The leisurely life in Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 13 Eating Sukiyaki to Celebrate ([-])

Xiaoxin quickly put on his pants and came in front of Yuichi Kawakami.

Yuichi Kawakami asked curiously: "Xiaoxin, why are you at home alone? Where did mom go?"

"She took Xiaokui to the supermarket to buy something."

"So that's the case, then do you know when she will come back?" Yuichi Kawakami suddenly realized, and then asked again.

Xiaoxin turned his head and glanced at the wall clock in the living room, and replied:

"I think there should be another hour before she comes back. Brother Kawakami, what do you want from my mother?"

"It's like this. My brother's manga has successfully signed a contract. To celebrate this, I decided to hold a sukiyaki party tonight. The purpose of coming here is to invite your family to the party." Yuichi Kawakami replied patiently .

"Wow, invite us to eat sukiyaki, brother Kawakami, you have good thighs." Hearing that you can eat sukiyaki tonight, Xiaoxin immediately flattered Yuichi Kawakami.

"What you want to say should be generosity. Since your mother is not at home now, I will go back first. The sukiyaki party will start at eight o'clock tonight. Don't forget to tell your mother later."

After Yuichi Kawakami corrected Xiaoxin's mistakes, he planned to leave, but at the end of the sentence, he gave a disturbing reminder, fearing that Xiaoxin would forget.

"Don't worry, I will never forget."

As Xiaoxin spoke, he extended his hand to Yuichi Kawakami as a military salute, showing his determination to remember.

......

Soon it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the Nohara family rang the doorbell of Yu Kawakami's family.

ding dong~

"Here you are, everyone is welcome to the sukiyaki party I'm holding, please come in quickly." After Kawakami Yuichi opened the door, he greeted everyone very warmly.

Hiroshi Nohara handed a gift bag in his hand to Yuichi Kawakami, and congratulated: "We have all heard what Xiaoxin said. Congratulations to Mr. Kawakami. The work has been successfully signed. This is a congratulatory gift we prepared. Please Take it."

Kawakami Yuichi stretched out his hand to take the gift bag and said:

"Thank you for your congratulatory gifts, don't stand outside, come in quickly, I have already prepared the sukiyaki, and I am waiting for your arrival."

Then Yuichi Kawakami led everyone all the way to the living room.

Looking at the sukiyaki ingredients on the table, Mizu Nohara couldn't help but say:

"It's really rich."

Kawakami Yu said, "It's okay. Don't stand here, everyone, sit down somewhere. My stomach is already growling with hunger."

"Me too." After Xiaoxin replied, he was the first to leave and found a seat to sit down.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone found their seats and sat down.

Seeing that the staff were already in place, Yuichi Kawakami, who was the host, started to make sukiyaki.

First, turn on the fire of the stove, adjust it to medium-low heat, and heat the pot.

Then use chopsticks to hold a piece of yellow butter, and spread a full layer of butter in the hot pan.

Then I picked up the thinly sliced ​​Matsusaka beef from the meat plate. The meat of this beef is bright red and uniform, shiny, thin and tight, elastic, slightly dry on the outside, not sticky to the hand, fresh in smell, and has no other peculiar smell .

After putting the beef one by one into the pot and laying it out, add a few spoonfuls of sugar with a spoon.

Then pick up the soy sauce and wine (note: this is not mirin, let alone Chinese cooking wine, but seasoning wine for Japanese cuisine) and pour it on the beef.

Turn the beef slightly with chopsticks, wait until the surface color turns golden yellow, then place it in a fan shape, and then place the shallots, baked tofu, very fine konjac, shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms in a certain angle. sector.

Finally, Yuichi Kawakami added a pinch of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum in the middle, and closed the lid.

During the series of smooth operations performed by Yuichi Kawakami, Xiaoxin and the others were all watching very intently without making any sound.

"Then just wait for 3 minutes, and take advantage of this time, let's beat the eggs." Yuichi Kawakami suggested to everyone after telling how long the sukiyaki was ready.

"it is good!"

After Xiaoxin and the others responded, they picked up the native eggs on the table and smashed their shells.Carefully pour the egg whites and yolks into the bowl.Then pick up the chopsticks and stir eight or nine times.

3 minutes passed quickly, when Yuichi Kawakami took a rag and carefully removed the lid, a seductive aroma spread around, arousing the slander in everyone's stomach , all swallowed involuntarily.

"Wait in a hurry, let's move our chopsticks." Kawakami Yuichi said to everyone.

"I'm starting." After saying a word, Xiaoxin and the others began to eat delicious sukiyaki.

"Well, it's really delicious, even better than my mother's." Xiaoxin said happily.

"Yeah, although I really don't want to admit it, Xiaoxin, what you said this time is indeed right. Mr. Kawakami's cooking skills are really good." Nohara Mizu chewed the beef in her mouth, swallowed it, and then Agreedly said.

"Ahem, where, you're flattering yourself." Yuichi Kawakami responded modestly.

"Everyone, the purpose of today's party is to celebrate Mr. Kawakami's successful signing.

When it comes to celebrating, how can we clink our glasses without clinking glasses?Come on, let's raise our glasses and have a drink. "Nohara Hiroshi raised his wine glass and suggested to everyone.

"That's right." Mizu Nohara also raised her glass.

Xiaoxin then raised his glass of juice, and Xiaokui raised the bottle in her hand.

"Thank you." Kawakami Yuichi also raised the wine glass in his hand.

"cheers!"

"Yeah~" Xiaokui said.

boom!After the glasses collided, everyone drank in one gulp.

"Mr. Kawakami, when will your work be published?" Mizu Nohara asked after putting down her cup.

"The time is set for next Saturday. Before that, the publishing house will carry out vigorous publicity and warm up." Kawakami Yuichi replied.

Mizu Nohara said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that Mr. Kawakami's works are highly valued."

"Yes. The president of Shogakukan Animation Publishing House is very courageous and takes good care of me." Yuichi Kawakami replied.

Miya Nohara nodded, and then planned to eat the beef in the pot, but found that it was gone.

She immediately looked at Xiaoxin, and sure enough, she found that Xiaoxin was putting the last piece of meat into her mouth, and the corners of her mouth were full of oil stains.

"Xiaoxin, you brat, you secretly ate up all the meat while we were chatting, not even a single piece of meat was left behind." Acoustics taught.

Yuichi Kawakami came out to smooth things over and said, "Mrs. Nohara, don't get excited, I still have a lot of meat to prepare, and I put them in the refrigerator to ensure freshness.

But Xiaoxin, you too, you can't just eat meat, but also eat more vegetables, so that the nutrition can be balanced. "

After Kawakami Yuichi finished speaking, he went to the refrigerator to get the meat.

"Understood." The rescued Xiaoxin immediately responded.

The gathering lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Through this party, the relationship between Yuichi Kawakami and the Nohara family became deeper.
