They Gather Here

Minano let out a soft "hum," feeling that Chinese cuisine is too difficult.

So, what is the highest level of Luo Zhen's ability to cook such difficult dishes well?

She can't imagine.

Luo Zhen didn't know what the other party was thinking, and he had already begun to answer the third question: "If a dish of Longjing shrimp is not enough to eat, there is actually a corresponding staple food. That staple food is based on the Hangzhou snack cat's ear, and incorporates Longjing. The elements of the tea, the flour and vegetables are made into the shape of Longjing tea, and it is brewed with chicken soup, which is extremely delicious.”

Just listening to it makes my mouth water!

Minano asked, "What's the name of this dish?"

"Longjing asks for tea."

"I've never heard of it..."

Of course it is impossible to hear of it.

Longjing Wencha is a dish created by top Chinese chefs at the G20 state banquet, but the G20 in this life was not held in Hangzhou.

Luo Zhen scratched his head, thinking that he also wanted to eat breakfast, and the cat ears were quite suitable, so he asked, "Can you wait?"

Minano nodded like a puppy: "Of course."

Luo Zhen walked into the back kitchen and found that there were ready-made mung bean noodles, he couldn't help but secretly said good luck.

He took a small piece, flattened it to form a leaf shape with a leaf mold, and then split it in two with a knife, with the pattern facing inward, and glued the two "leaves" together from the bottom of the leaf, twisting it into the shape of a Longjing bud.

Then, by analogy, all of them are made into "tea leaves".

The next step is no different from removing the cat's ears, it's not difficult.

Luo Zhen poured water into the pot and boiled it, put the tea dough into it, cooked it, took it out with a colander, and put it in a tea bowl for later use.

Then, cut the ham into small cubes, soak the scallops and tear them into strips. Fry the two in a small amount of oil, sprinkle some corn kernels and green beans, and fry for a few seconds. "Tea" in the tureen.

Longjing asks for tea, and you're done.

Luo Zhen put it on the table and said: "Although it is very different from the original Longjing Wencha, let's just eat it."

Minano was stunned: "What is the original version?"

"Authentic Longjing Wencha is really like tasting tea. The chicken soup is packed in a teapot, and the 'leaves' are packed in a tea bowl. Add a little bit at a time into the tea bowl, and then pour the soup."

"hiss……"

"Okay, let's try it~"

All are obedient to goodness.

She scooped up a spoonful of "tea leaves" and put them into her mouth, chewing them carefully.

In an instant, a burst of tea fragrance rises in the mouth, capturing the taste buds.

She was stunned: "It's strange, obviously no tea is used, why is there tea fragrance?"

"It's not tea fragrance, it's bean fragrance, the bean fragrance of mung bean." Luo Zhen replied, "The most common and well-known type of fragrance in West Lake Longjing is bean fragrance, some are similar to pea sprouts, and some are similar to orchid beans. "

"They are different from mung beans."

"The five senses of human beings are all inertial."

Minano understands.

It is precisely because the Longjing shrimp I ate yesterday was so unforgettable that I was confused about the aroma.

After all, not everyone has a "God Tongue".

It is no wonder that Luo Zhen said that Longjing Wencha and Longjing Shrimp are complementary dishes. The reason is that the two are different from each other and complement each other.

If eaten together, it will definitely be the most beautiful in the world!

"Thank you for the hospitality, the most rewarding, you just wait for my column." After finishing speaking, Jie Yechen buried his head and began to eat bitterly.

Chapter 19

Edited by Minano:

Student Luo, the text part of the article about the izakaya has been completed, and I hope you can come and help with the shooting.

----------

On Monday morning, Luo Zhen received this email.

Because it is beneficial to the publicity of the club, he agreed, and set off with the other four girls after class.

Beauty and food are equally photogenic, and everyone knows that.

The editorial office is located at the junction of the bustling street and the residential street quite close to Shibuya Station——

On the right is a clothing store, and on the left is a wagashi supermarket.

Go straight through the middle, then turn left at the first intersection, and you will come to a three-story office building that is connected to the residential street and looks messy. "Dancyu" is on the second floor.

To be precise, instead of calling it an "office building", a "mixed-living building" may be much more appropriate.

Yukinoshita sighed: "This is really a 'backcountry'."

Luo Zhen scratched his head: "Is Shibuya considered a 'backcountry'?"

"Aren't the editorial headquarters of fashion magazines usually located in Ginza and Roppongi?"

"Perhaps because fashion magazines occupy such a place, there is no room for food magazines."

"Aren't food magazines fashion magazines?"

"..."

It makes sense, Luo Zhen was speechless.

Kato Megumi took out his mobile phone to check, and suddenly "Puff!" smiled: "It was true that I was in Roppongi at first, but in order to cut expenses, I moved to Shibuya three years ago. Because the upstream company of this building owns it, the rent is also high. Very cheap."

The building of my own company...

Luo Zhen looked at the three-story building. Although it didn't sound very nice, it was really broken.

The concrete walls have turned black, and the sensor of the automatic door at the entrance is a bit insensitive, only piles of old magazines exude a lively atmosphere.

"It's hard to imagine that "Dancyu" was born here." He couldn't help complaining.

"There is an old Chinese saying, 'Sea water cannot be judged by appearance, and people cannot be measured'. I originally thought that a chef who said he could cook any dish would only brag, but I didn't expect that he was a Michelin-level figure." Yukinoshita replied.

"Were you praising me just now?"

"You heard wrong."

"..."

"..."

Eerie silence.

Yukinoshita tossed her hair proudly and walked in through the entrance.

Eiriri nudged Chitanda with her elbow, then pointed at Yukinoshita's back, holding back her laughter desperately.

Chitanda didn't react, she blinked suspiciously, and quickly walked through the door.

The other three followed immediately.

Unexpectedly, there was no reception lady in the building, and a cute shorthair huddled itself into a ball and hibernated in a corner.

Although it is not wearing a collar, it can be judged from its shiny coat color that it is not a stray cat.

Seeing five people, it was not afraid, but instead assumed the appearance of its master and lay there lazily.

Of course, there was no elevator, so they could only walk up to the second floor in sequence.

What caught my eye was a corridor, leading to the editorial headquarters at the end, but on both sides were piled up bundles of magazines and books, almost touching the ceiling.

Luo Zhen took out a copy at random and looked at it, and found that it was the July 1999 issue of "Dancyu".

Although he wanted to read the content inside, he found that the pages of the magazine were glued together, so he could only sigh with emotion, "It is indeed an old antique at the end of the last century", and let it go.

Suddenly, a voice came: "Is it 'Genius Chef' Luo Zhen?"

Luo Zhen turned around and found that it was the photographer.

The five quickly greeted each other respectfully.

The photographer also smiled back, and then introduced: "Go straight ahead and pass the editorial headquarters. The editor's office is in the innermost room. You can find it by looking at the door number."

Luo Zhen nodded, expressing his understanding, and was stunned for a moment as if he suddenly thought of something.

Although it would be very embarrassing for him to ask, he still couldn't help coughing lightly: "That... what do you mean by 'genius chef'?"

"The nickname is like Nakiri Erina's 'God's Tongue' and Nakiri Alice's 'Son of Molecular Gastronomy'."

"Hey?"

"Last Saturday morning, the editor-in-chief went to your store once alone and started calling you that. We even wanted to call you 'Yuanyue's Pearl of the Sea'. After all, there are too many 'geniuses' these days. It’s worthless, but the editor-in-chief said that it’s an insult to you to use Yuan Yue to measure you, so in the end it became a ‘genius chef’ with no characteristics.”

Pearls left in the sea, pearls in the sea, are missed by those who collect them, which is a metaphor for buried talents.

But Luo Zhen voluntarily rejected Yuan Yue, so this statement is inappropriate.

However, the attention of the four girls is not here.

They looked at Luo Zhen and said in unison: "Last Saturday morning, the editor-in-chief - alone - went to an izakaya once?"

Luo Zhen scratched his head: "She has some questions about Longjing shrimp, please ask me."

"Stare—" ×4.

Suspicious ing...

The photographer looked amused, patted Luo Zhen on the shoulder, cast a "good for yourself" look, then turned around swiftly, and slipped away.

Luo Zhen glanced out the window: "The wind is so noisy today."
