The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Amameiya Ren couldn't help admiring and said: "This craftsmanship is really amazing, Shinto?" (Note ①)

"Eh? Yes, the master who made this dish is indeed a master of the divine way. It's amazing! Can you actually eat it?" Baigui Lingmu's eyes widened, and she looked at Yu Gonglian in surprise.

"It's just that I have some understanding of this aspect." Yu Gonglian sighed while being polite. "This is too bad, I feel like I was playing with an ax at the door of the class just now."

I am clear about my own affairs, Yu Gonglian still has self-knowledge, her own craftsmanship is certainly not as good as those masters who have been immersed in the way of cooking for decades.

What I just said just to ease the atmosphere, but ended up comparing my own dishes with the master's and sending them to the big lady, isn't it super embarrassing.

"Eh? There's no such thing!" Hyakki Ayame panicked after hearing Amamiya Ren's exclamation, feeling as if the atmosphere was about to become awkward again. "Actually, I really like this kind of sweet cuisine. That...so...I think Amamiya-san's cuisine...is delicious."

While talking, Hyakki Ayame's face became more and more red.

"Thank you." Yu Gonglian said with a gentle smile.Although I don't know if this is the truth or polite words, it is always a compliment to him.

"Um...does Amamiya-san like spicy food?" At this time, Kagura Nana who was next to him asked hesitantly.

Unlike other people who focus mostly on sweet and sour pork ribs, Kagura Nana focuses more on mapo tofu, but it is obvious that mapo tofu is not suitable for exchange. And so on, this is also the reason why she clearly read the air, but didn't step forward.

"Huh? If it's chili, I like it." Yu Gonglian responded, while subconsciously glanced at Le Qinai's bento.Then his eyes lit up, and he regained his spirit. "Could it be that Kagura-san also likes spicy food?"

Here in Japan!It is really very difficult to find a companion who eats spicy food.Although the existence of Japanese spicy cabbage and Tang Xinzi means that there are indeed guys who can eat spicy food in Japan, but such people are really super rare!

The so-called Tang Xinzi is actually chili powder, but most of the people who use Tang Xinzi to cook in Japan do not use [Tang Xinzi], but [Seven Flavors Tang Xinzi], which is a mixed spice, and its spiciness is completely comparable to that of Tang Xinzi alone. no.

For those who can accept the taste of Tang Xinzi alone, the spicy taste acceptance is probably above 500.For Kagura Nana, it should be around 1500-2000, which is not up to the level of the six spicy provinces in China.

A Chinese spicy food lover in six provinces should be around 3000-5000.Umiya Ren is probably in this range.

The famous [MAXEND] ramen in Japan is about 2000 if you are honest with instant noodles. Of course, if you eat it dry, that is another situation.

As for [Prison Intensity], like China’s Grim Reaper series and Pepper Essence series, they belong to the program effect props of Internet celebrities, and they cannot be used to measure the acceptance of peppers in a certain area at all.But any normal person will not feel delicious and happy eating these things.

The above argument does not apply to Indians and the gifted.

After knowing that Kagura Nana also eats spicy food, she was very happy to find a companion, Amamiya Ren. After thinking about it for a while, she stretched out a finger and said, "Wait a minute, Kagura-san."

Then Amamiya Ren walked back to her satchel and took out the jar containing hot pepper oil.Facing Kagura Nana with a mysterious face, she said, "Kagura-san, do you want to try this?"

"What is this?... Chili sauce?" Kagura Nana looked at the jar in Amamiya Ren's hand with doubts on her face. Although she could probably see what it was, even if she saw it, she felt meaningful unknown.

Japanese chili sauce is generally sweet and spicy, and there is also such a magical thing as edible chili oil, but the actual taste...is quite subtle.Kagura Nana also knows these two things, but as a Tang Xinzi star, she has no interest in these two things.

"No, this is Youlazi. The official name is Youpolazi. It is a very versatile dish that originated in Shaanxi Province in China. It can be used directly as a dish or as a condiment. Want to try it?" Yu said Gong Lian explained positively.

"Eh? In China, do you use chili as the main dish?" Kagura Nana said with a smile of interest. "It seems interesting, I want to try it."

"Ah, that's right!" Kagura Nana said to Amamiya Ren as she suddenly remembered something before the official tasting. "Um... are there any nuts in this?"

"Nuts?" Yu Gonglian was stunned for a second, and then she came to her senses.If it's just the taste, I wouldn't say it at this time, so it should be a taboo—Kagura Nana probably can't eat nuts because of her physical condition.

"I don't add any nuts to this can of spicy oil. However, some different spices may be added to the dish of spicy oil according to everyone's taste. Some types may add peanuts and the like. If Kagura If Sang is interested in Youlazi, please remember this." Yu Gonglian said seriously.

"Thank you Amamiya-san, I will remember." Kagura Nana showed a smile, then looked at the oily pepper in front of her, and said with some trepidation: "Is it really enough to eat it directly like this? There is no matching or eating method Need something?"

Although it is not uncommon to eat chili peppers or tang xinzi directly, eating spices dryly is a greedy thing to do secretly after all, and she really puts what looks like a mixture of crushed chili peppers and oil in front of her. , Said this is a dish, and it still feels novel and shaken.

"Since it's a side dish, of course it's better to go with the main food, such as rice. But for me, I think it's delicious to eat directly. Kagura-san can try it."

"I understand." Kagura Nana nodded, and put the spicy oil into her mouth seriously.Immediately his eyes lit up. "good to eat!"

"Eh? Why? It looks like it's just crushed chili and fried with oil, why can it have such a taste?"

"Actually, the taste of this dish is very important, so the key lies in the heat..."

On the one hand, Ren Amamiya is super active Amway, and on the other hand, Kagura Nana is also very happy to accept such Amway. When the two chatted together, they didn't eat much for lunch.

"These two people have completely fallen into the world of chili cuisine." Inuyama Yuhime sighed flatly, while adding the sweet and sour pork ribs that he had just changed into his mouth.

"Oh! Delicious!"

☆Appendix☆

Note ①——Cooking genres made up, think twice, this kind of thing is not easy to mention the masters in reality.

PS·I unilaterally declare that Kagura Nana is the most difficult Vtuber to write.It’s really too difficult. A traditional Japanese girl like boiled water, how can I write a glass of boiled water that everyone loves to drink deliciously?hateful!

PS2. After writing this chapter, I checked a lot of information, as if I was writing a dragon ball battle article.I finally figured out how spicy the so-called MAXEND is, but it's actually average.Even the dog mother who is famous for her spicy taste can't reach the level of Sichuan Gui.

Chapter 70 adds a little more work

"Could it be that Amamiya-san is very good at Chinese cuisine?" After chatting with Amamiya Ren for a while, Kagura Nana suddenly realized something.

"I'm not good at it. In fact, I don't have any preference for cooking. As long as I am interested in cooking, I will learn it. But when it comes to spicy food, Sichuan cuisine is more sophisticated in Chinese cuisine, so it is inevitable that I will be attracted. , I have learned Sichuan cuisine well. I have also learned Hunan cuisine, which is the cuisine school in Hunan, China." Ren Amamiya explained halfway, and then saw Nana Kagura with her mouth slightly open, shaking her head slightly, unable to get a word in , as if his brain couldn't keep up.

"Anyway, it's right that it's not Shanghai's food." Yu Gonglian concluded with a casual smile. "If Kagura-san likes it, I'll give you this can of chili oil."

"Eh? That's embarrassing, no way." Kagura Nana froze for a moment, then waved her hands and refused.

"It doesn't matter! Grandma said that dining is a one-time meal, and you should cherish it every time."

"Where did you come from, the head of Heavenly Law?" Inuyama Yuhime complained from the side.

"Hahahaha, in short, please accept it." Ugonglian said with a hearty smile. "There has never been anyone around me who eats spicy food. Sora has a good cooking skill, but no one can share the most complacent dishes. Today, Kagura-san is really grateful for listening to me so much. I I'm super happy now, so this is a thank you gift."

Yu Gonglian thought for a while, then changed the term, and continued to speak in a serious manner.

"Or let's put it this way, what about me! Currently entrusted by the current temporary guardian, I will serve as the chef in the boarding shop every Sunday. If you are satisfied with my craftsmanship, welcome to come to the shop to support me. The location It’s LeBlanc’s Café at Sigenjaya Station. So today’s actions before this! It’s all... haha, it’s an advertisement!” Amamiya Ren couldn’t help laughing halfway through her speech .

"Eh? Amamiya-senpai, chef? Really?" Shigure Yuromo spoke in surprise. In a place like Japan where you pay attention to seniority, sometimes it is easy to be misunderstood when you say the word "chef".

"Don't get me wrong, even though I said that, there are only me and the store manager in the store. The store manager thought it was interesting and let me be the chef." Ren Amamiya waved her hand, then coughed and said in a serious manner. "Hey, in short, everything just now has a purpose. Ah! Of course, if you are far away or if it is inconvenient, please ignore everything I just said."

"Even that is very powerful." Inuyama Yuhime echoed. "I'll go if I get the chance."

I just don't know if it's from the heart or politely.

"Thank you very much." Yu Gonglian said with a smile.

"Well, it's already at this point, so I won't bother you for the time being. If I don't go back, I will be burned." After speaking, Amamiya Ren returned to the boys group with her lunch box.

"Eh? That..." Kagura Nana looked at the can of hot pepper in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and still accepted it.

To be honest, she really likes this thing. She really likes chili, to the point where she usually carries chili powder with her.

And when Yu Gonglian took it out, the can of spicy oil was still full, which meant that after Yu Gonglian fried the can of spicy oil, she hadn't eaten it once.

But then again, if Ren Amamiya touched the can of chili with his chopsticks, he would not have given it to Kagura Nana. Girls are still very sensitive in some respects.

"I'm back~ I've been waiting for a long time~" Ren Amamiya knew that she had delayed a little time in the girls' group, so she was ready to be condemned when she returned to the boys' group.

"Yeah~ We thought you were going to stay there forever! Mr. Chef~" Jinghua followed Umiyaren's tone and deliberately dragged on.

"If I get a little more familiar, maybe I'll really stay there! But now, it's inevitable that I'll be embarrassed if I stay there." Yu Gonglian said without any shame. "It's you two cafeteria parties! Don't you really need me to help you make bento? If you could go with me just now, I think my situation today will be much better. I'm almost dying of embarrassment over there."

Yu Gonglian was really tired just now, although he asked for it.Inuyama Tamaki, Kagura Nana, and Shigure Hagoromo were his assistants, but Hyakki Ayame was basically a complete stranger.It's too brain-intensive to socialize with four girls you don't know very well.

"Yeah! After you pass by, the two of us can only eat fried noodles and bread alone here." Jinghua sighed, and then looked at Parry. "Parry! Why don't we make our own lunch boxes and bring them over on Saturdays? It was okay before, but after this guy Amamiya came over, he felt more and more that he couldn't stay any longer."

Although Jinghua is not good at cooking, she still has the skills to keep herself from starving to death.

But Parry didn't seem to be like this. After hearing Jinghua's words, he looked over in a daze, showing a desperate expression, and said with nothing to love: "If I make bento, my kitchen will be blown up."

"..." Jinghua and Yugonglian fell silent after hearing the words.

After being silent for a while, Yu Gonglian raised her head and asked Parry, "Can you cook instant noodles?"

"Hey! That kind of thing can't be used as a bento!"

"Well, let's not talk about this for now. If you eat, you can still relax with boys. Come on, let me show you something good." Yu Gonglian took out her thermos cup, and took three A disposable cardboard cup, and poured a cup of hot soup for Jinghua and Parry.

"Are you Doraemon?" Parry complained beside him. "It always feels like you have an endless supply of food in your schoolbag."

"I also hope that there will be an endless supply of food in my schoolbag, so that I don't have to get up so early every morning." Umiya Lian took a sip of soup from her paper cup and sighed seriously.

"Since you mentioned this, I also want to ask. You seem to be staying up late every day, and you have to get up early. Your body will not be able to bear it." Jinghua looked at Yu Gonglian seriously and said with concern. "No matter how anxious you are, if you collapse from exhaustion, wouldn't it be nonsense to talk about making a debut?"

"...It's only been a few days, I'm not that fragile yet. And I didn't stay up late last night, I still know my body well." Amamiya Ren was silent for two seconds, then put on a commercial smile and said . "Anyway, thank you for your concern."

"Speaking of this, about the recording peripherals, do you have any news from Jinghua?"

"I did find a few second-hand items of a good brand in the past few days, but they will only be delivered this afternoon. I'm not sure if the intact parts are enough to assemble a usable finished product." Jinghua said bluntly. "How about this? If it goes well, I will take the finished product to Sixuan Tea House tomorrow. Didn't you just say that you will be the chef tomorrow? Remember to entertain me."

It seems that Jinghua heard the polite words Yu Gonglian said in the girl group just now.

"Eh? Are you going? Will it be too troublesome?" Yu Gonglian looked at Jinghua in surprise.

"If Yugong is the chef, I think it's worth a trip." Jinghua smiled, then turned to Parry and said. "Parry, do you want to go with me?"

"Okay!" Parry said, chewing on the ribs.

"..." Yu Gonglian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Speaking of which, LeBron's Sunday job basically didn't have any customers, so it should be considered a rare and relatively casual job.

Is he adding more work to himself now?

Forget it, it's just two people, okay.

Yu Gonglian thought indifferently.

Chapter 71 Red Sleeves Add Fragrance

After lunch, it's time to get down to business.

After Inuyama Yuhime and the others talked about [cuteness] yesterday, Ren Amamiya thought carefully about whether she should add a few more expressions to the model.

Originally, Amamiya Ren's preset expressions were expressionless, joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, plus one or two special smiling faces that were slightly different from [Joy], and there were about ten expressions.

Regarding the [cute boy] thing, Ren Amamiya did a little homework after returning home...and found a lot of pictures of fake girls.

Very strange.

But fortunately, after properly changing the key words a few times, Amamiya Ren probably understood what the girls said about "cute". If Amamiya Ren summed it up herself, it would be "understand and accept." After the other party is excellent, you will be eager to see some small flaws in the other party that can be accepted."

To put it simply, an image that is too complete and perfectly fit tends to give people a sense of distance, such as the superheroes of DC movies; and some appropriate defects can make the characters more intimate in the hearts of others, such as the superheroes of Marvel movies.

The former is more suitable for larger overall planning, but it is not as good as the latter for individual character creation.

To sum up, the former is suitable for matching the plot, while the latter is suitable for shaping the character.

As a profession whose main selling point is Vtuber, it is of course better to choose the latter.

This kind of defect management is similar to [Contrast Cuteness], but it is not the same. The key is that the range of [Acceptable Small Defects] is a bit difficult to grasp.
