Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"I see."

Ginjo nodded, he had eaten a lot of paella before, and his wife only made such a subtle improvement to elevate the taste of the whole dish to a higher level.

It turns out that customized dishes at home are much more delicious than the same old popular products in restaurants.

"What kind of soup is this, Tomoko-san? It looks weird."

While Chie Hoshino was asking her wife questions, Ginjō was looking down at the mysterious yellow soup in the spoon.

The soup was rather cloudy and had no heat at all.

“This is gazpacho.”

Matsumoto Tomoko spoke to her with a smile, and it could be seen that the lady was in a very good mood today.

"Cold vegetable soup? Can soup be cold?"

Chie Hoshino stared at the bowl of soup in front of her with an incredible look on her face.

"This seems to be a specialty of Spain. I found the recipe when searching for soup to go with paella on my phone."

"It seems that the summer there is very hot, so they have this soup to relieve the heat. I think it is just right for the current weather in Tokyo."

"Come on, drink some and try it."

The lady urged with sparkling eyes.

"So that's how it is, so magical."

After saying this, Chie Hoshino put the spoon into her mouth.

The other people also started to taste it out of curiosity.

It is sweet and sour, appetizing, fresh and refreshing, and the cool feeling seems to instantly offset the heat in the body.

The part that looks cloudy is actually softened bread, and its texture is similar to gluten.

When combined with various vegetables, it becomes something similar to a mixed dish.

The soup has the sweetness of vegetables, and the chopped bell peppers provide a sour taste.

Steak and paella have strong flavors, so a refreshing cold soup is a good way to connect the two main courses.

“Is there any garlic in this?”

Chiaki Hoshino savored the taste in her mouth and then asked her wife.

"Well, I only added a little bit in there as a base flavor."

"Qianqiu's sense of taste is really sensitive. You can tell at a glance that she has a talent for cooking."

Tomoko Matsumoto praised her generously.

"Thank you, Sister Tomoko."

Chiaki Hoshino gave a shy smile.

"Is there any garlic? Why can't I taste it?"

Chie Hoshino took several sips in succession, opening and closing her little mouth, as if she wanted to taste something different.

Unfortunately, such subtle and delicate things were completely beyond her expertise, so she had to give up after trying a few times.

Compared with her, Chiaki Hoshino's cooking talent seems to be more outstanding.

Ginjo cut the steak and ate the meat, munched on the paella to enjoy the taste of the sea, and savored the flavor of the exotic cold soup.

This is truly a dinner that can make one's body surge with endless energy.

“Every dish is delicious.”

"Although mom's cooking skills have always been great, it feels like she has improved so much in just a few months."

“It really tastes better than what a professional chef can make! It’s absolutely delicious!”

On the first night Matsumoto Sachiko returned from vacation, she felt infinite satisfaction.

"Because I've learned a lot of new recipes recently, I can cook for you every day in the future."

"As long as you like, I can make it for you."

The wife reached out her hand and gently stroked her daughter's chubby cheeks.

If she were alone, Tomoko Matsumoto probably wouldn't have the energy to prepare various dishes every day.

However, it was because of Ginjo's arrival that she rekindled her passion for cooking.

Thanks to this, her craftsmanship has made great progress in the past few months.

"Yeah, that's great, long live summer vacation!"

Matsumoto Sachiko happily expressed the thoughts of every student.

Several people enjoyed the wife's dinner to their heart's content, and a happy atmosphere filled the whole room.

Although there was only one new person, Matsumoto Sachiko, the atmosphere seemed to be several times more lively than usual.

"By the way, Sachiko, your new hairstyle is really nice. It looks better than the one you posted on IG."

Chie Hoshino had almost finished eating and started chatting with Sachiko Matsumoto.

"Really? I hesitated for a long time when I first considered cutting my hair short, but luckily the barber is quite good and the result is quite good."

Matsumoto Sachiko shook her head gently, and her short black hair fluttered lightly with her movement.

"I was really shocked when I saw you post the photo."

"Why did you suddenly think of changing your hairstyle? Did you meet a boy you like at school?"

Chie Hoshino leaned out from the table with a hint of excitement.

"Huh? That's not the case..."

Matsumoto Sachiko shrugged, and her fair face suddenly turned red...

Chapter 208: Of course you have to dress up for a date

"It's okay, Sachiko. There are no outsiders here, right, Sister Tomoko?"

Chie Hoshino was in her usual gossipy form.

Of course, Tomoko Matsumoto is also very concerned about her daughter's emotional issues, but since her daughter usually doesn't talk about it on her own initiative, she doesn't dare to ask in detail.

Now that someone had asked for her, she might as well learn a thing or two from it.

"Really not, Chie-sister. If I had, I would definitely not hide it from you."

Matsumoto Sachiko twisted her body a little embarrassedly, her cheeks turned as red as strawberries, and her adorable appearance made Ginjo Sosuke fascinated.

"Is that so? It seems like the level of boys in your school is just as bad as that in our school."

Chie Hoshino curled her lips in disappointment.

"That's because Chie-nee already has someone she loves, so she talks about the boys in school like that."

Matsumoto Sachiko's straightforward eyes sparkled and a sweet fragrance emanated from her skin.

"Eh? What is Sachiko talking about?"

Chie Hoshino was hit by the boomerang she threw and was a little flustered for a moment.

"Hmm? That's what you said on the phone..."

Matsumoto Sachiko quickly seized the opportunity to strike back.

"Haha, alright, alright, I won't ask you any more questions. After not seeing you for a few months, Sister Sachiko has become much more capable."

Chie Hoshino smiled awkwardly. She had just wanted to gossip a little, but she didn't expect to be taken advantage of in the end.

Matsumoto Sachiko also gently covered the corners of her mouth, revealing a somewhat cute expression.

"Chie-sister, are you getting too close?"

Chie Hoshino leaned out excitedly just now and didn't realize that the distance between them was now very close.

"Ah, that..."

After this was pointed out, she quickly distanced herself.

"I just wanted to say that you might not be able to hear me because you are too far away."

Chie Hoshino made a far-fetched excuse and quickly shrank back.

"Um, Sister Tomoko, could you please make another steak?"

She scratched her cheek and spoke to hide the strange atmosphere.

"No problem. We still have a lot of stock. Do you guys need more?"

Matsumoto Tomoko stood up with a smile and asked them.

"Then I'll have another one, too."

Yincheng responded, as expected, the madam’s delicious food is always delicious.

Matsumoto Sachiko and Hoshino Chiaki waved their hands to indicate that they were full.

Tomoko Matsumoto turned back to the kitchen, and then she heard a bang, which should be a whole piece of beef falling on the table.

"It's a good thing you're with me, Sousuke, otherwise it would seem like I'm a big eater."

Chie Hoshino smiled and patted Ginjō's arm.

"You're a big eater, and your appetite is not proportional to your height."

Ginjo said casually.

"Ah, Sousuke, you!"

Chie Hoshino's mouth bulged visibly.

The other two people at the table couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After dinner, everyone helped the wives clean up the table and the kitchen.

Ginjo and the Hoshino sisters then left early. After all, today was the first night since Matsumoto Sachiko returned, and the mother and daughter still had a lot to talk about, so they didn't want to disturb them.
