Gentleman's Night Canteen

This is a seasoning fermented with soybeans as the main raw material, adding salt and different types of koji.

It can supplement protein to a certain extent when eating, and it can also play a seasoning role. In addition, it is not difficult to make, so many people always have this seasoning in their homes.

I have to say that human beings are really a kind of magical existence. Even if they are isolated by the sea, even if there is no communication, they will still have the same choice. For example, Neon has miso, and China also has Northeast China, which is also made from beans through fungal reproduction. Condiments such as soybean paste, bean paste, soybean paste, and tempeh.

However, the domestic ones are okay, and the miso blue dream always feels strange and not a habit of eating much.

Of course, personal habits are personal preferences. As a chef, he will prepare some commonly used things even if he doesn’t like them. For example, “miso” is one of them. After all, it’s like the owner of a fruit shop who may not like durian, but Whenever durian is on the market, most fruit shops can see this fruit.

Depending on the region, the materials used for miso soup are also different. For example, in areas near the sea, fish + wakame is generally used to make it, while in places in the interior, radish + tofu is used for making it, but only miso is the seasoning. Material is unchanged.

With 'miso' as the keynote, Blue Dream can also do whatever it wants.

Because it was not clear which recipe Yake and Momonga were more accustomed to, he simply wanted them all.

In other words, 'mountain delicacies' + 'seafood' are made together.

The first step is naturally to boil the soup, although there are differences in the base soup of miso soup in different regions due to regional differences. For example, sea fish is generally used on the seashore, while river fish is generally used in inland areas.

But Lan Meng didn't have a choice, but had a better choice———burning bonito.

This is a fish that is native to the world where the 'Star Base' is located.

Of course, although its name is 'flaming bonito', it does not mean that it is always on fire, but because it has a high oil content in its body.

The hunters in this world give Lanmeng the biggest feeling of being able to fight and eat.

But in fact, besides being able to fight and eat, they also have a lot of knowledge, such as wild survival skills, and using various wild plants to provide convenience for themselves, including but not limited to using wild plants to make traps, using wild animals and plants Deploy various props.

Among them, 'gunpowder grass' is a very important wild plant.

In the wild they are rich in water, but when dried they can be used to make gunpowder.

Of course, this kind of gunpowder is not as good as the finely crafted gunpowder in the workshop, but it is enough to use in the wild.

The simplest usage is to use the firelighter made from the fat in the body of the 'igniting bonito' together with the 'gunpowder powder' made from the dried and ground gunpowder substance of the 'gunpowder herb'.

This shows how rich the oil is in 'Fire Bonito'.

It is also this characteristic that makes it taste very good, second only to special fish supported by 'sashimi'.

Sashimi is a special fish that dies shortly after being out of water. It is difficult to preserve but also very delicious. It can be eaten directly without cooking, just remove its internal organs and gills and rinse with water.

Even Lan Meng, who is not very good at eating raw food, has to admit that this kind of fish is tender and delicious, but Lan Meng prefers to dip it in soy sauce or chili oil, which is more delicious.

Thinking of the experience when he returned to the Xingchen stronghold a few days ago, Lan Meng couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth.

Although his teacher does not have special abilities like himself, he has to admit that he is not far behind his teacher in terms of craftsmanship alone.

For some reason, Lan Meng, who was also a little hungry, also speeded up her movements unconsciously.

"Thorn~!"

Holding a kitchen knife, Lan Meng held a fish tail in one hand and lifted a burning bonito that was close to the length of an adult's forearm directly onto the chopping board, and then—————

"boom!"

Lan Meng, who was holding the kitchen knife backwards, hit the opponent's head directly with the back of the knife, and the bonito on fire, which was alive and kicking, lay flat instantly.

While admiring the quality of the kitchen knife Shirou gave, Lan Meng cut off the head of the fish with the knife and quickly disemboweled it and took out all the internal organs. Instead of fish, fish bone stew is needed.

Hold the body of the fish with the left hand, hold the handle of the knife with the right and tilt it slightly from the end to cut into the meat. However, Lan Meng did not start to separate immediately, but slowly stroked along the dorsal fin of the burning bonito, as if It's like drawing a dividing line.

When the 'dividing line' was drawn, Lan Meng's eyes froze and the blade turned.

There was no unnecessary movement, half of the fish meat fell with the blade, and even the ribs on the belly of the fish fell off smoothly.

An extremely exaggerated scene for ordinary people, but for Lan Meng, it is nothing more than a basic thing. After all, he has not mastered a few recipes in the past half a year, but has been training basic skills.

At that time, he spent most of his time practicing knife skills and fire control, except for sleeping for 6 hours a day and fishing... no, it should be said that it was RUA cat for two hours.

Not to mention that it is Paodingjieniu, but some common ingredients are very simple to explore and qualitatively deal with.

After Lan Meng disassembled the other side, he put the fish bones directly into the boiling pot and started to stew the soup, but he didn't stop there, but put the cut fish meat on the chopping board...

Chapter 37 'The Ordinary Cook'

The body of a fish can be divided into several parts according to biology, but as a chef, Lan Meng is not interested in these studies, he just breaks down the fish according to the quality of the fish itself.

The bones of the burnt bonito are also rich in oil, which is a good product for stewing soup. At the same time, the belly of the fish is rich in oil. Generally, it is the fish oil extracted from this part that is used to make "gunpowder powder". As a Chef Lan Meng prefers to 'fry' this part.

You don’t even need too much seasoning, you just need to heat up a stone and stick the belly of the fire bonito on it, as the temperature spreads, the fish oil will ooze out, heat it for enough time and add a little salt It is a delicacy.

And this is exactly what Lan Meng is going to do next. After all, fried fish is also a very common dish in daily life for Neon people.

The belly of the fish was used for frying, while the fins of the fish were removed one by one by Lan Meng and put aside to be put into the pot later.

Why does Lan Meng only use fish bones to make soup instead of whole fish?

One is because the fish bone is enough for soup, and the other reason is that the fish will become very woody after cooking for a long time, and its essence is almost all concentrated in the soup, but the fish does not matter.

However, the meat itself like fish fins is better because it is often used. If it is only stewed for a short time, it will not destroy its taste, so Lan Meng plans to add it to the miso soup.

The meat from the belly of the fish is fried, the meat from the fins is boiled in soup, and the meat from the tail is made into fish balls.

Compared with the fat accumulated in the belly of the fish and the proper amount of activity in the fins, the fish tail, the main organ of fish movement, has lower fat content. It will turn into wood whether it is boiled or fried. At this time, it is removed to make fish After the minced meat is finally turned into fish balls, its disadvantages can be avoided.

Mainly the fish meat between the belly and tail?

It is not as distinctive as other parts, so blue dream is generally used to make 'braised fish nuggets'.

The original mediocre characteristics can be brought out better through seasoning.

For a real chef, it is almost instinctive to use ingredients rationally, not to mention that this burning bonito is a D-grade ingredient, so it cannot be wasted.

After the fish is decomposed, blue dream is also made sequentially according to the production method.

Tonkatsu, tempura and steamed eggs are the last to be made, because their production time is relatively short, but the ingredients need to be prepared first. For example, the pork used in tonkatsu needs to be marinated first.

Although the cooking method is different from that of barbecue, the handling of the meat is similar, because he doesn't need to use his fists anymore because he has the cooking tools at hand.

Under the impact of the metal cooking stick, the pork tenderloin, which was already quite large, seemed to be "swollen" by two points.

The meat after all the muscle fibers are broken is not only easier to taste when marinated, but also better in taste.

Of course, this also requires enough practice. If the muscle fibers are all rotten due to too much strength, the meat will completely lose its bite. This requires a long period of practice to get used to the feel.

While putting the meat aside to marinate, Lan Meng didn't forget to marinate the chicken together.

The key to teriyaki chicken is the teriyaki sauce, but Lan Meng doesn't like to use this prepared seasoning, he prefers to configure it himself.

The so-called 'teriyaki' is actually a traditional neon way of cooking.

Made with lots of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and sake.

Its production method is similar to the traditional "braised in soy sauce", but there is a certain difference in the proportion of ingredients. Compared with braised in soy sauce, the taste is lighter, but the garlic flavor is heavier.

Lan Meng also simply used it to marinate the chicken legs, but the sugar was replaced with honey.

The pork and chicken thighs are marinated and temporarily put aside to marinate, and it is time for Lan Meng to start making curry.

Although he had prepared some fried chicken, French fries and other food for Solal and the others as appetizers, he really didn't want them to wait too long.

By the time the curry is done, the dashi has turned milky, but not enough.

First use a spoon and then use gauze to clean up all the foam, and then the fish soup is initially boiled.

Blue Dream does not intend to use too complicated ingredients.

Fish fin meat, fish balls, kelp, bean sprouts, mushrooms, radish and tofu.

There are a total of seven ingredients, among which bean sprouts and kelp that take a long time to cook are the first to cook, followed by mushrooms and radishes, and finally tofu, fish fin meat and fish balls.

When the last three ingredients are put in one by one, you can also turn the heat to a low heat and simmer slowly. At this time, you can make tonkatsu, teriyaki chicken, steamed eggs, and tempura...

Only Lan Meng had five cauldrons in his kitchen.

Among them is a steamer (steamed eggs), a frying pan (tonkatsu, tempura), a frying pan (fried fish belly, teriyaki chicken), a casserole (miso soup), and a cooking pot (curry).

It may seem exaggerated at first glance, but in fact the owner of the steamer, casserole and cooker needs to control the time, that is to say, the fryer and fryer need his attention and turn them over every once in a while.

But even so, making several dishes alone is not something that ordinary chefs can imagine, not to mention that Lan Meng was just 'drained' by Yuyuko yesterday, and today he is almost in a state of salted fish.

The reason why he was able to cook with high intensity at this time was that he was already used to this high-intensity rhythm, apart from the fact that he himself was far beyond the attention of ordinary people.

The group of foodies in the Xingchen stronghold don't care if you are busy or not when they eat.

Even though the 'head chef' who was Lan Meng's teacher at first did not allow Lan Meng to take charge of the cooking alone, even if he was only in charge of cutting vegetables on the chopping board, he had already trained his tough nerves.

In just ten minutes or so, almost all the cooking was declared complete.

Lan Meng, who probably guessed the food intake of several guests, did not serve them all as usual, but directly pushed a dining car, put two casseroles and a cooking pot on the dining car, and pushed the dining car towards Walk to the restaurant.

What surprised Lan Meng was that when he pushed the dining car back to the restaurant, he found that the three of them, Flying Squirrel, Yake and Solal, were not sitting at the bar as before, but surrounded by the three of them.

'what happened?You didn't hear any new guests in the kitchen just now? '

With curiosity, Lan Meng quickened his pace unconsciously, and then something happened that surprised him.

Surrounded by the three of them was Maomaomon.

At this time, the cats and beasts who were surrounded by the 'king of the undead', 'skeleton paladin' and 'sun knight' were not afraid at all. Instead, they blinked and looked at the three around them like a newborn calf. A 'weird'.

But when it heard the sound of the wheels of the dining cart rolling, its eyes lit up.

"Blue Dream! Blue Dream!"

The hopping cats and beasts jumped directly from the 'encirclement' towards Lan Meng, but they were very sensible and didn't approach the dining car.

Obviously, although it maintains the appearance of a cat, the cat is well educated by Lanmeng. It will neither push the cup on the table, nor destroy the potted plants at home, nor scratch it with its claws. The 'good cat' of the sofa.

While the cat, cat and beast's movements attracted Lan Meng's attention, they also unconsciously attracted the attention of several other people...

Chapter 38 Who doesn't like cute cats?

With the evolution from Snowball Beast to Maomaomon, Maomaomon not only further strengthened its thinking ability, but compared with the initial action that relied on instinct like a baby, the current Maomaomon should be similar to ordinary children in terms of thinking ability , but because there are fewer people in contact, it will appear a little younger.

But even so, it will follow the things agreed with Blue Dream.

For example, don't disturb Lan Meng at will when he is working, for example, don't show up in front of ordinary people, and for example, you must greet him in advance when you leave the restaurant...

Therefore, there are ordinary people in the store who are cats and beasts, and they will stay obediently in the small nest prepared by Lan Meng in the bar.

Because there is a bar to prevent ordinary people from sticking their heads in, it can be said that as long as Maomaowon doesn't take the initiative to expose itself, it is impossible to be discovered.

But for guests like Flying Squirrel, Yake, and Solal, who can tell at a glance that they are 'not ordinary people', Lan Meng encourages the other party to take the initiative to contact them.

Although Lan Meng himself is only in his 20s, his previous experience has made him very good at dealing with children. In his opinion, if the reason of race is removed, Mao Mao Beast is just an ordinary child. She will grow up one day. It's impossible to take care of it by yourself all the time, so he needs to teach it how to get along with strangers early on.

The customers in Lanmeng's store are guarded by Lanmeng anyway, as long as they are not ordinary people who are not suitable for exposure, it is not uncommon for other people to let cats and beasts get in touch.

It is precisely because of Lanmeng's thinking that Maomaowhou met many friends in just one month.

Whether it's the little fox that pretends to be stupid, Yae Kamiko, or Connor who almost stuffed it into his mouth as "Xue Mei Niang", or Arturia's master and apprentice, they all have a relationship with Maomaomon. The relationship is very good.

Compared with the "friends" I met before, if we only talk about the style of painting, Solal looks normal, but he also looks like a sloppy middle-aged man, let alone Yake and Momonga, who are seen by children in the middle of the night Up to [-]% can scare the other party too much to cry.

However, Mao Mao Beast was not an ordinary person since he was a child.

Adopted by Lanmeng since he was a child, the person who picked it up was Ogamon, a Digimon with 'true blue-faced fangs', and occasionally Lanmeng would ask his teacher to help take care of Maomaomon when he went to the star stronghold , and my teacher is also very heroic to introduce to the other party a group of brothers in the star stronghold and its "good friend (self-proclaimed)", a green bear beast that often appears around the stronghold.

This is a cat and a beast, even though it is a small one, but it is definitely brave enough. Not only were they not afraid when they saw Yake, but it was because of Lan Meng's words when she explained to her who she could show her face in front of—— ———

"A person who looks weird, wears weird clothes, and likes to talk about weird things is definitely not an ordinary person"

From its point of view, the three people in the store are all "people who dress strangely, look strangely, and talk strangely", and more importantly, under Lanmeng's raising, cats and beasts don't seem to be like that at all. Ordinary Digimon grow by accumulating 'data', but by absorbing positive emotional energy through the 'sacred plan', so it is very sensitive to positive emotional energy.

It felt the 'warmth' from Solar, and the 'joy' from Yake and Momonga.

In her eyes, none of the three belonged to 'dangerous persons'. If so, they were targets that could be contacted.

After making up his mind, Maomaowon showed its extraordinary mobility. It first poked out its small head from behind the bar counter and looked at Solal and the others.

It's just that Maomaomon didn't expect that it was discovered by Solal just as it started looking at the three of them.

Unlike Momonga and Yak who suddenly gained power and didn't even know how to use their power, Solal, who traveled to countless places as a sun knight and danced on the tip of the knife countless times, finally stomped the god of death under his feet, was sensitive to sight many.

And Solal's strange reaction naturally attracted the attention of Yake and Momonga.

Unlike Lan Meng, who spends most of his time in the star stronghold and the "alternative house" in the restaurant, although Solal doesn't know anything about "light novels" and "Strategy of Another World", he has traveled all over the world as a sun knight. In countless places, he is indeed a 'predecessor' in terms of adventure.

And Solal is also very aware of the differences between different worlds, so he didn't directly help the two design 'strategies' like Momonga, but just gave them some experience based on his own experience.

After all, as the only remaining believer of the Sun God of War, it is still unknown how many Sun God of War believers are left in the world before he takes the initiative to preach. ', this identity undoubtedly brought him countless troubles, but he never thought of taking off his breastplate with the Sun Wars flag painted on it...even if the flag on it was painted by himself What went up was not what the Sun God of War bestowed on him.

But he is indeed proud of being a 'Sun Knight'.

It can be said that as a pagan, he experienced no less hardships during his travels than the next two who started their adventures as aliens.
