Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
Since the entire house had been cleaned by Akemi Miyano, Fujiwara Yuu didn't have to worry about any dirty spots in the kitchen. He took out the newly bought kitchen paper, fished out the lamb chops that had been soaked in cold water, and after absorbing the moisture inside, he directly heated the oil in the pan.
He has his own way of cooking meat stews. For example, he would not simply throw lamb chops into a pre-mixed sauce and stew them directly. He is used to frying the surface of the meat to a perfect charred surface before stewing it.
Meat dishes cooked in this way will have a richer meat flavor.
Fujiwara Yu took out the fried lamb chops and set them aside. He added a small piece of butter to the frying pan filled with lamb fat and poured in the pre-chopped garlic cloves, chopped onions and carrot pieces.
After stir-frying until the onions turn brown, you can add sifted flour. This is to make the soup thicker when stewing the lamb chops and ensure that the soup can hang on the chops.
Then add the pre-beaten tomato puree, and after stir-frying the sweet and sour aroma of the ingredients, pour in half a bottle of dry red wine just bought from the supermarket. Turn the medium heat to high heat and let the alcohol evaporate under high temperature conditions.
"I feel that even without adding lamb chops, this soup would be delicious with pasta." Miyano Akemi already believed that Fujiwara Yu's cooking skills were not inferior to hers, at least he should be better than her in Western cuisine.
Fujiwara Yu poured the prepared hot water into the pot, added appropriate amounts of sea salt, crushed black pepper, sugar, and light soy sauce to season, and while carefully placing the fried lamb chops in the pot, he replied:
"If I were making pasta, I probably wouldn't choose lamb chops. I would add shrimp and chili powder to make a spicy tomato and prawn pasta."
"That sounds great, I'll try it next time."
After putting the rosemary into the pot, the job was done. During the stewing process, Fujiwara Yu did not waste any food. He handled the avocado skillfully and made a simple avocado sauce and shrimp salad.
After half an hour of stewing time, the rice cooker also issued a time bomb-like warning sound. A small amount of oatmeal rice was added to the fragrant rice, which not only increased the nutrition but also added a chewy taste.
Akemi Miyano helped put the tableware on the dining table. This was the first time the two of them had a formal meal at home. The previous few times she had brought desserts and had never cooked.
I don’t know if it’s because the atmosphere is a little awkward after they became a couple, or because the temperature in the room is a little high today, but after Fujiwara Yu sat down, he didn’t dare to look forward. Just a glimpse of Miyano Akemi wearing disposable gloves would bring up a sweet scene in his mind.
Well, it turned out that the behavior was quite destructive to him, and his mind was full of that scene for a while.
Fujiwara Yu pursed his lips and forced himself to focus on the delicious food in front of him. At this time, he could only use other things to divert his attention.
The blanched shrimp retain their firm texture after being soaked in ice water. Adding a few drops of lemon juice to the avocado sauce instantly adds a refreshing sour flavor to the salad, making it a perfect appetizer.
Miyano Akemi usually likes to eat salads, and this appetizer successfully captured her taste buds. She put prawns into her mouth one after another, and her appetite, which was not big to begin with, was almost filled.
Seeing this, Fujiwara Yuu quickly picked up a lamb chop covered in soup with a pair of tongs and reminded him with a smile:
"Lamb chops are better eaten hot. Come and try them."
"The appearance and smell alone are no different from those in the restaurant, so the taste will definitely be good."
Miyano Akemi grabbed the lamb chop with her disposable-gloved hands. She didn't deliberately curb her appetite just because her boyfriend sat across from her. Instead, for the sake of appearance and table manners, she opened her mouth just wide and took a bite. To her surprise, the lamb chop was so tender that she nearly tore the meat off the bone with just one bite.
The rich red stew sauce dances a waltz between the teeth. The sweetness of onion and the spiciness of black pepper are just right. Paired with the refreshing sourness of tomato puree, the layered taste makes the tender lamb chops reach the maximum sublimation.
Fujiwara Yu also specially prepared a small pot of melted cheese on the side. You can enjoy the delicious duet by wrapping the lamb chops with cheese. The rich cheese and meat dishes are 200% compatible.
In just five minutes, two lamb chops and half a bowl of rice were eaten. Miyano Akemi began to worry about her body management. If she continued to eat like this, her weight would probably soar rapidly.
"Fujiwara-kun, I'll cook from now on."
"Huh? Is my cooking not tasty?"
Miyano Akemi shook her head. She looked at the lamb chops still piled up like a mountain on the table and smiled helplessly.
"It's not that it's not tasty, it's too delicious. I'm worried that I won't be able to control my appetite and that overeating will be bad for my health. Plus, the portions you made are so huge, enough for four people."
"I'm sorry, I've been staying at my friends' house for a while now, and they both eat a lot, so I doubled the portions of the dishes out of habit." After hearing Miyano Akemi's praise, Fujiwara Yuu felt a little proud. It turned out that learning to cook was a very wise and correct decision.
"No wonder you do so much. I almost thought you treated me like a pig."
After enjoying the meal, the two stood side by side in front of the sink and began to wash the dishes, working together quickly.
Just when Fujiwara Yu was wondering how to send Miyano Akemi back to the hotel in the evening, he noticed a suitcase placed at the entrance of the stairs leading to the second floor. Wasn't this the suitcase he had left in the hotel? How did it get here?
