Chapter 825 Do You Have some Misunderstandings About Vegetable Salads?
"The fragrance of cucumber juice has been wafting, it's such a refreshing taste." Erina Nakiri sniffed hard, "There is also the fragrance of pumpkin, which is the taste of this pumpkin bowl. The refreshingness of cucumber and the delicateness of pumpkin, the two are perfect. The flavors blend together, and it’s an unexpected match.”
Nakiri Erina stopped talking and picked up the shrimps carved from carrots. "Huh?" A cry of exclamation drew everyone's attention to Xiazi.
"What exquisite shrimps." As Nakiri Erina praised, Kobayashi Ryuto also leaned over to look at the shrimps Nakiri Erina picked up.
"Hey, don't you have one too?" Nakiri Erina said to Kobayashi Ringtong strangely.
"Huh?" After patting his head, Kobayashi Ringtone looked at his portion of food in shock. It turned out that Yukihira Soma had also prepared a portion for their three competitors. He was immediately surprised and said: "It's true!"
"Excellent knife skills," Si Yingshi looked at the shrimps he picked up. The shells of the shrimps were lifelike, and his expression also imitated them a bit. "Are the cuts on your hands caused by practicing carving?"
"Yes, Senior Siyingshi. I wasn't very skilled at the beginning, and my hands would always be hurt when carving small objects." Xingping Soma said with some embarrassment.
"Speaking of it, you have worked very hard, and this shrimp is so lifelike." Si Yingshi changed the subject, "Speaking of it, this is really a miraculous carving technique."
"Senior, I'm overly complimentary. Carvings of fruits and vegetables are usually used for decoration, and they are usually carvings with auspicious meanings such as dragons and phoenixes. However, time is limited, so I carved some small objects." Soma Yukihira took his time. Di explained, with a slight pride in his expression. After all, this is the carving skill taught to him by his father.
Although Yukihira Souma still doesn't know the true identity of his father Yukihira Joichiro, who is a contemporary master chef in the Shokuki world and a man known as "Shura", this does not hinder his admiration for his father at all.
"Hey, this shrimp is so cute, I can't bear to eat it. It looks just like the real thing." Kobayashi Ryuden exaggeratedly held his face, looking at the shrimp he picked up, "Eh?! This shrimp is so long It has to be different from what you have in your hand?" Kobayashi Ringtong was a little surprised and put the shrimp he picked up next to Nakiri Erina's chopsticks.
Sure enough, comparing the two shrimps, there are some differences in the body curvature and shape of the two shrimps. It can be clearly understood that they are two different shrimps and not replicas produced on an assembly line. It is more about giving the diners a unique food experience.
Si Yingshi also picked up the shrimps, and Tadokoro Hui on the other side said weakly, "It really looks delicious!"
Si Yingshi exclaimed: "It's really vivid."
"Oh, I can't bear to eat it." Xiaolin Gentian coquettishly said, "But if I don't eat it, I can't save it. It's so confusing."
"I'm starting." Putting her hands together, Nakiri Erina was finally ready to start.
Nakiri Erina put the shrimp into her mouth. For a moment, the aroma of carrots mixed with the sweetness of potatoes, pumpkin, and corn spread in the taste buds and occupied the entire mouth. The flavors of ingredients cooked together blend together in the same steamer, making carrots no longer a single flavor, but richer.
Nakiri Erina squinted her eyes, chewed with enjoyment, and sighed "Ah~" without realizing it.
This is... the taste of nature.
Nakiri Erina felt as if she was running in the dense woods with bare feet and a kimono yukata.
The sun shines through the leaves, and the mottled light and shadow are intertwined... The wind blows the leaves, rustling, and there are traces of birds chirping and flying by in the sky... Lowering your head, you can see fish and shrimps playing in a pool of water. It’s so lively….
I stretched my hand in the water and felt the coolness that reached my wrists. When Nakiri Erina turned around, she saw a rabbit not far away holding a carrot and gnawing it. It was so cute! He happily ran to the rabbit and approached cautiously until he held the rabbit in his arms, enjoying the soft fluff and touching the cute rabbit ears... He picked up the carrot and teased the little rabbit. Unexpectedly, the carrot was stained with some soil. I accidentally smeared it on Nakiri Erina's face... Nakiri Erina hugged the rabbit in a daze, and the rabbit stared blankly at Nakiri Erina whose face was covered with dirt... After that, she laughed loudly, A silvery laugh came.
Nakiri Erina only felt that she was very comfortable holding the rabbit, and said to the soft rabbit: "There is so much mud, haha, let's go take a bath, it's in the water next to it."
Holding the rabbit in one hand, she took off her kimono and yukata with the other hand, stretched out her feet into the water, and frightened away a group of fish and shrimps. Nakiri Erina smiled happily and ignored the fish and shrimps in this forest. Take a bath….
Ah...it's so comfortable...
Nakiri Erina took a spoon and tasted the cucumber juice carefully. Some of the fragrant taste spread in her mouth, and her whole body relaxed instantly. Closing her eyes, feeling the taste of cucumber juice, Nakiri Erina took spoonful after spoonful again. Her cold face, which had always been expressionless, remained unchanged at this moment. However, when he put another spoonful into his mouth, his eyes suddenly opened in slight surprise.
This is….?
Nakiri Erina tried her best to look at the vegetable juice in the pumpkin bowl. The freshly squeezed vegetables retain the most original taste, while the cucumber juice is covered with a layer of slightly thicker celery juice, and under the celery juice is a thicker tomato juice. Just now, when Nakiri Erina dug a little deeper with a spoon, she unexpectedly noticed a change in the taste in her mouth.
Looking around in confusion, Nakiri Erina realized that she seemed to be in a huge maze, and each level of the maze contained surprising gifts.
Nakiri Erina looked around in confusion, and suddenly a huge celery rose up from the ground around her, reaching a towering height! He looked up at the huge celery that was several people tall. The leaves of the celery were loosely spread out, and a few of them happened to rest on the top of Nakiri Erina's head.
After taking a few steps back, Nakiri Erina turned her head to look for the fragrant cucumber smell that had just drifted over, but found that her five senses seemed to have failed for a moment, and she could only feel for the direction in the maze at a loss, looking for the location to leave.
Nakiri Erina, who hates celery, stood far away from the celery, and finally couldn't feel the strong aroma of celery... But she had to leave here.
Touching the right wall of the maze, Erina Nakiri tried to leave in a predetermined direction... Not long after walking, a chubby doll walked in front of her. Her skin was white and tender, and she looked like she was hydrated. She blinked and looked cutely. To Nakiri Erina, she stretched out her arms like lotus joints, smiled and showed a few baby teeth, "hug." She stumbled over with a sweet voice.
