They Gather Here

"It's delicious!" Erina commented happily.

The snow next door was about to cry.

Luo Zhen saw it, resisted the urge to laugh, and said, "Eri, don't eat so much, be careful of getting fat."

Theoretically speaking, baguette is a representative food that simplifies complexity. It only uses flour, yeast, water and a little salt, and it doesn’t even need oil, so it’s not easy to get fat.

But this thing is too brittle, it can be torn and eaten like a snack, and it can't be stopped at all.

This is what Erina is like now.

a bite...

Two bites...

Three bites...

(￣～￣) Chew!

The baguette with sardine ragu was wiped out.

Then, the girl wiped her mouth and took a deep breath of satisfaction: "I'm not afraid of getting fat, anyway, the fat will go to where it should be."

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced in Pingxia's direction, and the corner of her mouth curved.

This stuff is definitely intentional!

Yukinoshita was very angry, but because of the heavy facts before his eyes, he couldn't say a word for a long time.

She curled her lips in dissatisfaction, glared fiercely at Luo Zhen, and vented her anger.

Luo Zhen turned his head away, pretending not to see it.

At this time, Erina has already started to focus on eliminating the sardine ragu with lettuce.

Feuille d'endive, European endive (in many places "chrysanthemum" is used as "chrysanthemum", maybe it is a wrong use?), there is a delicacy called "ham endive" in northern France that uses this ingredient.

The raw leafy vegetables are crispy and raw. After chewing, the bitter juice overflows, wraps the meat sauce, and mixes with the rich aroma of the cream, stimulating the taste buds.

If baguette and bolognese are the contrast of taste, then the two are the contrast of taste.

The bitter taste of endive is very palatable, and the more you eat it, the more addictive it becomes.

In the blink of an eye, the dishes on the second plate were cleared away.

Seeing Erina eating so much, Yukinoshita couldn't help muttering, wondering if this guy is a pig, how can normal people eat so much.

As if to respond to doubts, Erina stopped her movements.

Yukinoshita thought it was her turn, her eyes lit up.

however……

"Xiaozhen, haven't you eaten yet?" Erina asked.

"Well, not yet." Luo Zhen nodded.

"Then eat it quickly. This sardine is super fresh. I can taste it. It is a high-end product in Jiujiuli."

"Stop showing off your tongue."

Luo Zhen complained, sat in front of the bar, and picked up the sardine meat sauce sandwich.

He opened his mouth wide, but didn't bite down directly. Instead, he looked at Yukinoshita beside him, and found that the other party looked aggrieved.

This is so rare.

Luo Zhen fell into deep thought, and understood the problem after a second.

"Do you want to eat?" he asked.

"No." Yukinoshita shook his head, "I'm not hungry, not at all..."

Before the words fell, the girl's stomach made a "gurgling" sound.

Then, she blushed.

The chef had no reason to let the diners go hungry, so Luo Zhen pushed the plate over and signaled the diners to eat first.

Yukinoshita wanted to refuse at first, but when he glanced at Erina, he suddenly changed his mind.

She smiled: "Student Luo would rather accommodate me first if I am hungry. Thank you so much."

Who says you're going to be hungry?

Luo Zhen was confused: "No, can you eat them all..."

"Thank you!"

"Hey?"

Why is this happening?

I want to eat too!

Luo Zhen touched his stomach that was completely starved and deflated, with a depressed expression on his face.

at the same time……

"stare--"

Erina's gaze was like a laser knife shining on her body, from the neck to the shoulders, and then to the groin, as if she wanted to dismember a certain chef surnamed Luo.

Luo Zhen couldn't help shivering.

"Eri, what...what's the matter?" He couldn't speak clearly.

"Would you rather be hungry than feed the lovely girl first?" The girl's voice seemed to come from the Nine Serenity Hell.

"I'm not! I don't!! Don't talk nonsense!!!"

"Then you can explain."

"Well... yes, isn't chef just such a profession that sacrifices oneself to illuminate others?"

This guy really dares to talk nonsense!

Erina stared at Luo Zhen for a while, then sighed suddenly, and walked into the back kitchen.

Like Rozen, she handles the sardines smoothly, but ends up choosing the fillets, cut into strips.

Then, shred the ginger, add mirin, salt, and pepper to the fish steak, mix well and marinate.

During this time, she used it to make face coverings.

The girl took out the fried powder, added water and eggs and stirred well to form a fine paste.

This step sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult, especially for female chefs who are physically disadvantaged, and the skill of rationally allocating physical strength is even more needed.

Yukinoshita watched from the side, and couldn't help being amazed.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Luo Zhen: "Student Luo, shall we go to Kamakura with the neighborhood committee?"

"But...cough cough...why?" Luo Zhen asked.

"Have you ever heard of the famous catfish effect?"

"of course."

Speaking of it, the origin of the catfish effect is also related to sardines.

Norwegians love sardines, especially live.

Therefore, the price of live fish in the market is much higher than that of dead fish, and fishermen always try to get sardines back to the fishing port alive.

But after all kinds of efforts, most of the sardines will still die due to suffocation on the way, and only one fishing boat can always make most of the sardines return to the fishing port alive.

The principle is very simple -

The captain put a catfish that mainly feeds on fish into the fish tank full of sardines. After the catfish entered the fish tank, it swam around because of the strange environment. , to accelerate swimming.

The problem of hypoxia is easily solved, and the sardines will not die.

In fact, saltwater catfish are only distributed in tropical and temperate saltwater, and are not distributed in the North Atlantic Ocean, so it should be a rumor that the Norwegian invented the "catfish effect".

But because this negative incentive management model is very practical, its allusions have been handed down.

Luo Zhen looked at Yukinoshita, puzzled and said, "What does going to Kamakura have to do with the catfish effect?"

Yukinoshita replied: "To unite a group of people, what is needed is not a wise leader, but a common enemy."

Obviously, the "common enemy" here refers to Erina.

As for why...

Luo Zhen couldn't figure it out.

He said casually: "You really speak for the club, I choose you to be the speaker."

"???" Yukinoshita was puzzled.

"No, I was just playing a joke."

The girl rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

Luo Zhenxin was hesitating inside, so he turned his gaze to the kitchen.

At this time, the fish fillet has been marinated, and Erina put it into the deep-fried batter to pass through it again, and then dipped some dry-fried powder.

After all the powder is coated, the girl heats up the pan, pours in oil, puts the fish in and bakes it when it is about seven or eight minutes hot, turns it over when it changes color, and takes it out within half a minute.

Looking at her busy back, Luo Zhen couldn't help thinking, it would be great if there was an air fryer in the store.

That new type of cooking machine can fry a lot of ingredients at once, which is very fuel-efficient, and as long as the time and mode are set (for example, fish steaks are [fish]), you can do other things. It is very suitable for mass production and can improve The business efficiency of the izakaya.

The only problem is, there is no personality.

Just thinking about these things, Yukinoshita gave him a push: "It just so happens that we haven't slept together this summer, and the seaside is quite nice."

"But, I have to ask Eri." Luo Zhen replied, "If she disagrees..."

"Isn't the beach in Kamakura a public domain?"

"..."

"That's it!"

A smile flickered across the corner of Yukinoshita's mouth.
