"The dish we are going to cook today is tiger bento..."
Kobayashi Sumiko introduced the cooking topic, introduced Chi Feichi and Okishi Subaru, and talked about the rules.
Although the Tiger Bento has been improved by Chi Feichi, it is still difficult for children to complete a bento alone, so this cooking class is about cooperative cooking, with three people working in groups to complete a bento together.
After explaining the rules, Kobayashi Sumiko smiled again and said, "Okay, let's start choosing the teammates who will cook with you today! I hope everyone will hurry up and finish it within five minutes."
In the classroom, the children started to move. Some looked around and whispered to their classmates. Some stood up and walked to their good friends, smiling and holding hands with them.
Chi Feichi stood by the podium at the entrance, leaning against the wall and watching the children's actions. His eyes did not stop on a specific child, as if he was seeing a classroom from long ago through this classroom.
That was the classroom in the memory of the original consciousness.
Just like the situation before us, children need to form teams of three in the cooking class. At the teacher’s command, teams are everywhere looking for partners, and sooner or later they form a team.
The teacher had already calculated the number of people, and no one would be left behind in the team, but there was always one person who was left alone. No classmates asked about that child, and the child was on guard after being ignored the last time he spoke.
He chose to remain silent.
In the end, the only two-person team had to accept the 'loner'.
Some children gave them joking and weird looks, which made the two children blush, and they vowed to gather three people as soon as possible next time, so as not to be forced to bring the lone traveler with them again.
Of course, the two red-faced children didn't have a good look at the lone walker. They ignored it if they could. It was obviously a team of three people, but it was still divided into two people and one person.
When there is only one ingredient, the lone traveler must either cook the dish alone, or be reminded early, ‘Don’t touch our stuff, just watch from the side’.
Of course the teacher will say "No, it shouldn't be" when he sees it, but the teacher can't keep watching. When the teacher turns around, the lone traveler has to face two teammates again, "It's all your fault", "It's you"
Let us be scolded by the teacher and look at him with resentment, "You are just a drag"...
Japanese education focuses on cultivating children to integrate into groups and learn teamwork. It is absolutely the "correct model" for children to form teams to complete tasks. This model can make unsociable children cheerful and brave, but it may also become a group of bullies.
cruel weapons.
A look of disgust and rejection may make a child with a sensitive heart sad. In such a cooking class, all kinds of weird, malicious, and dissatisfied looks will appear countless times. Every child's reaction every second,
It may become a knife that cuts the heart of a loner.
One knife, one knife, another knife...
The original consciousness hates this kind of class the most... No, it was fear at first, fear of any class that might require cooperation. As soon as the teacher said, "This cooperation is completed," my heart was cut by memories, and then
I was cut again in the new classroom. After a while, my heart was broken into mud. It wasn't that uncomfortable anymore. What was cut was just my soul. The person who was cut would wonder if I was bad and if I should disappear from the world.
Only when the soul is completely broken will it be able to produce 'disgust'.
Disgust is rejection and hatred evolved from fear.
He obviously just inherited the memory, but he still felt disgust in his heart like a conditioned reflex.
Just like every time he saw the rabbit house, hamster cage, chicken coop and other small animal breeding places in elementary school, the traumatic emotions in his memory would emerge, causing him to feel repulsive.
Chong Shi Subaru noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere around him, and turned to look at Chi Feichi who was closest to him. He found that Chi Feichi was looking at the back of the classroom, his face as cold as frost. After confirming that Chi Feichi's eyes were not focused, he whispered in confusion.
Called, "Mr. Chi?"
Chi Feichi refocused his eyes, suppressed the feeling of disgust in his heart, turned to look at another corner, his face softened, and he also lowered his voice, "I'm fine."
Subaru Chong Shi wanted to ask, but he felt Chi Feichi's resistance and knew that he might not get an answer if he asked. He thought about it for a while, but still didn't ask.
In the corridor, Yuantai saw that it was difficult to split up the five-person team, so he asked aloud, "Teacher Xiaolin, can't there be a group of five people?"
"No," Kobayashi Chengzi refused firmly, "There are only three people in groups, no exceptions."
Mitsuhiko tugged on Genta's clothes and whispered, "Genta, if there are five of us in a group, one person in the class will be vacant."
"And a group of three people should be a staffing plan that neither makes us busy nor makes us too leisurely." Haibara Ai walked to another table and took the initiative to separate the team.
Kobayashi Sumiko could only laugh dryly.
What does "preventing everyone from being too leisurely" mean? Although she does have such considerations, could Haihara-san please not be too blunt next time, as this would make her look like a bully who tortures children.
"Of course," Haiyuan Ai added with a calm expression, "there are too many people in the team, and each person does not do enough, which is not conducive to us mastering the method of making bento."
Most of the children in the class half understood what they heard, but they still believed that Haibara Ai, who spoke with a firm tone, was right, so they sped up to find their teammates.
"Then I'll be in a group with Xiao Ai, and Conan, Genta and Mitsuhiko will be in a group!" Ayumi quickly walked to Haibara Ai's side, turned around and looked around the classroom, and found a girl hesitantly turning her head to look around, smiling.
He waved and said, "Qianharu-san, do you want to join our group?"
The little girl who was greeted was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward quickly with a smile, "Okay!"
Chi Feichi looked at the three people who formed the team, and then glanced at the entire classroom where the team had basically been formed.
Ayumi is a good child.
However, he will not be so moved that the world is beautiful because of this, nor will he swear that he will be a good person who will not kill people or set fires in the future.
He was a little relieved in his heart, because he felt that the very good child was really very good, but apart from that little relief, he didn't feel much in his heart. Naturally, he didn't have any feeling of warmth in his heart, not even the feeling of rejection in his heart.
The feeling hasn't dissipated much.
"Okay, let's be quiet for a moment after the team formation is completed." Xiaolin Chengzi looked at the team formation and announced the next step, "Next, I will take everyone to check the raw materials for cooking, and then Mr. Chi will follow up step by step.
He will show you how to make a tiger bento, and he will slow down the speed so that everyone can take their time. Mr. Chong Shi and I are responsible for providing help. If you encounter any problems during the production, you can take the initiative to seek help from us..."
When it came to making the bento, Chi Feichi was not affected by the slight rejection in his heart. He divided the cooking process into simple steps and patiently took the lead in making it on the podium.
Mix the cooked rice with the cooked pumpkin and mix well. Mix the egg liquid, starch and cheese evenly. Use a mold to make an egg cake...
There are many children, and some of them are not very good at hands-on skills, so they do each step very slowly. After making the egg cake, it only takes more than ten minutes before the end of get out of class.
Fortunately, the next step is a little simpler. Fill the round egg cake with pumpkin rice and make the egg cake puff up. Then use seaweed sheets to make tiger patterns and place it on the egg cake.
Chi Feichi controlled the rhythm well, and with Subaru Chong and Chengzi Kobayashi cooperating with the guidance, the teaching of Tiger Bento was just completed in one class.
Kobayashi Sumiko took out her camera and took pictures of the tiger lunch boxes made by the children one by one.
There are molds for the egg cakes, which are uniform in size and shape, but the tiger patterns made with seaweed sheets are different, resulting in each child making a 'tiger' with its own characteristics. Some tigers seem to be glancing to the left, and some are like tigers.
They were in a daze, and some of the tigers seemed to be giggling. They were all taken into photos, which are also very interesting class commemorative photos.
At noon, the tiger bento with some simple side dishes will become the children's lunch, which is a bento made by oneself.
Chi Feichi and Chong Shi Subaru did not stay until noon and left the school after their cooking class.
In the evening, when Conan was on duty, he found that his mobile phone had received an email from Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan mentioned in the email that she wanted to go to Kudo's house to look for the files of the Scarlet Letter Incident ten years ago. Suzuki Sonoko and Sera Masumi will also go.
Conan didn't want a detective like Sera Masumi to look around at home, and he didn't bother to do his duty. He said hello to the other on-duty students, and replied to Mao Lilan via email saying, "No need to go, I'll let Conan find it for you." He hurriedly
Ran back home.
Ran Mao Li, Sonoko Suzuki, and Masumi Sera went to Kudo's house. They entered a little later than Conan, saw Conan's shoes in the entrance, and found the study all the way from the living room.
In the study, Conan was sitting on the second staircase, looking for files from the incident ten years ago in a pile of files. When he heard voices in the corridor outside the door, he knew that Mao Lilan and the other two people had come to find him.
Shouted, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm here!"
Three female high school students entered the study room. Mao Lilan saw Conan sitting on the ladder and quickly asked with concern, "Conan, do you want us to help you find it?"
"It's okay, I will find it soon!" Conan put the file box he had seen back on the bookshelf, smiled and said to Mao Lilan downstairs, "You guys go to the kitchen to make a cup of black tea. I will put the file box when I find it.
Take it over!"
Suzuki Sonoko looked around, "Kid, isn't Mr. Subaru who lives here here? We didn't see anyone all the way here!"
Conan took out another stack of eucalyptus bags from the bookshelf and looked down at the labels on the bags one by one. "He and Brother Chi went to our class to be temporary teachers of the cooking class in the morning, and then went to the pet shelter to help. I
I also visited the pet shelter on the way from school. Brother Chi is changing the pets' dressings, and Mr. Subaru is also helping. It may take about an hour to come back..."
"An hour..." Masumi Sera rubbed her chin and thought, "This time may not be enough for us to find the truth they want to cover up."
Conan paused, looked at the three female high school students standing at the door on the first floor, and asked tentatively, "Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about covering up the truth?"
A little flustered.
What did these three people want to find in his house?
