After thinking about it, Li Er decided to make Japanese hot pot. Tamura girls bring so many good ingredients, it would be a pity if they didn't take advantage of the freshness, and the hot pot is simple to make, and it also meets the taste of the people present. If you want to eat something clear or spicy, you can season it yourself.

I will always get tired of eating Chinese food, which reflects the benefits of Li Er's contract "The Spirit of the Halberd", after all, the king of medicine knows almost any country's dishes.

The biggest difference between Japanese and Chinese cuisine is that it focuses more on umami. The so-called umami is the fifth taste after the four tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, and it is also the taste that is discovered at the end. It was discovered in 1908 by a Japanese scientist.

Up to now, monosodium glutamate, a chemical that can increase the umami taste of food, has entered thousands of households in the form of monosodium glutamate. However, if a chef seasons it with MSG, it only proves that he is not a real master. It's like playing LOL with an assistant and hitting Hearthstone with a card counter, no matter how high the ranking is, it's still far from a real master.

So what do chefs generally use to enhance freshness?

The answer is dashi.

The essence of the umami-rich ingredients in nature is boiled and combined into a wonderful umami flavor that serves as the finishing touch to the preparation of the dish, which is the role of dashi.

Among the natural ingredients, seafood is the most abundant in monosodium glutamate. Commonly used ingredients such as kelp, fish, shrimp and crab, clams, etc., are all good ingredients for making broth.

The kind of wood (bonito) that Tamura brought with me that looks like wood and feels like wood is one of the ingredients that can be used to make dashi, and it is also one of the basic ingredients used by Japanese people to make miso soup.

Cut the bonito fillets like wood chips on the bonito with a shaver, cook them in a sieve, and strain them to get a bowl of the simplest dashi.

Li Er definitely wouldn't use such a simple method to make the soup base of the hot pot, he used the unique secret he inherited from the Medicine King.

It was also Li Er who knew nothing about the culinary world at home and abroad. Anyone who has been in contact with the culinary world will understand how useful a recipe can be for a chef. Some century-old stores rely on a secret recipe to ensure that their heirs have no worries about food and clothing for hundreds of years, while modern companies such as Coca-Cola and other companies rely on unique formulas to make tens of billions of dollars a day......

Of course, if he really understands the profits in this, this book can also be directly renamed "Reborn Catering Empire".

As time gets closer to the meal, the kitchen continues to overflow with a rich and unique fragrance, and even the thick glass doors cannot stop the fragrance particles from spreading in the air.

Tamura, who was sitting in the room, was the first to be affected, she carried so many things in the morning, and even after breakfast, she was digested. Although Gu Yan felt that he was not hungry, he couldn't help but start to get distracted when he smelled such a fragrance.

Illya put down the pen very simply: "Okay, let's draw here first, let's eat first." ”

"Hooray!" Tamura jumped immediately.

Li Er had already set up an induction cooker on the small dining table, and the pot on the induction cooker was neatly stacked with fat cows, lettuce, tofu, winter bamboo shoots, radish, and straw mushrooms with cross-cut knives on the umbrella lid. The crystal clear soup has a little oil splashing on top, which makes people move their fingers at the sight.

I have to say that the advantage of being a comic editor is that you are more sensitive to color matching. At least this sukiyaki hot pot is absolutely top-notch in terms of color and flavor.

"IT'S SUKIYAKI!" I like Sukiyaki the most!" Tamura was so excited that his Japanese ran out.

"Eat whatever you want, there are still some dishes here, and there are still some dishes after eating." Li Er pointed to the cut materials on the side and said, Gu Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Enough is enough, I can't eat so much." ”

"Hmph, hot pot, it's very convenient. Are you going to be so perfunctory to me?" said Illya, with a slight frost on her face.

"Ah......" Illya said this, and Lear's cold sweat broke out. He only thinks about taking care of everyone's tastes, and by the way, he makes use of the ingredients at hand. If you ever thought about making hot pot to apologize, it seems a little too insincere. After all, in the minds of many Chinese people, hot pot is always cheap and synonymous with civilians.

Fortunately, Illya didn't continue to let Lear have embarrassing cancer there, and she spoke again: "Not this time, you have to cook a meal for me." ”

"Okay, no problem. Li Er let out a long sigh and patted his chest.

Tamura holds a piece of straw mushroom in front of his mouth to blow cold, and cat-like glasses swim between the two.

The atmosphere between Teacher Illya and Teacher Li Er is a bit strange, then again, why does Teacher Illya have to cook with Teacher Li Er......

Thinking so, Tamura took a bite of the straw mushroom on the chopsticks, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

"Hmm......"

"Hoo ......"

"Ha ......"

The three of them made strange noises almost at the same time, and their faces flushed with a subtle flush. Even though the ingredients are all different, the taste of the ingredients themselves is enhanced by the umami contained in the soup, as if it were ......

When he opened his eyes again, Tamura found that he was actually wearing shabby leather armor, carrying a shield with the shape of a straw mushroom in his hand, and the sword he held in his other hand was actually made of dried tofu.

"Alright, let's go. Illya, dressed in the iconic RPG mage outfit, with a pointed hat and robe, nodded expressionlessly.

"Wait a minute, hey, why are you always a mage, and that staff is a bonito!"

"Don't worry about the details. We need to hurry up, this world is waiting for us to save!" said Gu Yan, dressed in a priest's robe.

"You guys are talking lightly, why are you all dressed as women, and I am dressed like a boy, and I have a cross scar on my face!"

“…… This is the difference in appearance. Illya spat out the truth again.

Tamura received 999 points of true damage, and Tamura can't get up again!

Gu Yan performed a resurrection spell on Tamura.

Tamura is resurrected!

Out of the town, in the middle of the wilderness, Tamura couldn't help but ask, "What kind of monster are we going to deal with......?"

"I don't know. Illya remained expressionless.

"It's brazen to say it!"

"I don't know what kind of monster it is, but I've heard that many innocent girls have been killed by it. Gu Yan played her role as a priest very well, and said compassionately.

"All killed?" Tamura's expression couldn't help but sneer.

"Nope. Their bodies were intact, except for bruises on their wrists and ankles. When asked what the monster had done to them, they just blushed and didn't reply. ”

…… There's always a premonition that I want to complain, but my initial positioning wasn't a complaining role!

When Tamura complained fiercely in his heart, at this moment, a long black shadow suddenly appeared from the ground! By the time the three brave men reacted, it was too late, and they had already been entangled in some parts of the monster.

And the thing had a strange yellowish brown color, and its body was bottomless. The part it used to bind the girls was filled with a strong, pungent fishy smell. And its touch, as if it has just been fished out of a wet place, has a strange slippery feeling.

"This ...... This is!" Tamura's eyes widened, and although she was bound by the strange yellow-green plant, she didn't panic at all, she just pronounced the name out loud: "?!! Kombu"

"What is Kombu......?"

At some point, Tamura had returned to the dinner table. Sukiyaki's pot was still bubbling, as if the qiē just now was just her hallucination.

The question was asked by Illya. Her face was still unnaturally flushed, and her eyes were a little moist, looking like they were being smoked by the steam of the hot pot.

"Kombu is a cousin of kombu, a common ingredient used in miso soup in Japan. Is this wonderful umami in this soup kombu?"

"Yes. Most of this soup base is made with the ingredients you brought, but I've done some processing, and it's amazing that you can eat it!"

"I never thought that kelp could present such a high-grade umami taste...... Well, no, I'll have to eat some more. Is this really kombu?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, whether it's soup base or vegetables!"

On the table, whether it was Illya, who had a lot of complaints about the hot pot just now, or Gu Yan, who was on a diet, they didn't care about the image of a lady, and threw off their cheeks and ate it.

But girls, no matter how much they don't care about their image, they are still much more Sven than boys.

Soon, a pot full of vegetables was killed by three people. However, the amount that Li Er made was a bit much, and the three of them only killed one amount after eating, and the extra amount was eaten by Li Er alone.

The three girls watched Li Er eat almost dumbfounded. Small dishes, one bite, two big ones at most, a pot of sukiyaki that the three of them finished eating, Li Er killed it alone, and the rest of the soup base, he also got it into the rice, sprinkled some chives, and made soup and rice.

Teacher Li Er...... Are you full?" Tamura said cautiously. She had only eaten a third of it, and she was already overwhelmed.

"Barely six or seven points full. Li Er used his thumb to pluck the rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth and put them in his mouth. This is not lying, both before and now, he eats a lot of food, but he is not fat. In the words of the roommates, it's a "black hole stomach".

Now he didn't even know where that energy was expending.

"It's the first time I've seen a character similar to the Big Stomach King in reality, really, Mr. Li Er, you can go to the Big Stomach King Competition!" Tamura said adoringly with his hands clasped to his chest.

"What's good to eat more, a rice bucket. Illya snorted disdainfully, "Take a break and get back to work at two o'clock." ”

"Okay, teacher. ”

"Understood. ”

Illya turned around and entered the room, Tamura hurriedly walked to the dining table and helped Li Er pick up the dishes and chopsticks: "Teacher Li Er, I'll help you." You're so good at cooking, have you ever learned?"

"No, self-taught. ”

"Really, it's amazing. Your Japanese cuisine is even more authentic than many Japanese chefs!"

Of course, if the Japanese cuisine is not authentic, then he should not mix it up. Although he thought so in his heart, Li Er still said modestly: "There is no matter." ”

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone put away the simple dining table, turned on the TV and prepared to watch some relaxing programs to relax.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened it, it was a report about the murder in which Li Er was involved......
