Chapter 1208
Soon he found a target.
"Now, little secretary, can you eat the mushrooms over there?" Yang Ming's face turned crimson, pointing to the mushrooms that glowed black and shiny, thick and long, and looked very reminiscent of shameful things.
"......" Xinhu Scarlet Shazi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "No, you can't ......"
In fact, it is also a type of edible mushroom, but looking at the bad appearance, Xinhu Scarlet Shazi is worried that Yang Ming will use it to do some strange things.
"That's it!" Yang Ming's tone was full of regret.
Enoki mushroom, lion's mane mushroom, white spirit mushroom, king oyster mushroom, porcini mushroom...... Next to this winding mountain road, mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables are everywhere, and the basket is soon filled.
"Let's go, let's find a place to cook a good meal!"
"But around here, where can you find a place?" Yang Ming frowned slightly, "You can't make a fire in the forest, right?"
"In fact...... In front of it is the villa of the Nagi family......"
"......" Capitalism of all evils!
A heavy rain in midsummer washed away the haze in the sky, washed away the heat and heat of the world, and brought vitality to this mountain forest. In the clear valley after the rain, patches of wild vegetables and mountain treasures from the trail and the stone crevices, like a quiet first love, secretly poked their heads out to stretch their waists, and grew up crazy.
Walking here, it didn't take much effort for Yang Ming and the others to collect two baskets full of ingredients, and began to walk towards the villa hidden in the green mountains and forests.
"Welcome to the mountain villa of the Nagi family~"
Pushing open the bronze villa door, the seven or eight meter-high hall meets Yang Ming's eyes, and the golden crystal lamp hangs above his head, which looks particularly bright under the reflection of the white marble columns. Wooden tables and chairs, colorful wall paintings, and all kinds of carefully selected knick-knacks, but they are simple and bright in the casual, which makes people feel more intimate. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a large lake behind, and the sunlight casts beautiful silhouettes on the water's edge through the dappled foliage.
As mentioned before, Yang Ming and Shinto Scarlet were resting in the living room, while Erina Nagikiri and Alice Nagi took two baskets of mushrooms and wild vegetables to the kitchen and began to make up for today's lunch.
"Alice, don't get water in my face!"
"Hmph!
Listening to the laughter coming from the kitchen, Yang Ming sat on the chair and said worriedly, "When will the two of them finish doing this?"
"Isn't that great?" said Scarlet Sako, who was sitting next to him, tilting his head.
"Huh?"
"Miss Erina...... It's getting a little gentle......" said Scarlet Sako, Shinto, who was looking at the kitchen as if through the wall.
"Getting a little gentler?" Yang Ming didn't know why, "Hasn't Erina always been like this?"
"No, in the past, Erina-chan never had any friends, and she worked at various restaurants every day. ”
"After you and Miss Alice arrived, the dark and lonely feeling in the eldest lady dissipated little by little. ”
Speaking of this, Shinto Scarlet chuckled and said, "Sometimes I really think it's great that you can come to Yuanyue!"
"Is that so?" Yang Ming felt a little surprised by this sudden gratitude.
However, it is also my own luck to be able to meet them in Yuanyue.
"Yang Ming, little secretary, come over for dinner~" When Alice took the food to the restaurant, she didn't forget to turn around and call out.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Wow, it's so hearty!" Yang Ming shouted in surprise.
In a short period of time, the two eldest ladies of the Nagi family made a delicious meal that filled the table.
When Erina Nagikiri also came to the table, Yang Ming, who was already hungry, shouted, "Then I'm welcome!"
"Let's go to the toilet, everyone!"
First, he picked up the wooden bowl containing the brown soup and took a sip.
The mushroom soup, which was seasoned just right, gently infected Yang Ming's tired heart.
The ingredients in the soup are finely chopped and boiled chicken leg mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms and other things, which they have picked themselves. No matter what kind of mushroom you have, you can enjoy not only the flavor of the ingredients themselves, but also the delicious soup as well.
"It's so fresh...... is an incomparably delicious, rich, mellow complex flavor that is independent of the taste other than sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.
"That's because mushrooms have a lot of glutamic acid and aspartic acid, these are the existence of umami that makes people feel the umami ......" Nagi Alice heard Yang Ming's evaluation, and the popular science class had just started, but was interrupted by Erina Nagi cut
"Eat well and talk less. ”
"Hmph...... You're just jealous of my erudition!" Alice Nagi said, without stopping at all, picking up a piece of bamboo shoots and putting them into Yang Ming's bowl, and said in a loud voice, "Yang Ming, you can also taste the bamboo shoots I made!"
"Well......" Yang Ming gladly accepted Alice's kindness.
Bamboo shoots can be eaten all year round, but the types vary. The winter bamboo shoots that grow under the soil in winter, and the tender spring bamboo shoots unearthed in the spring are naturally the most fleshy, and in this hot summer, all they dig are the tender branches of bamboo that grow in the soil and are called whip shoots.
However, due to the mild climate in the mountains and the abundant rain, even the bamboo shoots are as white as jade and have a crisp taste, which makes people salivate. Originally, there was a slight bitter taste of bamboo shoots in the sweetness, but due to the good control of the heat during cooking, the bitter taste of bamboo shoots reacted wonderfully under the mixture of fragrant oils and fats, and evolved into an extraordinarily mellow sweet and umami taste.
The freshly dug bamboo shoots with the freshness of the rain and the fragrance of the earth, full of the fresh and beautiful breath of early summer, just in the mouth, you can feel a crisp and tender fragrance of the taste suddenly burst out in the mouth, clicking, the longer you chew, the taste begins to grow soft and long between the lips and teeth, it is very light and chic.
"Having said that, the ancients really had the guts to eat mushrooms...... Yang Ming sighed.
"Why do you say that?"
"Things like morel mushrooms, ghost tumor mushrooms and the like, generally speaking, no one should dare to eat them, right?"
That ugly look, strange colors and textures, someone actually found it edible!
"I guess I was forced to be helpless, like the first person to eat crabs...... "Erina Nagi said.
"The first person to discover that milk can be drunk, what did he do to cows?" Yang Ming made a thoughtful expression.
"Alright...... You can give me a quiet meal, too!"
