"Okay, thank you for your hard work, teacher. In short, you still have to pay attention to your body."

When Kikuchi talked about this, he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "By the way, the publishing house has sent a small gift, please sign for it, teacher."

After saying this, he said a few more polite words, then hung up the phone.Akihara Hiroto was a little confused, so he was a little curious what kind of gift it was?

At 10:[-] in the morning, Aiko Asano came to collect the manuscript on time.But to Qiu Yuan's surprise, she also brought a stack of envelopes, which looked bulging.

She took the manuscript from Qiu Yuan and handed him the envelope.

"Akihara, this is an extra bonus specially approved by the above. Editor-in-Chief Kikuchi entrusted me to hand it over to you."

Asano Aiko looked at Akihara Hiroto's surprised face, continued to smile and said: "The amount is not much, but there are 200 million yen."

Hiroto Akihara was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was indeed a gift, but this gift was not small, 200 million yen, which was almost equal to the fee for his 8 manuscripts.

After taking the envelope, he weighed it subconsciously, and found that it was indeed heavy.

It seems that because of the recent big sales of "New Novel", Juchi was too afraid that he would have other thoughts, so he came here to reward him.

But he has no intention of leaving now, not to mention the main reason of Asano Aiko, and now that he has the possibility of winning a gold reward, there is no need to leave.

Besides, all the current income is only a fraction compared with the future income of the booklet.

Prior to this, he had already learned from Aiko Asano that according to the current sales trend, the editorial department was already preparing to make his short stories into library books, and then publish and print 10 copies.Although the pricing has not yet been determined, but the minimum will not be less than around 2000 yen.

According to the 10% royalty income of the previously signed contract, he can obtain a direct income of about 2000 million yen.

However, the 200 million yen sent by Kikuchi Tai was intentional.

Anyway, that's a lot of money.After all, the economy is now in a recession, and the publishing industry is not so rich in funds.

He stuffed the envelope into the drawer, then looked at Aiko Asano, and said with a smile: "I have received the kindness from Editor-in-Chief Kikuchi, so Asano, what about the gift you promised me?"

Asano Aiko asked doubtfully, "A gift?"

"Yeah, what about the big meal you promised me earlier?"

Hearing this, Aiko Asano understood what he meant and gave him a blank look.After all, the other party had just received a large bonus, and now he still wants to eat and drink with her.

But she didn't refuse, after all, she had promised to treat guests to dinner before, and besides, she also had her own thoughts.

Asano, let this idiot take a good look at your femininity!

[57.Chapter 57 Gossip]

Asano Aiko made up her mind, so she greeted Akihara, went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator by herself, only to find that it was empty, with no ingredients at all.

She sighed. Although she had already prepared herself psychologically, she felt a little helpless after seeing it.

After all, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she can't conjure up a big meal.

She walked back to the room and found Hiroto Akihara reading a book, so she asked, "Akihara, come with me to the nearby shopping street, I want to buy some ingredients."

Hiroto Akihara raised his head and said in surprise, "Don't be so troublesome, why don't you go to an izakaya for a simple meal?"

He didn't expect Asano Aiko to want to cook by himself, he thought it would be good to just eat a little casually.

Asano Aiko pretended to be "confused" and said: "Oh, if this is the case, then I can't treat you to a big meal. After all, I didn't bring my wallet when I went out today."

When Akihara Yuto heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. When he saw Asano Aiko take out the envelope, the other hand was obviously holding a light-colored wallet.

However, he could also see that Aiko Asano just wanted to make a meal by herself.

It seems that I have never eaten the food made by her, so I don't know how good it is, but judging from Mrs. Asano's craftsmanship, it should be good, right?

He was a little skeptical about Asano Aiko's cooking skills, but he still agreed, and the two of them drove to the nearby Tushan shopping street in Asano Aiko's car and started shopping.

In Neon, local families usually go to the shopping street or general market to buy ingredients.

But there are also differences between the two. Comprehensive markets are often run by large groups or chaebols, and shopping streets are usually small vendors huddling together to keep warm.

Although the price of food materials in the general market is usually slightly higher than that of the shopping street, the younger generation of RB prefers the general market because of the convenience of purchasing methods and the cleaner environment.The living space of the future shopping street will be further squeezed, resulting in a large number of closures.

However, these are all happening in the future. Now that the economy is in a downturn, many families still prefer to go to shopping streets in order to save money.

Aiko Asano parked the car, and the two of them walked into the shopping street together, and started shopping from store to store.

During this process, Asano Aiko bargained with the store while weighing the ingredients on hand from time to time.After spending about an hour, she finally bought all the ingredients and got into the car contentedly.

After arriving home, Hiroto Akihara went straight back to the study, and Aiko Asano came to the kitchen, tied up her apron, and was ready to start cooking.

Because of eating with Akihara Yuto before, she found that he prefers to eat hamburger meat, so she specially bought the corresponding ingredients.

Japanese-style hamburger meat is very common in the neon diet. It can be seen in high-end foreign food restaurants, small chain restaurants and even roadside convenience stores. It has become a standard in some elementary school cafeterias. One of the accompanying dishes.

And its origin is also inseparable from the European hamburger. It is only because Neon people prefer to eat rice, so they have the practice of eating it separately.

Usually a serving of hamburger, served with vegetables, rice and miso soup constitutes a simple meal.

Asano Aiko thought about the production method, and then began to operate in an orderly manner.

She first cleaned the ingredients together, then mixed the minced beef bought in the shopping street into minced meat, mixed them with onions, black pepper, salt, sugar, etc., and then sealed the fresh-keeping bag and put it in the refrigerator.

After 30 minutes, she removes the minced meat, pours it into the pan, starts frying both sides, then adds a little water and covers the pan.

After a while, he opened the lid of the pot, took out the cooked hamburger meat with long chopsticks, put it on the white plate, poured special sauce on it, and finally put it in the living room together with the rice and vegetables square table.

After confirming that the gas stove was turned off, she wiped her hands and walked out, calling Qiu Yuan to wash her hands.

Akihara Yuto looked at the dishes and bowls and chopsticks that had been set up, feeling a little dazed for a while.

How long has it been since you had a meal at home like this?

When he thought of his past life, he was a little sad for a while, but it didn't show on his face.

"Akihara, try the taste first, and let me know if it's not good."

Asano Aiko said so, but she had a different idea in her heart. After she knew that the other party liked to eat this dish, she practiced it many times before mastering it. The taste has been perfected.

If Qiuyuan is not satisfied with this, although she can't say it, she will definitely be a little angry in her heart.

Akihara Hiroto let go of his thoughts, thanked him with a smile, went to wash his hands, and then sat at the square table with his palms together and said "I'm starting".

After saying this, he picked up a small piece of hamburger meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

He likes this dish very much. It tastes a bit like the lion's head that he used to eat. It is soft and soft after one bite, but it is tender and juicy, with the chewiness of beef.

Seeing Hiroto Akihara's expression, Aiko Asano felt a little happy, and then started eating with her chopsticks.
