LimeGreen_Suo Xiang short story collection

The sky was not clear, and the forest was full of damp and gentle atmosphere. The wind turned up the golden-red leaves, and the distant scenery was gradually blurred in the layers of light fog.

The girl dressed in red and vermilion dress walked towards the flame-like and beautiful giant tree in front of her. She bent down and bowed deeply, holding the five-color colored silk in both hands and putting it on the long wooden table. Song. The girl’s voice is gentle and serene in the mountains and forests, reminiscent of gurgling water. Accompanied by her singing, twenty young people walked out from the crowd. They sang softly with the girl, holding colored silk After circling the giant tree for a full circle, they offered the colored silk in their hands on the table. After that, the young people stepped back and danced a gentle group dance a little farther away.

The group of people standing at the outermost edge of the Maple Forest is the Straw Hat Pirates. They came so coincidentally that it happened to be the annual sacrificial day on the island.

"It's a rare sight, a sacrificial scene." The historian blinked his sapphire eyes, obviously very interested in this celebration.

"It's so interesting!!!!" The boy in the straw hat also stared at their every move intently, then turned his head and asked the people around him, "Sanji, is there something delicious for a while?"

The blond chef, smoking a cigarette, was immersed in the beautiful appearance of the lead singer girl, exuding a pink aura all over his body, and replied casually. "Of course, it's a specialty here, maple sugar cake."

"...no meat?"

"Probably...not at all." Although the chef has many cooking plans using maple syrup in his head, but now it is a sacrifice for the locals, so he will not provide any food that is too unconventional...

Having nothing to eat, Luffy stuck out his tongue regretfully, almost completely losing interest. Sugar cakes are not one ten thousandth as attractive to the captain as meat. But contrary to Luffy, their sweet-toothed boat doctor The wind fluttered towards Sanji's legs.

The deer grabbed the blond man's trouser legs, and his eyes were about to shine. "Hey!!!! Is this a cake made of maple syrup?!!! Is it very sweet?!!!"

"Of course," Sanji chuckled and pressed its hat, "I'll bring it for you to eat."

"Really? That's great!!!!"

The end of the hymn was gradually lost in the sound of the leaves turning. The dancing people stopped and waited with bated breath. The leading girl walked slowly to the center of the crowd, closed her eyes and began to sing another round of beautiful and ethereal songs. Leave them A little farther off stood the other inhabitants of the island. Now they sang and sang, passing among the dancing people, and laying the colored silk in their hands on the wooden table.

"What is she singing?" Chopper listened carefully, but the girl sang only incomprehensible syllables.

"It's a poem praising the gods." As the only person in the pirate group who can understand this language, Robin replied.

When Chopper was attracted by the singing this time, the blond man inadvertently glanced at the man standing farthest away. The man was yawning indifferently from head to toe in a state of indifference to the things in front of him , the three golden water droplets on his left ear swayed slightly with his movements. Sanji curled his lips, and began to think about how to fill his mouth with maple syrup cakes. That guy doesn’t like sweets, so his expression must be cute Remarkable, right?

As if feeling the gaze from the other end, Zoro looked sideways, just in time to catch the movement of the blond man turning his head. He stared at the side face of the man, and the corner of his mouth, biting a cigarette, raised an imperceptible arc.

...laughing.

What are you thinking, that idiot?

After more than a month of voyage, the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the island in the morning——this is a small island named Maple, which is mainly planted with maple trees.

The whole island is dazzling red, which looks like a flame is burning. The pleasant climate of Autumn Island is very suitable for the growth of these plants, and the several types of maple trees that are special on the island can produce high-quality maple syrup, which is also an important part of the island. The main source of income for the residents. In order to thank God and pray for good luck in the coming year, every third Wednesday in autumn, the local residents will wear red festival costumes and perform sacrifices in the maple forest in the middle of the island.

What everyone is facing at the moment is the oldest giant tree in the maple forest, a sugar maple called "paper mulberry" by the locals. Its trunk is so strong that even a dozen people can't hug it, and the flourishing branches and leaves are even more difficult. It spreads out in all directions, and looks like a huge fiery red umbrella from a distance, protecting the whole island. The biggest difference from other maple trees is that the branches of paper mulberry are tied with countless colorful silk threads, or just surround the tree. , or hanging from the branches above the head, it looks unique.

"These colored silks are our wishes. Not only is the weather good, but we can also make other wishes to Zhisang. If the wishes made back then come true, we will bring the best maple syrup at home to come to the tree to fulfill our wishes next year." A local old man took the initiative to explain to them before the sacrifice.

Although they are pirates, these children don't look like bad guys, not to mention that they have caught up with the annual event, so the island residents treat them very warmly.

Usopp held up a finger with a serious expression. "It seems that if you don't keep your vows, terrible things will happen."

"Maybe those who are good will die unexpectedly."

The sniper looked over in horror. "Robin, don't say such terrible things!!!!"

"Of course there is a possibility," the old man took up the historian's words, and his tone seemed to have deep understanding, "Even wishes that have been fulfilled may be overturned."

"It seems that wishes can't be granted casually." Nami shrugged lightly, "After all, if you leave, you can't fulfill your wish."

"My uncle decided to change to a SUPER hairstyle to match this tree well!!!!" Two seconds later, Franky's hair turned bright red, causing the boat doctor and the captain to cheer in unison.

The old man left them and returned to his own clan to prepare for the next sacrifice. A large number of colored silk threads were brought in continuously, matched with different colors in the hands of the local people, and then tied with a few beautiful knots, It becomes a multicolored wire harness. Today, these newly made colored silks will carry more wishes and hang on the branches of paper mulberry.

The green-haired swordsman crossed his arms, regretting that he had no wine to drink. Although he really wanted to find a tavern to have a big meal, but today everyone came to participate in the sacrifice, and the whole village was empty. His His eyes swept over those busy people aimlessly, and he accurately found a touch of gold in the heads of those surging people.

The blond guy seems to have gotten along with the surrounding residents, talking and laughing, not sure what they are talking about.

The answer will be known in a few seconds.

A person next to the cook lifted the lid of the wooden box on the table, took out a round object wrapped in green leaves and handed it to him. Sure enough, he was talking about food, I guess, Zoro thought.

When a cook sees novel ingredients, he is probably as happy as seeing a beautiful woman. I have to say that as a chef, that guy is very good in terms of conscientiousness and craftsmanship. Now that the island is famous for its maple syrup, it is estimated that he will That kind of stuff is very interesting.

The blond man held the thing and studied it for a few minutes, then handed it back to the man. He bought a large crock pot of maple syrup from the man, and happily walked back with the pot in his arms. It seems that the Straw Hat Sea There must be similar food on the table of the thieves.

Zoro raised his eyebrows and looked away.

Although I don't hate the food that guy made, but I really don't have much expectations for sugar or something.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

In the gradually clear and soft chants, the silk threads on the wooden table accumulated more and more. Finally, the last person also respectfully offered the silk thread in his hand. It seemed that the next link was reached, and the singing people jumped towards the huge maple tree. There was another brighter dance. People rolled out several tall wooden ladders from the depths of the maple forest, and several young people with maple leaves climbed up the wooden ladders, took down the old faded silk threads, and hung new ones. Caisi. Under the tree, more people began to gather. They took out the prepared maple syrup cakes from the wooden box and distributed them to everyone.

The old man who talked to the Straw Hat Pirates before came to them with a wooden box and distributed the sugar cakes to them.

Although he felt that he would not be full without meat, the captain who never refused to come would not miss any food. Everyone was given a piece of maple sugar cake. It is indeed a local specialty. The sweetness is full of praise. Although Chopper wants to eat an extra piece, he is too embarrassed to ask for it.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Zoro handed it an untouched sugar biscuit in his hand.

"Is it really possible?!"

"Eat." The green-haired man scratched his hair, turned and left. The next second, the cook's voice sounded behind him.

"Hey Chlorella head, where are you going?"

"Go back to the boat."

Holding a large jar of maple syrup in his arms, the blond man smiled viciously. "I should tell you... did you go in the wrong direction?"

"I'm planning to go for a walk first!!!!"

"Oh really? That's up to you. Anyway, I'm going to take the syrup back to the boat." Sanji raised his eyebrows, and didn't let go of the stubborn guy, walking straight through the sugar maple forest to the coastline. Their Sonny The ship is moored near the beach outside the maple forest. That guy can find the ship by himself is simply the probability of a meteor shower hitting the earth.

Sure enough, footsteps sounded behind him, and the blond man pulled the corners of his mouth indistinctly.

Didn't you follow in the end, huh?

With a flick of his wrist, Sanji threw the uneaten piece of maple syrup to Zoro. "Hey, leave half for me."

The green-haired man grabbed it casually, glanced at it and threw it back. "I don't like this kind of sweet thing."

"A ignorant idiot."

Zoro felt the veins on his forehead twitch. "Ah?"

The blond man stared at the biscuits in his hand with a little regret. "They are all made with 'wish'. Only when they are eaten can they exist."

The same is true for all food. No one knows better than Mr. Chef what kind of mood he has when cooking those ingredients.

Expectation. Hope. Efforts. Love.

"Isn't it the same to be eaten by you? Anyway, the result is to be eaten."

"It really is an idiot."

The afternoon tea of ​​the Straw Hat Pirates consisted of desserts and drinks made of maple syrup. I have to say that the craftsmanship of the blond man is admirable. Although it is the same can of syrup, it becomes a kind of sweetness in his hands. A strong, two very different flavors. When throwing the snack plate to the swordsman, Sanji looked at him provocatively.

Although I have never said it before, Zoro has always felt that the food made by the chef is delicious. Even if the guy is not right with him, his tongue can never deceive people. Moreover, the dishes made by that guy always vary from person to person, and he never shows off And just enough to meet everyone's requirements. Even if it is the dessert he made, it must be an adjusted taste for himself.

The dim sum, whose color can almost be described as crystal, seems to melt in the first second when it is put into the mouth. The delicate and soft taste will be crushed when you sip it with the tip of the tongue. It began to spread in the mouth. The moment the food slid down the throat and into the stomach, the aftertaste between the lips and teeth seemed to faintly reveal the aroma of wine. Syrup and wine were also kneaded together by that person, and the effect was simply a feast for the taste buds.

RoronoaZoro never imagined that this food called "Maple Sugar Pie" would have such a texture.

But he also knew that this smell was only limited to what that person brought out for him.

Only this one, no second time.

The blond man on the opposite side hadn't left yet. He watched the guy who refused to eat honestly finish the maple syrup cake he brought. Sanji remembered what he wanted to see before... First of all, he got his wish. The guy's mouth is full of maple syrup cookies, so the next thing is... that guy's expression?

The blond man cast a last glance at Zoro, smoked a cigarette contentedly, and twisted into a pink whirlwind to talk to the two goddesses.

Why don't you like to eat sweets, you obviously have an unsatisfactory look on your face.

Still pretty good, huh?
