, "I promised you last night, isn't it just a meal~"

"I have already informed the proprietress about the use of the kitchen, you just go."

"But, what about Chitanda..."

"give it to me."

Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched out her hands, and it looked like she was going to give the first grade a princess hug.

Will this work?

Seeing the other party's confident face, Luo Zhen had no choice but to follow suit.

I didn't expect that Jing's handsomeness is really not just superficially handsome, the appearance of hugging Chitanda really has the demeanor of a mature adult.

Isn't it super reliable?

Why can't I find a man?

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen moved his stiff shoulders and went straight to the back kitchen of the other building.

What Jing Keai said was indeed true, the door was unlocked, and there was a note saying "except for the ingredients in the white refrigerator, all other items can be taken at will".

Although he was curious about what ingredients were in the white refrigerator, Luo Zhen was not Chitanda after all, so he held back.

He decided to cook bamboo forest style cuisine, and the first dish was grilled fish in bamboo tubes.

This grilled fish dish is an innovative fish dish made by the Dong people based on the method of making rice in bamboo tubes. The method of making it is quite simple.

Since it is from China, it is naturally a local ingredient.

For example, the main ingredient, herring, is a chubby freshwater fish. Because it has no belly ribs, it is round and round, like a cylinder.

However, Luo Zhen found an alternative carp.

This is somewhat unexpected——

Neon is surrounded by the sea, and there are very rich sea fish resources. Relatively speaking, Neon people prefer sea fish without earthy smell.

Of course, this eating habit is also related to the strict environmental protection policy that began in the [-]s.

Luo Zhen put the fish on the cutting board and started to process it.

The first step is processing.

In order to fix it, he held the body of the fish with one hand, passed the chopsticks through the belly of the fish with the other hand, and began to scrape the scales with the back of the knife obliquely towards the head of the fish, especially at the fins, and scraped very carefully. Clean out the internal organs of the carp, and then apply a clean cloth to the body of the fish.

In this way, a carp is almost handled.

The only difficulty is not to break the fish gall when gutting, otherwise the fish will taste bitter.

Next comes preparation.

Take salt, pepper, miso and spread all over the fish, chicken breast, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, ham, scallions, ginger shreds.

The bamboo tube is washed after being opened at one end, and the bamboo leaves are washed with water for use.

Finally, cooking.

Heat the pot, get butter, put all kinds of shreds into the pot, add salt, seasoning and stir-fry, take out the pot and let it cool.

This step should have used lard, but it was difficult for Neon to find this material, so I had to settle for the next best thing and use animal butter instead.

However, in the cooking of most dishes and snacks, the purpose of using lard is to layer and enhance flavor, so butter is also good.

Luo Zhen put all kinds of cold silk into the belly of the fish, first wrapped the whole body with butter, then wrapped the outer layer with bamboo leaves, and put the bamboo leaves into the bottom of the bamboo tube, put the wrapped carp into the bamboo tube, Plug the mouth of the bamboo tube with bamboo leaves and cover the mouth of the tube tightly, and put it into the oven.

The next step is to wait.

It takes an hour to bake.

Surely Luo Zhen would not waste this time, so he began to search for ingredients, and soon found something suitable.

He wants to make diced bamboo shoots and minced pork siu mai.

The reason for choosing this dish is that there is glutinous rice that has been washed and dried in advance in the kitchen, which can be cooked directly in the pot, so that the cooked glutinous rice is relatively dry.

Just as he was adjusting the steamer, two unexpected people walked in——

Chitanda and Yukinoshita.

The face of the first grade was flushed, and he apologized as soon as he entered the door: "I'm sorry, Senior Luo, I actually fell asleep."

"It's okay." Luo Zhen waved his hand.

"Let me help you."

"Well……"

"Let her help you." Yukinoshita said, "I'll come too."

Luo Zhen couldn't refuse, so he directly assigned the work.

Without further ado, Chitanda began to process the pork into minced meat, poured mirin into it, Yukinoshita was in charge of processing the diced bamboo shoots, and Luo Zhen was kneading noodles that required physical strength.

The three of them worked together in a division of labor and cooperated very tacitly.

When Chitanda finished the minced pork belly, Luo Zhen added the five-spice powder in five or six times, and stirred in one direction at the same time.

The purpose is to make the taste more tender, and the five-spice powder also helps to get rid of the fishy smell in the meat.

After this step is over, Luo Zhen will make the final seasoning.

He added minced green onion and ginger, light soy sauce, salt, and white sugar that can enhance the freshness. In order to make the minced meat more smooth and tender, and at the same time lock in the moisture, he even added an egg, and then added it to the snow. diced bamboo shoots and glutinous rice, stir well.

The stuffing is ready.

Unexpectedly, it took so much thought and effort just to adjust the stuffing, Yukinoshita couldn't help admiring it.

"How long does the dough need to rise?" the girl asked.

"No need." Luo Zhen replied, "Do you still remember the 'dead face' that Sawamura said last time?"

"Well……"

"Because it is very thin, dead noodles can be used for siu mai skin."

Luo Zhen dipped water around the dough, then folded a circle of pleats, and then slowly rolled it up with a tiger's mouth. The wrapped siu mai was rotated by hand for a few weeks to wrap the filling perfectly.

Then, he ordered a green bean on the bud-like opening, sprinkled some diced carrots, and put them in the cage.
