Chapter 138: You've Been There
Ingrid is a famous writer who once said, "Animals are my friends, and I won't eat my friends." ”
This is also the credo of many vegetarians.
Strictly speaking, vegetarian food refers to the temple cuisine that prohibits animal raw materials and meat is prohibited, commonly known as vegetarian cuisine.
In the island country, this type of cuisine is called 'shojin ryori', and it is also known as vegetarian kaiseki cuisine.
The islanders' diet has always been known for its health, and Shojin cuisine is exquisite, light and delicious, made entirely from soy products, vegetables and seaweed.
Shojin Ryori is not overly seasoned, and the cooking techniques are kept as gentle as possible, so that the appearance and taste are natural and simple, so that people can enjoy the elegance and longevity of the food.
In addition to the unique taste brought about by the cooking methods, the tableware and environment are also very particular. Bamboo leaves, bamboo boards, or irregularly shaped pottery plates are often used to highlight the simple character of Shojin Ryori's sai.
At this time, Wei Yixiao was looking at the eight dishes on the tray in front of him, speechless.
He had no idea that this famous kaiseki restaurant in the island country was actually a restaurant for fasting!!
Before Christmas, Wei Yixiao also checked on the Internet and found that this store ranked second in the hot topic of 'where to take your girlfriend for Christmas', only the largest love hotel in the island country.
Wei Yixiao took a lot of effort to get a two-person seat at this 'Shojin Ryori Daigo' restaurant and brought Su Miki over.
As a traditional and authentic island girl, Suga Miki lives in the Ishikawa family, she has a wider range of contacts, and naturally knows what kaiseki cuisine is, and after listening to Wei Yixiao and booking this restaurant, her good impression has increased greatly. Although she is not a vegetarian, she is not very fond of greasy foods except for some seafood.
This was the first date with Wei Yixiao in the real sense, and tonight's food was vegetarian, so Su Mei Mei Xi specially chose a simple and elegant beige pleated dress to come to the appointment.
Wei Yixiao's elegant and dusty temperament really surprised Wei Yixiao, and even dispelled a lot of the shadow left by Yayi Ninomiya in Wei Yixiao's heart just now.
Wei Yixiao suddenly felt at that moment that girls were too powerful creatures, one dress and one style, as long as they were happy, they would not wear the same thing every day. Unlike himself, who wears a jacket all day long, if it weren't for today's date, Wei Yixiao would never have worn this trench coat that made him very uncomfortable, let alone the thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose that he wore to dress elegantly.
Is this fairy-like woman in front of her really the bear-dressed bear who was spinning in circles in front of her last night, and the bear tail behind her butt was still swinging?
Wei Yixiao was a little skeptical of life.
。。。
"What's the matter, smile, don't you like this dish? This is the restaurant's signature dish, 'Eight Inches'." Seeing Wei Yixiao, she frowned, and couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and asked.
"We're both old husbands and wives, so I'll tell you honestly. Wei Yi smiled and said.
When Su Meixi heard Wei Yixiao's words, her face suddenly turned red again.
Knowing that he was such a character, Su Meixi didn't say anything to refute, nodded and sat aside, looking at Wei Yi and listening carefully.
"When I first came in, I had three dishes in a row, all of which were vegetarian. I was thinking that this restaurant was really interesting, let's clean up our stomach with some vegetarian dishes first, and then serve the main course for us to eat. ”
After a pause, Wei smiled and continued: "It wasn't until this 'eight inches' came up that I understood that this restaurant specializes in vegetarianism. I didn't know it before ... ”
Wei Yixiao smiled bitterly after speaking, picked up a Hanami dumpling on the small tray and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Poof... Su I Meixi couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard that Wei Yixiao was depressed about such a thing, and then she reminded softly: "Yixiao, it should be that you didn't choose a package when you booked a place before." Although this restaurant is mainly vegetarian, you can also eat meat dishes, and you just need to talk to the service staff. ”
Wei Yixiao is a meatless person, and he prefers to wear disposable gloves and munch on cumin-sprinkled lamb chops to such delicate vegetarian food.
But looking around at the surrounding environment and the atmosphere at this time, Wei Yixiao still waved his hand and said, "That's it, start and finish." Today, I'm going to accompany Miki to have a good meal of real kaiseki. I'm not a fan of vegetarian food, but I have to say that the vegetarian food at this restaurant is amazing. ”
"Take the Hanami dumplings I just ate, this must be made of potatoes, the texture is super soft and smooth, and the seaweed on the outside is amazing. Wei Yi smiled and couldn't help but taste back.
"Huh, do you like to eat this too? I also often ask the chef at home to make this for me. ”
I saw that Su I Miki suddenly picked up the small toothpick on the Hanami dumpling, and raised it a little nervously and sent it to Wei Yixiao.
"Smile, I'll feed you, ah~~~"
“!!!!”
Wei Yixiao's eyes widened, and he kept recalling a lyric in his mind: "Love comes too fast like a tornado!!"
"What's the daze, open your mouth quickly~" Su I Meixi looked at Wei Yi and looked at herself in surprise, a little embarrassed and angry.
"Ah~~~Woo~~~" Wei Yi smiled and ate the dumplings in one bite, almost swallowing a toothpick.
"Hey, be careful, there's a toothpick!" Suga Miki hurriedly reminded.
Wei Yi wiped his mouth, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Meixi, when I used to watch anime, every time I saw the male protagonist being fed by a girl, I was so envious, thinking that it would be good if I could be treated like this one day." ”
Wei Yi smiled at Su Mei Xi's flushed cheeks, and said seriously: "Today, Mei Xi can be said to have fulfilled my long-cherished wish, and for this I will also fulfill one of Mei Xi's wishes." Say it, as long as I can do it. ”
"I heard a joke saying that you like to eat Hanami dumplings, so I somehow fed you it. Also... It's not that exaggerated. As for wishes or anything, you don't need to... Seeing Wei Yixiao's serious attitude, Su Meixi suddenly panicked.
"It's okay, Mi-hee, don't be nervous. It's not a wish, it's something you want to try, like a place you want to go. I'll go with you. Wei smiled at Su Meixi and smiled softly.
Su I Meixi looked at Wei Yixiao's doting smile and the two shallow dimples on his cheeks, and suddenly thought of a sentence, and couldn't help but blurt it out directly.
"Laughing, I want to go... I want to laugh in my heart!!"
Wei Yixiao smiled even brighter when he heard this, he put his hand on Su Meixi's soft wattle, and said softly:
"Meixi, haven't you been there all the time~"
