I found a life simulator.

"Can you stop being so pedantic?" Su Ze complained. "Alright, alright, it's from the wife's perspective! It's from the perspective of the wife's superior!"

It's also from the perspective of a jealous shrew!

Su Ze silently grumbled to himself.

Still, it's pretty cute.

"Hmm." Erina Nakiri nodded. "Then, according to the procedure, we should start with cutting meat. Can you do some fancy knife skills right now?"

Every industry has its share of showing off skills.

A singer's skillful performance is about demonstrating extraordinary vocal range control. A truly skilled singer, even when showing off, brings a refreshing and pleasant feeling to the listener. An unskilled singer, on the other hand, is just showing off for the sake of showing off; they may be very impressive, but the experience for the audience is not pleasant.

Given Su Ze's current skill level, he could force himself to show off his knife skills.

It just uses up some ingredients.

Even after several attempts, you might only be able to achieve a perfect, flashy effect once. But Su Ze doesn't need to force himself to achieve that effect; when cooking, he should focus more on the taste.

A good idea suddenly popped into Su Ze's mind.

After having Erina Nakiri film him cooking from a first-person perspective, the two of them can hand the food over to Mashiro Shiina to eat, and then film Mashiro Shiina's tasting perspective.

However, we'll have to ask Mashiro's opinion for that.

If Mashiro doesn't want to.

Then let's ask Mr. Kirisu next door for help. It'll be a good opportunity to bring my own cooking to visit Mr. Kirisu at his apartment.

“No need to show off.” Su Ze said, “After cooking, just film a video from the perspective of someone tasting the dish, and you’ll know whether it’s good or not.”

"Enough talk, let's shoot the video," Su Ze gestured.

“Then I’ll pick up my phone,” Erina Nakiri said. “Should I communicate with everyone in Chinese?”

Erina Nakiri speaks Chinese. In addition to Chinese, she also speaks English, which she learned while growing up abroad.

As for Chinese, one reason is that Su Ze speaks Chinese, and another reason is that China is a very famous country in the culinary world. Erina Nakiri has many events that she needs to hold in China and visit restaurants there.

If you don't learn Chinese, communication will be very difficult.

"Whatever you want," Su Ze said after thinking for a moment. "This video is mainly about explaining my cooking process, so it doesn't matter what language you use to communicate with me."

"Okay, here I go!" Erina Nakiri turned on her phone and started recording. "Eh, it's been a while since I spoke Chinese, so I'm a little rusty. Ze, is there a problem?"

Su Ze listened.

Apart from a slightly heavy accent, there are no problems.

But, don't Japanese people always have some kind of accent no matter what language they speak?

"Why don't you speak to me in Japanese?" Su Ze couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Erina Nakiri's slightly accented and somewhat cute Chinese.

“Using Chinese to communicate with domestic audiences is a sign of respect, isn’t it?” Erina Nakiri said after a moment’s thought.

"If you encounter anything you don't know how to say, just speak Japanese." Su Ze didn't want to make things difficult for Erina Nakiri, but he respected her wishes.

“It’s okay!” Erina Nakiri said from the side, “No problem!”

"Now I'll start cooking. Camera, focus," Su Ze instructed. He slowly picked up the knife and began to cut the meat step by step. Although slow, he cut very finely and steadily.

Now, knife skills are the key to success.

But slow and steady wins the race.

Each has its advantages.

The two chatted and cooked at the same time, while Erina Nakiri held up her phone and zoomed in and out on the recording angle.

For better food photography.

After the dish was cooked, a close-up shot of it was taken.

The dish Su Ze made is a popular dish, with pork belly as the main ingredient. It is best to use three-layered pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat. The resulting meat is sweet, tender, nutritious, and melts in your mouth.

That's right.

It's just the simplest braised pork.

Su Ze's specialty is cooking these kinds of home-style dishes.

Su Ze can cook Western food, but he doesn't like to eat it.

I sprinkled some chopped green onions on top.

"This is the most common meat dish, braised pork belly," Su Ze pointed and said. "It's also the simplest dish to make, but although it looks simple, it still requires some control over the heat and time."

He then went on to explain several key points, pointing out how to make braised pork so that the flavors of the fat and lean meat would blend together better.

Shiina Mashiro had already followed the smell into the kitchen.

Erina Nakiri quickly pulled the frame away to prevent Mashiro Shiina from being captured on camera.

"It smells so good!" Shiina Mashiro sniffed, her eyes fixed on the braised pork. "Ze, is dinner ready?"

"The rice is still cooking, it should be ready soon," Su Ze replied. "Could you, Mashiro, be a food critic and give me your opinion on my cooking?"

"However, it involves recording videos for online viewers. If you mind, you can refuse."

Shiina Mashiro thought for a moment, but couldn't understand what it meant.

However, she was photographed quite a few times at the art exhibition, so she didn't care.

“Okay.” Shiina Mashiro agreed quickly.

"Let me formally introduce you, my fans and classmates. This is my friend Shiina Mashiro, whom I met in Japan," Su Ze said, pointing to her. He dared not mention that Shiina Mashiro was living with him, nor did he dare say that she was his cousin. Otherwise, it would be easy to find out about Nakiri Erina's background by following Mashiro's identity.

But if it's a friend you met in Japan...

It's also possible that they are classmates or pen pals. Fans wouldn't investigate as meticulously as detectives.

A brief introduction.

Shiina Mashiro picked up her own chopsticks and couldn't resist teasing the braised pork on the plate.

"It's very hot, wait a bit before you eat it!" Su Ze reached out to stop her, afraid that Zhen Bai would burn her tongue if she took a bite. In England, there are more cold dishes and relatively fewer hot dishes like this.

Suze was worried that Shiina Mashiro would eat hot food as if it were cold.

Burning your tongue is a terrible feeling.

......

Chapter 52 A Female Classmate

The braised pork on the table was steaming hot.

Su Ze also used the limited amount of vegetables to make some vegetarian dishes as a side dish.

The rice in the rice cooker should be cooked. Su Ze saw Erina Nakiri holding her phone, so he got up and ladled two bowls of rice over. Su Ze asked, "Are you going to stay here for dinner?"

“I won’t stay overnight tonight.” Erina Nakiri answered another question, guessing what Su Ze was thinking. “I’ll just have a small bowl here.”

Su Ze brought over another small bowl of rice, having roughly estimated Erina's appetite.

This amount is so small that eating a little won't have any effect.

"Can we eat now?" Shiina Mashiro was very innocent. If Su Ze didn't let her eat, she wouldn't eat. She kept waiting, but her eyes were fixed on the braised pork on the table.

"That's about enough, be careful not to burn your mouth." Su Ze took care of Shiina Mashiro as if she were a child.

Shiina Mashiro picked up a piece of braised pork.

She mixed the braised pork with the rice in her bowl, buried the pork inside the rice, and when the sauce and rice were mixed together, she picked the pork out again, gently blew on it to check the temperature, and then opened her cherry-like mouth to take the first bite.

She didn't swallow it whole; after all, she was just testing the temperature. Although Su Ze treated Shiina Mashiro like a child, Shiina Mashiro wasn't really a child.

Shiina Mashiro knew the pain of burning her mouth, so she bit into the edge of the lean meat for her first bite. The temperature was just right, and she showed a 'comfortable' expression.

No reviews.

Shiina Mashiro would pick up her chopsticks, put them down, alternate between rice and braised pork, occasionally picking up some vegetables, and slowly savoring her meal.

quite a while.

Shiina Mashiro placed the chopsticks on the bowl.

"Thank you for the treat," Shiina Mashiro said.

In the past, Shiina Mashiro would never say such things after finishing her meal. She would just put her bowl down without a word and go watch TV or go back to her bedroom to draw comics. However, after being taught by Suze that it was a basic courtesy to respect the chef, she gradually got used to it.

"How does it taste?" Erina Nakiri asked expectantly.

The video recording is nearing its end. The process of preparing the food, the expressions of the guests while tasting the food, and their final evaluations should constitute the entire video recording process.

but.

Shiina Mashiro is not a eloquent person.

"good to eat."

This is the answer that Shiina Mashiro provided.

She couldn't say anything more, after all, she wasn't a professional judge.

"Wouldn't it be better if I added a few more comments?" Erina Nakiri thought to herself.

"I want to eat this every day," Shiina Mashiro added.

Erina Nakiri's smile faded as she smiled.

A knife plunged straight into Erina Nakiri's heart. She had hoped that Mashiro Shiina would offer some feedback, but this feedback was something Erina Nakiri absolutely could not accept.

The most outrageous thing is...

Shiina Mashiro said those words unconsciously, not intentionally, without thinking about the hidden meaning behind them.

The blows broke Erina Nakiri's defenses, making her feel rather uncomfortable.

No.

If I don't say something soon...

Do they still want their status?

“Then come to our house often from now on,” Erina Nakiri said after coughing, defusing all the problems with a single sentence.

This is the status of the lady of the house!

Su Ze rubbed his forehead.

He admired Erina's jealousy; she actually managed to outwit the air. Shiina Mashiro's words clearly didn't have any hidden meaning; she simply said it was delicious and she wanted to eat it every day. But Erina, with her corporate-level understanding, firmly shut the security door on him.

But that’s fine too.

It's not wrong to escalate the issue to an extreme.

"Can I stay at your house?" Shiina Mashiro asked seriously. Staying at her brother-in-law's house meant she would have delicious meals every day, and her brother-in-law would take good care of her and even point out things she hadn't thought of before.

They are seriously helping her plan her comics.

"No!" Erina Nakiri started arguing like a child, unusually abandoning her ladylike demeanor and uttering words purely out of emotion.

Su Ze sighed and rubbed his forehead again.

This was the first time he had ever seen Erina Nakiri suffer such a crushing defeat.

No.

It should be said that Shiina Mashiro's thinking is different from that of normal people, and it is precisely this abnormal thinking that allowed her to completely control the relatively normal Nakiri Erina.

However, while the video was still being filmed, Su Ze couldn't preach anything in the video, as that would only complicate the situation and cause unnecessary misunderstandings for the viewers.

That concludes today's video.

"See you next time, everyone!"

Su Ze waved at the camera, signaling Erina Nakiri to turn off the video. Just as he was about to start lecturing, there was a loud knocking at the door.

The knock on the door once again forcibly interrupted Su Ze's spellcasting attempt to preach.

I walked quickly to the apartment door.

When I opened the door, a girl with glasses was standing in front of me.

"Hello, is this the udon noodles you ordered?" the girl with glasses asked, holding up the packaged noodles in her hand.

Su Ze's memory is quite good.
