093, young people, still haven't received social beatings
...
I used to feel nothing when eating alone, but rb normally eats in separate portions.
Fortunately, when I bought kitchen utensils, I bought a complete set.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to separate them when sharing meals.
Place a large bowl of vegetables in the middle,
I also gave everyone a small bowl and paired it with ready-made pickles bought in the supermarket.
A decent meal was actually prepared.
The three of them ate around the square table.
"I'm starting!" x2,
It seems that if I don’t say this before eating, I always feel like something is missing...
Sweet and sour sweet and sour pork, fragrant green pepper beef, plus spicy mapo tofu,
It whetted the appetites of several young people,
Soon, the iconic blowing sound of "Si~Ha~Si~Ha~" when eating spicy food started to sound.
With sweat on his forehead, Nagayama Naoki took a sip of soda and looked at the two people sticking out their tongues, "Hahaha, aren't Akina-san and Akiho-san good at eating spicy food?"
"The mapo tofu made by Naoki-san is much spicier than the ones I have eaten before~" Akiho couldn't help but drink soda, "Didn't Naoki-san also sweat from the spicy food?"
"Is it okay to keep it hot while I'm cooking?"
"Liar~"
While the two were talking, Akina was eating fiercely with her head down. A spoonful of white rice topped with a piece of mapo tofu, and a big mouthful was put into her mouth. The feeling of satisfaction overflowed and her cheeks bulged~
As expected of a chubby dish!
After finally swallowing it, I had time to say,
"It's so delicious! If Naoki-san opens an izakaya, there will definitely be a lot of customers!"
Then he picked up another piece of beef~
...
Generally speaking, rb is very quiet when eating.
I usually don’t talk about anything important,
But it’s okay to say a word or two occasionally,
The three young people all had good appetites and finished the food quickly. There was nothing left on the big plate in the middle. At least half of the mapo tofu and vegetables were eaten...
"I'm so full~" After picking off the last grain of white rice in the bowl, Akina put down the bowl.
"Because the food is so delicious~" Mingsui also said,
After everyone put down their chopsticks,
"Thanks for the hospitality~" x2
"Haha, it seems that Akisu-san and Akina-san approve of my cooking skills~" Looking at the almost empty tableware, Nagayama Naoki was about to pack it away.
"Naoki-san, thank you for your hospitality today, please let us do the washing up~"
The two little girls packed up quickly without waiting for Nagayama Naoki to speak.
Nagayama Naoki didn't show any pretense, he took out a cantaloupe from the refrigerator and prepared it as an after-dinner fruit.
The small kitchen is a bit crowded for three people. If it were an open kitchen like the one in Chiyoda's house, it would be much more spacious.
After cleaning up the kitchen, the three of them sat in the living room, eating fruit and chatting.
"I didn't expect Naoki-san's cooking skills to be so good." Akina poked a piece of cantaloupe with a toothpick, "It's so sweet~"
"If you are alone, you should always be kind to yourself."
Mingsui asked: "Do young men and women in the city know how to cook for themselves?"
"Well, it depends on your own thoughts. Some people only know how to make instant noodles." Nagayama Naoki felt that someone like Nakai Wonta would definitely not be able to make noodles.
"Then what should they do when they are hungry? Do they want to eat lunch?"
"Eat bread in the morning, a bento you bought for lunch, and go to an izakaya with your colleagues in the evening. Most male members seem to be like this. Female members might make their own bento?"
Nagayama Naoki recalled that in his previous life, working as a worker was like this for a long time, but they finally had takeout.
Nakamori Akina thought about this scene for a moment: "Isn't that very pitiful..."
Mingsui said: "Isn't it nice to have this? You can buy whatever you want in the bento."
The two of them had not yet graduated from high school, so they only had a vague understanding of the hardships of working as slaves.
"It seems that the eldest son and daughter of the Nakamori family have already gone to work. Don't you feel it?"
"I don't feel anything. Sister Minghui and brother Minghao both help in the ramen shop at home, and we eat together~"
"Ah, that's right~ It's just like my family~" Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but think that the Nakamori family's ramen shop seemed to be inherited by the eldest son just like his own izakaya.
"Nani?" Xiao Mingcai didn't understand for a moment.
"My father also opened an izakaya in his hometown in Shizuoka, and my eldest brother also helped in the shop~"
"Ah? Does Naoki-san's family open an izakaya?" It seemed that the same experience made Akina a little curious, "My eldest brother is helping in the store, but Naoki-san actually came to Tokyo?"
"Yeah, I came here on impulse~"
Nakamori Akiho interrupted: "Tsuruko-chan said that Naoki-san came to Tokyo because he didn't want to run an izakaya with his elder brother, and because he was chasing stars~"
"This guy Tsuruko, actually said all this~"
"Tsuruko-chan and I are good friends~" Akiho said proudly,
"Well, that's certainly part of the reason. I just didn't know what I wanted to do after I graduated."
Nagayama Naoki recalled the memories before this body,
"With thoughts like 'Am I going to spend my whole life working for my eldest brother in izakayas?' 'Am I so far away from Miss Yamaguchi Momoe?' and other similar thoughts, I ran to Tokyo unwillingly~"
"Hey~ That requires a lot of determination~" Nakamori Akina had already known that Nagayama Naoki was a fan of Yamaguchi Momoe, but she didn't know that there were family reasons, "Naoki-san will be able to live alone in Tokyo.
It’s very hard, isn’t your family worried?”
"It's okay to arrive, it's just a two-hour drive. When you get to Tokyo, just like everyone else, rent a house and work to make money~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Of course my family will be worried, but there's nothing you can do about it when you grow up.
Well, you always have to be independent."
It's the same wherever workers are employed.
"Isn't Naoki-san living a good life now? I made money to buy a car and a house~" Akisu curled her lips, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to stay in the small shop at home when I grow up~"
I haven’t experienced any beating from society. Is it so easy to make money? Are your eldest sisters and brothers helping in the store because they like it?
In Japan, where the social hierarchy is strict and solidified, ordinary people want to find a good job unless they are admitted to a good university or encounter a good opportunity like Naoki Nagayama.
"Then what do you plan to do after graduation, Akina-san?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "I already know Akina-san, and she plans to become an idol that attracts everyone's attention~"
I stuffed another piece of cantaloupe with a side of cabbage. Hearing this, he was so shy that he said, "What? It's still missing."
"Hahaha, we are already on the right path~" he joked, then continued to turn to Mingsui, "Aingsui-san?"
"Hey, I really haven't thought about it~ Learn to dance with my eldest sister? It seems that being an idol like Akina is quite interesting~" Akiho, who is only a freshman in high school, really hasn't thought that far~
"Hahaha, yes, Mingsui-san is still young~"
"What, you sound like an uncle!" Mingsui was a little angry, "Obviously I'm still underage!"
"Tsuruko actually told you this..."
"Todoroki? Naoki-san is not 20 years old yet?" Akina Nakamori was shocked. This was the first time she knew, "I thought he was the same age as Brother Minghao~"
Nagayama Naoki is also very helpless. His mental age is here, and he can’t pretend to be immature even if he wants to...
"Well~ well~ that's what it's all about."
Changing the topic decisively, "By the way, Kai-san, how is the competition of "Star! Birth!" going? Do you know when the next issue will be?"
"Not yet. Last time it was said that the decisive battle would be in December, but there will be a pre-review meeting at the end of November."
"Two months is almost here. Have you made any preparations?"
"There are no special preparations. I just contacted and sang as usual."
