Conan watched the boss add beef to the empty space on the lower floor of the freezer, "It turns out that the two pieces of meat used to make high-quality steaks were bought by this sister. They are very expensive."
Chi Feichi glanced at Conan.
The famous detective lives by the sea and is very lenient.
"Conan, you are really..." Mao Lilan was also a little helpless, but when she turned around and saw the red wine bought by Nishimura Sachiko, she couldn't help but sigh, "That bottle of wine seems to be very expensive. I really enjoyed it."
"Because today is special," Sachiko Nishimura smiled and rolled her eyes, "My boyfriend is coming over today!"
"Here, here is the beef and change you asked for," the store owner handed the packed beef and change to Sachiko Nishimura with both hands, and said with a smile, "Please keep it and welcome your next visit!"
"Yes..." Sachiko Nishimura took the steak and change and smiled softly at Mao Lilan, "Xiaolan, then I'll go back and prepare dinner. See you another day."
Mao Lilan nodded with a smile and watched Sachiko Nishimura leave, "It turned out to be dinner for my boyfriend. It's really nice..."
Conan looked up and saw the disappointment and envy in Mao Lilan's eyes, and said cutely, "Sister Xiaolan can do it for me."
"Then what you mean is that Sister Xiaolan doesn't have to cook food for us?" Haiyuan Ai joked with a cold face.
"Okay, everyone has a share!" Mao Lilan laughed again and turned to look at the meat in the freezer carefully, "But I really didn't expect Miss Sachiko to have a boyfriend. She is a very capable office worker, better than many Everyone is passionate about work, I thought she didn’t care about men at all..."
"Miss Nishimura comes to me on the 25th of every month to buy good beef," the shop owner said with a smile. "Although she and her boyfriend must be very busy at work. I have never met her boyfriend, but their The relationship seems to have always been very good. When she usually comes to visit, she will occasionally be worried about work matters, but every time she comes over on the 25th, she feels in a good mood!"
"So that's it," Mao Lilan was immediately happy when she heard what the boss said. Even if the two people didn't meet every day, their relationship wouldn't change. She pointed to the beef on the lower floor, "Then... I'll just buy this. .”
Conan's eyelids jumped when he saw the price.
The detective agency is going bankrupt...
Mao Lilan looked at the cut pieces of beef and was confused again, "Three adults and two children, three yuan is not enough, four yuan will leave some leftover, and it is not enough to make the lunch box that Conan and I will take to school tomorrow..."
"Two pieces are enough for the main dish, and the other staple food," Chi Feichi suggested, "Buy a few small fish, and I'll teach you how to make starry sky pie."
Well, he still wants to know if the Starry Sky Faction has the 'diarrhea' buff.
"Then two yuan!" Mao Lilan decisively chose to learn new dishes from Chi Feichi, raised her head and smiled at the boss, "Boss, please help wrap it up."
With Chi Feichi joining the process of selecting ingredients, the speed is obviously much faster.
Even if the funds are limited, as long as the recipe is broad enough, there is no big meal that cannot be prepared. Even if you buy fish bones, you can make fish bone soup.
The same goes for Western food.
For appetizers, you don’t need to consider fresh vegetables and fruits, which are expensive in Japan. Then buy potatoes and make potato salad or potato bacon cheese balls. For soups, avoid fresh vegetables and fruits. You can buy mushrooms and make mushroom cream soup. Drinks include juice. It doesn't go well with beer, but it's still drinkable. In addition, the detective agency also has flour for dessert, and the remaining ingredients for stargazing pie can also be used, so when I bought it, I found that the most expensive ones were the two pieces. Beef, everything else combined is not as expensive as a piece of beef.
Two hours later...
Hui Yuan Ai sat at the table, put down her knife and fork, and silently waited for the main course.
It tasted okay, but I had eaten a French meal at Suzuki Jirokichi's house in the morning, and she was tired of eating it again in the evening... Okay, she has become picky, but that's because Chi Ge used a vast ocean of recipes and taste. The excellent Chinese cuisine made her jealous.
Conan put down his knife and fork, feeling a little emotional.
Chi Feichi was definitely lazy today. What he was looking forward to was obviously Chinese cuisine...
Mouri Kogoro put the empty beer can at hand and opened another one, "It tastes pretty good!"
Mao Lilan stared at it with half-moon eyes, "It's really rare for someone to not complain about the lack of good wine to go with the good meat tonight."
Mouri Kogoro thought about the bill that was sent to him, and he didn't know that he had been sold by Conan. He coughed dryly and said, "Well, life is called a life with a little regret."
Seeing Chi Fei get up late, Mao Lilan also went to the kitchen to help serve the staple food, and would settle accounts with her father later.
Chi Feichi served the starry sky pie that he directed and made by Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan followed with a strange expression and brought out the dessert in advance, "Brother Fei Chi, did I do something wrong? It looks weird."
Chi Feichi sat down and started cutting the pie.
Because there were so many people, the pie was made larger. A ring of dead fish heads was very conspicuous, and the fish meat trapped in the cheese and other ingredients in the middle of the pie looked like the body of the fish was tumbling and struggling inside.
"No, it's pretty standard."
"You should stop comforting her. This is not looking up at the stars!" Seeing Chi Fei's late move, Maori Kogoro also took a knife and cut a piece and put it on the plate. He also cut a small piece to taste, "Fishy The smell is also very strong, and when combined with the flavors of other ingredients, it tastes weird..."
Conan and Haibara Ai took a taste and found that Mouri Kogoro was not talking nonsense this time.
In the past, when Chi Fei cooked fish, he would use spices or cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, retaining the texture of the fish, with very little fishy smell. Even fish dishes that retain the original taste feel more umami.
The pie in front of me is not hard to swallow, but it is not delicious either. It is far from what I imagined.
Chi Feichi also took a bite, "British food is like this. Sometimes people feel complicated when they look at it, and they also feel complicated when they taste it."
"It's British food..." Mouri Kogoro immediately stopped feeling strange. He remembered that Chi Feichi had complained that British food was unpalatable. Thinking of this, he instantly felt that the pie in front of him wasn't that bad at all. "It's better than Yingli's." It’s much better!”
Mao Lilan took a taste by herself and fell into a complicated mood. She was not in the mood to care about what Mao Li Kogoro said, "Brother Chi, can Mrs. Kana cook?"
She suspected that Chi Feichi had lived in this complicated mood every day during his childhood.
"Yes, she used to cook it at home," Chi Feichi took another bite. "But she thinks British food is ugly, so she always learns food from other countries."
Conan laughed inwardly, this was very British.
Haibara Ai also followed suit and ate the pie silently, falling into endless complicated emotions. "Before we played the cocoon game, the breakfast we had at Professor Moriarty's tasted much better than this. Is it because the taste was beautified or the ingredients were simplified? Has British cuisine changed too much?”
"The latter, breakfast in Britain is actually quite good." Chi Feichi said.
"Cocoon Game?" Mao Lilan was a little envious, "Did you still have breakfast with Professor Moriarty at that time? Although time passed quickly in the game and we didn't feel hungry, we kept chasing Jack the Ripper...and Although Shinichi admires Sherlock Holmes, he probably also wants to chat and have a meal with Professor Moriarty. If he knew, he would definitely be very envious!"
Conan's half-moon eyes: "..."
He was already getting jealous.
A group of people ate slowly, much slower than before.
The fishy smell of Starry Sky Pie was very strong. At first, I had a complicated mood when I ate it, but it became a little hard to swallow as I ate it.
To Chi Feichi's relief, it was right to reduce the amount of beef Mao Lilan bought. They probably considered that there was no other food to eat and their stomachs were not full, so the Starry Sky Pie was still eaten.
Although, in the past, a group of people were in a daze with complex and melancholy expressions after eating.
Mouri Kogoro was in a daze for a while, let out a long sigh, and said to Chi Feichi who was clearing the table, "Feichi, don't do this again."
Haihara Ai put away the knife and fork, "Have you finished the Chinese cuisine recipes? It doesn't matter if you eat the same dishes, they are all delicious."
"No, I'm just suddenly more interested in British food." Chi Feichi picked up a stack of empty plates and looked at the faces of the others before turning to the kitchen with the plates in hand, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Isn’t the starry sky sect really poisonous?
"No, it's not that I'm not feeling well," Mao Lilan followed with a stack of plates and smiled reluctantly, "It's just...a little bit..."
"I feel a little uncomfortable," Conan jumped off the sofa and ran to the table to help clear away the dishes, complaining, "Enjoying delicious food is a very happy thing. I probably had too high expectations, so I didn't get it this time. I can’t be happier about the delicious food that I can enjoy.”
"Brother Chi, just put the empty plates over there and I'll wash them." Mao Lilan rolled up her sleeves and put some water in the water. "By the way, do you and Xiao Ai want to spend the night at the detective agency? Yes, it's because Xiao Ai yesterday I saw the ghost figure late at night, so I think it’s better if you don’t go back for the time being...Xiao Ai sleeps with me tonight, and when Conan and I go to school tomorrow morning, it’s still too late to drop by Dr. A Li to pick up her schoolbag..."
Conan: "..."
Is Xiaolan afraid? Is she afraid that when she opens her eyes in the middle of the night, she will see a ghost standing beside the bed?
"I don't have any objection. It's okay to stay one night. I don't have to run back at night. I just need to call the doctor later and tell him." Haiyuan Ai took the knife and fork into the kitchen, put it in the sink, and looked at Chi Feichi. , "What about you? Brother Fei Chi, do you want to stay?"
"Okay," Chi Feichi agreed, considering that he had nothing to do in the past two days and it was convenient to observe whether others had diarrhea. "Tomorrow morning I will make breakfast for you and bring a lunch box to school."
Conan was wary, pretending to be a child, and said cutely to Chi Feichi, "Then I don't want British food, I want delicious Chinese food!"
If Chi Fei refuses to agree, he will act like a fool!
The recipe flashed in Chi Feichi's mind, "Should we eat soup dumplings or cook wontons..."
Conan: "Soup dumplings!"
Hui Yuan Ai: "Cook the wontons."
Chi Feichi nodded and locked the recipe in his mind, "Then eat corn and shrimp porridge and potato shredded pancakes."
Mao Lilan, Conan, and Haihara Ai's minds were stuck, and their minds were full of question marks.
