Dimensional Medicine King

Because there was a chapter in the manga where the heroine gave chocolates to the hero, and the response was good, so he decided to ask the heroine to cook something for the hero, but then he fell into more troublesome entanglement, Because——he doesn't like pastry.

Of course, this kind of dislike is not simply disgusting, but because of 'unfamiliarity'. Simply put, he will not resist after eating it once, but when he eats it for the first time, he will feel nervous because of the strangeness, so he is not interested in pastry. Some resist.

At this time, he was sitting in his seat and kept praying, hoping that the boss would not make pastry, but at this moment the door of the kitchen was pushed open, and a burst of fragrance came.

'Not the scent of cream! '

Although he couldn't tell what it was, at least he could tell it wasn't butter, and he was unconsciously relieved, and at this moment the plate fell in front of him.

There are red and green lotus flowers and a dragonfly on the purse on the white porcelain plate, and there are six 'lotus flowers' inside the plate.

"Hangzhou snack lotus cake, please taste it."

Lan Si also took a step back after speaking, so as not to hinder the guests from tasting, while Nozaki Umetaro looked at the 'snacks' on the plate with surprise.

As a girl cartoonist, he has naturally eaten a lot of snacks, but this is the first time he has seen this one. Obviously each piece of 'lotus petals' is different, but it gives people a strange sense of harmony. As if it was supposed to grow like this.

However, as a man, although he was also surprised by his appearance, he didn't know how to do it. After all, he was also curious about the taste. After carefully taking pictures with his mobile phone, he also reached out to grab the one closest to him. that one...

"click~"

As soon as the petals touched the tongue, there was a fragrance, and then they shattered and fell into the mouth. After biting off, Nozaki Umetaro's expression became even more surprised, because he tasted the 'sweetness' at the first bite, but then continued to eat. After chewing, he found that although it was also sweet, there seemed to be many kinds of sweetness in this 'Lotus Crisp'.

In the second bite, instead of biting off one bite, he used a plate followed by the lotus flower crisps to pinch the 'petals' one by one and put them into his mouth. Soon he found that each color of 'petals' had a different taste.

With the mentality of exploring, he began to carefully recall the flavors, and soon he guessed the 'prototype' of the two colors.

"Boss, the yellow inside should be eggs and sweet potatoes, right?"

"Ok!"

"But the rest... I really can't eat it, can you tell me?"

"Of course there is no problem. In fact, it is very simple. The pink one is red yeast rice with bean paste, the green one is spinach, and the white one is egg white and sucrose."

Lan Si gave the answer without any concealment, but Nozaki Umetaro was still confused. He could understand the last one at least, and he could understand half of the first one, but the red yeast rice didn't know what it was that surprised him the most. The unbelievable thing is spinach, he has eaten this vegetable many times, but it shouldn't be so sweet in his impression?

"The boss, can you explain to me what 'red yeast rice' and 'spinach' are? I don't quite understand this..."

As he spoke, he also felt a little embarrassed. After all, he knew it was not polite to ask three or four questions when he went to eat in other people's restaurants, so after hesitating for a while, he looked around before speaking.

"Actually, I'm a manga artist, and I ordered the dishes for the purpose of collecting materials, so that... can you tell me the reason?"

Nozaki Umetaro's attitude is still very upright. After all, in his opinion, Lan Si is willing to tell him that he is lucky, but if the other party refuses to tell him, he can't complain. After all, the other party relies on cooking skills for a living.

But Lan Si nodded with a smile, and then said 'wait a moment'.

Lan Si, who went to the kitchen to fetch the ingredients, simply explained to Nozaki Umetaro.

"Red yeast rice is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a natural coloring agent. After adding water and crushing it, it becomes a 'pigment' without side effects, and it also has some 'invigorating spleen and eliminating food' effects, which is very suitable for dim sum. After all Dim sum is rarely eaten for the sake of 'satisfaction', it is a snack between meals, and red bean paste is the key to 'sweetness'."

After handing a grain of red yeast rice to Umetaro Nozaki, he picked up a 'spinach leaf', but in fact this spinach leaf is different from ordinary leaves, the uneven spinach leaf does not look very good-looking ...

Chapter 38 Is the owner of the blue company an enemy?

Seeing Nozaki Umetaro's expression of incomprehension, Lan Si actually laughed out loud.

"Don't look at it, this is just an ordinary spinach. If there is any difference, it probably has a different 'growth environment' from most spinach, right?"

"Growth environment?"

"That's right, the growing environment! The reason for the bumps on the spinach is because of the 'frost'. In order to cope with the coming winter, the spinach will store 'sugar' in the body. At this time, the spinach is sweet."

After hearing Lan Si's words, Nozaki Umetaro suddenly remembered something after being stunned for a moment.

"Ah! It seems to have been mentioned in the textbook..."

While talking, he took out a small notebook, which he usually used to record his inspiration, but when he was about to write, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lan Si with some embarrassment, his eyes were asking Lan Si.

Lan Si just smiled and nodded.

"I will be very happy if more people can understand the deliciousness of this dim sum."

Anyway, I have encountered a similar situation before, so Lan Si can be regarded as "familiar with the road" when answering, and on the other hand, after getting Lan Si's affirmative answer, Nozaki Umetaro also recorded it in his notebook with excitement.

"Although this dim sum is deep-fried, the real key lies in the 'meat oil' inside. It is precisely because of it that the dough becomes what it is after being fried. The pieces of 'fragments' are Because of the fat inside..."

Umetaro Nozaki moved his fingers quickly, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask Lan Si some "key points", and Lan Si did not hesitate to tell the other party everything, and even specially made two cups of black tea, so that the two can chat while drank.

It wasn't until Asuna in an apron pushed the door in that Nozaki Umetaro realized that he seemed to have been here for a long time.

"Boss! Thank you very much!"

After a sudden bow, he picked up the teacup in front of him.

"Gudong! Gudong!"

After the two drank all the remaining black tea in the cup, Nozaki Umetaro picked up his schoolbag, put the snack money on the table and trotted away from the small shop.

On the other hand, Asuna looked curious. Ever since she started playing "Sword Art Online", she felt that the intelligence of the NPCs in this game was very exaggerated, especially the NPC Lan Si, who seemed to her to be the same as a living person. , but she still looked at the back of Nozaki Umetaro a little strangely.

"What happened to that guest just now?"

Although Umetaro Nozaki is obviously wearing school uniforms, it is not surprising to hear from her tutor class. After all, this game has the auxiliary skill of "tailoring". In theory, it can also reproduce some outside clothes. However, most of these clothes have nothing but appearances.

Lan Si, who was clearing the table on the other side, answered Asuna's question casually.

"Maybe it's because I think you're cute, Asuna, so I'm shy? After all, boys of this age are very sensitive."
