Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 61: The Girl with Glasses and the Curly-Haired Fox
The milk tempura that Hibiki ideally eats sounds strange, but it is actually fried milk.

Although it still sounds like a dark dish, the fried milk is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and every bite has a rich milky flavor.

The method is not difficult. Lin Xiuyi first mixes milk and coconut juice and boils them, adds a little sugar to season, then slowly pours in cornstarch, stirs into a paste, cooks until boiling, pours into a container, and after the mixture cools down, puts it in the refrigerator to freeze.

At the same time, dilute the tempura powder with cold water and stir it into a paste. Then cut the frozen milk coconut cake into small pieces, coat them with tempura paste, put them into a frying pan over low heat and fry them until golden brown.

"Miss, it's ready!" Lin Xiuyi placed the plate of fried milk in front of Hibiki Eri's table.

Smelling the rich milky aroma, the girl couldn't wait to pick one up and take a bite: "Ah, hot, so hot..."

"You had the nerve to laugh at Kogoro before," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile, "Eat the bottom one first. The top one may look cold on the outside, but it's actually still very hot inside."

"I know," said Hibiki Eri a little embarrassedly, "I just couldn't help myself just now."

"You eat so fast that it's all around your mouth," Lin Xiuyi picked up a tissue from the table and helped the girl wipe the corners of her mouth.

The two of them grew up together and are used to doing this kind of thing.

Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Fujimine Yukiko walked in carrying a paper bag: "What a smell, good..."

Before she could finish her words, she was stunned.

From Fujimine Yukiko's perspective, Kisaki Eri was sitting on a chair with a flushed face (the fried milk was too hot), and Hayashi Shuichi was standing in front of her, holding a tissue in his hand to help her wipe the white paste from the corners of her mouth.

This, this doesn't seem right no matter how I look at it!
"Sorry for disturbing you!"

Yukiko Fujimine's face turned red instantly, she turned around quickly and ran out in a panic.

"Wangcai!" Lin Xiuyi shouted.

The stupid dog quickly rushed to the door and stopped the girl.

"Hayashi Hideichi, you, don't go too far!" Fujimine Yukiko stomped her feet with a red face, "Why did you leave me here after doing this kind of thing!"

"What did we do?" Lin Xiuyi asked in confusion. "Yingxiang wanted to eat fried milk, so I made it for her. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Cooking?" Fujimine Yukiko was stunned. "Is that so?"

"If it's not like this, what else could it be?" Lin Xiuyi said unhappily, "What are you thinking?"

Yukiko Fujimine turned around and looked the two of them up and down carefully. Hayashi Shuichi's clothes were neatly arranged, and he was wearing a chef's apron. It was indeed unlikely that he would do that kind of thing.

"Haha, sorry, I misunderstood," the girl said with a dry laugh as she walked to the table and tried to change the subject. "Is this fried milk? Can milk be used to make tempura?"

As she said that, she reached out to pick up a piece to taste, but before she even touched the fried milk, her hand was slapped away by Hibiki Eri.
"This is what Shuichi made for me."

"Tsk, stingy girl with glasses!" Fujimine Yukiko snorted, "I brought you a gift today!"

"You brought me a gift?" Hibiki Eri was full of suspicion. She turned around and was about to ask Lin Xiuyi, but saw him sneaking around and trying to hide in the kitchen. "Xiuyi, what's going on? Why is this curly-haired fox in the store?"

"Well..." Lin Xiuyi looked at Fujimine Yukiko, "You should tell me yourself."

"We'll talk about that later!" Fujimine Yukiko slammed the table in anger, "Who are you calling a curly-haired fox?"

Kisaki Eri didn't say anything, but just curled the ends of her hair with her fingers.

"Damn you, the girl with glasses!"

"Flirty curly-haired fox!"

"Nerd!" "Scheming girl!"

……

Lin Xiuyi stood aside, watching the two girls bickering back and forth, and was just wondering what to do when the door of the izakaya opened again and Maori Kogoro walked in. "Hey, you guys are all here?"

Sorry, brother!
Lin Xiuyi apologized in his heart, and then quickly said, "Eri, you were not here yesterday, and the store was short-staffed. Fujimine happened to be passing by while shopping, so Kogoro suggested that she come to the store to help."

"Afterwards, he gave your work clothes to Fujimine-san. Because he felt that they didn't fit properly, Fujimine-san altered them."

"That's what happened. I'm going to prepare the ingredients for tonight's business!"

After saying that, Lin Xiuyi quickly slipped into the storage room at the back.

Maori Kogoro was stunned: "Xuyi, you traitor..."

"By the way, Kogoro praised the clothes that Fujimine had altered yesterday for being beautiful!" Lin Xiuyi popped his head out and added.

"Xiao~Go~lang!" Kisaki Eri's face darkened as she gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.

"Sorry, I..." Maori Kogoro laughed dryly and backed away from the door. "I didn't expect Fujimine-san would alter your work clothes. By the way, Eri, why don't you take a look at that dress first? Fujimine-san's craftsmanship is really good. The work clothes look beautiful after the alterations..."

"Snapped!"

A piece of fried milk was thrown out by Kisaki Eri, hitting Maori Kogoro right between the eyebrows. The milk paste inside flowed out, and Maori screamed in pain.

"It's hot! So hot! So hot..."

Seeing that Kisaki Eri was so angry about the work clothes, Fujimine Yukiko finally understood why Lin Xiuyi had a sullen face after seeing her altering her clothes yesterday!
Thinking that she had to get the consent of Kisaki Eri to work in the izakaya, while the glasses girl's attention was on Maori Kogoro, Fujimine Yukiko ran to the kitchen, took something from the cooking table, and then pushed open the door of the storage room.

"Give me the key to the room on the second floor!"

"what?"

"Of course I have to convince the girl with glasses!"

Lin Xiuyi took out the key, but before he could ask clearly, Fujimine Yukiko snatched it away, then came to Kisaki Eri, pulled her up and walked out of the house.

Eri Kisaki didn't expect Yukiko Fujimine to do this. She didn't react for a moment and was pulled into the living room of the second-floor room by her.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Eri Kisaki was really angry, and she grabbed Yukiko Fujimine's arm and pressed her on the table.

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Girl with glasses!" Yukiko Fujimine cried out in pain while raising the bag in her other hand. "I sincerely apologize to you."

"What's in the bag?" Kisaki Eri relaxed her grip slightly.

"You'll know if you open it and take a look!"

Kisaki Eri snorted coldly, released her hand from Fujimine Yukiko, then opened the paper bag and took out the contents.

"Is this... work clothes?"

Hibiki Eri stared at the clothes in front of her in a daze. Compared to the simple work clothes in the izakaya, this one was obviously much more beautiful and elegant.

The previously bulky waist of the work uniform has been slimmed down. Although it's still pure white, the front now features two lively kittens fighting over a ball of yarn. Cloud-shaped decorative lines have been added to the collar and cuffs...
