I'm Not a Detective

Burgundy beef stew, also known as red wine beef stew, is perhaps the most famous of all beef stews in Western food. It is praised by Western gourmets as "the ultimate in beef deliciousness".

The production process is quite troublesome.

Choose good cuts of beef, put them into a deep enough pot, add celery, carrots, onions, bay leaves, thyme, garlic, orange peel and other ingredients and spices, and then take a bottle of Burgundy or other fruits. Pour the red wine with strong aroma into water, seal well, and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for 24 hours.

After marinating, separate the wine juice, meat and side dishes. Fry the beef over low heat until the surface is slightly charred. Add the side dishes and beef and stir-fry until cooked through. Pour in the previously separated wine juice and cook over high heat. Stew until the alcohol is completely evaporated and the spirit of the wine is completely immersed in the beef.

Then, dice the bacon and stir-fry it with butter until the pork and butter are perfectly blended. Add a box of small onions and fresh mushrooms, stir evenly and pour them into the beef stew pot.

Finally, according to personal taste, add an appropriate amount of stock to enhance the freshness, put the pot of meat in the oven, calculate the baking start time, and bake for a total of three hours. Then when you get home after school in the afternoon, after using the coolie, you will have a pot of fragrant and crispy meat. The rotten beef stew just arrived.

It's not easy for Takeshi Nanahara to eat now, but he doesn't mind sharing food with his friends. This is a habit he developed in the circus. He directly greeted Qingmi Ruri: "Why are you standing there, get ready to eat."

Seeing that Liuli smelled very good, Qingqing subconsciously wanted to agree, but a girl must be reserved and not act like a foodie. Moreover, she had known Takeshi Nanahara for several days and knew his character well, so she immediately covered her up. Pocket said warily: "I don't have any money."

If you work to pay off your debts, it will be bad if the debts get bigger and bigger.

Now he has to do almost 400 hours of work for him. Even if he calculates four hours at a time, it will take more than three months to complete. No matter how much debt he has, will he have to serve him for the next three years?

That won't work!

Takeshi Nanahara took the beef out and said with a smile: "When guests come, serve tea and share food. This is the basic principle of treating others. Don't worry, you don't have to pay for anything you eat here."

After a pause, he seemed to realize that Qingmi Ruri didn't have much experience eating at other people's homes. He was a little embarrassed and added, "You can use it as a work meal."

This is more or less the same, you have a conscience!

Seeing that Liuli's heart was moved, Qing Qing swallowed secretly and hummed: "Since you said so, then... then I will reluctantly try your cooking skills!"

"Whatever you say, take the plates and chopsticks, you can use a knife and fork if you want, there are them in the cupboard." Takeshi Nanahara is also moving his index finger now, he is in a good mood, he doesn't care what she says - give him a sweet date with a stick , Qingjian Liuli, how much can a little girl eat?

It's not that he doesn't know how to do housework. He has been wandering around since he was a child, and living independently is definitely not a problem. In terms of housework, he can at least be as good as ten pampered stupid Tibetan foxes. But since you can lie down and watch others do it, why do it yourself?

It happened that Qingjian Liuli had offended her and made trouble for him, causing him a headache and almost causing him to break the rules of the business, so he used her as a coolie for a period of time as compensation, preferably for three years, until he could use it. Until leaving Hirano.

Therefore, it is still necessary to take care of the food.

Takeshi Nanahara placed the stew pot on the small square table. Qing Jian saw that Liuli had already picked up the plates and chopsticks, and ordered Takeshi Nanahara to divide them one by one, and then the two sat opposite each other.

"Let's get started!" Takeshi Nanahara didn't think much of Qingmi Ruri as a guest, so he casually said it and moved his chopsticks first.

"Aren't you waiting for the rice?" The beef was right in front of him, and the aroma was fragrant. Qing Jian Liuli couldn't stop salivating, but for the sake of the girl's reserve, she held back the question and hinted that she was not in a hurry.

"Eat the meat first, and mix it with the soup and rice later." Takeshi Nanahara cut the beef into larger pieces. According to his childhood habit, he always felt that the meat had to be eaten in large bites to make it taste better. At this time, he had already cut a large piece of beef into pieces. Put it in your mouth and chew hard.

Well, it’s better than last time. It’s just that this kind of red wine doesn’t have a strong fruity aroma and is not suitable for stewed meat. It’s slightly astringent, but this problem is difficult to solve. The legal drinking age in Japan is twenty years old. I can't buy alcohol openly because of my identity, and it's useless to fake my identity. People will chase people away when they see such a tender face, so I can only choose from the black market, which is expensive and the range is extremely limited.

In other respects, the amount of rosemary needs to be reduced, which overwhelms the taste.

He was striving for perfection here, and was heartbroken for the emperor's tongue in his mouth. Qingjian Liuli also started to move over there. He took a small bite of the beef and immediately covered his mouth with his hand. He almost screamed, and hurriedly took two more bites to suppress it. One press - the hundreds of compounds formed by marinating and cooking for a day and a half formed a wonderful taste, which instantly defeated her little tongue, and she felt that the gravy was dancing on her taste buds like hands. Four little swans.

Delicious!

It’s really delicious!

When you bite into your mouth, the beef is tender and fragrant. The meat is extremely juicy and has a slight fruity aroma. It is truly fat but not greasy, tender but chewy.

The mushrooms are also delicious. They are full of thick juice. The texture is explosive but smooth when you bite it. It is like massaging your taste buds.

The onions are even more wonderful, super fragrant, and are simply the soul of this dish. If my mother could make onions so delicious, I and my unlucky sister would not have to go on hunger strike when we were young.

"How is it? How does it taste?" After the two of them ate for a while, Takeshi Nanahara asked, wanting to hear other people's opinions. After all, he had changed the recipe and it was more suitable for his taste.

Seeing that Liuli was concentrating on eating hard, Qing suddenly choked to death when he heard Qian Yuanwu's question. He quickly drank a sip of water and wiped the corners of his mouth, forcing himself to calm down and said: "Very strong... Well, it's okay, yours" The cooking quality is a little better than I expected.”

Damn it, if this bastard opens a store, it will definitely sell out!

"Is there anything that doesn't suit your taste?" Takeshi Qihara asked casually.

It’s not like he traveled back and became a robot. He still has social needs. He sometimes feels bored at home alone. But when he just moved to Hirano, it seems that the only one with whom he can have dinner and chat is a curious guy like Qingmi Ruri. After all, most people Man, he almost fainted after smelling the smell carefully, so he could only keep his distance. Qing Jian Liuli was a little annoyed, but the smell on his body was quite good, and he could accept it.

"Well, something doesn't suit the taste..." Qingmi Ruri fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out. She felt that this dish was perfect and it was the best beef stew she had ever eaten. However, she couldn't say anything, so she seemed My cooking skills are very low, and it always hurts my self-esteem to lose to a boy in cooking.

She held it in for a long time and said with a guilty conscience: "Isn't it a bit dull?"

"Are you harsh?" Takeshi Nanahara was just chatting and didn't care whether she could really give good advice.

"Maybe. My mother also said that I have a heavy mouth. When I eat sushi, I always dip it in soy sauce."

"Then I'll use salted butter next time. The bacon this time was a bit salty, so I didn't add any salt at all."

"No, I just...just said casually, it's not bad now." Qingjian Liuli took another bite and felt even more guilty. Anyway, she felt that this dish was perfect and there was no room for improvement. Finally, she couldn't help but said, "Your cooking skills are so... not bad, why do you want to become a psychic to cheat money? You can certainly... maybe make money by opening a shop."

Takeshi Nanahara looked up at her and said, speechless for a moment: "You are such a pig-brained person, why do you always ask stupid questions?"

"You scolded me again..." The beef was so delicious and the food was so powerful. Qingjian Liuli couldn't get angry at the moment, so she could only mutter in a low voice, "Where am I stupid again?"

Takeshi Nanahara pointed at his face, "Look at me like this, can I get a business license? Can I get a food safety certificate? Can I get an alcoholic beverage sales license?"

Uh, yes, this guy is only a freshman in high school and can't open a store.

But Qingjian Liuli was still not convinced, and after holding it in for a while, she said, "Then you can also work in a restaurant. As long as the owner has a brain, he will definitely give you a high salary... Well, he will probably give you a high salary." She felt that she If you want to open a restaurant, as long as you taste this beef stew, you don't need to check other things. You will immediately hire Takeshi Nanabahara, and even dividing shares with him is not non-negotiable.

"No, I'm too tired."

"ha?"

Takeshi Nanahara added meat to her plate, and also added some to himself, and said casually: "I can make money easily, why should I go to a restaurant and suffer from that trouble? Kitchen work is not easy to do."

He had worked as a cook in a circus for a while. Apart from being easier for corruption, it was not a good job, especially in the summer when he wanted to commit suicide. Furthermore, as a time traveler, I have already died once, so what else can I look down upon? Therefore, living a leisurely life is the most important thing. You can just make some money. Who has to worry about it when you are sick?

People who have died once can only seek immortality by cultivating immortality. Those who go to prestigious schools and careers will definitely have their heads kicked by a donkey.

You are just lazy and lazy!

Different experiences will form different opinions. The simple Qingjian Liuli couldn't understand his thoughts, curled her lips, and secretly despised him. However, she was eating other people's beef at the moment, so she was not stupid enough to say it directly.

Well, after being frantically trained by Takeshi Nanahara for several days, she got two BUFFs: "Intelligence +1" and "The upper limit of carrying gold is 0". Her agility increased, and the possibility of seeking her own death was slightly reduced.

Soon, the rice was ready. This time without Takeshi Nanahara's instructions, she took the initiative to run and fill up two bowls of rice. After bringing it back, she gave Takeshi Nanahara one bowl, while she curiously looked at this meal that was super troublesome to make.

So beautiful, the white rice is crystal clear and seems to reflect light, a bit like the legendary "Silver Jade Rice" - rice cooked with the highest grade jade relic rice.

Could it be that the rice he used was of high quality?

Qing Jian Liuli couldn't bear to move her chopsticks for a while. After admiring it for a while, she took a small bite and almost covered her mouth again - it turned out that rice can also be bursting with pulp, it was the first time she tasted it!

Rice is often eaten, after all, it is a staple food. Occasionally, the aroma of rice can be tasted, but it is definitely not as rich and pure as this bite. The aroma of rice is so simple that it feels like it explodes on the tongue.

It’s delicious, it’s delicious, it’s really delicious. I feel like I can eat three bowls of it just by eating rice!

Qingmi Ruri wanted to suggest Nanabaru Takeshi to open a restaurant again. She felt that he would definitely have a bright future as a chef, and it would definitely be better than being a liar. Unfortunately, his character was not good, and he only pursued crooked ways. It was regrettable...

No, it’s despicable!

It's such a pity. If I had his ability, even my mother would follow behind and flatter me every day. She would never dare to say that I was picked out of the trash can by a dog, right?

Damn it, how can this guy be so bad and so powerful? This is so unfair...

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's troublesome now?" This was a golden legendary formula that he spent more than half a year adjusting countless times based on hundreds of kinds of rice. It doesn't taste good. The emperor's tongue is said to be invincible, but it is definitely suitable for him - currently, it seems that it is also suitable for Qing Jian Liuli's maid tongue.

Qing Jian Liuli saw that he was proud and wanted to say "That's it", but her tongue disagreed and refused to say such nonsense, so she could only let out a small "hum".

Takeshi Nanahara ordered: "This is how you will cook from now on, do you understand?"

"I got it, no need for you to be nagging."

Qingjian Liuli muttered back to him to prevent him from getting too bloated, and took two more mouthfuls of rice, and was excitedly preparing to pour the broth on it to try - delicious + delicious, it must be equal to unparalleled deliciousness in the world!

Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang at this time, and she suddenly said unhappy: "Who is this, coming here during other people's rest time..."

It's really annoying, she is eating happily!

"That's right, anyone who disturbs others during the break should be punished." Takeshi Nanahara specially added an accent to the word "rest" and said to the entrance, "Why are you still sitting there? Go open the door quickly. Don't you think so?" Are you waiting for me to go? A guy with no eyesight at all!"

Qing Jian Liuli glared at him, but did not reply. She stood up and ran to open the door. She was surprised when she saw it: "Hey, Officer Okuno, how, how, how... why are you here?"

Halfway through her sentence, she remembered that Takeshi Nanahara was up to something wrong in the "Town District Referendum Case", and she began to stutter with a guilty conscience. She was very suspicious that the matter would be exposed, and the police would come to her door to curse her.
