"Ok!"

Nakiri Managi finally couldn't hold back her tears and ate while crying. She felt like she had never cried so much in her entire life. Nakiri Senzaemon took out a tissue and wiped Nakiri Managi's tears, and said with a smile, "That kid Shiraha went all the way to save people, so it's only right that I come this time. Be careful not to choke."

"Ok!"

Everyone ate while watching this scene. There is nothing more wondrous than emotions. Time can take away many things, but the bond between bloodlines is something that cannot be taken away.

When a family sits down for a meal together after a long time, do they suddenly realize that the people around them are no longer young and beautiful?

Though youth has faded and beauty has faded, the care and warmth remain forever...

Don't let this change be discovered too late...

Chapter 188 What Does Eating Require a Calm Mind? (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer and Cerberus were also somewhat moved by the scene. For some reason, ever since Lucifer became a mature woman, she would always immerse herself in the role whenever she saw a family like this.

Lucifer was deeply moved at this moment, but she didn't say anything. She just shook her head and continued to chat happily in the group chat. For her, chatting happily in the group chat was still better.

"Phew! I've never had such delicious porridge before!"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Lantabi's words. It was just a bowl of porridge, and even Nakiri Managi had already finished her second bowl. If one word could describe it, it would be "satisfied."

It's satisfying, and there's an extra anticipation for the main course that follows; nothing is more important than a good start.

At this moment, after eating two bowls of Meiling porridge, Nakiri Managi's complexion regained some color, and she was no longer the pale, malnourished woman she had been before.

Nakiri Managi really wanted to eat the fruit salad on the side, but she had to control herself. She hadn't eaten for a long time and had just drunk two bowls of porridge. If she couldn't resist the fruit salad, she might not be able to eat her main meal. After all, her stomach had become very small from not eating for so long.

Bai Yu could roughly guess what they looked like inside the shop. He chuckled and said softly, "Indeed, humans are the most interesting..."

At this point, Bai Yu was about to start cooking. Chinese cuisine emphasizes color, aroma, and taste, and unless it is very light, it cannot be separated from oil. And when you think of oil, you will inevitably think of five cooking methods: roasting, frying, braising, deep-frying, and stir-frying.

And what best embodies the feeling of family reunion is always a dish full of passion. Stir-frying is naturally the first choice. The aroma that comes out when the ingredients are stir-fried in the pan is exactly what a family wants to smell when they are together.

Chinese cuisine is elaborate, but also easygoing. It's not like French cuisine, which requires rinsing your mouth with water first, then appetizers, main courses, desserts, and specific wines. It is indeed very complicated and elegant, but there's no need for that.

Chinese food doesn't care about appetizers or main courses. As long as a group of people gather at the table, those who can drink will be poured a glass of wine, and those who can't will be poured a glass of beverage. They can then clink glasses and chat amidst the aroma.

It's true that Chinese cuisine is very particular about serving dishes. There must be fish and meat, meat and vegetables, hot and cold dishes, soup and dry dishes. This is probably the essence of how Chinese dishes are served.

Bai Yu actually really enjoys cooking Chinese food. Not only does it offer more room for creativity, but some dishes are truly made for lazy people. They are incredibly simple and can be prepared in just a few minutes.

While Shiraha was methodically preparing food in the kitchen, things were much more lively outside. Nakiri Managi had become quite talkative, and for some reason, Rantaba was able to chat with Cerberus.

As for Lucifer on the other side...

"Huh?! You two are serious?"

"Huh? That big jerk doesn't know how to refuse, but are you two really serious?"

"Oh~ I'm just interested and want to know more...wait, I think I've said that before..."

That's right, Lucifer was being bombarded with questions by Dekkera and Klaqi. Lucifer could tell that the two girls had ulterior motives, but what could he do? They would have to come here often in the future, and even stay for a while from time to time. That big jerk was the kind of guy who wouldn't refuse.

Thinking of this, Lucifer sighed and silently muttered to himself, "Damn man!"

Lucifer certainly wouldn't dare say this to Bai Yu's face, otherwise she would have already turned the tables and become the master. How could she have fallen so low that she had to hide even her tail for fear of being seen by Bai Yu?

While discussing future political matters with An, Nakiri Managi occasionally glanced at the three men who were having a lively conversation. She whispered, "An, what do you think of this idea?"

After a moment's thought, An said, "Lady Managi, I think this is the best solution. I absolutely support it, and Klara and Deklara will be very excited. As for Rantabi..."

The two turned their heads in unison and looked at Rantabhi, who was already very familiar with Cerberus. They shook their heads helplessly. Rantabhi was the youngest among the executives, so he was naturally more favored.

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "Then it's settled. After we finish eating, I'll tell Mr. Shiraha that the four of you will accompany me back to Nakiri... well... let's just go back to WGO and resolve everything within ten days, then come back."

An nodded and silently made a mental note. Just as An was about to say something, everyone heard a boom sound.

It wasn't an explosion, but the sound of a gas stove being turned on. Before everyone could react, they heard the roar of flames, followed by the sound of stir-frying.

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Eh? Looks like your meal tonight is going to be pretty exciting~"

Klara looked at Lucifer with the same respect one would give a senior, older sister. She quickly asked, "Lucifer, you said our meal tonight will be very exciting, why?"

Lucifer casually said, "Bai Yu rarely stir-fries. I've only seen it once. The aroma is like that of a wild beast, very aggressive."

Before anyone could say anything, they heard something being thrown into the oil pan, making a sizzling sound, followed by a series of stir-frying sounds.

Looking at the kitchen glowing with firelight, Nakiri Managi felt hungry again. To be precise, everyone felt hungry. Never underestimate the power of imagination. When you think of a certain scene, your imagination will automatically embellish it.

Time passed by, and night had completely fallen. Outside the shop, it was quiet. Inside, a group of people chatted and laughed, occasionally glancing at the kitchen that was constantly making noise. A gentle evening breeze blew, and the sound of wind chimes played a harmonizing role in the lively atmosphere that was not annoying.

Dirk stretched and said, "Mmm~ This is truly an unprecedentedly relaxing and comfortable feeling~"

Everyone nodded, and Joichiro said with a smile, "This is the magical place I told you about; even though it's lively, it still feels warm and cozy."

At this moment, Managi Nakiri was also slightly intoxicated by the soft lighting, the melodious sound of wind chimes, the cool evening breeze, and the subtle fragrance in the shop. Time was peaceful, the night was serene, and her restless heart slowly calmed down in this warm atmosphere...

Just as everyone was enjoying the peace, a variety of terrifying aromas wafted from the kitchen, like ferocious beasts unleashed, directly assaulting everyone's nostrils and hearts.

Calm down? What's there to be quiet about while eating!

Chapter 189 Burning Yet Reassuring (Please Subscribe)

Humans are the apex predators in the biosphere because they possess the highest intelligence and the most rational evolutionary path. However, no matter how much you evolve, humans have always been extremely vulnerable in the face of ferocious beasts, even when unarmed. (Normal human)

At this moment, the ferocious beast formed by the fragrance ruthlessly ravaged every place here, and the fragrance made everyone feel as if they were about to float away with the fragrance.

Only after Bai Yu drizzled chili oil, sprinkled sesame seeds, and added cilantro to a bowl of long, jade-like dishes did he officially declare dinner ready. Looking at the six covered dishes remaining on the food cart, Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Chinese food is definitely more interesting~"

After saying that, he took a few exquisite wine jugs from the side and placed them on the food cart before slowly walking out. By this time, everyone was already itching to try the aroma that had only appeared for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.

tread, tread

Footsteps sounded, and everyone turned to look at the doorway, or more precisely, at the man who was slowly walking in with a gentle smile. Bai Yu, who was pushing the cart, seemed like an angel bringing good news, but his unhurried pace was more torturous than the fragrance, like a demon tempting people to fall.

The dishes were placed on the table one by one, and the sound of the bowls hitting the table was like a pebble falling into a calm lake. When the last and largest porcelain pot was placed on the table, the dishes were finally ready.

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head as he watched Nakiri Managi staring intently at the dishes before them like a little girl, saying, "Well then, everyone, your dishes are all prepared, but some dishes aren't quite ready yet, so I'll open the lids for you~"

Everyone nodded. Bai Yu placed his hands on the lids of the porcelain pot and the earthenware pot. As the lids were lifted one by one, the beasts that had been hiding stood up again.

The aroma hit Nakiri Managi like a ton of bricks. The rich fragrance made her want to eat right now. Ever since she was allowed to eat, Nakiri Managi had entered a state where she wanted to eat anything she saw.

At this moment, on the table, the cold noodles, Dongpo pork, Longjing shrimp, twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and shredded tofu have all revealed their contents. As mentioned before, there are both cold and hot dishes, meat and vegetables, and rich and light flavors.

gurgling...

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the last large porcelain pot. They all heard a sound, and Bai Yu, without any intention of keeping them in suspense, slowly removed the lid and said softly, "Finally, boiled fish..."

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone finally saw the true face of the fish in the white porcelain pot: bright red broth, slices of pure white fish, and bright red chili peppers on top. The deliciousness was perfectly showcased by the enticing aroma. This was truly the king of beasts at this table...

Seeing Nakiri Managi staring blankly at the crimson and white, Bai Yu smiled and said, "Alright, now we'll move on to the final step. Please wait a moment."

Nakiri Managi swallowed hard and said, "Mr. Shiraha, is this dish not finished yet? It smells amazing!"

Bai Yu said gently, "No, no, no~ It's not fragrant enough. You can think of it as a little magic trick~"

Upon hearing this, Nakiri Managi looked at the plate that Shiraha had given her earlier with a puzzled expression. Shiraha knew that Nakiri Managi thought she was going to use so many plates, so she didn't say anything and went back to the kitchen. Those few seconds felt like more than ten years to everyone. Staring at a table full of delicious food but unable to eat it, who could resist? No one could.

Shiraha was holding something that was making a crackling sound. Yukihira Joichiro and Dojima Gin immediately knew what Shiraha was about to do. Shiraha whispered, "Ms. Nakiri Managi, please lean back a bit, be careful not to fall!"

"Oh!"

"So, the final step: infuse it with soul~"

As Bai Yu spoke, he poured all the boiling hot oil from the pot into the pot of boiled fish in front of him.

Sizzle....

When that sound rang out, the already vibrant red boiled fish gained even more color, and a rich aroma instantly filled the air. If it was the beast king that had stood up when the lid was lifted, then now it was it that had attacked...

Bai Yu took a bunch of cilantro from a bowl and threw it in, then said softly, "Now it's complete. Well then, all the dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. This was exactly what they had been waiting for. To be honest, the moment the aroma burst forth, they were already a little overwhelmed. The spiciness and sourness were always mouthwatering.

Bai Yu sat quietly beside Lucifer and said softly, "Are you feeling better?"

Lucifer nodded and then whispered, "I'll go with you wherever I go from now on..."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head. Lucifer hadn't explained why he had become like this, only saying that he was somewhat frightened. However, since Lucifer didn't want to recall it, he didn't press the matter further, after all, Lucifer was no ordinary person.

The boiled fish on the other side seemed to sense that everyone's eyes were on it. Whether it was to show off or not, it relied on the hot oil from before and recklessly displayed its fierce flavor.

However, this only made Nakiri Managi and the others even more excited and even more eager to conquer this beast king.

I wonder if this boiled fish and the boiled sliced ​​pork and boiled beef next door are related. The three of them are almost identical, except that the ingredients are different. One is pork, one is beef, and one is fish.

Three different textures of meat, three different taste sensations, but it has to be said that brothers are brothers, they are equally delicious and equally wild and unrestrained.

Most importantly, it seems they all made a deal with the devil, selling their souls to the scalding hot oil, to the sizzling heat, exchanging their souls for powerful strength, and for a second chance at spiritual sublimation.

Every dish that dares to sell its soul possesses a deliciousness that cannot be described simply as delicious. The instant scalding hot oil is poured over it, the soul returns—the soul of this beast awakens…

As night falls, the neighboring street is brightly lit and bustling. Inside the restaurant, the lights are soft and the aroma is irresistible. A simple yet warm family dinner awaits, both comforting and reassuring.

Chapter 190 An Discovers Something Abnormal, Lucifer the Husband-Protecting Maniac (Please Subscribe~)

Boiled fish in water—these three words sound simple and unpretentious, but only when you see its true appearance will you realize how wrong you are. It is an exceptionally ferocious beast.

Boiled fish completely departs from the normal way of cooking grass carp, abandoning mediocrity and resolutely throwing itself into the fiery world. The characteristic of Sichuan cuisine cannot be separated from one word: spiciness.

The spiciness is so addictive, it makes you sweat profusely, and even when your nose is running, you won't want to stop eating it. That's the magic of Sichuan cuisine's spiciness. But it's not just dry spiciness; it's spicy with a fragrance, which is what makes it so irresistible.

Grass carp is different from carp in that it is soft and tender. Grass carp has firmer flesh and fewer bones. Although the flesh is firmer, this is only relative to carp. In fact, fish meat is always soft, but grass carp has a better and more amazing texture.

The bright red broth is ample proof of the dish's spiciness. Both the hot oil from before and the layer of oil floating in the pot demonstrate the large amount of oil used in this dish. Here, the pure white fish stands out, resembling a crane among chickens.

The fish meat is smooth and tender. Taking advantage of its delicate nature, it greedily absorbs the spiciness of the broth. The fish itself is not to be outdone, greedily absorbing the surrounding broth, making its white body turn a tempting crimson.

When you pick up the fish with your chopsticks, the fish doesn't fall apart; instead, it wobbles slightly like pork or beef, making you fear it might break in two at any moment. So you quickly bring it to your face and put it in your mouth, only then do you feel safe.

The first thing you taste when you bite into the fish isn't its natural aroma, but rather its spiciness and irresistible fragrance. It's a delicious flavor that instantly excites your tongue. The fish is smooth and tender, and as you chew, all the broth it absorbed bursts out. At this moment, the freshness of the fish and the spiciness of the broth are just these two flavors, but that's enough to get you excited.

Just one bite and you'll fall in love; just one bite and you'll understand what irresistible deliciousness truly means.

Boiled fish with bright red chili peppers and emerald green cilantro only has four ingredients in total. Even if Bai Yu adds some bamboo shoots, it only has five: bean sprouts, fish, chili peppers, cilantro, and bamboo shoots. But with just these few things, it has a deliciousness that can't be matched by dishes made with dozens of ingredients. There's always a feeling that if you add something else, it will change the flavor.

The fish is fresh and smooth, soft yet elastic. The bamboo shoots are refreshing, but the spicy flavor makes them feel a bit off. Perhaps the only mediocre ingredient is the bean sprouts, as they only taste like the broth, but the broth itself is absolutely delicious.

Oily but not greasy, spicy but not dry, numbing but not bitter, with tender and smooth meat—this is the essence of boiled fish. Boiled fish that has regained its soul: a piece of fish dripping with bright red broth, glistening under the light, placed on rice, eaten with the rice... ah...it's so satisfying...

At this moment, Nakiri Managi's fair face was slightly red from the spiciness. The other executives were the same, eating bite after bite without being able to stop. Even though it was so spicy that snot was about to run from their noses, they were reluctant to put down their chopsticks. They held a tissue in one hand and chopsticks in the other, their hands constantly gripping the food as if they were alive.

The three men on the other side weren't in much better shape either, all covered in sweat. Dojima Gin had already thrown his expensive suit and tie aside, and Yukihira Joichiro had also unbuttoned a few buttons on his chest and rolled up his sleeves. That's how you eat Sichuan food—you have to keep telling yourself that you can handle the spiciness, that the taste is great, and that you can keep going!

Several grown men, sweating profusely, were eating the food in front of them, hissing and laughing. As mentioned before, spiciness is not a taste but a pain, but the spiciness is always accompanied by a scalding hot dish. Who can stand that? Nobody can! But it's precisely because they can't stand it that it's so satisfying.

Dojima Gin finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, sweating profusely, "Manager Shiraha! A cold beer, please! I can't handle this and the baijiu!"

Yukihira Joichiro also shouted, "That's too cunning! Gin! Manager Shiraha! I'll have a drink too!"

After they finished speaking, they both looked at Senzaemon Nakiri. The old man snorted and said, "Young man! Give this old man a glass of juice!"

"Whoa~" x2

"Hahaha~ cough cough cough!"

Ranta, always eager for a good laugh, burst out laughing, and naturally, choked on her food. Needless to say, the experience of choking on spicy food is indescribable—definitely a chemical-free way to induce tears (laughs~).

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head at the group of people, while Lucifer chuckled and said, "I'd like to try Sichuan cuisine sometime; it seems quite interesting..."

"Hellfire spicy?"

"I'll bite you, you believe me?"

"Don't believe it~"

"Hmph! You stinky man!"

Bai Yu was right. Lucifer was just talking. She wouldn't bite Bai Yu, and she wouldn't do anything that Bai Yu considered no different from acting cute. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable and terrifying. Just thinking about it makes my legs tremble.

On the other hand, of course she wouldn't be willing to do it, just like Tony Stark did before. I even imagined Lucifer tearing Tony apart. The new "husband-protecting maniac" isn't called that for nothing. (Tony: Don't mention it.)

"Cough cough cough cough! Mr. Bai... Mr. Bai Yu! Water... water!"
