In the small apartment room, the steam lingers, and the faint sweet smell spreads in the air, mixed with the sweet aroma of butter and onions, and the umami hidden in the meat is not strong, but the tip of the tongue continues to secrete saliva unconsciously, and even the neck stretches a little.

Turning around, Hodden could see Nair's mouth unconsciously open because he was watching too pretentiously, keeping his eyes on the steamer and pan, trying to find some clues from Hoden's actions to see what kind of magic he was performing.

A smile appeared in Howlen's eyes.

When I came home from class today, I was lying on the bed lazy, knowing that there was still homework to be done, but I didn't want to move at all, and at a certain moment I began to doubt my life:

Did you come to Norsness to relive student life?

When I became an adult, I always dreamed that I could return to my carefree student days and remember those simple and happy days, but after I really "came back", I realized that I needed to face the torture of homework, and I suddenly turned into an ostrich posture - can this also be regarded as a good dragon of Ye Gong?

Then Nair went home from work.

Nair happily held a basket of river fish, full of anticipation and excitement, saying that today should celebrate the start of school for Holden and try something different.

Looking at the basket of fresh fish that could not distinguish the type and could not determine the taste, Hoden was also a little dumbfounded.

In fact, Holden was born in a southern water town in China, and has a preference for river fresh and seafood, such as frying, stir-frying, steaming and other cooking methods.

But the problem is that, firstly, Iwabuchi has not found ginger for the time being, and secondly, all the types of river fresh and seafood in Iwabuchi are unknown to Horden, and the most taboo thing about the processing of fresh food is ignorance of the ingredients, not to mention the fishy smell for the time being, and the seasoning may also be unsatisfactory. The taste is unsatisfying.

Not to mention the fresh seafood, even the other ingredients have not been studied, and Hoden has never had a chance to try it. As a result, Nair brought an unexpected surprise today.

"What?

Nair was a little disappointed-

The inhabitants of Iwabuchi understood that seafood and river fresh food were eaten by inferior people, because the smell was too strong and no one knew what to do with it, the nobles avoided it, and the common people did not like to touch it - to avoid getting fishy, and even the fishermen had a difficult life.

Of course, it's not that no one has tried it, for example, the cooking method of the whole fish covered in flour and then fried, or the method similar to the pan-frying method, and the pickled small fish like pickled cucumbers, there are still some bold attempts to find different kinds of fresh food.

But the effect was unsatisfactory, and it failed to become popular after all.

In the past few days, Horden has tried different cooking methods, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and raising at home, he can conjure up some tricks, which makes Nair full of confidence, and his eyes turn to swim in the water, looking forward to his younger brother being able to turn decay into magic, just like the ultimate test.

Noticing Nair's disappointed expression, Hodden sat up straight from the bed, "Yes, of course. ”

Then, Hoden got busy.

Even though there is no ginger to get fishy, there are other ways to try and remedy it.

Before slaughtering, the fresh is soaked in salt water to remove the fishy smell in small amounts, and then after slaughtering, it is further soaked in the tea diluted with strong tea for a second step to remove the fish.

Meanwhile, Hoden set out to prepare a simple roasted pumpkin soup to go with it.

In addition to the easy-to-understand ingredients such as cream, onions, garlic, carrots, etc., the most important thing is to bake the pumpkin over low heat before the soup is officially cooked, so that more starch can be saccharified, which can also make the finished product sweet and salty, and reveal a slightly spicy taste.

While the soup was boiling, Holden returned to the unknown fish.

Add a little whiskey and garlic and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes.

On the other hand, butter, pepper, garlic and balsamic vinegar are used in the pot to open the pot and fragrant, but it is not used to thicken, but to dip the sauce to taste-

Mainly because it is not possible to determine the taste and meat quality of the fish for the time being, and there is no chili pepper and starch at hand, it may be self-defeating to thicken it, so we have made different means and methods, hoping to ensure the deliciousness of the fish itself, taste it to see what kind of taste, and prepare for the next time, and can provide different options to increase the level and texture of the dish and avoid wasting food.

The sweetness in the steamer and the aroma in the pan are intertwined, making people appetize, curious about what kind of food can be cooked, and Nair is also eye-opening again, staring at everything in front of him in a daze-

In the past, Nair had never asked for any food and food, as long as he could fill his stomach, it was good food, but now that he had been improving his food for less than a week, he began to craving.

This...... It should be a kind of progress, right?

Nair noticed that Horden was looking at him, and he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and straightened his waist, "Just now...... A fly flew over. yes, it seems to be attracted to it as well, and then I don't know what's going on, so it ...... And flew out. Just flew out. ”

That explanation is simply not helpful.

But Holden didn't hold on to it, just smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not so sure, I suggest you can lower your expectations tonight." ”

Nair waved his hand nonchalantly, "We've eaten even the bark and dirt, so what's not to eat?"

This is no joke.

After speaking, Nair pursed his lips self-deprecatingly, "It seems that we are also nobles now, and we are actually starting to be picky when it comes to food." ”

It's a joke, but it's a little poignant.

"Knock knock. ”

There was a knock at the door, interrupting Holden's response, but he didn't pay much attention, "I guess the gentleman downstairs ran up to find fault again." "But I didn't seem to hear the sound of crutches just now.

Nair stood up and stepped forward to open the door.

Babble.

"I'm sorry, is this Helo's house?" asked at the door.

"Yes, I'm Nair Herlo. Nair volunteered, "Is there anything wrong?"

"I'm Issa Vestrom, Squadron Leader of the Eighth Precinct Homicide Squad, and I'm ...... Well...... I'm a friend of Holden, please forgive me for being abrupt, but I need his help now. ”

Nair was still standing at the door, not letting go easily, and said in a deep voice, "Can I see your ID?" ”

At this time, Hoden was also busy for the time being, and took the initiative to come over, and then you could see Issa's tired face, and there was still a little irritable between her eyebrows, which was difficult to hide, but she still kept her patience and took out her papers from her pocket.

"Nair, this is Squadron Leader Isa. Holden took the initiative to break the siege, "It's the one I told you about last time." Squadron Leader, we're getting ready for dinner, would you like to join us?"
