Komatsu's Love Defense

Under Coco's meticulous care, I finally recovered. Three days later, I said goodbye to Coco and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking the century soup.

My colleague had saved the eels that I hadn't finished processing. When my colleague asked me where I had been these days, I had to lie and say that I was looking for food.

I started to process the eel again, adding an appropriate amount of water and ginger. After removing the fishy smell from the processed fish bones, I used them to make the base soup.

The boiling water began to boil, and layers of foam appeared. I carefully skimmed it off with a spoon. Then, I began to add herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Poria cocos, Euryale ferox, Coix seeds, etc., and then boiled the soaked steak and kelp together.

To make the soup richer and more mellow, I added some mackerel, pork bones, shiitake mushrooms and lemon peel.

The foam in the soup increased, and I patiently skimmed it all off. For the next two weeks, I did not leave the kitchen.

I was almost writing down the recipe from my memory in a notebook while I was cooking the soup of the century. But when I tried the soup, it still didn't taste right.

The Walleye penguin chick ran into the kitchen door. I turned and looked at it. It would come over almost every day and wait for me to finish cooking.

I squatted down, gently stroked the head of the Walleye penguin chick, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely make the century soup in my memory!"

I stood up and stared at the soup in the pot, lost in thought. Although I remembered the ingredients for Setsuno's century soup, her kitchen was filled with ingredients discovered 100 years ago.

Although the ingredients of the 21st century and the ingredients of this world have many similarities, the taste is very different. I must use the ingredients of the 21st century and combine them with the ingredients of the gourmet world to make the century soup!

In the following time, I frequently ran back and forth between the vegetable market and the kitchen, devoting myself to cooking.

March passed in a flash. I was in the kitchen using a strainer to filter out the freshly cooked soup. The soup was crystal clear after being filtered through the strainer.

I scooped a spoonful and took a sip, and a warm and rich flavor instantly spread.

First, you can feel the rich soup base, which flows through your mouth like silk. Then, the flavors of various ingredients gradually emerge, including the deliciousness of meat and the freshness of vegetables.

I always felt like something was missing, so I had to ask Jie Nai for help. I packed the soup I made in a gourmet box and brought it to Jie Nai's cafeteria.

As night fell, I walked into the canteen and saw Jie Nuo standing in the kitchen, seemingly waiting for me.

I scratched my head lightly and greeted Jie Nai: "Hello, Grandma Jie Nai!"

Setsuno put her hands behind her back, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth deepened with a smile: "Woohoo, I knew it was about time you came to see me, Komatsu."

I stood at the door, holding the food box hanging around my neck, and asked Jie Nai to help me taste it: "This is the soup I'm making at this stage. Please help me taste it."

"Oh, you are really impatient. You have such dark circles under your eyes, come in quickly!" Jie Nai walked out calmly and wiped the table with a rag.

I quickly walked into the cafeteria and handed the food box to Setsunori. Setsunori took the food box and placed it on the table that had just been cleaned.

Jie Nuo pressed the switch of the gourmet food box and opened the lid: "I really can't do anything about you. Young people are always too quick to draw conclusions."

I sat on the stool and didn't say anything. Instead, I asked Qi Jie Nai about the time it took to make the century soup: "Grandma Jie, how long did it take you to make such a delicious century soup?"

"As for me, come to think of it... about thirty years!" Setsunori slowly scooped a spoonful of soup from the gourmet box and took a sip.

I was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Grandma Jie No, it took you so long to make the Century Soup, how long will it take me?"

Setsuno smiled and pointed out the ingredients that needed to be added to the soup. I listened carefully to every ingredient she mentioned.

After Jieno told me all the missing ingredients, it was already late and she planned to send me out of Jieno Canteen.

I stood at the door with a food box in hand and bowed to Jie Nuo: "Thank you so much for your careful guidance!"

Setsuno's figure was slightly hunched under the light, and her wrinkled face was filled with a special gentleness: "Xiaosong, maybe you don't need to ask me for advice anymore... You must never forget that it is always the ingredients that choose us chefs."

"As long as you listen quietly and hear the voices of the ingredients, the ingredients will surely lead you to the correct cooking methods. In your words, the ingredients have already compromised with you, and they will surely tell you something." Jieno's smile was so sincere and deep.

My eyes sparkled with determination: "Grandma Jie Nai, I will definitely be able to make the soup of the century!"

Jie Nai's eyes were full of expectation and trust in me: "Go quickly and make the real soup of the century!"

The system's electronic voice sounded: "Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining the recognition of Jie Nuo. The reward is 50 points of cooking skill. The current cooking skill is 90 points. The information of Jie Nuo and Jiro is being announced..."

After thanking Jie Nuo, I turned around and left Jie Nuo's cafeteria happily, feeling very happy. With Jie Nuo's recognition, I felt that I was one step closer to the soup in my memory!

When I got back to the Gourmet Hotel, it was already late. I put on my apron and walked into the kitchen, which was filled with the ingredients I had bought some time ago.

A stout, light gray-brown pelican stands firmly on the table. Its beak is wide and straight, with the tip of the upper beak curved downward like a hook, and the lower beak has a large expandable throat sac that can stretch and retract freely.

This pelican was carefully selected by me a few days ago. At this moment, delicious broth was flowing out of its mouth, exuding an alluring aroma. The broth flowed out of its mouth like nectar, and I carefully caught it with a bowl, fearing that a drop of this rare delicacy would be wasted.

I picked it up and walked over to the soup pot, which had been cooked with many ingredients from the world of gourmet food. I followed the 21st century method of making soup and added medicinal herbs.

I used ginseng, cinnamon, rehmannia, white peony, chuanxiong, angelica, astragalus, atractylodes, poria, licorice and other medicinal materials to boil them first, filter the medicinal materials, and then make soup with the ingredients from the food world.

I added the pelican broth and slowly stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon. The aroma was an indescribable rich fragrance, with the herbs and ingredients blending together. It had the mellowness of the herbs and the freshness of the ingredients, deep and bright, simple and modern.

I scooped up a spoonful of the soup and took a sip. The meat exuded a rich meaty aroma, the seafood brought the freshness of the ocean, and the vegetables harmonized the overall taste with their unique fresh taste.

The fragrance spreads in the mouth, nourishing every taste bud, and the aroma of ingredients and medicinal materials are perfectly combined.

Suddenly, a strong emotion surged into my heart like a tide. My eyes became hot and tears quietly fell.

My hands trembled slightly, as if I had touched a long-forgotten emotion. It was a familiar and warm breath, containing the sweetness of mother's love and the depth of father's love.

"Success..." I didn't look up, nor did I wipe away my tears. I just sat there quietly and let the tears flow freely.
