Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 28 Homemade Noodles
Just like Fujimine Yukiko said, the government has not made any regulations, so she cannot take this path.

Even if she followed behind Lin Xiuyi and the others, the three of them would be helpless.

Kisaki Eri had a stern face all the way, and Hayashi Shuichi and Mori Kogoro were also unable to speak, so they could only walk back to the Mori family's small building in silence.

"Is this the izakaya where you work part-time?" Fujimine Yukiko took in the shop's exterior, then rubbed her stomach and said pretentiously, "I'm hungry. Since it's an izakaya, they shouldn't object to customers coming in to eat, right?"

"It's not business hours now," said Eri Kisaki with a dark face.

"Then I'll just wait outside," Fujimine Yukiko said, looking up at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain soon. I don't have an umbrella with me, but it's just a little rain. At worst, I'll catch a cold or a fever, or have to stay in the hospital for a few days. My parents are busy with work these two days, so even if I'm hospitalized, there's no one to take care of me..."

As she spoke, the girl pretended to look pitifully at Hayashi Shuichi and Mori Kogoro.

Lin Xiuyi had already witnessed her acting skills at the football field at noon, so he was calm and took out the key to open the door of the izakaya.

Maori Kogoro took the bait. He was obsessed with looks and naturally would not miss the opportunity to show his affection to his beautiful classmate.
"Fujimine-san, please come in! We are all in the same class, how can we just watch you get wet in the rain?"

"Is it okay? Lin~jun~" Yukiko Fujimine asked in a coquettish voice with her throat clamped.

Lin Xiuyi shuddered and got goosebumps all over the floor.

Maori Kogoro was so excited after hearing this that he quickly pulled his friend over and said, "Shuiichi!"

"You can come in," Lin Xiuyi sighed, "but please don't speak in that tone just now. I can't stand it."

"Hehe," Fujimine Yukiko smiled triumphantly and was about to step into the house. Kisaki Eri snorted, pushed Fujimine Yukiko away, and stepped into the izakaya first.

"Tsk..." Yukiko Fujimine curled her lips and followed closely behind.

"Fujimine-san, would you like a drink?" Maori Kogoro eagerly followed him in. "Oolong tea, cola, or juice?"

Lin Xiuyi was about to follow in when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs next to him. He walked over and saw that it was indeed Mrs. Maori, who was coughing lightly and was about to go downstairs.

"Aunt, it's going to rain soon, so please don't come down." Lin Xiuyi hurried forward to support her.

"I came down to tell you something," Mrs. Maori said with a smile, "When you were going to school earlier, the neighbors came to warn us that there have been more than ten thefts in Beika Town recently, and asked us to be careful."

"Don't worry, Auntie," Lin Xiu nodded and said, "I will bring the money from the store back to my room every night. It's not easy for them to steal the remaining tableware and electrical appliances."

"That's good. I'm confident in your ability to do things," Mrs. Maori praised, and then went upstairs back to the house with the help of Lin Xiuyi.

……

In the izakaya,

Fujimine Yukiko remembered what happened at noon and asked, "Is there any milk?"

"Yes!" Kogoro Mouri hurried to the refrigerator and took out a box of milk.

"I want something hot."

"I'll microwave it now!"

Kogoro Mouri was busy getting glasses and pouring milk. Eri Kisaki put down her schoolbag and sat there watching coldly.

"Ding!"

As the microwave's warning sounded, Maori Kogoro quickly brought out the milk and placed it in front of Fujimine Yukiko. "It's very hot, Fujimine-san, be careful not to burn yourself!"

Yukiko Fujimine blew twice on the rim of the cup, and after the milk on the surface cooled down a little, she picked up the cup and took a small sip.

Ugh... it doesn't taste good at all!
She put down the cup with some disgust.

At this time, Lin Xiuyi also walked in and told the three people in the store what Mrs. Maori had just informed them.

"There are thieves active in Beika Town recently, so everyone should be careful."

At this point, he looked at Kisaki Eri and Fujimine Yukiko,
"Especially you two girls, you are both home alone, make sure to close the doors and windows when you go to bed at night."

"I understand," Feiying responded.

"When will the izakaya open?" Fujimine Yukiko didn't care. She leaned over the table and urged, "I'm starving."

"Just wait patiently," Lin Xiuyi replied unhappily, and began to prepare the ingredients for opening the store in the evening.

Seeing this, Fujimine Yukiko sat down at the dining table in front of the kitchen, observing Lin Xiuyi preparing the ingredients and occasionally interjecting.

After a few words, Lin Xiuyi was sure that Fujimine Yukiko did not lie at noon. She could indeed cook, and her cooking skills were quite good.

The two of them started discussing cooking skills, and Kogoro Mouri joined in the fun, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Fei Yingli watched from the side with a sullen look on her face, but there was nothing she could do. Her cooking skills and academic performance were two completely different extremes. As long as the food she cooked didn't kill anyone, it was considered a success.

An hour and a half later, Lin Xiuyi was ready to open the store. According to the old rules, they had to fill their stomachs before opening the store.

The homemade mixed noodles he prepared tonight, also known as pulled noodles, were something he learned when he was on a business trip to the frontier of the motherland in his previous life.

First, add some salt to warm water and knead the dough. After kneading it into dough, let it rest for a while. Then flatten the dough and cut it into strips. Then apply oil on both sides and roll it into noodles as thick as fingers. Roll it into a mosquito coil shape, wrap it with plastic wrap, and continue to let it rest.

While the noodles are resting, stir-fry side dishes such as tomatoes, onions, beef, celery, etc. Since they will be used to mix with the noodles, you can add a little water when stir-frying the side dishes to enhance the taste.

After the side dishes are fried, they can be served.

Pull the noodles that were as thick as your fingers into thinner than chopsticks, throw them into boiling water, take them out after they are cooked, pour the fried side dishes over them, and the homemade mixed noodles are ready.

Lin Xiuyi ordered four plates of noodles in total. Both he and Maori Kogoro rinsed their noodles with cold water immediately after taking them out of the water. This way the noodles would be smoother, more chewy and not sticky.

As for the noodles of Kisaki Eri and Fujimine Yukiko, considering that both of them had unpredictable tempers today and seemed to be on their menstrual period, Hayashi Shuichi did not rinse them with cold water, but poured the side dishes directly on them.

"I've never seen this way of eating noodles before," Fujimine Yukiko asked in surprise, "Where did you learn this?"

Japan also has mixed noodles, but the method is completely different from Lin Xiuyi's.

"I learned it from a Chinese cooking book," Lin Xiuyi replied casually. "According to the book, this is a way of eating noodles in the frontier areas of China."

Maori Kogoro couldn't wait to pick up the noodles with his chopsticks and took a bite: "Hmm, these noodles are delicious, refreshing and chewy."

"It tastes great," Kisaki Eri nodded in satisfaction. "It's lighter than ramen and not as greasy."

Fujimine Yukiko looked at the two of them, and when she saw Lin Xiuyi looking at her, she thought for a moment and said, "The noodles taste great. It would be great if the side dishes could be changed."
