Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 280 Steamed Buns! The alluring Eri Kisaki!

Kitahara Natsuyu and Kisaki Eri sat at the dining table, on which was a large plate full of steaming hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

In addition, there were two small dishes on the table, containing chili peppers and vinegar.

Some people like to eat it plain, while others like to dip it in chili and vinegar.

Kitahara Natsuhiro likes to dip his food in chili and vinegar, which makes it even more flavorful.

Eri Kisaki usually eats a light diet, but she can also eat spicy food and other strong-flavored foods.

Furthermore, Japanese ramen and other similar dishes tend to have a very strong flavor.

Extra spicy ramen, and ramen that's oozing with oil.

"Eri-nee, you should eat too." Kitahara Natsuyu picked up a small steamed bun and placed it in Eri's bowl.

Eri said thank you, then picked up her chopsticks, opened her mouth, and put a hot steamed bun inside.

The steamed dumplings were so hot that Eri opened her mouth and kept panting, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at Eri Kisaki and began to openly peek.

How could one not see such a beautiful sight!
Although the xiaolongbao was very hot, Eri still didn't spit it out. After all, Kitahara Natsuhiro was still there, and it would be very impolite to spit out food.

As a result, Eri's tongue was burned red, and even the inside of her mouth was burned.

After eating it, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

This sight immediately captivated Kitahara Natsuyu, who unconsciously chewed on a xiaolongbao dipped in chili and vinegar, and couldn't help but think to himself.

"hiss"

"As expected of Eri Kisaki, she truly commands my utmost respect."

"Is this what a fully matured married woman looks like? It's absolutely terrifying!"

Although Yukiko is also a married woman, she is the lively and cute type, while Eri Kisaki is completely different, and this version of Eri Kisaki is truly extremely alluring!
Kitahara Natsuyu mentally gave the xiaolongbao a thumbs up.

The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) have made a great contribution!
If it weren't for the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), how would we ever see Eri Kisaki looking like this!

Coming today was definitely the right decision.

At this moment, Eri swallowed the xiaolongbao, and her expression became lively: "I vaguely remember."

"This is so delicious, can you teach me how to make it?" Eri Kisaki turned to look at Kitahara Natsuyu, her hazy eyes blinking as if they could bewitch souls.

At the same time, Eri Kisaki also noticed Kitahara Natsuyu's gaze and looked down in the direction of it.

Her face flushed slightly, and she shifted her body unconsciously, feeling a wave of shyness wash over her.

The house was heated, and she was wearing relatively light clothing, so Kitahara Natsuyu could see her figure clearly, especially given her earlier actions.
Eri's cheeks gradually turned rosy.

Even though she is already a mother of a seventeen-year-old daughter, Eri Kisaki still felt extremely shy when faced with this situation.

At the same time, there was also a hint of secret joy in my heart.

After all, she was not young anymore, but in Kitahara Natsuyu's eyes, she was still quite charming and had not yet aged and lost her beauty.

But that gaze... it's so undisguised.

It really made her face burn.

Kitahara Natsuhiro: Oh, madam, you're still so shy, I really love it!

"Ahem." Kitahara Natsumi also noticed Eri Kisaki's gaze, coughed twice to come back to his senses, and showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Besides, he was just watching and purely appreciating the scene; he didn't overstep any boundaries.

Moreover, his eyes remained as clear and bright as ever.

"This is very simple, I'll teach you in a bit."

"But do you have any flour at home?"

Flour is essential for making xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and the type of flour used is also very important.

For xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), all-purpose flour is fine.

However, given Eri Kisaki's current cooking skills, she probably doesn't have that kind of cooking at home.

After hearing Kitahara Natsumi talk about serious matters, Kisaki Eri also came back to her senses. She gently patted her slightly flushed cheeks, then patted her chest and let out a long sigh. She said softly, "We have flour at home, but I don't know if it's all-purpose flour."

"I don't know much about these things."

If she had any research experience, she wouldn't have sought help from Kitahara Natsuhiro.

I did some research before I had a job, but now I just read cookbooks and forget everything afterward.

So she had absolutely no idea about flour classifications or anything like that.

“No problem,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “They can all be made, but the taste will be different. I’ll demonstrate in a bit. If you have a camera at home, you can record it and watch it repeatedly. You’ll learn it quickly.”

"It's really great."

“It’s very simple.” Kitahara Natsumi picked up another small steamed bun: “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

"it is good."

Eri nodded and picked up a small steamed bun. This time, she learned from her mistake and dipped it in chili oil and vinegar, and even blew on it.

After feeling that the temperature was just right, I took a small bite.

The taste is as delicious as ever.

soon
Kitahara Natsuyu and Kisaki Eri finished off a whole plate of xiaolongbao.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro ate most of them, while Kisaki Eri ate nearly ten, showing a good appetite, and she even left some room in her stomach.

After all, the stewed beef is already on its way, and if we eat too much now, we won't be able to eat anything later.

"Xia Yu." Eri Kisaki looked at Kitahara Natsuyu, who had eaten quite a few xiaolongbao and drunk a large glass of water, and asked, "Will you be able to eat anything else later?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsumi put down his cup, patted his stomach, and laughed: "Don't worry about that, I can eat a lot."

"This little bit is nothing, so you don't need to worry about not being able to eat the stewed beef."

"Unless... the stewed beef tastes really weird."

He added water if there was too much salt or soy sauce. Although he didn't add anything strange, he could tell from the look of it that the stewed beef didn't taste very good.

But it shouldn't be hard to swallow either.

"Impossible!" Eri Kisaki said confidently, "The stewed beef is my masterpiece, there's absolutely no problem with it."

"Even if there's a problem, it's the pot and the water!"

Eri Kisaki is still being stubborn.

But that's normal; proud people are often very stubborn.

However, after so many years and with age, Eri Kisaki is no longer as arrogant, but she still retains some of it.

"."

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu didn't know what to say, after all, this was the only excuse that Kisaki Eri could use to save face.

But this was merely his judgment based on what he saw; he still didn't know what real stewed beef tasted like.

In short, it won't taste good.

"It's almost time, shall we cook some more rice?" Kitahara Natsuyu said. "I think stewed beef goes even better with rice."

The stewed beef is so delicious that you could eat several bowls of rice just from the broth.

But Eri Kisaki found it difficult. "That's right, stewed beef is best served with rice. I'll go cook rice right away." Eri Kisaki immediately got up and went to the kitchen.

But after she went to the kitchen, she didn't start cooking immediately. Instead, she opened the pot of stewed beef, scooped up a spoonful of soup, took a sip, tasted it, and then added a tiny bit of seasoning and water.

"."

After adding these seasonings, Eri began to cook rice.

Although Eri Kisaki has some issues with cooking, she can still cook rice normally without any problems; it's the kind of rice that's edible.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu also got up, took the bowls and chopsticks from the table to the kitchen, and turned on the tap to start washing them.

"Xia Yu, you're a guest, shouldn't I handle this?"

“It’s nothing.” Kitahara Natsuyu shook his head: “It was just something I did on the side. It’s good to get some exercise after eating.”

"If you eat but don't move, it's easy for fat to accumulate."

Of course, he doesn't have such worries.

No matter how much he eats, he won't accumulate fat; he doesn't need to worry about that at all.

Being half-human and half-ghost—that's how convenient it is.

Upon hearing this, Eri lowered her head and pinched her lower abdomen: "I think I've gained a little weight recently."

Recently, Beika Town and even the whole of Tokyo have been in turmoil, so Eri Kisaki has been quite busy lately.

This resulted in her not eating properly, and after eating she would sit and handle official business. In addition, she didn't have time to exercise, which led to the appearance of a little bit of fat on her lower abdomen.

I've just gained a tiny bit of weight.

But Kitahara Natsuhiro felt that being a little chubby was good, and that Eri Kisaki's figure was exactly the kind of figure he liked.

He finds her fleshy and comfortable to the touch, whereas he doesn't appreciate the bony physique.

Kitahara Natsuyu pretended to sized up Eri Kisaki: "Actually, I think I'm fine. I haven't gained much weight, and my figure is still as good as ever."

"I think you're the kind of person who can eat a lot without gaining weight, right, Eri-nee?"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki smiled.

Although she knew that Kitahara Natsuhiro was just saying these words to make her happy, she was still very happy.

"No, I've really gained a little weight." Eri Kisaki waved her hand with a smile: "I've been too busy lately, and my life hasn't been very regular, so I've gained a little weight."

"Fortunately, my weight is still within the safe range, so there's nothing seriously wrong."

She set a safety threshold for her weight; if she exceeded that threshold, she would have to lose weight.

She is extremely strict with herself when it comes to her figure.

She certainly didn't want to become a fat old woman when she got old; that was something she couldn't accept.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Actually, Eri-nee, you can just eat normally. There's no need to lose weight or anything like that. Moderate exercise is enough."

As a physical education teacher, he has some experience with weight loss, but he doesn't need to lose weight.

“That’s what I think too,” Eri Kisaki nodded.

It is common knowledge that irregular eating habits can lead to weight gain, as can staying up late.

"I was thinking about getting up early to go for a run a while ago, but I just couldn't get up. I always overslept," Eri said somewhat embarrassedly.

She's such a grown woman, and she still overslept. She's a disgrace to working people.

“Actually, I often oversleep too,” Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile. “It’s okay not to run; walking is just as good, and that way you won’t accumulate fat.”

"And Eri-nee, you have a really good figure now, you don't need to lose weight."

Why lose weight? I like this figure.

"Are you sure you don't need to?" Eri Kisaki asked with a smile, glancing down at her own figure.

If you don't sit down, you really can't see an ounce of excess fat.

Even when sitting down, you can't see any obvious excess fat.

"really."

"Although girls nowadays all pursue a skinny and slender figure, Yingli, your figure is the best right now."

"Don't listen to those experts' nonsense."

Just listen to what the experts say; if you believe them, you're doomed.

Is 4,000 yuan enough for a family of five to live on?
I believe you as a ghost!

“That makes sense.” Eri Kisaki nodded.

She now realizes that she made a mountain out of a molehill.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu washed the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his wet hands clean, and then said, "Yes, you don't need to lose weight."

"By the way, Eri-nee, where is the flour? Let me see."

"okay."

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment, then began rummaging through the cupboards.

She remembered buying a bag of flour to make something, but then she got busy and forgot about it and hadn't opened it yet.

But she forgot where she put it.

After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Eri Kisaki finally pulled out an unopened bag of flour.

It also indicates that it's all-purpose flour.

“This is the kind of flour.” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded as he looked at the flour, then took out a rag to wipe the stove and took out a basin.

"Eri-nee, there should be extra beef, right?" Kitahara Natsuhiko asked.

Now all the ingredients are available on-site, so we don't necessarily have to make xiaolongbao (soup dumplings); dumplings are fine too.

Japanese people quite like to eat dumplings, and they also like to pair carbohydrates with other carbohydrates.

Ramen with dumplings and rice.

“Yes, I ordered a lot. After making stewed beef, there’s still some left over,” Eri Kisaki said.

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and said, "Eri-nee, you've already had xiaolongbao today, how about trying to make dumplings?"

"Making dumplings? Is that easy?"

She likes to eat dumplings and the like, but she doesn't know how to make them herself, so she usually eats them at restaurants.

"It's easy, dumplings are easier than steamed buns."

"Then teach me how to make dumplings." Eri Kisaki still prefers simpler foods.

"it is good."

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded, then poured the flour into the bowl, added an appropriate amount of water and salt, and began kneading the dough.

Eri, standing to the side, watched Kitahara Natsuyu's every move intently, as if trying to imprint it all into her mind.

soon
Kitahara Natsuhiro kneaded the flour into a dough, then placed the bowl on top of the dough and let it rest for thirty minutes.

"Next, the dough needs to rest for thirty minutes. The stewed beef should be ready by now!" Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at it from the side.

"It's almost time."

Eri nodded, then lifted the lid of the pot, added a tiny bit of ingredients, and finally placed it on the table.

Meanwhile, the rice is already cooked!
