Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Early the next morning, while Cao Zhiqiang was still sound asleep, someone rang the doorbell, and it kept ringing.

If Cao Zhiqiang lived alone, faced with such a situation where the doorbell kept ringing, he would usually have to forcefully get up to see who it was, and curse a few words by the way.

But ever since he lived with Akina Nakamori, he was too lazy to take care of such things, turned over, covered himself with a quilt and continued to sleep, leaving everything else to Akina Nakamori.

Sure enough, seeing Cao Zhiqiang turned over, covering the quilt and continuing to sleep soundly, Nakamori Akina who was also woken up and had most of the quilt taken away, could only sit up and rub his eyes, looking helplessly and sweetly at the side Cao Zhiqiang continued to sleep soundly while hugging the quilt.

After sighing, Akina Nakamori smiled slightly, put on a pajamas hastily, then got out of bed lightly, and left the bedroom.

Well, in fact, Akina Nakamori used to sleep with clothes on, because she has been like this since she was a child.

But since she lived with Cao Zhiqiang, she changed her customs and became like Cao Zhiqiang, sleeping naked.

At the beginning, when Cao Zhiqiang asked her to do this, she was still a little uncomfortable, but she only listened to Cao Zhiqiang out of the willingness to obey, but after a long time, she knew that she could sleep naked.

Among other things, at least the quality of sleep has indeed improved.

Especially after exercising with Cao Zhiqiang before going to bed, the quality of sleep has improved, and the slight neurasthenia that I had before was also cured.

That is to say, after the neurasthenia was cured, Akina Nakamori believed Cao Zhiqiang completely, and she would listen to whatever Cao Zhiqiang said in the future.

For example, Cao Zhiqiang suggested that Akina Nakamori should eat a balanced diet, with meat, egg and milk as the main ingredient, supplemented by vegetables and fruits, and eat as little carbohydrates as possible. Akina Nakamori also adopted the recipe without reservation.

You know, this kind of diet structure that is mainly meat, egg and milk, supplemented by vegetables and fruits, with sporadic carbohydrates, is not the mainstream in Japan at all, let alone Nakamori Akina's eating habits.

And a person's eating habits are often developed since childhood, and it is difficult to change when they grow up.

For example, many people in China who were very poor when they were young grow up to be rich. Their favorite food is millet porridge and pickled vegetables. They don’t catch a lot of cold with abalone, ginseng and belly, so they just taste it occasionally.

There are also some native rich people in the West, such as some grassroots oligarchs in Da Mao later. After they became rich, their favorite food was the popular red cabbage soup with black bread. On the contrary, they didn’t like to eat Black Sea caviar.

In addition, what tastes like my mother does not necessarily mean how delicious the food my mother cooks, it is nothing more than getting used to eating, adapting to the body, and having memory.

Nakamori Akina's family runs a noodle restaurant, and she has been eating rice and noodles since she was a child, so she still eats them when she grows up. It's not that she can't afford a diet consisting mainly of meat, eggs, and milk, but she's not used to it.

As for fruit, she likes to eat it, but Japanese fruit has been outrageously expensive since the 70s. In the past, Akina Nakamori was just a small idol, and she couldn't afford good fruit. Usually, she ate tomatoes as fruit.

In other words, compared to Kyoko Koizumi who dares to spend money and knows how to spend money, Akina Nakamori, a girl from a poor family, has to be more cautious when spending money, and compared to the Japanese, she is also more simple and frugal.

Don't look at the stage and screen, Nakamori Akina mostly wears all kinds of fancy clothes, with the style of rebellious girls as the main style, but in fact, it's only on the stage.

In private, Nakamori Akina usually doesn't wear makeup or dress up, she is no different from the ordinary girl next door, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to recognize who she is.

Nakamori Akina without makeup is just highlighting one tender and one white. Only Nakamori Akina after makeup is the diva on the stage who turns all beings upside down.

That is to say, Nakamori Akina was not used to eating meat, eggs and milk-based recipes. Even at the beginning, she was lactose intolerant, and drinking milk would cause diarrhea.

It was only because Cao Zhiqiang said that it was good for the body, and Cao Zhiqiang liked this recipe, that she persisted, but the main purpose was to eat with Cao Zhiqiang.

But later, after eating like this, coupled with the fitness exercises suggested by Cao Zhiqiang, such as yoga, running, rope skipping, and swimming, especially after insisting on running five kilometers a day and skipping [-] ropes, she obviously felt that her body had changed.

For example, I am more energetic, more powerful, more energetic, and even my muscles are more obvious.

To put it simply, the physical fitness has improved significantly, and even the mood has been affected, and I have become more and more confident.

With such a good effect, Akina Nakamori of course believed in Cao Zhiqiang even more, and almost became Cao Zhiqiang's little fan girl. She did whatever Cao Zhiqiang said, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was brainwashed by Cao Zhiqiang.

That is to say, Cao Zhiqiang still has a little conscience, but if his mind is darker, with Akina Nakamori's current state of obedience, maybe he can do something.

At least, Cao Zhiqiang can't play with whips and candles, that's not only disrespectful to Akina Nakamori, but he himself can't accept it.

The ringing of the doorbell continued without any sign of stopping.

"Here we come!" Akina Nakamori, who came to the living room, had to shout, "Don't press it, wait a moment, here we come!"

Soon, Nakamori Akina, who was only in her pajamas, rushed to the door with a few strides, then frowned and asked through the door, "Who is it, please? What's the matter?"

A young man's voice came from outside the door: "Ah, is it Ms. Akina? I'm Kozo Nagayama from Fuji TV!"

Upon hearing this, Nakamori Akina was taken aback, and then immediately said, "Ah, is it really Director Yongshan?"

"Yes." Yongshan Kozo said outside, "It's presumptuous to come, but I really need to find Cao Sang for important matters, so please forgive me."

Only then did Akina Nakamori open the door, looked at Kozo Nagayama outside the door, smiled and nodded slightly: "Director Nagayama, hello."

"Hello, Miss Akina." Yongshan Kozo bowed lightly, then scratched his head embarrassedly, "Well, I'm sorry, is Cao Sang at home?"

Akina Nakamori nodded: "At home, but he's still sleeping."

After a short pause, Nakamori Akina continued to explain: "That's right, he worked late last night, wrote something all night, and slept very late, so that's why."

"Ah, I understand, I understand." Yongshan Kozo nodded, "It's normal for a great writer like Cao Sang to go to bed late and get up late, but I'm also similar."

After a pause, Yongshan Gengsan said: "Actually, I didn't want to disturb you, but I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. Then, I suddenly wanted to see Cao Sang, and conveyed the good news to him as soon as possible. The news, therefore, came."

Akina Nakamori was taken aback: "Nani? You haven't slept all night?"

Yong Shangeng nodded: "Yes, I haven't slept since last night. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't, so I came here.

I don't have any other intentions, I just want to say goodbye to Cao Sang. "

Akina Nakamori was stunned, and was about to ask something, but seeing the other party's excited face, she stepped aside and said, "Well, come in first, come in and talk."

"This..." Yongshan Kozo hesitated for a moment, but still bowed deeply, "Then excuse me."

After Nakamori Akina let Nagayama Kozo into the room and took him to the restaurant to sit down, he asked, "Tea or coffee?"

"Tea bar." Yong Shangeng said, "Any kind of tea will do."

Akina Nakamori nodded: "Then, is black tea okay? Here is Keemun black tea brought by Zhiqiang-san from China. It is said to be one of the three largest black teas in the world. It tastes good and does not hurt the stomach. It is also the favorite drink of the Queen of England. Do you want some black tea?"

"That's right, let's do this." Nagayama Kozo nodded with a smile.

While Akina Nakamori was making tea for Kozo Nagayama, Kozo Nagayama also took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement.

At the same time, Nagayama Kozo was still secretly looking at Akina Nakamori, and secretly praised him.

In his opinion, Akina Nakamori deliberately made tea to allow time for himself to stabilize.

After all, until now, his body has been trembling slightly, which is a manifestation of his excitement.

"As expected of the woman Cao Sang has his eye on." Yongshan Kozo followed suit and praised, "He is as careful as a hair, considerate in every detail, what a woman, Cao Sang is so lucky!"

Well, this is purely Kozo Nagayama's overthinking and making up his own brain.

In fact, it was Akina Nakamori who was used to making tea as soon as people came, because it could satisfy her desire to show off.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang had said before that the Keemun black tea he brought was authentic top quality, the queen of black tea, and the favorite drink of the Queen of England and the British royal family.

Although there is no Internet now, there is no way to check, and Akina Nakamori's education is average, so I don't know much about these.

But in the eyes of Akina Nakamori, Cao Zhiqiang is a knowledgeable writer, and he must be right, so he must be right when he said that Keemun black tea is the queen of black tea and the favorite of the Queen of England.

Entertaining guests with this kind of tea, and telling the origin of this tea in a calm tone by the way, the refreshing feeling, tsk tsk tsk, people who have not experienced it will not understand.

In fact, not only this top-quality black tea, but also other luxury foods such as Wuyishan Dahongpao, Oiran coffee, Romanee-Conti red wine, Moutai baijiu, Black Sea caviar, bluefin tuna, Australian Wagyu, etc., are available here.

Basically, every time Cao Zhiqiang went out for a walk and came back, he would bring some top-notch luxury food, so that Akina Nakamori was stunned.

Don't ask where it came from, it's a gift from a friend.

How should I put it, at first, Akina Nakamori asked where it came from, but then she stopped asking.

On the contrary, Akina Nakamori thoughtfully bought two large refrigerators and two large freezers, both of which were used to store all kinds of luxury food and drinks brought by Cao Zhiqiang.

For example, why did Akina Nakamori try to invite Koizumi Kyoko over for a drink after the dinner party at noon before the filming of the TV series last time?

After all, Cao Zhiqiang said that the origin of these things is not right, so I want Akina Nakamori to keep a low profile, stop talking nonsense, and just eat it secretly.

But the problem is, if you don't know about these good ingredients, drinks, and so on, it's fine. After you know it, you can only eat and drink secretly. What's the point of that?
For example, Romanée-Conti, Petrus, if you drink the top red wine from these places secretly and don’t show off to others, the taste is not too different from ordinary red wine. Anyway, in the eyes of Nakamori Akina .

What's more, Cao Zhiqiang usually doesn't drink alcohol, even if it's top red wine.

The same goes for Moutai.

Although Moutai is very famous, it is also very famous in Japan, and the aroma is really fragrant.

But once Moutai enters the throat, it is similar to other ordinary liquors, just one word, spicy!

At least Nakamori Akina felt that way, and Cao Zhiqiang felt the same way.

So, Cao Zhiqiang really wanted to drink, so he went to buy some beer and drink it back.

However, if you are a good friend you can trust, then these things can be used and spoken about openly.

For example, the relationship with Cao Zhiqiang is not bad, and Nobuo Tomioka and Yuno Watanabe, who often come here as guests, can be said.

But these people are all friends of Cao Zhiqiang, not Akina Nakamori.

Since Akina Nakamori made her debut, she has not had many friends, and the only one who can truly be called a friend is Kyoko Koizumi.

In the past, Koizumi Kyoko was very busy, and Nakamori Akina was always busy in love, and they both ignored each other.

It wasn't until the dinner party before the last TV series that Akina Nakamori and Kyoko Koizumi met again.

Since then, Nakamori Akina has been looking for Kyoko Koizumi to come over in various ways, just to eat and drink with her, and to show off by the way.

Guarding a pile of top-quality ingredients at home, but not showing off to others, what is the difference between this and Yijin Night Walk?
Therefore, for expensive and scarce top ingredients, what is needed is not simple cooking, but a diner who can interact with you.

Only when you let others know that the ingredients in your home are top-notch, the kind that ordinary people can’t buy even if they have money, and give out a sound of surprise and admiration, can the charm of this top-level ingredient be brought into full play.

Or it can be said that sitting next to at least one friend who eats and drinks with you, who can give positive feedback in time, and who is always surprised and admiring, is the correct way to enjoy top-quality ingredients.

Akina Nakamori didn't like to show off to others so much in the past. After following Cao Zhiqiang, his mouth became more tricky and his pattern opened up, which made him what he is today.

From thrift to extravagance is easy, but that's all.

"I've been waiting for a long time, the black tea is ready." Akina Nakamori, who had made the tea, walked over with a tray with a smile, and then put the tray down.

Yongshan Kozo nodded his thanks, then looked at the purple sand tea set on the tea tray and frowned: "Well, if I read it correctly, this is a purple sand teapot, right?"

"Mr. Yongshan has a good eye!" Akina Nakamori nodded with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, she pointed to the purple clay pot and purple clay cups on the tray and said with a smile: "Good tea needs good utensils, and top-notch black tea naturally requires top-level specialized utensils.

It is said that the British royal family likes to use bone china to make tea, but that is not authentic.

The authentic utensils for brewing this black tea must be purple sand tea sets produced in Dingshu Town, Yixing, China. That is the most authentic tea set and can complement each other.

The longer the purple sand tea set is used, the better. Once it becomes an antique, the taste of the brewed tea will be more mellow.

And this set of tea sets is said to have been fired in the 58th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and that year happened to be the time when the Macartney mission visited China. It is very commemorative, so this is a truly priceless antique. "

"Wow!" Yongshan Kozo stared at the purple clay tea set on the tray in surprise, "It's actually an antique from the Qing Dynasty? This, this is too precious!"

Akina Nakamori smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's nothing, we still have porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, but it's just that the black tea in a porcelain teapot doesn't taste right, so I use this."

Speaking of this, Akina Nakamori nodded lightly and waved his hand: "Yongshan-san, please use tea, good tea should be drunk while it is hot, it will not taste good when it is cold!" (End of this chapter)
