They Gather Here

The next step is to pour in water, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat, so that the taste of the marinade slowly penetrates into the texture of the raw materials, turning it into a fragrant and delicious marinated product.

but……

"It's been a while." Kato Megumi sighed.

Luo Zhen shrugged: "This is also impossible. Who told you to order a couple's lung film?"

"Speaking of which, the name of this dish is very strange. Is it really related to husband and wife?" Kato Megumi asked.

"Yes." Luo Zhen nodded, "If I remember correctly, this dish should have been created by a couple, and I can tell you its history..."

Just then, Yukinoshita suddenly interrupted him.

"Continue talking, I'll go look at the pot." After that, she turned and turned into the back kitchen.

Chapter 7 Take it for granted and Husband and wife lung slices

In the 20s, Chengdu native Guo Chaohua and his wife made and sold cold-salted lung slices. Because the leftovers of beef were used as ingredients, the price was cheap and the taste was good.

"It's really a mom-and-pop shop," Kato Megumi said.

"Yes, but they found that the beef lungs tasted bad, so they canceled that ingredient." Luo Zhen nodded.

"Is there a 'husband and wife lung slice' without lung slices?" Kato Megumi was amazed, "It always feels very romantic."

What's so romantic about this?

Luo Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, but did not take over.

Kato Megumi tilted her head and stared at the silhouette of Yukinoshita in the back kitchen, and fell into contemplation.

After ten seconds, she suddenly clapped her hands: "Luo Jun, I think it would be better to make a little menu."

I was thinking about this.

"Why?" Luo Zhen asked.

"Izakaya without a menu will be prohibitive." Kato Megumi said seriously, "Just like me, I would think this izakaya is quite suspicious until I know how good you are."

There must be some truth to this.

Luo Zhen rubbed his chin and was about to respond when Yukinoshita interjected: "You don't know how powerful he is now, but don't wait too long."

Luo Zhen turned his head and saw that all kinds of meat had been fished out and were drying in a large colander.

That is, there is one last step left.

Luo Zhen stood back in front of the stove, took a spoonful of the original brine into a bowl, added chili oil, pepper powder, and soy sauce to reconcile it. Then, he cut the beef and beef offal even more thinly, and then mixed them together and drizzled with flavor. Mix the juice well, put it on a plate, sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

You're done!

"Go and serve." Luo Zhen instructed Yukinoshita.

"..." Yukinoshita was dissatisfied and did not speak.

"Kato is your friend, and he's here to congratulate you. Of course, I want you to serve the food." Luo Zhen explained.

"Okay." Yukinoshita brought the plate to Megumi Kato and helped her with a bowl of rice.

On the plate was a dark red chili oil that looked quite dangerous.

However, Kato Megumi moved her index finger a lot. She put her palms together and said, "I'm starting." Because the mouth was full of excitement, she was a little unclear.

Sichuan cuisine is like this, numb, spicy, fresh and fragrant. Those who love it will love it to the core.

Kato Megumi took a deep breath, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

In an instant, the spicy aroma filled his mouth.

The taste of beef is crispy, because the slices are so thin that it even melts in the mouth, so as long as you chew a few mouthfuls, the meat seems to become liquid, and it can easily enter the throat.

"Um..." Chewed.

"Gu..." swallowed.

"Ding dong..." The chopsticks touched the bottom of the bowl.

"Please give me another bowl of rice!" Kato Megumi held up the empty bowl, "Luo Jun 'can cook anything', certified!"

"Why do you call him 'Luo Jun'?" Yukinoshita asked while serving the meal.

Kato Megumi swept away his rice bowls and dishes, and then replied, "It's very rigid to call the classmates when he's not at school, and he's still the owner of the shop~"

This tone...

Luo Zhen and Xuezhi looked at each other.

"Kato-san, what's wrong with you?" Yukinoshita asked.

"It's fine, I'm fine, Koyuki." Kato Megumi shook her head, "Hehehehe..."

Well, not just the tone, but the laughter!

Totally different!

"What did you give her?" Yukinoshita pulled Luo Zhen and asked in a low voice.

"It's just this dish." Luo Zhen frowned, "You know the main ingredients. The spices are star anise, sannai, large, cumin, grass fruit, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and what she sent..."

Raw wine! ?

No, that's clearly not true!

Luo Zhen turned his head and saw that only the mouth of the one-liter bottle was empty, at most 30ml.

Yukinoshita also followed his gaze, and immediately opened his mouth: "Did you add raw wine?"

"It's just a little bit, it doesn't make sense!" Luo Zhen refused to admit it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kato Megumi spoke again: "Luo Jun, you are really bad-hearted, you put a lot of chili oil, yes, no, yes, think, spicy, die, me, ah~"

Saying that, she propped up the bar with both hands and entangled her with a smile.

Luo Zhen took a step back in fright.

On the contrary, Yukinoshita bravely stood in front of him and was hugged by Megumi Kato.

Nice job!

Stop this drunk!

The drunkard Megumi Kato didn't care about the wrong object. She pulled Yukinoshita's sleeves and shook it gently, and climbed up the pole: "Xiaoxue, you are also a bad person, you obviously like it..."

"It's time for you to go home." Yukinoshita said, "I'll take you off."

"Can't go home, I have to pick up Kuankuan."

Forgot about this...

Yukinoshita was very disgusted with unnecessary social interaction, not to mention that the destination was the mansion of "friends of friends".

But after a painful struggle, she said again: "I will send you."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi seemed a little sober.

"How can I make you look like this..."

"No need."

"..."

"No, use it, oh~" Kato Megumi remained slightly drunk, she waved her hand in a daze, and refused, "It's okay, my friend lives in the port area."

There are many embassies in the port area. For security reasons, there is very little residential land nearby, which can be described as an inch of land.

Therefore, Luo Zhen must not be able to rent a house, so he can only settle in the store.

He asked in surprise, "Your friend lives in the port area?"

"Is there a problem?" Kato Megumi was puzzled at first, and then showed an expression of sudden realization, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, her father is a British diplomat, isn't it natural to live in the port area?"

That's "of course".

Luo Zhen couldn't help feeling emotional.

At the same time, Kato Megumi gave up his entanglement with Yukinoshita and said, "Luo Jun, let's get another couple's lung film~"

"Aren't you full yet?" Luo Zhen was slightly surprised.

"No~" Kato Megumi chuckled, "Didn't I go to see my friends? She took care of Kuankuan for me, of course I want to bring her some small gifts~"

Give yourself a gift but let someone else prepare it?

This girl must be a big man in the future!

Luo Zhen smiled bitterly and returned to the stove to slice the beef and offal. Just as he was doing it, his eyes were suddenly attracted to the bottle of raw wine.

Shouldn't this be...

"That's right~" Kato Megumi's voice came, "It's a gift from someone else, and that friend has a lot of background, the daughter of a rich farmer!"

Give me back my inspiration!

fall!

Luo Zhen almost threw the pot out, and Yukinoshita was shaking with anger.

She said, "Go! You go!!"

However, such rude treatment did not affect Megumi Kato. She smiled like a saint at Yukinoshita and said, "Xiaoxue, be good~"

The light is so dazzling!

Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, adhering to the principle of "friends you make, you should take care of them when you cry", she turned around and said, "Classmate Luo, get her another couple's lung slice and pack it."

Luo Zhen nodded, considering that the guests this time were of British ancestry, he scooped off a lot of the chili oil floating on the surface with a spoon, and then poured the juice, put it on a plate, and covered it with plastic wrap.

Kato Megumi took it with a smile: "I will send the tableware back as soon as possible."

After speaking, she put on the shoulder bag and carefully cleaned the edge of the plate. After making sure that the plastic wrap was not leaking, she picked up the plate and walked carefully towards the sliding door.

Seeing her orderly movements, Luo Zhen couldn't help smacking his lips.
