They Gather Here

Not long after, Kato Megumi suddenly remembered something and clapped his hands: "By the way, Mom made an extra bento, do you want to try it?"

That was obviously made for me!

Luo Zhen grabbed the ground with his head and watched helplessly as the other three girls surrounded him.

Not long after, Ying Lili's excited voice came: "The staple food is pasta with shrimp and enoki mushroom, which contains mushrooms and protein, which is nutritious and delicious."

Obviously, this is not to lament the deliciousness, but to describe it in words.

Naturally, Luo Zhen was seduced.

I want to eat!

He made a weak voice: "That..."

Yukinoshita added from the side: "The side dishes are diced chicken breast fried with cherry radish and celery, and shredded chicken breast with Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, which makes eating chicken breast not so boring every time, and is very creative."

Luo Zhen continued: "Can I..."

Kato Megumi chimed in: "I chose the fruit. I used the very rare lotus mist (I always thought it was called "water pomegranate", but I found out the scientific name after I checked it). The nuts are pistachios, which are soft and hard."

Ruined!

In their hearts, has their own existence been completely erased?

Luo Zhen fell down, his forehead collided with the table, and there was a muffled sound of "Boom!"

At this moment, he suddenly felt warm in his palm, and a small hand stretched out from under the table and scratched it gently.

He was already on the table, so he only had to move his hips back a little to see it.

It was Chitanda.

The palm of her right hand was spread out, and on it was a prunes and a few pistachios.

St. Eru...

Luo Zhen was so moved that he almost cried on the spot.

He took the snacks with great gratitude, and quietly put them into his mouth to chew.

The prunes are sweet and sour, while the pistachios are crunchy. It is very interesting to eat them together.

Luo Zhen raised his head and looked at Chitanda, only to find that the latter was smiling at him.

"Senior Luo, come on!" the girl mouthed.

At the same time, he made an expression——

ヾ(?°?°?)??

Luo Zhen nodded, regained his confidence and regrouped.

He pricked up his ears and continued to listen to the three girls' chats, ready to find an opportunity to intervene.

At this time, several girls were still discussing the issue of bento.

While eating the dishes, Yukinoshita asked in a rational and calm voice: "Speaking of which, what are the consumption and appreciation deadlines for handmade bento?"

Appreciation period: generally refers to the period of time for the best taste of food taste.

Expiry date: It is marked on foods that cannot be stored for a long time, such as bento, etc., indicating the expiry date on fresh food.

On this point, professional chef Luo really has the right to speak.

He cleared his throat and said in a serious and low voice: "Handmade bento without any treatment or sterilization will cause bacteria to increase in value after 2 to 3 hours, and explode after 8 hours. In other words, it will deteriorate."

Almost subconsciously, the girls looked over.

But soon, Yukinoshita, Eriri, and Kato Megumi realized that they were in a cold war with a certain Luo surnamed Huaxin Daluo, their faces turned red, and they looked away.

Chitanda looked left and right, and thought, what awkward seniors.

She rolled her eyes and continued the conversation along the topic just now: "If it goes bad, isn't it very troublesome?"

nice girl!

Luo Zhen praised in his heart.

In fact, there is a word in Neon called "早弁 (biàn, in Japanese, the '件' of bento is written as '弁')".

As the name suggests, it is to eat bento in advance.

It mostly occurs around the third class in the morning. Conscientious people will eat after class, and those who are fat will pile textbooks on the table to start class.

Therefore, most people's bento will be wiped out in the morning, so naturally there is no need to consider the issue of freshness.

But Chitanda threw such a good opportunity for a chat, so there was no reason not to take it.

Luo Zhen immediately cheered up and replied: "There are actually many ways to keep fresh, such as perilla leaves, which are cleaned with fruit and vegetable detergent, and then used as partitions between food and food."

"Well, that's what Kato-senpai's mother did!" Chitanda said.

"Also, salt and acid can inhibit bacteria, which is why bento is generally salty, and prunes are used. In addition, there are also ways to add ginger or sprinkle some curry powder, and the effect is the same."

"Senior Luo is very powerful and knows a lot."

We had a great time chatting.

The three girls were scratching in their hearts. Although their faces were still turned to the other side, their eyes kept looking this way.

When they saw Chitanda and Luo Zhen chatting with a smile, they also wanted to join in.

at this time……

"When the neon housewives make bento, their hands do not touch the ingredients and bento at all, and they wear plastic gloves." Luo Zhen became more and more excited as he talked, "There are also experts who use very long chopsticks, such as when I was young. , to make for Eri..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The home economics classroom suddenly fell silent.

Three stern gazes stared at Luo Zhen, as if saying, "You made bento for Erina!?", while Chitanda sighed, as if lamenting that "rotten wood can't be carved, and children can't be taught".

Such as complaints, complaints, weeping and admiration.

This is too bad!

Luo Zhen couldn't help shivering, shut his mouth obediently, and continued to lie on the table, acting like an ostrich.

Chapter 2 Team lubricant and ecstasy meal

Student Luo is a super idiot!

Although the progress bar of each girl is different, they all (self) think that they are far ahead, but now Erina suddenly pops up halfway, and no one can stand it.

According to the Chinese history books, it is "Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of victory of the Revolution of [-]".

Mr. Zhongshan... Cough cough... Yukinoshita put his shoulder bag on his back, and said to his friends excluding Luo Zhen: "Let's go."

The other two immediately nodded and followed.

Chitanda sighed and shrugged at Luo Zhen, because her movements were too westernized to suit this traditional school girl, so she seemed a little awkward.

Obviously, Curious Babies can't do anything about it.

However, she did not give up. Instead, she changed her mind and made another plan——

"Senior Luo, I'm hungry."

This is the only way.

The girl winked at Luo Zhenlian.

At this moment, Yukinoshita said, "Go to the family restaurant. If you are tired from studying, you can eat to replenish your energy."

Chitanda shook her head: "But, it's not as delicious as Senior Luo's cooking~"

This alone cannot be refuted.

Yukinoshita hesitated.

Unexpectedly, Kato Megumi took direct action, sat back to the original position, opened the schoolbag, and took out the notebook from it to read carefully.

In this way, a traitor appeared in the Punishment Alliance.

Chitanda was overjoyed, and immediately looked at Senior Luo, blinking subtly.

Luo Zhen understood, walked to the refrigerator, and thought about the recipe.

Looking at his profile, Yukinoshita felt a little soft-hearted, looked at each other with Ying Lili, nodded, and sat back to the original seat.

They, as well as Kato Megumi, all set their eyes on Luo Zhen and refused to look away.

At this moment, Luo Zhen chose the main ingredients——

pork belly.

This time I chose marinated sandwich meat, that is, plum head meat with more leanness and less fat. It refers to the part obtained after bone removal of the shoulder blade.

Originally, this piece of meat was marinated and used to make Benbang braised pork, but it definitely won't work now.

Luo Zhen took a head of garlic, peeled it, added it whole to the pork belly, then added green onion, ginger, and half an onion chopped, and continued to marinate. After 10 minutes, pour out the marinade, put it on tin foil, and brush a little A mixture of honey and thick soy sauce.

If it is beef, honey is the secret to using enzymes to make the meat tender, but pork is different, it needs the taste of honey.

Therefore, this dish is Cantonese-style barbecued pork.

Cantonese-style barbecued pork, a very common and very special kind of barbecue in Cantonese cuisine, is marinated with light soy sauce, fermented bean curd, sugar, spiced spices, minced garlic, oyster sauce, etc., and then grilled.

The prepared char siew sauce has a high sugar content, and a layer of honey or maltose "honey gravy" is brushed on the surface when roasting, so that the taste is sweet and not greasy.

In Cantonese cuisine, sweetness is a healing taste.

As the saying goes, "Guangdong bacon is sweet, Hunan bacon smokes", the meaning is obvious——

The bacon in Guangdong is as fresh and sweet as sausages, while the bacon in Xiangxi is rich in smokiness.

In other words, as long as it is well matched, the latter just neutralizes the sweetness of the former, and is more suitable for northerners with a salty taste. Of course, the "northern" here refers to the north of Guangdong.

Therefore, instead of using maltose with greater sweetness, Luo Zhen chose honey.
