...

I took Akina Nakamori for a brief tour of Yamazakura-in, and saw the courtyard on the first floor, the graffiti on the corner of the stairs, the piano room on the second floor, etc. Afterwards, Akina looked at the time and started working in the kitchen. Naoki Nagayama also

Starting from the side.

"Naoki-san, go and have a rest. I can be alone. Aren't you still very weak?"

Xiao Mingcai handled the ribs in her hands quickly, and she looked really at ease. After all, she had been helping the family cook since she was a child, so she was naturally familiar with everything in the kitchen.

"How can that be done? It's not the way to let guests work alone in the kitchen." Naoki Nagayama said while cutting lotus roots.

Lotus root and pork ribs soup can replenish qi and blood and is a good food supplement for people who are weak.

Seeing how eloquently Naoki-san spoke, Akina felt that she would not be able to convince him, so she acquiesced.

Naoki Nagayama is good at cooking, but he mainly prefers Chinese food. He learned a lot of simple Japanese cooking methods in Showa, but due to time and trouble, he mostly went to high-end restaurants to eat. Akina Nakamori learned from her mother Chieko since she was a child.

Cuisine, Japanese cuisine has been passed on for free.

Now that the two of them are doing it together, you can see the difference between them.

"Naoki-san, you put too much oil!" Akina watched from the side as Naoki Nagayama put a spoonful of oil into the pot, a little worried.

"If there is no oil, there will be no fragrance." Then add a handful of ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant.

"But if there are too many condiments, won't the original taste of the food be lost?" Akina retorted seriously,

Nagayama Naoki looked at the green vegetables next to him... In terms of original taste, it tastes a bit bitter and has a grassy smell...

However, Akina next to her was still staring at (.???.). She always felt that her aura became much stronger as soon as she entered the kitchen. Naoki Nagayama could only slightly reduce some of the oil.

Mentally, he said silently, "Why is it so difficult to stir-fry vegetables..."

With the two people's busy work, a decent post-illness nutritious meal was finally completed, including lotus root and ribs soup, fish fillet porridge, fried vegetables, mixed seaweed, oranges and apples, milk...

There were only two people eating, and of course the rule of eating quietly did not need to be followed. At the dinner table, the two chatted about interesting events that had happened recently.

"Naoki-san became the cover star of the magazine. I was shocked when I saw it."

"Hahaha, a lot of people said that, but I didn't expect it." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "It was just an accident. Akina-chan will definitely be on the cover of magazines in the future."

"Haha, Naoki-san knows how to comfort others!" Akina laughed.

"I'm not comforting Akina-chan, but I have no doubt about it."

"What? Zhi Shusang, I'm going to blush if you tell me any more~" Xiao Mingcai ate the lotus root pork ribs with a big mouthful, feeling that her cooking skills were indeed extraordinary today.

........

After finishing the meal, the two of them sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and watched TV leisurely.

Because Taro was bored, he went to play in the courtyard alone. Akina Nakamori looked around Yamazakurain and sighed:

"I really want to buy a house like this in the future, and then the whole family can live in it and live happily."

Then he looked at the courtyard scene outside the glass partition door and said, "It would be great if there was such a courtyard."

"The whole family lives together?" Nagayama Naoki thought about the six members of the Nakamori family and imagined what it would be like to live together, "Isn't it so noisy..."

"That's called lively!" Xiao Mingcai rolled her eyes, "That's what's called a family when it's lively."

I think back to the time when my father was still living at home when I was a child. Even though he was poor, the noisy and warm atmosphere was very warm. However, as I grew older and the family became poorer and poorer, my father gradually stopped living at home and lived with my mother.

There were more and more quarrels...

"As long as you have money, you can buy a big house and live a good life, and everyone can live together happily."

Naoki Nagayama sighed a little when he heard such a wish. This was Akina Nakamori's original intention to enter the entertainment industry!

But I didn't expect that later on, the relationship between relatives would become even more estranged because of money.

"Akina-chan, I'm sorry, but it's wrong to think that money can solve everything."

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Akina stood up and looked at Nagayama Naoki seriously, like a kitten with bared teeth, as if it would pounce on him if he didn't give an explanation.

"Not everyone can face wealth rationally. Many people will change after becoming rich.

Some people want more from the beginning and are never satisfied; some people are afraid of losing wealth and become concerned about gains and losses; some people become spendthrift and no longer regard money as a thing;

Such people cannot be happy no matter how much money they have."

"Isn't there no change in Naoki-san?" Xiao Mingna retorted, "It's obvious that he is already very rich."

"Hahaha, Akina-chan, do you think everyone is the same as me?" Naoki Nagayama laughed. Which young man in his 20s has already lived a life of more than 50 years?

Seeing Xiao Akina's dissatisfied look, Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment and felt that a certain person seemed to be a good role model for Akina: "Does Akina-san know Yamaguchi Momoe-san?"

"of course."

"Momoe Yamaguchi also became famous at a young age. After becoming a national idol, she naturally made a lot of money." Nagayama Naoki paused, "But the money also did not make Yamaguchi Momoe's original family happier."

"Naoki-san, are you talking about Yamaguchi Momoe-san's irresponsible father?" Akina obviously also knew the history of Yamaguchi Momoe, and unknowingly compared her own family with Yamaguchi Momoe's family, which seemed a bit...

Angry, "But my family is different!"

"Father is still very good to us!"

Akina Nakamori subconsciously protects her family's reputation and doesn't want others to know the true situation.

Nagayama Naoki also knew that this was not the right time to get involved in other people's family affairs: "Hi~Hi~, I don't have Akina-chan's house. Of course Akina-chan's house is very good."

"It means that making money does not necessarily make people happy."

Xiao Mingcai breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still angry: "Then why is Naoki-san still working hard to make money?"

This sentence stunned Nagayama Naoki, and then he suddenly laughed,

He thought of a line from The Wolf of Wall Street, so he changed it slightly, straightened up slightly and said to Akina:

"I have been rich and I have been poor."

"But if I had to choose, I would choose to be rich every time!"

"Because at least when I was rich, even if I faced all kinds of difficulties, I still lived in a spacious villa, drove an 8 million yen convertible, and wore a 100,000 yen custom-made suit..."

After hearing these words, Xiao Mingcai opened her mouth slightly and was speechless for a moment.

"What!" After a while, Akina buried her face silently into the pillows of the sofa, and a muffled voice came out, "Naoki-san spoke like movie lines, making it seem like we are filming a movie!"

"Hahaha~" This is really a line from the movie.

...

In the studio, Shuichi Itou was chatting with Otomo Yoshimura about the casting of movie roles.

I listed a series of actors who seemed to be suitable, but I couldn’t judge them well.

"Shuichi-san, do you want to find someone else? Forget it if it's a supporting role. Even if we can play it ourselves, the leading roles still need to be truly professional actors."

Itou Shuichi was leaning his head and thinking: "Speaking of which, I do have a few candidates here, but it feels like we are picking and choosing, and the candidates always have shortcomings of one kind or another."

"Yes, after all, the budget is nearly 100 million, so we must find the most suitable one."

The two fell into silence for a moment...

For a while...

"Otomo-san, you said that Naoki-san is sick. As friends, shouldn't we go visit him?"

Itou Shuichi suddenly said this, and on the table next to him, Yoshimura Otomo, who was looking through the list, replied without raising his head:

"Visiting a doctor? I just have a little diarrhea. What do you need..."

Yoshimura Otomo's words were suddenly stuck, and he raised his head to look at Itou Shuichi, who avoided his eyes at this time, as if he was very embarrassed.

Fangcun Otomo telegraphed: "Ah, that's right. It was Naoki-san who sent us home yesterday. Maybe that's why we got sick! If you say that, I really want to have a good visit...

....”

Only then did Yidou Shuichi look at him and nodded in reply: "Yes, after all, as a good friend, you still have to take good care of me."

"Yeah, yeah~"

The two old foxes tacitly completed the unification of their ideological consciousness.

Well, it was just to visit someone who was sick, and I had absolutely no intention of asking for food!

.......

Nakamori Akina started to wander around in Yamazakura again. According to her, she will definitely buy a villa like this in the future, so she needs to wander around and be prepared.

However, based on the income of idol singers, even top idols will probably have to save for several years.

"Mingcai Jiang, remember to buy real estate as soon as possible after you have income!"

Nagayama Naoki is sparing no effort to promote his idea. In fact, he has said it many times among his friends and family members. Now Yoshimura Otomo and his family have been put into practice and have brought their family to Tokyo, and his father and his family back home have

Mother seemed a little tempted too.

"But wouldn't it mean that you would be saddled with a lot of debt?"

"Bad tape, Akina-san, believe me, the increase in housing prices in the past eight years must be faster than inflation." Naoki Nagayama, who has the experience of later generations, vowed.
