In the end, Okino Shiya just bought some fruit and beer, and then walked to the Mori Detective Agency with Conan.

"I'm back. Hey, where's Sister Xiaolan?"

"Your sister Xiaolan hasn't come back yet." The uncle didn't even raise his head. A large newspaper covered his face, and he looked listless.

"Uncle Maori, are you okay?"

"Huh? It's you, kid." Hearing the voice, the uncle raised his head and glanced at Okino Shi, then lowered his head again.

This scene made Okino feel confused and he couldn't help but look at Conan with questioning eyes.

"Uncle has not been entrusted with anything recently, so... you know."

"I see, no wonder the uncle is so decadent, his beard is unshaved and his hair is a mess." Okino lost his mind for a moment, took out a few bottles of beer from the bag, and put them on the table in front of the uncle.

"Uncle, look what I brought you."

"Huh? Beer!" As soon as he saw the beer, the uncle's eyes lit up and he glanced at the decadent uncle's appearance before.

"Uncle Maori, I bought this specially for you, cold beer."

"Ah hahaha, well done, little boy."

The uncle was obviously very happy, and the name he called Okino changed from "little boy" to "Okino boy". Then he picked up a can of beer and drank it in one gulp without thinking.

"Gulu gulu, it feels so good! It feels so good, hahaha! Boy, come and drink too."

"Ahem, I don't know how to drink without uncle." Okino Shi quickly waved his hand.

"Haha, what can you do if you don't know how to drink? You will definitely learn to drink when you grow up. Here's another bottle!"

"Okay, Uncle Maori, I bought these in total, you can drink it while you're at it." To make the uncle feel better, Okino Shiya had no choice but to put the remaining beer in the bag on the table.

"Hey, luckily I was smart and bought a few more bottles of beer."

"It seems that beer is undoubtedly the best medicine for uncle." Conan agreed.

"Isn't that right?" Okino Shimi nodded, "It seems like you should always have beer at home."

"Haha~ It's impossible. If sister Xiaolan finds out about this, uncle will definitely die miserably."

"Yeah, I forgot about that." Okino slapped his head, and also realized Xiaolan's terror. In this family, Xiaolan is the one who has the absolute right to speak.

When Cao Cao arrived, Mao Lilan suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"I'm back."

"You're back, Sister Xiaolan."

"Good evening Xiaolan, I'm sorry to come and disturb you."

"This is Okino-san, you are welcome to come and be our guest."

"Thank you. By the way, Xiaolan, you can take these fruits and put them away. It's a little bit of my appreciation."

"Really, I brought gifts when I came here. How embarrassing."

Being so thanked by Xiaolan, Okino lost a little bit and said, "It's okay Xiaolan, I can't afford anything more expensive now. You know my store doesn't have much business to begin with."

"Haha, haha, I'm so sorry." Xiaolan took the bag and walked to the kitchen, then suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Okino.

"By the way, Okino-san, do you want to have dinner together here?"

"Eh?"

"Let's eat curry tonight~"

"Curry?" Okino's throat moved slightly, and drool couldn't help but flow out of the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Okino Shi suddenly felt someone touching him, and it turned out to be Conan.

"What's wrong?"

"Slobber, saliva, your saliva is going to flow out."

"Ah, really? Suck it."

"Hey, you are really disgusting."

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Xiaolan made you laugh."

"It's okay Okino-san, I understand. Then let's have dinner here tonight."

"Okay, that's really troublesome for Xiaolan."

"No trouble, no trouble."

At this time, Conan also put his schoolbag on the sofa, looked at Okino speechlessly, and whispered while his uncle's attention was on the beer.

"Hey, you guy, it's just a curry meal, isn't it?"

"Why not? With Sister Xiaolan here, you don't have to worry about food and clothing." Okino subconsciously raised his voice, which frightened Conan and quickly hissed.

"Hey, keep your voice down."

"Uh, sorry, sorry." Okino sat down and continued.

"You kid can't understand my life at all. The business in my store is not only bleak now, but also requires money for daily food, water and electricity bills and daily expenses. I can't even afford a nice piece of clothing now."

, you said I am poor."

"Uh... I didn't expect you to be so miserable." Conan was shocked. He couldn't help but look at the clothes Okino Shi was wearing. After a closer look, it turned out to be a 'street stall'.

"Isn't it? Now you know how lucky you are. It's so lucky to have Sister Xiaolan cooking for you. I also want to have such a gentle sister to cook for me, so that I don't have to cook for you every day.

Worried about money.”

"Haha, it's impossible." Invisibly, another wave of unintentional ridicule from Conan hit Okino's heart hard.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the kitchen and help Xiaolan make curry." With that said, Okino Shi got up and went to the kitchen.

Conan was startled and looked at Okino with a different expression, "You can actually make curry?"

"Tie, you are looking down on me too much. How could I not make something as simple as curry? Just put the things that should be put into the pot, then light the fire and cook it. It will always be cooked."

"Hey, are you sure the food you made like this is really edible..." Conan narrowed his eyes and expressed his doubts.

"Hmph, why can't you eat it? Just take care of it."

Five minutes later, Okino was assigned the task of chopping vegetables...

"Xiaolan, can you see how this carrot is cut?"

"Okay, I didn't expect Okino-san to be able to cook." Xiaolan said in surprise.

"I said..." Okino glanced at Xiaolan with a strange expression, "Xiaolan, don't you think I can only make dumplings?"

"Hehe, hehe, is that so? How could it be possible?" Xiaolan blushed and said intermittently.

"I knew it." One look at Xiaolan's expression and she knew that this guy and Conan must have recognized her as the kind of person who only knows how to make dumplings.

But think about it, boys who can cook are really rare in Japan.

"Sorry, Okino-san."

"It's okay, there's no need to apologize." Okino shook his head carelessly, then suddenly thought of something, and said.

"Well, how about this? If you have time in a few days, I will make a dumpling dinner as a reward for treating me to curry this time."

"Hey, is it true?"

"Of course, it just gives you a taste of my craftsmanship. After all, my store only has one flavor now."

"That's great. The dumplings made by Okino-san are really delicious." Xiaolan smiled happily.

"hey-hey."

‘Damn it, you actually had such a happy chat with Xiaolan!’ At some point, there was a little guy with an evil face standing there at the door of the kitchen for a long time.

In just over twenty minutes, the rich aroma of curry came from the kitchen.

At this time, Okino walked out of the kitchen and urged the two of them to wash their hands quickly.

Not long after, plates of delicious curry were brought out, and Okino Shi and others sat down at the small table.

"Hehe, it looks delicious."

Snapped!

"Wait a minute, Dad, I still have something to say." Xiaolan rolled her eyes at her father in dissatisfaction.

"What? Is there anything more important than eating?" Even so, the uncle was still defeated by Xiaolan's threatening eyes, and was so angry that he didn't say a word.

Conan: 'Haha, this old man is hopeless...'

"Ahem, I have something very important to announce before we eat. That is, next Friday, Okino-san will come to our house to cook a luxurious dumpling feast."

"dumpling?"

"Feast?"

“Dumpling feast!”

The two people, one big and one small, looked at each other with a tacit understanding. Suddenly, they thought of the taste of the dumplings in the shop they went to Okino last time, and their expressions suddenly became wonderful.

"How's it going? I'm looking forward to it."

"Hmm, brother Okino, is this really the case?"

"Of course, in order to repay Xiaolan for making this curry rice, I will also show you my hand and let you know that there are many different ways to make Chinese dumplings, especially the fried dumplings. The taste is guaranteed to you."

After eating it, you will have endless aftertaste.”

"Very good."

"Okay, let's start eating."
