At dinner, the Sakurai family was still eating at the big restaurant. However, due to the large number of guests, the seats in the servant-only row room were limited, and several round tables were placed in the spacious back hall.

Compared to the Sakurai family's usual delicious menu, the food is much more common now. The guests were eager to help prepare the food, mostly home-cooked dishes. From time to time, there are elderly people who can bring out some nostalgic flavors, which makes diners feel a lot of emotion. Maybe it's because I think of the similar craftsmanship of my deceased relatives, or maybe I taste the lost taste of the street shop in my childhood again, and the relationship between the people becomes more and more harmonious between chewing.

A total of 6 generals and ministers were invited to dine with Sakurai's members, and became the only members of the foreign surname who were allowed to dine with Sakurai's family, except for Watanabe Kotono and Tara. Except for Sakurai Shio, all the trusted people of the Sakurai family gathered here.

Sakurai Moon wanted to ask for a seat for Sengoku Fumiko, but Sakurai Daichi refused without hesitation, it was a little lost, but in order not to embarrass her adoptive father, her sitting posture was more upright than before, her slender hands were lightly clamped and twisted, and she swallowed slowly. Such a demeanor attracted a lot of attention, which made her uncomfortable.

Sakurai Yue is used to eating exquisite dishes, and after tasting the taste of ordinary people, there is no gap, but I feel that it is delicious for a long time. She poked the eggplant on the plate and found that compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the peasant dishes were just less refined and more greasy.

Recalling the bits and pieces of her life with her biological father two months ago, Sakurai Yue is nostalgic and sad in her heart, but she also has to admit that she is living in the current life. She even had the illusion that such an enviable life was bought by her father's death. Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty.

"This meal reminds me of the day of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, when we went to Bian Sha's restaurant to eat and drink together." Sakurai Dazhi raised his chopsticks hesitantly, and rarely smiled, and said to everyone, "This dish is very similar to the one back then, Chinese cabbage stewed, ground pot chicken, sauce sweet elbow, small fried meat." It's just that I didn't coax anymore and my mouth was full of oil. ”

The dark-skinned man with a leopard's head and eyes was the first to respond, "Yes, even after fighting for a few years and eating military rations for a few years, I thought that my tongue had lost its sense of taste." Any cold dish with sauce can serve seven or eight bowls of rice. ”

"Nanjian, you were the one who grabbed it the most back then." The gray-haired uncle laughed with nasolabial folds

"You're not bad, Brother Yu Fan. I remember you had a whole roast goose to yourself. ”

"Hahaha."

The restaurant is lively. Food is silent, but the rules of family meals are time-saving, and now the dinner party intended to be remembered is of course hot.

The yellow-eyed and narrow-eyed Ji Chuan Qi also quipped, "The days back then were really bitter, I was a group, and the army often traveled thousands of miles, and the march was hard, basically it was a dry rough cake and muddy water." If we catch up with the replenishment of grain and grass, we will all rush to grab it, because there is no oil and water, and almost everyone can have seven or eight bowls. ”

Once again, this remark resonated with many people.

Sakurai Tsuki listened quietly to their feelings, and kept imagining the hardships of the war, and whether his biological father's military was more miserable than these generals. Suddenly, someone asked her, it was Ji Chuan Kai, "Miss, is this the first time you have tasted this kind of farmhouse food?" I see you seem to have a soft spot for this fish head tofu. Ji Chuan Qiyao pointed to a red and green fish head and smiled, "Actually, my subordinates have studied this dish quite a lot, and I just tasted it, and I feel that after all, it is an ordinary craft." If the eldest lady appreciates her face, her subordinates also want to show you a real different flavor. ”

Sakurai Yue wanted to talk as little as possible, but when she was asked like this, she could only answer stubbornly, "No need, I think this dish tastes just right, thank you." ”

Ji Chuanqi was stunned for a moment, looked at the eyes cast by everyone, and hurriedly said, "Why do you want to say thank you, eldest lady, I offended your taste, I should apologize to you." ”

Sakurai didn't know how to answer, so she nodded and continued to eat. Seeing this, Ji Chuan Kai was restless, and said to himself, "The eldest lady doesn't seem to be picky about ordinary ingredients, usually the delicacies of the mountains and seas can't limit your taste and tongue, and my subordinates are a little admired." It seems that the eldest lady is really approachable. ”

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, it's not like I haven't eaten ordinary people's food." As soon as Sakurai Yue finished speaking, she felt speechless, and hurriedly made up, "I often solve lunch in the school cafeteria, as long as I am hungry, I don't care so much." ”

"Yes, too."

Sakurai Yue is actually quite dissatisfied with Ji Chuan Kai for always talking to her, she obviously put on a troubled expression, but Ji Chuan Kai doesn't know whether to please or what, and still refuses to let go. So she put on a straight face and said, "How do you divide the food into high and low grades?" The so-called high-end dishes are expensive, rare or extremely nutritious ingredients, and use as few seasonings as possible to lock in the original flavor and maximize their unique taste. Ordinary meals are only slightly different, and the ingredients that can be seen everywhere, even if they are not fresh and delicious, but the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar reveal the fresh aroma brought by the ingredients in the same base taste. In summary, most of the high-end dishes are light, and the ingredients are excellent and do not need too much embellishment; Ordinary dishes are mostly greasy or spicy, used to cover up the defects of the ingredients, and nothing more. Sakurai pauses and continues, "So, ingredients are the most important indicator to determine the level of a dish. But in my opinion, the value of a dish should not be measured by the lower limit of the ingredients, but by the cooking and seasoning that suits you, or the clever collision with other ingredients to bring the final rich taste. ”

As soon as this point of view came out, everyone was shocked, and the unexpected gaze went back and forth between Sakurai's father and daughter.

Higashiyama Minami was the first to figure out Sakurai Yue's words and came to his senses, wiped his dark forehead, and praised, "I didn't expect the eldest lady to evaluate the food so sharply, the logic is clear, and the sentences are reasonable, she really deserves to be the daughter of Sakurai!" ”

"Yes, a simple thing, but you can think so deeply. If I were the same age, I would really not be able to do 100 million points. Someone else sighed loudly.

"Eldest Miss Fangling?"

When Ji Chuan Kai asked this, he was reproached and stopped by the people around him, and almost all of them said, "Is this what you should ask?" ”

Sakurai Yue didn't want to answer, but seeing the embarrassment in Ji Chuankai's smirk, he replied casually, "13 years old." ”

Sakurai Daichi seemed to be quite satisfied with Sakurai Yue's words, his eyebrows were lightly soothed, and he said with a little pride, "Yue'er, I don't completely agree with your point of view just now, but I really can't refute it.

After a short period of time, most of the people who did not drink finished their dinner, and Mrs. Sakurai left with Kotono and Sakurai Tsuki.

Because of her brother's reminder, Sakurai Moon wants to find Kei Himekawa to guide her in magic, but the people of the blue-faced ghost are in full swing, and they don't know when it will end. When she lingered outside the restaurant, Duo Lao returned alone, "Miss, can you come with Lao Chen?" There are some things that you need to take care of. ”

Sakurai looked around, but didn't notice anyone else peeping, so she followed.

It was already dark, and the two of them would definitely not be able to go to the garden in freezing weather. The old man found it in the single castle on the northeast side of the castle, which was also a long-vacant area, and now only a few guest rooms are nearby.

In a room on the fifth floor with light wall decorations but no furniture, Duo Lao closed his eyes and raised his fingers, and a faint green ring spread out to the surroundings. After a short moment, he opened his eyes, "Okay, make sure no one is eavesdropping." ”

"Is there anything that Mr. Duo is looking for me? Is the organization sending a mission? Sakurai Tsuki sniffed the atmosphere, inexplicably nervous.

"No, there's only so much you can do right now, and the organization shouldn't let you do things anytime soon."

"What's that? Mr. Duo didn't come to talk to me. It's still rare to be so sneaky and dangerous. ”

"Of course I know, I've only been to you twice in two months." Duo Lao was calm, "But this time I was looking for you, Sakurai-sama knows, it's better to say that he asked me to come to you." ”

"What's that going on?"

"First of all, I want to say that there is still a big gap between your current words and deeds and the eldest lady who has been cultivated and nurtured since childhood. It is estimated that after a while, adults will find a tutor to cultivate your knowledge in this area. This matter is not mentioned for the time being, the most important thing now is to set up a character for you. ”

"Personality?" Sakurai was puzzled.

"It's probably the person's personality traits and abilities. Based on my observations of you over the past few days, you are kind to your subordinates. But Madame abruptly brought you to meet with the five generals today, and the image you presented in front of those people was diametrically opposite, silent, and unruly. And at dinner, you are mature and thoughtful. Such inconsistencies can lead to a certain degree of suspicion of your identity if you continue to indulge in nature. Not only the red group, but also Sakurai-sama must not want such a situation to happen. ”

"So what should I do?"

Duolai took out a small black book from his arms, "These are a few of the characteristics I set for you." Then he flipped through the scans, "First of all, the first point, cold and silent, it's best not to have too many changes in expression, this can be learned from your little maid." You don't have to react too much to the greetings of your subordinates, just nod or simply respond, or ignore them. Second, they are arrogant and do not allow strangers and strangers to touch them. Third, he has a bright mind, is quite skilled in conversing with people, and can occasionally have a poisonous tongue. This is what I can think of, what a pampered lady should look like. Mainly these major points, the rest can be left to your free play. ”

"I don't know if I can do it well...... Especially the poisonous tongue, for me, it was really difficult. "Sakurai Tsuki is faced with such a problem, and would rather solve a hundred math problems.

"You have to be like this if you don't have confidence, your current behavior is far from what the eldest lady should be." Duo Lao closed the notebook, "I don't have a good memory, let me think about what else I have to say." ”

A little time.

"Oh, Sakurai-sama once told me that you have a great talent for magic. But I hope, no, the Red Order, that you don't have to pursue your magical abilities too much. ”

"Why? I'd like to go to Mr. Kei Himekawa to learn later. ”

"You're just the image of the Sakurai family's vase lady, there's no need to be so Olympiad." At dinner, the Sakurai family was still eating at the big restaurant. However, due to the large number of guests, the seats in the servant-only row room were limited, and several round tables were placed in the spacious back hall.
