Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

In the bookstore, Imaguchi stood between the bookshelves, looking at the dazzling array of books on them. He took out the paper he had memorized before, and then started searching bit by bit.

……

"Hello, where is the recipe?" Imaguchi looked at the recipe that he had never found, and stopped a clerk who was sorting it out.

"As for the recipe, it's in the back. Turn right from here and go all the way to the second to last row at the end."

"Okay, thank you!" Imaguchi nodded heartily.

Just as he was about to go there, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Imaguchi brother!"

Turning around, he saw that it was the little detective and the others he met at dinner a few days ago. The girl named Mao Lilan was the one who greeted him.

"Hello you all!"

"Brother Imaguchi, do you want to come and buy books? There are so many!" Mao Lilan was a little surprised when she looked at the dozen books that Imaguchi was holding in her arms.

"Brother Imaguchi, why did you think of buying tutoring books at this time?" Kudo Shinichi was not surprised. Most of the books Imaguchi held in his heart were tutoring books and reference books for various subjects. When they grow up, You will also need it when you get older.

But why are you buying it now? It’s been a long time since school started, and you’ve almost finished learning 1/3 of the content. Isn’t it a little late to buy it now?

"Yes, I should have bought these books before, but I didn't really need them at the time, and the bookstore didn't have enough books, so I didn't buy them. But now there are too many books, so I'd better buy a few guidance books. It's better, otherwise it would be too difficult to learn!" Imaguchi looked at them pretending to have a headache, which made Mao Lilan laugh.

Kudo Shinichi was also a little helpless. It turned out that he bought the tutorial book in a hurry because there was too much knowledge in the book and he couldn't keep up.

"What books are you two here to buy?" Imago asked inwardly, looking at the juniors and juniors in regular uniforms.

"I'm going to buy cookbooks, and Shinichi wants to buy some detective novels."

"Recipe? Xiaolan, do you want to learn to cook?" Imaguchi suddenly realized at this moment. Since Xiaolan is a junior high school girl, she should be about twelve or thirteen years old now. She is learning to cook at such an old age. That's normal.

"Yeah, I'm learning to cook recently, but no one at home can teach me, so I thought about buying a cookbook and learning it myself." Mao Lilan was a little helpless. She has been cooking since her parents divorced.

Mouri Kogoro is not good at cooking, and Fei Yingli is not good at it either. She doesn't even have anyone to learn from, so she can only explore on her own.

"That's awesome, Xiaolan, what kind of food do you want to learn?" Touching Mao Lilan's head, Jinguchi sighed secretly, but did not ask further.

"I'm good at ordinary Japanese food, so I wanted to try something else." Despite her young age, Mao Lilan has actually been cooking for many years, so cooking is not difficult for her.

"That's a coincidence. I also want to take a look at the recipe. Why don't we go there together?" Imaguchi has also been a little confused about what to eat recently. He happened to meet Xiaolan, so why not see what they have been eating recently? !

"Okay! Brother Imaguchi and I are going to look at the recipes first, and I'll go find you later." Mao Lilan said while looking at Kudo Shinichi, who had been reading detective novels around him.

"Well, detective stories are still in the same place."

Although Imaguchi has been to this store before, he has never bought any cookbooks before, so he is not very familiar with it. I originally planned to find it slowly following the directions given by the store clerk, but now that I met Mao Lilan and asked her to help lead the way, it was much more convenient.

After walking around the store twice, I saw the recipe I had been looking for but couldn't find.

Imaguchi picked up a cookbook and read it. This cookbook talks about cooking methods of fish and seafood. Imaguchi likes fish very much, but he ate too much before, so he rarely eats it now. .

The main reason is that he is afraid of trouble. Fish has spines and seafood needs to be shelled. The key is that the smell is relatively strong, and he is easily smelly, so he rarely makes such things.

Mao Lilan picked up a Western cooking book, apparently wanting to learn Western food.

His eyes wandered over several cookbooks, and Imaguchi didn't know what to choose. Western food was relatively simple and tasted good, but he didn't want to choose. He can cook ordinary Western food, and there is no need for more complicated ones.

Indian food, etc., although he likes curry very much, other dishes require special seasonings, which are generally not easy to buy.

"Xiaolan, what do you usually eat at this time? I don't know which one to choose." Undecided, I decided to ask Xiaolan.

"Is it this time? My family usually eats chicken, duck more, and makes some fried chicken and so on. Originally, there are not many dishes at this time, and a lot of fish are rarely sold at this time, so we can only eat more meat. ”

Speaking of this problem, Mao Lilan is also a little worried. Vegetables have not grown yet at this time. Last year's vegetables are almost sold out. It is also the fishing season. She also worries about what to eat every day, but fortunately there is meat from various animals.

"Yeah, I feel like there's nothing I can do lately."

"Brother Imaguchi, if you want to read it, you can take a look at the snacks section. You can make a lot of snacks at this time and eat them when you go out for a while." Mao Lilan chose one of several cookbooks and handed it to Imaguchi Heart.

"Pastry? I know some pastry, but I'm not particularly good at it." Imaguchi prefers to eat pastries, but unfortunately his body is like this and he always feels uncomfortable if he eats too much, so he doesn't eat much himself.

It wasn't until I moved here and met Kurosawa Jin and the others that Imaguchi regained his passion for making snacks, making or buying some for them from time to time.

Although I don’t eat much, I am very happy to see others enjoying the snacks I made.

"Xiaolan, what do you usually need to prepare for an outing?" Looking at the various snacks on the menu in his hand, I felt a little greedy.

But what do you usually need to prepare for an outing?

When he went on an outing before, he would bring some food with him and then go back after looking at the scenery. As for what to do in Tokyo, he really didn't know anything about it before.

"If you go on an outing, you should bring meals and delicious food... Then you can see the scenery. The flowers are all blooming at that time, which is very beautiful. I know a place with good scenery..." Mao Lilan said excitedly, The church that wants to work hard now speaks from its heart, and now it speaks from its heart and remembers it seriously.

Both of them had forgotten the time. When Mao Lilan stopped, they realized that they had been talking for a long time and felt a little embarrassed.

"I seem to be too nagging!"

"No, I have memorized everything you just said. Then I will take this pastry book and hone my cooking skills so that I can make it by then." Imagochi is already looking forward to the outing.

"Xiaolan, Brother Imaguchi, have you finished selecting?" Kudo Shinichi had already selected the book, and he couldn't help but look for it as he hadn't waited for Mao Lilan.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Imaguchi and the others chatting very happily, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"It's done, it's done, Shinichi, have you bought it?" Seeing Kudo Shinichi coming over, Mao Lilan realized how long she had spent and quickly picked up the book she had just read.

"Not yet, I'll wait for you to join us!" Kudo Shinichi held a thick Sherlock Holmes book in his hand.

"Brother Imaguchi, have you made your choice?" Mao Lilan looked at Imaguchi beside him and asked in his heart.

"No, I plan to buy a few more books. Once you've made your choice, go ahead. I'll have to wait a while!" Imaguchi shook his head heartily.

"Okay, let's go first."

After seeing them leave, Imaguchi continued shopping in the store. What he just bought were all the reference books he needed. Now he can see if there is anything he wants to buy.

He had already read through the books at Imakuchi's home several times, and he had long wanted to buy some new books.

Walking through the bookcases, Imaguchi looked at the various books on the shelves and slowly selected them.

I bought two copies of Story Magazine. I’ve read this before and it’s quite interesting.

Detective novels and two horror novels.

The world's top ten unsolved mysteries, this one is also very interesting.

encyclopedia? This should be very useful, get a copy!

Imaguchi picked out a large bag full of books, and almost couldn't hold them anymore. He took the books to the cabinet with unsteady steps to check out.

"Hello, the total is 5978 yuan, and after discount it is 5082 yuan. Welcome to visit us next time!"

The clerk was typing on the computer, and then handed the receipt to Imaguchi.

"Okay, please pack the books for me, thank you."

Imaguchi looked at the two big bags of packed books and could already feel the pain in his shoulders.
