Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

"Deduct a few bucks from you..."

After a brief greeting, Lu Pingan and others were respectfully invited into the car by the young man named Suzuki, who then drove to the first location.

The place we are going to is a single-family house in Chidori-cho, Ota Ward.

Originally, Lu Ping'an wanted to rent an apartment - he felt that a single-family house was like a self-built house in the countryside. When young people go to other places, who will choose a self-built house? Basically, they are all apartments, and Lu Ping'an is the same.

But after understanding their needs and budget, Suzuki recommended a single-family house to them and said that renting a single-family house would be a better option for them given their budget.

After sending them photos of 4LDK apartments and single-family houses of corresponding prices and listing their respective advantages and disadvantages in detail, Lu Pingan decisively changed his mind.

Screw your apartment, I choose a single-family house!

……

……

Chapter 37 I’m so sorry for the irony!

The single-family house recommended by Mr. Suzuki is of modern style and quite distinctive.

The entire building is divided into two floors. It looks square, but not so regular. There is an L-shaped balcony extending outward on the second floor.

The dark glass curtain wall on the balcony shines with a charming luster in the sunlight.

The appearance of the entire building is simple and beautiful. The walls are light-colored, giving people a fresh feeling, which forms a sharp contrast with the dark wooden door.

"This single-family house was built eleven years ago. The total floor area is 96.5 square meters. Although there's no courtyard, there's a parking space. It's only an eight-minute walk from the nearest station, and there's a 711-Eleven convenience store nearby. The location is pretty good!"

"Also, this single-family house faces southeast, so it gets sunlight all day long, and the soundproofing is also good..."

Suzuki-san stood in front of the house and introduced it patiently.

These were actually mentioned when I recommended it yesterday, and even the internal photos were shown to Lu Pingan and the others. The main purpose of coming here today is to take a look at the site. If it feels suitable and is interested, the contract will be signed on the spot.

"Let's go take a look inside."

With a gesture of invitation, Suzuki-san quickly stepped forward, took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, and then took out three pairs of disposable slippers from his business bag.

After distributing it to Lu Ping'an and Lily Ling, he looked at the little evil god's tail in silence.

"Eh?"

The little evil god looked at the disposable slippers in his hand, his eyes widened, then he looked down at his tail and fell silent.

"Or the little evil god is outside? We will help you check it out. You have already seen the internal photos yesterday anyway." Lily Ling covered her mouth and laughed.

"Huh? Why? I'm already here, and you want me to stand outside? And I have to pay the same money as you guys!" The little evil god was immediately unhappy. This was too much of a bullying to the devil!

"Humph."

She took advantage of their carelessness and rushed into the room. She stood on the floor, put her hands on her hips, and turned around triumphantly.

"..." Suzuki-san smiled and pulled the corners of his mouth.

Lu Ping'an couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead. Suddenly, he felt like he was taking a naughty child to look at a house.

Isn't this guy over 7000 years old?

How come his personality is like that of a seven-year-old kid!

Lily Ling's smile faded a little, she took out a pack of wet wipes from her bag and threw it over, saying speechlessly:

"Wipe it clean yourself, or I'll kill you."

"...You should have told me earlier if there was such a thing!"

The little evil god took it subconsciously, took a look at it, sat down mumbling, and took out a wet towel to wipe his tail.

"..."

After the little incident, Suzuki-san continued to show the others around the house.

Entering from the door is a classic sunken entrance hall. On the right side of the entrance hall is a walk-in shoe cabinet - a small room dedicated to storing shoes.

Shoes that are not worn regularly can be stored here. Lu Ping'an thinks this design is very good.

There is a bedroom and a bathroom on the left side of the entrance corridor. The bedroom is well lit and ventilated, and there is also a small dressing room inside.

On the right is a spiral staircase leading upwards, with a toilet below.

At the end of the entrance hall, turning left is an open kitchen, living room and dining room. The kitchen is relatively large, which was Lu Ping'an's special request.

Working in a small kitchen can make one feel depressed, and there's a feeling of being restricted and unable to turn around - just like the apartment that Yuriling has not yet moved out of.

Lily Ling and the Little Evil God were also very satisfied when they looked at the living room and dining room.

This place is more than twice as big as the living room of the original apartment, and the lighting is also very good. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room facing the street outside, and there is also a small window in the dining room.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

When the others had almost finished their tour, Suzuki-san spoke at the right time.

"it is good……"

So next, the group went to the second floor.

The second floor contains a toilet, a restroom, a bathroom, and three bedrooms.

The master bedroom of this single-family house is on the first floor, and the three bedrooms upstairs are not large, basically around 10 square meters.

However, two bedrooms have access to the balcony.

"How do you feel?" Lu Ping'an walked around the balcony and turned back to look at Lily Ling and the Little Evil God.

He is personally quite satisfied with it.

"I think it's okay." Lily Ling said implicitly.

This place is much better than the apartment she rented before, but of course the rent is more expensive. It can be said that you get what you pay for.

"Okay, okay, here it is!"

The little evil god was quite satisfied, baring his big white teeth.

'This fool!'

Lu Ping'an and Lily Ling glanced at her at the same time.

Listening to their conversation, Suzuki-san was a little surprised. Did they decide to rent it so quickly?

In fact, he was mentally prepared to look at a few more houses, or even fail to get the order after looking at a few more houses.

"Then Lily Ling, you go and talk to her."

Lu Ping'an withdrew his gaze from his stupid teammates and looked at Lily Ling.

"Okay." Yuriling nodded, then looked at Suzuki-san who was standing beside her with a business-like smile on his face.

There are all sorts of miscellaneous fees associated with renting a house in Neon, and these fees must be negotiated in advance, otherwise there may be unpleasantness later.

The rent can also be negotiated.

In addition, what made Lu Ping'an speechless was that there were additional fees for foreigners to rent a house.

I heard that some landlords have higher requirements for foreign tenants and will make things difficult for them, so I will rent a house under the name of Yuriling next time.

"Neon is such a xenophobic country!"

Lu Ping'an raised his hand, placed it on the balcony railing, looked up at the blue sky and thought to himself.

"Dependents."

"Ok?"

"Do you miss home?"

The voice of the little evil god sounded in his ears, and Lu Ping'an looked at her in surprise.

Lily Ling turned around and looked at Lu Ping'an.

"No."

Lu Pingan sighed to the Little Evil God, "I'm wondering if I should work harder next time. I don't have money to buy furniture after renting the house!"

Neon rentals really only rent your house, without even a bed board, let alone a refrigerator, washing machine, table, and sofa.

Then, when you move out, you have to take all your things with you. The property should be in the same condition as when you rented it.

The landlord won’t want the furniture or anything else if you leave it to him.

If the item is in good condition, you can contact the second-hand store and maybe you can get some money back. If the item is in bad condition, the second-hand store may even charge you for garbage disposal.

Some special household appliances cannot be recycled. You need to contact a specialized recycling store or organization, and you will also have to pay transportation and processing fees.

All in all, this aspect is quite different from the country he came from before he traveled through time.

"Um...Mr. Lu, do you mind second-hand furniture? If you don't mind, I have a friend here who can give you a reasonable price." Suzuki-san asked with a smile.

Real estate agents like him probably have friends in this field, right?

Lu Ping'an thought to himself, waved his hand and said: "No, I'd better try to replace the furniture."

He wasn't used to using things that strangers had used, not to mention it didn't require much effort.

"Okay." Suzuki-san nodded and continued to discuss the rental contract with Yurisuzu.

The Little Evil God crossed his arms and gave Lu Ping'an a wicked smile:

"I'm so sorry! Dear one, you probably won't be able to go back in this lifetime unless you can find the spell to return. But even if you find the spell, I won't let you go back!"

"Are you reluctant to part with my cooking?"

Lu Ping'an was not angry and asked back with a smile.

"Huh? Who wouldn't be willing to give it up? I can only say that the great evil god needs your offerings! If you were more sensible and offered some more money, the great evil god would be even happier!" The little evil god made a gesture to pay money quickly.

"I'm sorry, but I don't see your greatness."

Lu Ping'an raised his hand and pretended to wipe away his tears.

"I'm so sorry!"

"..."

The Little Evil God said that this was the first time she heard such a sarcastic apology. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and really wanted to jump up and give Lu Ping'an a Little Evil God flying kick!

……

Chapter 38 Egg Fried Rice and Sailor Moon Lily Belle!

While Lu Ping'an was arguing with the Little Evil God, Lily Ling and Suzuki-san also negotiated the rental contract.

After negotiation, the monthly rent is 23 yen, one month's deposit and one month's rent in full.

Today happens to be the 15th, so I only need to pay half a month's rent this month.

The gift money is one month's rent - this is money given to the landlord for free, which means thank you for renting the house to me. In Neon, landlords are really big bosses!

The agency fee is one month's rent plus tax.

The guaranteed company fee is half a month's rent.

The remaining lock replacement fees, fire insurance fees, etc., all added up - the final down payment totals 101.5 million yen!

Lu Ping'an and Lily Ling's wallets were drained directly. The little evil god didn't pay, but Lu Ping'an would deduct it from her reward later.

The money reserved for Minos's room will be temporarily borne by Lu Ping'an, and will be deducted from her salary later. The main principle is fairness and justice.

After a busy period, it was already noon.

"We spent so much money, and he didn't even treat us to a meal. He's really incompetent!"

At the apartment door, the little evil god looked at the business car driving away with dissatisfaction, and patted the ground with his tail.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Ping'an gave her a strange look. It was the first time he heard that a rental agency wanted to treat tenants to a meal. He turned and walked towards the second floor of the apartment.

Lily Ling cast a glance at the little evil god and sighed, "You're really crazy. It's good enough to have a pick-up service."

He also raised his feet, and a voice came from the air:
