Chapter 20: The Second Course. Creamy risotto with salad
Ay? She has good vinegar?
Why does Ellulu have good vinegar on hand?
Before Jiang Yan had time to ask.
The girl had already turned around and left quickly.
Look at her back bouncing as she runs.
I didn't know, I thought it was a cheerful deer who had returned to the grassland.
Fawn...... What an apt title.
It's a pity that such a cute fawn.
At this time, I am trapped in such a monastery, hey.
Look at the back of Ellulu in a nun's dress as she left.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but think of what Teacher Catherine had specially said.
The traditional costumes worn by the residents of Night Song.
"Let me tell you, the clothes over there are very beautiful and distinctive."
"In particular, the green leaf skirt often worn by women is naturally delicate and exudes the fragrance of lavender."
"A wide-brimmed belt made of rattan with lotus embroidery on the cuffs and skirt."
"The hair is not usually tied up tightly, but sways lightly in the wind, looking like an elf from a distance."
……
Teacher Catherine, who teaches students in Neverwinter, is a knowledgeable woman.
Although she is in her thirties, she is at an age where she should have a headache for marriage.
But I'm still very fascinated by the beautiful clothes and accessories of various countries.
By the way, this guy is also very broken-mouthed.
When I'm idle, I like to talk to people.
Thanks to her, Jiang Yan also knows a lot of customs and customs of other countries.
So at this time, I looked at the dignified and rigid back of Ellulu when she left.
Jiang Ember couldn't help but think of her wearing the costume of Night Song.
The scene when you are bouncing like a fawn on the grassland.
Ellulu is already delicate and cute.
It must be a beautiful view...... It's a pity......
Just when Jiang Ember imagined the girl's light and agile figure.
It didn't take long for Ellulu to pop up quickly.
She held up a box as if she were offering a treasure.
Inside the box are four small perfume bottle-like bottles.
"Brother Jiang Yan, can you see if these vinegars can be used?"
Although the two have not known each other for long.
But it seems to be because of the kindness of feeding just now.
Ellulu also quickly adopted the title of her brother.
Even if she and Jiang Yan are ageed, maybe who is older and who is younger.
But when my brother called out, it sounded quite pleasant.
But at this time, compared to Ellulu's cute name.
What surprised Jiang Ember even more was the four bottles of seasoning in the box.
This one...... It's all vinegar? And is it a variety of vinegars?
Pick up those bottles and taste them a little.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Unlike the poor quality malt vinegar in the monastery storeroom.
All the condiments that Elulu brought this time were high-quality condiments.
There is a "honey vinegar" made by fermenting the best honey with water.
The color is as rich as amber and the taste is very sweet and sour.
There is also "kiwifruit vinegar" made from pickled kiwifruit.
The vinegar has an elegant green color and is fresh and fruity.
Or "sugar cane vinegar" made from sugar cane.
This vinegar has a much smaller vinegar flavor, is not so astringent, and has a faint sweetness.
The most peculiar is the "black buckwheat vinegar" made from various herbs and grapes.
This thing has a deep color and a rich taste.
It feels like a mixture of balsamic vinegar and aged vinegar, and it's very high-end.
It's all good stuff...... Saved for a while.
After tasting these vinegars, Jiang Ember couldn't help but smile.
Any coleslaw dish attaches great importance to the preparation of sauces.
If you don't have a good sauce, you can spoil the flavor of the ingredients.
Westerners make cold salads, basically using olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Mix with a pinch of salt, pepper, mustard, onion, etc.
But this will obscure the original flavor a lot.
In Jiang Yan's view, it is not the best choice.
And the sauce he made himself would never be like that.
On the contrary, it will enhance the taste of the raw materials.
So after getting the best seasoned vinegar from Elulu.
Jiang Yan also began to make his first breakfast with more enthusiasm.
……
As the smoke in the kitchen grows thicker.
Before you know it, time and the sun awaken all the creatures in the monastery.
Kassandra, Lannaser, Anjie, and Yumi also arrived at the restaurant at about nine o'clock sharp.
"Good morning, everyone, and another hearty morning...... Uh, Anjie? You okay? ”
Kassandra was greeting her companions as usual.
Who knew when they were observing their companions one by one.
She saw An Jie's stinky face that seemed to be a ghoul.
Yes, early in the morning.
An Jie looked half-dead.
Her face, which had been holy, was now terrifyingly white.
Hair is messy and there is a ring of black eyeshadow around the eye circles.
“…… I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night. ”
Facing the concern of her companions, An Jie took a deep breath.
Then she glared at Lannather.
Then he sat down in his chair with stiff steps like a zombie.
Kassandra and the others certainly won't know what happened last night.
Lannather, who knew the inside story, naturally wouldn't say it.
And so the morning began in this eerie atmosphere.
"I've been waiting for you! There was something delicious this morning. ”
Under the somewhat surprised gaze of the four.
Breakfast was served to them by Ginger Ash, Curtie, and Ellulu.
I saw that Ai Lulu actually walked over from the kitchen with Jiang Yan.
Kassandra asked, somewhat surprised:
"Ellulu, you're ......"
"She helped me a little."
Jiang Yan placed the plate on the position of the five people.
While explaining with a smile:
"This meal has a fifth of her credit, and it deserves praise".
"Hey, hey, no, it's only a sixth at most."
Ellulu smiled cheerfully.
She sat down in her chair lively.
With an expectant look on his face, he looked at the two plates placed in front of him.
After putting the meal away with Curtie.
Jiang Yancai took the initiative to introduce:
This is "Coleslaw" and "Cream risotto", please use it slowly. ”
Cold mixed vegetables? Cream risotto?
Sounds ...... It looks delicious.
Looking at the dish of shredded wild vegetables in front of him.
and rice covered with white cream and mixed with some diced onions.
Even An Jie, who was about to become a ghoul, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The stomach, which had been extremely weak, gradually became active.
As the crowd began to eat, Kassandra picked up her fork as well.
She used her slender and dexterous fingers to fork some wild vegetables and elegantly put them in her mouth.
Of the five, Kassandra's etiquette was the best.
Even when she was eating, her movements were beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
But at the moment of this mouthful of wild vegetables.
That vinegar flavor is just right.
It comes out with the refreshing chewiness of wild vegetables and the natural aroma.
This also made Kassandra's eyes widen.
