How to eat pineapple buns on the immigration ship

Chapter 204 The Magical Uses of Lettuce

“You guys really like eating tomatoes.”

Kagawa muttered as he accepted the food from Nancy.

This tomato was added to the cafeteria menu on a temporary basis.

Manager Hill did gain something from the vegetable field visit in the morning. When he heard from Kagawa that vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce could be washed and eaten raw, Manager Hill immediately contacted the First Canteen and added these three types of washed and sliced ​​vegetables to the menu as after-meal digestive food.

After following Kagawa to taste tomatoes, the gluttons in Class 8 of Grade 1 naturally chose tomatoes as their first choice. It’s not that they were not curious about cucumbers and lettuce, but they were deeply impressed by the look on Kagawa’s face when he saw the raw cut cucumbers and lettuce while queuing for food, and then chose tomatoes without hesitation.

Some students who were eager to try ordered a little of all three. Most of the students, who had 90% trust in Kagawa's taste (the remaining 10% was due to their doubts about Kagawa's evaluation of pork), followed her and chose tomatoes.

The results were not surprising. Tomatoes received unanimous praise from high school students and employees of the second escort ship. Cucumbers were controversial. Some liked them very much, while others were used to the taste. Lettuce was generally rated poorly. Most people felt that this tasteless vegetable was boring.

Ino, who was also curious about the lettuce before, now looked at the lettuce in his bowl with an indescribable look on his face. After finishing one-third of it with a frown, he couldn't help but say to Kagawa:
"Can this lettuce really be eaten raw? I really don't see why it's delicious."

Squad leader Lu Daiqing and others who also chose lettuce nodded in agreement. They really didn't understand why ancient people included lettuce in the category of vegetables that could be eaten raw. Could it be that they were short of vegetables at that time and could only eat lettuce?
"In ancient times, few people would eat lettuce directly." Kagawa glanced at the lettuce in the small bowl in Ino's hand. "In ancient times, lettuce was used to make salads and to wrap meat."
-
salad?

Wrap it with meat and eat it?

As soon as the new terms and ways of eating popped up, the students around pricked up their ears. The students who were struggling painfully with lettuce immediately put down their chopsticks and planned to listen carefully to the correct way to eat lettuce.

"Salad is a kind of food that is made by mixing diced fruits and sliced ​​vegetables together and then pouring fruit vinegar or salad dressing on it. As for what kind of fruits to use, it all depends on personal preference, but vegetables basically cannot be without lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. Because it is low in calories, many people use it to lose weight, but because it lacks carbohydrates and protein, it can easily lead to hunger, so later some people added whole grains, boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, steak, fish fillet and other ingredients into it."

"As for wrapping meat, it is more common to wrap meat during barbecue. Lettuce is rich in water and has no peculiar smell. Ancient people believed that it was a good vegetable to relieve greasiness, so when grilling some fatty meat, they would put the roasted meat in lettuce leaves to eat. This can neutralize the greasy smell brought by the fat and the heavy barbecue seasoning, and enrich the taste. The most common one is to wrap pork belly. In some places, various foods are also wrapped in lettuce leaves. In some ancient areas, this way of eating is called vegetable wrapping."

His mouth felt a little dry after talking, so Kagawa sat up straight, picked up his water bottle and took a big gulp of juice to moisten his throat.

BBQ!

Thinking of the barbecue oven next to the Tongue Club building and the wonderful taste of the previous barbecue, everyone in Class 8 of Grade 1 couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their eyes became increasingly hot as they looked at Lettuce.

I didn't expect that this vegetable that they just disliked could be used! But then again, what is pork belly? Is it a new ancient meat processing product?
salad!

Manager Hill, who had been paying attention to the movements of Kagawa's table, sat up in shock, almost dying.

In the morning, after she informed the cafeteria to add tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce to the cafeteria menu, she was very happy about the popularity of tomatoes, but the consecutive negative reviews of the latter two, especially the lettuce, made her feel uneasy. She wondered if there was a difference in taste between ancient and modern people when it comes to raw vegetables. She was also thinking about whether she should ask Kagawa about some other cooking methods in the afternoon.

As a result, the salad that Kagawa just mentioned instantly made her feel excited.

The fruit production plan has been approved by the Agriculture Bureau, and their vegetable production department will be renamed the fruit and vegetable production department after the fruit is officially put on the market next year.

So, to round it off, fruits are also under their control.

Isn’t salad, a food mainly composed of vegetables and fruits, a recipe tailor-made for their vegetable production department?
When she thought about her department surpassing the other two departments to become the most outstanding one in producing escort ships, Chief Steward Hill could no longer sit still. She stood up suddenly and rushed over and shouted:

"Kagawa-san! That salad you were talking about! Let's talk about it!"

With a flash of shadow, Chief Steward Hill appeared in front of Kagawa's table, shocking Ino, who was competing with Lettuce across from Kagawa, so much that he forgot to close his mouth. At that speed just now, he could have participated in the foot sprint competition of the armed escort ship, right?
Is the current production of escort ships also so competitive?
At this moment, Manager Hill didn't care about so much. In order to prevent Xiangchuan from escaping, she grabbed Xiangchuan's shoulders with both hands, stared at her with blazing eyes, and said excitedly:
"Kagawa-san, don't be polite with me! Our vegetable crop production department can provide whatever you need. If you really need something, we can secretly rob the staple crop production department or the animal husbandry department..."

Manager Hill became more and more excited as he spoke, and even couldn't help but start shaking Kagawa's shoulders.

"Manager Hill, calm down. It's not that serious. Also, I just finished my meal. Please stop wandering..."

At this moment, Kagawa felt like a soft and boneless cabbage. He thought that it was a good thing that modern people did not use tillage, otherwise Mr. Hill would definitely have grown up rolling around in the fields with farm tools in his hand, and his hand strength would have been amazing.

Don't ask her why she knows. When I was a kid, my mother carried me on her shoulders and ate fried bamboo shoots and pork. It wasn't a good memory...

In the end, it was Ouyang Yating and Nancy who helped persuade Butler Hill, thus preventing Kagawa from becoming nauseous due to the shaking and causing vomiting in the first cafeteria.

As for salad dressing, aren’t there only a few types?

Mayonnaise, vinaigrette, Thousand Island dressing, and tahini.

When Kagawa was still a corporate slave, the female colleagues around him would go to a light meal shop to order salad takeout or go directly to the chain convenience store downstairs to buy salad cups when they had no appetite at noon. As for what kind of sauce to pair it with, there were all kinds of options.

At first, the most popular foods among people around me were mayonnaise and Thousand Island dressing. Later, when I heard that mayonnaise was high in fat and sesame seeds also contained a lot of oil, my colleagues who were anxious about their figure began to turn to vinegar.

However, according to Kagawa's observations in the tea room and at workstations, there are still many colleagues who say in person that they usually like to add vinegar, but secretly mix the other three sauces.

When it comes to eating, it is human nature to choose the one that tastes good.

After all, food is the most important thing for people.

Kagawa was standing at the door of the cafeteria kitchen, muttering to himself as he numbly endured the cleaning and disinfection.

Yes, she is here again.

Seeing this kitchen that had been used four times in two days, Kagawa even felt that he had followed the large group to produce the escort ship not for a visit, but to cook.

If Butler Hill, who was cleaning and disinfecting with her, and Butler Wu, who was craning his neck to watch outside the kitchen, heard this, they would nod in tacit understanding and say: Who said it wasn't!
-
In the kitchen before dinner time.

Everyone in Class 8 of Grade 1 and Steward Hill all blinked and looked at Kagawa. Kagawa couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw the crowd. He couldn't recognize them and asked:
"Hey monitor, I noticed that the students in our class seem to like going into the kitchen with me recently. Is this appropriate?"

"Hmm? Is there something wrong?" Class monitor Lu Daiqing was confused by Kagawa's sudden question, "Don't we often come to watch you guys cook in the kitchen of the small restaurant?"

Kagawa remained silent as he watched the students in Class 8 of Grade 1 skillfully tying their aprons.

Do you call this state of being ready to chop up the food served as a crowd watching? Is this how modern people understand "watching"? Then wouldn't the term "crowd of onlookers" mean "the crowd that rushes up and does a lot of work"?
Are you Chaoyang people?

Although she was thinking about it, Kagawa didn't say anything more. After all, she didn't mind having someone come to help.

The classic salad dressings are actually not difficult to make. In the 21st century, the ingredients for any kind of sauce can be bought from a vegetable market near any residential area for 20 yuan.

However, there must be ingredients that cannot be handled in modern times, and the only sauce Kagawa remembers is mayonnaise. If you ask her to make vinegar now, she can't make it~!
When he thought about the short videos showing the separation of water and oil in mayonnaise that he saw when he was slacking off during his working life, Kagawa felt that weight loss-related businesses in modern medical beauty services would definitely be very popular in the coming period.
