"Is it really not possible?"
Song blinked, her eyes carrying a hint of coquettishness.
"There's really no other way, but today's special dish is quite good, would you like to try it?"
Aoba shook his head and looked at Matsuoka.
"For takeout, fried foods and steamed dishes are also quite convenient."
"If there are any other dishes you'd like to eat, that's fine too..."
The words have not yet fallen.
Before he could even open his mouth, Yabuki slammed the katana down on the table and said:
"A thick omelet."
Both of them were taken aback upon hearing this.
Song adjusted his glasses with one hand, glancing at Ya Yu's serious expression, and suddenly burst into laughter, though he didn't know what he was thinking.
His smile was like that of a mischievous little mouse that had stolen a secret treat.
Aoba hadn't expected Karasu to be so straightforward, and still ordered the same dishes she had ordered for her first visit to the restaurant.
"Miss Karasu, wouldn't you consider other dishes? They're delicious too." Aoba sighed helplessly.
Don't you get tired of eating the same dish all the time?
"will not."
With unwavering determination in his eyes, Raven Feather answered Aoba without hesitation.
Just like the sword she held in her hand.
"...Oh well."
Qingye couldn't refuse Yayu, so she lowered her eyes and agreed, then asked Song for his opinion.
However, the bespectacled girl was staring at Karasu and Aoba with suspicion.
She felt that the two of them had been exchanging some kind of cryptic message.
Snapped!
The hilt of the sword was raised slightly.
"Let's have one of each of the dishes the manager recommended earlier," Matsu said earnestly to Aoba.
There was no trace of his gossipy nature just now.
"Alright then, please wait a moment."
Qingye chuckled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the kitchen. She paused as she lifted the curtain, then turned back and said:
"You don't need to pay for today's meal; consider it my thank-you gift."
"Thank you both for your help last night..."
Too many monsters are involved in the battle at Toyama Park, including quite a few opportunists. 2.9
Since Karasu and Fuuka are involved in the battle, it's likely that Matsu is providing support behind the scenes.
Therefore, it is also necessary to build good relationships with them.
We might need their help later.
"Oh, by the way, I'd also like to ask you two to take a portion to Miss Fuka and Miss Miya later as well."
I didn't see Feng Hua tonight; she probably went out drinking somewhere.
"No problem, leave it to me..."
Song readily agreed with a grin and sat down next to Ya Yu.
"The manager actually treated us... That's so generous. But speaking of which, when I went to see Feng Hua, she unusually didn't drink any alcohol."
"...And the store manager actually knows Sister Miya?"
"Did Sister Meizai really come all this way to help you get revenge?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Yu's face darkened even further.
It's all Matsu's fault for having such a big mouth! Otherwise, how could the news that her Sekirei pattern reacts to Aoba have spread everywhere?
Chapter 203 Improvement in Cooking Skills! Kasumigaoka: Is this a confession?
Aoba returns to the kitchen.
Take out a small square pan and skillfully crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until golden brown.
Without Little Dragon Girl's help tonight, I was indeed too busy on my own.
Ugh
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality
Brush oil inside a small square pan, pour in layers of golden egg mixture evenly, turn the heat to the lowest setting and cook until done, turning it into an egg roll.
While waiting, you can put the steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao that are kept in the refrigerator on another stove to steam.
The water in the steamer is already prepared; once the water boils and steam rises, just steam for thirteen minutes.
After finishing this task, the egg mixture in the small square pan was also cooked.
The smooth egg mixture is pushed out and rolled up by the spatula, then another layer of egg mixture is poured on top.
Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used up. The thick omelet is then ready. Place it on a plate, cut it open, and drizzle it with a special flower petal sauce.
The glistening, translucent sauce, dotted with tiny Yamabuki flower petals, encases the golden, thick omelet.
The rich aroma combined with the unique flavor of the egg mixture makes this thick omelet simple yet sophisticated.
While it hasn't quite reached the level of a glowing dish, it's not far off.
The enhancement brought by the "Uncorrupted" attribute can be said to have brought Aoba closer to the legendary realm of chefs.
So for him, the importance of opening this small shop in 09 lies precisely in this.
See the pinnacle of the culinary world through ordinary dishes.
It is a realm that even the master in the previous life had never reached.
"Whoo~"
Aoba carefully plated the thick omelet, as if it were a complete and fragile work of art.
[Ding! The host has gained a new understanding of cooking. Cooking with love, cooking skill experience +5]
The instant it was completed.
A notification suddenly popped into Qingye's mind.
Well ~
Is this considered part of good fortune?
Aoba looked at the thick tamagoyaki in front of her and smiled for no reason.
To attribute everything to luck would be to negate all one's hard work, wouldn't it?
As my master once said, success in that field comes naturally.
Just take it in stride.
However, the prompt mentioned something about making dishes with love...
He felt nothing at all.
I just assumed it was a system glitch, and things like love and friendship—aren't those things only in anime?
He was just an ordinary cook.
At most, his cooking is just a little better.
In addition, this dish contains a gesture of gratitude towards Raven Feather.
But love is absolutely out of the question!
This is an izakaya, a place to satisfy hunger, not some kind of brothel where you can flirt with older women!
As Aoba was thinking, the timer next to her went off.
The steamed snacks are ready.
He casually took it down and then put the Three-Body Steamer on it.
These are thank-you gifts for Miss Feng Hua and the others.
After finishing everything, he brought out the tamagoyaki and steamed buns together.
"Please enjoy your thick omelet."
"This is today's special dish, Miss Matsu, please try it."
Two dishes were placed in front of the two people at the same time.
Just a glance.
Song immediately frowned, a white light flashing behind his glasses.
Especially when I saw that Ya Yu's thick omelet was not only cut open but also drizzled with flower sauce, and it even looked much tastier than the one I made.
They don't look like they were made by the same person at all!
"Manager, isn't this a bit too biased?"
Song quickly and swiftly retorted.
"Raven Feather's dish looks so much better than mine. Can I ask for another one exactly the same?"
Upon hearing this, Aoba smiled noncommittally.
Is there a gap?
Of course there is.
