Momoko Kikuchi is planning to prepare a kaiseki meal at home based on her notes from the nursing classroom and her thoughts after trying it herself.
You should first consider what is in season right now and the order in which to serve it.
In addition, the purchase order for tableware is also listed.
"It sounds formal enough." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "It sounds like a trainee chef training at a Kaiseki restaurant."
Momoko Kikuchi was amused by these words, "It's still far from enough."
Shinichi Iwahashi thanked her for the phone call to thank her, and explained why he didn't call back in time, "I went back to my hometown in Shizuoka during the New Year's holiday."
"(It turns out) Iwahashi-san isn't from Tokyo?" Momoko Kikuchi blurted out. After saying the words, she consciously made a mistake and was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't see the shameful look on her face. He didn't interpret Momoko Kikuchi's words in his heart. He just treated it as a casual chat and asked politely: "Is Kikuchi-san from Tokyo?"
"Yes." Momoko Kikuchi replied, "I have been living in Shinagawa since I was born." Her father is an elite office worker, and she is the favored youngest daughter at home. She even chooses to study in a girls' school.
Momo Kikuchi deliberately wanted to deflect the embarrassment of her slip of the tongue just now, and talked about what happened on New Year's Eve, "When I was watching the Record Awards with my family, I saw Iwahashi-san on TV."
There was a hint of warmth in her tone, "You appeared on TV and you looked very good and quite impressive."
"A man depends on his clothes."
Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned it half modestly and half intentionally, "Thanks to my girlfriend for helping me choose the clothes to wear on TV. I can't take the credit myself."
This is true. Akina Nakamori not only has good taste, she also knows what colors and styles will look good on TV. With her help in making suggestions, the effect will be very different.
"girlfriend……"
Kikuchi Momoko looked surprised at first, but soon felt relieved, "It's true when I think about it."
"What is it?" Shinichi Iwahashi was most afraid of being betrayed.
Momoko Kikuchi smiled, like an outgoing female student. Her tone was natural, with a sense of what it should be, "Iwahashi-san is such an excellent person, it is natural that he will be welcomed by women."
After saying this, she realized that her wording was inappropriate. When she heard him say that she had a girlfriend, she specifically replied, "It's natural to be welcomed by women." Momoko Kikuchi seemed to be ashamed of such a straightforward compliment and paused.
mouth.
I don’t know if Iwahashi Shinichi was aware of this strange statement.
Iwahashi Shinichi vaguely felt that this sudden pause and silence was a bit unnatural. However, at this point, the main topic of the phone call has ended, and he will continue to make phone calls to discuss future arrangements with his mother...
He had no time to think about it, and he had no interest in thinking about it, so he was about to hang up the phone.
However, Momoko Kikuchi picked up the topic first. When she opened her mouth, she said what she was about to say to hang up the phone, "Next, I will continue to prepare for the New Year's kaiseki practice..."
Iwahashi Shinichi was polite to her, "I hope this phone call didn't disrupt your thinking."
"It's better to say it helped a lot." Momoko Kikuchi told him, "When I was swirling in the whirlpool of worries, I received a call from Iwahashi-san. When you are worried, walking away for a while may inspire good ideas."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care whether her words were true or polite, "Then I wish Kikuchi-san can successfully complete your kaiseki training."
"If you put down the phone and plan the menu in one go, you should call Iwahashi-san later to say thank you." Momoko Kikuchi said in a naughty tone.
However, I feel a little regretful, "Iwahashi-san has no interest in kaiseki cuisine. Otherwise, I would like to shamelessly invite you to taste the training results of the trainee chef... If your girlfriend is willing to show off, she is also welcome."
"
If we really took Akina Nakamori to eat kaiseki at Momoko Kikuchi's house, the scene would be too exciting.
Iwahashi Shinichi joked, "I have a commoner's mouth and can't get used to eating fancy things."
Momoko Kikuchi was a little annoyed, "If you say that, then wouldn't I become a commoner who wants to cling to you?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was reminded by her and felt that he had made a mistake, "That's not the case."
Momoko Kikuchi suddenly smiled, "But, now is an era where civilians can also try various things..." She was reasonable, "Commoners who want to try things, sounds good, right? It feels very challenging."
"That's true." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
Momoko Kikuchi continued, "If you think so, wouldn't it be great for Iwahashi-san to try more gorgeous things?"
She is smart and smart.
Iwahashi Shinichi unknowingly asked her to go around in a circle and couldn't help laughing. He put down the phone and thought to himself, they are all cooking lovers. With Nakamori Akina's talent in cooking, even if she learns Kaiseki cuisine, it will probably be enough.
No problem.
…
In the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi first went to the recording studio, and then went to pay New Year's greetings to the head of Takeda Printing Company. In the evening, he went to attend the New Year's party of the "Takeda Printing Department".
Starting on the 4th, people began to come to pay him New Year greetings.
Chiyo Iwahashi temporarily took over Shinichi Iwahashi's home, tidying up the rooms, replenishing supplies and purchasing, and also helped to entertain visitors when they arrived.
With his mother at home, Iwahashi Shinichi felt at ease and did whatever he had to do.
After Minamino Yoko changed her agency and record company, her new single was scheduled to be promoted in time for Valentine's Day. In order to accommodate the schedule of producer Shinichi Iwahashi, the first recording was postponed to early January. Fortunately,
Recording a single is very fast, so you don’t have to worry about delaying the progress.
Artists don't have many New Year's holidays, especially those who need to appear on TV frequently. For example, idols are around all year round, and appearing on New Year's Day programs to entertain the public is even more common and even a dream.
However, Minamino Yoko still has the pressure of the Music Association on her head, and now she is planning to transform. She did not work on the first and second days. It was rare that she spent a long-lost peaceful New Year at home with her parents, and the family laughed happily.
A few years ago, when I was tied up by Shunichi Mizukura, I had to work all day long. Not only was my body exhausted and I was admitted to the hospital, but I also had to catch up with the schedule due to random work, and the TV station opened the skylight, so I had to go and produce in person.
People apologize.
This year, things are back to normal.
New Year brings new atmosphere. For Minamino Yoko, this sentence is particularly profound.
After two days of rest, I returned to work today, and the first task was to enter the recording studio.
In order to accommodate Shinichi Iwahashi's schedule, Kawai Nahoko, the lyricist and music provider, also entered the recording studio in three days. Not only does the black-hearted boss ask Okada Yukiko to work overtime from time to time, but now he also doesn't let people from other offices go.
.
Shinichi Iwahashi was the last to arrive. When he passed by, Minamino Yoko and Kawai Nahoko were both sitting in the recording studio. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Kawai Nahoko to arrive so early.
The provider of lyrics and music is still a senior, and it is normal to be a little late. Instead of waiting for an adult, he became the one who was waited for. When Iwahashi Shinichi said "Sorry", he felt a little bit more about Kawai Nahoko's character.
experience.
Previously, when Minamino Yoko was approached to invite her to sing for her single, the two parties communicated on the phone. This was the first meeting after the cooperation was confirmed.
Kawai Nahoko perfectly interprets the appearance and appearance, treats people kindly, and has a gentle and cute face. She not only looks like a trustworthy sister, but also gives people the feeling of wanting to protect her.
In just a short time, she became familiar with Minamino Yoko. The two of them were "Nahoko-san" and the other was "Yoko-chan". Kawai Nahoko's affinity was probably full.
Iwahashi Shinichi first said hello to Kawai Nahoko, and then waited for Minamino Yoko to say hello to him. After greetings, the three of them, plus the sound engineer and recording producer, sat together for a meeting to decide on the future singing plan.
Excluding the song she collaborated with Hideki Saijo, this is the first time Nahoko Kawai has provided lyrics and music to other singers. She is still a layman on how to convey her own ideas and how to ask singers to sing.
.
I didn't feel clumsy when I was writing songs, but now when I talk about songs, I feel a little bit useless.
At this time, we still have to let an experienced producer like Iwahashi Shinichi come forward.
Nahoko Kawai is a bit of an outsider, but Yoko Minamino is an experienced singer. She has worked with many producers and songwriters. It is not the first time she has worked with Shinichi Iwahashi, so she has some understanding of his temper and behavior. Therefore, the negotiation went very smoothly.
.
After finalizing the recording plan, Minamino Yoko entered the studio for the first time.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Kawai Nahoko listened to her audition together and marked the areas that needed attention on the music score. After staying in the recording studio for a while and being stuck for time, the affectionate driver came to pick him up.
Nahoko Kawai wanted to stay in the recording studio for a while longer.
Iwahashi Shinichi thanked her, "Thanks to Kawai-san for coming here...and you still have to accommodate my time."
Nahoko Kawai smiled gently, "To be honest, it reminds me of a lot of singing under the guidance of producers and composers when I first debuted."
In other words, I now have the mentality of a "new songwriter who has just debuted".
"Kawai-san has the talent to write songs." Shinichi Iwahashi said sincerely, "In the future, if there is an opportunity, I hope to continue to cooperate with you."
Kawai Nahoko's bulging eyes were smiling, and she nodded slightly, "It's my honor."
In terms of artistic age, she is an absolute senior. But as a songwriter, with a famous producer like Iwahashi Shinichi, she is a newcomer who has to listen carefully to the arrangements.
"I should have invited Kawai-san to honor you and entertain you."
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little apologetic, "However, I was in a hurry this time and the timing was unlucky. If you don't mind, I can make arrangements later... I hope Kawai-san will be able to enjoy it."
He took the matter seriously, and Kawai Nahoko agreed with a smile, agreeing to make another appointment. At that time, Minamino Yoko, who sang the song she provided, also called over.
…
After the Red and White Song Festival, Akina Nakamori went back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. The next night, there was work to do. Oben sent her back to her hometown and came to pick her up.
With Nakamori Akina's current status, she could refuse any job she didn't like as long as it was not inconvenient to refuse. If she wanted to, it didn't matter if she didn't work for a day.
However, the audience likes to see her in the New Year program, so she is willing to participate in the New Year program.
This mentality includes both gratitude to the audience for supporting her and a desire to satisfy the audience. In addition, there is also a subtle thought that cannot be expressed, and even she is not sure about it.
Knowing in my heart that one day I will definitely leave the stage, my emotions for the audience become purer.
Around New Year's Eve, she was busy with work and left her puppy Kenta at a pet store, so she didn't have to make a special trip home to see the puppy.
After the day's program is finished, the day off begins the next day.
Shinichi Iwahashi returned to his hometown in Shizuoka, and when he talked to him on the phone, he said he would be returning to Tokyo in three days.
On New Year's Eve, she accidentally elbowed her boyfriend on the stage of the Red and White Song Concert. Since then, she has not seen him again. Akina Nakamori wanted to see him in person as soon as possible and say "Happy New Year" face to face.
During last year's New Year, Nakamori Akina was filled with worries. Finally, she mustered up the courage to take a step towards him.
This is the thing she regrets least.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi could not be seen for a while, and Akina Nakamori cooed at him on the phone. After putting down the phone, she received an invitation from a friend in the entertainment industry and went to the party with great energy.
During the New Year holiday, not only office workers can take a breather, but famous celebrities can also enjoy it.
Yanyin is so wealthy that he chartered a flight to take the entire office to travel overseas during the New Year holiday, and some of the artists from the office also went with him. After the overseas trip was over, there would be a New Year's reception.
Nakamori Akina will not go on the group tour, but she must attend the reception afterwards. The reception will be held on the evening of the 4th, and it is not good to run around before then.
Previously, she and Iwahashi Shinichi agreed to go out for the New Year holiday. Nakamori Akina didn't just talk about it casually, she made the agreement verbally. Afterwards, she discussed it with him and the two of them started making plans.
Decide on your travel goals, and then consciously arrange your time to free up your itinerary.
I want to go somewhere where Iwahashi Shinichi can wear a sweater that she knitted.
Iwahashi Shinichi originally mentioned this as a joke, but once he said it, the energetic Akina Nakamori took it as the focus of this plan.
I won’t go to places that are too warm.
This kind of reason and method of deciding the destination is a kind of coquettishness. However, Nakamori Akina enjoys it.
…
Years ago, in order to avoid reporters, Nakamori Akina never went to Iwahashi Shinichi. After making a New Year's call with him and knowing that he would return to Tokyo in three days, she couldn't help herself.
Iwahashi Shinichi is usually very busy, and the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets are always empty. He just returned to Tokyo from his hometown after the New Year, and he still doesn’t know what is missing in the apartment.
As soon as Nakamori Akina thought that he would go home to clear the pot and cook the stove, she wanted to run to him.
Put on a slight disguise and walk into the foyer of his apartment as if nothing happened. See if there is anything he needs...
