I will never give in to Miss Death

Just as the comment said, there are many kinds of local rice dumplings in Kamihama City. There are pure vegetarian rice dumplings with only mung beans in them, five-spice meat rice dumplings with a mixture of fat and lean meat, meat-flavored rice dumplings filled with lean meat, and the "cold rice dumplings" with nothing in them and in a long strip shape.

In addition to the difference in fillings, the zongzi themselves can also be divided by shape. There are small triangular zongzi that an ordinary uncle can swallow in one bite, there are strip zongzi the size of a TV remote control, there are particularly large meat zongzi, and there are also super-large pork zongzi that are specially used to make "family portrait" sets.

Coincidentally, I can make all of these dumplings.

When I was a child in an orphanage, although everyone was poor, they would never cut corners when making zongzi during holidays. Every bite was full of meaty aroma. In recent years, the zongzi shops around me have learned their lesson. Since you can't see what's inside, they either add a small piece of meat to the zongzi as a token of their appreciation, or just throw a large piece of cheap fat meat in, which makes your mouth full of oil when you bite it.

The lean meat dumplings with a strong meaty aroma are rare now. Ouyang Xue hates them so much that she went to the market to buy the ingredients in the morning. The ones she prepared for me were mostly lean or half-fat and half-lean, with a lot of ingredients. The customers were full of praise for them.

"Handsome guy, add your contact information."

"No way, handsome guy, you like guys? Don't lie to me, add me as a friend, quick, quick, quick."

"So your name is Su Yunjin, what a Mary Sue name, and you're so handsome, do you have a girlfriend? If not, what do you think of me?"

"..."

What surprised me a little was that this was Su Yunjin’s first time to “work” in the coffee shop, and the results were surprisingly good.

He attracted almost all the girls in the room and took on a lot of work by himself, which freed me up to make the rice dumplings.

I feel like if someone wrote a book with Su Yunjin as the main perspective, it would probably be a very traditional "anti-routine harem novel."

For example, "I only like men, but so many women are interested in me, what should I do?"

"No, I can't hold on any longer. They are all women."

At about 1 p.m., Su Yunjin, who had just received another batch of customers, came to me and said, "Nuo'er, give me some cold rice dumplings. I'm starving."

"Are you hungry already?"

I stopped what I was doing and turned to the young master: "How many?"

"Three... oh no, three."

Cold zongzi is also a specialty of the area around Kamihama City. It comes in two shapes: long strips and triangles. This kind of zongzi has no core. It is made of pure glutinous rice and zongzi leaves. It is also called "ash water zongzi". It can be eaten directly. If you think the taste is too light, you can also dip it in honey. If there is no honey, white sugar can be used instead.

"With sugar or honey?"

"Just a little honey."

Su Yunjin found a chair and sat down: "Hurry, hurry, I'm really starving."

"it is good."

I stood up and took out a notepad and a pen from my pocket as usual: "Hey customer, three cold dumplings for 4.5 yuan, honey for 1 yuan, a total of 5.5 yuan, please tell me whether it is WeChat or Alipay?"

"I own my own shop, and I still need to charge money?"

Su Yunjin looked incredulous: "Can you erase it by zero?"

"Then I'll tell Sister Ouyang and have the money deducted from your salary."

"Okay, okay, I'll deduct 50 cents."

Su Yunjin took out his wallet from his pocket and gave me five yuan: "I want it cold, I don't want it hot."

Su Yunjin's appearance instantly made the live broadcast room lively.

[Is this the new clerk in the store? She's not a woman? ]

[This must be their boss, from the tone of voice, he sounds like him.]

[What? This shop has butlers? I have no choice but to go.]

"He is our general manager. He likes boys. If the boys in the live studio are interested, they can... ahem."

I went to the kitchen and got three long strips of rice dumplings and a small bag of honey. “And this guy is super bad. He oppresses and exploits his employees. He’s a pure capitalist.”

"Hey."

Su Yunjin, who was standing next to him, was unhappy when he heard this: "When did I exploit you?"

"Isn't it now?"

I said in a joking tone and returned to my seat: "Don't forget to pay the bonus for finding the angels before..."

As she was talking, Yin Xiamo, who was dressed in a maid outfit, walked over from the cat living area: "Nuo'er, I'm hungry."

"Will my Miss Death get hungry too?"

"hungry."

Yin Xiamo sat next to me and pointed at a zongzi in front of her: "I want to eat the fried zongzi made by Nuoer, two big ones.

Fried rice dumplings are a relatively "extreme" way of cooking rice dumplings. I'm not sure whether this is unique to Kamihama City or is also available in other places. To put it simply, the rice dumplings, which are a mixture of fat and lean, are boiled until they are shaped, then oil and salt are added and fried in a pan until they have a bit of a rice crusty taste. When they come out of the pan, they are soft, sticky, delicious and full of umami flavor.

"Master Wang is taking a break now. Are you sure you want me to fry it?"

The coffee shop's rest system currently adopts a segmented system. The number of customers coming to the store usually starts to increase sharply at 11 o'clock in the morning, reaches a peak at around 12 o'clock, and slowly decreases at around 1 o'clock. Usually at this time, Master Wang will prepare some meals in advance and come out of the kitchen to take a nap in the employee lounge. Ouyang Xue or I will take over his work as a chef. Master Wang wakes up at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon to go to work, and then I go to rest.

"Well, Nuo'er, fry it. Make sure it's a little burnt."

Yin Xiamo said seriously: "You can add a little more salt to make it more flavorful."

"Good good."

Hearing this, I had no choice but to stand up and ask, "Two big ones will do?"

Yin Xiamo nodded: "Okay."

"Why don't you take her money?"

Su Yunjin on the side couldn't help but see this scene: "Different treatment, right?"

"Xiaomo is my wife, so it's only natural for me to cook for her."

I gave Su Yunjin a smug look: "Of course the evil capitalists will cheat as much as they can."

"really."

As if responding to my call, Yin Xiamo turned around and gave Su Yunjin an expression that said, "Give up, you can't beat me in terms of beauty."

"I'm going to fry some rice dumplings now. There might be a lot of smoke in the kitchen and the camera might be a little blurry. If you like this cooking method, you can ask Nuo'er to help you make it when you come to the store."

I found a cooked rice dumpling, opened it, took a small rope tied to the rice dumpling, passed it through the bottom of the rice dumpling, roughly estimated the position, crossed the rope above and pulled it, repeated the operation, cut off two pieces of meat and put them on the plate, and said to the audience in the live broadcast room:

"But let me make this clear first. Nuo'er can't guarantee that the food I make will be delicious."

I walked into the kitchen with a plate containing two pieces of rice dumplings, found a small stool, put it in front of the stove, and turned on the fire.

[Fried Zongzi? Why do they feel similar to the street food we eat here? ]

[Nuo'er is so cute. Hahahaha, she's not tall enough. She needs a small chair to cook.]

[Brother, is this your first time watching the live broadcast of this cafe? Nuoer often comes to the kitchen to help. This is how she cooks. That stool has become her exclusive pedal.]

[Can she lift the pot? ]

[What's the point? Aren't the rice dumplings already cooked? Do you still need to fry them? ]

"need."

In order to make it easier for me to fry the food, I put the camera aside and pointed it in the direction of the pot, then explained: "Some people here like things with stronger flavors, so they need to fry the rice dumplings specifically, which can be regarded as a way of eating them."

I turned on the fire, heated the pot, put cold oil in the hot pot, and skillfully took the lighter small spatula prepared for me. I scooped up the large piece of rice dumpling that I had just cut with a rope and put it into the pot.

Suddenly, with a "sizzle" sound, a large amount of smoke came out, along with the aroma of meat and glutinous rice, as well as the smell of burnt rice crust, which was particularly appetizing.

When we were young, this is basically how we dealt with the leftover rice dumplings in the welfare home. We would either have a few children take the dumplings to a fire outside and roast them like sweet potatoes, or the director or the nurse would personally slice the dumplings, add oil and fry them until hot. They were very fragrant.

However, if fried like this, the rice dumplings will change from a "warm food" to a "high-calorie food". Eating too much of it can easily cause getting a sore throat, so it is not recommended to eat it every day.

Stir-fry until fragrant, add some salt, and stir-fry a few more times until the oil in the pan is almost dry. The two pieces of rice dumplings are also covered with a layer of golden coating. I think the temperature is about right, so I scoop out the rice dumplings, put them on a plate, and give it to Yin Xiamo outside.

"I'll go wash the pot."

Then I went back to the kitchen, cleaned everything I had just used and put them in a special place.

After all, the coffee shop kitchen is monitored, and if the hygiene is not maintained properly, it is likely to leave room for all kinds of gossip.

"Noel."

After leaving the kitchen, I saw Xiaomo had already cut the fried rice dumplings into several pieces with a knife and fork. She picked up a piece of golden glutinous rice dumpling with meat on it with her fork and handed it to me: "Let's eat together."

"Thank you."

I was tired after a whole day and didn't think too much. I sat down next to Xiaomo, habitually leaned over and opened my mouth——

"Ah wu——"

However, Xiaomo was faster than me. The moment I took a bite, she put the food on the fork into her mouth, ate only half of it, and then brought the other half to my mouth.

I bit it subconsciously.

“Crack…”

The crispy texture of fried glutinous rice, the fragrance of meat, the faint floral scent of Xiaomo, and the slightly tempting scent of the demon instantly filled my nasal cavity.

"Eh?"

I felt a little stupid when I touched Xiaomo's lips while trying to bite the food.

"Thank you for hospitality."

The girl in front of him didn't mind at all. She bit off half of the glutinous rice cake with a "crunch", chewed it a few times with a satisfied look on her face, and swallowed it.

“The perfect dip, Nour sauce.”

"wait wait wait."

I quickly finished the half piece of food in my mouth, and said, "It's being broadcast live now..."

"It doesn't matter, you are my wife anyway."

Xiaomo grabbed my phone and made a victory gesture to the camera.

"Noel's taste, perfect!"

"..."

……

[Regarding the Cute God Contest, let me say a few more words...]

[A very important point, this is just the preliminary round, anyone who makes it into the top 24 can enter the next round]

[No matter what your ranking is in the first round, all your scores in the next round will be cleared and you will start from the beginning]

[Repeat once, the next round will start scoring from the beginning, which means that the ranking in the first round is not important, as long as you can advance]

[Xiaomo is currently ranked 13th. According to the standard that the top 24 can enter the next round, it should be stable, but Nuoer is outside the top 30]

[Because Xiaomo is on the leaderboard, you can see Xiaomo when you click on the event page, but you can't see Nuoer. If you want to vote for Nuoer, you need to click on the book's details page and vote for "Support Me" on the right. There are only two characters in this book, so it's easy to find them.]

[If you are eliminated in the first round, you will be eliminated permanently. After the first round, all characters who have entered the top 24 will have their scores recalculated.]

[If you voted for the wrong Xiaomo, you can start from now to send Nuoer into the top 24. The first round ends with No. 9. If you are eliminated, you are really eliminated.]

No. 294 I will use crayons to draw the momentum of the Milky Way

I originally thought that due to my previous promotion at the comic convention, the coffee shop’s traffic on the Dragon Boat Festival had reached its “peak” in recent months. Unexpectedly, after the Dragon Boat Festival, on Saturday morning, the number of people who made reservations to dine at the coffee shop was even greater than yesterday.

That’s right, it’s a “reservation”, just like a real five-star hotel.

I spent the entire Dragon Boat Festival in the coffee shop making rice dumplings and serving customers. I slept for less than ten minutes in the afternoon and then continued to work, acting as both a cook and a waiter. Xiaomo was responsible for cat-related work. We were busy until nearly ten o'clock in the evening before we could take a break.

If it were in a normal day, in a remote place like a coffee shop, there would not be many customers after dark, around 7 or 8 o'clock, and Xiaomo and I could go back early. Yesterday, the people in the coffee shop stayed until after 10 o'clock. They were all reluctant to leave and kept taking photos with Xiaomo, me and the cats.

"I really found a treasure shop, folks. This place is decorated so luxuriously but it's not expensive at all. Seriously, folks, look at this zongzi for yourself. This big family portrait zongzi only costs eight yuan. You may not have any idea of ​​it, so let me show you something..."

"See? This is my phone. The eight-yuan rice dumplings are so thick that two phones are placed side by side on the table. One person can never finish them all. If you are stingy enough, just order one rice dumpling, enough for the three brothers in your dormitory to come over. It only costs eight yuan, and you can watch pretty girls and little girls, and cats, and you can still be full. If you feel too greasy, you can add three yuan and ask Nuoer to help fry the rice dumplings. They are super fragrant."

"I'm really not a shill. Yin Nuo'er and Yin Xiamo are the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in my life. Audiences who know me know that the anchor has dolls at home. They are both more perfect than the dolls in my family."

"Yes, I really doubt that this store is not profitable. It is now losing money to gain popularity. Brothers who want to take advantage of it should not miss it."

"I heard that there is another maid in this store who is taking a break. Someone has estimated that the maid's cup size is at least E... Huh? Two maids? I only received information about one, a blonde foreign lady? Is there such a thing?"

The effect of Ouyang Xue letting me “live broadcast making zongzi” was amazing.

Sometimes I have to admire Ouyang Xue's marketing methods. Not only do she keep up with the trend of live streaming, but she also makes perfect use of almost all the resources in the store.

At present, Xiaomo and I are the signature dishes of the coffee shop. Our looks are a sure kill to almost everyone on earth, so Ouyang Xue installed cameras in the store. When someone on the Internet sees this live broadcast room and clicks in to take a look, they will naturally be attracted by the environment of the store and the way we work.
