Chapter 281 Zeshan's Dinner
It was almost eight o'clock when Sawayama Haruno returned home.
After opening the door tiredly, he heard several familiar voices in the house and immediately guessed that it was Ayano Yui running over again.
It was really a coincidence that this guy came. I just don’t know if she had dinner.
Sawayama Haruno glanced at the big bag of beef in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then went into the house to change his shoes.
When he arrived at the living room, he saw Ayano Yui happily chatting with Miyazawa Maki.
"Ah, brother!"
Ayano Yui's eyes suddenly lit up and she waved at him enthusiastically.
"I heard you guys are going to make Sukiyaki, can I have a bite too?"
She clasped her hands in front of her and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, please, please."
"Then let's go together. I happened to buy a lot of food today."
Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.
After looking around, he did not see Ezaki Suguha in the living room, and asked curiously, "Where is Suguha?"
"In the kitchen"
Miyazawa Maki curled her lips and whispered, "She said she wanted to help too, and then she went into the kitchen."
"Yeah."
Noticing that Miyazawa Maki's eyes were somewhat resentful, Sawayama Haruno coughed lightly and said seriously: "Then I will go prepare the base of the pot first, it should be ready soon."
"Please."
Ayano Yui smiled and waved at him, as if to signal Sawayama Haruno to leave Maki to her.
I really don't know how to deal with this guy. Maki should have calmed down now, so just don't cause trouble for me at this time. Sawayama Haruno muttered a few words in his heart.
After carrying a bag full of beef and other dishes into the kitchen, he found that Ezaki Suguha was helping him make the soup for Sukiyaki hot pot.
The tall girl who heard the noise turned around subconsciously and met Sawayama Haruno's eyes.
"Thought this might save you some time."
Jiang Qizhiye smiled gently and explained softly: "It will be ready in about ten minutes."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Sawayama Haruno put the bag aside, and while the two people outside had no time to pay attention to the movement in the kitchen, he gently went up and hugged Ezaki Suguha.
"Haruno, let's go first"
Ezaki Suguha was somewhat resistant, and her face turned extremely red.
She thought that Zeshan Haruno was planning to secretly be intimate with her here, but obviously she misunderstood his intention.
Zeshan Haruno asked gently, "Are you feeling better?"
Ezaki Suguha stopped resisting instantly and leaned against the other person quietly.
After a long while, she whispered, "Maybe."
"I might have to live in your house from now on. Will that be troublesome?"
"No, it just so happens that you can accompany Maki and Salmon Maru while I'm at school." Sawayama Haruno hugged her tighter and whispered, "If you feel depressed, just tell me."
"Um"
Suguha Ezaki responded slowly.
The two of them leaned on each other and hugged each other for a while, until the small pot of soup began to boil, and then Ezaki Suguha reluctantly separated from each other.
"Almost ready."
Ezaki Suguha tidied up her messy hair and asked shyly, "Do you need my help in cutting the meat?"
"No need, I'll do it. You just need to help wash the vegetables."
As he spoke, Sawayama Haruno handed the other dishes he had bought to the other party, and he took out a whole piece of fatty beef and started to slice it with a knife.
There are many ways to cut beef rolls, and it even depends on the knife or roll cutter you use.
Of course, for ordinary families, they may just use an ordinary kitchen knife to cut it into rolls, which will not affect the taste of the beef too much.
What's more, Sawayama Haruno also has the ability of "skill improvement". With the help of this skill, his speed in cutting beef rolls is amazingly fast.
The thinness of each slice of beef roll is also within the appropriate range. Even a regular chef would not be able to find any fault with the sharp knife skills.
Although Suguha Ezaki didn't know much about cooking, she was still secretly surprised when she saw how fast Sawayama Haruno cut the meat.
"Haruno, have you ever learned to cook systematically before?"
"No."
Sawayama Haruno continued his movements without looking up and said, "I learned a little on my own because I was interested in it for a while, but I never learned it systematically, and I didn't have the time to go to a culinary academy outside to take classes."
"Yeah."
Suguha Ezaki couldn't help but look at the way he used the knife a few more times.
Amazing.
The tall girl couldn't help but admire in her heart.
After a long while, she withdrew her gaze and took the cooked soup outside.
Outside, Miyazawa Maki and Ayano Yui were already getting tired of waiting.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and none of them had eaten dinner. They had been waiting until now, and their stomachs were already filled with burning hunger.
In addition, the aroma of Sukiyaki soup wafting from the kitchen made them even more eager to try it.
Seeing that Suguha Ezaki finally came out with the soup and the pot, Maki Miyazawa couldn't help but ask first: "Is the meat ready?" "Not yet, but it should be soon. Are you hungry?"
"Just a little bit."
Miyazawa Maki cleared her throat and said with a stern face, "Since you're not well yet, wait a little longer."
"Maki-sister's stomach has been growling for quite a while, right?"
Ayano Yui ruthlessly exposed her embarrassing situation.
Angry and embarrassed, Maki Miyazawa quickly rushed forward to tickle the other person.
Looking at the two people playing and fighting in the living room, Ezaki Suguha felt more relaxed.
She had never experienced such a lively atmosphere before, but she thought it didn't feel bad.
When she lived in Denenchofu before, she usually ate alone in her room at night. The servants in the house would never sit next to her to eat, and it was even more impossible to see such a lively scene at home.
Although it was her first time experiencing this, Suguha Ezaki felt that this kind of life was not bad.
"The beef is ready."
Sawayama Haruno's gentle voice brought her back to reality. Ezaki Suguha subconsciously looked back and saw Sawayama Haruno coming out with two plates of beef rolls.
"As for the dishes, just bring them here."
Zeshan Haruno put the plate full of beef rolls on the table and said with a smile, "There is still a large portion of beef in the kitchen. I will go in and cut it later."
"Can I eat it?"
Miyazawa Maki's heart suddenly moved.
Looking at the pink and white beef rolls that were enough to make one drool, her stomach growled again.
"Just eat first, I'll bring the other dishes over."
Seeing that Miyazawa Maki could no longer hold back, Sawayama Haruno immediately and considerately took two sterilized eggs.
After crushing it into a bowl, he handed it to Miyazawa Maki.
"Humph"
Miyazawa Maki took it and said stubbornly, "It's okay to wait a little longer. Anyway, the soup has just been put into the pot. It will take a while for it to be more flavorful."
No, there is no such saying at all.
Because the soup has been simmered for half an hour in advance, you can just pour it in and start eating it.
But this guy probably wanted to wait for him to eat together, so Sawayama Haruno did not choose to ruin his plan. Instead, he went back to the kitchen and quickly cut two more plates of beef rolls before serving them out to everyone to eat together.
At the dining table, everyone sat together according to their seats.
Although Miyazawa Maki still seemed a little hesitant, she finally sat in the seat closest to Sawayama Haruno.
Looking at the Sukiyaki pot with bubbles rolling and boiling in the middle of the table, they all raised their hands and put them together.
"I'm starting!" everyone said in unison.
It seems like it is a necessary procedure, and you can start eating officially after completing it.
Maki Miyazawa picked up a large piece of beef roll without hesitation and put it into the pot impatiently.
Sawayama Haruno was sweating profusely as he watched.
Can't this guy just take one slice at a time? He stacks so many slices together and cooks them. Isn't he afraid of causing indigestion after eating them?
But there doesn't seem to be such a saying in the island country. It only exists in the area in his previous life.
"so good."
Ayano Yui sat at the bottom of the dining table, threw a piece of fried seaweed into her mouth, and said with a smile: "Now that the weather is getting colder, it's just right for eating Sukiyaki."
"It would be even better if there was bread," she added.
“Is there any connection between Sukiyaki and bread?”
Suguha Ezaki looked over curiously.
"No." Ayano Yui shrugged and smiled without any psychological burden. "I just want to try soaking the baguette in the Sukiyaki pot to see if it will taste better after it becomes soft."
Please don't do this.
Sawayama Haruno had the urge to cover his face.
Why is the other party still thinking about baguettes at this time?
And no one would dip that kind of bread into Sukiyaki and eat it with the soup, right?
"Hey, is there any other way to eat it?"
Miyazawa Maki had just picked up a large piece of beef roll, and after hearing what Ayano Yui said, she immediately showed interest.
"In that case, let's buy some bread and try it next time."
She giggled, and after she finished speaking, without paying any attention to the worried expressions of Sawayama Haruno and Ezaki Suguha, she directly stuffed the large ball of beef roll covered with egg liquid into her mouth.
"Woo."
Miyazawa Maki was soon bitten by the fat beef.
The stimulated short-haired girl subconsciously looked towards Sawayama Haruno, her tearful eyes made people feel both funny and helpless.
"Open your mouth and breathe in. The water is right next to you."
Zeshan Haruno sighed and said helplessly: "Who told you to eat so hastily?"
"You're so long-winded."
Miyazawa Maki swallowed the beef roll with great effort and said vaguely, "I don't want you to care."
