Chapter 964

It would be a difficult thing to make it taste bad.

Natsume Chikage looked at this mapo tofu, thoughtful.

At this moment, he finally understood why Yamashita Yuujirou had the "Late Night Diner Notes" left by his father but still couldn't restore the true taste of this mapo tofu…

At this time.

Also because Natsume Chikage succeeded in making it on the first try.

The remaining ingredients were extra, and several boxes of tofu were still neatly arranged on the cooking table.

"You guys practice with these extra ingredients."

Natsume Chikage pointed to the remaining ingredients that could be made twice more.

Xiyuanji Qilai said happily:

"Mm-hmm, I also want to make some to take back for my dad to eat."

Xuecun Lingyin felt that Natsume Chikage, who didn't cook much, could make it so delicious, so the recipe must be excellent.

If she made it, she would definitely be able to make it so delicious, so she said softly, her tone carrying confidence.

"Mm."

However, when she and Xiyuanji Qilai made mapo tofu and started to taste it, they always felt the taste was wrong.

She frowned, her chopsticks stopped at her mouth.

Compared to what Natsume Chikage made, the taste was much worse, the spiciness was not balanced enough, and the saltiness was also lacking.

Xiyuanji Qilai was confused, tilted her head, her purple eyes full of confusion.

"Clearly our steps were the same as yours, Natsume-kun, why is the taste so different?"

She looked at her finished product, and then at what Natsume Chikage made before.

Xuecun Lingyin was also puzzled, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, looking at Natsume Chikage, her eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

"I want to know too."

Natsume Chikage couldn't explain, he couldn't say it was because of the equipment bonus, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Maybe… it's because you guys have already eaten a portion, and now that you eat it again, there's no feeling of the first encounter."

Hearing this, both of them blinked, their long eyelashes fluttering, feeling it made sense.

Psychological factors do affect the sense of taste.

At this time.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui arrived late, pushed the door open full of energy, and the door panel hit the wall and made a sound.

"Aoi is here!"

After she smelled the smell in the room, her nose twitched, excitedly, her eyes shining.

"So fragrant, you guys have already finished making it?"

She walked quickly to the cooking table.

"Can I taste it?"

She looked at the three portions of mapo tofu on the table.

"But… why are there three portions?"

"Could it be that all three of you made it?"

Xiyuanji Qilai smiled, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes."

Xuecun Lingyin asked, her eyes falling on Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's face.

"Aoi, the two of us and Natsume-kun each made one, why don't you try all three of ours and see which one tastes better?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui looked at the two girls' expectant expressions, especially those two pairs of sparkling eyes, her face stagnated, and then she laughed it off.

"Of course I can."

Saying that.

She started to taste, picked up her chopsticks, and started from the nearest one.

After eating for a while, the chopsticks moved between each portion, and she only felt that what Natsume Chikage made was the most delicious, the spiciness and fragrance were just right.

But after looking at the expectant eyes of Xuecun Lingyin and Xiyuanji Qilai, she laughed it off, her eyes turned, and she showed a bright smile.

"Everyone used the same recipe, I feel they are all about the same, and they are all very delicious."

After she finished speaking, she picked up another piece of what Natsume Chikage made.

Xuecun Lingyin and Xiyuanji Qilai heard this, and felt that Natsume Chikage's statement just now was indeed correct.

And at this time.

Natsume Chikage also noticed that a lot of time had passed, glanced at the wall clock, the pointer had already pointed to three forty, so he said.

"Then, I'm almost leaving."

He started to untie his apron.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was confused.

"Eh… isn't it not time for club activities yet?"

"And Natsume-kun, don't you not have to go to work today, where are you going?"

Natsume Chikage folded his apron and put it aside, explaining.

"Yasui-senpai and Araki-senpai invited me to go eat together or something."

Hearing this.

The three girls didn't have any special thoughts.

After all, they were playing shogi and eating together, it wouldn't be good for the three of them to go, so they all said goodbye to Natsume Chikage.

Xuecun Lingyin said goodbye.

"Then we will go to tutor your sister today."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui said anxiously, raising her hand.

"And me, tutor me too."

Xiyuanji Qilai smiled, her tone gentle.

"I'll teach you, Aoi-chan."

Natsume Chikage felt relieved, his eyes swept over the three, and finally fell on Xiyuanji Qilai's face.

"My sister, I'll leave it to you." ===== CHAPTER 965 =====
