Chapter 24: Erina's Luxurious Breakfast
"Erina is an adult!"
Before Lin Yu could figure out what to do, Feishazi let out a scream, his body turned into a shadow, and quickly rushed to Lin Yu.
He looked at Erina Nakiri who had fainted in Lin Yu's arms, at a loss. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, turning around and around, not knowing what to do.
Surrounding Lin Yu, wanting to touch but not daring to.
"What should I do? Is Lady Erina okay?"
Looking at the anxious secretary, Lin Yu bent down and picked up the unconscious Erina in a princess hug, comforting her while giving her a solution.
"She's fine. She probably didn't sleep well, and her blood sugar might be low, plus she got a little stimulated, so she fainted temporarily. She should be fine after she rests for a while."
As a fellow Nen user, Lin Yu knew there was nothing wrong with Erina's body just by looking at the powerful Nen energy on her body.
After hearing this, Feishazi seemed to have gained a backbone in an instant. She immediately felt at ease and once again displayed the shrewdness and courage of a personal secretary.
"I understand, Lord Lin Yu, please follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside, acting as a guide.
Looking back at Nakiri Senzaemon, she saw the old man sitting at the dining table calmly, oblivious to everything that was happening. Lin Yu had no choice but to hold Erina and follow Hisako's pace.
Following Feishazi, we went around and around and finally arrived at a big door.
"This is Lady Erina's room, Lady Lin Yu please follow me."
Feishazi introduced while opening the door casually.
Because it was Lin Yu, she didn't consider at all whether it was inappropriate to let a man into Erina-sama's boudoir.
Feishazi didn't care, so Lin Yu naturally wouldn't be pretentious.
Holding Erina, he followed Hisako through the gate.
Suddenly, a dreamlike princess room came into view.
The overall color is light pink, and huge bed curtains hang from the ceiling, decorating the room like a fairy tale world.
Crystal chandeliers of all sizes remove the slightly childish look of the room caused by the fairy-tale princess and make the room look more noble and elegant.
PS: Please refer to the pictures for specific details.
Smelling the faint fragrance coming from the girl herself, Lin Yu held Erina and walked to the bed step by step.
"alright!"
After putting Sleeping Beauty on the bed, Lin Yu stood up and prepared to leave.
With Feishazi around, he obviously doesn't need to worry about the follow-up care.
It's not like the prince needs to kiss the princess to wake her up; the secretary will take care of everything.
As he stepped out of the room, Lin Yu turned back again and took an admiring look at the girl's dreamy and gorgeous boudoir, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Perhaps, we can prepare a room for Xiaolan and Xiaoai according to this layout."
There must be no girl who would not like a house like this.
Leave the boudoir and return to the living room according to memory.
Nakiri Senzaemon didn't care that Lin Yu came back alone.
Without asking what happened in between, he warmly invited Lin Yu to sit down in the restaurant.
The dining table was filled with a variety of breakfast dishes.
Lin Yu can name the crab roe soup dumplings, crystal braised pork, deep-fried spring rolls, stuffed eggs, white porridge, pan-fried buns, steamed dumplings...
There are four or five more kinds that I can't name.
"Thank you for all the preparations, Commander Nakiri."
Sitting down at the guest seat at the table, Lin Yu politely thanked Nakiri Senzaemon.
Seeing this, Nakiri Senzaemon quickly waved his hand to signal,
"Mr. Lin Yu has misunderstood. This is not my work. It is the work of Erina-chan and Hisako."
"this..."
Suddenly, Lin Yu was stunned.
The luxurious breakfast is a delicacy that the chef has put a lot of effort into making with great care.
Especially some of them, which require slow and careful work, I am afraid they must have been prepared last night in order to be served at this time.
The quantity is so large and the variety is so complicated.
Two girls, with no one to help, might have stayed up all night to finish the task.
"No wonder Hisako looks so tired. Erina also looks like she's been running too much."
"That's thoughtful."
Although she didn't say anything, Lin Yu kept in mind the delicious meal that the two girls had spent a lot of time and effort to prepare.
At this moment, he finally understood what the ancients said.
If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
Who wouldn't like a girl who racks her brains and spends a lot of time and effort to prepare food carefully according to your taste when you meet her for the first time?
Seeing that Lin Yu was silent, Nakiri Senzaemon, as the host, quickly greeted him.
"Lin Yu-kun, try Erina-chan's cooking and see if it suits your taste."
The old and shrewd Nakiri Senzaemon seemed to have said nothing, but it also seemed as if he had said everything.
"Thank you very much."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do and politely performed the pre-meal etiquette.
Lin Yu picked up the plate in one hand and chopsticks in the other, picking up a soup dumpling from the steamer in front of him.
The crystal clear skin has an extremely toughness that is inconsistent with its appearance of being easily broken by a poke.
Holding the top with chopsticks, like lifting a water ball, the soup dumpling trembles and leaves the steamer.
As the chopsticks move, the surface of the soup dumpling ripples and seems like it may explode at any time.
But until the soup dumpling falls into the bowl, the tough skin always firmly locks in the deliciousness inside.
Soup dumplings are different from steamed buns.
The outer skin of the buns is fluffy and soft, like a thick quilt wrapping the rich fillings.
Because soup dumplings need to seal in the soup and fat inside, they need a tough gauze similar to dumpling skin to gently wrap the deliciousness inside.
"I'm starting!"
Open your mouth, make a small bite in the skin, and suck gently.
Suddenly, an extremely fresh, fragrant and rich broth flowed into the mouth through the gap.
"So fresh and fragrant."
It is so delicious that you can't stop sucking it.
Even the two gourmets seemed to have turned into babies at this moment, concentrating on sucking the white and tender soup dumplings in front of them.
The two of them stopped at the same time until the full soup dumpling was sucked down to half deflated.
"It's impeccable, with the delicious crab roe, the fresh fragrance of the ham, and the carefully prepared broth made from the shank bone."
"Pig, chicken, and crab are a perfect blend of the best of land, sea, and air. It's simply a supreme feast."
He praised the food highly, but unlike Nakiri Senzaemon who was so overwhelmed by the deliciousness that his clothes were ragged, Lin Yu only felt the ultimate enjoyment and did not exaggerate to the point of bursting into tears.
After calmly putting on his clothes, Nakiri Senzaemon glanced at the calm Lin Yu and sighed in his heart:
"As expected of God, little Erina. It looks like you still need to work hard."
Not knowing what was going on in Nakiri Senzaemon's mind, Lin Yu was wholeheartedly focusing on the delicious food in front of him.
This was the best food he had ever tasted in two lifetimes.
After tasting the delicious soup, Lin Yu stretched out his chopsticks, picked up the whole crab roe soup dumpling and put it into his mouth.
"It's delicious, the soup is fresh and tasty, and even the bun skin is chewy. The combination of the two is a unique enjoyment."
After tasting the crab roe soup dumplings, Lin Yu reached out his chopsticks towards the stack of crystal braised pork.
Crystal braised pork originated in Zhenjiang.
Because its meat is red and its skin is white, it is smooth and crystal clear, and the marinated jelly is transparent, just like crystal, so it is named crystal braised pork.
Crystal braised pork has a rich aroma and mellow taste.
Once you eat this, you can't stop using your chopsticks.
"The meat is tender, the marinated jelly is flexible, fragrant and tender without being greasy, refreshing and appetizing, not bad, not bad."
"Especially when paired with shredded ginger and balsamic vinegar, it helps relieve greasiness and stimulate appetite, and it has a whole new flavor."
"The fried spring rolls are crispy on the outside and the fish filling inside is delicate and refreshing…"
