Chapter 12 is even stranger
"By the way, Ito-san, what do you like to eat?"
Lin Qingshan held Pochita in his arms, looked at Ayumi Ito, and said carelessly.
There are three of them and a dog at the moment. One seems to be a casual young man at home, one is an elite OL working in the workplace, and the other is a young and beautiful college student. This combination is walking on the shopping street in the center of Shanghai.
They do... people from three worlds.
"Me? As for me, I want to eat sukiyaki..."
In fact, Ayumi Ito could have said it politely if she wanted to, but for some reason, the image of sukiyaki suddenly appeared in her mind at this moment, and her mouth was about to drool, and she said it unconsciously.
"Sukiyaki?"
Gu Qianli said curiously.
In this world, because Japan has become a region, culture has become a niche culture. It is not as scary as the cultural invasion of Japan in the previous life, who is familiar with Japanese culture through Japanese comics, Lin Qingshan immediately explained: "Qianli, you can think of it as a kind of hot pot.", but the taste is very mild, the bottom of the pan is only Japanese light soy sauce.
"But the taste is closer to ours, a little sweeter."
Gu Qianli suddenly realized, " I understand, but it seems that we don't have the so-called Sukiyaki pot here ..."
"Yes, no..."
Ayumi Ito has been coming to Shanghai for some time, so she can be sure that there really are no Japanese restaurants in Shanghai.
Don't even think about sukiyaki.
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"That's all. We can do it ourselves."
Lin Qingshan suddenly patted his chest and said.
"Do it yourself?"
Ayumi Ito and Gu Qianli said curiously in unison.
"Professor Qingshan... me... I don't know how to make sukiyaki either..."
Ayumi Ito said a little embarrassed at this point.
"You can't, I can."
Lin Qingshan blinked and said.
"Qingshan... do you know how to make a sukiyaki pan?"
Gu Qianli looked at Lin Qingshan in doubt.
Lin Qingshan patted his chest again and showed a strong smile, "don't worry, I can cook by myself and I am proficient in cooking from various countries... UM, from various regions!"
In his previous life, he rented a house on his own. Since he lived alone, how could he not cook alone?
Even if you don't know how to cook at first, when you live alone and watch various food videos on the Internet, how not to be tempted to try it yourself?
Lin Qingshan was like that in his previous life, a man of action who did what he said.
He has experimented and cooked Thai flavors, Japanese cuisine, Brazilian barbecue, Spanish seafood rice, Korean army hot pot, Cantonese roast chicken, Peking roast duck, etc.
As long as it's a more popular dish, he's done it.
Sukiyaki should not be too simple. The ingredients and methods are average.
"I didn't expect... Professor Qingshan to be so powerful..."
Ayumi Ito exclaimed with little stars in her eyes.
"Hehe... as long as we find a self-service Steakhouse first, we can buy a bottle of sweet soy sauce. It may not taste the same as sukiyaki, but we can use other ingredients to extract the flavor and freshness."
Lin Qingshan laughed and said.
Ayumi Ito suddenly thought of something at this time, shrugged her head, and said, " Professor Qingshan... you don't need to ask Miss Li. Qianli what do you think?"
Lin Qingshan said, " you don't have to worry about it. Qianli prefers vegetable salads, and her favorite drink is orange-flavored soda."
Gu Qianli was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Qingshan and asked, "Qingshan, how do you know my taste ..."
"After eating so many meals of yours, I must pay attention to your hobbies. Dogs should also pay attention to the hobbies of their owners, right?"
"Right?"
Lin Qingshan asked Pochita in his arms.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Pochta responded cheerfully, wagging his tail.
"Wow, au!"
Lin Qingshan raised his head, shouted twice to Gu Qianli, and said: "Pochita told me, Qingshan is like that!"
Gu Qianli and Ayumi Ito looked at Lin Qingshan with strange expressions.
Especially Gu Qianli... Why Lin Qingshan really seems to consider herself a dog she raised...
…
Arriving at a barbecue buffet in the city center, Lin Qingshan spent 500 yuan per person, 1,500 yuan in total, and offered a meal to Gu Qianli and Ayumi Ito without feeling any anguish.
He really didn't feel bad.
After all, his monthly royalties are 6,000 yuan, and he feels that as a time traveler and system host, he will definitely earn more than this amount of money in the future.
In this case, why should you worry about this little money?
And there's a reason it's expensive... No, this is Shanghai, there is no reason for things to be expensive!
But before entering the steakhouse, he went to the mall next door and bought a bottle of "sweet soy sauce".
In fact, it is steamed fish with soy sauce.
Then he hid the steamed fish with soy sauce in his arms and, with Pochita's cooperation, took the steamed fish with soy sauce to the steakhouse.
Damn it! He spent 1,500 yuan and couldn't bring any other food, but Lin Qingshan still felt a little better about the barbecue worth 1,500 yuan.
"Okay, okay, watch me perform!"
Lin Qingshan took the ingredients and started heating the stone pan that was supposed to be a small hot pot, then put the fat meat in it and fried it until fragrant.
Then pour the soy sauce hidden in the steamed fish and add a little water.
Then came the other ingredients, including scallions, onions, tofu, grated konjac, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, Chrysanthemum, baby kale, and other vegetarian dishes.
Then came the other fresh meat and finally covered it with sugar, chopped green onions and vinegar.
This inauthentic "Sukiyaki" is ready.
"By the way, there is also this, sterile raw eggs!"
Lin Qingshan broke an egg into a bowl and handed it to Ayumi Ito.
Although Japanese culture is not very popular, for some reason sterile eggs are still produced in Shanghai.
Maybe it's because of... food safety concerns?
It's weird anyway.
Ayumi Ito looked at the unknown sukiyaki in front of her, but she could still see some vague shadows, and suddenly missed her hometown.
This is probably the so-called homesickness felt by Wanderers who work outside the home.
She immediately took a piece of meat with her chopsticks, stirred the raw eggs a couple of times, and then put it in her mouth...
"Good... delicious..."
Ayumi Ito suddenly began to cry.
Although the taste is not exactly the same as the sukiyaki that my mother made in my memory, it is really delicious...
"If it's delicious, eat more!"
Lin Qingshan waved his hand and said, " by the way, there is also qianli fruit and vegetable salad. I especially chose a lot of lettuce and fairy fruit. so I opened it in advance."
"…"
Gu Qianli shook his head. Although it was good that Lin Qingshan was so considerate, but combined with what Lin Qingshan said on the road just now, how could she feel...
Even stranger.
