My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 223 Hot Pot
That look seemed to say, I knew you were unreliable.

Thinking of the bold words and lofty ambitions before, the indoor photon suddenly made up his mind.

It cannot be added or changed.

He immediately said firmly: "Brother Minghui, how could I need a clear soup pot?"

"As for the food?"

"I like all the dishes you like."

"After all, our tastes are very much the same."

Liu Minghui complained that he had a headache, and he didn't need to think about the reason why Photon in the room would say that.

There is no need to injure the body because of the emotional struggle.

The spicy here is not ordinary spicy.

Especially smelling the familiar fragrance in the air, Liu Minghui felt that what Xie Zixin ordered was definitely super spicy.

This kind of spiciness is a bit hot even for Liu Minghui.

Not to mention the little party dish of indoor photon.

This is definitely Xie Zixin's attack on Indoor Photon.

I can't let Photon in the room be fooled because of a dispute of will.

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Zixin, I'm really sorry."

"I have some ulcers in my mouth recently, so I may not be able to eat too spicy food."

"Plus what you ordered is super spicy, I really can't stand it."

"Let's do this, just make do with me and add a tomato pot."

"The sour taste is the best."

Xie Zixin looked at Liu Minghui with resentment, as if saying:
You have changed.

Brother Minghui, you have changed.

I actually ate the tomato pot to death.

Although each other knew who the tomato pot was ordered for.

But it was impossible for her to refute Liu Minghui's words, so she immediately said very generously:
"Okay, let's add another tomato pot."

After finishing speaking, he even smiled sweetly, and added: "As long as it is Brother Minghui's request, I will agree."

He immediately stood up and shouted: "Waiter, add a tomato pot here!"

Photon in the room looked at Liu Minghui very moved.

He didn't expect that Liu Minghui would be willing to take the blame in order not to get hurt.

The hand holding Liu Minghui immediately became harder.

No one can separate me from Liu Minghui.

I have to work hard to seize this fate by myself!
After a brief tug-of-war, everyone finally reached a consensus.

Prepare to eat first, and talk about anything while eating.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, smelling the strong aroma of butter filling the air.

The three of them also had great appetites.

But before eating, you still need to adjust an ingredient.

There is a self-service small food table here, with all kinds of small materials, which is very convenient.

Liu Minghui took the lead, took a small bowl, and began to season his favorite ingredients.

Garlic, a little salt, a little sugar.

Add a little scallion and sesame seeds.

Finally, add a sufficient amount of sesame oil, and the simple ingredients are complete.

Among them, sesame oil is the key point.

Not only can it make hot pot taste more delicious.

It also has the effect of preventing getting angry.

Although Liu Minghui's little material seems very simple, it is enough.

The highlight of the hot pot here is the freshness of the ingredients and the bottom flavor of the hot pot.

A truly excellent hot pot doesn't actually need too many dipping sauces.

After getting his materials together, Liu Minghui looked at Photon in the room.

But he found that she was standing next to the snack table, looking at the various snacks at a loss.

Immediately asked: "Photon, don't you know how to adjust the dipping sauce?"

"Yes, although Sakura Country has hot pot, most people don't go out."

"One is unbearable, and the other is that the price is very expensive."

"Or you can follow my example and make the simplest ingredients."

"At that time, if you feel that the taste is lacking, just come back and add some ingredients that match the taste."

The bewildered indoor photon nodded vigorously when he heard Liu Minghui's words, as if he had met a savior.

Then he said with some embarrassment: "Minghui, can you show me how to adjust the ingredients again?"

"Your movements are too fast, I can't see clearly."

Liu Minghui thought for a moment, then handed the ingredients he had mixed directly to Indoor Photon and said:
"Then just use mine."

"I'll just make another copy."

After finishing speaking, he directly took the small bowl in the hands of Indoor Photon, and began to quickly season the ingredients.

Liu Minghui's hand was very steady.

The control of each small material is very precise.

Not long after, a bowl of exactly the same ingredients appeared in his hands.

It's just that Xie Zixin snatched it right after it was adjusted.

Brother Minghui personally mixed the ingredients.

She wants it too.

Xie Zixin smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Minghui, thank you for helping me mix the ingredients."

"In that case, I would be disrespectful."

Liu Minghui had some headaches, but he didn't expect his little information to be intercepted twice.

But suddenly, as if thinking of something, he said, "Zixin, wait a minute!"

While Xie Zixin was stunned, Liu Minghui picked up a large handful of coriander and put it into the small bowl.

Xie Zixin loves coriander the most.

This is also the conclusion Liu Minghui reached when they got along with each other before.

So for her, this snack definitely lacked a lot of coriander.

Xie Zixin was stunned by Liu Minghui's behavior.

She never thought that Liu Minghui stopped her to add coriander to her.

So she still remembers her preferences?
Even after not seeing each other for several years, you still remember it so clearly?

If you don't really care about someone, how can you do this.

At this moment, Xie Zixin admitted that she was a little moved.

The two were childhood sweethearts, and it is impossible to say that they have no feelings for each other.

Otherwise, the two would not have been able to get together before.

It's just that after a few years of fading, this feeling has been minimal.

Silence is the gunpowder that seems to have lost its passion.

However, it is Liu Minghui's small details that are the easiest and most touching, like sparks, directly igniting the gunpowder.

An explosion of extremely strong emotions.

This outburst directly touched Xie Zixin's heart.

Maybe you can try it yourself?

An idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

In fact, Xie Zixin has no intention of pursuing Liu Minghui.

The reason why she did that.

It's just that he is resentful and not afraid that the big watery radish he has painstakingly planted will be eaten by pigs.

I just want to vent my anger on myself.

At the same time, he also wanted to help Liu Minghui take the indoor photon test in school.

After all, Liu Minghui was her childhood sweetheart.

In addition, the relationship between the elders in the family is also good.

Naturally, it is not so easy to break it off.

At worst, the two are still friends.

It is also a very reasonable thing to help a friend's staff to find a new girlfriend.

The blind date this time was not so much Liu Minghui's intention to make a break.

It might be better to say that she, Xie Zixin, wanted to make a break.

In fact, there is no such thing as Xie Zixin who is waiting infatuatedly, Liu Minghui is just her shield.

As a professional, Xie Zixin has no intention of falling in love.

However, my family members urged me more urgently.

Immediately, he thought of the idea of ​​using Liu Minghui as a shield.

Anyway, Liu Minghui is far away in the Sakura Country, and this kind of thing has no effect on him at all.

In fact, Xie Zixin herself was taken aback when she received the blind date notice.

Why did Liu Minghui come back so unexpectedly?
Fortunately, the other party seems to already have a girlfriend.

Doing that by himself didn't really cause him any trouble.

The next thing is just to make things clear.

However, what awaits Xie Zixin is probably the never-ending urge to get married.

Hey.

Xie Zixin sighed.

Marriage is not as interesting as career?
At the same time, he put away his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Love is poison.

How could you buy yourself with just a handful of coriander?
Thinking of this, Xie Zixin walked towards her position.

man?

Not even eating hot pot is important.

What Liu Minghui likes to eat is completely an excuse.

It's obvious that she likes to eat it.

As soon as she came near her desk, she saw the long-awaited indoor photon.

After seeing that it was she and not Liu Minghui who came, Photon in the room was obviously disappointed.

A stupid woman who only has eyes for men?

Xie Zixin found it funny. He sat in his seat and said to the photon in the room:
"My bowl of small ingredients is also prepared by brother Minghui himself."

"Not only that, look at it, there's a lot more to it."

"Does this prove that in Brother Minghui's heart, I am more important than you?"

Xie Zixin's words immediately attracted the attention of Photons in the room, and she retorted without hesitation:
"how is this possible?"

"I must be the most important one in Minghui's heart."

"I didn't play it for me, just not sure if I like it or not."

"Your measurement of sowing discord is not very good."

Xie Zixin, who had seen through her intentions, was not angry, and said very calmly:

"It seems that you are very confident in yourself?"

"I just don't know what advantage you have compared to me?"

"If you want a body, you don't have a body, and if you want a family, you don't have a family."

"I advise you to obediently leave brother Minghui."

"So as not to drag him down."

At this moment, Liu Minghui came back with the ingredients he had prepared.

Somewhat curiously, he asked, "What are you two discussing?"

"Looks like he's happy."

Xie Zixin said very generously: "It's nothing, we were just discussing whether the hot pot is delicious or not."

"I believe that Photon will immediately feel the unique charm of hot pot."

"Okay, now that the ingredients are adjusted, let's start eating."

Liu Minghui didn't doubt him, and sat down by the photon in the room.

When eating hot pot, you also need to pay attention to the order.

Liu Minghui first picked up some food that was difficult to mature and put it into the hot pot.

For example, potatoes, lotus roots, thicker meat, etc.

Of course, the lotus root here refers to the large glutinous lotus root.

For crispy lotus root, it does not need to be cooked for so long.

If cooked for too long, it will lose its crispiest texture.

The crispy lotus root swallowed by the hot pot will not be able to taste its own sweet taste, which is not worth the candle.

Also, be careful when handling ingredients.

Otherwise, the oil and water will splash, and the clothes will definitely be seriously injured.

After placing these ingredients that are difficult to ripen, place some foods that have a medium maturity time.

Mushrooms, beans, shrimp paste, meat and more.

Then you can eat it.

In order to take care of the indoor photons, Liu Minghui also put a lot of ingredients into the tomato pot.

Make sure she won't get hot.

Then you can eat it.

While waiting for other foods to mature, start adding some very easy-to-ripen foods.

Eat and wait.

After eating the easy-to-ripen food, the second batch of food is also ripe.

After eating the second batch of food, the first batch of difficult-to-ripe food has also matured.

This ensures uninterrupted enjoyment of hot pot.

The cleaned duck intestines look very pink and tender, very attractive.

Pick one up and put it directly into the boiling butter pan.

The time should not be too long.

It only takes more than ten seconds to remove the duck intestines.

Just dip it lightly in the ingredients and you can taste the unparalleled flavor of duck intestines.

Considering that there is an indoor photon this hot pot newbie here.

She seemed a bit overwhelmed, completely uninitiated.

Liu Minghui hesitated for a moment, but still put the duck intestines into the indoor photon bowl.

Once she took the first bite, it was impossible for her to stop.

Indecisive?

This is the biggest blasphemy against hot pot.

I really have to hesitate.

Just thinking about what food to eat first.

Liu Minghui said with a smile: "Guangzi, eat quickly, the duck intestines will not taste good when they are cold."

"Different foods have the most suitable time for different foods."

"You can learn from me and cook your favorite food."

"Food cooked by yourself will have a special flavor."

"I will remind you of the most suitable time for each food, so that you can have the most delicious hot pot."

After listening to Liu Minghui's words, the indoor photon also felt a lot more at ease.

Facing the hot pot she ate for the first time, she was really at a loss as to what to do.

Carefully, I wanted to pick up the duck intestines in my bowl.

But he found that the duck intestines were so naughty that they slipped down the gap between the chopsticks.

It's obviously not strong enough and requires force to hold on.

Photon in the room seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became firm.

When he shot again, the photon power in the room increased, and he was able to firmly clamp the duck intestine.

I just put it in my mouth and started tasting it.

Fresh duck intestines are the most delicious.

It tastes crisp and crisp, and it has a unique taste that other foods do not have.

The cooking time is just right.

Not only the taste of the bottom of the pot and the duck intestines are perfectly blended together.

At the same time, the crisp taste and delicious taste of the duck intestines are preserved to the greatest extent.

The overall taste is very refreshing, and people can't help but want to have another one.

At the same time, a feeling called "spicy" began to spread in the mouth of the indoor photon.

The hot feeling, like a raging fire, rose up, constantly scorching the indoor photon's mouth.

The taste of the super spicy pot bottom is really extraordinary.

Photon in the room hurriedly picked up the iced bean paste on the side and drank it down.

Only then did I feel that the burning sensation in my mouth was relieved a lot.

Xie Zixin naturally noticed the behavior of indoor photons.

Secretly, I really can’t eat spicy food.

But she didn't mock anymore.

Forcibly eating spicy food is very heavy on a person's body.

It may even be serious enough to go to the hospital.

The fight of emotions caused Indoor Photon to go to the hospital.

Then Liu Minghui's impression of himself would only plummet.

Thinking of this, Xie Zixin said: "Brother Minghui, why didn't you tell me when you came back this time?"

"Let me pick you up at the airport."

"If my dad hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were back."

"It's just been a few years since we last met, are we already so estranged?"

Liu Minghui suddenly felt a headache, and explained: "Aren't I afraid to disturb you?"

"I heard from my parents that you have been busy all the time, and there is really no need to delay you."

"Delay?" Xie Zixin said emotionally under the accent, "What's the relationship between us?"

"You actually told me about the delay?"

"Even if we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, we are still half-brothers and sisters."

"From childhood to adulthood, are the relationships we have had for so many years really not as good as a person we have only known for a short time?"

"When did we drift apart?"

Ever since we parted ways.

Liu Minghui sighed.

It is really inappropriate to use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of the current dynasty.

After all, in this world, the two still maintain a beautiful childhood sweetheart relationship without any impact.

There was no other way, Liu Minghui had no choice but to admit his mistake: "This matter is indeed my fault."

"I hope Zixin can forgive you."

"After all, I was carrying a photon with me at the time, and I was afraid you would think poorly of me."

Liu Minghui hesitated and added: "After all, our relationship was so good."

Xie Zixin immediately said emotionally: "What is once?"

"We have a very good relationship now."

"I really don't think about it now."

"But it's not because of your girlfriend Mitsuko, but because of your own attitude towards me."

Embarrassed, Liu Minghui picked up a piece of fat beef with his serving chopsticks and rolled it into the pot.

Rinse it up and down several times in a hot pot until the meat gradually turns white and matures.

Put it directly into Xie Zixin's bowl.

Liu Minghui said apologetically: "It's all my fault after all."

"I made a mistake, and I will correct it."

"It's just that you don't need to affect the mood of eating hot pot because of this kind of thing."

"This restaurant is your favorite hot pot restaurant."

"Come on, this is your favorite fat beef roll."

"Eat quickly, the only food that can't be disappointed."

Looking at the fat beef rolls in the bowl, Xie Zixin felt irritable for no reason.

She originally thought that this trip was just for everyone to have a happy hot pot, and the two of them "broke up peacefully" without crying or arguing.

After all, in the real sense, they had never been together.

But the silent care Liu Minghui showed made her very irritated.

It reminded him of the time when Liu Minghui shared his snacks with her so selflessly.

Liu Minghui was reluctant to eat the snacks, but he was willing to share them with himself without hesitation.

This kind of kindness will always be remembered by Xie Zixin in her heart.

Now Liu Minghui's few words brought back memories and directly ignited her heart that had been silent for a long time.

Why do you know me so well.

Why do you take my affairs so seriously.

Why does my heart beat faster.

Xie Zixin suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and asked loudly:

"Why are you so nice to me when you already have a girlfriend?"

"Shouldn't we draw a line?"

Liu Minghui was taken aback immediately, and said, "I thought we were still friends at least."

"Just call me 'Brother Minghui' and I will treat you as my sister."

"Isn't it natural for a brother to take care of his sister?"

"Eat quickly."

"You never used to let your beef roll go cold for little things like that."

Still being childhood sweethearts is the best outcome for Liu Minghui.

Compared with the previous parting ways, it is really better.

He didn't dare to hope too much.

After hearing Liu Minghui's words, Xie Zixin was obviously taken aback.

So it's just the elder brother being kind to the younger sister?
She mechanically picked up the fat beef roll in the bowl, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Immediately, her eyes lit up.

I have eaten the fat beef roll countless times, but this time it has a different taste.

Under Liu Minghui's superb techniques, this piece of beef roll was cooked until it was tender and juicy.

The deliciousness of the fat beef roll is fully displayed.

Xie Zixin was a little unbelievable. The fat beef roll that she had eaten all her life could still have a new taste?
Maybe it’s because the boss’s fat beef rolls are of particularly good quality today?

Thinking of this, she followed Liu Minghui's example and cooked the fat beef roll.

It's just that this time the fat beef roll was delivered to the mouth.

It tastes the same as the previous fat beef roll except that it is slightly hotter.

Nothing can match the deliciousness of the fat beef roll in Liu Minghui's hands.

This situation made Xie Zixin feel amazing.

He immediately prepared to ask Liu Minghui to help him make two more pieces of beef roll.

But when she looked up, she saw Liu Minghui who was taking good care of the photons in the room.

The same is the fat beef roll.

This time it was a few rolls in the tomato pot.

Then put it into the bowl of the indoor photon.

Such meticulous care made Xie Zixin's jealous eyes go crazy.

She laughed at herself: Others are busy taking care of their girlfriends, so how can they have time to take care of their "sister"?
Pick up a piece of fat beef roll again and rinse it up.

But this time, the usually delicious fat beef rolls tasted bitter.

Let Xie Zixin lose interest in an instant after eating this slice.

What she wants to eat is the beef roll cooked for her by Liu Minghui himself!
Out of this low mood, Xie Zixin stopped making any noise and began to eat hot pot gloomily.

These delicacies in her eyes have all changed, and she is completely uninterested.

He could only watch Liu Minghui keep cooking food for the indoor photon with envy and hatred.

Only when there is too much food in the indoor photon bowl, can I be favored.

The few pieces of food I occasionally picked up had a different taste.

Don't taste too much better than usual.

Especially the spicy beef soup.

When you eat it in your mouth, the only feeling is the word tender.

One bite, the tenderness almost made Xie Zixin bite her own tongue.

Make her want more.

It's a pity that Liu Minghui has already gone to take care of Guangzi in the room at this time, so where can he have time to talk to her?

Jealousy made Xie Zixin become estranged.

But it's not easy to attack, and you have to keep smiling.

So angry, I really want to lift the table off!
On the other side, Indoor Photon is experiencing a unique food journey.

All kinds of hot and cooked ingredients were continuously delivered to her bowl.

She just cooked the beef roll clumsily once, but was immediately stopped by the frowning Liu Minghui.

This is simply reckless!
Then she enjoyed Liu Minghui's meticulous care.

With Liu Minghui's strength, it shouldn't be too easy to master the heat of these foods.

The ingredients are cooked to perfection every week.

One second too long makes you too old, one second too little makes you too young.

It tastes so good.

Compared with the beef rolls that Mitsuko cooked indoors, there is a huge difference.

In an instant, Photon in the room was extremely happy.

Fortunately, I am clumsy, otherwise how could I eat such delicious food?
Otherwise, how could I enjoy Minghui's meticulous care?

Even because of this idea, every piece of food has an inexplicable sweetness attached to it.

That's what love feels like.
