Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

Minos strolled leisurely in the living room, glanced at the Little Evil God and Lukoya, and asked casually, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"I'm going to play pinball and watch the horse races."

The little evil god who was washing pots in the open kitchen answered like an uncle.

"I'm going to hang out with my friends and then go for a walk around." Lukoya held up her plump upper body, thought for a moment, and then continued.

"Well……"

Minos thought about it and decided to walk around and take a good look at the human world.

Chapter 141 Lily Ling’s family!

The engine was humming, the car window was half open, and the warm summer breeze, carrying the sunlight, poured in.

On Saturday morning, around eight o'clock, the streets were far less busy than usual.

The traffic lights changed colors lazily.

The sunlight cut obliquely through the buildings, casting geometric spots of light on the windshield.

"..."

Lu Ping'an was wearing the couple's outfit he bought last week, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and waiting for the traffic light quite leisurely.

He glanced at the car navigation and saw that they were almost at the shrine of Yurisuzu's family.

"Lily Ling, we're almost to your house, and I'm starting to get nervous too. What should I do?"

Lu Ping'an smiled and turned to look at Lily Ling in the passenger seat.

It was a rare occasion today that she wasn't wearing an eye mask. Her long reddish-brown hair fell like a waterfall, sheening like silk in the morning light shining through the windshield.

The delicate face was half hidden in the hair, the long eyelashes were slightly drooping, one hand was gently placed on the flat belly, and the other hand was lazily supporting the side of the face. The whole person exuded a leisurely and charming aura.

Hearing this, her beautiful reddish-brown eyes swept towards Lu Ping'an, and Lily Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "I don't see that Ping'an Jun is nervous."

"Actually, the heart is beating very fast. If you don't believe me, feel it and see for yourself."

Lu Pingan spoke without hesitation.

"Really? I really don't believe it."

Lily Ling really came over, stretched out her slender hand and felt Lu Ping'an's chest, then pinched his pectoral muscles as if in revenge:

"It's really a lie, it's not fast at all!"

The numbers on the traffic light were slowly counting down, turning from red to green.

Lu Pingan released the brake, stepped on the accelerator, and said without embarrassment: "It was quite fast just now, but when you reached out your hand, I magically calmed down."

"Really? I actually have the ability to 'force calmness'?"

Lily Ling entwined a strand of reddish-brown hair between her fingertips, a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"I believe the Little Evil God also deeply understands this."

Lu Pingan said jokingly.

Lily Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes at him when she heard that.

At this time, the little evil god, with a bulging wallet hanging around his neck, excitedly came to a game hall called "Life Theater".

"The fortune-teller said I'd make a fortune today. I'm going to win back all my losses with interest!"

"Awesome!"

The little evil god waved his fists, his eyes flashing with excitement, and wriggling his snake tail, he quickly entered the "Theater of Life".

Change your life now!

……

Lu Ping'an drove and soon arrived at the shrine of Lily Ling's family. Under Lily Ling's guidance, he came to the parking lot of the shrine and parked the car.

The two got off the car——

Lily Ling took down a bouquet of carnations from the back seat. It was for her mother, who loved flowers very much.

Lu Ping'an came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a fruit basket and some wine prepared for her father and grandfather.

"Hanazu Inari Shrine..."

Walking to the entrance of the shrine, Lu Ping'an glanced at the name of the shrine carved on the stone pillar at the entrance, and then looked inside through a vermilion torii gate——

The main approach to the temple stretched straight into the depths.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the stone road, and the stone lanterns on both sides stand silently.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the faint scent of incense sticks mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees.

About a hundred meters away, you can see the outline of the worship hall, with the eaves slightly upturned, outlining a solemn arc.

Several stone foxes squat on both sides of the approach, some holding rice ears in their mouths, some holding scrolls under their paws, their eyes bright, like silent guardians.

"Your shrine is quite large."

Lu Ping'an had a bit of surprise on his face. He turned his head to look at Bai Liling and said jokingly, "And it's in this area. I didn't expect you to be a wealthy woman."

"It's just a small or medium-sized shrine..."

Lily Ling held a carnation in her arms and waved her hand modestly, saying, "I'm not a rich woman. I'm actually quite poor. I'm still working for you."

"Let's go."

After saying hello, Lily Ling started walking lightly towards the inside of the shrine.

Lu Ping'an followed with fruits and wine.

The shrine of Yurisuzu's family has quite a lot of traffic. It may also be because it is a weekend, so many people come to worship at this time.

They probably met some neighbors on the way. Someone greeted Baiheling with a smile, then looked at Lu Ping'an with surprise and curiosity, and asked Baiheling if she had brought her boyfriend back - the two of them were wearing couple outfits, one holding flowers and the other carrying a gift. At first glance, it looked like they were bringing their boyfriends home.

There was nothing to hide, Lily Ling admitted it openly. Lu Pingan stood behind her, smiling and nodding at these unfamiliar aunties as a greeting.

Afterwards, he was taken to the community affairs office next to the worship hall.

This place accepts various prayer requests and sells amulets, magic-breaking arrows, ema, etc. - it is also a place for clergy and shrine maidens to rest - the Yurisuzu family usually lives here.

Lu Ping'an was taken to the reception room of the social affairs office.

Lily Ling asked him to sit down at a low table, put down the carnations, took out her cell phone from the bag slung across her body, and sent a message in her group chat saying "I have brought my boyfriend back".

After a while, a hurried sound of footsteps came from afar.

A young woman wearing a shrine maiden's costume and with long brown hair, who looked somewhat similar to Yuri Suzu but more mature than her, came into the reception room.

"Oka-san!"

Lily Ling saw the person coming and immediately stood up and handed over the carnations on the low table, smiling and saying, "These are the carnations that Ping An-kun bought for you."

"You kid, you're such a spendthrift!" Mrs. Huayuan happily took the bouquet, her eyes passing over Lily Bell to look at Lu Ping'an who stood up behind her. Her eyes lit up slightly and she showed an interested expression.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Lily Ling's boyfriend, Lu Ping'an."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Lu Ping'an placed his hands in front of him and bowed slightly, then introduced himself to his mother-in-law in a graceful and elegant manner.

"Hello, I'm Yuri Suzu's mother, Garden Leaf."

Huayuan Ye returned the greeting and smiled gently, "Ping An Jun...um, can I call you that?"

"Of course." Lu Pingan replied quickly.

"What a good kid."

Hua Yuanye held the carnation in her arms, raised her hand and gently covered her red lips, revealing an expression of 'the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is', and said with a smile:

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll go to the kitchen."

"I just made some tea and some Japanese sweets this morning. You can try them later to see if they suit your taste."

"Let me get it for you." Lu Ping'an said diligently.

"No need, you and Lily Ling can sit here." Hua Yuanye waved his hand and said, "The child's father and grandfather are on their way."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

A handsome uncle dressed in clergyman's attire and an old man also dressed in clergyman's attire came into the reception room.

Chapter 142 Lu Ping'an's wish!

Yurisuzu's father is Toshio Hanazono and her grandfather's name is Kentaro Hanazono. Both of them are cheerful and talkative people.

They didn't have the picky attitude of their fathers and grandfathers when it came to their sons-in-law and grandsons-in-law, which made Lu Ping'an breathe a sigh of relief.

Grandpa Kentaro asked Lu Ping'an about some of the situations in his original world - he knew that Lu Ping'an was summoned by Lily Bell's familiar.

In fact, Lu Ping'an's identity certificate was obtained by someone he had connected with.

Lu Pingan also answered one by one.

When they learned that he had no relatives in that world and had no attachment to his original world, Kentaro Hanazono and Toshio Hanazono comforted him with their words and felt more satisfied in their hearts.

It’s better to have no worries!

They were afraid that Lu Ping'an would be able to go back one day and never come back, or that he would not be able to come back because of some problems - if he could stay in this world peacefully, that would be the best.

Soon, Hua Yuan Ye, who had left temporarily, returned to the reception room with a tray.

On the tray was a pot of tea, some teacups, and a plate of tri-colored dumplings drizzled with honey and sprinkled with chopped nuts.

"Mr. Ping'an, come and try it and see if it suits your taste." Huayuan Ye placed the three-color dumplings in front of Lu Ping'an and greeted him warmly.

"My mother is very good at making this, and it's no worse than the ones sold in other shops." Lily Ling knelt aside and praised complacently.

"You kid..."

Huayuan Ye glared at her daughter, but the smile on her face became even more intense. She looked at Lu Ping'an expectantly, as if waiting for his response.

"Well, thank you, auntie."

Lu Ping'an smiled and glanced at Lily Ling, then politely thanked Hua Yuanye.

Then he reached out and carefully picked up a bunch of tricolor dumplings, and placed his other hand under the tricolor dumplings to prevent the honey and nuts from falling.

He brought the three-colored dumpling to his mouth and took a light bite of the white dumpling. A sticky taste immediately came to him.

The sweet aroma of honey mixed with the crispness of nuts and the aroma of milk spread in the mouth.

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he chewed it with great enjoyment. After swallowing it, he praised sincerely:

"It's delicious. The dumplings themselves are very chewy, and paired with the sweetness of the honey and the crunch of the nuts, the taste and texture are very good."

"As long as you like it."

Hua Yuanye smiled brightly, placed a cup of clear tea in front of Lu Ping'an, and said:

"Try it, this is Gyokuro green tea, it goes well with it."

"Yeah, Arigato."

Lu Ping'an thanked him again - he picked up the teacup and felt the perfect warmth on his fingertips.

Lu Ping'an lowered his head and took a sip. The elegant tea fragrance immediately neutralized the sweetness of the dumplings in his mouth. It was indeed a good match for drinking together.

"..."

Eating tricolor dumplings, drinking Gyokuro green tea, and chatting.

The atmosphere is enjoyable.

After getting to know everyone, the old man put down his teacup, stood up first and said, "You guys chat, I still have work to do next."

"Me too."

Hanazono then stood up and looked at his daughter and instructed, "Yurisuzu, take Heian-kun around the shrine later."
