Chapter 205 Her Farewell (Part 1)

Time passed like this day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it came to Thursday evening.

"Do you want to go into the kitchen today?"

Outside the kitchen of Kitagawa's house, Myo Eshima, who was wearing an apron, glanced at Rina Toshima in surprise. For a moment, she was a little unsure of what her neighbor was thinking.

In the beginning, Rina Toshima did learn cooking skills from her for a period of time, but maybe it was just in line with the old saying that some things really require talent. If you don’t have talent and have to do it by force,

It often takes twice as much work to achieve half the result.

However, after working hard for a month, Rina Toshima has successfully reached the passing mark by practicing each of the three dishes more than a hundred times.

But compared with all the ‘cooking gods’ in the Beichuan family, it’s nothing more.

From then on, Rina Toshima accepted the fact, happily gave up on practicing cooking, and lay down flat, saying that she only needed to be responsible for eating and washing dishes.

Thinking about it now, counting the time, it has been more than four and nearly five months since Rina Toshima said she would no longer work hard on cooking.

"Yes."

Rina Toshima nodded, and her eyes fell on Eshima Myo's face.

Those clear eyes reflected that beautiful face.

In a sense, Myo Eshima is indeed easily the object of admiration for girls of the same age. She has good grades, good health, and knows a little bit about everything. She is omnipotent and cannot be omnipotent.

"What's the reason why Rina-san did this?"

Myo Eshima met Rina Toshima's gaze and asked thoughtfully.

It's not that she doesn't allow Rina Toshiro to enter the kitchen, on the contrary, the Kitagawa family's kitchen is open to everyone at the Kitagawa family's table as long as it doesn't do any harm.

However, Kitagawa Che is not among them. At this point, everyone has acquiesced that unless it is a special situation, someone must not enter the kitchen.

"Just think of it as a sudden thought." Rina Toshima smiled, clasped her palms together, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and there was a little more pleading in her voice, "Anyway, please."

After the words fell, Beiyuan Rinyin, who was handling the vegetables, stopped moving her hands.

She turned her eyebrows away and her eyes fell on the kitchen door.

"..."

Myo Eshima glanced at Rina Toshiro, then turned back and met the gaze of Rinne Hokion.

After exchanging glances with the latter in the air, the valet looked back, nodded slightly, and gave an affirmative answer, "Then, I'll ask Rina-san for your advice."

Saying this, she moved away.

"Hmm."

Rina Toshima blinked, walked past Eshima Myo, and walked into the kitchen. Then she stopped in front of the stainless steel pole, took the light brown apron from the top and put it on.

The result still hasn’t changed much.

After looking around the kitchen, Rina Toshima sighed deeply in her heart.

It has been almost four months since she entered the Beichuan family's kitchen.

Everything is still so familiar.

Just...

Rina Toshima's eyes suddenly became complicated. She turned her head and gave Eshima Myoshi a look of help.

"What's wrong?"

Ejima Miao tilted her head and asked subconsciously.

"Theoretically speaking, if you don't review the knowledge you have mastered within three months, you will forget most of it." Rina Toshima laughed sarcastically, and avoided Ejima Myoga's gaze with an embarrassed expression, "

What I mean is... I might need your help.

"Because I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, so I'm... a little crafty."

At the end of the sentence, Rina Toshima's voice became smaller and smaller.

One second she vowed to leave it to her, but the next second she lost her timidity.

This is somewhat difficult to describe.

"No problem."

Ejima Miao nodded slightly and agreed happily.

She thought Rina-san was going to say something.

"That...please."

Rina Toshima lowered her eyebrows, looking cautious.

"Don't be nervous."

Myo Eshima showed a relieved smile. She gently took Rina Toshima's hand and led her to the chopping board.

When Rina Toshimai asked her for advice on cooking, she had already noticed that their neighbor Rina really had no talent in cooking.

But even so, she still persisted for a month, and even learned three home-cooked dishes beyond her expectation. What surprised her most was that the taste of the three dishes was exactly the same, although the details were still different.

It's a bit rough, but there's no problem in getting a passing grade.

Right now, it’s just a matter of finding some things that I may have forgotten partially. It’s not too difficult, both emotionally and rationally.

Feeling the cool touch coming from the palm of her hand, Rina Toshima breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

If she really had to go through it step by step without any 'textbook', she would have messed up at least two or three times.

But the Beichuan family's meal time is there. As a diner, she is the classic type who will live like a year if the meal is not served on time. Now, she has become a chef. At this point

, there will also be an unconscious sense of responsibility.

It can’t time out anyway!

"But..." Myo Eshima let go of Rina Toshimaro's hand, and changed the subject, "I will only be responsible for pointing out the steps that Rina-sama did not do correctly, and I will not teach you everything." She paused, and the corners of her mouth were slightly twisted.

Raised, outlining a cunning arc, "This can achieve the effect of review!"

What she meant was that she hoped that Rina Toshima could recall the steps she had practiced several times before while doing it.

It’s not like I’m trying to embarrass Rina Tashiuchi.

In her opinion, the muscle memory that has been practiced hundreds of times is not so easy to forget. Even if it is unfamiliar at first, after you start doing it habitually, you will gradually become familiar with it.

This neighbor had put in a lot of sweat for those three dishes.

How could that memory be forgotten so easily?

Of course, the most important thing is that she doesn’t want to make the same mistakes again.

People have habitual thinking. Once they encounter any problem, they immediately seek help. If the people around them can give the answer immediately, over time, people will give up thinking on their own and habitually turn to the people around them for help. This is

It also forms a bad habit.

In the beginning, she made this mistake when she first started teaching Rina Tashisei to learn cooking. Once Rina Tashisei had any questions, she would immediately answer them without even giving the other person time to think.

.

Therefore, at least 30% of the reason why Rina Toshima's learning progress was so slow in the early stage was because of this.

However, from another perspective, it was an eye-opener for her. This seemingly lively and cheerful neighbor sister was actually an unexpected coquette when it came to things she was not good at.

"...This is the best."

After a moment of silence, Rina Toshima nodded in agreement.

At this point, she thought very clearly. First of all, having something is always better than nothing. Secondly, her original idea was to hope that Ejima would only help her with the steps she didn't do right or was unsure about.

A handful.

If Eshima was really asked to demonstrate it from beginning to end, then her trip to the kitchen today would be in vain.

After all, if she demonstrated it once, the ‘standard answer’ would come out immediately.

The templates are all there, what else does she have to do with the rest.

On the other side of the kitchen, Beiyuan Rinyin, who was handling green leafy vegetables in the sink, frowned slightly, with a little more thought on her face.

If she had just felt that Toshima Rina was often absent-minded and preoccupied due to Ejima Myo's reminder before, then now, she already had a bad premonition.

Judging from Tashisei Rina's current performance, her worries are beyond her ability. To put it bluntly, Tashisei Rina has no way to handle these things well.

Just...

The movement of Beiyuan Rinyin's hand paused slightly.

She turned her eyebrows sideways, and the corner of her eyes fell on the side face of Rina Toshima who was already standing in front of the chopping board and began to check various seasonings.

If you ask the person involved, given Rina Toshima's character, she will definitely not tell you.

Just make a haha ​​and get over it.

If pressed, there is no need to think about it.

Withdrawing his gaze, Beiyuan Rinyin turned on the faucet a little wider.

The sound of rushing water not only did not dispel her worried thoughts, but actually made her feel more anxious.
