Chapter XXVII
Nana Hashimoto, who felt a little tired, took a cushion behind her back and sat down against the corner. The novel in her hand was casually flipped through by her, and her somewhat sloppy eyes showed that she was not focusing on the book.
Thinking about what she had just experienced in the tea room, Nana Hashimoto felt that she needed to digest this information well.
However, just as Nana Hashimoto leaned against the corner and thought about the relationship between herself and Chiya, Mai Shiraishi opened the door and walked in.
Mai Shiraishi, who was wearing a white yukata, wiped her wet hair with a towel on her shoulder, her fair skin was flushed with moisture, revealing a hint of ruddy, and her beautiful face walked into the room barefoot with a relaxed smile.
Nana Hashimoto looked helplessly at the wet footprints left by Mai Shiraishi on the floor and said, "Mai, wipe off the water on your feet and come in!" ”
Mai Shiraishi said to Nanami Hashimoto with a flattering smile, "I'm sorry, Nanamin! After saying that, he hurriedly sat at the door and wiped off the water droplets on his feet and the wet footprints on the floor with a towel.
"Nanamin, your cleanliness habit is getting worse and worse, I don't know if Qianye-san will be able to stand it in the future." Mai Shiraishi, who had dried the droplets of water from her feet, walked directly to Nanami Hashimoto's side and leaned on her.
"Don't lean over with wet hair!" Nana Hashimoto didn't dislike and pushed Mai Shiraishi's head to the side, and then said to Mai Shiraishi with a shy face: "You be quiet, Mai." If I am heard by others, I can really only graduate! ”
Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto with a narrow smile on her face, patted her considerable chest and said, "Don't worry, I drove it when I came in, and there was no one outside." After speaking, he put his shoulder on Nanami's arm and asked, "Nanamin, what did you do just now?" I'm going to go to the hot springs with you. Ah, the hot springs here in Senya-san are really comfortable, and the skin is much better after soaking. ”
Nana Hashimoto lowered her head and flipped through the novel in her hand, and answered Mai Shiraishi's question a little casually: "Nana Sai came to me just now, saying that she wanted to ask Qianye some questions, so I went with her to find Qianye and drink tea with him." ”
Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto with some curiosity, and asked inexplicably, "Nanasai?" What is she looking for in Qianye-san? ”
Nanami Hashimoto didn't seem to be willing to tell what happened to Nanase Nishino, so he said a little perfunctorily: "It's nothing, Nanasai is just a little curious about Onmyoji, and we're just chatting." ”
Mai Shiraishi didn't seem to notice Nanami Hashimoto's perfunctory, but suddenly hugged Nanami Hashimoto's arm and whispered into her ear: "Then Nana Min, did you ask Qianye-san, does he really like you?" ”
Nanami Hashimoto's face suddenly turned crimson, puffed out her cheeks and said shyly: "Mai-like what are you talking about!" With Nana Sai here, how could I possibly ask such a question. After speaking, he pushed Mai Shiraishi in shame and said, "Mai, if you don't hurry up and change your clothes, it's almost time for dinner." You wouldn't want to go to dinner like that, would you? You don't have anything in there. ”
Mai Shiraishi smiled, stood up indifferently, took off her yukata in front of Nanami Hashimoto, and rummaged through her clothes.
Nana Hashimoto did not raise her hand and slapped Mai Shiraishi's buttocks, and said angrily: "Don't be naked in the room, what if someone comes in?" ”
Mai Shiraishi took out her clothes from her suitcase and smiled at Nanami Hashimoto while putting them on, "It's okay, it's not like the other members haven't seen it." Besides, the staff won't come in. ”
Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi's fleshy body, and couldn't help but feel envious. Although he is also very confident in his figure, he is still a little thinner than Mai Shiraishi. Thinking of this, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but say in an envious tone: "If only I had a nice body like Mai like you!" ”
Mai Shiraishi heard Nanami Hashimoto's words, and suddenly turned to face her, her hands quickly moved up and down in front of her chest, and her mouth let out "Ahhhh Voice.
Looking at Mai Shiraishi's appearance, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly rolled her eyes and threw the cushion behind her towards Mai Shiraishi.
Mai Shiraishi caught the cushion and looked at Nanami Hashimoto, and both of them laughed.
——————————————————
The evening dinner was held in the underground dojo, and Qianye made Ruodie set up two rows of tables in the dojo, and the atmosphere was like a banquet in the Taihe drama.
After the members of Nogizaka 46 and the "Banana Man" as the host entered and sat down, the dinner officially began at the signal of Senya.
The servants began to serve the food, and the first thing that was served was thinly sliced sashimi made from a whole carp. The bamboo tray is covered with crushed ice, and on top of the crushed ice are plates for carp sashimi, the bottom of which is covered with fresh young bamboo leaves.
Looking at the thinly sliced sashimi that was served, Shile Tong couldn't help but admire: "It's amazing!" In ancient times, carp was the best in sashimi. This knife work is also very powerful, and the fish meat is almost transparent. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, showed it to the camera, and dipped it in wasabi soy sauce and swallowed it with a look of enjoyment.
Himura Yuki also picked up a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and the delicious and refreshing fish made Himura Yuki's eyes light up, and he exclaimed, "It's delicious!" It deserves to be carp sashimi. ”
Seeing that the members of Nogizaka 46 on the side were looking at the sashimi in front of them with longing eyes, Chiya smiled happily and said to everyone, "Everyone please feel free, no formality." Sashimi is something that tastes good while it's fresh. ”
And the members of Nogizaka 46 couldn't bear it anymore and moved their chopsticks one after another, and for a while, the girls' delicate admiration was endless.
And as the banquet progressed, the second course was also served. Nana Hashimoto didn't look up, and what was served was a grilled sweetfish served on a shallow plate. The sweetfish is grilled to the point of being fragrant, and it is served with a slice of lemon and a small handful of mashed radishes to taste.
The grilled fish is served with a plate of tempura with just the right amount of tempura. The red and white tempura is made with shrimp and another ingredient, and Nanami Hashimoto didn't recognize what ingredient it was made with because of the tempura clothes. Curious, she picked up a piece of white tempura, dipped it in the tempura juice in a small bowl next to her, and put it in her mouth.
The tempura, which is fried to a golden brown, is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the ingredients wrapped in the inside are crisp and refreshing, and after a few chews, the mouth is immediately filled with a fresh fragrance. Nana Hashimoto's eyes widened, and after swallowing with some reluctance, she couldn't help but ask Qianye, "Qianye-san, what is this made of?" It's delicious! ”
Qianye smiled and pointed to Ruodie, who was standing aside, and said, "The food of the company has always been in charge of Ruodie, Miss Hashimoto, you should ask her." ”
Ruodie bowed slightly and explained, "This is a tempura made with this year's new spring bamboo shoots and fresh green shrimp, taking advantage of the freshness and freshness of its seasonal ingredients. ”
"Huh? It's actually a Japanese giant prawn! Very few people make tempura with this ingredient, right? Hearing Ruodie's explanation, Nana Hashimoto asked with some surprise.
Ruodie smiled and explained: "Compared with sea shrimp, green shrimp belong to freshwater shrimp and have a more delicious taste. That's why the little woman uses green shrimp and spring bamboo shoots to make tempura. ”
After listening to Ruodie's explanation, Nana Hashimoto looked at the food in front of her, and said to Ruodie with some envy: "Miss Ruodie, your cooking skills are so good, can I learn cooking skills from you?" ”
Ruodie glanced at Qianye and saw him nodding, so she smiled and said, "Miss Hashimoto wants to learn, so naturally there is no problem." It's just that the little woman's cooking skills are vulgar, and I'm afraid she can't teach Miss Hashimoto anything. ”
Hearing Wakadie say this, Yuki Himura, who was feasting on the side, interjected, "Miss Wakadie, you are too modest, and your cooking skills are not inferior even to the chefs of high-end restaurants in Ginza. If this is considered a crude cook, then there is no one in Japan who can be called a skilled cook. ”
While everyone was talking and laughing, the servants put a dish in front of them.
As one of the favorite members of the Nogizaka 46 group, Ikuta Erika has been stuffing things into her mouth since the beginning of the feast. Whether it's delicious sashimi or crispy tempura, Erika Ikuta has an appetite. Seeing that a new dish was being served, she looked excitedly at the plate, and the chopsticks in her hand were ready to go.
I saw a bright red alfonsino lying on a shallow dish in the shape of lotus leaves, and the brown soup was poured on the fish, exuding an enticing aroma.
Ikuta Erika, who couldn't bear it anymore, swallowed her saliva, stretched out her chopsticks and carefully pinched a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, the sweet fish was cooked just right, and the smooth taste made Ikuta Erika couldn't help but squint her eyes, and her little face was full of happy expressions.
Shiletong looked at the alfonsino that was served and exclaimed: "It's such a high-grade ingredient as alfonsino, today's meal is really a feast!" ”
Yuki Himura also exclaimed, "Delicious alfonsino is not cheap in this season!" Qianye-san, is it so profitable to be an onmyoji? Then I'm going to learn yin and yang from you. ”
Chiya laughed, put down his chopsticks and said to Yuki Himura: "It's not that Onmyoji makes money, but that Taisha has accumulated a lot of industry since the establishment of the Heian period, so it can get a lot of income every year. If you just rely on your business as an onmyoji to make money, then I'm afraid I'll only be able to entertain everyone with vegetables and tofu today. ”
Speaking of this, Chiya suddenly clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the members of Nogizaka 46 and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but I still have something I want to explain." ”
