Greetings, Mister Principal: Hot pot is the epitome of life
The barbecue stall is operating in full swing, and even attracted a follow-up report by "Daily Prest", causing a sensation among the upper class people.
Recently, gorgeous carriages often come to the old street. Aristocratic ladies in complicated long skirts and gentlemen in elegant dresses get down from them. They tiptoe to the door of Crescent BBQ and place a few seats in a rather restrained manner. BBQ skewers, then let yourself go with a glass of ice-cold ale.
These upper-class people who used to only hang out in high-end restaurants are now sitting at the table having **** with ordinary office workers. This scene is indeed a bit novel.
While people are pursuing skewers, they are also paying attention to the changes in the old streets. Reiner specifically asked Oriana, the editor-in-chief of "Daily Prest", to "leak" some information about Crescent Coke Theme Park As soon as the news spread, more than a dozen shops came to contact Lena, vying to settle in the old street. There were also many workshops interested in cooperating with Lena and sending their products to the theme park.
After Reiner formulated the rules of cooperation, he handed over these matters to Antoine and focused on another thing.
Before leaving, Reiner had to do one last experiment.
He summoned Xia Luo and others and sat around in an empty laboratory. On the table in the middle was a pot. The flames were licking the bottom of the pot. There seemed to be something in the pot that was covered by the lid. The plant is getting ready to move, making a gurgling sound.
"Is this really edible?"
Xia Luo moved her nose. Since just now, the strong aroma has been harassing her nose, making her mouth dry and she always wanted to eat something to relieve her eager mood.
"Look forward to it."
Fina opened her eyes wide and stared at the pot. She held it empty in her hand and seemed a little impatient.
"This tableware is really difficult to use..."
Almiya frowned slightly. She held the two wooden sticks in her hands in an extremely awkward posture. This type of tableware called chopsticks originated from Eastern countries, where people do not use knives and forks, but only use a pair of chopsticks. Handling all the ingredients, of course, the use of this kind of tableware is also extremely difficult.
So far, apart from Reiner, who is already familiar with chopsticks, only Claire and Fina can use chopsticks relatively smoothly. Emilia mostly uses them as forks. As for Charlotte and Dan, Na, I can still pick up relatively regular food if I work hard.
Beside the pot, a plate is full of ingredients.
Mutton and beef sliced thinly using magic, as well as duck intestines, kidneys, tripe, and various vegetables, potatoes, radish, and mushrooms are piled on top.
Liner opened the lid and saw that this pot was different from an ordinary pot. Instead, there was an iron sheet in the middle, dividing it into two parts.
One part is a clear soup, in which you can see a few pieces of ribs and side dishes. The other side is a constantly rolling red soup, with chili, Sichuan peppercorns and red oil forming the main color.
"You can eat it, just like this."
Leiner picked up a piece of duck intestine and put it into the red soup pot. At the same time, he kept picking it up from the pot. He repeated this three times before putting it into the bowl where the sauce had been mixed.
There was still a little bit of red soup on the hot duck intestines. Reiner put it into his mouth. The crispy duck intestines bounced to his teeth, and the spicy and fragrant taste filled his mouth. Reiner couldn't help but be moved. Unexpectedly, In this world, you can still eat such authentic red oil hot pot.
"Is this really familiar?"
Almiya frowned slightly as she watched Reiner enjoying the duck intestines.
Alymiya is actually a little resistant to the offal such as duck intestines. She thinks that an elegant noble should flexibly cut the steak with a knife and fork, and then drink it with a glass of red wine. However, she did not expect that Reiner's "hot pot" "It doesn't look like an elegant delicacy, but more like a big pot dish on the street.
“If you cook it for a long time, it will become old and taste bad.”
Reiner explained that he took another piece of tripe, rinsed it in the pot seven times and then put it in his belly.
Almiya doubtfully picked up a piece of duck intestine and put it into the pot. However, she was not as skillful as Reiner. She only tried to hold the slender duck intestine and submerged it in the boiling red soup. Waiting It took a while before I raised my chopsticks.
However, there was nothing on the other end of the chopsticks except chili.
"???"
Emiya looked at Reiner with questions on her face.
“I forgot to tell you, this kind of food can easily slip off the chopsticks, and if you don’t pay attention, you can easily lose it.”
Reiner looked innocent, causing Emilia to glare at him viciously.
"It's okay, come and eat from me."
Claire said and put the duck intestines she had just cooked into Alimiya's bowl. Although serving food to others is not the behavior a lady who has received good table manners should do, Claire doesn't care too much. These.
To have a meal together is to have fun, why bother with so much red tape?
After several rounds of boiling, the whole laboratory became lively. The girls didn’t know whether it was because the hot pot was too spicy or because the temperature was too high while sitting by the stove. Fortunately, there was a slight blush on their faces. This laboratory has a temperature adjustment array, and there are many ice-cold Crescent Cokes next to it. In Reiner's words, it is like blowing the air conditioner, drinking Coke and eating hot pot, which is completely comfortable.
Even Mrs. Freya smelled the aroma of hot pot and came here. Reiner boiled a few pieces of meat for her, and saw the cat dormitory manager burying his head in the plate and eating. What a joy.
Claire was the first to adapt to the way of eating hot pot, and soon, she developed many hot pot eating routines without any teacher, making Reiner wonder whether foodies are common in all the world.
It was more than an hour after they had finished eating. Thanks to Tokeler, all the dishes prepared were eaten, even the bottom of the pot was not spared.
Liner nodded with satisfaction. It seems that hot pot is also very popular. He plans to ask Antoine to find someone to open a hot pot restaurant next to Crescent BBQ. He will also study barbecue by the way. As for the hot pot chain and Maocai Malatang, Reiner has no time to try it now. He only wrote a plan and started to prepare it later.
They rested for a while, and then Reiner used magic to clean up all the pots and pans.
It was completely dark when they walked out of the laboratory. After bidding farewell to the students, Reiner and Claire walked on the promenade on campus. The sky was dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hung high, disappearing among the stars. ~IndoMTL.com~ The two of them said nothing. Claire glanced at Reiner. He seemed to be thinking about something, and he seemed to be simply admiring the campus.
Tomorrow, the two of them will set off for Olmsted in the Midland Federation. The hot pot tonight is a bit like a farewell banquet before leaving.
Claire was wearing a dark long dress and a thin white top. She followed Reiner. She originally wanted to find some topics to talk about, but soon, Claire felt that it was fine just like this.
This kind of silent atmosphere of tacit understanding made Claire very relaxed. She didn’t need to worry about anything. She just had to follow Reiner like this. This was an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. Many years ago, Claire was still a little girl. At that time, she followed the old principal like this, feeling the same sense of security.
Looking up slightly, Claire saw the crescent moon.
"The moon is so beautiful."
She said, the moonlight fell on Claire's clothes, leaving a bright spot.
