They Gather Here

What Chitanda was most afraid of was when others apologized to him, and also bowed to apologize, and as a result, their foreheads were pressed together.

"hiss……"

"It hurts..."

Embarrassed, Chitanda took a step back.

She sighed and explained: "When I was young, I liked eating bee chrysalis and Satsuki trout sashimi very much. If my father prepared 'ordinary' food, he would keep saying 'stinky'."

The girl's voice was dull, but her eyes were shining brightly, as if lost in memory.

The girl is homesick.

Luo Zhen couldn't help feeling something in his heart, and asked subconsciously: "Chitanda, have you heard of the ancient Chinese poem "Thinking of Wujiang Song"?"

Chitanda shook her head, "No."

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

"I'm fine...well...forget it, Senior Luo, I'll be leaving first."

Chitanda snatched the handlebar from the opponent's hand and ran away in a hurry.

Just ask if you are curious!

It's rare to want to show off...

Luo Zhen thought about it in his heart, and walked slowly.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

After listening to the class all morning, it was time for a lunch break at noon, and the classroom on 2-F was full of chaos.

As usual, Kato Megumi sat in the seat in front of Luo Zhen and opened the bento box.

The first one: fresh shrimp steamed egg, fresh meat, fried cabbage, steamed eggplant, steamed pumpkin, fried cabbage.

The second serving: steamed egg with fresh shrimp, stir-fried minced beef with green beans and olives, rice, bacon and oyster mushroom.

The main dishes are steamed eggs with fresh shrimps, so they should be written by the same person.

Luo Zhen couldn't help being curious: "This is..."

"Mother was drunk." Megumi Kato replied, "In the past, she made one bento and I made one, but since you visited last week, she has started to make two."

"Then last Friday..."

"I didn't bring it on purpose, hoping that she would forget about it in the weekend, but in the end..."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say.

What broke the silence was a voice from the back door: "Student Luo, yes, it's you, Luo Zhen, someone is looking for you, a first-year student!"

Then, the boy who reported the letter lowered his voice again: "Is that the one called 'Chitanda'? She's super pretty and has a good temperament~"

Stinking rogue!

Luo Zhen and Kato Hui turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw the girl standing at the door.

She held a small cloth bag in her hand, which seemed to be bento.

"Go." Kato Megumi pursed his lips and said.

"Yeah." Luo Zhen left his seat.

Seeing him move, Chitanda couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but she was still nervous and almost broke the handle of the cloth bag.

Fortunately, Luo Zhen ran over as soon as possible.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Try it, grilled sika deer loin." Chitanda said, "It's still a specialty of Gifu."

"what?"

"Grilled sika deer tenderloin."

In China, wild sika deer is a first-class protected animal, but there are 400 million neon sika deer, and the agricultural damage caused by wild birds and animals is as high as 191 billion yen. It and the owners are the two main forces.

Therefore, eating sika venison here is not illegal, and it is even a contribution to society.

Even so, Luo Zhen was still stunned.

There are only 10 registered hunters left in Nihong, two-thirds of whom are over 60 years old, so even if there are so many wild game, it is still difficult for him to contact the big hunters who supply one or two.

To be precise, there are those that can be supplied, but there are not stable and cheap ones.

Of course, this may have something to do with the city of Tokyo.

Luo Zhen asked: "Chitanda, is this the deer your family hunted?"

Chitanda nodded: "Yes, father also sent a photo."

"Amazing."

"Try it, and Senior Kato, if you don't mind, you can also try it, this one is for you."

"Then I'm welcome."

Luo Zhen took it with a smile on his face.

Chapter 32 "Thinking of Wujiang Song" and Gifu Local Cuisine

Chitanda waved to her senior, saying that she was leaving now.

Seeing that the girl was about to run away, Luo Zhen grabbed her and asked, "Have you eaten?"

After all, it would be unethical to steal someone's lunch.

Chitanda nodded, "I just ate."

"Then go inside."

"Hey?"

Luo Zhen waved and led Chitanda into the classroom.

Generally, the school does not allow visiting during class time, otherwise there would be no situation of only calling for someone at the door, but the pure girl seems to have a magical power of her own, both boys and girls like her very much.

……

"What's up with that first grader? So pretty."

"Looks like Chitanda from Class 1-E."

"I really didn't expect to meet such a literary girl in modern times."

"Jealous of Rozen."

"Same jealousy."

……

Chitanda blushed.

Luo Zhen could imagine the popularity of girls in the first grade, but it was really uncommon to be surrounded by the second graders.

He smiled: "You seem very attractive."

Chitanda didn't dare to answer, she walked up to Megumi Kato with her head down, said hello, and then sat down.

Luo Zhen also returned to his place, opened the cloth bag, and lifted the lid.

Bentos that are very characteristic of Gifu prefecture come rushing to your face.

The main course is the sika venison just mentioned. It should be tenderloin, covered with rice. It doesn't look like the concept of fully cooked in Western food, but it is closer to three ripe, tender and tender, which seduces people's appetite.

The side dish is matsutake with tamarind soy sauce, which looks like charcoal grilled from the evenness of the heat.

All in all, it is a veritable local cuisine.

Luo Zhen once accompanied Erina to eat sika venison, but it was in Hokkaido where the "deer disaster" was more serious.

That dish reminded him of "Bambi". After all, it was one of his favorite cartoons when he was a child. He felt guilty for eating Bambi.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

The most important thing is that it has something to do with Luo Zhenneri's Chinese soul, and he is not very suitable for eating domestic protected animals.

Now when I face it again, it doesn't feel so serious.

This kind of gradual adaptation to the neon life made him somewhat feel lost, and he sighed for no reason.

result……

"Laugh!" Megumi Kato poked the corner of Luo Zhen's mouth across the table, "Food should make you feel happy right now, just laugh!"

"I lost to you." Luo Zhen smiled.

The girl said it well.

Food can provide a sense of well-being. Correspondingly, people who can’t eat food can easily become decadent. Many people who diet to lose weight are in a bad mood, and this is often the reason.

Luo Zhen glanced at Chitanda who was a bit worried, and said sorry in his heart.

Then, he clasped his palms together and said "I'm starting~", then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of deer tenderloin and put it into his mouth.

delicious!

The tenderloin was medium-rare, tender and juicy, without a trace of fishy smell, which indicated that it had been cooked just right, and the time was estimated to be about a week.

Luo Zhen couldn't help being amazed, and guessed in his heart that the Chitanda family knew a particularly powerful hunter.

He raised his head and asked, "Chitanda, isn't this venison troublesome to deal with?"

"Skinning, deboning, aging, pickling." Chitanda counted them one by one with her fingers, and said, "However, herbivores are not the most difficult."

"It is true that wild carnivores, such as bears, can suffer from serious parasitic diseases if not handled properly."

"Senior Luo, do you like it?"
