Chapter 695 The Reason Why Xiaolan's Cooking Skills Improved
After the case was solved, the police quickly withdrew from the scene.
A "temporarily closed" notice has been posted on the glass door of the cake shop, which looks particularly lonely in the sunset.
After this happened, the store manager died, so the cake shop naturally could no longer operate. Natsumi Kosaka also took the opportunity to leave a business card for the remaining two cake chefs, Tsuyoshi Maeda and Tomomi Morimoto.
Her pastry shop is about to open and she is in need of employees.
After exchanging contact information, Kosaka Natsumi turned to look at Xiaolan, Sonoko and Hanyu Kusunoshi, with a sweet smile on her lips, "Xiaolan, Sonoko, Kusunoshi, see you next time."
Yuanzi immediately jumped forward and said, "Ms. Xia Mei! Don't forget our agreement! I want to be the first customer of your new store!"
"Of course I remember." Kosaka Natsumi blinked, took out a small notebook from her exquisite pearl handbag, and wrote it down solemnly, "Ms. Suzuki Sonoko, VIP number one."
Her eyes moved around and finally landed on Hanyu Kusunoki.
There was a sly flash in those beautiful grey eyes, and the red lips moved silently: "Don't forget our agreement, my dessert taster~"
Hanyu Kusunoki also responded silently: Of course.
Watching the vehicle go away.
Watching Kosaka Natsumi and the mysterious old butler leave in the car, Sonoko stretched exaggeratedly, revealing a section of her fair waist under her short-sleeved top.
"Ah - today is perfect! I can eat all you can eat half-price cakes, and I also met Miss Xia Mei!" She suddenly turned around and hugged Xiaolan, "Xiaolan! Let's go to Miss Xia Mei's new store together!"
"it is good."
Xiaolan nodded, and sent the photos of the snacks she had taken to the "Loving Family" group. She put away her phone, rubbed her belly, and frowned, "But I ate so many sweets today. Do I really need to lose weight these two days..."
She was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
"Oh, it's okay." Sonoko smiled and took their arms, looking at Hanyu Kusunoki with sparkling eyes, "Kusu will help us burn calories anyway, right?"
Hanyu Kusunoki nodded solemnly.
It is his duty to help his girls maintain a perfect figure!
Xiaolan suddenly blushed, and looked around guiltily. When she found no one was around, she glared at Yuanzi in a reproachful manner, "Yuanzi! We are outside, don't talk nonsense."
"Huh?!" Hearing this, the eldest lady tilted her head, smiled evilly and leaned close to her ear: "I said let Nan use the horse spell on us to burn off the extra calories, Xiaolan, what are you thinking?"
"me…"
Xiaolan's expression froze.
It turns out that it was a horse spell!
She thought it was just a last shot...
Seeing Xiaolan's instantly flushed cheeks, Hanyu Nan couldn't help but rub her hair and said, "Xiaolan, have you learned bad things from Sonoko recently?"
"No, no!"
Xiaolan waved her hands in panic, and the tips of her ears were red enough that blood seemed to be dripping out.
Yuanzi put his arm around Xiaolan's shoulders with a wicked smile: "Oh, our Xiaolan has finally grown up~ The little angel's holy wings have also been insulted by the white turbidity..."
"Yuanzi!" Xiaolan covered her mouth in embarrassment and anger, and the two of them chased and fought on the street.
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled and shook his head, then followed slowly behind.
……
Hanyu House.
When we returned to the villa, the sky was already tinged with dusk.
As soon as Sonoko entered the door, she took off her shoes and rushed to the flower ladder barefoot: "Ai-chan! Come on and play games! I'm feeling really good today!"
"No." Xiao Ai's cold rejection came from the laboratory on the seventh floor.
"Don't be like that~" Yuanzi had already rushed up on the flower ladder, "I will definitely not cheat today, I guarantee that I can pass the level."
Listening to the "ping pong" sounds coming from upstairs and Xiao Ai's helpless sighs, Hanyu Nan wisely chose to take refuge - the kitchen is always the safest place.
Mingmei was busy at the kitchen counter, her long black hair tied loosely behind her head and she was wearing an apron with cartoon patterns on it.
Xiaolan had already washed her hands and was helping to cut vegetables.
"Do you need help?" Hanyu Kusunoki asked, leaning against the door frame.
Mingmei looked up, with a little flour on her face. "Master Hanyu, you've come just in time. Can you help me taste the saltiness of this soup?"
Xiaolan also turned around and said, "Nan, where are Sonoko and the others?"
"She's 'persecuting' Ai upstairs." Hanyu Kusunoki took the spoon, scooped a small spoonful of the soup and blew on it. "It looks like Ai is going to be persecuted by Sonoko again today."
The moment he took a sip of the soup, his eyes lit up: "It tastes perfect."
The little maid smiled and said, "That's good."
Then, she took out a bunch of green onions from the bag and said, "Master Hanyu, please help us pick the green onions."
Hanyu Kusunoki took the scallion and skillfully peeled off the old outer skin.
Although he has various abilities to solve problems quickly, when at home, he still prefers to accompany the girls to do some simple and heartwarming things.
The kitchen was filled with a rich aroma, and Mingmei was stir-frying the beef, making a sizzling sound.
"Sister Mingmei, to what degree should this sauce be stirred?" Xiaolan asked seriously, turning the egg beater in her hand continuously.
Mingmei came over to take a look and said, "It just needs to be a little thicker. Xiaolan is really talented. She mastered it so well the first time."
Xiaolan blinked and said, "It's all because of Sister Mingmei's good teaching."
Hanyu Kusunoki chopped the peeled shallots into fine pieces and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Xiaolan, the consumables such as the spiritual rice and spring water that Aunt Eri sent last time should be almost used up, right?"
"Hmm..." Xiaolan tilted her head and thought for a while, "Mom didn't tell me, but judging by how often she cooks porridge every day, it should be about the same..."
"Then I'll go with you to deliver some tomorrow." Hanyu Nan put the chopped green onion into a small bowl and said half-jokingly, "After all, with my mother-in-law's cooking skills, there is no food like Lingmi that can be eaten as long as it is cooked. I'm worried that Auntie will get food poisoning sooner or later..."
"Nan-kun!" Xiaolan punched him lightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "How can you say that about your own mother-in-law!"
Mingmei also covered her mouth and chuckled: "But lawyer Fei's cooking skills are indeed... very unique."
Hanyu Kusunoki shook his head and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Aunt Eri sent me a message to thank me for the spiritual rice I sent her last time."
Xiaolan thought of her mother's cooking attempts that could be called "biochemical weapons" and couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Mom... is really not compatible with the kitchen..."
Why is she such a good cook?
Isn't this a skill that we have acquired since childhood for survival?
Those burnt fried eggs, the bitter miso soup, the rock-hard rice...are all the motivation that drives her to work harder.
There was a warm atmosphere in the kitchen. The three of them were busy chatting and laughter could be heard from time to time.
