They Gather Here

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing two bright and jade-like forearms, then reached out to the soup, felt the temperature, and muttered, "It should be fine."

"What's the problem?" Luo Zhen was puzzled.

Chitanda did not answer, but took immediate action.

She imitated the working mode of drop cover and carefully covered the ingredients with a layer of tin foil.

During the whole process, she acted unhurriedly, obviously not wearing an apron, but perfectly kept the uniform neat and tidy.

Luo Zhen couldn't help being a little surprised.

He has now gotten used to the neon life, and he has all kinds of Japanese-style utensils at his fingertips, but like Chitanda, he learned and used it, and it took about half a minute to think of using tinfoil instead of the cover.

Could it be that this girl knows local cuisine very well?

Glossary:

Mirin: Mirin (みりん), commonly known as mirin, is a seasoning similar to rice wine. It is rich in sweetness and wine taste, and can effectively remove the fishy smell of food.

Snow pan: Snow pan is not a brand, but a name for a type of pot. The shape of the snow pan is concave and convex, with diversion openings on both sides, similar to the size of a milk pan.

At one point I suspected that the name of the pot was used for Kuroyukihime, but, considering that the snow pan was invented in the Heian period (i.e. more than 1000 years ago), I gave up that suspicion.

Chapter 4 Deadlines and Nutritious Meals

There was a faint scent in the classroom.

Luo Zhen lifted a corner of the tin foil, and the sound of "gulugulu" spread immediately, and the soup was bubbling continuously, stimulating people's appetite from the three aspects of hearing, sight, and smell.

Not only Chitanda and Eiri, but even he himself swallowed.

Almost ready to cook.

Luo Zhen dipped some soup with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then frowned slightly.

"Senior, is there any problem?" Chitanda asked.

"Try it." With that said, Luo Zhen handed the chopsticks to Chitanda.

"..."

"how?"

"You have used these chopsticks before." It was Ying Lili who spoke, "I know you are lecherous, but you are not allowed to shoot at cute juniors."

"I just got it right." Luo Zhen assured that he had absolutely no intention of that.

"It turned out to be 'smoothly', it's really a golden excuse..."

Done!

Jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it!

On the contrary, Chitanda, the party involved, was the first to react from this situation.

She took a pair of chopsticks again, imitated Luo Zhen's movements, and tasted the soup.

"There's still a lingering smell," she said.

Sure enough, this girl's five senses are very sensitive.

Because of the addition of mirin, the fishy smell is already very light, and you can taste it with chopsticks dipped in a little soup. Generally, only a particularly powerful chef can do it.

Luo Zhen praised Chitanda in his heart, and then fell into deep thought.

The fish is about to come out of the pot. If you add cooking wine, vinegar, and ginger to season it, it may be counterproductive. You have to find another way.

"Senior, how about the lemon?" Chitanda suggested, "Squeeze a little while eating."

"This is the way of traditional western food. I didn't expect you to know this." Luo Zhen smiled, "I thought you would say ginger."

Chitanda blushed despite knowing that the senpai was joking.

at the same time……

"stare--"

Ying Lili cast a strange look and said, "It's nice to be able to communicate in cooking."

Be careful I tie your ponytail to a dead end!

Luo Zhen cast a threatening glance, forcing Ying Lili to withdraw her gaze, then clasped her arms and thought again.

In all fairness, Chitanda's proposal about lemons was a good one.

If you really want to talk about the principle, it is actually very simple:

The fishy smell of fish is mainly composed of amines, which are weakly alkaline. The process of mixing with lemon juice is, to put it bluntly, acid-base neutralization.

But the school only has refrigerated lemons, which cannot squeeze much juice, so it is not advisable.

However, acid-base neutralization is a good idea.

Luo Zhen had a flash of inspiration, and muttered to himself, "Purple radish with orange vinegar."

"Senior, that's a dipping sauce for meat or seafood," Chitanda reminded.

"If you put more radish puree and less orange vinegar, can it be turned into a side dish?"

"It's still possible..."

Chitanda showed an expression of admiration.

Obviously, this girl has a lot of cooking knowledge about traditional Japanese ingredients, but she is not very flexible.

Luo Zhen decided to demonstrate it in person.

He cut a small piece of white radish, ground it into puree, and poured in orange vinegar. The ratio of pureed radish to orange vinegar was about 7:1.

Chitanda acted synchronously. She lifted the foil on the white radish and yellowtail, placed it on a plate, and then spread the fried assorted vegetables on top of the rice to form a fried assorted rice bowl.

Yellowtail with daikon radish + fried rice bowl + orange vinegar mashed radish!

Nutritious meal set meal is complete!

Ying Li Li immediately put her palms together: "I'll start..."

"Wait!" Luo Zhen stopped her, "I'll tell you how to eat first."

Ying Lili nodded.

"First of all, put a little mashed radish on the fish." Luo Zhen said, while operating, "then, you can eat it directly, or with rice bowls, like this... ah, a big mouthful, (chew and chew)... "

Really delicious!

Luo Zhen himself was a little surprised, but he didn't expect canned food to make this kind of food.

Perhaps, one or two can launch new dishes.

Thinking like this, he stretched his chopsticks to the citrus vinegar mashed radish again, ready to continue to taste it, and judge whether there is any room for improvement.

however……

"stare--"

Eri Riri's gaze was extremely haunting.

Luo Zhen was a little embarrassed by her, and quickly put down his chopsticks: "Please."

Yingri couldn't wait to put her palms together for the second time: "I'm starting!"

After she finished speaking, she followed suit, imitating Luo Zhen's actions just now, mixing various materials into her mouth.

Even if it is canned, yellowtail is still yellowtail, with firm flesh and plump fat. After chewing in the mouth, the flesh of the fish disperses, and the sweet taste fills the mouth instantly.

What's more, there is orange vinegar mashed radish and vegetable fried assortment.

The taste of orange vinegar is very refreshing. It has both the saltiness and freshness of soy sauce and the sourness of citrus. It fits perfectly with fish.

The fried assortment is crunchy, and when chewing in the mouth, it makes a "crunching" sound, which is also a kind of auditory stimulation.

The only downside is the instant rice cooked in the microwave, which doesn't taste and taste very good.

Even so, the whole set meal is still delicious!

At this time, Ying Lili had no time to think any more, and only knew how to bury her head and eat hard.

Seeing diners like their dishes is a chef's greatest honor.

Luo was truly satisfied.

He stretched out, beckoned to Chitanda, motioned for his junior to come beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any white radish and yellowtail?"

"There's still one bowl, but the fried assortment and rice are gone." Chitanda replied.

"Don't make a sound, wait for Ying Lili to finish eating, and then we will quietly..."

The voice didn't fall...

"Is there any fish?" Ying Lili's voice came.

Luo really wanted to hit the wall.

He raised his head and saw Ying Lili was smiling happily, and the bowl in front of him was empty.

In many food comics, there are often episodes of eating delicious food and then crying, but so far, Luo Zhen has never seen such a person in reality.
