After experiencing the initial panic, Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly calmed down and continued what he had left unfinished as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Terahaya, can I ask you to help me? There are some things that I need you to come over."
Watanabe Temple had already put his hands behind his back, knowing full well that he should just give up when he was ready: "No problem."
The kitchen of Sawada House is like most kitchens, with only two simple gas stoves and small household appliances.
The light in the kitchen is yellowish and warm, and if you look closely, there seems to be steam steaming in it, making it look even warmer.
The source of the heat seemed to be in the covered cooking pot, with white smoke billowing out.
······
White smoke?
A question mark slowly appeared on Watanabe Temple's head.
Although she hasn't done much housework, does it really emit white smoke when cooking soup?
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned a blind eye to this, and even quite naturally described the task for which he needed Terahaya's help.
"Ms. Terahaya, because the intervals between adding these vegetables are a bit short, I may not be able to do it alone." He looked at the pile of colorful vegetables on the chopping board with some sadness, as if he was worried about how to deal with it at two times.
Good them.
"I'm very sorry. I just told you to wander around as you please, but now I'm going to trouble you."
"It's okay." Watanabe Temple shook his head, "I'm happy to help."
"But how do Mr. Sawada plan to cook this soup?" she asked thoughtfully.
Sawada Tsunayoshi responded fluently: "Cook the chopped tomatoes under hot oil until cooked, add an appropriate amount of tomato paste, sugar, light soy sauce and oyster sauce, bring to a boil, and add the vegetables in the order they are arranged."
After saying that, Sawada Tsunayoshi also pointed to the orderly array of vegetables he had placed, which were all the results of his hard work just now.
"Oh, that's it. I didn't expect Mr. Sawada to be so good at cooking." Watanabe Temple's eyes were bright, and he suppressed the feeling that something was wrong in his heart just now.
Although Watanabeji has not cooked by herself many times, and the few cooks she did were forcibly suppressed by her best friend who banned her from entering the kitchen, this did not prevent her from feeling that Sawada Tsuna could recite a complete recipe.
Ji is very handsome! He also uses such professional kitchen terminology!
Well, it’s Mr. Sawada who can cook!
Men who can cook are so handsome!
Now Watanabe Temple's heart is full of yearning for the future and life - not only a glittering meal ticket, but even an excellent meal ticket that can cook for herself! She will definitely be very, very happy by then, right?
Full of such expectations, Watanabeji had already tied up his hair that was getting in the way, rolled up his sleeves, and joined in to help.
All she needs to be responsible for is peeling and slicing potatoes, cleaning and slicing mushrooms, and peeling and slicing ham, and... Watanabe Temple recalled what Sawada Tsunayoshi just said, since
It's tomato soup, so it also has tomatoes washed and cut into pieces, right?
She stretched her hand to the front of all the vegetables. Since it was the first one to be used, it would be placed in the first position...
Watanabe Temple had already come up empty.
?
Wait, where are the tomatoes?
Watanabeji held his head, which was not very awake due to a low fever, and looked around. After searching to no avail, he could only turn around and ask for help from Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was standing next to him——
"Mr. Sawada, where are the tomatoes for the soup? I didn't find it."
Sawada Tsunayoshi was looking down and didn't know what he was looking at. When he saw Watanabeji turning around early, he subconsciously hid behind him: "Tomato?"
"Oh, tomatoes, I added tomatoes to the pot." He showed a very reliable smile.
"······"
Watanabe Temple subconsciously believed in the other party, but at the same time, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.
After Sawada Tsunayoshi and himself entered the kitchen... did he get close to the edge of the cooking pot?
no······
Then when did he put the tomatoes in? Could it be...
?!
Watanabeji turned around abruptly, his green eyes widening like round opals, looking at the pot that was emitting more smoke with some horror.
Wait a minute!! Its white smoke seems to have turned into black smoke?!
"Mr. Sawada! When did you put the tomatoes in?"
For the first time, the special assistant lady who knew things well lost her composure in front of the target.
The case was solved.
Looking at Sawada Tsunayoshi sitting on the sofa dejectedly like a exposed big cat,
Watanabe Temple sighed deeply.
She threw the burned pot into the trash can along with the unknown black coal-like object inside, and then sat down next to the big cat Sawada.
The other party felt the movement of the sofa sinking in, and his whole body exploded in shock, more like a cat that had done something wrong.
"Miss Terahaya?" Sawada Tsunayoshi turned his head to look at her and spoke with a hint of probing.
His appearance at the moment was no better than that of Temple Hayao. Watanabe Temple had just returned to a wet state, while Sawada Tsunayoshi turned into a drowned rat for the first time today.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Sawada, if you don't know how to cook, don't force it." Watanabe Temple had already remembered the smoke alarm that had just made the two of them wet.
I have absolutely no way of understanding why the president of Clam Company, who is famous for his maturity, reliability, gentleness and connotation... would have such a side.
It was also her fault that her observation ability failed. Watanabe Temple sighed again in her heart.
It seems that because the strategy process went too smoothly, I was a little too relaxed in front of Mr. Sawada - too much!
Otherwise, she should have guessed that a person who knows how to cook could memorize the recipe by heart and use vague words like "appropriate amount" to describe the dosage of spices!
Watanabeji had already handed one of the dry towels he had brought to Sawada Tsunayoshi.
In the past, no, even half an hour ago, she would have definitely found a way to come over and help him clean his hair. Such a private and intimate interaction can definitely be ranked in the "Top 10 Most Heart-Thrilling Scenes"
》Among them.
but now,
Ms. Watanabe, who has always been confident in her social skills and beauty, began to doubt herself.
-
"I'm very sorry." Sawada Tsunayoshi took the towel and apologized again in frustration.
To be honest, Sawada Tsunayoshi himself didn't understand what he was doing. It seems that the most common word he said to Miss Terahaya today was "I'm sorry", right?
If Li Baoen or any of his friends knew what happened just now, they would probably roll on the floor laughing.
He didn't know if it was because of the bonus of returning to his former residence, but he always felt that he was a little too relaxed when he was with the special assistant - too much!
This made him look like his kid self who would mess up everything.
He had promised to make soup for the sick special assistant, but suddenly he remembered the fact that he had skipped the "Mafia Home Economics Class" countless times, so he could only urgently contact Nana's mother who was traveling outside.
Fortunately, Nana's mother answered the phone in time before getting on the plane, so she had a detailed recipe for reference.
Sawada Tsunayoshi has made great progress compared to the past. One of the manifestations is the growth of memory ability - he quickly memorized the entire content of the recipe, and after discovering new problems, he went upstairs to find a special assistant.
Miss help——
Without more than two people, how can we ensure that every vegetable is processed and put into the pot at the right time? Judaiime, who is a skilled cook, naturally thought.
Although he almost exposed the fact that he couldn't cook in the process, Sawada Tsunayoshi still relied on his reputation and image as a reliable boss to successfully deceive his subordinates who trusted him.
But he forgot one thing——
After adding tomatoes and an 'appropriate' amount of seasoning, water still needs to be added to the soup pot.
After successfully getting rid of the title of "good-for-nothing Tsuna" for many years, Sawada Tsunayoshi, who thought he was mature enough and steady enough to be a qualified leader, also began to doubt himself.
at last,
