The Taste What Mom Did

Haruna mixed it with chopsticks, then ate a big bite. She was stunned, holding the bowl.

Haruka looked at Kazuya, then at her sister, and asked with some expectancy: "How does it taste?" She hoped that he would be good at cooking so that her family's store could continue to operate.

Haruna didn't answer. She raised her head and had two lines of clear tears on her beautiful face. She just shed tears silently for a while, then suddenly cried.

Haruka was shocked and quickly went to grab her bowl, "What's going on? Is it too spicy?"

Haruna held the bowl in her arms and choked with sobs: "It tastes like what mom did. I miss mom, sister. Don't stop me, let me finish it!" 

After saying that, she lowered her head and started to have the rice, crying as she did so. "I miss mom, I miss mom. Woo woo..." She haD been feeling really sad these days. When she thought of her mother, she couldn't stop crying.

Haruka was pushed aside by her. Looking at her tearful sister, she fell into deep confusion. Is this delicious or unpleasant?

Kazuya handed a bowl of rice in front of her and said with a smile: "You want to try it too?" He didn't expect Haruna to cry because of this bowl of rice. May be she was originally in a bad mood these days.

Haruka took the bowl with suspicion. She looked left and right but couldn't tell from the appearance that it was any different from what she had eaten before. Finally, she mixed it lightly and took a chopstick into her mouth. She felt that it was full of fragrance and fresh. 

There is no doubt that wasabi is slightly pungent and makes the nose sour, but it has that kind of refreshing sourness that seems to dispel the heat of the hot summer in an instant. More importantly, it is indeed the taste of mother. Just eat it After eating such a meal, she thought of her mother's tenderness, her kind smile and her sincere words.

Haruka couldn't help but burst into tears. She quickly lowered her head, wiped her tears and whispered, "It's so spicy that it chokes my nose. The taste is just average!"

She said nothing but took the initiative to add rice three times and ate them all. In the end, she stood in front of Kazuya with tears in her eyes and a red nose. Those who didn't know who thought Kazuya has passed away and she is attending his memorial service to pay her last respects.

Haruna kept eating and sniffing, with tears in her eyes, unable to stop at all. She now had mixed feelings in her heart. She was a little sad thinking about the happy days when her mother was here, but the wasabi bibimbap tasted so good that after one bowl, she wanted to eat a second bowl. She even felt like a heart-pounding feeling.

Kazuya also tasted a bowl himself, but he couldn't taste the taste of his mother. The spicy smell of wasabi rushed straight into his nose and his eyes suddenly became blurred with tears. But soon the irritation passed, leaving only the refreshing feeling like being invigorated by the cool spring water. The fragrance lingered on the lips and teeth and made the tip of the tongue taste sweet. Then there was an excitement in my heart and he suddenly felt that he was inexplicably excited.

He opened the attribute panel and found that he had been given a buff [Inspiration], which increased all attributes by 10% and lasted for 10 minutes.

He carefully studied the expressions of Haruka and Haruna and found that they were both immersed in missing their mother. It was hard to tell whether they had been given any strange BUFF. But he looked at it for a few times and then let it go. It didn't matter whether it had a buff or not, as long as the food tasted good.

Thewasabi bibimbap was very successful. Even a person like him who is not very greedy wanted to eat a second bowl. It is enough to deal with the diners, and the rest problem is how to make them pay money happily.

But don't worry, according to Haruka's temperament, as long as the diners are willing to pay for the meals, she can plucking their money away like plucking fat sheep's wool.

He opened the skill list again and looked at the introduction of the two new skills under [Cooking LV 9]:

[Blessing of the Cooking God]: The act of diligently honing your cooking skills is favored by the Cooking God. There is a high probability that the quality of the ingredients used in cooking will automatically increase by one level. After the cooking is completed, there is a low probability that the dish will increase by another level.

[Emotion Convey]: The essence of the dishes is to stimulate the emotions of the eater. The dishes made with this skill have a high probability of arousing the hidden emotions deep in the eater's heart, or making the eater directly feel pleasure, and make these this kind of emotion have a small probability of being converted into a buff.

Kazuya took a few glances and closed the skill list. He personally thought that these two available skills are far beyond his expectations. Although this kind of giving buff behavior is a bit inexplicable, it's enough to be able to cook delicious and fragrant dishes. He didn't know what LV 10 will give. Is it to synthesize magic bread out of thin air or to transform into the superman when someone eats the dishes?

He thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. If that was the case, he wouldn't dare to use this skill. That would be the same as not having it at all!

He walked around in circles and experienced what it felt like to be buffed. After a while, he felt that it seemed okay. It's normal to feel happy after eating. If it were put into the game, this increase of about 10% would probably be just an auxiliary effect that is stronger than not.

He thought about how to run Pure Flavor House to achieve the best results based on the current situation. After deciding, he greeted Haruka and Haruna: "Come out with me to buy some things and prepare to continue business tomorrow."

Haruna was scraping the bottom of the pot. When she heard the sound, she raised her head, with tears on her face but a very courageous expression: "Okay, we must reopen the store! We will do it even if we die!"

Kazuya couldn't help but take a closer look at her. What kind of buff did this girl get? Brave or fight to the death? If he was punched by her now, would he be seriously injured and sent to the hospital with a knowing blow?

But this thing couldn't be seen with the naked eye and he couldn't check her attribute panel. He gave it up, turned to Haruka and told her: "Bring more money. We need to buy a lot of things." Now that his pockets were cleaner than his face, he could only ask her for money.

Haruka hadn't recovered yet, standing there in sadness. She has the best relationship with her mother in this family and spent more time together. Thinking of her mother made her even more uncomfortable. After listening to his instructions, she was rarely silent but turned around to get the money. She really took all the family's money with her.

Soon the three of them left the store. After walking for a while under the bright sun, she advised: "I think we can change the izakaya into a restaurant. The main dish will be wasabi bibimbap from now on. It will definitely be popular."

Kazuya looked at her and objected: "There are too few people who like to eat that. Let's run a full-service store as before!"

Haruka acquiesced but decided to add wasabi bibimbap to the menu. But Haruna said a little strangely: "We are going the wrong way. The market is not this way."

She was the strongest in her family and responsible for the ingredients. She went to the market every time when goods were purchased, so she knew the way very well.

Kazuya smiled: "You're right, but we are going to the market in Chinatown. It's a bit far. I'll leave it to you to move things later, Haruna!"

He was going to buy a lot of bits and pieces of various things. There are many types but few pieces, and it was estimated that they cannot be all bought in one shop, so the store may not be willing to deliver them to the Sakura's shop.
