When Vodka called to order roast duck and fruit, Chi Fei arrived at the kitchen counter late and squatted down to dig out a pile of spices from the cupboard.
Soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, strawberries...
Gin stood up and went to the side, picking up a bag of spices and looking at it from time to time.
The food made by Lark is delicious, but you still have to be careful.
Takatori Yannan also came forward, and his eyelids jumped as he watched Chi Feichi continue to turn over, and brown sugar, white sugar, pepper powder, and fennel seeds were found one after another.
"Brother, I'm going to Aidedo Park to pick up something in half an hour," Vodka said after making a phone call, and went to watch the crowd. He turned to explain to Takatori Yano, "Brother Gin said that the weather has been hot recently and I have no appetite. Why not Come to Lark for something appetizing.”
Explain carefully that they come here for a reason.
Takatori Yannan: "..."
The air conditioner in this room is turned on like it's hiding a corpse. If a group of people stay in the room for a whole day, will they be so hot that they lose their appetite?
If he doesn't believe it, don't lie to him.
"But Luck, do you need so much condiments for tonight's dinner?" Vodka helped Chi Feichi put the condiments on the table.
"Season the dandan noodles." Chi Feichi explained.
Gin turned and leaned against the cupboard, "It goes well with raki. Sometimes raki with a strong spice flavor is also suitable as an aperitif."
Chi Feichi continued to dig out the flour and followed Gin's words, "Well, it's completely different from Gin, a wine with a cold and narrow taste."
Vodka and Takatori Yano were not surprised by this, and by the way, they lowered their sense of existence.
Isn't it just to attack each other's code names? It's normal. If these two people attack each other personally, that's called "speak evil words". They can't afford to offend them anyway.
An hour later, the roast duck and a dish of 'book box tofu' were put on the table, with a dandan noodles for each person and a fruity sparkling drink for each person.
There are not many dishes, but they are so exquisite that it makes people feel like it is a big meal.
Chi Feichi put a bowl of bitter melon soup on the table and sat down aside.
Vodka took the initiative to get the dishes and chopsticks and looked at them, "Uh, this..."
"Bitter melon." Gin said.
Takatori Yannan's face instantly stiffened.
He had heard of this stuff but had never eaten it before.
Someone once selected vegetables as the most unpalatable vegetables in Japan.
Chi Feichi reached out and took the chopsticks offered by Vodka, "It's cool and relieves heat. It's suitable for eating when the weather is hot."
Takatori Isao finally couldn't help but asked, "The air conditioning in the room is almost as good as winter, do you still feel hot?"
"No, but it's hot outside." Vodka replied matter-of-factly.
Takatori Yannan: "..."
Yes, it's very hot outside, but they don't go out. What does the heat have to do with them?
The four of them sat together to eat, and after clearing the table, they dispersed and left.
Chi Feichi rejected Takatori Yano's offer to send him to pick up the car, took the bus to Ginza, and met Mouri Kogoro who asked him out for a drink.
Mouri Kogoro was wearing a blue suit for his daily work and stood on the roadside with two men in suits and ties. After seeing Chi Feichi, he hung up the phone and waved to Chi Feichi, "Feichi, this way!"
Chi Feichi put away his phone and walked forward, saying greeting, "Teacher."
The corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched slightly, but by now, he had almost gotten used to it. He introduced with a smile, "Come on, Fei Chi, let me introduce you. This is Tojo, the program planner of Nippon TV's Tokyo department. gentlemen……"
"In Shimotojo Yuji," a man who looked to be in his early forties and a little fatter hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands to shake hands with Chi Feichi, and smiled with crow's feet, "I have admired Mr. Chi for a long time, and I finally met him today. !”
"Hello." Chi Feichi responded politely.
He didn't know this person, but Rimai TV Station cooperated with THK Company, and the TV station was a well-informed place, so it wouldn't be surprising if the other party knew about him.
When Tojo Yuji let go of his hand, the younger man also stepped forward and extended his hand, and took the initiative to introduce with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Chi, my name is Fukawa Yu, I am Mr. Tojo's assistant. I have been working at THK Company and Nippon TV Station for a long time. When there is cooperation, Mr. Tojo and I want to meet you. We originally planned to call Mr. Odagiri tonight, but he said that he is busy recently, so we can only meet another day."
"Hello." Chi Feichi shook hands with Fuchuan Yu.
Odagiri Toshiya has been really busy recently, and the thing he left behind is the acquisition of the agency where Yoko Okino is present.
However, due to some tricks, this matter cannot be made public until the acquisition is completed.
"Okay, okay," Mouri Kogoro smiled, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk first!"
Tojo Yuji looked at his assistant, "Fukawa has already reserved a place..."
"plz follow me!"
Fuchuan Yu understood immediately, turned around and led the way into a high-end club, walked to the front desk, chatted with a middle-aged woman with a quiet temperament, and was led to the reserved box by the woman.
The interior of the club was brilliantly decorated, and a group of beautifully dressed young girls passed by in line, bowing and greeting middle-aged women in a well-behaved manner.
When Mouri Kogoro saw a girl with big wavy hair, his eyes lit up, he looked crazy for a second, and he couldn't move. Seeing this, Chi Feichi finally understood why Mao Lilan often clenched his fists and looked like he wanted to talk to him. Dad practiced his posture and understood why there were no followers of Mao Lilan and Conan tonight.
When he came in, he saw many posters of the store's "Sakura" on the wall at the door, and knew that this was a store related to the custom industry. It was the kind of store where girls would drink, chat, and sing, and ambiguous behavior was allowed. But no actual relationships are allowed...serious shops.
In Japan, this kind of store is indeed legal to operate.
The people who are responsible for managing and operating this kind of store are actually human beings. Middle-aged women can understand it at a glance and ask girls to help deliver wine to the private room.
A group of people arrived at the box first. The lights in the box were dim and orange. The floor was covered with a thick light brown carpet, surrounded by soft wallpaper. There were brown leather sofas around the table in the middle. A projection was hung on one wall, and there were There is a karaoke song request machine.
After the woman waited for a group of people to sit down, she put the two books she was holding on the table and said with a smile, "Mr. Tojo, Qiane happens to be here today."
"I also plan to stop by to see her," Tojo Yuji replied with a smile, placing a booklet on the table in front of Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi, the cherry blossoms here are very gentle!"
Chi Feichi felt like he had fallen into a group of old gangsters. He took the book and flipped through it, then turned to the middle-aged woman and asked, "Are there any girls who are good at singing?"
"Yes." The middle-aged woman bent down, turned over the booklet in Chi Feichi's hand, and pointed out the six girls in a gentle voice.
The application requirements for 'Sakura' in this kind of store are not low. They either have good looks, are good at talking, or have graduated from a well-known university and have talents.
Chi Feichi randomly selected a girl who didn't look too noisy and specialized in music. Fukawa Yuya immediately selected one. The two young people were like well-behaved guests.
However, Tojo Yuji obviously would not let Chi Feichi be his guest, and said with a hearty smile, "I should have thought that Mr. Chi would be interested in a girl with this talent. If her singing ability was noticed by Mr. Chi, Maybe I can become a professional artist, that would be a really lucky thing!"
Chi Feichi calmly explained, "I just want to hear someone sing."
Don't get involved with him, please treat him as a guest, thank you.
Tojo Yuji turned to greet Mouri Kogoro again, and talked with Mouri Kogoro about things with a smile.
When the girl came over, Chi Feichi probably understood that Nippon TV wanted to invite Mouri Kogoro to Okinawa to participate in a program. The purpose was to have a discussion with Noshi, the professional baseball player currently known as the 'scoring king'.
Although a baseball player and a famous detective are not compatible at all, the planners probably want to bring the two popular figures together and use their popularity to increase the ratings, but Tojo Yuji is very good at saying...
"Because a powerful player is one of the few baseball players in the baseball world who can use his brain to play," Tojo Yuji said with a smile. "He can see through the opponent's mind and defeat him with one strike. This is not the same as being able to see through the murderer's methods and defeat him with one strike. Do you look like Mr. Mori who speaks out sharp reasoning? The audience will definitely look forward to an intellectual confrontation between you!"
"So that's it, hahaha..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and laughed for a moment, then took out a baseball from his pocket and handed it to Tojo Yuji, "Oh, come to think of it, I have another unkind favor. , I hope that the staff of Nippon TV in Okinawa can help to ask the Nose players to sign it and give it to me when I arrive in Okinawa, because I am not sure whether the Nose players will be available after the interview shooting. It’s not convenient to chase him for an autograph, so…”
"Of course it's no problem. Someone from the TV station will go to Okinawa tomorrow to check how the preparations are there. I'll ask them to bring the baseball there." Tojo Yuji agreed simply, took the baseball and put it in his briefcase, "Wait a minute When Mr. Mori arrives, they will hand over the signed baseball to Mr. Mori."
"Then I'll trouble you." Mouri Kogoro smiled.
"No, the people at Okinawa Nippon TV Station are also looking forward to Mr. Mori's visit. They have already booked a club and want to have a drink with Mr. Mori. Moreover, it is a very charming restaurant!" Tojo Yuji smiled. , turned to Chi Feichi and asked, "By the way, will Mr. Chi also go with Mr. Maoli?"
"Of course!" Maori Kogoro smiled and put his hand on Chi Feichi's shoulder, leaned close to Chi Feichi's ear, and whispered, "If Xiaolan knew that I went to Okinawa alone, she might want to follow me again, then Conan The kid will also come with you, so why don’t we go together, and the same goes for you, don’t bring your kid with you, it will be troublesome to bring them along..."
Chi Feichi nodded calmly, "Okay."
To put it simply, what his teacher means is: let’s not take girls and children with us. You have to cover for me when necessary, and the teacher will take you out to play with girls.
He had nothing to say, Mouri Kogoro was the teacher, and Moori Kogoro had the final say.
"Then it's settled!" Mouri Kogoro nodded with satisfaction, took back his hand and sat up straight.
Well, that's good. Sometimes I think about it, his apprentice is quite cute...
"But is Mr. Mori a fan of powerful players?" Fukawa Yu asked curiously.
"Well..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and laughed, "Forget it, guess it."
Chi Fei belatedly saw that Mouri Kogoro was hiding the truth from him, so he decided to expose it maliciously, "My teacher's wife is a fan of the Panthers, a team with powerful players."
The smile on Mouri Kogoro's face gradually disappeared.
He retracted his previous thoughts. His apprentice was not cute at all, he was just a nasty little brat...
