They Gather Here

"Let me tell you, Xiao Hui called you 'Luo Jun', you still call her by her last name, right?"

"..." Still silent.

"You should call her 'Xiao Hui', that's the only way you can be called a friend."

"..." Continued silence.

Luo Zhen was at a loss.

He coughed in embarrassment, and cast a look at Kato Kei for help, but he didn't expect the other party to stare at the floor, pretending not to see it.

Do you really want to be called "Xiaohui"?

Luo Zhen was entangled in his heart, with a constipated expression on his face.

Fortunately, rescuers came uninvited——

The cooking process of the improved version of goulash is almost over.

Luo Zhen couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat.

He walked to the stove, turned on the fire to collect the juice, and then turned off the fire.

Improved version, you're done!

Luo Zhen put the dish into a bowl, then brought it to Mrs. Kato, and said, "Husband...cough cough...madam, please try it."

Seemingly dissatisfied with the address, Mrs. Kato let out a "hum--".

However, she didn't bother anymore, but clasped her hands together and said in a low voice, "I'm starting~".

Then, she picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of her daughter's food and put it into her mouth.

The sense of familiarity instantly occupies the taste buds.

As a mother, she is proud that this Japanese-style potato stew is almost identical to her own, full of touching flavors.

Mrs. Kato ate with great relish.

PS1:

It is said to be an improved version, but it is actually more like turning Japanese materials into Chinese methods?

However, traditional Chinese beef stew with potatoes does not add crushed black pepper and honey, but star anise, cinnamon, and cooking wine.

So, it can be considered an improved version.

Chapter 21 Reflex Huihe Improved Potato Goulash ([-])

Kato Megumi was anxious.

She knew that her parents must have eaten dinner before they went home, so they shouldn't be able to eat much.

Sure enough, Mrs. Kato put down her chopsticks not long after.

"Very good." She commented, "I called my father and asked him to..."

"No rush." ​​Kato Megumi shook his head.

"Hey?"

"And Luo Jun's cooking."

Mrs. Kato was a little surprised to see a competitive spirit in her daughter.

However, change is of course a good thing.

Thinking of this, she showed a meaningful smile to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen swallowed subconsciously, feeling like a chicken being looked down upon by an eagle, trembling in the sight of the other party.

What a lovely reaction.

Mrs. Kato was afraid to scare him, so she turned her eyes to the improved version of goulash.

The dishes in the bowl are brightly colored. Potatoes, beef, and carrots are all wrapped in rich sauces, and the red peppers on top are reflected in the light, as if they have been processed by a beauty camera.

Compared with the soft beef belly slices in the original Japanese potato beef stew, the plump beef brisket is obviously more appetizing.

So, despite being full, she picked up the chopsticks and took the biggest piece.

The beef brisket was extremely springy, and the clamped part was instantly sunken, and the juice squeezed from it soaked the chopsticks, as if you could hear the sound of "puff".

Is this still goulash?

It is completely beyond the scope of understanding!

Mrs. Kato sat there with a dull expression on her face.

Seeing this situation, even the confident Luo Zhen felt uneasy: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Mrs. Kato came back to her senses and nodded: "Okay, I'll just...ahh...(￣～￣)chew..."

Foul!

The beef is unbelievably tender, but not as rotten as meatballs or hamburger meat, but full of chewiness.

What's more, at the moment of biting down, the juice splashed out and filled the mouth in an instant.

The sweet sauce with a strong aroma of beef, together with the thoroughly tasted potatoes, successfully captured the taste buds and made people unable to extricate themselves.

By the time Mrs. Kato realized it, half of the bowl had been wiped out, and there was still beef brisket on the chopsticks.

Will be fat!

Can't eat any more!

However, she couldn't stop at all: "(￣～￣) chew!"

Looking at her mother, Megumi Kato couldn't help but sighed, knowing that she had lost everything.

"Luo Jun, that's great." She said convincingly, "This time you won."

Luo Zhen shook his head: "No, madam hasn't..."

Before the words were finished, Mrs. Kato spoke: "Mr. Luo is really wicked. Do you want me, a mother, to say something that hurts my daughter's self-confidence?"

"I did not mean that."

"puff!"

"???"

"Luo Jun is so cute, no wonder our Xiaohui is willing to bring you home for the night."

This sentence is too ambiguous!

Can you stop being so vague?

Luo Zhen complained in his heart, but he still tried his best to maintain a smile on the surface.

It's a pity that this effort was in vain. Instead, he only got a sentence of "so cute", which made him speechless for a long time.

all in all……

wanna die!

Mrs. Kato wiped her mouth and looked at her daughter: "By the way, what is the theme of your cooking showdown?"

Megumi Kato replied: "The taste of home."

"That's obviously our Xiaohui won~"

"Please be serious."

"Could it be that you are worried that if you surpass Luo Jun, he will be angry?"

"mom!"

"O(∩_∩)O haha~"

Luo Zhen turned his head to one side, staring at the stove, pretending not to hear what the two of them said.

Fortunately, this awkward conversation did not last.

Mrs. Kato muttered "I have eaten too much", stood up with her waist supported, and said, "Luo Jun, I will prepare a set of pajamas for you. You are a boy, so it should be fine to take a shower first?"

Luo Zhen nodded subconsciously, then reacted, and shook his head again: "Madam, I can't live..."

"Still calling me 'ma'am'?"

"A... Auntie."

"Since you called me 'Auntie', then listen to me and stay here."
