Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 111 The Sound of Ingredients

Dada Piaoguo: I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that I went to the Hive Prison. Then I went to pick up Zebra from prison. He was so handsome...

A'lu walked over with a bright red slap mark on his face, which looked a bit funny and embarrassing.

I glanced at the mark and said to A Lu calmly, "Mr. A Lu, I have found the ozone grass. It is just ahead!"

When A'lu heard this, he immediately perked up and even forgot about the slap mark.

"Really?" A'lu's eyes lit up and he ran to the front excitedly, eager to see the legendary king of vegetables.

At the bottom of the valley, a huge plant stands quietly. Its shape resembles both cabbage and cauliflower, and its layers of leaves emit a charming luster in the sun.

Ah Lu stared at the plant, his eyes full of surprise and shock, and he shouted excitedly: "This... This is the king of vegetables [Ozone Grass]!"

I walked slowly over to the huge ozone grass at the bottom of the valley, which had just stretched out its broad green leaves. But now, it closed up silently, and each leaf was tightly closed into a ball.

A Lu stood quietly by the side, his eyes flashing with excitement. He did not notice the changes in the ozone grass, or perhaps it was unimportant to him.

"It looks like cabbage or Chinese cabbage. It should be the kind of vegetable that is wrapped in layers of leaves!" A Lu took a deep breath, tensed his muscles, and rushed forward.

A'lu jumped lightly, drew a smooth arc in the air, and then landed steadily on the huge plant leaf.

The broad and thick leaves of the ozone grass held up A'lu's heavy body steadily, but it was not affected at all, not even a tremor. A'lu slowly bent down, carefully stretched out his hand, and gently touched the green leaves of the ozone grass.

A Lu nodded slightly and put his nose close to the leaves, wanting to smell the unique scent of the legendary oxygen grass: "Hmm!"

Who would have thought that a pungent, strong smell would suddenly enter his nose. It was clearly the smell of insecticide, sharp and choking.

This sudden odor was like a blow to A'lu's head. He frowned tightly, his face full of pain, as if he was enduring some unspeakable torment.

The smell was so strong that it even made A'lu's eyes well up with tears, and crystal clear tears rolled down his cheeks quietly.

Ah Lu panted rapidly. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I was so scared... I was so scared... I thought I had inhaled the insecticide into my nose!"

I stood on the top of the valley that towered into the clouds. I noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with A Lu's figure. I was startled and shouted at the top of my voice: "Mr. A Lu, are you okay?"

Ah Lu endured the discomfort in his body and barely lay on the broad leaves of the [Oxygen Grass]. He turned his head and shouted at me at the top of his lungs: "It's okay... I'm okay!"

Ah Lu turned around, slowly leaned down, put his face close to the leaves, and sniffed gently: "Since it is ozone grass, it is possible that it has absorbed a large amount of toxic substances such as ultraviolet rays projected by the sun. This strong irritating smell is probably because of this!"

"The surrounding leaves are protecting the oxygen grass inside like this." A Lu stared at the leaves of the oxygen grass in front of him with a serious look on his face. He wanted to look through the leaves to find more secrets hidden in it.

A Lu slowly stretched out his arms, staring ahead with a focused and determined look. He gently extended his fingertips toward the outermost leaves of the oxygen grass, his heart full of eager anticipation and strong curiosity.

Just when A Lu was about to peel off the leaf on the surface of the oxygen grass, I seemed to hear a faint voice ringing in my ear, warning me: "You can't peel it like this! Stop him quickly, don't let him continue!"

This sudden voice surprised me. I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly stopped A Lu and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. A Lu, it's not that leaf!"

The moment the oxygen grass left the plant, something unexpected happened! It shrank rapidly at an alarming speed. This sudden change caught A Lu off guard, and before he could even react, he smelled a pungent and unpleasant odor.

At that moment, the oxygen grass that was originally full of vitality shrank at an alarming speed. Its leaves gradually became shriveled and weak, losing all water and nutrients in an instant, and the color faded from bright green to withered yellow.

As time went by, the gas gradually dissipated, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only a trace of withering and decay. The once lush oxygen grass was now decayed and turned into a pile of lifeless rotten leaves, lying quietly and silently on the cold ground.

A Lu stood there in a daze, staring at the oxygen grass under his feet, completely unable to comprehend what had suddenly happened: "How...how could this happen... [Oxygen Grass], it's rotten!"

"Mr. A'lu, please get ready to catch me!" I stood above the valley and shouted loudly to A'lu.

My voice echoed in the empty valley. A'lu looked up and saw my figure swaying, having jumped down from a high place. He turned pale with fear and quickly stretched out his arms, ready to catch me.

My body was falling straight down, and was about to hit the ground heavily. Suddenly, a warm and strong embrace hugged me tightly.

A'lu used his strong arms to hold me tightly in a princess hug: "You have really become reckless..."

My cheeks flushed slightly, and I gently jumped out of A'lu's embrace. I slowly walked forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the rotten oxygen grass.

I could feel that the oxygen grass in my hand no longer had any vitality and was completely rotten. Apparently there was something wrong with the way A'lu had just peeled the leaves.

I squatted and looked up at A Lu, my eyes full of seriousness, and slowly said to him: "Mr. A Lu, this oxygen grass is completely rotten. The way you just peeled it is totally wrong. Maybe the oxygen grass is a special cooking ingredient!"

A Lu's expression froze instantly, his mouth opened wide, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "What? What does this mean... Xiaosong?"

I lowered my head and gently stroked the rotting oxygen leaves under my feet. "Sure enough, it feels similar to when I'm handling ingredients. When facing guests or chefs, they are afraid of unfamiliar and delicate ingredients. This is the characteristic of special cooking ingredients!"

Ah Lu stood there staring at me, his eyes deep and focused. After a long while, he spoke: "Well... actually there is no basis for this..."

"Mr. Alu, when you held that leaf just now, you always felt like it was not this leaf, and you were unhappy about it because it was the food. Maybe... you need to peel the leaves in order. If you make a mistake, it will rot immediately!" I frowned, stared at the oxygen grass in front of me that had begun to rot and deteriorate, and expressed my thoughts.
