Zongman: People are in a fight and are pushed down at the beginning

They are all talented.

"Okay then, when are you going to tell your uncle and aunt?"

"Let's do it tomorrow. It's not good for my parents to know too much in such a short time. I'll test their attitude. If they have no objection, you can come again."

Nangong Shuo: "Then why should I go?"

Chapter 153: Nangong Shuo's Craftsmanship (Including the Real Recipe)

The door to the apartment opened and Tohka walked in with a look of despair on her face.

Seeing that everyone was actually in the living room, Tohka felt aggrieved.

"Saku, Shiori, why didn't you go to school today?!"

"Um...we experienced something this morning...emmm...something that's hard to describe, and we didn't wake up until just now."

Tohka was stunned.

"Did you encounter an attack? Are those robot armies coming?"

As she spoke, the familiar giant sword Aosha Gong appeared in Tohka's hand again.

"Don't worry, Tohka, it's not those guys. Relax."

Later, everyone understood according to Tohka's explanation.

Shixiang got up a little late this morning, so she was not affected by Nangong Shuo's love massage.

But because she was almost late when she got up, she was in a hurry to go out and didn't even have breakfast. She thought about asking Shizhi or Saku to buy her two loaves of bread when she got to school.

But when I got to school, I found that no one in the Elf Apartment came to school.

Even that Tobiichi Origami woman didn't come today!

Not to mention bread for breakfast, there is not even any lunch box.

If Tohka hadn't been on good terms with the pantyhose-washing trio, and they hadn't shared some with her when they saw that she didn't bring any lunchbox, Tohka would have doubted whether she could have made it through the whole day.

When Shiori learned about Tohka's experience, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

He turned around and glared at Nangong Shuo.

"I'm sorry, Tohka. As an apology, I'll buy you something you want to eat."

"Wow, really? Then I want..."

Rokuko suddenly stood between Nangong Shuo and Yatogami, interrupting Tohka.

"Sir, where is Liu'er? You bullied him badly today."

"And me, and us."

Shionai also pulled Shiono closer to Nangong Shuo.

Kotori Itsuka didn't say anything, but her eyes were always fixed on Nangong Shuo.

"Hiss, you all want gifts? Never mind, I'll prepare dinner tonight."

Nangong Shuo is ready to show off his skills.

You have to know that he has been an orphan in his past and present lives, and no one has taken care of him since he was a child. Although he has not learned any professional cooking knowledge, cooking is still very simple for him.

However, no one had ever seen Nangong Shuo cook, so the first thing they thought of was a common problem among Japanese men.

He's a male chauvinist and has never been in the kitchen.

In their eyes, cooking is easy, as long as you have hands.

But when I actually got to the kitchen, I found that I didn’t recognize anyone.

At most, you can just fry some rice, but in the end the rice may be mushy or even sugar may be mistaken for salt.

"Um, Nangong, let me do the cooking. Everyone is used to my cooking. What if someone doesn't like Chinese food..."

Gokawa Shiori originally wanted to rescue Nangong Shuo, but Nangong Shuo just waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, this dish should suit Japanese tastes very well. After all, the main feature is its freshness."

After saying that, Nangong Shuo went straight to the Wuhe family.

I went into the kitchen and started to study the seasonings.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Nangong Shuo, Gokawa Shiori had no choice but to go to the Gokawa family with other elves.

Tohka was still looking forward to it, but everyone else was already worried about whether they could have dinner tonight.

There is no way, the general environment is here.

Nangong Shuo discovered that Gokawa Shiori might have prepared a lot of seasonings used in Chinese cuisine at home because he liked Chinese cuisine more.

Even as a spice for soup.

These are indeed what I need.

No need to go out to buy it, which is convenient.

Clean the fish.

Prepare the fish by cutting into flower patterns.

Put oil in the pot and add scallion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.

Then add the lamb chops and water until the water level covers the lamb chops. Simmer over low heat. Add onions, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns while cooking to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.

About an hour or so.

Then use the same method to boil a pot of chicken soup with water (you all know this, right?).

Wait until the soup turns milky white, then remove the meat and the ingredients.

In another pot, pour a little oil into the pot, wait until the oil is hot, add the fish, fry until one side is golden brown, turn it over, and fry until both sides are golden brown, then add the lamb chops soup and chicken soup, simmer on low heat until the fish becomes soft, add a small amount of salt, and garnish with a little bit of chopped green onion before serving, and the dish is ready.

(You can try it yourself at home. This is a dish my older family would make during festivals. I've never seen it in any restaurant. I used to think it was what everyone calls "fish and mutton fresh." But then I found out it has soy sauce or something for coloring, and comes with side dishes. That's when I realized it wasn't. It might be a way of eating it that my older family figured out. It's very delicious. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to fish in my generation, so I think the tradition might not be passed down. :-D)

Because it was a stew, it still needed to be simmered for a long time. Nangong Shuo put it on the stove and started preparing another dish directly.

Sweet and sour pork.

This is a dish that almost everyone in Northeast China will study when they are young.

There are many different approaches to this.

(I won’t write the specific recipe for this, it’s available online. My family doesn’t have any special recipes. My dad only has one skill for making noodles with gravy, which I haven’t learned. The problem is that I still think that’s the most delicious.)

Add a pot of iron stew and that’s pretty much it for today.

Although there are only three dishes, those who are familiar with Northeastern cuisine know the characteristics of Northeastern cuisine.

Cheap, large portion, and good with rice.

So compared to the dishes, Nangong Shuo steamed a lot more rice than usual.

This meal is in line with the Japanese people's eating habits.

Must have soup, main course, pickles.

Nangong Shuo washed his hands and walked towards the dining table carrying a large basin with a lid.

This dish is his masterpiece - although because the name of "Fish and Lamb Soup" has been taken by another dish, it can only be called "Mutton and Fish Soup".

Well, Nangong Shuo is not good at naming.

When you open the lid, the rich aroma hits you in the face.

Tohka took a deep breath of the fresh air, and her eyes lit up.

"Saku's craftsmanship seems to be better than Shiori's!"

Tohka's words won the agreement of everyone present.

"You still say he's worthy of being from a country with great food? Even though I've never seen him in the kitchen, he has such great cooking skills."

Nangong Shuo pinched his waist and rubbed his nose after listening to everyone's praise.

"We're just getting started. There's still food in the kitchen."

After saying that, Nangong Shuo went to the kitchen again.

Seeing that Nangong Shuo went to the kitchen, the greedy Shixiang couldn't help but want to have a taste, but when she looked, the fish meat had already scattered into the soup, and it was impossible to eat it without a spoon.

Chapter 154: Reward

In fact, not only Tohka, but even Gokawa Shiori wants to have a taste of it now.

It’s no wonder she’s greedy, the taste is indeed very fragrant and fresh.

Just by looking at the milky white soup, you can guess that this is a rich-flavored dish.

Another purpose of mine is that as long as I know the dishes that Nangong cooks, I will naturally understand what kind of dishes Nangong likes.

Seeing that everyone around the table was staring at the soup on the table, Shion jumped down from the chair and ran quickly to the kitchen.

Then, the petite figure came out with bowls, chopsticks, and a spoon for soup.

Because there were so many people and the bowls were piled very high, Yoshino had to be very careful, for fear of accidentally breaking the bowl in her hand.

Shiona noticed her movements and ran over, taking half of the bowl.

If two people hold it, the stack of bowls won't be that high.

Put the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.

Shion took the bowls back to the kitchen to serve everyone some rice.

At this time, Nangong Shuo also came out with a pot of food.

"Look at you all, why aren't you as sensible as Yoshino? You even know to help me get the bowls and chopsticks and serve the rice."

Shiori Gokawa felt a little embarrassed. She was just looking at what was put in the soup.

But after looking for a long time, there was nothing but onions, ginger, garlic and a fish.

It’s impossible that Nangong could make such a delicious dish with just these ingredients, right?

Is this Chinese cuisine?

By the way, I have also seen a dish like this, called boiled cabbage. There is only one cabbage heart in it, but the ingredients are so many and so complicated that Shiori Gokawa feels overwhelmed just by looking at it.

Kotori Itsuka turned her head away and pretended not to hear.

Rokuko had already taken the bowls and chopsticks and served soup to everyone.

Nangong Shuo looked at her and then just glanced past her.

Well, Rokuko is still very well behaved, at least he helped to serve the rice.

It seems that there is only Tohka...

Never mind, she was already trying very hard not to eat up all the soup in the bowl.

After hearing what Nangong Shuo said, Gokawa Shiori also went to the kitchen and brought up the last dish.

Sweet and sour pork, stewed in an iron pot, and mutton and fish soup.

Following Nangong Shuo's "It's time to eat," everyone said:

"I'm starting to eat." After that, Nangong Shuo's dishes began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The most popular dish is not Nangong Shuo’s masterpiece or the most delicious iron pot stew, but the sweet and sour pork.

This dish is perfect for girls and kids.

The strong sweet and sour taste of this dish will cover up the freshness of the mutton and fish soup.

This is why, although the soup was the most attractive dish at the beginning, after the sweet and sour pork was served, this soup was the slowest to be consumed.

Nangong Shuo curled his lips, scooped some of the iron pot stew with a spoon and mixed it into the rice.

Soon, the bowl of rice was stirred into a sticky consistency. Nangong Shuo picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful and put it into his mouth.

Well, it still tastes the same.

Northeastern cuisine really has to be eaten with rice.
