Chapter 124: Akalin County
Why is it impossible to have sea bream sushi?
Because, without any prefix words indicating that this is cooked fish, sea bream sushi defaults to sashimi sushi.
After several hours of being sealed at room temperature, there is a possibility that raw fish will go bad.
Therefore, it is impossible to put it in a bento. This includes fresh tofu, hot spring eggs and other foods.
In addition, since Japanese people are accustomed to eating bentos cold, the dishes in the bento must also be of a variety that is delicious even if it is cold.
Since most people’s lunchboxes are made by their mothers, elementary schools even distribute special bento-making manuals.
It includes how to select non-perishable vegetables, how to remove moisture from vegetable leaves, and other lunch-making skills and some nutritional knowledge.
Most people will show this manual to their mothers.
But Erina's situation is rather special.
When the elementary school teacher distributed this manual, he didn't even give it to Erina. Instead, he only gave Yoshiyuki a copy and asked him to study it on his own. If he didn't understand anything, he could ask Erina's mother.
Thinking about this now, Yi Xing still can't laugh or cry.
But what made him laugh or cry the most at the moment was that Erina had completely given up thinking.
At the same time, she also lied about it, saying that even if she didn't guess anyone, she would still do it when she asked Yi Xing to feed him.
"Yes, miss."
Yi Xing had no choice but to compromise.
Of course, this helplessness is just because of Erina's cheating.
In fact, there is nothing to be unwilling to do.
After all, feeding the eldest lady is something he enjoys very much.
Even Yi Xing would expect the eldest lady to eat by herself every meal, and suddenly complained that it was tiring to hold chopsticks and asked him to feed her.
"Oh...!" Erina took a bite of the stewed beef in the lunch box, and her expression became quite surprised: "Today's stewed beef tastes a bit special! What did you add to it, my servant?"
"Yoghurt." Yi Xing replied: "I added yogurt."
"No wonder. I said it tasted sour, so I thought it was broken." Erina's tone was a little disappointing for a moment: "I thought Yoshiyuki deliberately put some strange medicine in it sent by someone."
"There is no such thing!"
Yoshiyuki hurriedly yelled like this, and the appearance of Maekawa Kazuhiro suddenly appeared in his mind.
He suddenly wanted to know if Master sneezed in his hometown.
The eldest lady's reaction was not unexpected.
She really knew what was in that medicine gourd.
This made Yoshiyuki feel more and more ashamed, and at the same time he once again thanked his master for taking care of his self-esteem.
Erina has always been selectively acting stupid.
This avoids many overly embarrassing situations.
I may have to hide the medicine gourd somewhere where the eldest lady can't find it... Yi Xing felt a little uneasy when he thought of this: otherwise it would be bad if she secretly drugged him.
You can only take one pill at a time. If the dose is too large, it is possible that you accidentally flush it in the toilet and die.
If this kind of thing really happened, he would leave a mark in the history of the Yida family - Maekawa died the stupidest death in history.
Today's lunch is as rich as ever.
The rice is sprinkled with nori and shredded pickled plums.
The main dish is a new French dish Yi Xing tried - beef stew with yogurt.
The side dishes, in addition to the lettuce leaves and perilla leaves used to separate the bento, include a boiled egg cut in half, a piece of grilled eel, a croquette, two large chopsticks of cold bean curd, a piece of tomato, and two
Stewed pumpkin and a ball of kelp shreds.
Among them, white rice, yogurt stewed beef, grilled eel, boiled eggs and stewed pumpkin were freshly made this morning.
Everything else is prepared in advance and placed in a crisper box in the refrigerator.
This is what Japanese housewives do, otherwise it would be too late to make it fresh every morning.
Including the stewed pumpkin that Yi Xing made this morning, he also made a pot and saved the excess.
He was a little worried at first whether the new dishes would suit their taste.
But after seeing the mother and daughter eating so happily, Yi Xing felt at ease and began to eat the dishes. He gave the delicious dishes in his box to the eldest lady who had a strong appetite and Mensheng quickly used "
Hime from "Lunch Box Disappearance Technique".
It was obvious what Erina liked to eat. She was very fond of the beef stew with yogurt that she had never tasted before, so Yoshiyuki gave her most of the beef in his lunch box.
"There's no need to give me so much. It's not like I don't have anything."
"It's okay, miss. Just eat more if you like."
In the past, he only had to take care of the eldest lady, but now that he has a daughter, of course he has to take care of her.
Xiaoji didn't speak, so he couldn't tell what she liked, so after Yoshiyuki got up and came to her, he could only do what he wanted.
After realizing that her father seemed to want to give her some more food, Xiao Ji shook her head, put the lunch box on her lap, and held up two small palms in front of her.
Then, she picked up the notebook and quickly wrote "Thank you, dad, no need to give it to me", then held it up and showed it to Yi Xing.
At that moment, she burped.
The small, extremely weak hiccups became extremely cute because of her cute and clear loli voice.
"Oh~ Hime-chan is so cute!" Erina's heart suddenly surged. She hugged Hime with chopsticks and almost knocked over the bento: "I really want to eat the little demon sword too!"
Xiao Ji was caught off guard when her mother suddenly hugged her.
So, he burped again.
Yi Xing looked at this scene with satisfaction and felt extremely good.
Of course, his hands were not idle either, so he immediately took out the thermos bottle and handed it over.
"Eat slowly, don't choke. Drink tea smoothly, it's all cold."
"Oh! The servant is so considerate! Just let me pour tea for Xiao Ji!"
"Miss, it will be a big help if you let her go! Look at the child choking!"
Of course, the three of them would not be silent while eating. They soon thought about meeting their parents again, and then talked about Saga, where they were going to open a B&B.
Of course, there were actually only two people talking. But they would ask Xiaoji what she thought from time to time to avoid neglecting their daughter.
In order to allow her to participate in the interaction more easily and not break the flow of the conversation, the two of them mostly asked questions where they could express their thoughts by nodding and shaking their heads.
However, the more they talked, the clearer it became...
Body language has its limits after all.
For example, when the three of them talked about the question "What is the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Saga?", Xiaoji had to write an answer.
Saga Prefecture is located in the northwest of Kyushu Island, Japan.
It is an agricultural prefecture and one of the most rural places in Japan.
Its lack of presence is almost the same as that of Miyazaki Prefecture. On the one hand, the residents of these two prefectures feel a sense of sympathy for each other as brothers in need, but on the other hand, they often argue about whose hometown is the most boring and Akari in Japan.
