Chapter 225 Taste
Don't tell me, she actually found it.
If we say that the previous "clouds are green and ready for rain" was mainly dark green tones that conveyed the feeling of an impending storm, then the one we found, "water is rippling with smoke", is the calmness of dark blue tones.
In order to match the "water" in the name, she also specially chose a photo of river water.
A blue road sign sticks out from the bank of the river. Also sticking out is a clump of branches, lush and complicated, hanging down in a tangled mass, and there are just circles of ripples on the water.
She also clarified the idea of coloring this dark blue, and simply cropped the picture. After adjusting the color, she was still not satisfied.
After thinking over and over again, she tried again and again, and simply zoomed in and cut out all the signs with the same blue tone that she originally wanted to keep, leaving only the ripples on the water and a few branches.
This time it was much better, the picture was purer, the originally green and black river water was turned into dark blue, and the texture of the water looked smoother and heavier.
It is exactly like "the water is full of smoke".
Today I created two new presets with the same names. She liked them very much. She also found some pictures and imported them. She added them to the presets and tried them. The results were very good.
After playing with the color adjustment for a while, she then sorted out the photos. She held her notebook and scrolled around on the screen, and finally lay down lazily.
I don’t want to be busy, I just want to lie down and watch a show.
Then let's project a drama. It's a TV series. She had watched a few episodes before but didn't finish it. At that time, she thought it was too bland and she couldn't get interested in watching it. But now she feels like she can continue watching it.
It is a very gentle TV series, mainly about the daily life of the protagonist in a quiet town.
The length of an episode is not very long, half an hour or nearly forty minutes, just enough to pass the time.
The plot is indeed gentle, but she especially likes the unique style of the exotic town and the melodious background music. The house she lives in is also made of wood, green plants and red bricks, which has a pastoral feel.
While watching, I ate the french fries from time to time in space, and gradually became fascinated by it.
When she was called back to reality by the alarm clock at dinner time, she still felt uneasy about being interrupted.
Just, I can’t help but spurn my former self, do you have any taste? I haven’t watched such a good drama yet!
I pressed pause, and after I finished picking out what I wanted to eat for dinner, I continued to put down the meal.
This made the already perfunctory dinner selection even more impatient.
The spicy stir-fried rice cakes and fried foods I ate at noon were relatively heavy on oil and seasoning, so my appetite was suppressed at night and I wanted to eat something light and convenient.
Then just eat something that can be eaten directly with your hands.
She rummaged through the space, looking for burgers, bagels, sandwiches, and tacos, all of which she could add to her dinner list.
After some further sifting, I chose a large, sturdy double-fried chicken and pineapple burger as the main item, supplemented by a grilled beef cheese tart with onions, and a light shrimp, egg, and avocado sandwich to clear my mouth.
Finally, add a blueberry bagel spread with blueberry cheese and fresh berries for dessert.
As for the drink, she originally thought it could be paired with coffee, but since it was dinner, she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night after drinking coffee, so she changed it to ice-cold orange juice.
The orange juice is slightly bitter, sour and sweet, take a few sips to appetize, and then peel off the wrapper of the burger.
Between two perfectly round burger embryos, there are two golden fried chicken steaks, and between the two golden fried chicken steaks, there is a thick slice of watery yellow pineapple.
Above and below are finely chopped lettuce sprouting, and you can see that there is orange-red salad dressing inside.
Among the "hand-held snacks" she chose, this burger was the largest. The large bun already determined that the overall burger was not small, but the fried chicken steak that broke through the bun made it even bigger.
The next thing is the sandwich. In the middle of two pieces of soft white toast is a soft smooth egg with black peppercorns visible. On top is a layer of thinly sliced avocado, and then topped with shrimp.
They are all takeaways ordered with golden fingers, but it can be seen that the portions are still very solid, and the shrimps are big and fresh. When eating, I found that there was a layer of green sauce on the bread, which was probably guacamole.
She didn't know how it was made, but when she ate it, she felt it had a refreshing lemon flavor and a milky flavor.
The tacos were not big, but had the richest seasonings. She ordered soft-bread tacos that were easy to eat and would not fall apart. They were mainly stewed beef cubes, soft and tasty, with a curry flavor.
In addition, there are extra fried purple-skinned onion strips, which are just cut off and still retain the crisp and sweet taste of the onions, and there is also a bit of spiciness.
But purple-skinned onions are inherently sweeter, and after cooking, the spiciness is even weaker. Putting them together with beef not only increases the taste but also relieves the greasiness.
That's not all. On top of the onions and beef, there is an extra layer of cheese. The amount is not much, but the taco is not big, so this little cheese is enough to look good.
As she ate, she tasted a light sour and spicy taste. It probably didn't come from the beef stew, and it didn't go well with the onions. It felt like it was an additional sauce, which was very satisfying.
After eating these three, she could feel that her stomach was full, but that one was very tempting in appearance, not to mention it was the only bagel she made herself, so she really didn't want to give up.
The bagel itself was copied from a bakery. Before her death, she followed a recipe online and picked out a blueberry cheese bagel.
Cut in half, the bread was the color of blueberries and there were blueberry berries inside. She still remembered that she couldn't help but gnaw the other half.
Making your own cheese is very simple. Just stir the cream cheese for breading until soft, add blueberry jam to it and mix well.
Speaking of which, she copied this blueberry jam from a handmade jam shop - even before that, she didn't know that there was a store that only sold jam.
This store was in a large shopping mall, and she saw it when she was sorting out items from door to door. The decoration of the store was very fairytale-like.
At first she thought it was a children's paradise, with all the bright colors. Looking again, there were many glass jars covered with plaid cloth. When I looked into the glass jars, I saw that they were making jam.
She doesn't often eat jam and is not very familiar with it, but this one tastes really good, sweet but not greasy, with the refreshing and sour taste of fruit.
It’s great spread on bread, or mixed into cheese like this.
Spread the blueberry cheese on the blueberry bagel, place a plate on top, top it with fresh blueberries, raspberries, and thinly sliced strawberries, and you have a sweet berry bagel.
The orange juice she chose was mainly prepared for the two big meat dishes, fried chicken burgers and beef tacos. Now that she was craving something sweet, she took out a carton of fresh milk and ate it slowly.
