They Gather Here

"The most hateful thing is that on Saturday, I wanted to eat the leftover Black Forest cake so much, but my mother ate it secretly, which caused me to have no energy for the whole weekend."

Resentment came.

Luo Zhen and Chitanda looked at each other, not knowing what to answer.

On the contrary, Ying Riri said that she was tired first, and gasped violently: "Hu~hu~hu~"

The home economics classroom became quieter.

Luo Zhen once thought that the word "silence" should not have a comparative degree, but now he realizes that he is wrong.

a long time……

Luo Zhen: "Sawamura?"

Chitanda: "Senior?"

"I'm sorry." Ying Lili blushed and buried her head in the Campus book, "I said a lot of stupid things just now, please forget about it."

How could it be forgotten! ?

Luo Zhen really wanted to listen to the part about "being ridiculed by people in the art department", and looked at Chitanda subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Chitanda looked at Eiri with a worried look on her face, without showing any untimely curiosity.

Clearly, the girl knew the occasion.

She sat next to Ying Lili and asked gently, "Senior, do you feel much better after venting?"

"Yeah." Yin Lili was still covering her face, so her voice was muffled.

"If there is anything else that is unsatisfactory, you can continue to say it. Senior Luo and I will listen carefully."

"Hmm." ×2.

"If you don't mind, we're also open to comments."

"Hmm." ×3.

no progress.

Chitanda sighed silently.

She turned her head, looked at Luo Zhen, and blinked at a frequency of "long-short-long", meaning "SOS".

This girl is surprisingly gentle.

Unlike the other three girls in the club, Chitanda is not the type to hide and tuck, but it is precisely because of this characteristic that she is a bit difficult to deal with.

From the bottom of my heart, Luo Zhen felt that comfort might be counterproductive, so it would be better to give Ying Lili some space to be alone.

What's more, he only has one way to comfort girls, and that is to cook.

Speaking of cooking...

"Eriri, did you just mention the Black Forest cake?" he asked.

"Don't mention that, I'll be hungry when I mention that." Yingli answered in a stern voice.

"Hungry? That's a good solution."

"Hey?"

Eiri raised her head in surprise.

I saw Luo Zhen took out the apron from the cupboard and stood in front of the refrigerator.

"You want to cook?" Inri asked.

"That's right." Luo Zhen nodded, "but I can't guarantee it's particularly delicious."

This is a truth.

After all, schools are not like one or two, only the more common and easy-to-store ingredients, such as eggs, milk, some vegetables, instant rice, and meat, all exist in canned form.

what to do?

Luo Zhen glanced at all kinds of canned food, and then he saw an unexpected ingredient - yellowtail.

Isn't this thing expensive?

Canning yellowtail is actually quite wasteful.

You know, the Neon people are particularly fond of yellowtail. In the process of growing from a juvenile to an adult fish, the Neon people will give it a name every time it grows up.

Such as:

Small hairy fish, minotaur, fast growing, iron head...

Don't look at these names are funny, but it is only a juvenile fish. When the yellowtail grows to more than 10kg, its name will become a rather meaningful "born fish".

In Japanese, "born" is similar to "getting ahead", "prosperity", and "gaining an official rank", which may also be one of the reasons why people like amberjack.

Luo Zhen took out the can and glanced at the packaging.

Place of Origin: Kagawa

"Chitanda, is Kagawa Prefecture in Kyushu (island)?" he asked.

"No." Chitanda replied, "If I remember correctly, Kagawa Prefecture should be located in the northeastern part of Shikoku (island) and is the smallest county in Shikoku (island)."

"Is that so..."

"Senior, is there any problem?"

"I just want to judge based on the geographical location whether the yellowtail in Kagawa Prefecture is artificially farmed."

"The possibility of farming fish is very high."

Despite saying the word "possibility", Chitanda's tone was very positive.

Luo Zhen decided to trust the judgment made by the rich peasant's daughter.

He opened the can, and a faint fishy smell penetrated into his nostrils.

Because the fish is marinated, it tastes salty, and it is necessary to pay attention to the seasoning when cooking the second time.

However, fully marinated fish also has an advantage, that is, the meat is very firm, and during the stewing process, there is no need to worry about being boiled and boiled.

Luo Zhen pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "The recipe has been decided, white radish and yellowtail."

"Do you make it from canned food?" Iniri asked. "It will be very salty."

"Just eat it honestly."

"Yes, yes, I don't know how to cook, so I quit."

Eiri then buried her head back in the book.

However, the small eyes that sneaked over from time to time revealed her expectation.

Luo Zhen smiled slightly and refocused his attention back to the recipe.

Yellowtail with white radish is a "cooked thing", that is, a stew. Therefore, it should take a long time to cook. Fortunately, the main raw material of yellowtail comes from canned food, which can save a lot of time.

Luo Zhen found the white radish from the refrigerator, peeled off the plastic wrap, cut it into pieces, put it into a pressure cooker to cook, then added water and turned on the fire.

Then, he looked at Chitanda and gave an instruction: "Chitanda, help me look at the pot, and call me about 7 minutes after SAIC."

"Yes!" Qiantan agreed, and tilted his head in confusion, "Senior, what is 'SAIC'?"

"Have you never used a pressure cooker?"

"No."

Is Chitanda a primitive?

Luo Zhen complained in his heart, and then said: "'SAIC' is... um... Anyway, after the pot 'eats', wait for 7 minutes and then call me."

"Understood." Chitanda saluted.

Is it really okay?

Although he was a little worried, Luo Zhen had no other helper and could only use this girl as a tool temporarily.

He drenched the fish with water to dilute the salty taste, and then made a sauce with sugar, mirin, and soy sauce. In order to neutralize the salty taste of the canned food, he deliberately added more sugar and less soy sauce.

at this time……

"It's amazing! The pot is screaming 'woo woo woo'!" Chitanda called out, "Ah, yes! Senior, it's SAIC!"

"..." Luo Zhen couldn't say a word for a long time.

"senior?"

"Don't talk, wait 7 minutes."

Chitanda was a little shocked, but she kept her mouth shut, and studied the pressure cooker with a curious expression on her face.

Unexpectedly, 7 minutes turned out to be unexpectedly long. .

Of course Luo Zhen, who was on full fire, would not be idle. He steamed instant rice in the microwave and made fried assorted vegetables with vegetables.

at last……

"Enough time." Chitanda's voice came.

"Come on." Luo Zhen stood in front of the pressure cooker and turned off the heat.

He fished out the boiled white radish, put the sauce and ingredients into a snow pan, added water to the extent that the ingredients were just submerged, and brought to a boil over high heat.

Next, just simmer and wait for the juices to collect.

but……

"Why didn't Luo Gai?" Luo Zhen looked around in surprise.

The so-called "drop cover" refers to the "falling pot cover".

The use of this kind of pot lid is different from that of ordinary pot lids. It can "drop" into the pot, so the size of the pot lid is much smaller than that of ordinary pot lids.

In Japanese food, in order to ensure the taste and flavor, the boiled food (that is, stewed vegetables) requires less soup. Therefore, in order to suppress the evaporation of water vapor and ensure that the food is heated evenly, the Neon people invented the falling cover.

Luo Zhen rummaged in the cupboard for a long time, but couldn't find it, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

at this time……

"Senior Luo, leave it to me!" Chitanda said.
