Tokyo: Starting from staying with my mother’s best friend

Chapter 10 What an arrogant brat, huh!
It was slowly getting brighter.

It's gloomy and gray in Tokyo, and the sky is gradually turning white.

Iinuma Isao got up, drank a cup of black coffee, and ran a few laps around the perimeter of Huacheng's house to do fasting aerobics.

After running, I went back to my room and took a shower. As soon as I came out to the living room, I heard a loud scream.

Coming from the kitchen.

When I ran to the kitchen door and took a look, I found Huacheng Kyoko holding a kitchen knife in her hand, looking helplessly at the lively eels on the ground.

"Aunt Kyoko doesn't know how to cook, right?" Ionuma Isao asked with a smile.

Huacheng Xingzi, who was wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife in her hand, didn't say a word, but her face was a little more indifferent.

...It's so embarrassing, so I have to act more indifferent.

"system!"

Ionuma Isao muttered silently.

Enter the mall interface and exchange the [-] points obtained yesterday for cooking (professional) skills.

"Leave it to me!" He walked into the kitchen confidently.

Huacheng Xingzi hesitated for a moment, took off her apron and gave up her position.

The blue apron still carries the faint body fragrance of a young woman.

Ionuma put on his apron, grabbed the eel on the ground, and knocked it off with the back of his knife.

The eel, which was jumping around looking for a hole to burrow into, immediately stopped moving.

Then, grab the gills with your hands, remove the scales and mucus, then grab the body of the fish, remove the gills, disembowel the eel, and chop the eel into small pieces.

After cleaning the eel, I cleaned the other ingredients again.

Finally, heat the oil in the pot and start cooking.

With the blessing of professional-level cooking skills, Ionuma Isao's movements are very flexible.

At the same time, he can do four things at once.

Now I'm cutting something on the chopping board, now I'm opening the refrigerator to get the ingredients, now I'm unsealing the lid of the pot for cooking eel and adding some seasoning, and now I'm adding water to the soup pot to prepare the soup.

Viewed from behind, his movements are quite beautiful, flexible and integrated.

Rhythmic movement, reminiscent of a percussionist.

Soon, a rich fragrance spread.

Huacheng Xingzi secretly admired it.

But her face was still indifferent, probably because of the teasing "Aunt Xingzi doesn't know how to cook, right?" that made her a little uneasy.

Moreover, the kid took over the kitchen on his own initiative, which made her a little unhappy, as she has always been strong.

"Is there any way I can help?" Huacheng Xingzi asked coldly.

"No, I'm fine by myself." Iinuma Isao said as he stir-fried carrots and pork.

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Huacheng Xingzi asked reluctantly.

"It's really not necessary."

"Are you good at cooking?"

"I just learned it today, only a little bit. But don't worry, at least I won't scream..." Ionuma Isao said with a smile.

The cold mistress behind him fell silent, and soon the sound of her leaving footsteps could be heard, as if she was angry at his words.

[Damn little devil!Huacheng Xingzi’s favorability towards you is -5, current favorability is 15]

The system popped up a temporary favorability prompt, and Ionuma Isao couldn't help but smile.

He felt that he was a little evil.

However, to make you look cold, you have to be angry.

As for how to coax the aunt when she is angry...

Ionuma Isao took out a food flavor enhancer from the system, poured a little into each dish, and stirred evenly.

I didn’t expect that I would give medicine!

After making breakfast, bring it to the table.

Huacheng Xingzi is also back.

She dressed up and put on serious and neat mourning clothes.

"Are you going to work today?" Ionuma Isao came out of the kitchen carrying soup.

"Yes, in March, all companies are working on their fiscal year budgets and are very busy." Huacheng Xingzi walked towards the dining table with a slight limp. "Although the scale of Huacheng Construction has shrunk a lot, there are not a lot of things to be busy with." Quite a few..."

There are several home-cooked dishes on the table, including roasted eel, thick slices of egg skin, fried pork with carrots, and vegetable soup.

It looks very bland.

The fragrance floated into the air along with the heat.Huacheng Xingzi couldn't help but take a deep breath. The smell of fireworks made her feel inexplicably relaxed and comfortable. She hadn't felt this way for a long time.

"Sit down and have breakfast." Iinuma Isao greeted her warmly.

Huacheng Xingzi sat down and glanced at the food.

The appearance of the roasted eel is brown and red, the gravy is thick, the color is bright red and oily, and the sesame seeds scattered like heavenly flowers are the finishing touch, which will increase your appetite.

Carrots and pork are stir-fried together, and the lard is glistening. You can tell at a glance that the meat is delicate and delicious;

High-quality pork and thinly sliced ​​carrots are stir-fried quickly over high heat. The pot is full of steam and will make people move their index fingers.

The thick egg crust is just right, and even the simple vegetable soup reflects charming colorful spots under the light...

Huacheng Xingzi's eyebrows jumped inadvertently.

She stared blankly at the dishes on the table, thinking that compared to the young man's cooking skills, even dogs would dislike the dishes she cooked.

"Where's Iori?"

Iinuma Isao asked confusedly as he didn't see the angel.

"She is used to sleeping in and won't get up before ten o'clock. Let's eat first." Huacheng Xingzi said lightly, clasping her hands together, "I'm starting."

A simple pre-dinner ritual, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of grilled eel and put it into his mouth.

She didn't have any expectations.

After chewing it for a while, her pupils shrank and she was extremely shocked.

After two and a half years of being unable to taste the sour and salty flavors, the nostalgic salty aroma mixed with various seasonings and spices miraculously revived on her tongue.

He slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, his hands shaking slightly.

Huacheng Kyoko took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and picked up the second piece of grilled eel.

The eel is grilled until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the texture is smooth and smooth. The seasonings complement the umami flavor of the seafood, giving diners a wonderful taste bud experience...

At this time, Huacheng Xingzi only had two words in her mind: delicious!
She took a bite of eel and then took a bite of rice. The long-lost pleasure of eating made her feel satisfied.

As she ate, she raised her head slightly and looked across.

The boy opposite was also looking at him nervously, as if waiting for her comment.

This made her feel warm.

"delicious."

Huacheng Xingzi's voice was slightly warm.

Although she still has a cold face, her heart is not so cold after all.

[Huacheng Xingzi’s heart is wrapped in warmth, her favorability towards you is +10, and her current favorability is 25]

Ionuma Isao smiled with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. I'm impressed." Huacheng Xingzi commented objectively while eating.

"It's very good, but it doesn't seem to mean much." Ionuma Isao said while holding his job.

"No meaning?" Huacheng Xingzi asked puzzledly.

"Yes, there is no point!" Ionuma Isao said seriously, "A good cooking skill is of no value to your current situation, Auntie. You can definitely spend some money to hire a cook, even better than me. I’m not stupid enough to think that cooking just one meal can win your favor, I need to do more!”

No, your cooking can win my favor...

Huacheng Xingzi looked at the years before her eyes, and the more she looked at them, the more pleasing she became.

He doesn't have the youthfulness of his peers, nor does he have the childish behavior of thinking he's very mature. The two completely opposite personalities of arrogance and restraint can be freely relaxed and relaxed in him, just right.

"You are very sober, which is rare." Huacheng Xingzi nodded lightly and looked at him calmly, "Well, although I really don't value cooking skills, before I recruit a new cook, the three meals at home are made by You take responsibility."

"it is good."

Ionuma Isao nodded in agreement.

Hehe, he sneered inwardly. He was almost crying because he was so delicious, but he still looked as if nothing had happened.

A duplicity woman!
After eating, Iinuma Isao stood up directly: "I'm full, please take it easy."

"Ok?"

Huacheng Xingzi looked at the table.

The empty plate left by the other party seemed to be left to her as a demonstration.

You do the cooking, but do you have to let me, the mistress, do the washing up?

Huacheng Xingzi's first feeling was that she was a little angry.

But when she calmed down and thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh. It's equal exchange. Businessmen like this method best.

[What an arrogant brat, huh!Huacheng Xingzi’s favorability towards you is +5, and the current favorability is 30]
