By the time it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Zhizao had already returned to his apartment. He was currently wearing an apron and standing in front of the kitchen counter doing some preparation work, such as cleaning ingredients. Chinese cuisine, depending on the situation
The preparation time varies. The long preparations start several days in advance, while the short preparations only take a few minutes, such as cracking an egg or something. It is very easy and simple.
But today’s meal is to treat the little angel. Each dish does not need to be too much, but the number of dishes is better. In this way, a table of meals that looks crazy rich but is actually economical and affordable can be completed! Chinese
There is always a way, especially in this area.
However, even if you don’t need to cook too much for each dish, if the quantity increases, it will not be easy to prepare. Different dishes have different processing requirements for different ingredients, and the first step in learning to cook is never to practice knife practice
Skill, but familiarity with the ingredients. At least Xia Zhi worked in the kitchen for a week, just to know how to handle the ingredients... It was such a hard time.
But in general, I was quite happy to learn a lot of things. Although the process was boring, even though Xia Zhiming knew what he could learn, he still felt that it was better not to spend time on it. But learning this matter, if not
Of course you will feel bored if you are very interested.
The cell phone placed on the kitchen table suddenly vibrated. Xia Zhi shook the water on her hand, picked it up and took a look. The caller was Little Angel. Of course, she should be the only one who would call.
But this should be regarded as the only call in the past few days that I was in a normal state.
Natsuki was washing up when the last call came, and she was washing up when she called last time, and both times, Ryoko Yamamoto made the calls alone... This time she finally felt normal.
"Hey, this is Xia Zhi."
"Ah, Senior Xia Zhi. I'm under your apartment, if I'm not mistaken."
"I'll come right away, wait for me a moment."
Xia Zhi walked away from the kitchen counter and walked to the door. After opening the door, he walked to the corridor and saw the figure looking around uneasily in front of the apartment door. I don't know why, maybe because of timidity.
And the figure of Rise who feels uneasy about her surroundings looks particularly cute. To describe it, she feels like a squirrel placed among the crowd.
Looking at such cute things, people's body and mind will really be healed. Sure enough, angels are angels.
"Rishi."
Xia Zhi said hello to Rise. Suddenly she heard someone calling her and Rise trembled slightly. She turned around and looked at the second floor of the apartment and found Xia Zhi waving to her. She slowly walked away from the apartment.
He jogged all the way up the corridor.
"Senior Xia Zhi."
Running to Xia Zhi, Li Shi bowed respectfully.
"You don't have to be so respectful in private. Anyway, let's come in first."
"good."
"As for shoes, just wear any pair."
"Hey, is there anyone else living in Xia Zhi-senpai's apartment?"
"No, it's just that some classmates came to play this morning."
"Oh... I didn't bother you, did I?"
"Don't worry, I'll have already left at noon."
"ha……"
"Come in first."
Xia Zhi walked into the kitchen first, and Rishi carefully observed this unfamiliar space.
"Do you need something to drink? Is juice okay? Ah... I forgot to drink all the juice this morning."
"No, I'm not very thirsty."
Rishi quickly refused.
"Who are you kidding? It's still very hot today. It takes at least ten minutes to walk from here to the station. I felt like I was going to die when I came back. Don't be polite to me. There is also green tea, although the temperature is a bit
Low……"
Is it possible to keep it from getting cold if it is kept in the refrigerator for a whole day?
"Then...I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Are the honorifics getting heavier and heavier? Relax."
When Xia Zhi came out with the cup, Rise was still standing behind the sofa in the living room without sitting down. Xia Zhi was more or less helpless. He handed the tea cup to Rise, and the little angel took it with both hands and thanked him properly.
Xia Zhi put his hands on Rishi's shoulders and forcefully turned her around, then pushed her to the front of the sofa and pushed her to sit down. The girl looked a little flattered.
"Although we are seniors in school, now, here, we are just friends. Relax."
"……thank you."
"So don't use honorifics anymore. We are obviously the same age, but it feels weird."
He pressed Rishi on the sofa, but he still had things to do, so there was nothing he could do about it. After all, there was no strange energy in this world, and there were no strange creatures with many tails in his body, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Strange things are used to activate the clone technique. This is what happens when people are exhausted.
"Although I invited you over, as you can see, I can't get away right now. I'm so sorry."
Xia Zhi took a step back and showed the black apron he was wearing to Rishi.
“It’s quite troublesome to prepare some materials.”
"No need to prepare anything troublesome."
"Even if you say so, strictly speaking, there is no trouble-free Chinese cuisine."
"I want to help, but I know nothing about cooking, so I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter. I was the one who invited you here in the first place. I would feel bad if you asked me to help. Although it's a bit boring, I'm still a little confident in the cooking part. You can look forward to it a little bit."
"Um."
Rishi nodded obediently. Xia Zhi returned to the kitchen.
"Oh, by the way. Rishi, although there is nothing interesting, if you want to visit, you can."
"I see."
Xia Zhi continued to be busy, and there were still a lot of ingredients that had not been processed. Rise, who felt a little bored, stood up and began to look around. Compared to his own home, this apartment is not really an excellent place to live. It is almost
There are no decent decorations. Should I say it is simple or simple...
Usually the information about the furnishings in a room is enough to tell others some information about the owner, such as personality, preferences, etc., and the most superficial application can be used to judge whether the room belongs to a man or a woman. Although this is the most basic
Rough application is sometimes inaccurate - it is not impossible if it is an uncle with a strong girlish heart.
However, Xia Zhi's apartment was so simple that it seemed that it had not changed from the state before he moved in. Except for the occasional furniture that could be seen to be relatively new, most of the other items were still usable even though they were older. They were simple and
From the perspective of outsiders, a diligent and frugal life cannot be said to be rich and colorful.
The sound of running water in the kitchen and the sound of kitchen knives cutting on the chopping board kept coming. She could often hear such busy sounds when her mother was cooking. Although her mother was not very good at cooking, she was better than the other three people in the family.
It's too good to say that although the level of cooking is not very high, there are some very good specialties after cooking for a long time. Rishi once thought that her mother was the best cook in the world, until her sister took her out.
After one meal, the idea burst like a dream bubble.
However, although it is indeed not as good as the dishes sold in some restaurants, the taste will not be bad after so many years.
Amamiya Rise, who is good at observing, found a place that made people feel good. In this space, no matter it was in the corner or anywhere else, there was nothing like garbage at all. Although this is a matter of course, for
If you know clearly that you are not in a dirty place, you will feel more at ease.
The habit of observing her surroundings that she developed because of her timidity has brought her a sense of security.
As mentioned before, one can roughly understand a person's personality traits from the environment where he lives, provided that he does not disguise his living environment like spies in movies. A person should learn from the conversation
To be known, to be recognized in the details.
"Rishi, how spicy food can you eat?"
"Hey, if possible, please don't put too much chili pepper. I'm not good at spicy food..."
"OK."
This is a senior who has no airs of seniority. Although he is a foreign student, unexpectedly, his Japanese level is not low. When talking, he can no longer hear any weird intonations. Although it is still not up to standard
I can pronounce it very well with the same tone as a real Japanese, but with a very formal tone.
Generally speaking, can anyone reach this level in just one year? And I heard that it seems to be less than a year.
At this time, the busy sounds in the kitchen gradually subsided. Xia Zhi walked out.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. It's just that the preparations are almost done. You only need to wait another hour before you can start cooking."
"It's surprisingly a long wait."
“Some Chinese food is very troublesome, but once you get used to it, it’s actually not bad.”
Rishi was a little embarrassed.
"Did I really cause you trouble?"
"It's better to say it helped me a lot. I had wanted to cook some good food for a long time, but since I was alone, I didn't have much motivation. And if I cooked too much, I wouldn't be able to finish it."
What Xia Zhi said is not an excuse. Not to mention that Xia Zhi usually has a simple breakfast, has little time to prepare lunch, and almost always eats dinner in a coffee shop. Unless necessary, when you are the only one
Would you still spend a lot of time making a particularly troublesome meal? Xia Zhi obviously not.
If it weren't for the fact that eating too much instant noodles would make you tired and bad for your health, Xia Zhi wouldn't mind eating instant noodles for every meal.
"If that's really the case, then I'll feel at ease."
"I told you to relax, I don't have a scary face."
Xia Zhi was a little helpless.
"If you're too reserved, I don't know what to do. Just be like normal friends."
"...but I don't have many friends."
Wrong thing to say!
Xia Zhi mentally slapped himself.
"Aren't we just friends?"
It's not too late to remedy the situation now.
"But how to do it exactly?"
"Just do as I say."
"Even if you say so..."
"First of all, remove the honorifics. Friends don't need that kind of thing."
"……All right."
Xia Zhi was very satisfied with the little angel's compromise.
