Chapter 14: The Eve of the IH Event

Several days have passed since the recording of the "Responsiveness Check" album.

In the recording that day, although Hatanaka, who appeared after Shiraishi, also showed a good performance, with Mingyu in front, he could only end up in despair.

In the subsequent second part of the live recording, the scene and camera were completely controlled by the host's four members, the Banana Man and the Ostrich Club.

The Nogizaka members, who are still newcomers to variety shows, are still unable to keep up with the pace of their seniors, so they can only passively accept and endure.

On this day, the members of Nogizaka were informed by Shidofu-san to hold a meeting.

The content of the meeting was about the theme of the next Nogizaka46 dogfight, "Nogizaka46's cooking ability test."

First, after Shidafu Sang briefly introduced the content and methods of the project, he distributed a questionnaire to each member present.

The contents of the questionnaire are very simple, and they are all questions that can provide a preliminary understanding of the members' cooking abilities and common sense experience.

For example, "Have you ever cooked a meal independently and when?" "What is the dish you are best at making? If possible, please briefly describe the making method in a few sentences" and so on.

The answers of more than 30 members are different, and no one knows how Shidafu Sang will use the answers to this questionnaire to select the participants.

As for the production team, the basic conditions for selecting members are actually very simple.

First of all, the qualifications of popular members must be guaranteed. Even if it is fried poached eggs or egg rolls, which are simple enough for a primary school student to make, they must appear. If it doesn't work once, then twice.

Secondly, the dishes you want to make cannot be the same as those of the regular members, which means that other members may be asked to make some unorthodox dishes.

After a discussion among the production team, the list of people who will appear in the next episode of Tuan Dou Dog was initially selected, as well as the list of members who need to participate in the recording and production of cooking content.

The members who were not selected left the meeting room with expressions of unwillingness and disappointment. Among the remaining members, there were those who needed to participate in the performance and cook, and some who only needed to participate in the performance but did not have the opportunity to cook.

For example, Saito Asuka, who was selected to participate in the show again, is only eligible to participate in the show and does not need to cook.

"So, Shiraishi-san, Eto-san, Matsumura-san, Hashimoto-san, Hatanaka-san, Ikuta-san, Ikoma-san, and finally Fujiwara-san and Iwase-san, please be prepared to record and make cooking videos in advance."

Yumiko Iwase, whose name was accidentally chosen, covered her mouth in surprise and looked at the scholar-bureaucrats in disbelief. After the other party nodded affirmatively, she accepted the arrangement with some indifference.

Although in the early days of the formation of the team, as the eldest member of the group, he had the experience of appearing on many occasions.

But as time flies, Iwase always has an aura of being incompatible with other members, as if there is an unbridgeable gap brought about by age, which makes Iwase unable to find the feeling in the show.

Compared with other members who perfectly integrate into the young and cute style, Iwase Yumi's own temperament is also somewhat inconsistent with the identity of a young female idol.

In addition, Iwase, who is not as strong-willed as some of the members and has a lazy personality, is somewhat unable to adapt to the current environment and has already considered whether to change his path.

This also made it not long before Shidafu-san took the initiative to talk to Iwase. The operator, who understood Iwase's thoughts, said that he would give Iwase some more time and opportunities to try.

At the same time, it is also suggested that Iwase can at least stay until the single is successfully released, and then find a suitable time to leave Nogizaka46 honorably as a graduate instead of a dropout.

After openly exchanging opinions with each other and reaching a consensus, Iwase also relaxed his mind and faced the upcoming challenges with a more relaxed and confident state.

"Then the meeting ends here. Please be prepared to record and produce the cooking course the day after tomorrow. Rather than producing the cooking content, it is more important to let the audience recognize your identity as an idol."

"So please pay attention to smiling when recording, pay attention to the interaction with the camera, and while making food, don't forget your identity as an idol. This is not as simple as making food."

The scholar-bureaucrats are still giving final reminders to prevent these young girls from making content that cannot be broadcast again.

"Hi~We understand~(*≧?≦*)"*2

I thought to myself that although I didn't know who I was talking about, it was definitely not my Ikuta and Matsumura, so I perfectly remembered "not just cooking" as "not just cooking", and replied loudly with great confidence.

Other active members also began to think carefully about how to ensure the quality of the recorded content while making food.

After the day's practice, the members returned to the dormitory and decided to take advantage of the time to practice how to make food and how to produce effects in front of the camera, so Nogizaka46's first self-catering party began????.

Shiraishi and Eto, who have self-catering experience, reviewed the cooking process again, and then tried to add some interaction with the camera in the process.

Well~~The "camera" at this time is a group of girls waiting for food.

"Hey, Misamisa, you're not feeling well yet? You're going to be hungry..."

Miss Ikuta, who specially came to the dormitory from home to have a meal today, expressed her confidence in everyone's cooking skills, and she could eat it cleanly no matter what kind of food it was.

"Yes, yes, it's not okay yet, please do more, there are a lot of people here."

At the front of the dinner table sat a group of guys waiting for something for nothing.

At the other end of the dining table, after deciding to have a dinner in the dormitory tonight, Yuri Saito, Ai Nojo, Chiharu Saito and others who like liveliness have gone to the supermarket in advance to buy ingredients and set up at the other end of the long table.

Take the pot and start making sukiyaki.

Sukiyaki, also known as Japanese hot pot or Xiabu Xiabu, has slightly different names in Kansai and Kanto.

The Kansai method is based on Osaka as an example. First heat an empty pot, add butter to refine it, then directly add the meat slices to fry, then add sukiyaki soy sauce to lightly stir-fry the meat slices before eating directly.

After eating the fried beef slices in this way, add fresh wild vegetables or seafood to the pot, then add a large amount of water or dashi stock and bring it to a boil before eating. This is the way to eat sushi in Kansai.

The eating method of Kanto is similar to that of Tianchao hot pot. Specific ingredients are selected as the bottom of the pot and water is added to boil. The boiling soup is used to cook the meat slices for consumption.

Both methods have their own merits, so the members chose one of the two. After part of the beef was prepared using the Kansai method, some members divided it up first, and the remaining part was added to the ingredients to make a soup and then cooked.

"Hey, Yuri-chan!!! Let me have another bite."

Ikuta looked at the hot pot filled with the aroma of meat, looked at the other party with pitiful eyes and said coquettishly.

"No, Yiku-chan! One bite after another, you've already eaten less than half of the box, and there are still many members who haven't eaten."

Yuri Saito crossed his hands in front of his chest and made an "X" shape, rejecting Ikuta's request for the 11th piece of meat.

"But look, Maimai's side has been given to Silly Village, why don't you give it to me?"

"!!! Sayuri!! Don't grab Mai Mai's meat to eat. Mai Mai's own share is almost gone. How much have you and Iku-chan eaten?"

"Paladin" Kawago Hina was very dissatisfied with Matsumura's behavior of constantly coquettishly flattering Fukawa Mai and cheating her into eating meat.

"Sudayo (yes)! Iku-chan, Sayuri-chan, don't you also have to record and cook the dishes? Don't you need to practice here again?"

Gao Shan, who has recently been unable to find his role and has not performed well, asked the two of them.

Nishino Nanase, who was close to Takayama next to him, expressed great indignation at the two men's behavior of grabbing meat.

"Nana hasn't eaten a few bites of meat yet. These two eat so much. If we have dinner with them in the future, we must not share the bill equally. It must be made AA!!o(`ω′)o"

Even Nishino, who has never had the concept of saving money, was shocked by the appetite the two showed during this period, so he kept reminding himself in his mind.

"Ouch~ No...it doesn't matter. What we chose are very simple dishes that everyone knows how to cook."

"That's right, that's it, after xxx, then xxx, and then xxx, it's done!!! Yiku-chan! Put down that piece of meat, it was cooked by Mai Mai for me."

Seeing the two sisters with only flesh in their eyes, the members present also gave up further persuasion.

Everyone: "If you try again, the meat will be gone...the soul will be weak!!!"

The foodies on one side were in full swing, while Shiraishi and others on the other side also finished their dishes.

"Hey, Mai Yi, isn't it a bit bland?"

After tasting Shiraishi's and Eto's wild vegetable tempura, Hashimoto asked the two of them a little unconfidently after tasting the cabbage rolls he made.

"Hmm, oh, it's delicious. Nanamin's cooking ability is surprisingly good."

After the same tasting, Shiraishi and Eto showed off to Hashimoto and finished the cabbage rolls Hashimoto made very cleanly. This type of boiled vegetable dish is very suitable for girls.

After Hashimoto tasted it again, he frowned and shook his head slightly.

"Sure enough, I still think it's a bit bland... maybe it's because I like food with strong flavors."

"No! I have to add some "stuff"!"

While Shiraishi and Eto were stunned, Hashimoto took out her "natal magic weapon". Once she loses this magic weapon, Hashimoto may lose the ability to eat.

Shichimi chili powder, another brand of chili powder called Ghost Chili, chili powder with "Ghost Kill" inscribed on it, and the last bottle of tabasco, the chili oil commonly used in Western food.

"These are my treasures. Without these, eating would have no taste at all..."

Shiraishi and Eto: "..."

"Want to try it?"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat tabasco, as for the remaining few...that look "bad", let's just forget about it."

Just the smell that Hashimoto revealed the moment he opened the packaging bag already made Shiraishi and the others give in.
