life in the world

"Shut up, shut up! Who would believe that a pervert like you can cook...and what are you trying to do by tricking me into your house?!"

"There are two younger sisters who are in the first grade of high school and one younger sister who is in the third grade of middle school. What can I do to you?"

Harutaki spread his hands, turned his head and left.

In fact, what he said earlier was nothing more than a clumsy aggressive method——

How could he really leave the girl alone on the street at night and ignore her.

"Give me the money, and I'll go back by tram..."

"No cash."

"Liar."

However, after turning Hoshikawa Harutaki's backpack inside out, Izumi Nogami really didn't find any cash.

Not a single coin.

This was also a problem that caused Harutaki himself a headache.

The habit of cashless payment that has been developed over the years will not be adjusted in a short time.

Standing in place, she watched Harutaki go further and further away, couldn't help stomping her feet in annoyance, gritted her teeth and chased after——

It would be fine if there were really three younger sisters, but if that guy Xingchuan dared to lie to her, she would definitely run out and call the police immediately.

Although in her opinion, Xingchuan Harutaki did not seem like a person who would be controlled by desire to commit crimes.

Chapter 42--Today's meal at Xingchuan's family

Squeak, he stretched out his hand to push the door, and Harutaki Xingchuan found that his sisters had already arrived home, so he gave up the idea of ​​taking the keys from the bag again.

The ceiling light in the porch exudes a soft light similar to the evening twilight, illuminating the small space and warming the owner who has been rushing back home.

"I am back."

While taking out the clean slippers for guests from the shoe cabinet, he turned his head and explained to Izumi Nogami, so that the latter would not feel disgusted again.

"Because there are no customers, no one has used the slippers that have been prepared all the time..."

"You think I'm a spoiled young lady like your Sifang classmates?"

After the slipper was snatched from her hand, Chun Taki was really confused about her temper like she had been shot.

Why did it somehow get involved with Sifang students?

On the other hand, Izumi Nogami, who was stern on the surface, heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart after seeing the three pairs of women's uniform shoes of different sizes placed neatly together at the entrance——

This guy Xingchuan didn't lie to himself, he really has three younger sisters in his family.

In this way, she can feel a little more at ease.

However, although it is not the first time to visit other people's houses, for her two friends, Saei Hyuga and Minako Sanada, the number of times she lives outside is not only rare, but she has never even been to the opposite sex's house. experience.This made her feel unavoidably very prim.

It's just Harutaki Xingchuan...

Izumi Nogami, who was cheering himself up in his heart, had just calmed down for a moment, when his heartbeat that had slowed down was disrupted by the sound of footsteps.

"Hey, brother idiot, didn't you say on Line that you would prepare dinner by yourself? Why—"

"That, Ayaka..."

"—I don't want to check what time it is, are you embarrassed to find an excuse? I met a cute cat again on the road? Isn't this reason too weak?"

"Wait a moment……"

"Huh? What else do you want to explain? I've already cooked the rice, you want to—"

Under Harutaki's various reminders and hints, Ayaka Hoshikawa immediately closed her mouth when she noticed that there was another person behind him.

Come on, what a joke! ?

My eldest brother actually brought the girl home?

Or at this time of night?

"Hi, excuse me..."

Although he was uncomfortable being stared at by Xuanxia, ​​after seeing the scene just now, Nogami Izumi not only did not laugh at Haru Taki's thought of being speechless by his sister's reprimand, but was also very grateful——

At least this seemingly imposing and decent younger sister is at home, and this guy Xingchuan should not be able to do anything excessive to her.

Hearing her sister Xuanxia reprimanding her elder brother at the door again, she was determined not to let any of the bustling Fukino go, so she tiptoed over like a hunter who had spotted a prey.

However, when she saw a slim and beautiful girl of the same age standing next to her elder brother Chun Taki, she immediately couldn't hold back herself.

"Wow! A real girlfriend?! Harutaki, you are amazing! How are you doing? Have you ever held hands? Have you ever kissed? Yes—"

"I haven't done it, and I'm not going to do it tonight. I don't need your help to go to the convenience store to buy an umbrella and be arrested and educated as a perverted elementary school student. I don't need your guidance on what to do if I suddenly become soft before doing it."

"That is to say, I have held hands and kissed lips?!"

Why is this guy Fukino always able to discover blind spots in another way?

"It's the first time we meet, I am Nogami, Izumi Nogami, please give me your advice in the future."

Seeing that Harutaki was left speechless when asked by his schoolboy-like sister, Izumi Nogami had no choice but to stand up to ease the awkward atmosphere, and at the same time divert the topic——

Even if she took the initiative to kiss, she didn't want others to know that she had kissed Xingchuan.

Neither can my sister!

"Sister Nogami, good evening, I'm Hoshikawa Touno, Harutaki's youngest sister, please give me your advice!"

As soon as the words fell, Dong Nai asked Nogami Quan persistently.

"Hey, what's the relationship between you and your brother?"

"classmate."

"girlfriend."

The two who spoke in unison looked at each other, and Harutaki, who was rushing to answer, was glared at by the other party.

"It's a girlfriend."

"It's a classmate."

Is this intentional to embarrass her?

Nogami Izumi gritted his teeth and held back his anger.

Although the family education did not correct her bad personality and distorted ideas, as the only daughter of a wealthy family, etiquette must not be lost——

In particular, she is often regarded as the apple of the eye by her father, who is brought to various social occasions to introduce friends, colleagues, and even partners. Her effort in etiquette is no worse than that of Sifang Diezi.

Of course, the premise is that she completely disguised her true nature.

Even though her eyes are still sharp, but if it is matched with her proud and confident temperament, no matter who sees her, she will praise the rich and proud girl.

"That is to say, there is only one film missing!?"

Smiling, Fuyuno pushed Harutaki's belly with his elbow.

Harutaki Xingchuan:?

Izumi Nogami:!

Hearing Fukino's ridicule, she almost couldn't hold back her expression, she could not help reaching out her hand quietly, and pinched Harutaki's lower back hard—

Sure enough, my brother is a nonsense guy, and my sister is not serious at all!

Compared to these two brothers and sisters, Xuanxia, ​​who beat Fuyuno with a knife and apologized repeatedly, is more like a qualified head of the family, right?

As for Harutaki, who was enduring the pain in his lower back...

He was wronged too!

During the nearly one month of his rebirth, not to mention the communication between him and Fuyuno was comparable to that of Ayaka, the number of chats may not even be a fraction of Chiaki's.Even in the few exchanges he had, he already felt that something was wrong with his youngest third sister, but he never thought that the latter was better at telling dirty jokes than he was.

No wonder Xuanxia has to set aside a certain amount of time to go to the junior high school next door to discipline this child.

After asking his sisters to help entertain Nogami-san, Harutaki put down his schoolbag, washed his face, put on his apron, and hurriedly packed up today's dinner.

In order to successfully surprise his younger sisters, since the end of the school entrance exam a few days ago, he has made several trips to supermarkets to prepare ingredients. Some seasonings are still purchased in Chinese supermarkets by using the map navigation.

However, the problem of ingredients is small, and the most troublesome thing for him is the problem of taste.So what he wants to do is not the authentic Chongguo cuisine in his previous life, but the relatively close Chinese cuisine after fine-tuning.

Chun Taki himself has no special taboos in terms of taste except spicy and aniseed ingredients, so no matter whether it is sweet, sour, salty or spicy, he basically wants to get close to his sisters' preferences.

Dong Nai likes sweet and sour taste the most, so he is going to make sweet and sour pork.

Qianqiu's hobbies are a bit beyond his expectation - he is usually dull-spoken, but he prefers spicy food in taste.So, he decided to choose mapo tofu with slightly spicy ingredients.

On the other hand, Ayaka said that she wanted to eat lighter vegetarian dishes.

Well, although I caught a glimpse of her secretly pinching her belly inadvertently, Chun Taki of EQ Online would never say it.

In the end, the Xingchuan family’s dinner today is as follows——

Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, mapo tofu, vinegared yam, cold dish is celery vinegar mixed with peanuts, soup is a clear soup made with mushrooms such as enoki mushrooms and white jade mushrooms, and the staple food is white rice as usual.

After the tenderloin was cut into strips and marinated with cooking wine, ginger, and egg white for a quarter of an hour, he boiled the water while chopping and blanching the celery that Xuanxia had washed in advance. Soak peanuts in vinegar, and the first cold dish is easily completed.

During the remaining time of marinating the tenderloin, he briskly washed the yams and carrots, peeled and sliced ​​them for later use, then sautéed the ingredients in the pan, then quickly stir-fried the vegetables, and finally poured in a little salt and sugar prepared in advance Vinegar sauce, take it out of the pan immediately if it changes color slightly.

As for mapo tofu, because it not only pays attention to spicy, but also pays attention to "hot", so it has to wait until the sweet and sour pork is cooked as the last dish.

?

With the idea of ​​not embarrassing her flamboyant elder brother in front of outsiders, Ayaka quietly poked her head out of the corner to observe, wanting to see if there was anything she could do to help.

However, looking at Xingchuan Chuntaki's familiar cooking techniques in the kitchen, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​helping.

Sure enough, he is no longer the brother he used to be...

Not to mention being fluent in kitchen knives, with Harutaki's lazy and incompetent appearance, she would feel quite incredible just to have the intention to cook dinner for her younger sisters.

However, the original elder brother is no longer there, whether it is a split personality or an urban legend, in fact, there is not much sadness in Xuanxia's heart, and there is even a little bit of extremely cold-blooded luck in her opinion——

Maybe the three younger sisters have exhausted their friendship with their former elder brother?

No siblings, no family, all that's left over the years is disgust, resentment, and the exhaustion of having to take care of them.

This is fine now...

That's fine now.

A brother who can really take care of them, care about them, and dote on them, a perfect brother who is a little strange in reality but is so familiar in his dreams.

Chapter 43--Something Not Right

The sour taste is like a vacuum cleaner, constantly stimulating the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, and even the walls of the esophagus and stomach, forcefully sucking out the saliva and appetite.Paired with the right taste of salty and sweet, sweet but not greasy, only a few more mouthfuls of plain rice can compete with it, which is simply a nightmare for dieters.

The sauce is half soft and half hard, and the slightly crispy dough forms a perfect contrast with the tenderloin wrapped in it...

"This is... Fried Pork Tenderloin Tempura with Tomato Sauce?"

"Sweet and sour pork tenderloin."

Xingchuan Harutaki glanced at Nogami Izumi speechlessly, and found that the rice in the other party's bowl had been reduced by half, and asked with great interest:

"How is it? Does it suit your taste? Nogami-san?"

"It's... barely okay."

The rice grains with the sauce on the corner of your mouth completely betray you, Nogami-san.

It can make this eldest lady taste seriously without even noticing her appearance. He thinks that compared with his previous cooking skills, the gap should not be too big.

As for how this cooking skill came about?

He can only say that this is a skill that an exquisite single youth has to master—even though the fact is that he is not allowed to eat takeaway frequently at home.

Miss Nogami was obviously very satisfied with the dinner he carefully prepared, but in his heart, the opinions of the three younger sisters were more important.

After all, it is impossible for Izumi Nogami to come to his house for dinner every day.

So, while slowly using the chopsticks to put the rice in his mouth, he observed the reactions of his sisters from the corner of his eyes without any trace——

The first is Ayaka Hoshikawa.

She seems to like the slightly salty and light mushroom soup, and she has already served the second bowl.But... didn't she say before that she wanted to eat vegetarian food?Why is the bowl full of sweet and sour pork?
