Everyone ended the second round with mixed feelings, and currently the ones who have the advantage on the field are Nana Ebina and Asuna Yuuki.
Asuna Yuuki has three cards in her hand, while Nana Ebina has only one card left.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at Nana Ebina.
If Nana Ebina hits the target again, the game will be over.
Nana Ebina couldn't help but blink slightly and took a card from Rikka Takanashi's hand.
Seeing the numbers on the cards, Nana Ebina couldn't help but sigh.
It's not that I regret not drawing the card I needed, but I regret why I drew this four.
One against four, game over.
Everyone's plans were in vain. After all, Nana Ebina had already ended the game early. No matter how many ideas they had, it would be useless.
Chapter 1657: Sure enough, women have two faces
"Again, again." Toumori Sanae threw the cards in her hand onto the deck and started shuffling them.
This game of drawing joker cards really made her feel a little unconvinced. Before it even entered the final psychological game, it was over when Touma Sanae performed.
Looking at Touma Sanae's actions, Ebina Nana couldn't help but blink slightly. The other party didn't seem to have too many unhappy emotions, just a little feeling of being a little unconvinced.
This made Ebina Nana feel relieved. If she made other people unhappy because of herself, Ebina Nana would probably feel guilty about it all day long.
"You won the last round, so you will draw the last card this time." While dealing the cards, Touma Sanae said to Ebina Nana.
Nana Ebina couldn't help but blink slightly and nodded.
A few people started playing again, and this time, Nana Ebina didn't have the terrible luck like before, and her luck became much more normal.
After dealing the cards and playing the pairs in her hand, Nana Ebina still had seven cards left.
This is still the best group among the few people. After all, now they are playing with ghost cards composed of two decks of cards. However, compared with the three cards at the beginning of the previous round, it is a world of difference.
In this game, Nana Ebina continued her good luck from the previous game and ended the game after six rounds.
But after this game, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
At least this game shows that it is still possible to play the ghost card game with Nana Ebina normally.
If Nana Ebina continues to have the same good luck as in the last game, I guess after a few more rounds, no one will want to continue playing.
"Again, again." Toumori Sanae started shuffling the cards again.
"Stop playing for now, it's time to eat." Yushan Heren walked over and said.
Several people couldn't help but raise their heads, blinked slightly, and looked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Touka Takanashi had already started plating the food; dinner was indeed about to begin.
Everyone had no choice but to put the cards aside. Yuuki Asuna, Ebina Nana and Doma Yui, three more aware contestants, had already entered the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Yushan Kazuto stood at the kitchen door, looking at the well-behaved Tsuchima Mai, and couldn't help but blink slightly, feeling a little emotional.
[Sure enough, women have two faces. ]
Yushan Kazuto thought silently in his heart.
……
The dinner was very sumptuous and the combinations were very classic. It wasn't for nothing that Touka Takanashi had been the chef at Vittorio's Cottage for so long.
The tender and juicy beef and the delicate and delicious eel are all mouth-watering.
The eel, in particular, surprised both Yushan and others.
Although Japanese people like to eat eels, unagi, which looks somewhat similar to eels, is not on the Japanese diet.
In fact, eels taste more delicious and have higher nutritional value.
With almost half the calories of eel for the same edible mass, eel is a very healthy food.
It seems that because eels look too much like snakes, people are somewhat reluctant to eat them.
Eels like to dig holes and burrow into them to live, and their bodies are sticky and slippery. Therefore, even the Japanese who like sashimi are unlikely to have any liking for eel sashimi.
Therefore, let alone eating eels, there are not many people who sell eels. Yushan and others occasionally eat eels one or two times, but they still have to specially entrust someone to catch them from the farmland.
Today, Touka Takanashi actually prepared eel dishes, which really surprised Kazuto Yuyama.
Although the cooking method of Unagi-yaki is followed, killing the eel, cleaning it, removing the internal organs, and then cutting it for cooking is not the best way to cook eel.
But in terms of texture and taste alone, it is much better than ordinary unagi.
When the other people saw the eels, they were a little hesitant to pick up their chopsticks at first. After all, Japanese people don't eat eels and naturally don't know much about eels. In their eyes, eels look no different from snakes.
However, after watching Yushan Kazuto and Kotori Touka continuously picking up their chopsticks and tasting the unagi, the few of them reluctantly took a piece, wanting to try what it tasted like.
This attempt was unstoppable, and the whole pot of eel was divided up by everyone present in just a few minutes.
……
"Sister Juhua, what ingredients are used to make the dish that looks like unagi?"
After dinner, Ying Lili finally couldn't help but ask.
The taste of the eel surprised Eriri. She couldn't wait to know what the ingredient was so that she could ask Sayuri Sawamura to cook it for her in the future.
"That?" Tohka Takanashi thought about it. She also ate it occasionally, so she didn't ask what it was specifically.
"A special kind of snake."
The faces of everyone present suddenly darkened. Yushan Heren, who was drinking tea, was a little choked: "Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Doma Mai couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto with some resentment. She originally suspected that it was a kind of snake. If Yushan Kazuto hadn't eaten it so happily, she would definitely not have tasted it.
"Sister Shihua, you don't know what this ingredient is, right?" Yushan Heren said.
Touka Takanashi glanced at Rakuyusan Kazuto and showed a rare shy expression. As a chef, it was really embarrassing not to know what the ingredients of the dish were.
"Let me explain." Yushan Heren said with a slight blink.
"That's not a snake, but a special kind of fish called yellow eel. From a biological classification point of view, it belongs to the order Synbranchius, class Osteichthyes, subclass Actinopterygii, and is a distant relative of the eels you usually eat."
Although eels belong to the order Anguilla and are not listed in the same order as rice field eels, they both belong to the subclass ray-finned fish and are somewhat similar in appearance, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are distant relatives.
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. After all, for them, using snakes was really something difficult to accept.
Seeing everyone breathe a sigh of relief, Yushan Kazuto continued, "It's normal for you to be a little worried. After all, most people in Japan don't eat eels."
Only a very small number of Japanese people know that yellow eel is a delicious delicacy. Most Japanese people stay away from yellow eels. In recent years, there have even been signs of yellow eels becoming rampant in farmland.
Seeing several people nod, Yushan Kazuto turned his head to look at Touka Kotori and asked:
"Speaking of which, Sister Shihua, where did you buy these eels? Do you have a stable supply source?"
Kazuto Yuyama has always wanted to find a stable supply channel for eels, but in Japan, it seems that not many people are doing eel business.
Although if you really want to eat it, you can go fishing for eels in Tokyo, but it is obvious that Yushan Kazuto is not very interested in such things.
Chapter 1658 After-meal drinks
"One of the assistant chefs gave it to me."
After thinking for a while, Touka Takanashi spoke.
Yushan Heren nodded and continued, "Then Sister Shihua, can you help me ask the other party if they have any more yellow eels to offer? If so, I would like to buy some too."
The others couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yushan Kazuto. Judging from Yushan Kazuto's performance, he must have tasted authentic eel dishes.
Touka Takanashi simply transferred the method of making unagi-yaki to eel and made it so delicious. I wonder how delicious authentic eel dishes would be.
Touka Takanashi nodded and walked into the kitchen. Sanae Touma and the others continued to play the game of drawing joker cards.
However, unlike the previous game, there are three more players in this game.
Hayama Kazuto, Izumi Sagiri, and Eriri also joined them.
In the first hand, Izumi Sagiri's performance was even more exaggerated than that of Ebina Nana. As soon as the cards were dealt, she had only one card left in her hand.
And because she was young, everyone let her draw the card first, and she drew the one she needed right away. The game was over before it even started.
However, by the second hand, the benefits for novices seemed to have disappeared. After the cards were dealt, Izumi Sagiri had eleven cards left in her hand, the same as Tsuchima Yui, the most in the game.
However, Yushan Kazuto had good luck this time. He only had five cards left in his hand at the beginning, and then he drew the cards he needed.
Unfortunately, after two rounds, when Yushan Heren only had one card left in his hand, the goddess of luck seemed to have abandoned him.
No matter how he drew, no cards came. At the end of the game, the number of cards in Yushan Kazuto's hand kept repeating "one, two, one, two" until the end of the game.
Eriri won the second round. Originally, Eriri was a little reserved and paid some attention to her posture and temperament, but after winning this round, she completely let go. Her voice of "Come on, come on" was louder than that of the uncle in the pachinko parlor.
After Touka Takanashi simply dealt with the kitchen leftovers, she began to prepare after-meal desserts for everyone.
It is now mid-June and the summer heat is getting stronger. People often say that Tokyo is hot, and Tokyo is really hot right now.
Therefore, Touka Takanashi prepared to make some refreshing after-meal dessert, but after looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator, Touka Takanashi couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. She turned around and glanced at Yushan Kazuto, but Touka Takanashi still took it out.
……
A few minutes later, a plate of beautifully decorated drinks was brought to the table. The bubbles bubbling up made people want to taste it.
Rikka Takanashi took the first cup, and then everyone else took a cup.
Yushan Kazuto reached out his hand and wanted to take his drink, but was stopped by Touka Takanashi.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly, turned around and looked at Touka Takanashi with some confusion, but saw that the other party still had two drinks in her hand.
Unlike the drinks on the table, the two drinks in Touka Takanashi's hand were slightly lighter in color. She placed the two drinks in front of Kazuto Yuyama and Sagiri Izumi, which caused Kazuto Yuyama to blink slightly.
"Are you still seeking special treatment?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly.
Today is Rikka Takanashi’s birthday. If anyone is going to give her special treatment, it should be given to her.
Touka Takanashi just glanced at Kazuto Yushan without saying anything, and watched the few people tasting the drinks quietly.
Yuuki Asuna took a sip and couldn't help but close her eyes, carefully savoring the taste in her mouth.
"Sister Touka, you added rum to the drink, right?" After thinking for a few seconds, Yuuki Asuna opened her eyes and asked.
Everyone present couldn't help but blink slightly, and Yushan Kazuto, who was about to taste the wine, put down his glass. He couldn't drink alcohol.
"In order to enrich the taste, I added a small amount of rum." said Touka Takanashi.
Juuka Takanashi put fifteen drops of rum in each glass of drink, with a total of about half a milliliter. Compared with the 500 milliliter capacity of a drink, this amount of rum can be ignored.
Touka Takanashi just wanted to enrich the taste of the drink, but she didn't expect that Asuna Yuuki could taste it.
Asuna Yuuki blinked slightly, nodded, and continued drinking.
Although Japan restricts the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors, in reality, most minors have been exposed to alcoholic beverages since junior high school.
And since Touka Takanashi had already acquiesced, the people present didn't have much to worry about and continued to enjoy the food.
The taste of the wine is very light, and it is almost impossible to taste it unless you try hard.
Even the alcohol concentration in Japanese soy sauce is higher than that in beverages.
However, Yushan Kazuto placed the quilt on the table, with no intention of tasting it.
"You and Sagiri's don't have rum in it." Looking at the appearance of Hayama Kazuto, Tohka Takanashi couldn't help but speak.
"Eh?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and glanced at Touka Takanashi. "Sister Touka, how do you know I can't drink?"
Touka Takanashi was also a little surprised. It was just because Kazuto Hayama drove over, so Touka Takanashi specially provided him with a non-alcoholic drink, but she didn't expect that Kazuto Hayama couldn't drink.
As for Izumi Sagiri, needless to say, she is still young, and Touka Kotori will naturally not give
She added rum to her drink.
Although Sanae Toumori is not very old, less than fourteen years old, she is already a high school student after all, so Touka Takanashi did not specially provide her with non-alcoholic drinks.
After tasting it, everyone continued to play the game of drawing jokers. However, the icy cold special drink gave people a special refreshing feeling. Even when playing the game of drawing jokers, they seemed more relaxed.
After playing a few more games, almost everyone achieved at least one victory, except for today’s birthday girl, Rikka Takanashi.
To be honest, Rikka Takanashi's luck is not too bad, but every time, there is always someone with better luck than her who stands in her way to victory.
As the game went on, everyone's thoughts had changed from winning to helping Rikka Takanashi win.
After all, it’s Rikka Takanashi’s birthday today, and everyone still hopes that she can be happy.
