Persona: Devil Summoner

The slightly sharp voice was obviously from Morgana, who could only maintain the image of a cat in reality, and seemed to have basically gotten used to it. A cat head appeared from Amamiya Ren's bag, with a pair of blue eyes sparkling with anticipation.

But, unfortunately, this expectation will definitely be completely shattered... After all - who would put rice in dumplings? !

Since Morgana is here, then Amamiya Ren must be here too.

This cool-eyed guy from the countryside maintained his silent coolness today. He naturally integrated into Jiang Tianwei's life, as if the conflict between him and Jiang Tianwei had never existed.

Obviously, Jiang Tianwei was not going to argue with him about this matter. Meeting and laughing away all grudges... Although it was not so romantic, there was no doubt that Jiang Tianwei was not going to argue with him about this trivial matter.

"As a souvenir, can I use curry?"

Yu Gong Lian asked in a silly way. Jiang Tianwei's face drooped immediately: "Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen anyone eat dumplings with curry?"

"But, isn't it said that curry goes with everything?"

"That can't be combined like this!"

"Then coffee will be a good souvenir."

"Can you please stay away from Boss Sakura's warehouse!"

The two of them complained in unison. Gao Juanxing came over from behind and slapped the two on the shoulder: "Don't block the corridor! Everyone still has to go home after school!"

She tried her best to lower her voice, but at the same time she tried to make an gesture of shouting, and as a result, the words that came out sounded both loud and soft. It was a strange experience, because her voice was obviously very soft, but the energy in her tone was unexpectedly great.

The three old men scratched their heads with embarrassed expressions and quickly dispersed to make way for the students from other classes behind them.

Shinjima, who was carrying a pile of materials to the teacher's office, watched their farce from afar and sighed deeply: "Ah, you guys..."

Sumire Yoshizawa had training today, so Kasumi went to accompany her. Since she wanted to become a world champion, she couldn't just skip her training. So the two of them would go to Master Liu's house later to meet up.

As for Yusuke, there was no need to ask. When he heard that there was a free meal, and it was prepared by Mr. Liu himself, he certainly did not refuse! However, he was an outsider after all, so he could only go to Mr. Liu's house to meet up later.

Naturally, he would also invite other people whom he knew and cared for, such as Okumura Haru, Kawakami Sensei, Takemiya Tadashi, Hakubane Naoto, Togo Ichimi, and so on.

Since it is a New Year’s Eve dinner, of course the more people there are, the more lively it is!

After all, isn’t that what the New Year atmosphere is all about?

However, at this moment, Jiang Tianwei forgot a very important proverb. Chinese proverbs embody the simple wisdom of the ancients. The truth may not be profound enough, but it is very practical.

There is a very important Chinese proverb...which says plans cannot keep up with changes.

Jiang Tianwei still didn’t understand… soon, soon… something terrible would happen during the Spring Festival…

Chapter 371: New Year Special Chapter Speaking of the Spring Festival, it must be about making dumplings! (Part )

Master Liu's house is particularly lively today.

"Hmm...very good. Perfect."

Kitagawa Yusuke said as he opened the red paper in his hand, and a pile of tiny red paper scraps fell down, as if a "red rain" had fallen. After the red scraps fell, Kitagawa Yusuke had a pair of exquisitely cut window paper-cuts in his hand.

This is also one of the Chinese traditions, cutting out various patterns with red paper and sticking them on the windows to create a festive atmosphere. Although this is the first time Kitagawa Yusuke has come into contact with this traditional Chinese art, art is interlinked after all. As a master of painting, he only needs to conceive the final appearance of the work in his mind in advance, and then he can project it onto paper, and then all he needs to do is cut out the picture in his mind with scissors.

"Perfect—what? Look at what you have done!"

Shinjima frowned, looking at the floor he had just swept, which was now a mess again because of Kitagawa Yusuke's behavior. Yusuke then noticed his own gaffe and coughed dryly, "Sorry, I was just a little drunk just now..."

"That's what you just said..."

As she spoke, Shinjima sighed and put a little more strength in her hands. She heard Master Liu, who was lying on the bed, utter a cry of "ouch". She quickly withdrew her strength and said, "I'm sorry, does it hurt?"

"[Ouch... It's okay, I feel better now...]"

Master Liu was speaking in Chinese, but Xindao couldn't understand him. He could only look at Jiang Tianwei who was busy in the distance. Jiang Tianwei took the time out of his busy schedule to turn his head and said, "It's okay. He said he feels very comfortable. You can continue to use this strength."

Shinjima said "oh" and continued to put his hands on the old man's back. Because of the long-term use of plasters, square offset marks could be seen on the skin, and a strong peculiar smell of the plaster could be smelled.

Yes, this is the dilemma Master Liu is facing now.

Anyway, he is old after all, and a hero does not boast of his past achievements. Now he is just an ordinary old man. He broke his leg some time ago, and no matter how much he refuses to admit his old age, his body will truly reflect the traces of age.

Yes, Jiang Tianwei and his classmates discovered after school that when Master Liu was cooking, his legs suddenly started to hurt and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

This is the core reason why we cannot leave the elderly alone at home, because once something happens, the elderly can neither save themselves nor know how to ask for help. Fortunately, Master Liu did not open fire, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

He prepared the dumpling fillings and wrappers, but had not yet started to make the dumplings. This action can be said to have saved his life. It would have been too dangerous for an old man who could not move to be in a fire nearby.

In this situation, no matter how cold-blooded a person is, it is not easy to ask the old man to get up and cook for everyone, right? So, originally everyone agreed to eat dumplings together, and the verb changed from eat to make.

This is also the main reason why Jiang Tianwei is so busy now that he wishes he could create several clones: these Japanese have such a weird impression of Chinese cuisine in their minds!

"Well...is this okay?"

Gao Juanxing frowned, holding a wrinkled dough in her delicate hands. It barely looked like a dumpling, but the white skin was covered with traces of reddish-brown gravy. From the irregular, barely held-together shape, one could guess what kind of tragedy had just occurred.

Empiricism means that people will continue to use similar behavioral experiences to solve similar problems. For example, Gao Juanxing has never made dumplings before, so she made them according to the technique of making rice balls. The dumplings are round and plump, and they are good in every way, except that they don’t look like dumplings.

but……

"Great! Very spirited! Put it on the panel! On to the next one!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianwei gave a positive consent.

"Is this okay? Huh..."

Gao Juanxing breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. White flour fell from the back of her hand and stained her hair and face.

As a traditional Chinese, Jiang Tianwei certainly knows that dumplings don't look like this. But now he doesn't care about that. The current situation is that as long as it's roughly the same, just use it.

Because... other people are really causing too much trouble!

Kitagawa Yusuke and Niijima Makoto were the first ones to be expelled by Jiang Tianwei.

Yusuke had an artistic temperament and loved to do artistic things. For example, the first thing he did was to use a kitchen knife to cut the round dumpling skin into star shapes... but he was asked to leave by Jiang Tianwei.

Because Shin Niijima was so serious about her work, she learned how to make dumplings from Jiang Tianwei and replicated his entire process perfectly.

But, we all know that when people are too nervous, it is always difficult to control their strength. So... Niijima can really do all the previous steps perfectly, except for the last step of [wrapping]... How should I put it, have any of you ever eaten the soup?

The dumplings made by Shinjima are good in every way, except that they are not called dumplings. You can call them noodles or boxes, but they are not dumplings.

"Come to think of it, I just searched the internet and it seems that you can put all kinds of things in dumplings! It seems that you can also put coins in them in your country? I happen to have 500 yen here!"

Long Si took out a coin as if he had discovered a new world. Jiang Tianwei had an expressionless face and stretched out his hand to knock it away.

"Ahhh! My precious 500 yen! What are you doing!?"

"Stop playing! Make dumplings! If you don't have time to check your phone, work hard!"

Long Si had a bitter face, a look of despair on his face, and muttered: "Who made me never cook before! Usually it's my mom who cooks..."

"Over there! Stop it!"

Jiang Tianwei, who had just finished instructing Long Si, instantly caught sight of Amamiya Ren, who was about to do something bad in the corner of the table, with his devil-level dynamic vision. Jiang Tianwei reached out and grabbed his hand across the table. Amamiya Ren was holding a curry bottle in her hand.

"What are you going to do?"

"I think we can try some dumplings stuffed with curry."

Amamiya Lian said seriously, Jiang Tianwei looked at the takeaway curry in his hand, it was obvious that this thing was brought from Lou Brown. I really don't know why this four-eyed guy has such a special liking for curry...

Come to think of it, it seems that this is not really Ren Amamiya's problem. Although curry originated in India, for some reason, Japan is the second country in the world in terms of curry sales. It can be seen that the whole of Japan has a special liking for curry.

It is no exaggeration to say that whenever the element of cooking appears in the cartoons you watch, the probability of curry appearing is as high as about 70%, which is really very common.

"Put it down! Make dumplings for me."

"Yes……"

Amamiya Lian sighed and reluctantly put down the curry box. She took a small piece of meat filling from the bowl on the side and stuffed it into the dumpling skin.

Jiang Tianwei finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "You are both from Lubron, why are you so different from Futaba-chan..."

Sakura Futaba, who was originally concentrating on the dumplings in her hand, was suddenly called out and was startled. She is the adopted daughter of Sakura Sojiro, with a cute face and long orange hair that is completely different from her boss. Due to malnutrition, her body is particularly slender, even thinner than the bamboo pole figure that people say.

She was originally shy, and when Jiang Tianwei called her name, she was immediately startled, and her glasses tilted down. Her small hands were very flexible, and she had already made several standard dumplings.

After all, she is a genius hacker. If she wants to be a hacker, she will inevitably have to type on the keyboard. Through typing day after day, she will naturally develop ten extremely flexible fingers.

Moreover, it is obvious that at her age, being able to become a world-class hacker means that she is a genius. Her brain is very useful. Learning the process of making dumplings is too easy. Therefore, she easily learned the skill of making dumplings...

only……

"Hmm...it's all burned out..."

Suddenly, Futaba put down the dumplings in her hand, pulled the chair back, curled up her legs, and put her bare feet on the edge of the chair, sitting like a great detective in Death Note.

Then, she reached out and grabbed Morgana, who happened to be passing by, and held the black cat in her arms. The white flour on her hands immediately stuck to Morgana's dark fur...

"Wow?! Stop touching me with your floury hands! Wow! Stop it!"

Naturally, Futaba wouldn't give up petting the cat just because of such a small matter.

Yes, Sakura Futaba is good in every way, but her biggest shortcoming is that she is too weak. You can't expect her to hold on to the end.

It seems that there is no hope here.

Jiang Tianwei felt resentful in his heart.

"Ah?!"

This time it was Okumura Haru who exclaimed.

The daughter of Okumura Foods.

Jiang Tianwei was not very familiar with her, he could only say that he had met her at the banquet. But she seemed to be very close to Yu Gonglian and the others, and Jiang Tianwei did not mind inviting one more person to dinner. Who would have thought that the old man's legs would be gone after he finished talking about them?

Jiang Tianwei looked over and saw that although this rich young lady had a lot of gardening experience, cooking obviously did not fall into the category of gardening. At this moment, all ten of her fingers were stuck in the dough, just like the cheese on a pizza, stuck between her fingers.

"Why, why is this happening?!"

She looked at Jiang Tianwei pitifully. What else could Jiang Tianwei say? He could only patiently explain, "You have to add flour first, my lady!"

"Oh, I see. I'll help her!"

Seeing that he was a little impatient, Gao Juan An knew that this group of people had caused him a lot of trouble, so she hurried over to smooth things over, holding a bowl of flour in her hand, and slammed it on Okumura Haru's hand...

puff!

Such a rough action suddenly released a huge amount of flour into the air, and a white mist instantly enveloped everyone...

"Cough cough cough..."

Okumura Haru coughed and fanned himself with his sticky palms. The flour gradually fell. Jiang Tianwei said to her with a dark face... no, a "pale face": "Go wash your hands... and then find something else to do..."

"Ah... I, I understand..."

Okumura Haru lowered his head in embarrassment and hurried to the bathroom to wash his hands. Jiang Tianwei now felt like he was going to collapse...

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. In order to make it easier for everyone to come in, Jiang Tianwei did not lock the door. Anyway, everyone was here, so there was no need to worry about bad guys coming in - to be honest, if bad guys really came in, what we need to worry about is their safety.

"Wow? You, what are you guys doing? A costume party?! Is it okay that I didn't bring any cosplay clothes?!"

At the door, the handbag in Mr. Kawakami's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and his face was full of surprise!

"Teacher! You've arrived just in time! Come on! It's time to demonstrate your abilities!"

"Eh?! Me, me?! But..."

"I don't have time anymore! I'm so busy right now that I even want to borrow a cat's hand!"

As soon as Jiang Tianwei finished speaking, Shuangye pinched Morgana's little paw just right and gestured. Jiang Tianwei said unhappily: "No need for real cat paws!"

"Hey! I'm not a cat... Never mind, now's not the time to talk about this..."

Morgana looked at the atmosphere in the cave and knew that this was not the time to say such things...

Chapter 372: New Year Special Chapter Speaking of the Spring Festival, it must be about making dumplings! (Part )

Jiang Tianwei never thought that making dumplings was such a difficult task.

His skill in making dumplings is just average. If you ask him to make dumplings, he can make them, but not very fast, and they are not pretty enough. They are just average.

But it really is true that the saying goes: it’s all thanks to the support of peers.

Now that he is contrasted by this group of burdens around him, hey, now Jiang Tianwei even dares to star in "The Cooking Master Boy"!
