After Natsuki was brought into the home economics classroom by Ryoko Yamamoto, she felt that the boys standing outside the classroom and watching in confusion were intrusive, so she walked over, smiled at them, and closed the door with a bang.
.
Another girl followed suit and closed the other door. Now the situation in the entire classroom is...
Xia Zhi was a boy, and there were no less than six girls. One of them was wearing an apron and looked at Xia Zhi a little shyly. Although Xia Zhi had seen it before because of the photo sent to him by Yamamoto Ryoko.
One time, Shiraishi Rika was wearing private clothes and an apron, and she still has a place where she keeps her treasures. Another time, she, Yamamoto Ryoko, and Tachibana Aya were invited to eat dumplings together.
But I didn't pay much attention to it at that time.
Strictly speaking, this should be the third time she has seen Shiraishi Rika put on an apron, and this time she put it on after wearing her school uniform. Well, it still looks pretty good-looking, although Xia Zhi doesn't understand what the similarity is.
The relationship is inside.
Natsuki noticed that the girls were surrounding Shiraishi Rika. Based on the information he had received before, they were probably waiting for Shiraishi Rika to give them sample snacks or something. They probably came at the right time.
"Although you came at the right time, you don't have a share in this meal." Yamamoto Ryoko said to Natsuki. Probably they had divided all the food in advance before Natsuki came.
"If not, then there won't be." Although Xia Zhi felt a little heartbroken, he still waved his hand.
Xia Zhi said hello to the girls, then found a chair nearby and sat down, looking at them, or Shiraishi Lihua was busy. There were various things on the kitchen table, Xia Zhi
Some he knew, and some he didn't, but to be honest, Xia Zhi didn't really understand things like the tools for making snacks, there were a lot of messy things.
The girls were chatting away, occasionally asking Xia Zhi to say a few words, and then turning back. After all, in their eyes, delicious snacks are the only truth. Xia Zhi's original purpose was also
I’m not here to eat and drink. As for making coffee, although there are some fancy things in specialized shops, in fact, if you don’t have those things, it won’t have much impact. There is a kettle that can boil water.
, there is a container that can hold coffee, and a few cups are actually enough.
In terms of process, there is not much difference between handmade coffee and instant coffee. But in the eyes of most people, handmade coffee is better than mass-produced coffee. I don’t know why it is more advanced, and the more relevant practitioners, the better it is.
I look down on mass-produced things, why? Because everyone is drinking instant coffee, so what do you have to do? A pot of hot water, a glass, and some coffee powder, and that’s it.
Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents, which made sense no matter what era.
It is precisely because it is more advanced than "mass-produced products" that drinking coffee requires all kinds of advanced things, such as water temperature, containers, raw materials... Oh, the raw materials will indeed affect the taste of coffee.
, southern orange and northern orange. But in most cases, or if you look at it less professionally, there is not much difference between the two.
Xia Zhi didn't have so many requirements. A few things were enough. After all, he was not the focus here. After confirming that there was indeed no shortage of what he needed, Xia Zhi had no idea and sat on the chair to observe.
Shiraishi Reika was running around making various snacks.
As expected of a five-star chef, Xia Zhi could hardly see the materials and tools on the table. Shiraishi Lihua just took them and used them without even looking at them. When they were done, she put them in the oven.
, start baking when it is full. The oven is not very big, after all, it is only used as a teaching tool in schools, but there is no problem in baking snacks for several people at a time.
While Shiraishi Rika was doing it, she was explaining how to make these snacks to the girls next to her. Natsuki could understand most of them. Although the girls were also asking questions, they didn't seem to want to learn.
, at least Yamamoto Ryoko didn't listen at all, staring at the timer in the oven, waiting for it to be baked and eaten.
Perhaps for her, as long as Lihua is with her for a day, she will not lack such delicious snacks. In a sense, Yamamoto Ryoko can be regarded as a winner in life. She can still do it every day without studying.
I ate delicious snacks. However, Xia Zhi wondered whether she would be spoiled by Shiraishi Rika in the future. This is a sad thing.
By the way, more than ten minutes have passed. As soon as Xia Zhi turned around, he could see the pair of eyes staring at him from the window on the classroom door. This was because Xia Zhi didn't want to make too many misunderstandings and sat there.
The reason for not moving.
The girls were talking about delicious snacks over there, and the oven rang. Yamamoto Ryoko moved very quickly. If Shiraishi Rika hadn't been standing next to the oven watching, she would have almost pulled the handle of the oven. I hope.
She shouldn't really have such irrational thoughts.
"I feel like I can already smell the aroma of snacks."
"It's too exaggerated!"
Shiraishi Lihua opened the oven and put on her gloves one by one the strange-shaped things that should be cakes on the iron plate, which were very similar to the small cakes that were placed in paper cups one by one. Although Xia Zhi
I have no idea what method she used to keep the cake in this shape. After all, she didn't have a mold or anything.
Maybe Shiraishi Rika used her super powers in strange places.
Shiraishi Rika put all the cakes on the plate.
"Try it and see how it tastes."
Although she said something about letting people test poison, her face did not express such a message. She looked very happy, and she was probably very confident in the snacks she made. Damn it! I want to eat it too...
Xia Zhi sat there, watching these evil women eating the delicacies of the world without being moved. In other words, he was too willing to take away the food from their hands.
Perhaps it was because Shiraishi Lihua saw Xia Zhi unconsciously watching the girls eating snacks. She thought about it, took a new plate next to it, picked a few from the plate with cakes and put them on her
With the plate in his hand, he then walked towards Natsuki. Yamamoto Ryoko saw it and wanted to say something, but when he rolled his eyes, he showed a bad smile.
"If you don't mind, Xia Zhijun, would you like to have a taste?"
Xia Zhi had already guessed this result when he saw Shiraishi Rika coming over with the cake, but wouldn't it be too unethical to just nod directly? So Xia Zhi "hesitated" for a moment and nodded.
"I don't mind at all."
The small cake placed on the plate was still steaming and smelled good. Even Xia Zhi, who didn't have much interest in snacks and desserts, felt that this cake must be delicious. Xia Zhi stretched out his hand,
The moment he touched the small cake, his hand was slapped away. Xia Zhi looked at Shiraishi Lihua in confusion.
Putting something in front of her but not letting her eat it, Shiraishi Rika shouldn't be such a naughty person, right?
"Go wash your hands first."
"I think my hands are pretty clean..."
"Go wash your hands first." Shiraishi Lihua shrank back the hand holding the plate. The small cake was getting further and further away from her. Xia Zhi had no choice but to listen to her words, stood up from the chair, and walked to the table next to her.
He washed his hands in the sink for a while. Because he had already washed them at home, Xia Zhi really just washed his hands a little. After washing, he just turned around and saw Shiraishi Lihua staring at him with a pair of eyes. Needless to say, Xia Zhi also understood.
, I probably didn’t wash it enough to satisfy Rika Shiraishi.
So I silently turned on the faucet, squeezed some hand sanitizer on the side and washed it again honestly.
Xia Zhi seemed to be able to hear the girl snickering over there.
Now that things have happened, this kind of trivial matter doesn't matter to Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi didn't panic. After washing his hands, he glanced at Shiraishi Lihua again. Her expression changed to "Okay" and then she walked away from the pool.
Open. Life is really hard.
But you can eat delicious food, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit difficult. Xia Zhi got what he wanted and got a small cake. It was said to be a small cake, but it was actually not very small. If Xia Zhi held his fist, the small cake could actually be as big as a fist.
About half the size.
Not really caring about what the cake looked like, Xia Zhi took a bite of the cake that was still a little hot. Perhaps because it had just been baked, the aroma and sweetness of the cake spread in her mouth... If only it could not be so sweet.
Just fine.
"How about it?"
Shiraishi Rika asked, and she seemed to be quite concerned about this issue. She was also a chef. Although she was only at the bottom of the class, she had finally entered the profession. It was not that she could not understand her mood. After all, for this industry,
, guest reviews are indeed very important.
"It's delicious. You obviously know your skill level very well, you don't need to ask me."
"It's great that it matches the taste. However, Xia Zhijun, for chefs, anyone's suggestions are worth referring to."
"Especially the people you care about." Yamamoto Ryoko ran over at no time and suddenly spoke, which startled Xia Zhi. Next to her, Shiraishi Rika was stunned for half a second. She blushed and reached out to block Yamamoto.
Ryoko's mouth.
Ryoko Yamamoto dodged nimbly.
"A Saint will never fail the same move twice!" She folded her arms and said proudly.
After biting off the remaining half of the cake, Yamamoto Ryoko clapped her hands: "Although Lihua's cake is delicious, I feel a little thirsty. Don't you think so?" She asked Xia Zhi.
But Xia Zhi was indifferent and continued to chew the cake bite by bite: "If you are thirsty, go drink water."
"I'm hinting to you that it's time for you to perform! Can't you understand it?"
Ryoko Yamamoto was heartbroken.
"It's a pity that we don't have such a tacit understanding yet."
Although Xia Zhi doesn't mind, you can't keep delicious food for too long. If you keep it for too long, it will disappear, as is the case now.
Natsuki finished the small cakes one by one, not giving Yamamoto Ryoko a chance to eat them. Then she clapped her hands and stood up.
"Do you want cold water or hot water?"
"Nonsense! I want to drink water, can't I pour it myself? Let's make a few cups of coffee and see."
Xia Zhi looked around. Although he had the tools, he didn't see the raw materials.
"You don't want me to make coffee with my bare hands, do you? I don't know how to do this kind of magic."
"Didn't you buy something at the mall yesterday?"
"I didn't buy it..."
"I'll look for it."
Yamamoto Ryoko walked to the other side with a big bag on it, flipped it around, and then brought out a bag of something that looked familiar to Xia Zhi: "This should be it." Then he put it on the kitchen counter, and Xia Zhi said
After looking at it carefully, I found that I did recognize it.
"I asked why it looks so familiar. Did you buy the ones used in the store from that mall?"
"Oh, so you know each other? That's just right."
Xia Zhi is very familiar with this bag of coffee beans, and has a deep memory of it. It is called "Blue Mountain", which is the Blue Mountain of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. It is one of the top brands and quality of coffee beans. Of course, it
The price is also top-notch. Although it is not as expensive as civet cat, it is not that cheap in comparison.
But this bag of coffee is very cheap. The price is only about a quarter of the normal price. The store manager will not regard the guys selling goods in the mall as idiots who don’t know the goods. In other words... this thing is probably just a trick.
I bought other varieties sold by the Blue Mountain brand, or they were indeed Blue Mountain coffee seeds, and then I got secondary products mass-produced elsewhere. In short, this stuff is not authentic.
Surprisingly, the quality of this kind of coffee beans is pretty good and the price is quite reasonable, so the store manager often buys this kind of coffee beans. Even Xia Zhi grinds them in the store and takes them home to drink.
I think the taste is actually pretty good.
But the coffee beans are actually a little troublesome. If you are in the store, you can use a filter to filter out the residue of the coffee beans. Xia Zhi is used to it, and the coffee powder he grinds himself is very fine, so there is no problem, but when he takes it out
It's a little more subtle when it comes to selling...
"I guess you didn't buy filter paper."
After all, I just decided to open a coffee shop at the beginning, and then I only knew that coffee was a must. As for what kind of coffee to buy, it didn’t really matter, because generally speaking, there wouldn’t be any big problems with the method of handling it.
Even if there is, you can ask the store manager for advice. But Xia Zhi also forgot about filtering.
I don’t know if they are sold outside the school.
"Who said that! I bought it!"
Yamamoto Ryoko took out another large box containing [coffee filter paper] from the plastic bag and looked at Natsuki proudly.
"Do you think I would forget something so important?"
Did Ryoko Yamamoto turn out to be such a witty character?
"I asked Ryoko to bring it with me because we often use it at home." Standing next to her, Lika Shiraishi made trouble for her best friend.
"...Well, Lihua, I have known you for a long time."
The corners of Yamamoto Ryoko's eyes twitched, and Shiraishi Rika glanced to the other side in embarrassment.
Natsuki silently took out the box from Ryoko Yamamoto's hand and walked to the other side to prepare coffee.
