Chapter 205 Her Farewell (Part One)

Time passed like this day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it came to Thursday evening.

"Would you like to come into the kitchen today?"

Kitagawa's house, outside the kitchen, Miao Ejima, who was wearing an apron, glanced at Rina Tsugumi in surprise, not sure what the neighbor was thinking for a moment.

At the beginning, Rina Toshima did learn cooking skills from her for a period of time, but maybe it was just in line with the old saying that some things really require talent.If you don't have talent and have to force yourself, you will often have to do twice as much work to achieve half the result.

However, after working hard for a month, Rina Toshima successfully reached the passing mark by practicing each of the three dishes no less than a hundred times.

But compared with the "God of Cooking" in the Beichuan family, it's nothing more.

Since then, Tsugumi Rina has accepted the fact, happily gave up her culinary training, and lay down straight, saying that she only needs to be responsible for eating and washing dishes.

Thinking about it now, counting the time, it has been more than four or five months since Tsugumi Rina said that she would no longer work hard on cooking.

"Yes."

Rina Toshima nodded, and her eyes fell on Ejima Miao's face.

That beautiful face was reflected in those clear eyes.

In a sense, it is indeed easy for Eshima Myo to become the idol of girls of the same age. She has good grades, good health, knows a little bit about everything, and is almost omnipotent.

"What's the reason for Rina-sama doing this?"

Myo Eshima met Rina Toshima's gaze and asked thoughtfully.

It's not that she doesn't let Makoto Tsugumi into the kitchen, on the contrary, the kitchen of the Beichuan family is open to everyone at the Beichuan family's table if it doesn't help.

However, Kitagawa Che is not among them. At this point, everyone has acquiesced that unless there are special circumstances, no one can enter the kitchen.

"Just think of it on a whim." Tsugumi Rina smiled, folded her palms together, slightly lowered her eyebrows, and pleaded a little more in her voice, "Anyway, please."

After the words fell, Beiyuan Linyin, who was handling the vegetables, stopped the movement of her hands.

She turned her eyebrows away and her eyes fell on the kitchen door.

"..."

Myo Eshima glanced at Rina Toshiro, then turned back and met the gaze of Rinne Hokion.

After exchanging glances with the latter in the air, the valet turned his eyebrows back, nodded slightly, and gave an affirmative answer, "Then, I will ask Sister Rina for your advice."

With that said, she moved away.

"uh-huh."

Tsugumi Rina blinked, passed Ejima Miao, and walked into the kitchen, then stopped in front of the stainless steel pole, and took off the light brown apron that she hadn't used for a long time and put it on.

The result still hasn't changed much.

Looking around the kitchen, Makoto Tsugumi Rina sighed inwardly.

She hadn't been in Beichuan's kitchen for almost four months.

Everything is still so familiar.

Just ...

Tsugumi Rina's eyes became complicated, she turned her head and gave Ejima Tae a look for help.

"what happened?"

Ejima Miao tilted her head and asked subconsciously.

"Theoretically speaking, if you don't review the knowledge you have mastered within three months, you will forget most of it." Rina Tsugumi laughed, avoiding Ejima Miao's gaze at herself with embarrassment, " I mean... I might need your help.

"Because I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, so I'm... a little bit new."

In the end, Tsugumi Makoto Rina's voice became smaller and smaller.

One second she swore to give it to herself, but the next second she missed it.

This makes it somewhat difficult to describe.

"no problem."

Ejima Miao nodded slightly, agreeing happily.

She thought Rina-san was going to say something.

"That... please."

Rina Tsugumi lowered her eyebrows, looking cautious.

"take it easy."

Myo Eshima showed a relieved smile, she gently took Rina Toshima's hand and led her to the chopping board.

When Rina Toshimai asked her for advice on cooking, she had already noticed that their neighbor Rina really had no talent in cooking.

But even so, she persisted for a month and even learned three home-cooked dishes beyond her expectation. What surprised her most was that the three dishes tasted exactly the same, although the details were still different. It's a bit rough, but there's no problem getting a passing grade.

Right now, it's just a matter of finding some things that may have been forgotten, and it won't be too difficult in terms of emotion and reason.

Feeling the cool touch from the palm of her hand, Makoto Tsugumi subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

If she really had to go through it step by step without a 'teaching material', she would have messed up at least two or three times.

But the meal time of Beichuan's family is there. When she was a diner, she was the classic type who would live like a year if she didn't serve the meal on time. Now, she has become a chef. At this point , There will also be an unconscious sense of responsibility.

Anyway, it can't time out!

"However..." Ejima Miao let go of Tsuguma Rina's hand, and changed the topic, "I will only be responsible for pointing out the steps that Rina-san didn't do right, and I won't teach you all." She paused, the corners of her mouth slightly Raising it up, it outlined a sly arc, "Only in this way can we have the effect of reviewing!"

What she meant was that she hoped that Rina Toshima could recall the steps she had practiced several times before while doing it.

It’s not that he went to embarrass Rina Tashisei just to embarrass her.

In her opinion, the muscle memory that has been practiced hundreds of times is so easy to forget, even if it is unfamiliar at first, it will gradually become familiar after getting used to it.

At the beginning, the neighbor paid a lot of sweat for those three dishes.

How could that memory be forgotten so easily.

Of course, the most important point is that she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

People have habitual thinking. Once they encounter any problem, they immediately seek help. If the people around them can give the answer immediately, over time, people will give up thinking on their own and habitually turn to the people around them for help. This is It also forms a bad habit.

At the beginning, she made this mistake when she first started teaching Tsugumi Rina to learn cooking. Once Tsugumi Rina asked any questions, she would answer immediately without even giving the other party time to think .

Therefore, at least [-]% of the reason why Rina Toshima's learning progress was so slow in the early stage was because of this.

However, looking at it from another angle, it was an eye-opener for her. This seemingly hot-tempered and laughing neighbor sister is actually an unexpected coquettish ghost when it comes to things she is not good at.

"...This is the best."

After a moment of silence, Rina Tsugumi nodded in agreement.

At this point, she thought very clearly. First of all, something is always better than nothing. Secondly, her original idea was to hope that Ejima would only help her with the steps that she didn't do right or was unsure about. A handful.

If Ejima Miao had to demonstrate it from beginning to end, then her visit to the kitchen today would be in vain.

After all, if she demonstrated it once, the 'standard answer' would come out directly.

The templates are all there, what else is there for her.

On the other side of the kitchen, Beiyuan Linyin, who was processing green leafy vegetables in the vegetable sink, frowned slightly, with a little more thought on her face.

If it was said that under the reminder of Ejima Miao before, she just felt that Tsugumi Rina was often absent-minded and looked preoccupied, but now, she already had a bad premonition.

Judging from the current performance of Rina Tsugumi, her concern has exceeded her ability. To put it bluntly, Rina Tsugumi has no way to handle these things well.

only……

The movements of Bei Yuan Linyin's hands stopped for a moment.

She turned her eyebrows sideways, and the corner of her eyes fell on the side face of Rina Toshimai, who was already standing in front of the chopping board and began to check various seasonings.

If you ask the person involved, given Rina Toshima's character, she definitely won't say anything.

Just make a haha ​​and get over it.

If pressed, there is no need to think about it.

Looking back, Beiyuan Linyin turned on the faucet a little bit more.

The sound of splashing water not only did not dispel her worried thoughts, but made her feel even more restless.
