Chapter 56: Bean sprouts
Since bringing the lost island love home, Mito Hayato's quality of life has skyrocketed, and the first thing that shows up in the quality of life is the food.
It's no longer a convenience store-bought bento box, but a hot meal every night.
There is a warmth of home.
Moreover, the level of cooking is excellent, and it is more than enough to open a set food shop on the side of the road.
"These bean sprouts taste good!"
After taking a bite of the light bean sprouts, Mito Hayato raised his eyebrows.
It's crisp and refreshing, it's not greasy, and it tastes so much better than all the bean sprouts I've ever eaten.
It is recommended to be selected for the ...... "Lonely Foodie" (known as this food TV series).
After a thrilling battle outside, being able to go home and eat such a delicious meal made Mito Hayato feel that his physical fatigue seemed to be swept away.
It is appropriate to endure pain and risk the danger of forging ahead, but the occasional combination of work and rest is also necessary, Mito Hayato knows that he is not a forger with great perseverance, otherwise he does not have to wait for rebirth to cross, if he has great perseverance, he would have succeeded in his previous life, so he especially enjoys the warmth brought by the lost island love.
"No, it tastes great, I've never eaten such delicious bean sprouts."
Lost Island Koi took a small bite of rice, and when she heard Mito's praise, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and then picked up the bowl to hide her smile: "No, it's just ordinary bean sprouts." ”
"How did you make this bean sprouts?"
The appearance of bean sprouts looks very homely, light and light, without much oil and water, simply fried, but it tastes different.
On the surface, it seems that I can do it, but I'm afraid that as soon as I get started, it will become ...... If the hand doesn't listen to the command of the brain, it really can't fry this taste.
Could it be that Ai Lost Island's extraordinary ability is to make meals more delicious, or is her father's surname Kohei?
"There's no special trick, it's just that the sprouts are fresh."
There is a little cunning in the good-looking eyes of the lost island love, and for her, who has always been timid and serious, this cunning looks very cute.
However, the cunning quickly disappeared, and she added with a slight bow of her head shyly, "These are the sprouts that have just been sent." ”
"Bean sprouts?" The last time Mito Hayato heard this description was when he was in junior high school.
In class, the teacher has taught to put the beans in a pot...... And then what happens, and after seven days, sprouts will grow out of the pot.
Anyway, he didn't try to replicate the process of restoring sprouts in the past.
But today I heard the word sprouts again, and I haven't seen it for a long time.
"Hmm......" Lost Island nodded, she put her chopsticks on the bowl, "I bought some mung beans when I was grocery shopping a few days ago...... Then I planted a handful in a pot, and the bean sprouts were ripe today, so I cut a handful of bean sprouts and fried them in a pot just now. ”
As he spoke, Lost Island went to the kitchen and brought out an old basin.
The basin is very old, but the surface is very clean by the lost island love, and her manual polishing skills are very good.
As if offering a treasure, she placed the basin in front of Mito Hayato.
The surface of the pot is covered with a layer of cloth, and the top is pressed with plate-shaped rice bought at the supermarket, and bean sprouts are pressed on the bottom.
Bean sprouts do not require soil or chemical fertilizers, and can survive and grow with water.
"Are bean sprouts underneath the cloth?"
"Hmm. Mito, do you want to take a look? Lost Island Koi blinked and looked at Mito Hayato.
"The sprouts don't grow very well after seeing the light, so I still don't see it." Seeing the round head of the lost island love, Mito Hayato finally suppressed the urge to touch it.
This kind of bad problem that you want to touch when you see a round thing must be changed.
If you see light during the sprouts, they will turn slightly red when they are ripe.
"But why do you think of planting sprouts?"
"Because...... Because. Faced with Mito Hayato's inquiry, the lost island squeaked and whined, "Because it's more economical this way." ”
"Huh?" Mito Hayato really didn't think of this reason.
Even if Lost Island Lian says that his hobby is raising bean sprouts, he can accept it.
But the only way to save money is ...... Bean sprouts are already so cheap, do you still need to save money?
It is said that vegetables and fruits are expensive, because of the protection policy of vegetable farmers in China, in order to prevent cheap foreign vegetables from impacting domestic vegetable farmers and fruit farmers, it is said that this has adopted a high tariff policy.
But among the high-priced fruits and vegetables, only bean sprouts are unique.
A pound is only a few yuan, and sometimes you can buy a pack of bean sprouts for nine yen (five or six cents) and bean sprouts for nineteen yen in the supermarket.
Only in terms of the price of bean sprouts, it is said that Ben is serious.
Mito Hayato still knows why the bean sprouts are cheap, and in the difficult post-war period, the prices of various prices have risen to the sky, and even after a series of adjustment policies, the price of vegetables is still frighteningly high.
In order to provide enough nutrition for the people, he set his sights on bean sprouts.
As long as this thing is sprinkled with a handful of green (yellow) beans, without soil and chemical fertilizer, a bunch of bean sprouts can be sent out in seven days, and a pound of mung beans can ship more than a dozen catties of mung bean sprouts, which tastes good, and is also slightly nutritious, and indoor planting is not affected by natural disasters such as typhoons.
Bean sprouts, which are easy to survive and easy to ship, have received strong support from the government, and in just a few years, bean sprout factories have sprung up in various places, transporting bean sprouts to all parts of the country, and the government has used bean sprouts to help survive the difficult period.
Under the action of inertia, cheap bean sprouts still continue to this day, and bean sprouts have become a common dish in daily life.
If you want to use any flowers to describe this, some people may think about cherry blossoms and chrysanthemums.
But when it comes to vegetables, it is definitely bean sprouts.
Bean sprouts symbolize the national nature of the book, simple and easy to survive, difficult to be affected by natural disasters, the government cuts this stubble, plant the next stubble, can quickly multiply in just a few days, and then be harvested, and then replanted.
So it's such a cheap bean sprout that no one wants in the supermarket promotion, and the lost island love is still enthusiastic and planted as a big event.
Feeling Mito Hayato's surprised gaze, Lost Island Ai bowed his head, and his face was ruddy and nervous, shy and scared.
"Yes, I'm sorry, but Mito made you smile, this is a habit when I used to live with my grandmother......"
Lost Island explained in a panic that she was too proud just now and said something embarrassing in front of Mito.
Obviously, he was careful not to make a bad impression on Mito, but he couldn't help but bring his previous bad habits with him.
Although Mito-san didn't say it explicitly, Mito must be a big family if such a big shrine and such a big mountain can be lived in by ordinary people.
The shameful thrift of a small family like himself, who even has to grow bean sprouts, will definitely be despised by Mito.
