On Saturday, April 4th, just before four o'clock in the afternoon, a café in Nishi-Shinjuku.

Drinking a drink, Lan remembered what Yuanzi had said when he came in the afternoon, so he asked, "By the way, Yuanzi, what do you mean when you say that the class is almost over?"

After taking a sip of her drink, the garden said, "Oh, I've already finished all the classes my mother arranged, but I signed up for the cooking class myself. ”

"Cooking?cooking class?" asked Midaiko with a smile, "What are you doing in this class?"

"It's French cuisine. Yuan Zi smiled, "I watched those chefs on the boat that day, and they were really handsome when they cooked. Then he fantasized and said, "If it were me, it would be ......."

Mei Daizi smiled and asked, "Ran, have you ever passed the homework class in Yuanzi elementary school?"

"I don't remember. Lan laughed.

"What are you laughing at, I tell you, I also signed you up. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Huh?" Midako and Ran were taken aback.

"Don't thank me, we're good friends. Yuan Zi smiled, "When the time comes, you can help me, I just need to serve the side dishes, with my artistic ability, those dishes will be very beautiful." ”

"It turned out to be a plate-serving. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Then you might as well come to Mei Dai Restaurant. Lan laughed.

"You two, I'm serious. The garden said angrily.

"Okay, good," Lan smiled, "don't be angry." ”

"When was that class?" asked Midaiko.

Sonoko said, "On Saturdays and Sundays, from half past six to half past nine, it's next door in Kakuto Town. ”

"Huh?" said Lan in surprise, "wouldn't it be about ten o'clock to come back, and my father wouldn't have agreed." ”

Yuan Zi said: "It seems that you can try it, and my uncle will definitely go." ”

"And what about me? Saturday and Sunday evenings at half past six, it's okay to leave home," said Maidako, "if only it were half an hour late." ”

"I can't help it, you can figure it out for yourself. Yuan Zi waved his hand, and then said, "By the way, tonight is the first day. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Sonoko, what are you going to study there?"

"Learn how to cook French food. Sonoko said, then took out a book from her carry-on bag, "This is the cookbook by Yoshitomo Uemori, she's a big celebrity." He flipped it up as he spoke.

Looking at the picture on the book, Lan smiled, "It looks delicious." ”

"Do you want to bring anything with you?" asked Midaiko.

"Don't you?" Sonoko scratched her head, "Anyway, tonight's class is free." ”

"Free?" Lan asked, "By the way, how much does this lesson cost?"

"10,000 yen per class, in fact, you buy the right to use that dish, otherwise you can't sell it in a restaurant. The garden said.

Mei Daiko asked, "How much does it cost?" I mean, how many classes?"

"I don't know," said Yuanzi, "I just signed up, and I haven't paid yet, so I'm going to experience it tonight." ”

"I see. Lan and Mei Daizi said. ……

Evening, Maori home, living room.

As she ate dinner, Lan told her that she was going to a cooking class, and it was exactly as she guessed.

Maori said, "Half past nine in the evening? no, no, it is absolutely not possible to go up that late." ”

Conan said, "Uncle, let's go with us, there is a place where you can taste delicious French food, and then you can taste what delicious French food tastes like for free." ”

"Well," Maori touched his chin, "Okay." Then he said to Lan, "I didn't go with you because I wanted to eat French food, I went because I was worried about you." ”

"Yes, yes, I know that. Lan laughed. ……

Evening, Miyamoto's house, living room.

While eating dinner, Midaiko told her about going to a cooking class.

"If you want to go," Miyamoto said, then said to Yamazaki, "you come with her." ”

"It's okay, Mom, don't worry. Mei Daiko said.

"That's why I'm not worried, Eiri probably wouldn't want to go to the police station in Kakudo Town in the middle of the night to get someone. Miyamoto Miko laughed.

"Mom. Mei Daizi protested embarrassedly.

"By the way," Miyakoto said to Yamazaki, "bring some cash with you, I've heard that there are some tricks in here." ”

"I see. Yamazaki said.

"What's that?" asked Midaiko.

"You'll know when you run into it. Miyamoto Miko laughed. ……

At six o'clock in the evening, Kakuto Town Kamimi Mori Tomo's house.

Sonoko's car dropped off Sonoko, Mori, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Maidiko, and went to the parking lot not far away.

As soon as the group walked through the courtyard to the door, the door opened, and it seemed that they were seen through the window.

A young woman of twenty-three or fourteen years old stood behind a row of shoes and said with a smile: "You are Miss Sonoko, Miss Lan, Miss Mei Daiko and their families, I am Uemori-sensei's assistant, Yuko Komiyama, welcome, please come in." ”

"Excuse me. "The group changed their shoes and went in.

In the middle of the living room there are three rows of cooking tables, and the table is against the wall, and a woman in her forties sits at the table.

Sitting there is also one of today's students, who is a classmate of her teacher in high school, Kazueda Yashiro, who runs a clothing store. Yuko Komiyayama introduced the two parties, "This is Miss Sonoko, Miss Ran, Miss Mei Daiko and their families. ”

After greeting each other, Yuko Komiyayama invited Mori, Conan, and Yamazaki to the table, "I'll put it here when the dish is ready, and I'm looking forward to your evaluation." ”

"How dare you do that. Maori smiled and stopped.

At this moment, a man in his mid-thirties came in, and at the same time a woman in her thirties, wearing an eyepatch over her right eye, came out of the room.

Yuko Komiyayama introduced, "This is Mr. Hiroaki Nishitani, who has become a first-class French chef, and this Miss Uemori is the daughter-in-law of our Uemori-sensei, and they are all students of this evening. Then he introduced Yuan Zi and the others.

"Miss Smoke, what's the deal with that blindfold?" asked Kazue Yashiro.

"It's nothing, it's the eye of a needle. Kamimori touched the blindfold.

Yayo Kazueda said to the three of them, "By the way, I advise you to be mentally prepared, that one is very ......."

"Miss Kazueda, don't scare people. Nishitani Hiroaki smiled, "Please rest assured, the teacher is definitely not aimed at people." ”

Yuan Zi smiled: "It's okay, anyway, if I am said, I must be the only one." ”

Lan asked, "By the way, where has Uemori-sensei gone?"

Kazue Yashiro said, "She went to the beauty salon. ”

Yuko Komiyayama said: "The teacher will have a live broadcast on Rice Flower TV tomorrow afternoon. ”

Yashiro Kazueda said: "Miss Yuko, at least a third of her ideas were created by you, and it doesn't matter if your name is not on the book, it ...... connected to the TV show."

Yuko Komiyayama said, "Don't talk about this, Miss Kazueda, these are not important anymore. ”

Yashiro Kazue said, "Why, the recipes you created yourself were stolen, but those are your own recipes that you have painstakingly created during your five years as an assistant under Michi, and they are much more popular than the ones she created." ”

Yuko Komiyayama said, "The teacher has revised all of those. ”

"Even if you modify something, it's still yours after all. Yashiro Kazueda said, "You can't even say such a word, do you have a problem?" ”

"That's enough, don't say any more, Miss Kazueda. Nishitani said, "This is a problem between the two of them, the teacher and Miss Yuko, and it is not our turn for outsiders to intervene." ”

"Really?" said Kazueda Yashiro, "yes, you've been receiving money from Michi, so how could you possibly speak ill of your teacher." ”

Nishitani said, "That, that has nothing to do with this. ”

At this time, a fat woman in her forties entered the courtyard, and Yuko Komiyayama and others found out and immediately walked towards the entrance, and the three people in the garden and the three in Maori also followed.

Yuko Komiyayama ran to the entrance to get her shoes ready, and then opened the door, "You're back, sensei." ”

"I'm back. Yoshitomo Uemori said, then said to the crowd, "I'm sorry I came back late. Then he changed his shoes, came in and said to the three of them, "The three of you are Miss Sonoko, Miss Lan, and Miss Midaiko, right? I'm Yoshitomo Uemori, please give me a lot of advice." ”

"Garden, orchid, Mei Daizi, please advise. The three of them said separately.

Maori stepped forward and said, "I'm ......"

Yoshitomo Uemori said, "Nishitani, excuse me, my shoulder hurts a little. So saying, he went in.

"This is the brooch you asked me for, and I've fixed it. Yashiro Kazue took out a hand jewelry box and showed the gemstone brooch inside.

Yoshitomo Uemori glanced at it, "Ah Xun, you go and put it away, and then come over and help me take the pulse." ”

Handing over the hand ornament box to Kamimori, Yashiro Kazueda muttered quietly, "What, I didn't even say thank you." ”

Lan asked, "Teacher, is there anything wrong with her?"

"She's just too fat, because Xiao Xun used to be a nurse, so every time she comes back from the door, she asks Xiao Xun to help her take her pulse. Yashiro Kazueda said, "Although her son is an excellent cadre of the company, he is overly doted on because he is an only son, so he is an annoying selfish man, and Michi is the kind of person who will abuse his daughter-in-law, and Ah Xun is really pitiful." ”

Sonoko asked, "I heard that the teacher's husband has passed away due to illness, is it true?"

"Yes," Yashiro sighed, "he's such a good old man." ”

While talking, Kamihiro Kamimori took the pulse of Yoshitomo Uemori, and after knowing that there was no problem, Yoshitomo Kamihiro Uemori asked Hiroaki Nishitani to stop holding on her shoulder and go to prepare ingredients with Kamito Kamimori, while she went to the room to change clothes.

"Poof!" Midaiko burst out laughing, then looked at the garden and sat down with her stomach clutched.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Sonoko, "Lan, is there something on my face?"

"No, I don't. Lan said.

"Lan, Lan, I, I'll tell you. Mei Daiko beckoned.

"What?" Lan put her ear up, and the garden wanted to hear it too, but was blocked by Mei Daizi's hand.

"So......" Lan laughed as she looked at the garden as she listened.

"You two," said the garden, anxious, "what the hell are you talking about?" ”

"I can't say for the time being. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Tell me. The garden said.

"Not really for now. Lan laughed.

"Then you promise not to laugh again. The garden said.

"We promise not to laugh anymore. Lan and Mei Daizi pursed their lips and said.

At this time, Yuko Komiyayama came to inform them that the class would be going to be held in a while, asked them to wash their hands, and told them that the bathroom was divided into men and women so that they should not be mistaken, and at the same time handed out an apron, and then saw that Mori took out a cigarette, and immediately went to stop him, "Sir, you can't smoke here." ”

"I'm sorry. Maori put away his cigarettes.

Soon after, Yoshitomo Uemori came out, Yuko Komiyayama sent out the menu for tonight, Hiroaki Nishitani and Uemori brought the ingredients, and at 6:40 p.m., the cooking class began. ……
