Chapter 174: Eel Rice
Masayoshi Kishimoto's stomach suddenly sent a signal to remind him that he needed to eat. He understands that he can hold Natsui Makoto like this forever, but it doesn't solve the problem of his hunger.
Kishimoto asked calmly, "What do you want to eat at noon?"
Natsui Makoto looked at him sideways, pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you hungry?"
Masayoshi Kishimoto still held her in his hands and admitted, "I've almost digested everything I ate in the morning." Can you not be hungry?"
Natsui Makoto thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat monjaki! I know there is a monja here, which is not only economical, but also delicious." β
Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled bitterly and objected: "I don't want to eat monja, I want to eat something with rice, can I change it?"
Makoto Natsui blurted out: "Beef rice." β
As soon as Masayoshi Kishimoto heard the word "beef rice", he immediately thought of Yoshinoya. He was already tired of eating this thing in his last life.
I still let him eat it for the rest of his life, and he definitely don't say, "Let's go eat eel rice!" I know that there is a restaurant in Taitung District that has a first-class eel rice. β
"How expensive is that!" Xia Jing Makoto has lived a hard life for nearly twenty years, and has already developed the habit of frugality. For her, eel rice is the most luxurious once a year.
The Japanese have a tradition of eating eel rice on hot days. According to them, it is better to take tonic than the hot summer, similar to China's autumn fat. It's just that the time of the two is different, and the essential meaning is exactly the same.
It's January, and winter hasn't passed yet. Eel rice is definitely sold, but the price is much more expensive than eating eel rice in summer.
"I've been craving eel rice for noon today. Kishimoto said with a tone of non-concession.
Natsui Makoto suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and she regarded him as a poor person like her in the past. The two of them waited in line for more than half an hour in the winter of Christmas Eve, just to eat taiyaki from a street shop.
Masayoshi Kishimoto can live in Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, which means that he can eat whatever he wants, and he can not care about the price at all.
"Okay! I'll just listen to you. Natsui Makoto didn't insist on his opinion.
Masayoshi Kishimoto let go of the hands that held her, and then held her arms left and right, pushed the other party to sit up, and said, "Put away the door key." Let's go. β
Natsui Makoto then went to take the door key that he had placed on the glass coffee table in his hand. Her first feeling after getting started was not as light as her own door key, but a certain sense of weight, quite a drop.
When she looked at the key in her hand again, it was obvious that the workmanship was more delicate. I sighed in my heart that the door keys of rich people are different.
The two held hands and left with their fingers clasped. They walked down the road, looking just like the other little couples who came and went.
Kishimoto is not afraid of meeting anyone. Even if it's a friend of Rie Sakai, it doesn't matter. At that time, she will be able to buy a brand-name bag or a brand-name dress and a pair of brand-name shoes by herself, so that she will keep her mouth shut as if she has never seen anything.
If one is not enough, then two. How big of a deal this can be, it's nothing more than money. The words will never reach Rie Sakai's ears. Who made her friends just children from ordinary middle-class families?
Although Masayoshi Kishimoto moved to Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, and spent more time on the road to work than in the past, the benefits were greatly reduced, greatly reducing the probability of Rie Sakai encountering the embarrassing scene of herself and Makoto Natsui together.
After all, Rie Sakai spends a lot less time in Taito. In addition to studying at Tokyo University of the Arts, she will return to Minato.
Even if she participates in the activities of the Rose Society, it will mainly be within the Minato area. People who live in Minato have a natural sense of superiority and exclusivity.
This sense of superiority is different from that of people who live in Setagaya Ward. The latter always likes to put "Setagaya" on his lips in order to show a difference.
Masayoshi Kishimoto estimates that after Rie Sakai graduates from university, the opportunity to go to Taito Ward all year round may not even be counted on one hand.
Ueno and Asakusa are bustling with Roppongi, Azabu-Juban, Shirokane Koro, Akasaka, Tokyo Tower, and so on.
In Kishimoto's view, one lives in Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, and the other lives in Ueno, Taito-ku, so this arrangement is good. Even if you have to travel between the two districts, it's worth it.
Makoto Natsui walked to the door of the store with Masayoshi Kishimoto, and knew from the decoration of its tall faΓ§ade that consumption would not be civilian, but a high-end restaurant.
She didn't say anything, and she couldn't help but start to get nervous in her heart, after all, it was the first time in her life that she walked into such an upscale place.
Natsui Makoto's inner lack of confidence and worry was immediately reflected in her body movements. She gripped Kishimoto's hand very tightly, just as a child likes to grasp the adult's hand to seek protection when he encounters something that disturbs his heart.
Masayoshi Kishimoto felt the tension coming from her, and he didn't feel too much surprise. I believe that the more times she comes to such a high-end store in the future, she will gradually become accustomed and unhurried.
The two were ushered into a small private room by the waitress. She waited until the guests were seated face-to-face, and waited patiently for their orders.
Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't look through the recipe in front of him and said, "Give each of us a bowl of your signature eel rice." β
The waitress said "Please wait", and then closed the door of the private room and withdrew.
Only then did Natsui Makoto have the courage to open the recipe that was placed in front of him. She didn't look at it, and she couldn't stand it when she saw it, as if her head was starting to lack oxygen. For myself, this price is just too expensive.
"Ordinary eel rice is nothing more than a layer of grilled eel meat on top. The big deal with the so-called super eel rice is to add an extra layer of grilled eel meat in the middle of the rice, that is, to form two layers.
This one's signature eel rice is very distinctive. It is grilled eel with three layers: top, middle and bottom, sandwiched with rice. Not only that, but they don't choose artificially bred eels in their selection of materials, but wild eels.
This wild eel is served with an exclusive sauce, and it tastes good and is generous, just one bowl is sure to fill you up. Kishimoto said with a smile.
Makoto Natsui stopped at the page of the signature eel rice, and her eyes straightened. She looked at the price and smiled bitterly, "Our meal like this is more expensive than my monthly meal." Doesn't it taste good and the portion is sufficient?"
