My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 250 Meat Bun

Tempted by delicious food, Xie Zixin's stomach successfully ushered in a second spring, and once again filled a large amount of delicious food.

She didn't even let go of the last stir-fried cabbage.

The refreshing and sweet taste of stir-fried cabbage is the perfect finishing touch.

Can soothe the strong stimulation caused by spicy.

In the end, there is only a strong sense of satisfaction filled with delicious food.

Looking at the last little dish left in the bowl, Liu Minghui persuaded:
"Zixin, would you like some more?"

"After eating it all, I don't have to deal with the leftovers."

"Hi~" Xie Zixin answered Liu Minghui's words with a long and full hiccup, "Brother Minghui."

"I really can't take any more."

"I felt like I was so full that I didn't even have the strength to move."

"Hiccup~"

Liu Minghui said with some regret: "That's the case, that's really a pity."

"Then leave it to Rhubarb, it will definitely not dislike it."

These leftover dishes ended up being rhubarb for dessert.

Although it had eaten enough dishes during the main meal.

But that didn't seem to be its limit. Facing Liu Minghui's refeeding, it happily ate everything up.

Now that dinner has been finished, Liu Minghui started to clean up the mess.

Xie Zixin wanted to help, but she was too full to eat.

He could only lie on the sofa helplessly, urging the food in his stomach to digest quickly.

When Liu Minghui came out of the kitchen again, the whole apartment had returned to its original clean and tidy appearance.

He asked Xie Zixin with some curiosity: "Zixin, where is your luggage?"

"Could it be that you brought such a small backpack when you came to Sakura Country?"

Oops.

Careless.

Such an obvious flaw was actually left behind.

It is impossible for Xie Yuesheng's heart and soul to leave his hometown without luggage.

In fact, there were so many large and small bags that they filled the hotel where Xie Zixin was staying.

Yes, she actually booked a hotel.

After all, it was impossible for her to report to the company with these big and small bags.

While Xie Zixin's eyes kept wandering, thinking about some excuse to send Liu Minghui away, the doorbell rang.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui hurried to open the door.

Not long after, a well-mannered middle-aged man came in.

A middle-aged man named Kunio Kamei is Liu Minghui’s landlord.

The owner of this whole apartment.

A veritable charterer.

Liu Minghui said gratefully: "Mr. Kamei, thank you very much for your willingness to do me this favor."

"And take time out of your busy schedule to come to my place."

Kamei Kunio waved his hand and said, "It is my honor to be able to help Mr. Liu."

"Shall we go to see the house now?"

Viewing?

Xie Zixin was a little confused, what room to see?

Liu Minghui explained: "Zixin, what you said makes sense, and I've given it serious consideration."

"It's just that my house is really not suitable for you to live in."

"The room next door just happened to be vacant and is being rented out."

"I'll discuss it with the landlord, and if you think it's appropriate, you can temporarily live next door to me."

Of course, it is impossible for the landlord to let Xie Zixin go whoring for nothing, after all, this is the country of cherry blossoms.

Prices for free sex may be more expensive.

The reason why he didn't mention it was that Liu Minghui planned to help Xie Zixin pay the rent by himself.

The left and right are just a little rent, and he can still afford it.

Xie Zixin's eyes lit up.

Just when she was thinking about how to have her cake and eat it too, the answer came to her.

Yes.

As long as he lives next door to brother Minghui, it will be safe and not embarrassing.

The most important thing is that I can come over to eat at any time and enjoy some heavenly treatment.

The only downside is that it is a little far away from my company, and commuting to and from get off work is really inconvenient.

But when she thought of the luxurious and delicious dinner she had tonight, Xie Zixin felt that this was not a difficulty at all.

You can totally overcome it yourself!

This is simply fantastic.

If it wasn't for fear of being presumptuous, Xie Zixin would have agreed to come down without even looking at the room.

The next thing is simple.

The two followed Kamei Kunio to see the apartment next door.

Without hesitation, Xie Zixin agreed.

In addition, the apartment next door is indeed very good, Liu Minghui did not doubt Xie Zixin's purpose for a while.

The two of them finalized the matter with Kamei Kunio.

So far, Xie Zixin has lived next door to Liu Minghui.

But after getting the key, Liu Minghui continued the topic just now.

He asked, "Zixin, where's your luggage?"

After a long period of buffering, Xie Zixin also had an excuse and explained:

"I thought the luggage was too heavy, so I checked it in."

"It will probably arrive tomorrow. Just call home delivery service and have it delivered to your home."

"So that's the case." Liu Minghui nodded and said, "It's just that the far water can't quench the near thirst."

"tonight……"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Minghui said, "It's really not worth buying a set of bedding just for one night."

"You're afraid of staying in a hotel."

"Well, if you don't mind, I can lend you a set."

"Just one thing, I have used these quilts..."

"Of course, I must have washed it clean, and there will be absolutely no strange smell."

Looking at Liu Minghui who hurriedly explained, Xie Zixin suddenly felt that the big boy in front of him was very cute.

There is an inexplicable urge to kiss.

Immediately smiled sweetly and said, "I don't mind, how could I mind brother Minghui?"

"Thank you very much Brother Minghui for your help."

"Let me leave my hometown and come to the country of cherry blossoms to still feel a little warmth."

Just like when we were young, we used to look like childhood sweethearts.

Seeing that Xie Zixin agreed, Liu Minghui heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if you don't mind."

"Then let me lay out the quilt for you."

"After a day of hard work, you should rest early."

Seeing Liu Minghui's concerned face, Xie Zixin didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously.

After another half an hour, Liu Minghui, who helped Xie Zixin spread the quilt, breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally solved the matter of my childhood sweetheart.

Back in his room, he felt a little sleepy too.

After thinking about it, he sent a text message to Indoor Photon and asked her what she was doing.

Almost a second later, the photon in the room replied: I am going to sleep.

go to bed?

Exactly what I want.

Liu Minghui yawned and replied: I am also going to sleep.

Good night, let's go to bed early.

After waiting for a while, Liu Minghui received a text message from Indoor Photon: Good night.

Then he closed the phone with satisfaction, turned over, and fell asleep quickly.
-
Liu Minghui slept comfortably, but he didn't know that two women couldn't sleep because of him.

In fact the indoor photon has been in a trance all day today.

She is not a love brain.

After the impulsive period of love passed, she began to think about herself and Liu Minghui.

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't even think about how she was worthy of Liu Minghui.

In itself, I am just an ordinary cashier.

However, Liu Minghui owns Longli Izakaya, a very powerful big boss.

Not only that, Liu Minghui is a master chef with outstanding cooking skills.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the identities of the two are worlds apart.

On family?
Although Liu Minghui's family conditions are average, they are better than his own.

And because of Liu Minghui's existence, the future is limitless.

Looking back at my own family, I can only say that it is hard to say.

Thinking of this, the photon in the room turned pale.

Chinese people are most particular about being well-matched.

The difference between myself and Minghui is too much.

Will it be the same as in the novel?

After Liu's father and Liu mother knew about their situation, they immediately changed their faces and cruelly separated themselves and Minghui, the fateful mandarin ducks.

In the end, they can only turn into a pair of dancing butterflies, staying together in another supernatural way.

but……

Under the cranky thinking, it was not until midnight that Photon fell asleep in the room.

Seeing her frowning, she even had a nightmare.
-
Also not asleep was Xie Zixin.

Wrapping herself in a warm quilt, she thought she would be able to fall asleep quickly, but found that was not the case.

This is my quilt.

Liu Minghui's words echoed in Xie Zixin's ears, making her face turn red.

I slept in brother Minghui's quilt. Rounding it off, wasn't he indirectly sleeping in the same quilt as brother Minghui?
Take a deep breath.

Xie Zixin could only smell the scent of washing powder.

What Liu Minghui said was right, he was indeed washed very clean, and he didn't smell any strange smell.

But Xie Zixin always felt that there was a lingering smell that made her whole body feel hot and unable to fall asleep.

……

Liu Minghui got up very early.

But Indoor Photon’s text message was sent earlier:
Minghui, can I come out tomorrow? I have something important to discuss with you.

I looked at the time when I received the text message, it was three o'clock in the morning.

Liu Minghui was a little amused, and the indoor photon really couldn't wait to meet him.

He actually sent a message to himself in the middle of the night.

It's a pity that I was already asleep at that time, and I didn't hear the text message notification tone at all.

Thinking of this, he stretched himself and replied quickly:

can.

Photon invites me, so I am naturally free.

the other side.

Indoor Photon, who had finally fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of a text message.

When he turned on his phone, he saw a message from Liu Minghui.

After thinking about it, she replied:
Then at 08:30 in the morning, we will meet at the entrance of Central Park.

He looked at the clock in the room.

Six thirty.

It was still early, enough time to prepare a decent breakfast.

Liu Minghui thought for a while and decided to bring breakfast over to eat together.

Replied: See you soon.

I'll bring breakfast over then, and we'll have it together.

We could even have a picnic together if time permits.

Today is the weekend, and there are a lot of people taking their families to the park for a picnic.

It wouldn't be weird to bring breakfast there.

You can even prepare a little more food and come directly to a picnic with fresh noodles.

Seeing the text message from Liu Minghui, Photon in the room hesitated a little.

Liu Minghui is still as good as ever.

just maybe later...

Thinking of this, she replied:
It is enough to bring a breakfast, no more is necessary.

Even how long the two will be together is unknown.

Liu Minghui didn't know that the photon in the room had made up so many things in his brain, otherwise he would have laughed at her whimsical ideas.

No matter what age, there are people who dislike the poor and love the rich.

But obviously not.

But at this time, he was immersed in the fun of making breakfast, so he didn't think much about it at all.

After thinking about it, Liu Minghui decided to make big meat buns.

This delicacy that Mitsuko indoors once mentioned was just right for the scene in front of me.

When I think of those big, fat buns.

Nice folds.

Intense scallion flavor.

Rich gravy.

Filling and filling.

The vocabulary these few times came to Liu Minghui's mind.

Low-key and luxurious, simple but extraordinary.

Unlike small soup dumplings, large meat dumplings can bring unparalleled satisfaction.

This satisfaction is unmatched by any other cuisine.

Due to the limited time, in order to meet as soon as possible, Liu Minghui invited his own trick - old noodles.

Laomian refers to the noodle seeds for leavening. In the north, it is called Mianfei, Mianyinzi, Yeastzi, and in some places it is called Miantou.

It means that there is a small ball of dough left when steaming steamed buns. Since there are a lot of yeast in it, it will be used as a strain for the next dough fermentation.

This kind of steamed bun made from the last fermented noodles is called Laomian steamed bun.

The buns are called old buns.

The yeast in the old noodles has been carefully cultivated and has a higher activity.

While being able to shorten the fermentation time.

The resulting pasta will also be more fluffy and porous, with a great taste.

At the same time, because old noodles are often mixed with lactobacilli with similar growth conditions during the preservation process.

It will make the fermented pasta have a unique flavor.

The fact that old noodles are so easy to use also corresponds to the difficulty of cultivating them.

If you are not careful, it will be overgrown with bacteria and completely abolished.

And it also needs the flour that has been devoted to it as the nutrition of the yeast.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is better to directly use yeast water for fermentation.

Since he has made a lot of pasta recently, Liu Minghui also has the idea of ​​cultivating old noodles.

Usually take good care of.

This time when I went home, I chose a tricky method, sealed it and put it in the cold snow area of ​​​​the refrigerator for storage.

Gently sniffing, the unique aroma of yeast hits the face.

There is also a little sour taste, which is not obvious, and it is a metabolite of yeast.

Liu Minghui heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that his old noodle was not damaged by a trip home, but he could use it directly.

Warm water and noodles.

Then add the old noodles, knead into a smooth dough, and put it in a warm environment for fermentation.

Next is the stuffing.

There are thousands of meats, but pork is the best.

After a little hesitation, Liu Minghui decided to go out.

Although the pork in the refrigerator can also be used, it obviously does not meet Liu Minghui's inner standards.

Pork stuffing just needs to be rich in gravy.

No matter how well it is stored, some of the moisture in the pork will evaporate.

Therefore, the freshest pork is the most suitable for making meat stuffing.

Not long after, Liu Minghui ran back with two pieces of foreleg meat.

This is the best part of the pig for meat stuffing.

The meat in this part is not as active as the hind legs, so it is fat and thin, fine, firm and elastic.

It just contains a lot of fascia and needs to be handled with care.

Carefully remove the fascia in the front leg meat, and chop finely and evenly.

until the pork is minced into a fine paste.

At this time, add the onion and ginger water in small amounts and multiple times, and stir the pork filling continuously in one direction.

Under the action of centrifugal force, the pork begins to absorb the onion and ginger water, and gradually becomes firmer.

If the technique is not enough, you can choose to add egg white as an auxiliary, which can save a lot of effort.

Finally, add a large amount of green onions, briefly season and stir evenly, and the green onion and pork filling is completed.

With the help of the old noodles, the dough has fermented to the most suitable level at this time.

With a light pinch, a ball of dough of the right size is grabbed.

No need for rolling pin assistance.

With both hands working together and kneading quickly, the dough turned into a round bun skin under Liu Minghui's hands.

Wrap in an appropriate amount of fillings, and then use a pleat technique to close the mouth. A good-looking and delicious big meat bun is completed.

Although it is called a big meat bun, the bigger the better.

It is necessary to master the perfect ratio of bun skin and filling so that it will not be too dry or too greasy when eating.

Just right is the essence of food.

After repeating this several times, a lot of big meat buns appeared in front of Liu Minghui.

Neatly stacked together, it's really beautiful.

It just so happened that the steamer had already been used for the last time, and Liu Minghui laid them out neatly in three layers, and it was considered complete.

Then just wait for steaming.

After calculating the indoor temperature and humidity, thirteen and a half minutes is the most suitable time.

An alarm clock was set, and during this time Liu Minghui planned to go back to sleep.

The day's plan lies in the morning, and sleeping is the most suitable activity in the morning.

Jingle Bell……

As the alarm clock rang, Liu Minghui came to the kitchen again.

As soon as I opened the kitchen door, I could smell a very pleasant fragrance of flour.

Not only that, but there is also a lingering rich meaty aroma.

Mixed with scallions, it is mouth-watering.

Turn off the fire.

Rhubarb's "barking" sounded from Liu Minghui's feet.

I don't know when this big foodie woke up when he smelled the aroma.

No longer sleeping, sneaked into the kitchen.

At this time, he was wagging his tail and looking at the huge steamer eagerly.

It's until there's good stuff sealed in there.

It's just that it is destined not to enjoy such delicious food right away.

Since it was breakfast with Indoor Photon, it was naturally impossible for Liu Minghui to eat it first.

Rhubarb can only be looked at dryly.

After thinking about it, Liu Minghui took out two big meat buns, put them on a plate, and walked out of his apartment.

dong dong dong.

Liu Minghui knocked on the door of the apartment next door.

Since he was going to make breakfast, he naturally made it for Xie Zixin.

Time goes back to 5 minutes ago.

Xie Zixin who was sleeping on the bed hugging the quilt suddenly smelled a very pleasant fragrance.

Every space in Sakura Country is extremely precious.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the smell of food from the neighbors to escape to your own home.

Fortunately, people in Sakura Country usually cook light home-cooked dishes, so there won’t be any worries about flavor contamination.

It's just that Liu Minghui is obviously different.

Various dishes with intoxicating aromas were prepared.

The scent floated everywhere, making the neighbors cry.

Even the reason why his neighbor moved away was largely due to Liu Minghui.

He really couldn't stand this kind of hell life where he could smell and eat every day.

As Xie Zixin's nose twitched rapidly, the scent of the big meat buns was inhaled into her nasal cavity, making her have a sweet dream.

In the dream, she returned to her childhood.

The most coveted thing at that time was the meat buns sold at street bun shops.

Sometimes I even get up late on purpose just to skip breakfast at home.

I cheated two yuan, bought four meat buns, and had a delicious meal.

Unfortunately, Xie Zixin's family conditions do not allow her to behave like this.

So many times, Xie Yuesheng would not spoil her.

Not only did he not eat the meat buns he wanted, but he even became hungry because he missed breakfast.

Cuckoo.

Xie Zixin's stomach growled.

He glanced at the steamed stuffed bun shop reluctantly, today was another day of deceitful failure.

It seems that I can only go hungry.

At this moment, a pleasant voice came from Xie Zixin's ear, saying:

"Zi Xin, do you want to eat steamed buns?"

"I bought a little more, two more, for you to eat!"

Turning around, he saw the soft and cute Xiao Minghui standing aside, handing over a plastic bag.

Inside were two meat buns that made Xie Zixin salivate.

For nothing.

Savory.

It makes people want to bite down.

Saliva splashed out.

Xie Zixin suppressed her hunger, smiled sweetly, and said to Xiao Minghui, "Thank you, brother Minghui."

"I've had breakfast, I'm not hungry."

Although I really wanted to eat it, it was Liu Minghui's breakfast, how could Xie Zixin want it.

Little Liu Minghui had a big stubbornness on his face.

Taking advantage of Xie Zixin's stunned effort, he stuffed two buns into her hands, and strode towards the school.

In an instant, there was no shadow.

Xie Zixin had no choice but to be forced to accept the meat buns presented by Liu Minghui.

In addition to being moved.

Xie Zixin picked up the meat bun and took a big bite.

This was brother Minghui's kindness, and he could only accept it.

When I grow up, I must marry brother Minghui as his bride.

Only he can be so kind to himself.

Pain Pain Pain Pain.

Then Xie Zixin woke up from the pain.

The meat buns in the dream turned into her white and tender hands.

Bite down, and suddenly woke up from the pain.

There is also a row of shallow impressions on the hand.

It was a dream.

Xie Zixin felt disappointed.

Although elder brother Minghui was still kind to him, it seemed that he no longer belonged to him.

He will no longer be the shy little boy who gives himself two meat buns.

Xie Zixin sighed, and was about to continue sleeping.

It is a rare weekend, there is really no need to waste time moaning about nothing.

But he found that a strong fragrance unique to meat buns was drilling into his nose.

It turned out that this was the culprit of why he had such a dream.

The light fragrance of flour matches the rich fragrance of pork and green onions.

Crazy attack on Xie Zixin's nasal cavity.

Xie Zixin couldn't help being intoxicated by this most classic combination.

I don't know which villain released the poison early in the morning, and the smell wafted into my home.

I really want to eat meat buns.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Zixin buried her head in the quilt.

This is the country of cherry blossoms. If you want to eat meat buns, you can’t buy them.

It's better to sleep in peace of mind and hide under the quilt.

This feeling of wanting to eat but not being able to eat and being tempted all the time is really too bad.

At this moment, Xie Zixin heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

The sound was crisp but not loud.

It seemed that the person who knocked on the door was careful and didn't want to disturb the people in the room.

It's Brother Minghui!
After all, I only have one acquaintance here, Liu Minghui.

Xie Zixin jumped up immediately, and hurried over to open the door.

She really wanted to know what Liu Minghui could do with her early in the morning.
