Chapter 317: Xiaosi’s Simple Cooking

Radish is not only one of the most commonly used vegetables in Japanese cuisine, but it was also the most important vegetable in ancient times.

At that time, even staple food could not be guaranteed, let alone non-staple food.

Radishes are shelf-stable and rich in nutrients. Still very full. Many civilians rely on it to avoid starving to death.

Matsuo Basho, known as the wandering sage, once wrote a haiku to explain the status of radish in those days: "There is nothing else in the world but the big radish."

This means that after the chrysanthemums fade in autumn, in early winter, there will be no vegetables to eat except pickles. Only the carrots remained.

After being translated into Chinese, this haiku has no artistic conception at all and is even quite funny. However, if you look at the original Japanese text, you will find that it is indeed beautiful.

After Nao Nishida finished speaking, Kitajima was about to speak.

However, Nao smiled and raised his hand to answer.

Nishida: "Hey~hey~ I know! For Saye-chan, it's grilled turtle eggs and seafood pot!"

Bei Dao: "Really... don't rush to answer!"

Nishida: "Hey~"

Asakura: "Wait, this is a foul! Aren't there two of them? You can't do it like this! Pick one out!"

Kodera: "That's right! Which one do you like more?"

Bei Dao: "Well...these two left a deep impression on me...and every time I eat grilled turtle eggs, I have to eat them with seafood pot! Our family is like this. Mom and Dad Always do it for me.”

Yoshiyuki: "Is the seafood hot pot you eat made the same way as the sharks? Is it much different from what we usually think of?"

Bei Dao: "There's no difference."

Bei Dao: "Roasted turtle eggs, too."

Asakura: "By the way! We are very curious about this question! Are there any chili peppers at the same place?"

Bei Dao: "Yes. There are sea peppers."

Bei Dao: "Chili peppers from land are occasionally imported, but they are very expensive...and not popular."

Kodera: "Uh, is this...that roasted turtle egg delicious?"

Bei Dao: "It's delicious, isn't it?"

Bei Dao: "But it's not easy to buy this on land...and it's too expensive."

Bei Dao: "We in Quanxian Country will directly breed them. The mass-produced turtle eggs are very cheap and are a daily food ingredient. They are just like your eggs. However, they can also be eaten as rice."

Erina: "By the way, does the same person have no concept of staple food?"

Bei Dao: "It's not impossible. It's just different from your human understanding. You eat carbohydrate-rich foods such as rice and wheat as your staple food. Over there, we eat eggs and fish that are cheap, easy to fill, and lightly seasoned. Let’s wait for it to become a staple food..."

Erina: "Oh...that's it!"

Bei Dao: "In short, grilled turtle eggs and seafood hotpot go well together! I hope you will try it if you have the chance!"

Yoshiyuki: "Hearing what you said, I really want to try it...but it's really not easy to eat it on the ground. Sea turtle eggs are such a rare ingredient."

Erina: "If you want to eat the most authentic food, of course you have to eat at Kitajima's house! Hey, will we have a chance to visit your hometown in the future~"

Bei Dao looked embarrassed when he heard this.

She said she hoped so. But the sharks really don't welcome humans very much. So unlikely.

Maybe it will be okay if we have a better relationship with humans in the future.

"I really hope that day comes early!" After hearing this, Erina sighed: "I can make the Kitajima family poor!"

"Hey, even if you really go to Izumi, you should act more serious! Don't embarrass humans and the Underworld Miko!"

Erika Yida is also a highly respected hero among the same people. He is the only human being they recognize and admire.

Therefore, as Erina, the underworld shrine maiden, if she were to lose face there, the negative impact would be immeasurable.

"Well...it's my turn to say it next." Kodera patted Yukikaze Maru's head, smiled sheepishly, and said: "Well, what I want to say is really not a big deal. You may also think that The taste is very ordinary and not worth mentioning. So if I am wrong..."

"Okay, I won't hit you!" Asakura rubbed Yukikaze Maru's belly on the other side and said enthusiastically: "Speak quickly!"

"Yes. In fact, my family has always used a blender to juice fruits. One day, I had a sudden idea and poured a bowl of boiled lotus roots into the blender and smashed it..."

"Oh! We know!" Asakura immediately raised his hand and spoke: "When you drink it like this, it turns into lotus root juice, right?"

"No. Listen to me - then, I poured this bowl of lotus root paste into the miso soup! The texture suddenly became smooth and tender, which is very healing."

Kodera Makiko said this, with an expression on her face that looked like she had eaten half a dose of computer accessories.

"Um, it's surprisingly delicious, isn't it? I've been doing this often since then...it's very good, you can try it too."

"Wow..." Erina's eyes gleamed as she heard this: "Servant, give me this to eat tonight!"

"Miss, isn't what we are cooking just dinner?"

"It's only what time it is, I'm sure I'll still be hungry after eating! Make me that real dinner!"

"Okay, okay." Yi Xing smiled bitterly after hearing this.

The rest of the people also showed a strong interest in Xiao Si's way of eating.

At this time, Kodera Makiko seemed to be encouraged by everyone, so she mentioned such a thing again.

"Well, if you like to hear it, I also tried breaking the boiled pumpkin into pieces! Then, I added milk to the paste and stirred it evenly... This will turn into a simple version of cold pumpkin soup!"

"Oh! Is that delicious too?" Yingxue Qianai could hear it.

"I think so. Again, you can try it for yourself... Of course, I still think that if you can make real pumpkin cold soup, just make it. There is no need to make this lazy version."

"Hey, servant." After hearing this, Erina turned to look at Yoshiyuki who was cooking miso soup with great interest: "How do you make normal cold pumpkin soup?"

"Ah, normally, this is how it should be."

Yoshiyuki explained how he made this dish.

First, wash the pumpkin, peel and remove the seeds, and cut into pieces.

Then, steam it in a pot. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of sugar and honey on the pumpkin.

After taking it out of the pot, pour the pumpkin into the blender, add cold milk, and press the button to smash.

Next, pour the finished product into the pot and cook until it boils. Take it out of the pan and put it in the refrigerator for a while.

It doesn't taste very good when drunk hot, so just like the "cold soup" category to which it belongs, you must drink it cold to enjoy the delicious taste.

It's really troublesome to do normally. Therefore, you can also try Kodera Makiko’s simple version.

However, Yoshiyuki would never fool the eldest lady like this.
