Kazuya looked back at them and asked: "Are you hungry?"
Ayaka and Chika nodded vigorously together. The smell of meat in this room was so appetizing that they wanted to eat even if they were not hungry. He was quite understanding, so he said "wait" and turned to get the flour.
Haruka wrapped her head with a cloth to prevent her long hair from getting into the soup. She was stirring it with a long spoon and dropped in vinegar in batches according to Kazuya's instructions, so that the calcium and phosphorus substances in the bones could be dissolved into the soup as quickly as possible. Her little face was flushed by the heat.
She glanced at him and whispered in a low voice: "This is not the time to waste money..."
Kazuya interrupted her: "I know. I'm just making some snacks for them." Personally, he liked this lively family atmosphere and has really entered the role now. He felt like he had become the head of the family.
Haruka didn't say anything anymore. Her mood was complicated now, especially when he spoke in this tone. There was always a feeling that they were very close.
She wiped her hands, turned around and asked Toutaro to go to the public activity room to draw and play by himself, and then ordered Chika and Ayaka to clean the lobby. They didn't want to do it but became obedient after being slapped twice by Haruka.
Kazuya was going to make pearl soup, commonly known as gnocchi soup. However, as "a generation of famous chef", he naturally has to be more particular. To put it bluntly, improving cooking is just like stabbing a layer of window paper. If you can pierce it, you will cook delicious dishes. If you can't pierce it, it will be only worthy of feeding pigs.
He picked half-wheat flour and high-gluten flour and mixed them into with water in proportion. He also added stock, fine salt and egg white to make them. Then he used a sieve to carefully sift out the gnocchi to make sure them chewy with a rounder texture. When the dough was rolled in boiling water, each one was plump and shiny, indeed like a round and shiny pearl.
The chicken soup was ready-made, so Kazuya poured another spoonful of it to make it fresh, and then sprinkled it with diced ham, diced winter melon and shredded bamboo fungus. This pot of pearl soup is ready.
It was a very simple snack, but he was not sure whether it suited Japanese tastes, so he took a spoonful and brought it to Haruka's mouth, "Try how it tastes."
Haruka glanced at him and then at the spoon. The dough balls as big as the pearl looked a bit crystal clear, and just looking at them made her feel comfortable. She was actually very tacky and liked those beautiful little things.
After watching it for a while, she blew lightly and took a sip. She immediately felt that her mouth was full of freshness and the gnocchi was very chewy. When she took a bite, the soup spilled out, making it even more fresh.
Haruka just chewed it a few times and couldn't help but swallow it. Not only her stomach, but also her heart felt warm. She stood there with her head lowered and stopped moving. She wanted to say its taste averge, but she couldn't say this because it's really delicious!
This guy was so amazing. Can he really be a good cook by cutting radishes? This is unreasonable!
"Does it taste bad?" Kazuya was slightly surprised when he saw no reaction from Haruka. He also tasted it and found that the taste was smooth but salty and chewy, so it could be considered top quality.
This was considered a traditional delicacy from his hometown. He was inexplicably aroused with a sense of homesickness after eating it. He suddenly felt sad and lowered his head, standing there with Haruka as if to express condolences to each other.
Haruka raised her head and glanced at him. She was shocked. Is this guy so glass-hearted. Would he be upset if she didn't say it was delicious?
She raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment and said reluctantly: "It's... not bad. I think the taste is pretty good."
Kazuya also came to his senses and shook his head: "As long as it tastes delicious!"
This crazy cooking skill will cause trouble! He turned to turn off the fire, and called other people to come over to drink soup. At the same time, he asked: "Sakura, can you borrow a food thermos?"
She squatted down and looked for them from the cabinet, "You are thoughtful. We shoulld send Akiho a bowl." It's quite delicious, Akiho must like it.
Kazuya was stunned for a moment and said: "Then find two thermos!" He was not thinking of Akiho.
Haruka didn't stop and asked strangely: "Who else could you send it to?"
"My sister." Kazuya replied, fearing that Haruka would be stingy, he quickly added, "It's considered a takeaway. The cost can be deducted from my wages."
Haruka rummaged through and found two thermos, stuffed them directly into the sterilizer for sterilization. She frowned and said, "I'm not that stingy. If it's your sister, it's my treat!"
Kazuya also raised his eyebrows. If you are not stingy, who is? You are someone who can't bear to buy a bottle of drink even if everyone is going to die from the sun. However, he smiled against his will, "Thank you."
He was so tired from going through the experience these days that he didn't even say a few words to Yoko when he went home at night. He fell asleep after taking a bath in the evening and got up to go to school in the morning. He was afraid that she would feel left out, so he was thinking about making something delicious to share her.
Haruna and the others had already run over,. They looked at the bowls of gnocchi soup served by Kazuya with disappointment. One of them protested: "Don't you say we can eat meat? Though the appearance is quite good-looking, it's vegetarian! We have eaten vegetables for four days!
Haruna's eyes turned to the pot of broth simmering on the fire, where a big bone was rolling on the surface of the soup.
Kazuya was very generous and didn't care about these two little ones. He smiled, "As long as it's delicious, it doesn't matter if it's meat!" He was busy filling it into the thermos, otherwise it would be gone later. If Haruna was addicted to eating, she would even eat the pot.
Haruka yelled angrily, "You can eat whatever you are given. Don't pick." Then she filled a bowl and went to the public room to feed Toutaro. She was both a sister and a mother.
Ayaka and Chika exchanged glances. Ayaka scooped up a spoonful, blew on it and took a sip. Her eyes suddenly lit up. It was delicious! They had the same mind and instantly judged the capacity of the two thermos, the number of people here, and recalled the second sister's appetite and her special oversized bowl. Without hesitation, Chika kicked Haruna and then shouted: "Second sister, you hit me last time. I want to settle it with you today!"
Haruna was drooling as she looked at the big bones in the soup stock. She was unprepared and her butt was kicked so hard by her. She instinctively grabbed at Chika angrily, "You sneak attack me again!"
Chika ducked under the table as soon as she was short. She was very flexible, jumping between tables and chairs, climbing up and down, and started playing hide-and-seek with Haruna.
Ayaka drank a bowl of soup and rushed to help, : "Chika, you bastard. How can you treat the second sister like that!" She was small and agile, so she rushed directly under the table to catch Chika. But they were very struggling together and rolling around. As soon as one of them shouted, "Second sister, I've caught her for you. Come and spank her."
Haruna was really angry. She usually disliked these two naughty sisters. She didn't care how they performed and went directly to catch the one who was pushed out, who kept screaming: "Second sister, I'm helping you" and started to run away.
Haruna debated for a moment, but couldn't tell which one had kicked her. But she decided to beat them up today. However, they two were as slippery as loaches and ran away in different directions. After a while, someone quietly ran into the kitchen and drank the soup again.
Kazuya looked at her, and then at the one who was tricking Haruna around in the lobby. He also couldn't tell who was who and asked hesitantly: "Are you Chika?"
Are these two little girls taking turns to trick Haruna and drinking soup?
