Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

"I noticed it from the beginning!"

"!"

"However, even though they noticed, they didn't try to expose my identity, nor did they seem frightened. The owner of the stall even said, 'No one can choose their birthplace. When he's open for business, he'll only have customers or bad customers. He'll treat customers well.' That statement really left a deep impression on me."

Noticing the change in other people's expressions, Kirishima Touka quickly added.

Fangcun Gongshan, Gujian Yuaner, Rujianxuan and Shifang Lianshi were all surprised and even a little moved when they heard this.

Even the usually quiet Renji Shiho couldn't help but ask, "Touka, does the owner of that stall mind that you're a ghoul?"

"They don't seem to mind...as long as I don't cause any trouble."

Kirishima Touka thought for a moment and said, "I think he's serious... Earlier, there was a girl cosplaying as a snake girl who seemed to have noticed that I was a ghoul and wanted to say something, but he and another girl stopped her."

"Incredible people are not simple..."

Yoshimura Gongshan commented thoughtfully.

"Ding--!"

The microwave oven next to it made a crisp sound, announcing that the work was completed. The light in the microwave went out, and the glow of the food became obvious.

“…It glows!”

“It really glows!”

Ru Jianxuan and Gu Jianyuan looked at the food in the microwave in amazement.

"This glow seems to change with the taste and texture of the food. It's brightest right after it comes out of the pot. Then, as time passes and the food cools, the glow gradually weakens and disappears. It will glow again when it's reheated, but not as brightly as at the beginning..."

Kirishima Touka talked about the online speculation that Kosaka Yoriko told her.

She put on heat-insulating gloves and opened the microwave. A rich and tempting aroma immediately rushed out along with a burst of hot air, covering her face.

There was the aroma of steamed rice flour and steamed noodles that she had tasted before, as well as the aroma of pearl dumplings that she had never tasted before, and the speed at which her saliva was secreted suddenly increased.

I seemed to hear a few sounds of swallowing saliva.

"..."

Two servings of steamed noodles and three and a half servings of pearl dumplings were naturally not enough for the five foodies to share, but there was nothing Kirishima Touka could do about it, because it was Lu Ping'an who limited the purchase.

She was able to bring these back thanks to Yizi's help.

finally--

The steamed rice flour and steamed noodles were divided equally, and everyone took a small bowl and got a little. The pearl dumplings could not be divided equally due to the number, so Kirishima Touka got six, and the others got three each.

Touka Kirishima is the biggest contributor tonight, and no one has any objection to this distribution.

"Then... I'm starting!"

Accompanied by sounds of anticipation, foodies began to enjoy the glowing dishes.

As soon as a mouthful of steamed rice noodles, steamed noodles, or pearl dumplings enters the mouth, all foodies are captivated on the spot, and Kirishima Touka is no exception.

"Hmm... Is this the food humans usually eat? It's so delicious!"

“So this is what noodles taste like…”

"The soft, chewy, and slightly sweet glutinous rice is this. And this...hmm? What kind of meat is this? It's so tender and juicy! So delicious!"

"This looks like pork?"

"Cabbage and carrots, so this is what they taste like..."

"..."

Foodies savor the human delicacies carefully.

Everyone ate in small bites, chewing slowly.

As I ate, my eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Then--

"Gone!"

"Ah... I want to eat more! It's not enough, it's not enough at all!"

“I still feel unsatisfied!”

"After eating this, I can't eat the old food anymore!"

"Dong Xiang, does that stall really close at 8 o'clock? Is it possible that it hasn't closed yet?"

"No way, eight o'clock is considered late."

“It’s so early to get off work…”

"There's nothing I can do but wait until tomorrow!"

Chapter 36 Go to your apartment, I choose a single-family house!

Saturday.

Lu Ping'an had originally planned to rest this weekend. If he had worked like a slave before the time travel and was still working like a slave after the time travel, wouldn't his time travel have been in vain? But he was now short of money.

He needs to rent a house, open a shop, and buy a car, all of which require money.

The early stages of starting a business are always difficult.

In order to live a better life as soon as possible, Lu Ping'an can only choose to work harder now.

So early in the morning, he came to the vegetable market again and again and again - bringing Lily Ling and the little evil god.

"Hmm? Wanna sell something else today?"

Lily Ling looked over curiously after noticing that Lu Pingan bought twice as much pork belly, a few strips of pork tenderloin, and a piece of white pork fat.

"Correct."

Lu Ping'an nodded at her and said, "I'm a little tired of eating steamed rice flour, steamed noodles and pearl dumplings these past two days. Let's change the taste."

"What new products are you making this time?" The little evil god looked over with interest.

“Steamed soup dumplings.”

New products naturally cannot be "steamed" without it, and it is not convenient to do other things. It is better to steam them all the way through and open the store first.

"Boss Lu, the pork belly, tenderloin, and pork fat are 32150 yen in total. I'll round off the price so you can just give me 32000 yen."

After weighing the pork belly, pork tenderloin and pork fat and calculating the price, the butcher spoke with a smile on his face.

“Okay.” Lu Ping’an responded and took money out of his wallet. The little evil god consciously went to take the meat, then said with a bitter face: “It’s so heavy!”

It was indeed not easy to carry more than 20 kilograms of pork in his hands. The key was to carry it all the way back. Lu Pingan put away his wallet and said, "You carry it first, I'll take over for you later."

That’s right, they still rely on manpower for transportation, which is one of the reasons why Lu Ping’an sells so much every day.

It’s really inconvenient to buy groceries!

In fact, he also thought about renting a car.

The car rental industry in Neon is quite developed, and renting a cheap car doesn't cost much money, but the problem is that he doesn't have a driver's license, and neither does Lily Ling, which is quite a hassle.

Lu Ping'an has now settled for the second best and bought a foldable cart on Amazon (shopping website).

It will be much easier to put the purchased ingredients in a cart and push it. This cart can also be used when going to the vegetable market in the future. At least the ingredients you bought will not be left gathering dust.

It is still in transit and will probably arrive tomorrow. Minos can also come tomorrow. She should be happy if I give her a cart as a greeting gift, right?

This is of course a joke!

But after that, Lu Ping'an could probably relax. Minos had endless energy and was also very lively.

awesome!

?????? ? ? )?

"What are steamed soup dumplings? Are they similar to stuffed soup dumplings?" The little evil god carried a large bag of pork to divert her attention, but she was indeed a little curious.

As I spoke, the image of crystal clear soup dumplings with paper-thin skin that seemed as if they would burst with a slight poke, spilling out delicious and fragrant soup, automatically emerged in my mind.

Then I started to feel a little greedy as I thought about it.

The main reason is that I trust Lu Ping'an's cooking skills too much!

Lily Ling also thought of soup dumplings, which had only one letter difference from the name Lu Ping'an said. The key point was that soup dumplings were also steamed. Could this be another way of saying soup dumplings?

“It’s not a soup dumpling.”

Lu Pingan took a few people to buy other ingredients, and said as he walked: "It's a kind of steamed wonton."

"Soup dumplings are what we call wontons over there, and steamed soup dumplings are also a famous delicacy in my hometown. There are meat soup dumplings and vegetarian soup dumplings. Today we'll start with the meat ones."

"The delicacies from Lu Jun's hometown?" Hearing this, Lily Ling suddenly became more interested. At the same time, she also thought that Lu Ping'an's hometown seemed to be in the Jiangnan area.

The little evil god blinked, very surprised: "It's wontons!"

This was really unexpected, but she was looking forward to it.

"Steam the dumplings, brush them with the soul sauce, top them with a layer of golden shredded egg, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. It's fresh, fragrant and delicious!"

"That sounds delicious! Slurp!"

"That is required!"

……

Because he decided to add a steamed soup dumpling today and didn't plan to reduce the number of pearl dumplings, Lu Ping'an bought a food preservation box before going back.

The diners tonight must be very happy. Not only are there new products, but the steamed rice flour, steamed noodles and pearl dumplings are still on sale.

Those who have money can eat more, and those who are short of money can also try new things.

Lily Ling and the Little Evil God can also receive more rewards, and Lu Ping'an's wallet will be fatter.

A happy situation is created!

……

When I returned to the apartment, it was almost nine o'clock.

Lu Ping'an had just soaked the glutinous rice and rice noodles when he saw Lily Ling coming to the kitchen door with her cell phone, followed by the little evil god who looked exhausted and a little listless.

"The agent is here. Is Mr. Lu ready?"

Lily Ling asked with a little joy.

Being able to move out and move to a better place is naturally a happy thing.

But it was a pity that Lu Ping'an would have his own room. The sight of a handsome young man sleeping in the living room had already made her heart beat faster.

"All right."

Lu Pingan picked up the rag beside him and wiped his hands, then strode over and asked, "Are you downstairs already?"

"Ah."

"Your service is really good. Of course, the agency fee isn't cheap."

Walk to the entrance——

This side is quite narrow, so we can only change shoes one by one.

Lily Ling stepped her cute feet wrapped in black calf socks into her orange round-toed leather shoes, bent down, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently hooked them, completing the action of putting on the shoes.

“Not all agencies offer pick-up and drop-off services. This is only possible if the location is remote or the order is large.”

“This service wasn’t available when I rented this place.”

The girl put on her other shoe and turned around.

"That's it."

Lu Ping'an blinked, and after Lily Ling moved aside, he also started to change his shoes.

After leaving the apartment, they glanced downstairs and saw a young man in a suit and glasses standing next to a business car waiting for them.

Several people hurried downstairs.
