Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 279 Eri Kisaki's Cooking Techniques! Get it all inside, get everything inside!

Upon hearing this, Eri rolled up her sleeves: "Then it's my turn to take over."

"I promise you'll get to eat delicious stewed beef."

"Stewed beef is my specialty, and I've also ordered quite a lot of premium Wagyu beef."

"This time, I'm sure you'll have a good meal."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro's forehead began to sweat profusely.

Although he didn't know exactly how bad Eri's cooking was, he had already gleaned some information from Ran and Conan's descriptions.

However, he is no longer an ordinary human, but a half-human, half-demon. Even if Eri Kisaki's cooking is bad, there should be a limit.

His body is unlikely to suffer from food poisoning due to these foods.

So the advantage is in my hands, and there's not much of a problem.

Kitahara Natsumi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Eri-neechan. I'll give you some guidance from the side."

"it is good."

Eri nodded, then went to the kitchen next to the living room, took down two aprons from the side, and handed one to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

However, both aprons are a bit too flashy in color.

But that's normal. After all, Eri Kisaki is a woman, so naturally she likes these flashy colors.

As for Kitahara Natsuhiro's apron at home, it is a black apron.

Eri Kisaki stared at the apron in Kitahara Natsuyu's hand, paused for a moment, and looked a little embarrassed: "Sorry, this is the only apron we have at home."

"So I'm sorry to have troubled you."

It's definitely a bit unfair, after all, a grown man wearing an apron with this kind of pattern and color would be laughed at if people knew.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu waved his hand, put on his apron, and tied it securely: "It's alright."

"Aprons? They're nothing special. Besides, these aprons are all in very nice colors, and they suit you perfectly, Eri-nee."

"So you don't have to apologize."

Hearing this, Eri Kisaki smiled and took out the premium Wagyu beef she had bought from the refrigerator, placing it on the kitchen counter.

Immediately, Eri opened the packaging, revealing snowflake-like slices of meat inside, and there were quite a few of them.

There are seven pieces, and they are all in very good condition.

It's clear that Eri Kisaki put a lot of effort into preparing this feast.

This thing would probably cost a lot of money in a restaurant.

Even Kitahara Natsuyu was somewhat surprised that the ingredients were so good, and he himself had rarely produced such high-end ingredients.

He now buys all his cooking ingredients from the supermarket; they are all ordinary ingredients. He only buys high-end ingredients on special occasions.

“Eri-nee, you’ve really gone to a lot of trouble this time. It’s such high-quality beef,” Kitahara Natsuyu said.

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki shook her head and said, "Since we are entertaining guests, we should bring out the best ingredients."

"Just wait and you'll be treated to a feast this time!"

“Alright.” Kitahara Natsuyu smiled. “Then let’s begin.”

"But stewing beef takes a while, so let's steam some xiaolongbao first and have something to fill our stomachs."

"What do you think, Eri-nee?"

Stewing beef is not an easy task; it takes a lot of time, at least two hours.

“Okay, I’m a little hungry, so let’s have some of Xia Yu’s steamed buns to tide us over.”

"Actually, I didn't eat much this morning, and I'm a little hungry now," Eri said somewhat embarrassedly.

After getting up in the morning, she only ate two slices of toast and a glass of milk, and then she didn't eat anything else.

This is one of the reasons why she has such a good figure.

In addition, she goes to the gym to work out when she has free time, and if she doesn't have time, she will work out a little at home.

Fortunately, she has a good constitution and is the type who doesn't easily gain weight.

Otherwise, her figure would have gone out of shape.

After all, women tend to gain weight a little as they get older, and the same goes for men.

It's just that women pay more attention to their figure and exercise more.

“Okay, then I’ll steam the buns, and you can take care of the beef, Eri-nee,” Kitahara Natsumi said.

"Okay, let's divide the work and cooperate."

"Mm." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and took out the xiaolongbao he had brought.

"By the way, Yingli-nee, do you have a steamer here?"

"Yes, there is," Eri Kisaki nodded. "You can see it by opening the cabinet on your left."

"it is good."

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, squatted down and opened the cabinet, where he saw a large number of kitchen utensils.

Yes, that's right, a lot of kitchen utensils.

All kinds of pots, steamers, and earthenware jars—you can find almost any kitchenware you can find on the market here.

He even saw several kitchen knives that hadn't been disassembled.

"Is this what it means for underachievers to have so many kitchen utensils? I've seen it for myself today." Kitahara Natsuyu's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the kitchen utensils.

He enjoys cooking, but he doesn't buy many kitchen utensils. He only buys things he actually needs, and only one at a time.

But he probably has quite a few kitchen knives.

However, these cleavers are not all the same type; some are specifically for cutting meat, while others are specifically for handling seafood.

Besides that, he didn't have any extra kitchen utensils.

But the kitchen utensils in Eri Kisaki's kitchen really exceeded the standard.

Just then, Eri Kisaki looked over and saw that Natsuhiro Kitahara was staring blankly at the pot in the cabinet.

She was a little confused, then it dawned on her, and her cheeks flushed slightly: "I...I really enjoy cooking."

"That's why I like to buy kitchenware."

"I accidentally bought a little too much, hehehe."

Eri Kisaki laughed awkwardly.

Hearing Eri's words, Kitahara Natsuhiro really didn't know what to say.

Because there were so many kitchen utensils inside, she didn't just accidentally buy a little bit too much; she bought a ton of them.

Furthermore, some kitchen utensils were still unopened, including some pots.

Therefore, Eri Kisaki never used any of these items after buying them.

Perhaps Eri Kisaki is just too busy!
Kitahara Natsumi couldn't help but start making excuses for Eri Kisaki.

But in reality, Eri Kisaki was indeed quite busy, but there was another reason: she wanted to prove that it wasn't her skills that were the problem.

The problem lies with these kitchen utensils.

It's all because of the kitchen utensils; that's why the food she makes tastes so bad.

But after buying these kitchen utensils, she started cooking and invited Ms. Kuriyama Midori to come and 'test' them, but the result was the same.

hard to swallow.

But she can't break this habit; every time she watches a shopping channel on TV, she can't help but buy something.

Therefore, there are more and more of these things, and they are all new.

Fortunately, Eri Kisaki is very wealthy, so these things are nothing to her and won't bankrupt her. Although it's a bit wasteful, it's still within acceptable limits, since these things can still be used.

"We did buy a bit too much," Kitahara Natsumi said frankly. "And your kitchenware is very complete, and many of them are the latest models."

"If you see shopping channels on TV in the future, please don't buy anything from them."

"Kitchenware doesn't get updated that quickly. They just change the name and the description, and then put it on the market to sell."

He doesn't usually buy things from shopping channels on TV because he's easily scammed.

Of course, he hasn't been fooled in Conan's world yet, but he was fooled before he traveled through time.

Back then, I was young and naive. I watched the shopping channel on TV, and their explanations were incredibly convincing.

Then he picked up the phone and made the purchase.

When it arrived, it turned out to be a counterfeit product.

But by then, the seller had already absconded, and it was impossible to return the goods.

So, learn from your mistakes.

He would never touch TV shopping or anything like that.

Now, Eri Kisaki has become obsessed with TV shopping, but Japanese TV shopping is still somewhat reliable, especially since Eri Kisaki is a lawyer.

"I'm sorry." Eri Kisaki lowered her head. "I'm used to buying things, so when I saw it, I couldn't help but call and order it."

“Sometimes I think about returning the goods after they arrive, but I get busy and forget about it, and then the return period expires.”

"So these things just kept accumulating."

"If Xia Yu, you can take some with you. I have plenty here."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro seemed to see Nohara Misae.

Misae Nohara is always on TV shopping channels, but she usually buys things she doesn't need.

Then, after a while, I lost track of where I put it.

She also had a particular fondness for buying diet pills, buying them by the case and eventually leaving them in her room on the second floor.

In the end, Misae Nohara did not succeed in losing weight.

And in one of the theatrical versions, it became round and chubby.

And now, Eri Kisaki looks the same way, except she's buying kitchenware, not weight loss products.

Furthermore, Eri Kisaki's figure means she doesn't need weight loss products.

"Hmm," Kitahara Natsuyu said, stroking his chin. "I'll take a look first, and then I'll clean up this place while I'm cooking. There's just too much stuff, and it's quite messy."

Eri blushed again.

She was incredibly embarrassed to be told her house was messy by a man.

Of course, the kitchen cabinets were indeed very messy, but she kept the room spotless and had a cleaning service come every week.

Of course, she sometimes cleans herself, but that's rare unless she's particularly free.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

"You're welcome."

Kitahara Natsuyu smiled, stuck his head into the cupboard, looked around, and finally pulled out a steamer that was practically brand new.

I used this steamer, but only once, and then it just sat in the cardboard box collecting dust.

This time, the steamer finally found its purpose.

And this steamer is from a big brand; it looks quite expensive.

“I remember this pot; it cost over 50,000 yen,” Eri Kisaki said.

More than 50,000 yen?

It doesn't seem very expensive. Anyway, Eri Kisaki has money, so let her have it!
"This pot is indeed very good, and it's from a big brand. It's a very good product." Kitahara Natsuyu took it out and looked at it, giving a conclusion.

“Right? This pot is really useful!” Eri Kisaki laughed.

"It's a good pot, but it's useless if you don't use it," Kitahara Natsuyu couldn't help but complain.

"."

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.

She really didn't use it much; she only used it once.

"Alright, let's get to work now."

Kitahara Natsuhiro placed the pot in the sink and began to wash it.

Eri cleaned everything before putting it away, but since it's been so long, it's best to rinse it with water.

In no time, Kitahara Natsuyu cleaned the steamer and started steaming the xiaolongbao.

Meanwhile, Eri Kisaki took out a beautifully crafted soup pot from the cabinet.

Looking at the pot, Kitahara Natsuhiro knew it was from a big brand and wasn't cheap.

This time, Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't say anything, but just watched Eri Kisaki cook without interrupting.

Although Ran and Conan both said that Eri Kisaki's cooking was terrible, there was nothing wrong with her cooking techniques.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with the knife skills or the seasonings.

So Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't say anything.

Having been a housewife before, she knows a thing or two, and Japanese schools even have home economics classes.

They specifically teach students how to cook.

That's why some housewives are very skilled – they learned it in home economics classes.

Eri Kisaki had clearly studied it.

But later, things gradually became outrageous.

After some of the ingredients were put into the pot, Eri would lift the lid every few days to taste the flavors.

If it's too bland, add a pinch of salt; if it's too salty, add a pinch of water.

If the color isn't dark enough, add some soy sauce; if the color is too dark, add some water!

The veins on Kitahara Natsuhiro's forehead bulged as he watched from the side.

Is this how you cook? No wonder it tastes so bad.

And how could Eri Kisaki, who has been a housewife for so many years, be like this?

Could this guy really be a complete culinary idiot?
However, Kitahara Natsuhiro still didn't say anything, because he wanted to wait for the stewed beef to be ready before giving a conclusion after tasting it.

How can you lecture Eri Kisaki without even having eaten?
Meanwhile, Eri, completely oblivious to Kitahara Natsuyu's gaze, continued preparing her stewed beef.

And he was confident that his stewed beef would amaze Kitahara Natsuhiro.

soon
The steamer next to him was turned on, and after bubbling for a few minutes, Kitahara Natsuyu turned it off, then opened the lid and took out the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

"Eri-nee, the steamed buns are ready, you can eat them now," Kitahara Natsuyu said.

"Oh, so fast?" Eri Kisaki said. "Should we steam it a little longer?"

"?"

It's already cooked, why bother steaming it?

“It’s already cooked. It won’t taste good if you steam it any longer.” Kitahara Natsuhiro.

"okay."
