Now the girl turned to her for help and nodded slightly.
"I understand, but Kitagawa-san, do you want to learn how to cook? I can teach you while I cook slowly."
"Hey, that's not necessary. After all, the time is too short."
"Anyway, I'm leaving it to you this time!"
"Okay, but it's better if you do it. I'll tell you the steps and you can make it. Don't doubt that guy's taste."
Kitagawa Umi thought for a while and nodded seriously.
"Is it really that powerful? It seems to make some sense."
"After all, he eats the lunch box you brought him, Yukinoshita-san, almost every day."
Yukinoshita Yukino also thought of this, and besides feeling a little excited, her delicate little face also softened a little.
......
"Xiao Shi, the tea is ready."
Shirakawa-shi watched them leave with a smile on his face, then sat on a chair, took the cup handed to him by Yuigahama Yui, and spoke with a faint smile.
"Oh, that's good."
"It seems that you have adapted to the job of a maid, Tuanzi. I am very pleased."
If the other girls were present, they would definitely be speechless at his shameless words.
However, Yuigahama Yui didn't mind at all. She walked to Shirakawa Shiki with a smile, bent down slightly and smiled.
"Really? Did I do that well?"
"Of course, I'm much more aware than the other two of them, and I do better than them."
Hearing this, Yuigahama Yui was secretly delighted, and the joy and excitement on her little face were obvious.
"Then sit down, Xiaoshi, let me fan you..."
"He's so kind to even take the initiative to consider me."
When Shirakawa Shiki was about to fall asleep while chatting with Yuigahama Yui, Yukinoshita Yukino and Kitagawa Umi came back.
"The food is ready, Master."
Once again awakened by this sweet and pleasant voice, Shirakawa Shiki stood up instantly.
"So fast?"
"It's just a dish, how long can it take?"
The corners of Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth slightly raised, revealing a very subtle smile.
"Or is it that someone is so engrossed in playing the maid role-playing game that they've forgotten the passage of time?"
Shirakawa Shiki, who was in a very good mood, did not bother with Yukino's aggressive words, but smiled innocently.
"Then let me try them and see if the two little maids, Umi and Yukino, can satisfy my taste buds."
His random nickname-giving behavior successfully earned him four angry rolls of the eyes.
Shirakawa-shi stared at the two dishes in front of the table, glanced at them casually, and occasionally nodded and smiled.
"The presentation is very delicate, and the color is very appetizing. I didn't expect that Hai Meng's dish is almost the same as Xue No's."
Hearing the praise, Kitagawa Umi's eyebrows subconsciously curved, appearing very excited.
But the next sentence made her feel uneasy again.
"But I don't know what it tastes like."
"It shouldn't be a problem. It will satisfy you, Master."
She is now familiar with the issue of addressing others, and she is very proficient in it.
"Is it......"
Shirakawa-shi hurriedly picked up a piece of fried shrimp, bit it in the middle, and chewed it slowly in his mouth to savor the taste.
"How about it?"
It’s hard to tell from his expression whether it tastes good or not.
This made Kitagawa Umi take a few steps forward subconsciously, his face a little nervous, but more filled with anticipation.
"Hmm... This taste is really hard to describe."
When Kitagawa Umigumi heard these words suddenly, her face turned pale, her expression became a little stiff, and she muttered to herself in loss.
"As expected, I'm not suitable for cooking."
"Even with a cooking expert like Yukinoshita around, I still can't cook anything delicious. It seems I don't have any talent for cooking at all."
Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui were also quite surprised. They looked at the fried shrimps which looked delicious.
He couldn't help but look at Shirakawa Shiki suspiciously, and it seemed that he wanted to try it himself.
Shirakawa Shiki, who was savoring the food with his head down, glanced upwards and looked at Hai Meng's charming face full of self-pity.
He couldn't help but smile, his expression somewhat helpless.
"Haimeng, what are you talking about?"
Staring at Shirakawa Shiki with a rather resentful look, Kitagawa Umi said unhappily with her lips pouted.
"Didn't you say, Master, that the taste is indescribable..."
"When I say it's hard to describe, it's not a derogatory word, but a compliment."
"I don't have a large vocabulary, so I'll just try to say a few."
Having said that, Shirakawa Shiki couldn't help but pause, pondering for a while before speaking.
“Golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, the flavor is outstanding, and the chopped green onions on the fried shrimp coating are the finishing touch.”
“I think this is already a very advanced level.”
"Eh? Really?"
Kitagawa Umi listened to his endless praise and felt secretly happy.
The resentment and unhappiness on the little face disappeared, and a bright and radiant glow gradually appeared on her pretty face.
Under the strong emotional contrast, it gives others the illusion of seeing the face of God.
Seeing her reveal some unsure doubts, Shirakawa waved his hands.
"I don't have to go out of my way to please my little maid."
"Aren't there fried shrimp here? You can try it for yourself and see that I'm not exaggerating."
"Yukino, you guys should try some too."
With hesitation in his heart, he was invited by the Shirakawa-style restaurant.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui also immediately picked up a piece and put it in their mouths to taste it.
“Indeed, it’s delicious.”
"Hai Meng made it so well! This is the best tempura I've ever had."
Listening to the three people's praise, Kitagawa Umi felt quite embarrassed the next moment.
She raised her hands repeatedly, modestly expressing that she did not dare to take credit for it.
"This is all thanks to Yukinoshita-san's good teaching. I'm not that good."
"Yukinoshita-san, this time it all depends on you."
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and spoke with her lips slightly opened.
"I was just giving some verbal comments. You were the one who served this dish. I only did a small, insignificant thing."
“So, this is your work, your cooking.”
Obviously, Kitagawa Umi was not expecting her to suddenly become so serious, and she felt helpless.
"Well, if you say so, Yukinoshita-san, I still think you're amazing."
"I know my level, but I didn't expect that by improving a few small steps, I could make such delicious dishes. It's amazing."
Seeing Hai Meng suddenly approaching him, he opened his arms and rushed towards him.
Yukinoshita Yukino quickly flashed and hid behind Shirakawa Shiki, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to escape in time.
"What do you want to do, Kitagawa-san?"
"Huh? This is proof of friendship between girls."
"I don't need it. It's too hot. This suit is a bit hot to begin with, and it doesn't fit well with you so close."
"OK then."
Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't appreciate it, Kitagawa Umi frowned, but didn't take it too seriously.
"Xiaoxue is still like this, huh, why does she seem to dislike us?"
Yuigahama Yui's face also looked a little sad when she saw Kitagawa Umi return empty-handed.
