Mai Sakurajima looked at Kazuto Hayama and nodded slightly.
Although I don’t quite understand what Yushan and others said, it somehow feels like it makes sense.
"So you asked me to come here today just to communicate with me about your situation?" asked Yushan Heren.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had really become an attending physician, communicating with Mai Sakurajima about her condition.
"The main reason I invited you here this time was to verify a hypothesis of mine. Unfortunately, the result doesn't seem to be very successful." Sakurajima Mai said helplessly.
Hayama Kazuto blinked and could only feel sorry for Sakurajima Mai. Although Kato Megumi also had a low sense of presence, her experience was completely different from Sakurajima Mai.
"If there's nothing else, I'm afraid I'll have to take my leave now," Yushan Kazuto said.
Although Kazuto Yuyama felt sorry for what happened to Mai Sakurajima, he was not an expert in this area and had little idea about how to solve this problem for Mai Sakurajima.
It's impossible for Yushan Kazuto to sit in the cafe and comfort Sakurajima Mai all the time, and all he can do is just comfort her.
Sakurajima Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto and said, "Actually, the competition committee did assign a task for me to come here this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get your contact information smoothly."
Yushan Heren raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tell me about it."
"After the finals, the organizing committee will need to shoot a promotional video and hope you can appear in it." said Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "In the past, these promotional videos were shot by championship teams."
It’s not that Yushan Kazuto had no idea that he would win the championship, but before the final, the organizing committee invited him to participate in the shooting of the promotional video, and he always felt like he was chosen.
"You are the number one star player in this national competition. Even if Toyosaki fails to win the championship, you will definitely appear in the promotional video." said Sakurajima Mai.
Hayama Kazuto couldn't help but blink. To be honest, even if Toyosaki won the championship, he didn't want to shoot this promotional video.
But if he refused, the referee might trip up Toyosaki during the game. Toyosaki, who was already lacking in strength, would be in great danger if he was targeted by the referee.
"Let's talk about the promotional video after the game." Yushan Heren waved his hand and said.
Mai Sakurajima glanced at Kazuto Hayama. Although Kazuto Hayama concealed it well, she was a child star after all, so she still discovered Kazuto Hayama's true thoughts. The other party didn't want to participate in the promotional video at all.
But after all, Sakurajima Mai received a favor from Kazuto Yuyama and owed him a big favor. Even if she discovered Kazuto Yuyama's thoughts, she had no intention of reporting it to the competition committee.
But this way, there would be no room for Sakurajima Mai's other plan to be implemented.
Originally, she planned to play football with Yushan Kazuto while filming the video to see if her condition could be improved.
Hearing what Yushan Kazuto said, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but lower her eyebrows and lightly bite her red lips.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Looking at the look on Sakurajima Mai's face, it seemed that she had guessed that he didn't want to participate in the promotional video.
"I'm leaving first." Yushan Heren said angrily.
"Wait a moment..." Sakurajima Mai took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Sakurajima Mai, feeling a little uneasy, wondering what else Sakurajima Mai wanted to say.
"Do you have any training plans before the game?" Mai Sakurajima bit her lip and asked in a low voice.
"We have to go to Fengzhizaki for training every afternoon." said Yushan Kazuto.
"Can I go and take a look?" Sakurajima Mai looked up at Yushan Kazuto and blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Well." Yushan Heren couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If Mai Sakurajima regained her presence while watching herself training, wouldn't that cause a commotion?
"How about this, we'll gather at the entrance of Toyonozaki at 2:30 in the afternoon. You just stand under the cherry tree on the east side of the entrance. I'll take you to a place to watch the game. When you get there, try not to wander around." Yushan Kazuto said.
Sakurajima Mai
He looked at Yushan and people and nodded.
"If you have time, can I play football with you?"
"Well...it depends on the situation." Yushan Kazuto blinked, but the video of Sakurajima Mai playing football came to his mind.
Mai Sakurajima, who is playing football in a jersey, has an extraordinary charm.
"See you in the afternoon." Sakurajima Mai seemed relieved and stood up.
"See you in the afternoon." Yushan Heren also stood up and prepared to leave the private room.
"Your waffle." A piece of waffle was placed next to Yushan Heren's mouth.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't like waffles very much, so he left some on purpose.
However, Sakurajima Mai had already brought the waffle to her mouth, so Yushan Kazuto had no choice but to reach out and take it and put it in his mouth.
"It's a little cold, but it should taste okay." said Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly and nodded. The waffles wrapped in a layer of honey were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Although they were just a simple sweet taste, they were much more delicious than many fancy waffles.
"I should have let you taste my potato grid before." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and opened the door.
Chapter 1267: Can't I show some concern for my prospective schoolmate?
After leaving the private room, the clerk looked at Yushan Kazuto and couldn't help blinking: "Sir, where is the lady from before?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked and glanced at Sakurajima Mai beside him. He didn't expect that the other party's presence would disappear so quickly.
"She left early, don't worry." Yushan Heren could only say.
The clerk poked his head in and looked around the room. He did not see Mai Sakurajima, so he said, "Goodbye, sir. Welcome back next time."
Yushan Heren rolled his eyes. He had been to this cafe before. Shouldn't the waiter come to settle the bill at this time? Why did he just welcome him to come next time?
……
After leaving the cafe, Mai Sakurajima said, "Now you should know how serious the decline in the efficacy of the treatment is."
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help scratching his head. Why did he feel like he was gradually becoming a defective product? It was obvious that this matter had little to do with Yushan Kazuto himself!
"By the way? Why did the cafe let us leave without paying?" Yushan Kazuto blinked and changed the subject.
"There is a QR code on the corner of the table. I have scanned it and paid." said Mai Sakurajima.
After several years of development, cashless payment is still quite popular in Japanese cities, and payment by scanning QR code is not uncommon. However, for most Japanese, cash payment is still the first choice.
Of course, if you go to some non-urban areas, cash payment is likely to be the only option.
When Hayama and his group went to the Fuji Five Lakes, only the hotel accepted cashless payments, and then only credit cards.
Since Sakurajima Mai had already paid, Yushan Kazuto no longer had any concerns. After saying goodbye briefly, he walked towards the parking lot.
It was Mai Sakurajima who called him out today, and with the round trip journey, plus the more than an hour wasted in Odaiba, Kazuto Yuyama thought it was reasonable to drink a cup of coffee with her.
Driving all the way back to the apartment, Yushan Kazuto suddenly remembered the big meal he had promised to Doma. There wasn't much food in the refrigerator at home, so it was enough for a few meals, but it was a little insufficient for making a big meal.
After driving to the supermarket and doing a lot of shopping, Yushan and Renren returned home.
When I arrived home, it was already 11:30 in the morning. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Doma Mai's somewhat resentful look.
"What are you standing there for? Come and help me carry my things." Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Doma puffed up his cheeks, walked to Yushan Kazuto, took a shopping bag, and almost fell to the ground.
"You're really good at choosing. You picked the heaviest one right away." Yushan Heren couldn't help but grin.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but glare at Yushan Kazuto and picked up the shopping bag with some difficulty.
"Where did you go this morning, scumbag senior? Why did you come back so late?" asked Domama Mai while carrying a shopping bag.
"I went out for something, and then went to the supermarket." Yushan Heren said.
Apart from anything else, Yushan is quite good at Tai Chi.
Tsuchiya puffed up her cheeks slightly and used both hands to try to lift the shopping bag higher and put it into the refrigerator, but after lifting it to her chest, she could no longer move it even an inch further.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but chuckle, put down the things in his hands, picked up the shopping bag in Tsuchima's hand with one hand, and put it into the refrigerator.
"Thank you for your hard work, Umaru-chan."
Tsuchiya Mai blinked slightly, looked at the various ingredients in the refrigerator, and couldn't help but make some guesses in her mind.
"By the way, Umaru-chan, you seemed to tell me before that Rikka was returning to Tokyo today?" asked Kazuto Hayama.
"Rikka just told me that she had finished lunch and was about to go to the station," said Doma.
The main reason why Rikka Takanashi returned to her hometown was to tell her grandparents that she had fulfilled her promise. School would start soon in Tokyo, so Rikka Takanashi naturally would not stay in her hometown for too long.
"Eh, is that so?" Yushan Kazuto blinked.
"Why is the scumbag senior suddenly asking about Rikka?" Doma Mai couldn't help but snorted.
"It's nothing. Can't I just show some concern for my future junior schoolmate?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
Tsuchiya's eyes couldn't help but become a little gloomy as she stared at Yushan Kazuto.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm going to make lunch, do you want to help?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Doma Mai took a look at the ingredients in Yushan Kazuto's hand - a piece of gypsum tofu that was so tender that it could compete with water splashes, and immediately walked out of the kitchen tactfully.
If Domama was asked to help process this piece of tofu, there is no doubt that a whole piece of tofu would turn into tofu dregs after passing through Domama's hands.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He originally thought that Doma Mai was going to come to help, but she gave up and had to put the tofu on the chopping board.
Gypsum tofu is already very smooth and tender, and the one selected by Yushanheren was the smoothest one. On the way back, Yushanheren even put this piece of tofu on the passenger seat to ensure the integrity of the tofu.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yushan Kazuto was driving a Rolls-Royce today. If it was a car with worse shock absorbers, it might have been shattered directly.
This is more difficult than the job of delivering tofu at Fujiwara Tofu Shop. After all, tofu varies in types. If Fujiwara Takumi delivers this kind of tofu, it may have turned into tofu pudding by the time it reaches the customer's home.
The tofu might crack if it was jolted a little, so Yushan and Ren had to use the thinnest and sharpest kitchen knife to cut the tofu into thin slices.
Transfer to meal
Put it on a plate, pour a layer of egg liquid on it, sprinkle some freshly ground breadcrumbs on it, and pour it into the hot oil pan.
The moment it was put into the pot, the oil began to boil. Fortunately, Yushan and others were prepared and were not scalded by the hot oil.
After frying it for about twenty seconds, Yushan and others took out the tofu after it was slightly set.
A thin layer of crispy skin has formed on the surface, just wrapping the tofu. This state is perfect for making braised and fried tofu.
In fact, it’s not that it can’t be fried directly, but Yushan Heren doesn’t trust the kitchen utensils at home. The thickness of the spatula is a little too large, and it may not be able to penetrate from the bottom of the tofu to turn it over, but will instead cut the tofu in half.
By frying the surface until crispy first, you can effectively avoid the embarrassing situation of frying a bowl of bean paste.
The second dish is still related to tofu, but the tofu used is not gypsum tofu, but brine tofu.
Compared to gypsum tofu, brine tofu is firmer and no longer melts in your mouth. Instead, it has a certain chewy texture, somewhat similar to meat.
Old tofu is more suitable for stir-frying, braising and other foods. Today, Yushan Heren plans to use it to make a famous Hakka dish - stuffed tofu.
Chapter 1268: Sleepy Mamoru
Generally speaking, stuffed tofu is mostly made with fried tofu. After all, fried tofu has already been fried and shaped, and the process of hollowing out the center and adding minced meat is relatively simple.
However, Yushan Heren has always liked to challenge his limits. The previous gypsum tofu could not achieve this, but the brine tofu process can be barely completed.
Cut the tofu into even cubes, use a spoon to dig out a layer in the middle to form a small pit of moderate depth, add the minced meat and vegetables that have been seasoned, and it will look a bit like an almond candy with a raised center.
Put a grid-shaped grill in the pot and put the tofu into the pot evenly. With the help of the grill, they will not stick together. Fry on low heat for a few minutes, then add the seasoning soup, cover the pot, and simmer on medium heat for more than ten minutes.
Wait until the sauce is reduced, take out the grill, serve on a plate, and the stuffed tofu is ready.
Generally speaking, the dish is thickened before being served, but tofu can absorb a variety of flavors, so after more than ten minutes of stewing, all the flavors have been absorbed by the tofu.
After the two dishes were ready, Yushan Kazuto only needed to make a soup.
Without exception, the main ingredient of this soup is still tofu, and the method is very simple, it is just ordinary scallion tofu soup.
Cut the tofu into small cubes so that it is easy to scoop with a spoon. Heat the oil in the bottom of the pot, add the tofu, and quickly roll it around. Then pour in hot water that has been boiled to about 80 degrees.
Cover the pot, wait for the water to boil, add green onions and pepper salt, and a simple green onion and tofu soup is ready.
……
"Lunch, all tofu?" Looking at the table full of tofu feast, Doma Mai couldn't help but say.
"It's good enough that you have something to eat, but you're still so picky." Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Doma Mai blinked slightly. Although the main ingredient of the three dishes was tofu, there were still some differences.
Braised tofu looks the best in color, stuffed tofu is filled with minced meat and is the most appetizing, and scallion tofu soup is the lightest.
After a brief decision, Domama put a piece of stuffed tofu into Jiaqi's bowl. As expected, meat can best arouse Domama's appetite!
