[Quick New] Choice

Both Yukiko and Chikage were startled by his sudden cry.

Qiankage turned around and just saw Kaito laying on Shinichi's body, and immediately laughed very unceremoniously, "Oh, Kaito, what are you doing? How can such a big person be scared?" into this."

Shinichi also couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know what Kaito saw.

He leaned forward with his arms around Kaito, and he couldn't help laughing at the sight, "Mom, take this basin of fish away first."

Yukiko was probably the only person in the kitchen who didn't know what to do, but Chikage knew it when Shinichi said it was a fish.

She said to You Xizi with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, You Xizi, our family hates this kind of thing the most. He has been afraid of fish since he was a child, and our family never eats fish."

"Ah?" You Xizi had already taken the fish away, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry Kaito, Auntie didn't know about it."

"It's okay, Auntie." Kaito had already stood up straight from Shinichi's arms, and he was smiling, as if he wasn't the one who screamed after being frightened by a bowl of fish just now.

You Xizi said it was a pity, "I specially selected some of the best fish, and I want you to try them."

Kaito didn't feel sorry for it at all, "It's okay, just give Shinichi my one."

You Xizi sighed, "That's the only way to go."

Without the fish, Kaidou was a hero again. He rolled up his sleeves and walked to the table.

Take out the washed vegetables from the basin, and quickly cut them up.

"Wow!" Shinichi exclaimed from the side, "Your knife skills are good."

Although they have lived together for so long, the kitchen in their apartment is not big enough, and he doesn't know how to cook, so he won't go in and make trouble every time Kaito cooks.

Therefore, it is the first time that he has seen the whole process of his cooking intuitively.

Kaito raised his eyebrows at him, and his subordinates kept moving, "I'm a magician, what's the best thing about a magician?"

He cut the whole vegetable, skillfully turned the knife, and finished it perfectly.

He picked up what he had just said, "Of course it's a pair of skillful hands."

"It's really skillful." You Xizi, who watched the whole process, was full of admiration, "It seems that what Qianying said is right, Kaito, your cooking skills are very good."

Kaito smiled modestly, "No, it's just a little trick."

Qianying shook her head helplessly, knowing that he was showing off again.For the sake of today being a dark day, I didn't say anything.

Over there, Kaito had already put the prepared ingredients into the pot, and Shinichi was standing next to him, helping him with tools and seasonings from time to time.

The first thing to do is tomorrow's breakfast - Osechi dishes. Each serving of Osechi dishes is very large, and it needs to be filled with three layers of heavy boxes. It is not a small project to prepare dishes for six people at a time.

Therefore, during Chinese New Year in Japan, most families no longer cook osechi dishes by themselves, but order them directly from restaurants or convenience stores.

However, they obviously don't want to buy directly from outside, so most of the dishes are cooked by themselves.Fortunately, the three of them cooked together, and with Shinichi helping them, they finally finished the preparations before dark.

After Shinichi and Kaito helped the mothers to regroup, they put the heavy boxes in the packed refrigerator.

The osechi dishes for tomorrow have already been prepared, but today's dinner hasn't started yet.

Kaito invited the two mothers out, and in the voices of Yukiko's mother "This is not good" and Chikage's mother "It's okay, leave it to the children", only the two of them were left in the kitchen.

"Okay!" Kuai Dou rolled up his sleeves, "The adults are gone, now I can finally display my true strength."

Shinichi asked, "What do I need to do?"

Kaito patrolled around and said, "You deal with the shrimp."

"Okay." After washing a new handful of prawns, he asked, "What should I do with it?"

Kaito turned on the fire and started making the sauce.Hearing Xinyi's question, he replied: "Remove the head, peel the shell, cut the tail, and pick the shrimp line."

"Okay." After a pause, Xinyi asked again, "What is shrimp string?"

"Isn't it?" Kaito now doubts whether it's right to ask Shinichi to stay and help, "Honey, don't you know what shrimp thread is?"

Xinyi caught the shrimp in a daze, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is this something we must know?"

Kaito thought for a while, "Not really."

Shinichi said dissatisfied: "Then why do you sound like you heard a mentally retarded speech?"

Kaito laughed, "I didn't say that."

"Okay." He turned off the fire, poured out the seasoning sauce, and said, "Let me handle the shrimp. You probably don't know how much to cut the tail."

"As for you..." He thought for a while, "Go soak the kombu, and then boil the bonito shavings in a pot of water."

After the division of labor and then starting to move, there is a lot of coordination.

Kaito finished frying a plate of fried shrimp tempura, and waved to Shinichi.

Shinichi leaned over, Kaito held a shrimp and fed it to his mouth, "Do you want to try it?"

The fried prawns just out of the pan are hot and taste crispy and delicious.

Xinyi was speechless with the fried shrimp in his mouth, but he did not forget to show his thumbs up to show his praise.

"Is it delicious?" Kaito narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Then our soba noodles can be cooked."

Kaito packed the six bowls of New Year's Eve soba noodles into two trays, and he and Shinichi each served them out one by one.

Before leaving the kitchen, Kaito suddenly turned around and asked, "Shinichi, do you know why you eat New Year's Eve soba noodles on the night of the big dark day?"

"I know that." Xindao said, "Soba noodles are easy to bite off, which symbolizes 'cutting off the bad luck of the year'. In addition, the slender shape of soba noodles is also considered to be an auspicious symbol of longevity."

Kaito smiled and said, "Is there any more?"

"Anything else?" Xinyi frowned for a moment and asked, "Is there any other meaning?"

"There is another implication." Kaidou said, "That's—"

"I pray that you will always be by my side."

[Note: The pronunciation of "buckwheat" in Japanese is the same as "around". ]

When Xinyi was stunned, he smiled brightly, "Please give me your advice in the coming year, Xinyi."

-

After dinner, the two families sat in the living room and waited for the Red and White Song Concert to start.

The melodious sound of the violin suddenly sounded, and Kaito looked up, but saw that the person playing the violin was Shinichi who had disappeared just now.

He closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the graceful melody.

At the end of the song, Shinichi bowed slightly and retreated.

Kaito couldn't help but followed.

Shinichi was going back to the house with the violin, Kaito chased after him, put his hand on Shinichi's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I can't tell, you play the violin so well."

Xinyi glanced at him, "Didn't you investigate me a long time ago, did you still know that I can play the violin?"

"Not really." Kaito touched the tip of his nose, "It's mainly because we went to the KTV on Christmas Day, your singing voice left a deep impression on me."

He laughed twice, and there was no lack of jokes in the laughter.

Shinichi gave him an elbow, Kaito let out a scream, and let go of his hand.

His cry was a bit too exaggerated, and Shinichi didn't even bother to pay attention to him, "Is there any conflict between me being a tone deaf and being able to play the violin?"

Kaito smiled and said, "No, no."

He said again: "Hey, I still have a question."

Putting a new violin in his room, he turned his head to look at Kaito who was leaning against the door, and motioned him to ask quickly with his eyes.

Kaito tapped his chin with his hand, and recalled: "I just noticed that you have several long sounds that have been stretched into several short ones. Why?"

Xinyi paused as he walked towards the living room, and asked, "Is there any?"

Kaito nodded, "Sure."

Shinichi held his chin and thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "Is this what Xiaolan said about my eccentricity before?"

Kaito didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Shinichi didn't answer, just said: "I like pulling like that, do you have an opinion?"

"I don't have any opinions." Kaidou said with a smile, "It's just that the same long tone can be played once by others, but if you insist on playing it twice, isn't it superfluous?"

Shin must have stared at him for a while, Kaito spread his hands, as if he was admiring him.

Shinichi suddenly raised his voice, "Mom, Kaito said he wanted to perform magic tricks."

Kaito was dumbfounded, "I'm not..."

"Eh, really?" But Youxizi and the others downstairs had already heard it, "Then I have to look forward to it."

Kaito couldn't help it, he gritted his teeth and gave Shinichi a look, and could only go downstairs.

Shinichi followed closely behind.

Of course Kaito didn't want to perform. After all, the five people present besides him, although the two mothers are not to be feared, but the remaining three...

One is Shinichi, who is the only one he likes and can be called an old enemy, the other is Yusaku, whose reasoning ability is even stronger than Shinichi, and the other is his father who taught him magic skills.

Although he is confident in his own strength, it is just self-confidence rather than conceit.

In this case, this is simply a public execution!

But Xinyi has already said his words, even if he wants to rush the duck to the shelves, he has to.

Although this matter was not what he wanted, but after the actual performance began.As a magician, he was no longer nervous, but calmed down.

Fortunately, for the sake of today being a dark day, he only wanted to have fun in everything, and the three big brothers didn't make things difficult for him.

At the end of a performance, the two mothers applauded respectfully.

Kaito's attention is all on Rouichi, the more expressionless Roichi is, the more nervous he is.

Pirate Yi looked at him seriously for a long time before showing a smile and approvingly saying: "Not bad."

Kaito breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

After the tension, there is ecstasy.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and sat next to Shinichi.

Sitting stiffly for a long while, he couldn't help clenching his fists with both hands to cover up with the sound of the Red and White Song Concert, and whispered yes.

The two parents sitting far away couldn't hear it, but Xinyi who was so close to him could hear it clearly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "So happy?"

"That's inevitable." After saying this, Kuai Dou's eyes and brows were filled with joy.

Looking at his expression, Xinyi has a new understanding of Pirate One's position in his heart.

The word father should be particularly important to Kaito.

Looking at Kaito's youthful face with such a rare childish smile, he was extremely happy in his heart.

It's great, he thought, Kaito's life is finally complete.
