Kiyomi Ruri pushed Mai Sugata to the kitchen, looked at the integrated kitchen, and sincerely proposed: "Mai-chan, the stove is a little high, or I'll come?" ”

"It's okay, Sister Kiyomi, I can reach it." Mai Sukada smiled politely at her, pulled a handle from the side of the wheelchair sideways, and shook it a few times, and the wheelchair seat slowly rose so that she could get the stove even if she was sitting.

Kiyomi Ruri didn't expect this wheelchair to be so exquisitely made and lifted, which was also an eye-opener, and he looked at it with some curiosity, no longer insisting, and asked enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?" You can eat anything, my sister will make it for you. ”

Mai Sukada thought about it for a while, and smiled shyly: "Then let's eat curry, I haven't eaten curry rice for a long time." ”

No matter what kind of curry, the preparation method is simple, and the curry powder sold in the supermarket is inseparable, and the taste is basically constant, so it can't be broken.

Kiyomi Ruri smiled to herself and snorted, "That's too easy, I'll come once and make you something delicious." ”

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Mai Sukada would not believe me, and emphasized: "Don't underestimate me, Mai-chan, I'm actually very good, and my cooking level is very high...... Well, among the girls, I can rank first, and everyone else calls me the head of the women's cuisine in Higashitamamachi. ”

Mai Sukada glanced at her in surprise, she didn't expect her to be so confident, her eyes suddenly bent into crescents, and she smiled and said, "Okay, then ask Sister Kiyomi to cook a few good dishes, I love to eat everything." ”

"Then I'll think about it!" Kiyomi Ruri looked at the refrigerator and went.

In this world, this dish is the most difficult to make "casually", she has to think about the recipe carefully, not only to take care of Nanahara Takeshi's tricky tongue, but also to make poor Mai sauce eat happily - those offal, hooves, these strange things are definitely not good, you still have to choose serious meat, and the taste can't be too greasy, Mai is pitiful and can't get used to it.

Then make a steamed lion's head, stir-fry a shiitake mushroom and a small rape, and then make a small tofu soup...... Well, I have to eat here, and I can't be too light, so I will stir-fry a mutton, and then stir-fry squid in an iron pot.

Dogs are very picky, they don't eat much outside, and the amount of Mai-chan rice is not estimated to be large, so it should be about the same! Eat half of it yourself, and they eat half of it!

Kiyomi Ruri drew up the menu, and consulted Mai Sukada's opinion, and seeing that she didn't object, he confidently asked Nanahara Takeshi to run errands to buy missing ingredients such as tofu, and then came back to tie the apron and prepare to show off his skills.

It's just that the soup stock is not very easy to do, and all kinds of soup stock at home are prepared by Takeshi Nanahara, but there is definitely no here, and the finished product is estimated to be reduced by one level.

"What's missing, Sister Kiyomi?" Mai Sukada watched her rummble quietly as she turned over the spice bottle and asked patiently.

Kiyomi Ruri has already entered the role, and immediately asked, "Are there any condiments such as soup packets and chicken essence?" She remembered that Nanahara Takeshi had said before that there was a way to synthesize a simple dashi, and it should be possible to use it on top.

"Yes, here." Mai Sugata pointed to the cupboard, "There are also frozen soup stock cubes, do you want to use it for Sister Kiyomi?" ”

Kiyomi Ruri snacks were surprised: "You usually have soup stock too?" ”

It turns out that they are also people who love food!

Mai Sukada helped her take out the stock cubes from the freezer of the refrigerator, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Yes, if you use it to cook ramen, the soup base will taste good." ”

Kiyomi Ruri took it, prepared to use it later, and asked casually, "Did your mother prepare it?" ”

"My mother doesn't go into the kitchen very much." Mai Sugaguchi smiled, "I boiled it, and Aunt Mitsuko also helped." ”

"Did you boil it?" Kiyomi Ruri thinks back to when she was fourteen years old, she seems to be busy wrestling and fighting with Yuko Sawada all day, and she never thought of going into the kitchen, and she was a little ashamed for a while.

Really good boy, more and more likeable!

Mai Sukada smiled, didn't answer this nonsense, put on an apron, went to wash her hands and began to help her prepare materials.

The two of them quickly got busy, and Kiyomi Ruri was tormented by the fussy ghost of Takeshi Nanahara...... No, he has been trained by a famous teacher for half a year, and he is already quite good in the kitchen, his hands and feet are quick, busy but not chaotic, but it makes Mai Sukada quite impressive.

Well, she originally thought that Kiyomi Ruri was bragging, and it was impossible to be in charge of "Higashitamama Town Women's Cooking", after all, which of such beautiful girls likes to drill into the kitchen, but now it seems that Kiyomi Ruri's cooking techniques are all traceable, and occasionally they are ingenious, and they have their own ingenuity when you think about it.

On the whole, she has a vague hint of chef style, most of which is inherited by famous artists.

Mai Sukada couldn't help but ask, "Sister Kiyomi, have you studied cooking specifically?" ”

Kiyomi Ruri endured her smugness and snorted: "I didn't go out of my way to study, I just cook at home." That one...... I basically cook three meals a day at home, so practice makes perfect! ”

"You're so good, Sister Kiyomi." Mai Sukada praised sincerely.

"It's not great, it's just average." Kiyomi Ruri's mouth curved, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud, but she was very happy in her heart.

What a good child, I can see at a glance that I'm so powerful, unlike the dog thing of Nanahara Takeshi, who doesn't think it's disgusting all day long, and doesn't have a good word in his mouth.

"It's really amazing." Mai Sukada looked at the squid on the board and said, "See the work in a small way, Sister Kiyomi's wheat ear flower knife is really good." ”

Kiyomi Liuli was taken aback: "Do you know this kind of flower knife technique?" "It's not a special skill, but it's not something that the average kid should do.

Mai Sukada smiled shyly: "Yes, I will go to the cooking class to study during the holidays, and a teacher has taught me." Well, our teacher's husband is Chinese, and the teacher said that he attaches great importance to knife work and believes that it is the most important basic skill. ”

"Knife work is really important, only good knife work can talk about controlling the heat." Kiyomi Ruri immediately recalled the daily reprimand of Takeshi Shichihara, and said it casually, "It's like we're going to stir-fry in the pot, and the point of the word trick is to control the heat, to do one less point is to be born, and one more point is old, if the knife work is not good, it is impossible to do it." ”

Of course, Nanahara Takeshi said more than that, like cutting meat on paper, cutting the meat into slices, slicing the same weight, and there are no marks on the paper, this is a small achievement, and then she can talk about perfect control of the heat, but she thinks this is like, basically impossible, so she won't say it and be ashamed.

The two of them were cooking, while discussing cooking skills, some things Qingjian Liuli himself is not good at doing, but he is scolded every day, Qiyuan Wu's words are remembered seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and now it is also the head of the way, many views are high-level, very convincing.

At least pretending to be a culinary genius is enough.

Nanahara Takeshi came back from buying tofu, and when he saw that the two girls were chatting lively, he smiled and didn't care much, put down the tofu and went to Sugata Yukio's study to take a look, and think about how he was poisoned.

But he still didn't have a clue, but Sukada Yukio had a few good books, and he flipped through them casually when he was bored.

More than an hour later, Kiyomi Ruri shouted to eat in the living room, and then he leisurely went to the dining room.

The steaming four dishes and one soup in the dining room have been arranged, in addition to two small cold dishes, Kiyomi Ruri handed him a bowl of rice, and said happily: "Mai-chan also made two dishes, it must be delicious!" ”

She gave him a vaccination in advance, so that he would not be able to spit out ivory from his mouth as he did at home.

Nanahara Takeshi understood, but he didn't take it to heart, he wouldn't have done such a brainless thing, even if it was Kiyomi Ruri, he had never pointed out her shortcomings in front of outsiders - training her in person, teaching friends behind her back, pointing out her friends' shortcomings in public, that was not kindness, it was not understanding the world, he was not so brainless.

He just laughed and said, "Then I'll have a good taste." ”

Mai Sugata smiled embarrassedly: "It doesn't necessarily fit the taste of Nanahara Nissan." ”

"Definitely!" Kiyomi Ruri immediately took charge of Takeshi Nanahara's tongue, and by the way, she also showed off for her, "You see, Mai-chan has also learned cooking skills, and this chrysanthemum flower knife is very good." ”

This is a traditional Japanese dish called Breeze Tofu, but in most izakaya restaurants, the tofu is cut into small pieces and drizzled with sauce, which can be used to accompany sake.

However, Mai Sukada has obviously improved this, she used the chrysanthemum flower knife method to cut a piece of ordinary tofu into a thousand petals, it is really like a blooming chrysanthemum, "color and fragrance", at least the word "color" is completely up to the standard - this is an ordinary small cold dish, it is already rare.

Nanahara Takeya also had to admit that Mai Sukada's knife work was quite level, at least very solid, and he had also worked hard, and asked her with a smile: "Thirty-six kinds of flower knives, have you learned them all?" ”

Of course, there must be more than 36 kinds of knives, and cooking skills can always be constantly innovated, and there must be people who keep figuring out new techniques, but as a basic skill, no matter how new there are new techniques, the roots are basically derived from these 36 styles.

Mai Sukada was stunned for a moment, became more and more embarrassed, pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "No, it is the first time that I know that there are thirty-six kinds of flower knives. ”

"And how many have you studied?" It was also the first time that Kiyomi Ruri knew that the flower knife could be divided into thirty-six types, and he couldn't help but be curious. Nanahara Takeshi only taught her the five commonly used, and even if she learned these five types, Nanahara Takeshi asked her at least 500 times, "Are you a hand or a pig's trotter?"

Mai Sukada raised her little face and recalled, and said shyly, "I've only seen twenty-six kinds." ”

"Master Lu!" Qiyuan Wu remembers that the older generation of Lu kitchen knife skills passed on the art, and there are twenty-six kinds of flower knives.

Mai Sukada didn't understand too much, but she still said, "It's the husband of our cooking class teacher, and he is occasionally invited by our teacher to perform performances." ”

Nanahara nodded, not so strange. Since the 70s, Chinese restaurants have blossomed all over the world, and it is not uncommon for chefs to go to Hokkaido to earn foreign exchange.

He took a spoon to scoop the wind-cooled tofu and said with a smile, "I'll taste it." ”

Kiyomi Ruri waited for a while and asked with concern, "How does it taste?" ”

"Very good." Nanahara Takeshi tasted the product, and Mai Osukada praised, "I really put my heart into it, the time to ice tofu with ice cubes is just right, cold but not icy, and I am afraid of affecting the taste, I didn't use the traditional ginger puree, but used fresh ginger juice mixed with sweet and light soy sauce, and added a little sesame oil and okra juice, the flavor wheel is harmonious and unified but has a unique charm, nothing can be picky, it is very refreshing, and the improvement is quite successful." ”

Mai Sukada didn't expect that Nanahara Takeshi just took a bite, and even tasted the recipe for the sauce she figured out herself, and was slightly surprised, but immediately smiled shyly: "Nanahara Nissan won the award, I just tried it casually." ”

Kiyomi Ruri couldn't help it, Nanahara Takeshi had never praised her so much, and she also took a spoon to scoop the tofu to try it, and felt that the tofu was cool and cool, slightly sweet in the salty, just to remove the beany smell but did not cover up the bean fragrance, the pouring technique seems to be exquisite, each clove of tofu is stained with the same juice, and it is slippery, and the aftertaste is slightly numb.

There is numbness in the cold, which is really refreshing.

Even if it's just a small cold dish, it's still not as delicious as meat, but she has to admit that it is indeed quite level.

She honestly says, "It does taste good. ”

On the other side, Mai Sugata also thanked him and moved his chopsticks, picked a little lion's head and tasted it, and said with a smile: "Sister Kiyomi's level is much higher than mine, and the meatballs are delicious." ”

Kiyomi Ruri was happy again, and immediately said, "Then you eat more." ”

"Okay, Sister Kiyomi."

Kiyomi Ruri gave Nanahara Takeshi another cup and snorted, "You can taste it too." ”

Nanahara Wu tasted it and didn't say anything, after all, this is not at home, there is no need to see Liuli's face - it can be eaten, it is enough to fool ordinary people, but it is not perfect, if he wants to be at home, he has already started to criticize and order her to improve next time, but now he is a guest in someone else's house, so forget it!

Kiyomi Ruri didn't get a compliment, so he gave him a blank look, and also lowered his head and began to eat, and after eating for a while, he only heard Mai Sugata ask Takeshi Nanahara: "Nanahara Nissan, has there been progress in my father's case?" ”

"Not yet." Nanahara replied casually.

Mai Sukada said with a slight concern: "It's definitely not my mother, and it's not Aunt Manko." ”

Nanahara Takeshi comforted: "There are other things, their suspicion is already very small, it's just that the police are afraid of being responsible, and they are following the old rules, at most they will come back tomorrow." ”

"But how did my father get poisoned?" Mai Sukada asked with concern, "It's true that no one came that day, and there was no poison in the tea, so what could be the reason?" ”

When Kiyomi Ruri heard this, she became strange: "Eh, Mai-chan, how do you know that there is no poison in the tea, the police didn't report it at that time, right?" ”

Mai Koga Sui seemed to be thinking about the poisoning, and said with some absent-mindedness, "I called my mother, and she was also wondering how my father was poisoned. This doesn't make sense at all, everything in the house has been checked by the police, and the kitchen is a mess, so what else can be poisoned by my father's eating? ”

Kiyomi Ruri stopped her chopsticks, pursed her oily little mouth, and said in confusion: "Yes, this is indeed very strange." Then she looked at Mai Sukada, noticed that she was about to speak, and couldn't help asking, "Mai-chan, do you have any ideas?" If you have it, just say it, and it's okay if you're wrong. ”

Mai Sukada hesitated, looked at Takeshi Nanahara and said softly: "My father was poisoned in the study, but there is nothing else in the study except for that cup of tea, I was thinking...... Could it be my father's medicine? My father has a bad heart, he carries medicine with him, could someone secretly poison his medicine? ”

Kiyomi Liuli was stunned, it turned out that she thought of this, and the police had already thought of this.

She patiently explained to Mai: "The police have already checked, the medicine is fine, and the cyanide oral attack is very fast, it will attack within a few seconds, and ten seconds is enough to kill people." If the poison is in the medicine, then after your father is poisoned, the medicine should be scattered all over the place, and it is impossible to put it in his clothes pocket, let alone the bottle cap. ”

"I see." Mai Sukada was a little disappointed, "I'm sorry, Sister Kiyomi, everything in the study has also been inspected by the police, except for what my father is carrying, I really can't think of anything else that can poison him." ”

This kid, there's no need to apologize for this kind of thing!

Kiyomi Ruri was about to comfort her with a few words, it's better to think wrong than not to think about it, and it's also a feeling of concern! However, Nanahara Takeshi put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, not all the things in the study have been checked.

"What do you mean?" Kiyomi Ruri said strangely.

Nanahara Takeshi was also reminded, and after a little recollection, he said softly: "I seem to know how he was poisoned." ”

Kiyomi Ruri was taken aback: "You thought of it?" ”

Qiyuan Wu got up and walked to the living room, and said lightly: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Kiyomi Ruri hurriedly followed, but after taking two steps and pushing Mai Sukada, she looked down at her long black hair and beautiful hair spins, and thought about her just being praised by Nanahara Takeshi, and was in a somewhat complicated mood for a while.

Could it be that she is the heroine?
