It was when they were making sushi last time that Yushan and Renren suddenly discovered that Izumi Sagiri actually had a talent in this area.
Although making sushi is actually not difficult, it actually requires a talent for kneading plasticine.
However, judging from the limited space, it is undeniable that Izumi Sagiri has exceptionally steady hands, and steady hands are actually a manifestation of culinary talent.
With this talent, Izumi Sagiri is willing to take the initiative to help in the kitchen, and Yushan Kazuto is naturally happy.
However, Yushan Heren was also a little worried that his expectations and will were being imposed on the other party.
Although Yushan Kazuto hopes that Izumi Sagiri can gradually become cheerful and not be so shy, he hopes to help her get out of the shadow of the past.
However, Kazuto Yuyama did not want to influence Sagiri Izumi's will. If that happened, Kazuto Yuyama felt that it would be better to maintain the status quo.
Of course, since Izumi Sagiri volunteered, Hayama Kazuto would definitely not show his concerns.
After looking at Izumi Sagiri, Yushan Kazuto nodded and said, "Then let's go and help together."
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mei and Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but blink slightly.
Although Tsuchiya wanted to help, she
His cooking talent is appalling.
Yukinoshita Yukino is different. She went abroad to study in junior high school and lived alone in high school. Living alone for a long time has made her a good cook. If she goes to the kitchen, she can definitely help.
Although Kato’s kitchen is not small, it is already crowded enough for four people.
After Yushan Kazuto and Izumi Sagiri left, it was a bit difficult for Yukinoshita Yukino to squeeze in.
Taking Izumi Sagiri with him, he walked through the hall and greeted everyone before entering the kitchen.
"Kazuto, you're here?" Looking at Kazuto Yushan, Kato Megumi couldn't help but say.
"Well, I went home to take a shower before coming here, so it's a little late." Yushan Heren smiled and said unhappily.
Kato Megumi shook her head and looked at Izumi Sagiri: "Sagiri is here too?"
"You guys are busy, so Sagiri and I came over to help you." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"You go to the stove on the right, Sagiri and Xiaohui will prepare the ingredients together." Without waiting for Kato Megumi to speak, Takanashi Touka spoke.
Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly, and had to walk obediently to the stove on the right.
On the other side, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but clench her fists, and inexplicably felt some motivation.
Chapter 2337: Gradually Increasing Sense of Presence
When other people get along with Sagiri Izumi, they will more or less give her some special attention and care, which can be seen from everyone's attitude.
Even Yushan Kazuto was not immune. When Izumi Sagiri took the initiative to ask for the kitchen just now, he showed some shock.
There are only Kato Megumi and Takanashi Touka, and perhaps one more person, Touma Sanae. Their attitude towards Izumi Sagiri is not much different from their attitude towards other people.
It is for this reason that Sagiri Izumi feels particularly relaxed when she is with these people.
Today, knowing that Kato Megumi and Takanashi Touka were both in the kitchen, Izumi Sagiri offered to come over to help.
Whenever there is someone else in the kitchen, Sagiri Izumi will choose to enter the room.
In fact, what Kazuto Yuyama worried about before was unnecessary. Although she wanted to show herself in front of Kazuto Yuyama, Sagiri Izumi would not force herself.
Now that she is slowly starting to get in touch with the outside world, it is actually only after Izumi Sagiri has considered it and feels that it is acceptable to her that she is gradually moving forward, and it is not as Hayama Kazuto is worried about.
Besides, since making sushi last time, Izumi Sagiri has developed a certain interest in cooking.
It’s just that when she was at home, Izumi Sagiri was always unable to help. Now that she has the opportunity, she is naturally very happy.
"Sister Hui, what should we do with this?" Looking at the small bowl of ingredients on the chopping board, Izumi Sagiri asked.
"For this, just remove the skin." Kato Megumi said.
"Just like this, use a scraper to scrape off the skin." As she spoke, Kato Megumi demonstrated it herself.
Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but blink: "Can't you just use a knife?"
"You can also use a knife. It's faster to peel the skin with a knife, but it's somewhat dangerous." Kato Megumi said.
"Sister Hui, let me try the knife." Hearing this, Izumi Sagiri spoke.
Hearing this, Kato Megumi did not hesitate. She took out a small knife and handed it to Izumi Sagiri.
On the other side, Yushan Heren at the stove couldn't help but blink slightly, feeling a little worried.
The most important key to peeling with a knife is to have a steady hand, which is not a problem for Sagiri Izumi.
However, Yushan Kazuto is still a little worried, after all, Izumi Sagiri is not a frequent visitor to the kitchen.
Besides, even though Izumi Sagiri is steady, she could still get hurt if the food is too slippery or there is water on the knife.
But after thinking about it, Yushan Heren still didn't speak.
Who hasn’t had a few cuts from a knife when starting to learn how to cook?
A little setback is not a big deal.
It would be a bit too parental to stop it myself.
However, after getting the knife, Izumi Sagiri handled it very smoothly.
At the beginning, Izumi Sagiri still needed to consider carefully.
After processing a few ingredients, the other party's movements became smooth and fluid, which made Kato Megumi blink slightly and started to process them as well.
Although, most of Izumi Sagiri's paintings are done on a digital tablet.
But this does not mean that she can't paint with a pen.
Izumi Sagiri is actually very good at painting on paper.
Therefore, she is actually quite good at using the utility knife, and now she is naturally adept at using the knife to handle food.
Kazuto Yuyama's eyes swept over Izumi Sagiri and Kato Megumi from time to time. Seeing their smooth and fluent movements, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that my previous judgment was correct. Izumi Sagiri is indeed talented in cooking.
On the other hand, Touka Takanashi did not show much expression. In her opinion, anyone who could enter the kitchen had to at least reach this level.
Otherwise, entering the kitchen would simply be a hindrance.
……
"Xiaohui, isn't Sister Hiromi back yet?" Looking at Kato Megumi bringing the ingredients to the stove, Yushan Kazuto asked.
"Sister won't be back until seven o'clock." Kato Megumi said.
"So late?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink, but in fact, the time was already half past six.
"The food may not be ready at seven o'clock," said Kato Megumi.
Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink. This was indeed true.
The main reason is that the family kitchen is a bit small, so it takes quite a long time to prepare a birthday dinner like this.
Now, Hayama Kazuto and Takanashi Touka are already able to cook with both hands, but some dishes take a long time to cook, which is not something that Hayama Kazuto and Takanashi Touka can do with their quick movements.
Just like steaming rice, even with a pressure cooker, it will take ten minutes.
The same applies to some dishes that require stewing, which take longer to cook.
Fortunately, these dishes are almost done, so the next ones will be quick to prepare.
"By the way, will Uncle Kato and Aunt Kato come back today?" After thinking for a while, Yushan Kazuto asked again.
Last year, Kato Megumi's parents actually forgot Kato Megumi's birthday.
Although Kato Hui was used to this kind of thing, Yushan Kazuto was still very worried after learning about it.
Somewhat shocked.
"They went to buy a cake." Kato Megumi said in a calm tone.
"Have you gone to buy a cake? That's good, that's good." Hearing this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. It seemed that Kato Megumi's parents did not forget her birthday this year.
But it's normal. Ever since Kato Megumi started growing her hair, her presence has become stronger and stronger.
Nowadays, her presence is still slightly lower than that of normal people, but it is a bit hard to say that she is still a little transparent.
Kato Megumi blinked slightly while processing the ingredients.
Although the tone of her previous speech was calm, Kato Megumi was still somewhat happy in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never had a proper birthday. Kato's parents occasionally remember it, but it is just a coincidence.
But this year, they took the initiative to think about it and remembered to buy a birthday cake for Kato Megumi.
For Kato Megumi, who has always been used to being ignored and silently playing a small transparent role, this made her feel a little surprised.
On the other side, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but blink slightly.
She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have missed her birthday.
When she was a child, Izumi Sagiri's mother celebrated her birthday for her. She didn't have many friends, but she had an enviable mother.
Chapter 2338 The Guests Are Arriving Gradually
After her mother passed away in a car accident, Haruka Shirasaki took the initiative to assume this responsibility.
Although Izumi Sagiri had always been somewhat resistant to Shirasaki Haruka before, after leaving her, she looked at her from another perspective. Although Shirasaki Haruka was not Izumi Sagiri's mother, she did fulfill the responsibilities of a mother.
Last year, Uncle Shirasaki was suddenly hit by a stray bullet in Southeast Asia, and Haruka Shirasaki had to urgently entrust Sagiri Izumi and Hana Shirasaki to Kazuto Hayama.
Kazuto Hayama did take on the responsibility of taking care of Sagiri Izumi, but he ignored her birthday.
It cannot be said that Yushan Kazuto deliberately ignored it. After all, he didn't even know when Izumi Sagiri's birthday was.
During that period, Izumi Sagiri was actually under a lot of pressure and she just buried herself in painting every day.
Later, Izumi Sagiri gradually accepted it and adapted to this kind of life, but she also forgot about her birthday.
My twelfth birthday passed quietly last winter.
Thinking of this, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but blink slightly and let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong? Sagiri?" On the other side, seeing Izumi Sagiri's expression change, Kato Megumi couldn't help but whisper.
"No, it's nothing, Sister Hui, I'm just a little tired." Izumi Sagiri said hurriedly.
Kato Megumi couldn't help but look at Izumi Sagiri. The other party really had too little contact with the outside world, and even her lies were so easily seen through.
However, since Izumi Sagiri didn't say anything, Kato Megumi didn't ask any further questions: "If you are tired, you can take a rest first, and continue later."
"No, no need." Hearing this, Izumi Sagiri shook her head embarrassedly.
Not to mention that what she said just now was a lie, the time for the dinner banquet was getting closer, and if she went to rest, the pressure on Yushan and the other two would be even greater.
Seeing this, Kato Megumi didn't say anything else, but continued to process the ingredients.
Seeing Kato Megumi's actions, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly continued to work.
……
"Sanae, Rikka?" Looking at Sanae Toumori and Rikka Takanashi who walked into the house, Doma Mei couldn't help but blink slightly.
She had originally thought that it was already past 6:30 in the evening and Sanae Toumori and Rikka Takanashi would definitely not come, so she would be able to have a good talk with Kazuto Yuyama after she returned. However, she did not expect that they would actually come.
"Umi-chan, why are you also dying here?" Looking at Umi-chan, Touma Sanae spoke.
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. She wanted to ask Touma Sanae why she came here?
After all, I have a good relationship with Kato Megumi, so it is normal for her to be invited. Why were Sanae Touma and Rikka Takanashi invited?
"Senior Hui and I are neighbors and have a good relationship, so I was invited here." After thinking for a while, Tsuchiya Mai finally spoke.
Toumori Sanae couldn't help but blink. Can an apartment and a single-family house be considered neighbors?
In her opinion, Domama's neighbors should be the households on the same floor of the Doma house.
However, considering the distance between Shinmachi Apartment and Kato's house, Toumori Sanae did not say much. After all, this point is reasonable.
"Why were you invited here as well?" After thinking for a while, Domama asked.
Hearing this, Touma Sanae just glanced at Tsuchimome and said nothing.
In fact, Toumori Sanae and Kato Megumi have known each other for a long time. After all, when Hayama Kazuto first went to the Minami-Senju Children's Welfare Home, it was Kato Megumi who accompanied him.
