Yushan Kazuto sent three big question marks, and then Tsuchimami's bombardment of emoticons stopped.
"Umi-chan, what are you doing?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Who, who asked the rogue senior to post that kind of photo! Yumi-chan can't see that kind of photo." said Domama.
"I just sent a photo of the starry sky. What did you think of that? And what about photos like that? They are all made up by your imagination, Komari-chan."
Lying in the bathtub, Tsuchiya's little face suddenly turned red. The picture sent by Yushan Kazuto had not yet been loaded, and she had already covered it with emoticons, and did not see what Yushan Kazuto sent at all.
After paddling for several seconds, Doma Mei finally found the photo that Yushan and Renfa had taken. The lingering mist and the starry sky were intertwined together, like a quiet night in fairyland.
"S-Sorry...my cell phone's internet speed is slow." Tsuchima made a small excuse.
In this regard, Yushan Kazuto could do nothing about it.
"Never mind. So what do you think of that photo?"
"What a beautiful starry sky. I've never seen one like it before." After a few seconds of silence, Tsuchiya replied.
"I'm asking about photo information like framing, focus, noise, etc."
"what is that?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked and gave up the idea of showing off in front of Doma Yui. He was originally planning to show off his professional skills.
"By the way? You said you have never seen a starry sky like this?" Yushan Heren replied.
"Hmm... As far as I can remember, I seem to have always lived in Tokyo."
It’s not that you can’t appreciate the starry sky in Tokyo, but under the influence of the light from the entire city, the starry sky becomes much dimmer.
"Have you ever traveled?" asked Yushan Heren.
"I'm not sure. I seem to have had the impression that there was, but I have almost forgotten everything about my childhood." Tsuchima replied.
"If you had told me earlier, I would have taken you with me." Yushan Kazuto blinked, but unfortunately he had already arrived in Wakura and it was impossible for him to return to Tokyo to pick up Doma Umi.
"No, no, Senior Kazuto, it's fine for me to stay at home and take care of Xiaoxue." said Doma.
Yushan Kazuto sighed, and the alarm on his cell phone rang.
"Is there anything else? I should get ready to get up." asked Yushan Kazuto.
"By the way, there is one more thing. I can stay at your house tonight and sleep with Xiaoxue. Is that okay?" Doma Mai just realized that she had to go to Yushan Kazuto for business.
"Didn't Ohira go home again?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"My brother is still working overtime." Tsuchimiya replied.
"You can stay here if you want, but remember to close the doors and windows. Xiaoxue sometimes moves around at night, so you'd better be careful." Yushan Heren said.
"Ah."
Seeing Tsuchimiya's reply, Yushan Kazuto suddenly stood up.
The icy cold wind blew on Yushan Heren's body, but he only felt a cool breeze, and his body, which had been heated by the hot spring, quickly cooled down.
After wiping his body briefly, Yushan Kazuto put on his clothes and walked into the room.
Sure enough, it is more comfortable to take a hot spring bath in winter!
……
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
When Yushan Kazuto opened the door, Hinazuru Ai was carrying a huge tray, looking a little strenuous.
The huge tray seemed a little out of harmony with Hinazuru Ai's small body. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink when he saw it, and hurriedly tried to take the tray, but unexpectedly, Hinazuru Ai avoided it.
"Dear guest, are you dissatisfied with my work? If you are satisfied, please respect my work." Hinazuru Ai said every word very seriously.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and had to move aside, watching Hinazuru Ai walk in step by step.
Although it looked a bit strenuous, his steps were steady, and he put the ramen and ginger soup on the tray.
On the stage, Hinazuru Aiza sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Are you tired?" Yushan Kazuto handed Hinazuru Ai a piece of sweat-absorbing paper. Her forehead was covered with sweat.
"Thank you, Kazuto-sama," Hinazuru said lovingly.
"No need." Yushan and others sat cross-legged next to the desk. He still couldn't get used to the traditional Japanese kneeling position.
"Brother Kazuto, can't you sit on your knees?" Hinazuru blinked and suddenly remembered that when Yushan Kazuto was playing chess in the chess academy, they seemed to be sitting cross-legged instead of the traditional kneeling position.
"Well...it's not that I don't know how to do it, I'm just not used to it." Yushan Heren said.
When kneeling, the body puts a lot of pressure on the calves, and your legs will feel numb after sitting for a long time. Yushan Kazuto only uses the kneeling position when doing stretching exercises.
"Is that so?"
Hinazuru Ai started to think in her mind that she might have to change the location of Yushan Kazuto's formal meeting with her parents tomorrow.
Otherwise, if Hinazuru Akina and Hinazuru Takashi saw that Hayama Kazuto was unwilling to even kneel down, they might think that Hayama Kazuto did not respect them enough.
The originally chosen meeting place was the Japanese-style living room at home, but now it seems that we may have to change to another room.
"What's wrong? Is it required to kneel in the hotel?" Yushan Heren asked with a blink.
"No, no, I was thinking about something and was a little absent-minded." Hinazuru Ai said hurriedly.
Yushan Kazuto shrugged and didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, where is Xiaohua? Why can't I see Xiaohua?" Hinazuru Ai looked around, but didn't see Shirasaki Hana either in the room or in the hot spring.
Chapter 631 Ramen and Ginger Soup
"Hana is taking a hot spring bath in Sagiri's room. She should be back soon." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Is it in Sister Sagiri's room?" Hinazuru Ai breathed a sigh of relief, "Can I go over and take a look?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "It should be finished by now. Just wait."
Although Hinazuru Ai is also a girl, Izumi Sagiri is very shy. If she were seen by Hinazuru Ai, she might have to flee back to Tokyo overnight.
Hinazuru liked what Yushan Kazuto said, so she stopped insisting and sat upright, waiting quietly.
After a few minutes, the security door in the middle opened with a "hiss".
Because the security door was too heavy, Shirasaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri worked together to push it open with great effort.
Seeing Kazuto Hayama and Ai Hinazuru already seated inside the house, Sagiri Izumi felt a little shy, but still walked over and sat on one side of the desk.
Shirasaki Hana sat down next to Yushan Kazuto with confidence. The heat from the hot spring had not yet completely dissipated, and Yushan Kazuto felt as if there was suddenly a small heater next to him.
"Eat quickly, or it will get cold." Yushan Heren said.
Food always cools down very quickly in winter, but what Yushan Kazuto said was a bit exaggerated. After all, Hinazuru Ryokan is a hot spring hotel, and surrounded by hot springs, the indoor temperature is still relatively high, and the food cools down accordingly.
However, neither Shirasaki Hana nor Izumi Sagiri noticed the loophole in Hayama Kazuto's words. They put their hands together, held up their chopsticks, and said in unison, "I'm starting."
……
The cuisine at Hinazuru Ryokan is very unique and tastes quite good.
Distinctive dishes are very common, and there are also many delicious dishes, but dishes that are both distinctive and very delicious are very rare.
As it is close to the sea, the dishes are full of seafood flavor. Apart from the umami taste, there is also a little fishy smell. However, when you eat it, this fishy smell does not affect the taste of the whole dish at all. Instead, it contrasts with the umami taste and has the effect of enhancing the freshness.
The fishy smell is probably not left untreated, but is intentionally retained. The purpose of retaining it is to enrich the taste of the whole dish, which is very unique.
Therefore, the cuisine of Hinazuru Ryokan is both unique and tastes quite good.
"Xiao Ai, you didn't cook dinner for us, did you?" asked Yushan Heren.
Although it tastes somewhat similar to the dishes that Hinazuru loves to cook, upon careful tasting, there are still many differences.
"Kazuto-sama, you found out." Hinazuru said lovingly, "The dinner was made by mother, and the ginger soup was cooked by father."
Hinazuru Ryokan originally did not provide midnight snack service, but after all, Yushan Kazuto and the other two were guests, and they were personally invited by their daughter, so Hinazuru Akina and Hinazuru Takashi had no choice but to do it.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "Thank Aunt Hinazuru and Uncle Hinazuru for me."
Hinazuru Ai shook her head and said, "As long as you like it, the hotel chef will prepare the food tomorrow. You can compare the taste."
Yushan Kazuto smiled and nodded, put down his chopsticks, picked up the ginger soup and took a sip.
It's a little spicy and a little sweet. The sweetness and spiciness are intertwined together, moistening the throat and entering the stomach. It feels like there is an extra round of warm sunshine in the abdomen. The taste is very satisfying.
Looking at the enjoying expression on Yushan Kazuto's face, Hinazuru Ai couldn't help but smile.
Although Hinazuru Takashi is not very good at cooking other dishes, and is not even as good as Hinazuru Ai, cooking ginger soup is his specialty.
Paired with the ramen made by Akina Hinazuru, it is a perfect match. The two different flavors are blended together in an orderly manner, which greatly improves the layers and taste.
"Xiaohua, Sagiri, you should also try the ginger soup. It tastes better when eaten together." Yushan Heren said.
Shirasaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri also took a sip of the ginger soup. Just this one sip made them both fall in love with the layered taste.
"It tastes so good." said Shirosaki Hana.
"It's a good thing I didn't choose barley tea and brown rice tea before." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Although Izumi Sagiri didn't say anything, the expression on her face said it all.
"Xiao Ai, don't you want to eat?" Shirosaki Hana looked at Hinazuru Ai. Among the four people present, only Hinazuru Ai did not move her mouth.
However, there was no food that Hinazuru liked on the table, and Shirasaki Hana regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I am now responsible for accompanying the guests at meals, so I cannot eat." Hinazuru said with a smile.
Hearing what Hinazuru Ai said, Shirosaki Hana couldn't help but burst out laughing and continued to eat with her head down.
The three of them ate at a moderate pace, and it took them about twenty-five minutes to finish.
The portion of ramen was quite large. Although it didn't seem like much on the surface, when they actually ate it, Yushan and the other two discovered that there were so many noodles hidden under the rich soup.
The noodles on the lower layer were more flavorful and had a more delicious taste. Hinazuru Ai also brought three cups of cold tea and recommended a way to eat them.
Pick up half of the noodles, wash them in cold tea, then quickly pull up the remaining half and roll them up.
In this way, with one bite, you can taste four different levels of flavors: cold, hot, light, and fresh, which is even more wonderful.
Although Yushan Kazuto is a very skilled cook, he has never thought about a similar way of eating. After all, Hinazuru Ryokan is an old inn with a history of over a hundred years. He thought about it when he had nothing to do, and actually figured out a unique way of eating.
It’s not that great, but it does taste much better, that’s for sure.
After eating the noodles and drinking the ginger soup, Shirasaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri felt a little full.
Yushan and Ren were fine, but they also felt a little full.
No matter how he felt about the next two days in Wakura, just this dinner alone made Kazuto Yuyama feel that this trip to Wakura was worth it.
……
It was late at night when Kirisu Madoka finally arrived at Hinazuru Inn with a staggering step.
Fortunately, when she arrived in Kanazawa, the train was still running, otherwise her room fee for tonight would have been in vain.
Even so, it was already very late when Kirisu Mafuyu arrived at Hinazuru Ryokan, and there was only one person working at the front desk.
"Kirisu Mafuyu, 080-********." Standing at the front desk, Kirisu Mafuyu gave her name and cell phone number somewhat tiredly.
"Dear guest, you have reserved a private bath room. Please follow me." said the waiter in charge of night watch at the front desk.
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded, dragged her suitcase, and followed the maid towards the room.
The entire Hinazuru Hotel is not too big, but the decoration is extremely exquisite and has a very Japanese style. Kirisu Mafuyu walked on the ground and observed carefully. Compared with the last time she came to Hinazuru Hotel, the decoration of the hotel this time was obviously renovated.
Chapter 632 Trainee Waiter
"This is your room." Leading Kirisu Mafuyu to the corridor, Kirisu Mafuyu's room was next to Yushan Kazuto's.
"Thank you." Kirisu Madoka nodded and took her suitcase.
Originally, Kirisu Madoka was planning to carry her luggage herself, but the waiter refused to do so, so she had to hand her things over to him.
"If you need anything, you can come to me. My working hours are from tonight to eight o'clock tomorrow morning," said the waiter.
Kirisu Madoka nodded and was about to walk into the room when she suddenly felt a little hungry.
After sitting in the car for such a long time and not eating much at night, she was now a little hungry.
"Excuse me, does the hotel have any midnight snacks?" Kirisu Madoka paused.
