Chapter 63: The Bane of a Pot of Soup
Perrault smiled slightly, picked up the pork leg in front of him and sniffed it, then frowned, and put it aside, as an elder among the sea clan tortoiseshells, he does not eat meat, because this does not conform to his concept of longevity.
"In the eyes of Lord Count Gabrien, maybe this is a rare delicacy, right?" he put down the leg and looked at Sidan: "Of course, this is indeed very rare in the eyes of all sea tribes, but I think this kind of food is not rare on land, bread, rum, barbecue, fruit, well, forget that Lord Count Gabling is not a vegetarian. ”
"Old fellow, if you have anything to say, don't go around here, I said, as long as it doesn't go against His Highness's will, you can convince me, and I can do it for you. ”
Si Dan swallowed his saliva, although he was extremely moved by Perrault's description in his heart, he looked extremely impatient on the surface.
"I want Your Excellency to challenge the knightly commander of the orc prince of the Red Leaf Collar and crush him, showing the strength of my sea clan. Perrault raised his head and leaned back slightly: "I think this is not a difficult thing for His Excellency the Earl, who is known as the warrior of the Sea Clan, right?"
"But this is in conflict with His Highness's will, right?" Si Dan opened his mouth.
"Mr. Earl, does Your Highness have a will not to challenge those orcs?
"Haha, old thing, I'm not convinced by you, but I do obey you for your ability to exploit loopholes. ”
"Then the Earl agreed?"
"You said it, Elder?"
........
........
It's raining on the autumn leaves, and it's been raining continuously for two days, and the red sky is overcast.
Chen Ye leaned back in his seat, looking at the hazy outline of the castle outside the window, his brows furrowed. It's not uncommon for it to rain in the wasteland, but it's just that the rain comes too late, and when it gets heavier, it's not a good thing for the cement buildings that have just been built. The cement in the concrete is very easy to run away with rainwater.
Although he wanted to stop the construction, he didn't have much time to waste when he thought about the autumn autumn leaf collar, and he had to cancel the idea of stopping the work when this idea came out in his life.
"Forget it, let's wait. He sighed slightly: "Maybe this rain will pass soon." ”
Although this idea is somewhat unrealistic, after all, there is no weather forecast in this world.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?
The clear voice interrupted Chen Ye's thoughts, and Ari didn't know when he walked behind him, blinking her beautiful purple eyes and asked.
"Uh, Eri, are you back?" Chen Ye turned around: "I'll see if the cute little Eri has picked any mushrooms?"
Mushrooms also exist in this world, but the hard-to-swallow taste of raw mushrooms has always made this delicacy a forbidden product on the table in this world.
"Your Highness, can you really eat this thing you said?" Ai Rui obediently handed over the small basket in his hand: "I heard Sister Ruolan say that this thing is difficult to swallow, and people will only eat it when food is extremely scarce. ”
Obviously, this little girl from the Dier clan was very suspicious of Chen Ye.
"I can prove it to you, little Ari. ”
Chen Ye lifted the cover on the basket, carefully selected, and threw out a few of the mushrooms that were too brightly colored, although he didn't know how likely these brightly colored mushrooms were to be poisonous, but according to experience, this kind of mushroom was definitely not suitable for consumption.
There is a kitchen on the carriage, and since Ari appeared, the kitchen has always been Eri's territory, and Chen Ye is also the first time to walk in.
A small space that is not a wide space, with one side for storing ingredients and one side for operations. He washed the mushrooms, glanced at Eri, who was unblinking, and smiled.
On a rainy day, he has nothing to do, and he hasn't been in the kitchen for a long time, especially after becoming a prince, the kitchen is actually not much different from the forbidden land in the eyes of the nobles. Of course, this is also an excuse for a lazy patient with advanced cancer.
He placed the washed mushrooms one by one on the clean counter, searched for a while on the knife rack in the kitchen, picked out a smaller knife, pulled a knife flower, and tried his hand, although he had not touched these things for a long time, but the feeling that seemed to be engraved in his memory had not diminished in the slightest.
Slice the mushrooms, he rummaged for a while in the storage room where the ingredients were stored, and found some vegetables, which were bought from the Xibu people, although they were not very fresh for long-distance transportation, but fortunately, the weather was no longer hot, and these vegetables could be stored for a long time.
Gastronomy is made by combining various ingredients to combine their unique flavors, a process that, according to one polytechnic student, can be seen as a chemical reaction, just as oxygen and hydrogen produce water.
Of course, in food, maybe this chemical reaction is a little more complicated.
A pot of vegetable soup slowly wafts out the aroma under Chen Ye's not very professional operation, and the umami of mushrooms undoubtedly makes the ingredients in the vegetable soup that are not very fresh burst out with unimaginable deliciousness.
"Your Highness, it smells so good. Ari's eyes widened, staring at the iron pot: "But how can the vegetable soup be so fragrant? ”
"Well, this fragrance is actually the mushroom scent of Little Erice. Chen Ye took a spoon from the side, scooped up a spoonful of mushrooms and soup and handed it to Eri: "Come, little Eri will taste His Highness's craftsmanship." ”
"Uh-huh, Your Highness is amazing. Ari blinked her big purple eyes, which shimmered with a sparkling light, and although she hadn't tried it yet, she didn't hesitate to praise it.
She took the spoon, slowly brought it to her mouth, carefully blew the hot air, took a gentle sip along the edge of the spoon, then suddenly closed her eyes, and after half a ring, she opened them, she looked at the spoon again, and suddenly poured it all into her mouth again at a very fast speed.
"Hmm~!"
Food is always regardless of race and region, and its pleasure is often to let those who enjoy it feel the whole body pleasure brought by the sense of taste, just like a journey of the soul, which is the enjoyment of the sense of taste, and Ari is enjoying it at the moment.
"Your Highness, can I taste it again?" She blushed slightly, looked at Chen Ye pitifully and said, "I drank it too fast just now, and I didn't have time to feel it before I could feel it." ”
Her big purple eyes seemed to be able to speak at this time, unblinking, making it difficult for people to raise any refusal, well, of course, Chen Ye said that she would never refuse any reasonable request from a cute girl.
"Of course that's fine, Miss Ari!" he said.
"Your Highness, you are so good~!"
Well, Ari admits that she has been captured by the food in front of her, and this delicious food is really hard to make people have any determination to resist, and of course, for a snack seller, this determination should not be had.
Well, His Highness is the most powerful, and he can even make such a delicious vegetable soup, and Ari thought to himself, if only he could drink it every day in the future.
