They Gather Here

Since it is heated and not baked, even the effort of preheating is saved.

Then, she found a bowl, spread a layer of plastic wrap, brushed a little light salt water on the plastic wrap, filled the plastic wrap with rice, dug a hole in the middle, filled it with fillings, and wrapped the rice balls.

In the last step, put a piece of seaweed under the wrapped rice ball, and garnish with a little chopped green onion and chopped kelp.

Garlic Pork Stuffed Rice Balls, you're done.

Chitanda put the food on the table: "Senior, let's try it~"

Luo Zhen nodded, ran to brush his teeth and wash his face, then came back, picked up a rice ball to taste.

The girl handles the stuffing according to the sauce and honey braised pork——

First fry the ginger slices and fry the meat. After the meat changes color, pour hot water over the meat, then add honey, white miso, and rice wine, and simmer over low heat.

Because of the slightly salty taste of the outermost layer of kelp, the rice highlights the sweetness and umami of the stuffing miso.

"Delicious!" Luo Zhen praised.

"Senior, as long as you like it." Chitanda happily ate with her hands.

"(￣～￣) Chewing..."

"(￣～￣) Chewing..."

The two ate quietly without mentioning what happened last night.

In fact, what was supposed to happen last night, but at the critical moment, Chitanda backed away muttering "I can't be so cunning", making people really confused.

Luo Zhen can vaguely guess what the so-called "cunning" is, but he is not sure.

Fortunately, the food was delicious enough to keep my mouth shut.

The diced pork belly with honey is soft and smooth, and the fiber is loose, so it tastes better. Although it has only been marinated for an hour, it is full of flavor, and the juice will burst when eaten hot.

It is estimated that it is very elastic to eat when it is cold?

Luo Zhen said it was not good.

As for the fresh minced garlic, it has a spicy taste, but it goes well with miso and pork unexpectedly, adding a little excitement to the rustic miso sauce.

Just when Luo Zhen stretched out his hand to get the second one, Yui Aragaki's voice came: "You have a new email (＾U＾)ノ~YO~"

"Senior, message." Chitanda reminded.

She handed over the mobile phone on the spring bed, and glanced at the caller: "It's Nakiri."

Terry?

Luo Zhen unlocked the phone screen.

----------

Eri:

Xiaozhen, Xiaozhen, the Yueyue Festival starts today. I haven't opened a shop, so I can eat with you!

o(*￣︶￣*)o

----------

Tsukiyō Festival, the official name of the Totsuki Saryo Culinary Academy Festival, is a gigantic gourmet carnival and is the finale event at the end of autumn.

That being said, it's almost time.

If Luo Zhen remembered correctly, the festival will be held for five days, and tourists from all over the world will flock to it. It is said that there will be more than 50 visitors during the period.

The VIP guests who come from home and abroad will be warmly entertained by the accommodation facilities in the academy and Yuanyue Resort, and the accommodation fees alone can bring Yuanyue a large surplus.

Totsuki students can freely open stores as long as they obtain permission, and they can participate in groups or individuals. During the festival, Totsuki Academy will become a country of gourmet food.

Of course, opening a store at the Yueyue Festival will result in expulsion from school at a loss. If you don't want to face this ending, you can only eat (pretend) halberd (force).

Luo Zhen looked at Chitanda and asked, "Eru, Totsuki is holding a school festival, shall we go and see?"

The girl hesitated for a while, and finally shook her head: "I won't go."

"Hey?"

"Nakiri-san probably doesn't want to... um... I can't tell."

The girl lowered her head and finished the rice ball in two or three strokes.

She found a lunch box, put the remaining rice balls in it, and wrapped it in a small cloth bag: "Senior, I went to the Yueyue Festival once, and there are three types of coupons for flowers, pine, bamboo, and plum, which are very expensive. No need, let’s have a meal~”

Tool people are starting to be diligent and thrifty now.

Luo Zhen scratched his head: "I'm with Eri, she won't..."

"Then you don't bring it?"

"Take, take, don't be unhappy."

"..."

"..."

Going to look for Erina but still trying to make Chitanda happy, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Luo Zhen was just about to say something, but he didn't expect the other party to throw himself into his arms and kiss him long.

She said, "I'm taking an oath of sovereignty~"

Luo Zhen made a confused face: "???"

"Senior can go."

"Hurry... chase people?"

"Yes."

My girlfriend is terrible.

Luo Zhen scratched his head, stuffed the two rice balls in front of him into his mouth whole, then took his bento and rushed out the door, and took another bus to Yuanyue.

The academy is completely different from when I visited some time ago——

The sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the fluttering of red flags, and the crowds of people...

Like the High School Affiliated to the Faculty of Engineering of Donggong University, the Moon Festival also divides the school into three areas:

The most popular main avenue area, the avenue extending all the way from the main entrance, is lined up with temporary tents, which is the most crowded and lively area during the entire event period;

The central area of ​​the cooking building for teaching is concentrated. In the temporary tent, highly specialized cooking that is difficult to provide or types that require special equipment will be concentrated here;

In the Linshan area, where the average customer spend is the highest, there are sparsely hidden buildings scattered all over the place, and they are used as restaurants. If the chef is not well-known, it is difficult to attract customers. Top Ten Most of the members will choose to launch dishes in this area.

Luo Zhen speculated that the tongue of God must be the first to patronize Linshan District.

He entered through the main entrance, but was stopped by two security personnel: "You need to exchange points to enter the venue. In addition, you cannot bring your own food."

Indeed, bringing rice balls inside would be considered a provocation.

Luo Zhen scratched his head: "When I came last time, I was a judge for the autumn selection, so I should have some privileges, right?"

"We were temporarily transferred from Yuanyue Resort, so I don't know."

"Does that mean it can't be done?"

"Excuse me."

Since it is someone else's rule, it has no choice but to abide by it.

Although eating all the rice balls would make it impossible to eat other dishes, Luo Zhen didn't intend to waste Eru's efforts, so he opened the cloth bag and took out the rice balls inside.

Just when he was about to chew, a voice sounded behind him: "Luo Zhen?"

It's Nakiri Alice.

Luo Zhen turned around with a look of surprise: "You didn't open a shop?"

Alice's face darkened: "Liu and I missed the application time for the berth."

"You're still the same..."

"However, we have obtained Professor Shiomi's permission to join the camp of Shiomi's research team and form a three-member team with Hayama."

Luo Zhen heard that at the end of the autumn selection, what Ye Shanliang was defeated was the environment × purchase and transfer sauce?/p>

But the focus is not on the final, but on the semi-final. Is the coal offered to the sacral and astatine forgiveness?/p>

Luo Zhen could not help but sigh.

"Rozen!" Alice looked dissatisfied, "What kind of expression do you have?"

"Nothing." Luo Zhen shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, anyway, you are here to find Erina, she should be near the central area now, and our store is also there, I will take you there."

"Thank you."

Alice waved her hand grandly, and led Luo Zhen forward until they came to their shop.

Looking at the various high-tech equipment under the tent, Luo Zhen couldn't help but shook his head: "The cost of doing this is too high for you, and you will probably be in the red. Two finalists and one top eight contestant in the autumn selection will collectively lose money, tsk tsk tsk..."

The veins on Alice's forehead popped.

At the same time, Erina's voice came: "Look, Xiao Zhen also said the same."

Chapter 7 Nakiri Erina

Erina was dressed like a princess, wearing a small dark gray suit with striped wool, which had an obvious heavy texture. Inside was Yuan Yue's autumn school uniform, and the knee socks looked very sexy.

Seeing her, Alice immediately pouted dissatisfiedly: "Are you making sarcastic remarks?"

Erina chuckled: "Didn't Xiaozhen just say that, the cost of your cooking is too high, you should drive to Linshan District."

"Did I miss the application deadline~"

"Then there's no way."

The girl showed a smiling expression, looking a little bad.
