Chapter 92: Today I want to treat you to authentic Mapo Tofu~

Naoki Nagayama stood by the dining table, full of doubts.

The house that usually looks very clean,

Is it so dirty when you clean it seriously?

Under the bed, under the cabinet, behind the TV, these don't need to be said. After all, they haven't been cleaned much.

Why is the kitchen so unclean? It hasn't been used much, right?

After moving into this home, most of the time the fire was used to boil water.

Not to mention stir-frying, there wasn't even any heating of food. Either it was takeout, or I went out to eat directly.

Are single men particularly attractive to dust and oil stains...

The helpless Naoki Nagayama could only bury his head and work hard, striving to clean it up before the guests came.

On the street after exiting Waseda Station, two young girls were walking towards the residential area.

Japanese girls start learning to dress up from junior high school.

In high school, they are already dressed up.

Both of them are fluffy Seiko heads, plaid shirts with knitted wool coats of different colors. Akina wears a skirt and Akiho wears jeans, carrying a small bag, showing youth and vitality.

"Akiho, are you sure it's along this road?"

"Rest assured, Tsuruko said that after getting off the station, walk along this street for 10 minutes, and then turn right at a fork in the road."

"But I've been walking for almost 10 minutes, and I still haven't seen a 6-story apartment building."

"Maybe you'll see it at 15 minutes. Hora, isn't that it?" Nakamori Akiho pointed to a 6-story apartment hidden in a group of buildings on the front right, which was inconspicuous.

"It's really hidden inside."

The two said, turned to the right, walked along the fork to the apartment building, entered the gate of the apartment, and went up to the third floor along the stairs.

"Turn left out of the stairwell, it should be this room." Nakamori Akina looked and rang the doorbell.

Naoki Nagayama, who was cutting vegetables in the room, heard the ringing of the doorbell.

It was time. It was almost 11:30. Naoki Nagayama, who had just finished cleaning, was wearing a floral apron and busy in the kitchen.

The apron given by the boss when buying kitchen utensils, if a hostess wore it, it should be very suitable, but now wearing it on Naoki Nagayama, it makes people want to laugh for no reason.

Didn't take off the apron, but went directly to open the door.

Sure enough, two young and beautiful girls stood outside the door.

"Akina-san, Akiho-san, you are here~"

"Naoki-san, good noon~" X2

Looking at Naoki Nagayama wearing a floral apron, both were amused. Akiho couldn't help but say:

"Haha, Naoki-san wearing a floral apron, it feels so inconsistent..."

"Come in quickly, slippers are on the shoe rack."

Naoki Nagayama welcomed the two in.

"Stop talking, this is the first time I've used this apron. I didn't expect the style given at the beginning to be a floral apron."

"Naoki-san, it looks like you have a domestic temperament..." Nakamori Akina said this, and then handed over a snack gift box, "This is a gift."

"Hai, too polite~"

What is domestic temperament? Is it the temperament of a housewife...

Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to reply, put down the snack gift box, and took out the soda from the refrigerator:

"It took a long time to walk over, right? Drink some soda first." Then continued to be busy in the kitchen, "You can also rest in the room. The TV remote control is on the sofa."

Going to a friend's house for the first time, I am always curious. The two little girls are of course like this. While holding soda, they walked around the room.

However, looking at it at a glance, it was basically understood.

"Naoki-san cleaned it very cleanly~" Nakamori Akina sighed while looking.

"Of course, knowing that the two young ladies were coming, I spent a lot of time cleaning~" Naoki Nagayama replied while cutting green peppers.

"Naoki-san, how big is this house?" Nakamori Akiho asked.

"About 20 tsubo."

"Eh, it looks bigger than the actual one~"

"Probably because there are fewer furniture and the like, and there are fewer things."

"Also, it looks a bit like a hotel house." Nakamori Akina's voice moved from the second bedroom to the living room, "Does only Naoki-san live here?"

"Of course, only Tsuruko has lived here for a few days before."

"Is that so......" Little Akina poked her head in the kitchen, "What is Naoki-san doing?"

"It's Chinese food. Today I want to treat you to authentic Mapo Tofu, but you have to wait a while." Naoki Nagayama poured the green peppers into the pot, and with the hot oil, it made a sizzling sound, and a pungent spicy smell also came out. The green peppers of this era seem to be a bit spicy too.

"Is it beef with green pepper?" As the aroma of beef came, little Akina leaned closer again, "Does Naoki-san need help?"

Stir-fried a few times, Naoki Nagayama put the beef with green pepper on the plate: "Wait a moment, there are 2 more dishes."

"Hai~"

"Akina-san, if you don't mind, please put this plate on the table first, and set the bowls and chopsticks~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't be polite and ordered them.

Nakamori Akiho also came over at this time and started preparing with Akina.

And Naoki Nagayama took advantage of this time to put the sweet and sour pork in the other pot on the plate.

"Another dish is ready~"

"Hai~"

The last dish, Mapo Tofu, can be said to be one of the Chinese dishes that Japanese people like most.

"Akina-san, Akiho-san, can you eat spicy? Put more or less?"

"Please make it spicier~" X2

That's right, it seems that Nakamori Akina likes spicy food, but Nakamori Akiho also likes spicy food? Should I say that it is worthy of being a family?

Spicy-loving family?

Then, following the experience of authentic Mapo Tofu he learned online in his past life, he sautéed the green onions, garlic, spicy bean paste, and fermented black beans until fragrant, added water and other seasonings to bring it to a boil, and finally added the tofu, minced beef, and chili powder. He simmered it over low heat, constantly stirring the tofu in the pot, and after thickening the sauce, he added the garlic sprouts and the remaining chili powder...

On the way, the two little girls were attracted by the fragrance: "Naoki-san, the Mapo Tofu you made seems to be different from other places?"

"This is the authentic Sichuan Mapo Tofu method, specially learned~" Naoki Nagayama said shamelessly.

However, the Mapo Tofu in Japan is indeed a bit different from that in China. In order to better cater to the local taste, the spiciness is less, and it is lighter. Later, there is even sweet Mapo Tofu... It is simply evil.

"Naoki-san is really amazing." Nakamori Akiho looked at Naoki Nagayama's skilled thickening technique and couldn't help sighing.

"Hahaha, living alone, of course, you have to practice your cooking skills~"

Naoki Nagayama saw that it was almost done, sprinkled with the last garlic sprouts,

"Akina-san, Akiho-san, prepare to eat..." ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
