Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 460 Hot Spring! Servants Scrubbing the Body!
“It’s so delicious!”

The first reaction of everyone after eating these Chinese dishes.

Hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki blushed slightly, swirling the wine glass in her hand, feeling very happy: "Of course, these chefs are all famous chefs, I invited them from the local area!"

Since it was brought over from next door, it was naturally quite authentic, and the flavors were not modified at all, unlike the Chinese food that has been modified in Japan.

However, the meal was mainly Sichuan cuisine because the flavors were quite stimulating.

After all, they've had enough of the bland food in Japan, so naturally they want to eat something with stronger flavors now.

However, these chefs controlled the amount of seasonings, so the flavor wasn't particularly strong, at least not strong enough to make you spit out your food.

And because many of the people involved were adults, a lot of them drank alcohol.

Kitahara Natsuhiro, Yonehara Akiko, Suzuki Tomoko, and others had all drunk quite a bit of alcohol, so their faces were slightly flushed.

But Kitahara Natsumi was different; his complexion remained normal as always, without a trace of rosiness.

After all, Kitahara Natsuhiro is a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

While Kitahara Natsuhiro and others drank alcohol, the others naturally drank fruit juice, which was quite expensive and tasted quite good.

It's safe to say that Suzuki is indeed a powerful conglomerate; whatever they do, they do it on a grand scale!

"You invited them over?" Xiao Lan was immediately surprised.

She thought the chefs were all locals from Japan, but it turned out they weren't; they were locals from the neighboring area.

As expected of the Suzuki zaibatsu, they are truly amazing; they can invite these people over so easily.

"Yes!" Suzuki Tomoko said, "We invited them before, but they're only coming now. Since you were coming for dinner, we had them prepare a meal. It seems everyone likes it very much. That's wonderful!"

"By the way, Mr. Kitahara, what do you think of this expert's opinion?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro also runs a Chinese restaurant, so naturally we should ask Kitahara Natsuhiro, the person in charge.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu put down his cup, looked at the dishes in front of him, and nodded, saying, "It's delicious, much better than what I make!"

That's the truth. After all, the other person is a master chef, while he himself is just a cyber chef who learned everything online.

They only knew a little bit of the basics; they didn't know any of the secret formulas or anything like that.

After all, since they posted it online, they certainly wouldn't reveal the secret recipe or anything like that.

This is their very foundation; how could they possibly release the entire thing? So they only needed a tiny fraction of it.

But these basics are enough, because we're all just ordinary people, not gourmets. Good taste and fresh ingredients are all that's needed.

Because you usually can't taste the difference.

Anyway, in his previous life, Kitahara Natsuyu felt that eating at high-end restaurants and eating at small eateries were about the same, with no big difference, and he even thought that some small eateries were tastier.

"Do you need me to bring those chefs over? You can ask them for directions," Suzuki Tomoko asked.

As for this inquiry, it was naturally about asking about the dishes.

Kitahara Natsuyu shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I just run a small restaurant. As long as the food tastes good and the ingredients are fresh, that's enough. I don't need anything else."

"There's no need to ask for your advice!"

He doesn't run any fancy restaurants, so there's no need to ask him for advice. Besides, even if you did ask, he wouldn't tell you. This is his livelihood, so why should he tell you?

Unless you throw money at it!

Kitahara Natsuyu would never do such a thing. He'd rather spend money on women than on these secret formulas.

He's always been like this; he likes beautiful women, and although he also likes good food, beautiful women come before good food.

And sometimes, beautiful women are also delicious food, just like everyone else!
Tomoko Suzuki nodded and didn't pursue the matter further, changing the subject: "It's getting late, why don't you stay here and rest for the night, and go back tomorrow!"

"Perfect timing to soak in our Suzuki family's hot spring!"

This estate has a hot spring, and it's a completely natural hot spring. That's why the Suzuki zaibatsu built the estate here.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu looked at the others: "What do you all say?"

He had no objections. After all, there was a free hot spring bath, so why not take a bath? Besides, Mrs. Suzuki Tomoko had personally invited him, so he naturally had to give her face.

Otherwise, wouldn't we be letting them down?
Upon hearing this, Akiko Yonehara glanced at Natsuhiro Kitahara but said nothing: "Then I shall accept your offer."

Since you've already invited me, why don't you stay for the night?
After all, she had never stayed in such a luxurious manor before, so she might as well enjoy it!

After Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko agreed, Ran, Koizumi Akako, and the others followed suit.

Tomoko Suzuki smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I'll have the maids clean the bathroom now. You can go for a stroll in the garden to digest your food, and then you can come back for the hot spring later."

Their bathroom is cleaned every day, but now that guests are here, it's natural to clean it again as a sign of respect for the guests.

"Yuanzi, why don't you take everyone outside for a stroll?"

"Okay, Mom."

Sonoko stood up and looked at everyone: "Ran, let me show you around!"

"We'll come back and soak in the hot springs later, it's so relaxing!"

"it is good!"

The group responded and then followed Sonoko outside.

"Conan didn't come today. He'll definitely regret it if he knew!" Ran said with a smile.

After all, they enjoyed such delicious food here today, and there was even a hot spring to soak in. It was truly wonderful!

"Yeah, especially that little brat Genta. He loves eating delicious food the most, but he didn't come today. If he finds out later, he'll definitely regret it to death!" Sonoko said with a grin.

Genta is the most gluttonous guy, especially fond of eel rice. Although there is no eel rice in this dish, all of these are delicious foods.

So, if Genta knew, he would definitely regret going on to investigate the case with Conan and the others.

Compared to solving cases, Genta prefers food, especially eel rice.

Unfortunately, you can't have both delicious food and a case!
"Don't worry," Kitahara Natsuyu said, shaking his phone. "I took a few photos before dinner, and I'll show them to Genta when I see him. I guarantee he'll be pleasantly surprised!"

At this time, Genta didn't have a cell phone, nor did Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, since they were elementary school students and it wasn't time for them to use cell phones yet.

However, technology is advancing, so it probably won't be long before they have their own cell phones. As for Conan, he's had one for a long time, and he even made a phone call during class, which Kitahara Natsuyu caught him red-handed, and he was then punished by copying the school rules ten times.

Even now, when Conan recalls these events, he still gets chills.

"Haha, as expected of you, Teacher Xia Yu," Sonoko couldn't help but tease.

Because Kitahara Natsuhiro is really different from other teachers; he always likes to tease his students, which is really funny.

If all teachers were like Kitahara Natsuhiro, that would be wonderful. She could guarantee that classes would never be so boring, and her grades would definitely be among the best!
Of course, her grades weren't too bad at Teitan High School; they were in the middle range, and with a little effort, she could have gotten into the top tier.

"I'm going to find Genta then and see what he'll be like!" Sonoko said excitedly; she loved watching such exciting things.

"Okay, don't forget!"

"OK!" Sonoko made an OK sign.

Upon hearing this, the people nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, but they didn't choose to stop it because they also wanted to see it!

While Sonoko was showing Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group around her backyard, Suzuki Tomoko was still drinking by herself at the dining table. Her face was getting increasingly rosy, but her eyes were still very clear, without any sign of drunkenness.

As the wife of the Suzuki zaibatsu, she was quite adept at drinking, able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

However, even after drinking too much, my complexion still gets a bit rosy, like it does now.

"Madam, the wine is finished. Would you like more?" A maid came up and leaned down next to Suzuki Tomoko, asking softly.

At the dinner party, there were four people drinking: Kitahara Natsuhiro, Yonehara Akiko, Enomoto Azusa, and Suzuki Tomoko. They finished most of the bottle of wine, and Suzuki Tomoko drank the rest.

"No, alcohol isn't a good thing. I can't overindulge. I've already exceeded my limit today!" Tomoko Suzuki put her hand down and leaned back in her chair.

She is a very self-disciplined person, but sometimes she still wants to indulge herself, like right now.

Besides, with so many people around, we naturally need to indulge ourselves a bit. This can be considered our monthly indulgence day!
Upon hearing this, the maid said softly, "Madam, would you like me to help you back to rest?"

Tomoko Suzuki waved her hand and said, "No need, have someone clear the table. I'll just sit here for a bit and then go soak in the hot spring."

The maid said, "Yes, madam, I will have someone clean the bathroom as soon as possible."

"Okay, go ahead!" Tomoko Suzuki waved her hand and looked at the television set next to her.

At this moment, a servant bowed slightly and left, while other servants came up from the kitchen and began to clear the tableware off the table.

Before they knew it, Sonoko had led Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group on a stroll in her backyard for over an hour.

Their stomachs, which had been full, suddenly felt hungry again, and in the past hour, they hadn't even finished exploring the back garden of the Yuan family.

"Sonoko, your house is really big!" Enomoto Azusa exclaimed.

This was her first time visiting Sonoko's house, and the first time she had ever seen such a large back garden. She could only say that it truly lived up to the name of the Suzuki Estate; it was incredibly large!

And they hadn't even finished exploring Sonoko's backyard.

"Hehe." Sonoko chuckled, "Of course! This is our Suzuki family's manor, so it naturally has to be big and luxurious!"

"Otherwise, the guests will laugh at us!"

Those who can come here are either rich or powerful, and they naturally have certain standards for things, otherwise they would be ridiculed by other tycoons.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group were not wealthy, but they were able to come here entirely because of Sonoko.

I'm so grateful to Sonoko.

“Let’s explore this place properly next time we have time!” Sonoko said. “There are still many things you haven’t seen yet, and it’s better to explore my backyard during the day.”

Da da da.
Just then, a maid came out of the manor. She placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly to Sonoko and the others: "Miss Sonoko, guests, the bathroom has been cleaned and you can go there now."

Hearing this, Sonoko turned to look at the group behind her: "Let's go take a bath, go for a run in the hot springs, it's very relaxing!"

"it is good!"

The group responded and then entered the manor under the guidance of the maid.

At the same time, a maid came to Kitahara Natsuyu's side, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Kitahara, please come with me, the men's bathroom is this way!"

Because people often visit this place, there are separate baths for men and women.

And today, Kitahara Natsuhiro is probably the only male guest; the rest are all girls.

"Okay." Kitahara Natsuyu waved to Yonehara Akiko and the others: "See you later."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Akiko Yonehara followed Sonoko away, while Natsuhiro Kitahara, led by a maid, arrived at the men's bath area and entered the men's bath area with Natsuhiro Kitahara, but in the changing room.

"Mr. Kitahara, I need to take your measurements first so I can get you some clean clothes!"

At Suzuki Estate, clothes in all sizes are available, but you'll need to have your measurements taken first.

That's really thoughtful!

"Okay, please."

Kitahara smiled, and then followed the maid's orders to raise his hands, open his arms, and so on.

The measurements were taken in no time.

The maid said, "Mr. Kitahara, please wait a moment. Someone will bring you a change of clothes shortly, and there will also be maids to wash your clothes. Would you like that?"

"And this too?" Kitahara Natsuhiro raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

"Then give me one. I usually scrub myself in the bath, but this time I can have someone else scrub me. Let's give it a try!"

Some hot springs offer these services, but they are only available in private hot springs; they are not available in public hot springs.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"Ah."

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded, watched the maid leave, and then began to take off his clothes and enter the bath.

Tick
As he opened the door and entered, a wave of steam rushed towards him, enveloping his entire body.
