Chapter 109: Sleeping Beauty
The increase in the collection is getting slower and slower, and it is really unbelievable. Of course, I don't want to admit that I wrote badly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A rustling sound sounded, and several examiners looked at the food on the table.
In terms of realism, Viscount Miguel and Stealing Connor are stronger than Teresa, so both of them can clearly see that there seems to be something on the cucumber slice on the plate before making a sound.
"What's that?" asked Viscount Miguel, somewhat confused.
Teresa Examiner immediately replied to him: "It's ice." ”
The other examiners were still a little puzzled, and Erica in the audience suddenly realized when she heard this.
Alice felt Erica's strange appearance under her, and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Erica explained to Alice, "I see, no wonder there is so little water coming out of his cucumber slices when they are pickled, it turns out that there is a layer of ice covering them. I think there should be ice cubes in that box, and ice water should be used to preserve the cucumbers to ensure the maximum freshness of the cucumbers. As for how to freeze the cucumber, I don't know. ”
And just as Erica explained, the cucumber on the stage changed again.
The time that the ice eye and Teresa examiner said is worth the time when the ice melts, and as the ice melts, the seasoning that was originally in the cucumber begins to play a role.
This cucumber dish looks like it's already on the table, but it's actually not finished yet, it's just kept in a frozen state. And now when the ice melts, that's when the spice comes into play.
In other words, this is the most difficult process to complete the cooking.
And when it is served, the dish is in an unfinished state.
"That's it, now is the time for the last step of the process, to let it finish naturally. Bingyan said lightly.
"Aren't you afraid we'll miss this process?" asked Captain Blake curiously.
"Then it's just that I'm unlucky. Bingyan replied indifferently.
"I'm afraid our eyes aren't enough. If we miss the best time to eat this dish, I am afraid that our ability as examiners will also be questioned. Scholar Hagus stared at the ice eye, a little dissatisfied. Anyone who is calculated like this will be a little dissatisfied, and this kind of approach is like a temptation, and it is simply not believed in their strength.
"I don't think so. Bingyan said, but his tone was not very respectful.
"Cooking can only be solved by cooking, so don't worry about that, just look at the dish. If it's a delicacy, it's worth a lot of praise. Teresa said coldly.
I agree with that. "Captain Blake first agreed, he did this when he bought Erica's bread, if Erica's bread was good, then everything would be fine, if it was not delicious, he would prepare something else.
"I agree. Let's see what this cucumber will become. Having just accepted Teresa's kindness and received a glass of wheat juice, Connor naturally raised his hands in agreement.
Several examiners looked at the cucumber slices and noticed that drastic changes were taking place on the cucumber slices.
And a scent becomes more and more intense.
"How can it be so fragrant, what kind of fragrance is this?" Alice sniffed, and even she felt that the fragrance was too far away and too fragrant.
It is the fragrance of the bread from the last time. Vera replied.
"Well, it seems that the fragrance essence is not simple, the fragrance was not so strong last time, but I think this is definitely not the reason for the increase in dose. Erica thought for a moment.
Vera nodded and said, "That's right, I didn't add much when I added the seasoning, and the amount of seasoning that can be added to the cucumber should be much less than that of bread." ”
Erica denied: "No, adding the fragrance essence should be in the front, how did he do it? Let me think about it, there are probably several possibilities." The first is that the cucumber in front of him has been added before it is cut, and it is also soaked in the way that the aroma blends in, and the second is that it seems to be integrated in while cutting the vegetables, but he did not have any superfluous movements at that time. ”
Vera thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's too fast so we didn't notice?"
"Probably not. Although Erica felt that Ice Eye was fast, it was not so fast that she couldn't see his movements at all. Suddenly, Erica's eyes lit up and she guessed, "Maybe it's on the blade?"
That's right, Ice Eye applies this fragrance essence to the blade of the knife, adds it directly while cutting the vegetables, and then masks the fragrance with ice.
Therefore, when the ice water melts and flows out, the aroma will be leaked for Erica and the others to notice.
Smelling this fragrance, Hagus took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I wasn't allowed to taste it at the beginning, but it didn't let me eat it." Just let me explore what this scent is. ”
As he spoke, he leaned closer to the cucumber in front of him, only to feel that the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, as if there was an urge to make people sleep in the past.
It was as if you could reach heaven as long as you slept in this fragrance.
"It's a little weird, even if the fragrance is very fragrant, how can it have this effect with only a little bit of application. Erica was skeptical.
Hagus on the stage seemed to be a little addicted, but was pulled by Viscount Miguel, Hagus suddenly woke up, looked at the cucumber and said in surprise: "I understand what this is." ”
Viscount Miguel asked in a friendly manner, "What's going on with this scent, has the Heggs scholar understood it?"
Hagus got rid of Miguel's grasp of his hand, carefully circled the cucumber and said, "This fragrance has changed from the spice added later, maybe it is sugar, maybe it is sesame oil, I am not sure." But I think these spices must have acted as catalysts, which is why the aroma is so strong. ”
"And what exactly is this scent?" asked Miguel.
Many of the examiners here can be said to be well-informed, but no one but Hagers can discern the source of the scent.
Therefore, Hagus also said a little proudly: "Actually, he was right not to let me eat that bread at that time, at that time I couldn't tell the fragrance just by asking, if it wasn't for the fact that the fragrance was so strong this time that I even had the idea of falling asleep, I wouldn't know what it was." ”
"Does that mean that the Hagus Scholar already knows what this thing is? Just now the Hegers Scholar said that this scent makes you want to sleep, and I have heard similar things from the previous generation of regimental leaders. I think it was a flower. Suddenly, Captain Blake spoke, "Yes, it's a man-eating flower. ”
Captain Blake seemed to be recalling what his former head had said.
Hagus nodded but shook his head and said: "It's said that it's a man-eating flower, but in fact, there are relatively few man-eating flowers, and ordinary people won't go to the jungle where those man-eating flowers are." The real food of man-eating flowers is often the animals of the jungle, and their predatory method is very simple, that is, to exude the fragrance of flowers to lure the animals in the jungle, and of course, sometimes people, to come. Then use the fragrance of flowers to make animals or people fall asleep, and these animals or humans will sleep until they die, and eventually become fertilizer for flowers. Of course, these sleeping animals or humans will also induce more animals and humans to come. Form a cycle. ”
"It's such a terrible flower!" even Viscount Miguel couldn't help but exclaim.
"The scary part is not that, in general, the cannibal flowers are mostly huge and brightly colored, which is simply something that can be seen at a glance for experienced adventurers. But this flower is completely different, and the record of the book is that this flower is very small, not one by one, but one by one, forming a flower field. ”
"Flower field?" everyone was a little unconvinced, the piranha flower always gave people the impression of being very ferocious, and it should be a plant that lived in a certain place, and this kind of piranha flower actually grew like a social animal.
Captain Blake said with a smile: "I didn't believe it once, because the previous head said so, this is a different kind of man-eating flower, sending all the prey to the paradise of sleep, whether it is animals or people in the beautiful dream land into eternal sleep." It is said that this is because there was once a beautiful girl who slept forever in this flower field, and all people and animals had to sleep with her. Therefore, this flower, it has an extremely special name. That is, Sleeping Beauty. ”
