In fact, the real reason is that Sanae Toumori bought dozens of claw machines and placed them at home. She would catch dolls and practice her skills when she had nothing to do.
Chapter 1087 Izumi Sagiri's Design
Ever since she almost went crazy the last time she taught someone how to grab dolls, Toumori Sanae bought a claw machine home.
If the Touma family had not already owned shares in several arcades in Akihabara, Touma Sanae might have bought one.
However, it was too troublesome to come to Akihabara specifically to practice catching dolls, so Sanae Toumori finally decided to buy all the mainstream machines on the market and take them home.
After some hard practice, Toumori Sanae's skills in catching dolls naturally improved. She even found some little tricks for machines like the octopus machine, which mostly rely on luck.
What made Yushan Heren feel a little strange was that usually when a few of them played catching dolls for a long time, they would be asked to leave the store in a friendly manner by the store clerk, but today nothing happened.
However, as they played for a while, Yushan and Ren restrained themselves a little, mainly because they caught too many dolls and didn't know where to put them, so they stopped.
I played the gashapon machine, but my luck might be a little bad today, so I didn't get anything good. However, Yushan and Ren didn't care, because he had already used up the money stored in the membership card.
After lunch, I went shopping in the supermarket in the afternoon. The day was almost over. After sending Touma Sanae home, Yushan and Renren took Tsuchima Umi back home.
After opening the door, Yushan Heren discovered Izumi Sagiri sitting on the sofa and couldn't help but blink slightly.
Seeing Hayama Kazuto, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but whispered, "Kazuto-brother."
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. He had been outside the whole day today. Although he had prepared lunch for Izumi Sagiri in advance, could this have caused Izumi Sagiri to be dissatisfied?
Walking to the sofa, Yushan and Ren saw the painting in Izumi Sagiri's hand, which showed an exquisite birthday cake.
"Brother Kazuto, what do you think of this cake?" asked Sagiri Izumi shyly.
Yushan Kazuto picked up the cake. The cake on it was simple yet exquisite. The double-layer cake was decorated with chocolate chips, and there was a big portrait of Shirasaki Hana drawn on the top. The style was humorous and a little bit playful.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly, and Doma Mai leaned over and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sagiri, you draw so well!"
Izumi Sagiri blushed immediately and lowered her head: "No... I didn't bury my sister as exaggerated as you said."
Yushan Kazuto looked at Izumi Sagiri and said, "Umaru-chan is right, Sagiri, you draw very well, but I think the size of the cake can be slightly adjusted."
"How many inches do you plan to change it to, Brother Kazuto?" asked Izumi Sagiri in a low voice.
"Ten inches, Xiaohua is also turning ten this birthday, so ten inches would have a better meaning." Yushan Heren said.
"But if it's only ten inches, the painting on the top layer will need to be more detailed. Are you sure, Sagiri?"
Izumi Sagiri nodded slightly: "You can give it a try."
Yushan Kazuto smiled. What Izumi Sagiri said meant that she still had some confidence in her heart.
Moreover, even if the final result is not satisfactory, no one will blame Sagiri Izumi. After all, isn't the most important thing about a birthday gift the thought behind it?
"Then I'll make the top layer five inches, is that okay?"
The cake in Izumi Sagiri's painting also has two layers in a 1:2 ratio, and Yushan Kazuto is just scaled down proportionally.
Izumi Sagiri nodded. Originally, she designed them for twelve inches and six inches, but it would not be a big deal to reduce them to ten inches and five inches.
"That's settled then. I'll go prepare some cream first. Sagiri, you can try painting with cream." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"Then I'll go back to my room first. Brother Kazuto will call me when you're ready." Izumi Sagiri returned to the room with the painting.
Yushan Kazuto turned around and looked at Tsuchima Yui: "Seeing the chocolate chips in Sagiri's picture, you also want a chocolate birthday card, right? Why don't you hurry up and prepare it?"
Tsuchima Mai pursed her lips and walked into the kitchen. Yushan Kazuto followed her in. In fact, his task was heavier than Tsuchima Mai's. Not only did he have to prepare cream for Izumi Sagiri, he also had to prepare dinner for the three of them.
……
After dinner, Izumi Sagiri rarely returned to her room, but instead started practicing in the kitchen.
Originally, Kazuto Yuyama planned to let Sagiri Izumi take the cream to the room to practice, but Sagiri Izumi might have felt embarrassed that Kazuto Yuyama would have to help her clean up after she made the room dirty, so she insisted on practicing in the kitchen.
There is a dedicated person responsible for cleaning the apartment, even including Yushan Kazuto's own room. After all, with Hui-chan helping to keep an eye on the whole house, there aren't really any big problems.
However, Izumi Sagiri's room is an exception, and her room is cleaned by Hayama Kazuto.
Izumi Sagiri is still afraid of contact with strangers. In order to prevent Izumi Sagiri from being disturbed, Yushan Kazuto had to take on this task himself.
Doma Mai was still making the chocolate. The chocolate chips were easy to deal with, but the chocolate bars were a little more difficult.
The shape needs to be square, and it also needs to be free of bubbles, burrs, and very flat.
And it also has to be made very thin.
The combination of several requirements makes it quite difficult. Tujianmai had tried twice before but failed both times.
Either there are burrs or the chocolate board is directly broken.
Yushan Kazuto was observing the two's actions from the side.
After all, Yushan Heren's work for today has been finished, so it would be better to start baking the cake tomorrow, as fresh cakes will taste sweeter.
Izumi Sagiri's hand movements were steady, and the cream painting she drew was very beautiful, but Izumi Sagiri still frowned, as if she was not very satisfied.
I'm still not used to painting with cream. It's hard to control the strength of squeezing the cream, and the simple lines don't have much sense of layering.
As she tried and thought, Izumi Sagiri's movements became more and more skillful.
Looking at Izumi Sagiri concentrating on painting, Yushan Kazuto felt that even if Izumi Sagiri gave up her job as a painter and became a pastry chef in the future, she would definitely receive a good response.
Looking at Doma Mai, she was also concentrating on making chocolates, and Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile.
Although Tsuchiya Yui keeps failing, she has learned a lot of lessons. If nothing goes wrong, she will definitely succeed after trying two or three more times.
Looking at the chocolate that Yui Doma had made crumbling into pieces, Kazuto Yuyama suddenly remembered the chocolate card of Chika Fujiwara.
Such a thin and flat card did not break at all, and seemed to be very tough.
How much effort did Fujiwara Chika put into making chocolate?
Yushan and Ren are somewhat difficult to estimate.
Chapter 1088 Birthday Cake
On Monday afternoon, Yushan Kazuto returned home early.
When I walked into the house, I saw two pairs of small shoes. Tsuchima Mai and Toumori Sanae were already busy in the kitchen.
We had originally agreed to pick up Touma Sanae on the way to Tama in the afternoon.
However, after school, when the driver went to the school to pick up Sanae Touma, he saw Sanae Doma waiting for the bus on the side, so he changed his decision temporarily and brought Sanae Doma back.
Toumori Sanae and Tsuchima were preparing the ingredients needed to make the cake together. Looking at Toumori Sanae's cautious look, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile.
If she were at home, Sanae Toumori would definitely not do these things. There are five or six chefs in Toumori's family, some cooking Japanese food, some cooking Western food, some cooking Chinese food, some cooking dim sum, etc. There is no need for her to do anything.
Of course, those chefs were also afraid that Sanae Tokumori would do it herself, after all, Sanae Tokumori's destructive power in the kitchen was amazing.
Fortunately, their task was only to prepare the ingredients, which would at most make the kitchen a little dirty, but at least they didn't have to worry about things like fire.
The cake pattern drawn by Sagiri Izumi is relatively simple, but even so, there are more than a dozen ingredients used.
Looking at Toumori Sanae working hard to beat the eggs, Yushan Kazuto was a little hesitant whether to tell her that there was actually an egg beater in the kitchen cabinet.
Noticing that Yushan Kazuto had arrived home, Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly: "Kazuto-senpai, didn't you say we would make the cake ourselves? Why did you go out and buy a cake?"
Yushan Heren was holding an exquisite cake gift box in his hand, which even had a pattern of Hu Zilang on it.
"This is not a cake, it's just a packaging shell." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
The packaging shell was designed by Kazuto Yuyama who specially asked a cake shop to design it. That cake shop also launched a joint cake with Hu Zilang, and Kazuto Yuyama even took Hana Shirasaki to eat it.
Because of their experience, the cake shop was very familiar with this kind of thing. But what made the cake shop feel strange was why Yushan Heren only wanted the packaging shell and not the cake.
But it doesn't matter. After selling the packaging shell, the profit is not much lower than the cake. After asking a few simple questions, the customized cake shell was handed to Yushan Kazuto.
Doma Mei nodded, and Touma Sanae also looked up. It was obvious that her hands were a little sore from beating the eggs.
One is five inches and the other is ten inches, so a total of more than a dozen eggs are needed. It is indeed a bit difficult to beat them directly with your hands.
Yushan Kazuto put the shell on the table, looked at Toumori Sanae, and took out an egg beater from the kitchen cabinet less than one meter away from her.
Touma Sanae looked at Hayama Kazuto with surprise in her eyes. Hayama Kazuto blinked angrily, but it was not her fault. Who knew that before he came back, she and Doma Mai were already preparing the ingredients for making the cake.
With the egg beater, Toumori Sanae's work became much easier, and Yushan Kazuto also started preparing molds in the kitchen.
The molds used to make cakes need to be cleaned carefully, after all, they have not been used for a long time.
The three of them each performed their duties in the kitchen and cooperated very well without affecting anyone else at all.
By the time Yushan Kazuto dried the utensils, Touma Sanae and Doma had just finished preparing the ingredients, poured them into the molds, and put them in the preheated oven.'
While baking the cake, the three of them were still busy, after all, they still had to prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Sanae Touma continued to do the whipping work she was good at, and seemed to be addicted to the feel of using the egg beater. Mai Doma took out the chocolate blocks she had made yesterday and used a file to scrape them into chocolate chips.
Yushan Heren's task is to cut the fruits into plates. A qualified cake naturally needs to be decorated with fruits, even if it is not a fruit cake.
The main purpose of adding fruit is to relieve greasiness. Of course, another more important function is to provide weight.
If it is too light, the whole structure might fall apart all the way from Tokyo to Tama. With the fruit used as counterweight, there is no need to worry about structural problems.
After all the ingredients are prepared and the cake is almost baked, a layer of whipped cream is brushed on it and the surface is flattened with plastic paper. The next step is Sagiri Izumi's responsibility.
After practicing several times last night, Izumi Sagiri has become very skilled, but she is still a little timid about painting on the cake, especially since there is one more person today, Toumori Sanae.
However, although she was afraid, the effect of Sagiri Izumi's painting was not bad at all. It was even more than 10% better than her most successful one yesterday.
After all, during the day today, Izumi Sagiri had been thinking about how to draw this cake well.
Cake painting is the same as normal painting. In addition to talent and experience, what is more important is thinking.
Izumi Sagiri has been thinking for so long, it's hard not to make progress.
Sprinkle some chocolate chips on it and insert the chocolate stand at the end, which really serves as the finishing touch and makes the whole cake look much more complete.
Looking at the masterpiece in front of them that was completed by everyone's collaboration, several people couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
"What if I want to try it in advance?" Yushan Heren joked.
"No, this is for Xiaohua!" Toumori Sanae and Doma Mai said immediately.
"Hey, look at the two of you moving like a hen protecting her chicks." Yushan Heren smiled.
Toumori Sanae and Tsuchima couldn't help but puff up their cheeks, but Izumi Sagiri blinked and said, "Little chicken, isn't it already
Is it in the cake?"
The three of them were stunned, and then they burst out laughing: "Sagiri, you don't usually talk much, how come you speak so many golden sentences when you open your mouth?"
After hearing what Yushan Kazuto said, Izumi Sagiri felt a little shy and lowered her head.
Touma Sanae and Tsuchima Mai also burst into laughter. The way Izumi Sagiri asked the question seriously just now was really funny.
"Hey, hey, you two, stay away from the cake, don't contaminate it." Yushan Heren reminded.
The two looked at Yushan Heren with dissatisfaction, took a few steps back, and continued laughing.
Izumi Sagiri looked at the two of them and turned her head away.
"By the way, do you think I should dress more formally today?" Yushan Kazuto suddenly asked.
After all, it was Shirasakihana's tenth birthday, and Yushan Kazuto felt that he should take it seriously.
And what Doma Mai said last time was right. If I don't wear that suit more often, won't it be wasted soon?
"Of course!"
The three of them said in unison. Izumi Sagiri's voice might have been a little quieter, but she also shouted it out.
"Do you need to change clothes?" Yushan Heren blinked and said.
Chapter 1089 Arrival at Tama
Sitting in the car, Tsuchiya was still a little nervous.
She didn't have anything too formal, so she just wore a solid-colored dress and a pair of gloves.
Compared to the suit of Hayama Kazuto and the dresses of Touma Sanae and Izumi Sagiri, this outfit is a bit too conventional.
Izumi Sagiri originally did not have a formal dress like Doma Mai, but her figure was similar to that of Touma Sanae. Although she was slightly taller than Touma Sanae, she had no problem wearing Touma Sanae's dress.
After Hayama Kazuto sent Touma Sanae to Touma's house, she prepared a loose dress that she had never worn before for Izumi Sagiri.
Not to mention, it actually suits Izumi Sagiri quite well, at least it's much slimmer than it does on Toumori Sanae herself.
