Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Matsumoto Tomoko said to Ginjō with confidence.

Sprinkle some radish leaves instead of celery on the white sauce that turns bright red at the last minute, heat the rolls, and dinner is ready.

"Wow, this dinner feels like it will warm you up, like a staple dish served in an exotic restaurant."

"I made more than I thought. We can eat the rest tomorrow."

"makes sense."

After all, we poured a whole can of tomatoes in it, so the ingredients increased.

"Don't worry, Sosuke-kun, it will be delicious this time~"

Because he had imagined white sauce stew at first, Ginjo felt quite disappointed, otherwise the reddish-brown stew in front of him did look delicious.

The chicken thigh meat was so big that it was doubtful whether one could eat it in one bite, but in the end, he stuffed it into his mouth in one go.

Yeah, it's softer than I thought.

Most importantly, the mild flavor of the homemade white sauce, the sourness of the tomatoes, and the rich taste of the cheese powder make the whole pot of tomato cream sauce and chicken a perfect match!

"what about the taste?"

"Ah, Sister Tomoko, this is definitely my favorite flavor!"

It was neither a white sauce nor a goulash, the mildly sour tomato flavor combined perfectly with the creamy stew.

Although it was the first time Yincheng had eaten this dish, the taste was so familiar that it seemed like he had tasted it a long time ago.

He tried just drinking the sauce and came to this conclusion.

"Am I right? I have now completely mastered the taste that Sosuke-kun likes~"

"As expected of Sister Tomoko, you should try it too, it's really delicious!"

"Okay, I'll start too~"

The skin of the chicken is very chewy, and the meat inside the skin is substantial and juicy. Although it is cut into a bit large pieces and not very easy to eat, it tastes very good.

Mini radishes are also very sweet. They are delicious not only when steamed, but are also more suitable for stewing.

Although the radish is not cut at all, it is very small in size, so you can eat it in one bite.

"Surprisingly, the potatoes weren't even cooked through!"

"Yeah, even though I said so much before cooking, it turns out that not cutting into pieces is the right choice."

Although Matsumoto Tomoko was talking, half of her consciousness was actually focused on the delicious food on the plate.

She put the radish into her mouth again and chewed it carefully, savoring the sweetness.

Next, my wife wanted to change the taste before continuing to eat the chewy chicken, so she put the potatoes, which had become the size of mini tomatoes, into her mouth.

did not expect--

"Sister Tomoko?"

Tomoko Matsumoto suddenly closed her eyes and put down the spoon.

"The elastic and smooth female skin replenishes moisture for the skin and sweeps away the fatigue brought by summer..."

"You can't help but reach out and touch the baby-like soft skin. Three super-powerful ways to improve skin quality that are no less effective than acne..."

"Hmm? What is Sister Tomoko suddenly talking about?"

"Oh, sorry, Sosuke-kun, it's the skin care column of the magazine, mainly the part about repairing the skin."

Madam, I feel that this is the only way to describe it now.

"So why did Sister Tomoko suddenly bring up skin care?"

"Because the potatoes this time taste really solid and delicate!"

"It tastes like mashed potatoes that have been sieved in circles, but we didn't do that, did we?"

"Yes, I am the one who is responsible for peeling the skin and I know it best."

Ginjo Sousuke nodded somewhat confused.

Is it because they are small potatoes, or is it because they were freshly picked that the flavor is so powerful?

Or is it because it has both that makes it so powerful?

Even Tomoko Matsumoto, who planted them herself, couldn't fully understand it. The only thing that could be confirmed was that these potatoes were super delicious.

The flavor is solid and sweet, not inferior to the rich taste of tomato cream sauce, but rather highlights the delicious taste of the sauce.

The last time I tasted such delicious sauce was just now in the teaching building.

Matsumoto Tomoko couldn't help but replay the scene from more than an hour ago in her mind, and her hot eyes instinctively turned to Ginjo Sosuke who was sitting opposite her...

Chapter 631

"Hmm? What are you laughing at, Tomoko-san?"

If Ginjo Sosuke hadn't reminded her, Matsumoto Tomoko wouldn't have noticed that the corners of her mouth had curled up into a charming curve while she was daydreaming.

"Ah, that, it's nothing. I just feel happy to see Sousuke-kun eating so happily."

"How about this? This is basically a stew made specifically for eating potatoes, right?"

"That's right. It's just potatoes, but the meat seems to have become a foil."

Although he couldn't accept it inexplicably in his heart, Ginjo's hand holding the spoon continued to move, as if some mysterious mechanics were working.

"You have to take it anyway, so just take it with painkillers."

Finally, the wife used a bun to wipe up the almost empty sauce, muttering to herself.

"Hmm? What painkillers?"

"Isn't that what's shown in the movie? The ketchup used for flavoring was eaten up, and in the end, the potatoes were eaten with painkillers."

Seeing Ginjō's incomprehensible expression, Matsumoto Tomoko opened her eyes wide and said.

"Hasn't Sosuke-kun seen The Martian?"

"No, is it telling the story of the universe?"

Yincheng has never been very interested in science fiction films. When he saw the movie poster, which was a photo of an astronaut, he simply chose to ignore it.

"The plot is surprisingly interesting. To put it simply, there is an astronaut who is left in a camp on Mars. He grows potatoes in the camp while waiting for rescue."

“Is that all the movie is about?”

Just listening to his wife's explanation, Yincheng really couldn't understand what the interesting point was.

Planting potatoes? So it's actually a sweet farming movie?

"After watching the movie, I suddenly wanted to grow potatoes. Compared with Mars, there is water and oxygen here, and the growing conditions are very good."

"So I went to a gardening store and asked Eiri for advice, and planted this potato called "Golden Baron" on the balcony, and that's the result."

Tomoko Matsumoto pointed to the potatoes floating in the stew sauce on Ginjo's plate.

“So there is such a reason.”

Ginjo Sousuke couldn't help but nodded.

"Generally speaking, you shouldn't use commercially available potatoes as seed potatoes, so I went to Yingli to buy special seed potatoes, because unsterilized potatoes can easily cause poisoning."

"Ms. Nakajima's shop really has everything. Ms. Tomoko has been so attentive from the beginning, so she can grow such delicious potatoes."

"It's okay, maybe I'm just lucky."

The wife smiled modestly, drank all the sauce on the plate, and then put the un-sauce bun directly into her mouth.

Although she spoke in a calm tone, she might actually be extremely happy inside.

"If you want to watch it, I can lend it to Sousuke-kun. I bought the Blu-ray disc."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Tomoko."

A movie about growing potatoes in a cozy space? Now that sounds like something interesting.

"Phew, I'm so full. I'll eat Sachiko's portion tomorrow."

Ginjo leaned back in his chair, resting a hand on his swollen belly.

"It's okay to eat slowly. There's no need to be so anxious."

Matsumoto Tomoko especially liked the way Ginjo ate with relish, as if all her efforts had been recognized by him.

"By the way, Sousuke-kun."

"What's wrong, Sister Tomoko?"

"Do you have time recently? If possible, would you like to accompany me to the farmer's market?"

"There are a lot of arrangements at school recently, I'm afraid..."

Seeing Ginjo's embarrassed expression, which seemed to make him feel that his girlfriend shouldn't have made such a request, his wife had to smooth things over and take back what she had said.

"That's right. Now is the season with the most activities in school. Let's talk about it later when we have time~"

"It should be fine by early next month."

"Next month?"

Tomoko Matsumoto's mind couldn't help but start to go blank.

Next month would only mean more than a week, but seeing how busy Ginjo was, she knew that it would be useless even if she continued to make requests.

"Well, it seems that there will be a large-scale event at school on Halloween. It will definitely be busy for a while. I will definitely make time to go out with Sister Tomoko in those few days."

"I was just saying that casually, don't take it too seriously, Sousuke-kun. Just focus on your own business."

Matsumoto Tomoko smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and Ginjo looked relieved.

"Just leave the dishes there after you finish eating. I'll clean them up later."

"I'll help clean up, too. Then we can watch that movie that Sister Tomoko mentioned?"

"Eh? Sosuke-kun, do you want to see it now?"

"Yeah, it would be boring to watch it alone, right? Sister Tomoko, can you watch it with me again?"
