Chapter 1198
Soon he found a target.
"Hey, little secretary, can you eat the mushrooms over there?" Yang Ming's face turned crimson and he pointed at the mushrooms that were shiny black, thick and long, and looked very reminiscent of shameful things.
"..." Nito Feishako was silent for a long time, and finally said, "No, you can't..."
In fact, it was also a type of edible fungus, but looking at its terrible appearance, Nito Feishako was worried that Yang Ming would use it to do some weird things.
"That's it!" Yang Ming's tone was full of regret.
Flammulina enoki, Hericium erinaceus, Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus eryngii, Boletus... Beside this winding mountain road, mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables are everywhere, and the backpacks are quickly filled.
"Let's go, let's find a place to cook a delicious meal!"
"But where can we find a place near here?" Yang Ming frowned slightly, "You can't light a fire in the forest, right?"
"In fact...there is the Nakiri family's villa in front..."
"..." Evil capitalism!
A heavy rain in midsummer washed away the haze in the sky, washed away the heat and scorching heat of the world, and brought vitality to this mountain forest. In the clear valley after the rain, patches of wild vegetables and delicacies grow wildly from the edge of the road and beside the creek, like first love that has quietly arrived.
While walking here, it didn't take much time for Yang Ming and the others to collect two full baskets of ingredients and start heading towards the villa hidden in the green mountains and forests.
"Welcome to the Nakiri family's "mountain villa"~"
Pushing open the copper door of the villa, Yang Ming saw the seven-eight-meter-high ceiling hall. Golden crystal lamps hung above his head, which looked particularly bright under the reflection of white marble columns. Wooden tables and chairs, colorful wall paintings, and various carefully selected small ornaments are casual yet somewhat simple and lively, making people feel more friendly. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a large lake behind, and the sunlight casts a beautiful silhouette on the water's edge through the mottled leaves.
As mentioned before, Yang Ming and Nito Hisako were resting in the living room, while Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice took two baskets of mushrooms and wild vegetables to the kitchen and began to tinker with today's lunch.
"Alice, don't put water on my face!"
"Hmph! I don't!"
Listening to the laughter coming from the kitchen, Yang Ming sat on the chair and said worriedly: "How long will it take for the two of them to finish doing this?"
"Isn't this great?" Nito Hisako, who was sitting aside, said, tilting his head.
"Um?"
"Miss Erina... she's become a little gentler..." said Nito Hisako, who was facing the direction of the kitchen and looking at her as if through the wall.
"Become a little gentler?" Yang Ming didn't know why, "Isn't Erina always like this?"
"That's not true. Ms. Erina never had any friends before. She moved around working in various restaurants every day."
"After you and Miss Alice arrived, the dark and lonely feeling in the eldest lady's body gradually dissipated."
Speaking of this, Nito Feisako chuckled and said, "Sometimes I really think it's great that you can come to Totsuki!"
"Is that so?" Faced with this sudden gratitude, Yang Ming felt a little surprised.
However, being able to come to Yuanyue to meet them is also my own luck.
"Yang Ming, little secretary, come over for dinner~" Alice Nakiri didn't forget to call back when she was carrying the dishes to the restaurant.
"I'm coming!"
"Wow! It's so rich!" Yang Ming shouted in surprise.
In a short period of time, the two eldest ladies of the Nakiri family prepared delicacies that filled the table.
When Nakiri Erina also came to the dining table, Yang Ming, who was already hungry, shouted: "Then I'm not welcome!"
"Everyone, please do as you please!"
First, he picked up the wooden bowl filled with tea-colored soup and took a sip.
The perfectly seasoned mushroom soup gently infected Yang Ming's exhausted lungs.
The ingredients in the soup are finely chopped and thoroughly cooked Coprinus comatus and King Oyster mushrooms, which they picked themselves before. No matter which mushroom is used, the soup has been fully absorbed. When you take a bite, you can not only taste the taste of the ingredients themselves, but also taste the delicious thick soup at the same time.
"It's so fresh..." It has an extremely delicious, rich and mellow complex flavor, which is independent of the taste other than sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.
"That's because mushrooms contain a lot of glutamic acid and aspartic acid, which make people feel the umami taste..." Alice Nakiri heard Yang Ming's comment, and the popular science class had just begun. , and was interrupted by Nakiri Erina:
"Eat well and talk less."
"Hmph... you are just jealous of my erudition!" Alice Nakiri said, but without stopping at all, she picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and put it into Yang Ming's bowl, and said repeatedly: "Yang Ming You should also try the bamboo shoots I made!"
"Well..." Yang Ming readily accepted Alice's kindness.
Bamboo shoots can be eaten all year round, but the types vary. The winter bamboo shoots that grow under the soil in winter and the tender spring bamboo shoots that are unearthed in spring are naturally the most tender. In this hot summer, what they dig up is just the tender bamboo shoots that grow in the soil and are called whip bamboo shoots. Just a fork.
However, due to the mild climate and abundant rainfall in the mountains, even the whipped bamboo shoots are as white as jade and have a crisp taste, making people salivate. Originally, it was sweet and light, but also had a slightly bitter taste. Due to the good control of the heat during cooking, the bitterness of the bamboo shoots reacted wonderfully with the fragrant oil, and evolved into a particularly mellow and sweet taste.
The freshly dug bamboo shoots carry the freshness of rain and dew and the fragrance of earth. They are full of the fresh and beautiful atmosphere of early summer. As soon as you take your mouth, you can feel a crisp, tender and fragrant taste suddenly bursting out in your mouth, making a crackling sound. , the longer you chew it, the taste begins to become soft and long between your lips and teeth, it is very quiet and unique.
"Speaking of which, the ancients really had the courage to eat mushrooms..." Yang Ming sighed.
"Why do you say that?"
"Generally speaking, no one would dare to eat things like morel mushrooms and ghost tumor mushrooms, right?"
It's so ugly, with weird colors and textures, and someone actually found it edible!
"I think I was forced to have no choice, just like the first person to eat crabs..." Nakiri Erina said.
"Then the first person who discovered that milk is drinkable, what did he do to the cows?" Yang Ming made a thoughtful expression.
"Okay...you should also eat quietly for me!"
