Chapter 591! Mai Shiranui is worthy of her reputation
Chapter 591! Mai Shiranui is worthy of her reputation
……
Seeing Mai Shiranui disappear at the door, Shen Ye shook his head slightly and muttered, "It's the other way around. Why do I feel like I'm the teacher and she's the student?"
"But it's quite interesting to see students ordering their teachers around."
Smiling, Shen Ye looked at the tea that Mai Shiranui had brewed for him. The tea leaves used were very ordinary. After all, the conditions here were like this, but he still picked it up and took a sip.
But before he could swallow the tea, hurried footsteps were heard outside the dojo.
Shen Ye turned his head and saw that it was Mai Shiranui. She was back.
"Did you forget to bring money, Teacher Xiaowu?" Shen Ye glanced at her empty hands, swallowed the tea in his mouth, and asked curiously.
"No!" Mai Shiranui shook her head vigorously. After taking a breath, the big white rabbit on her chest jumped a few times. She continued, "Xiaoye, what kind of food do you like to eat? What are your taste requirements?"
Teacher Xiaowu, you are so considerate!
"Sour, spicy, it's all fine, as long as it tastes good." Shen Ye didn't have any special requirements: "Of course, it doesn't have to be too complicated."
"Then let's have hotpot. I know how to make mixed soup, which should be similar to hotpot." Mai Shiranui thought for a moment and ran out the door again. The big white rabbit bouncing in her arms was very eye-catching.
Ness!
Shen Ye nodded with satisfaction and continued drinking tea.
Not long after, Mai Shiranui came back, still running back, she was out of breath, but she didn't seem to be tired.
"Fortunately, he is still here!" Seeing Shen Ye still sitting cross-legged in his original position, Mai Shiranui breathed a sigh of relief and carried two large bags of ingredients into the kitchen.
But it was only afternoon and there was still some time before dinner. After putting the ingredients away, she went out again, this time to buy bedding for Shen Ye.
Before leaving, she replaced the pot of tea for Shen Ye and placed two plates of freshly bought snacks on the small table.
Not long after, Mai Shiranui came back again, carrying bedding and entering the room next to where she was currently living, and began to prepare a sleeping place for Shen Ye.
After making the bed and fetching a bucket of water, Mai Shiranui took off her kimono that was in the way and began to wipe the floor and windows with a rag.
Shen Ye, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but rub his nose when he saw this scene.
It’s really... white, big and round!
Mai Shiranui, her reputation is well-deserved!
But looking at Mai Shiranui who was busy as hell, Shen Ye couldn't stay there any longer no matter how thick-skinned he was. How could his student treat him like a boss?
However, just after he expressed his desire to help, Mai Shiranui politely declined, claiming that this was what a teacher should do.
Helplessly, Shen Ye could only continue drinking tea while watching her busying around.
After Mai Shiranui cleaned up Shen Ye's room, she didn't rest for a moment, and started to clean up the fallen leaves on the ground of the dojo with a broom...
The maids in the Kagura family are still lazy, but Mai Shiranui is more dedicated than the maids!
Shen Ye thought with emotion!
……
Gulu gulu!
The sound of the boiling hot pot could be clearly heard in the huge martial arts hall.
When the lid of the casserole was opened, a large cloud of steam rushed straight to the roof, which made it impossible for Shen Ye and Mai Shiranui, who were sitting face to face at the small dining table, to see each other clearly.
After the steam dissipated, Shen Ye saw Mai Shiranui's delicate face with a hint of surprise.
"I'm going to start!"
Mai Shiranui put the lid of the casserole aside, clasped her hands together and shouted, then impatiently picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of her favorite mochi.
She had been busy all afternoon and was already starving!
However, just as she was about to put the mochi into her own bowl, she seemed to remember something and quickly put the mochi into Shen Ye's bowl.
"Xiaoye, you eat first!"
"Teacher Xiaowu, you should eat first. After all, you have been busy all afternoon!"
Shen Ye shook his head and put the mochi back into Mai Shiranui's bowl.
"That's not possible. You are a student and I am a teacher. A teacher should take care of students." Mai Shiranui put the mochi into Shen Ye's bowl again.
"Yes, you are the teacher and I am the student. Students should respect teachers." Shen Ye picked up the mochi again.
But Mai Shiranui was determined to let Shen Ye eat first, and even said in a coquettish tone: "Xiao Ye, eat first. I also want to hear Xiao Ye's comments on my cooking skills."
"Uh... okay then!"
It is said that women who know how to act coquettishly are loved by others, let alone Mai Shiranui, so Shen Ye was a little overwhelmed and could only pick up the mochi that he had pushed back and forth three times and put it into his mouth.
I chewed it twice and it tasted pretty good. It should be because of the soup base. After all, mochi is similar to rice cake and has no taste. It's just sticky and a bit difficult to chew.
"How does it taste?" Mai Shiranui looked at Shen Ye, who was chewing with his eyes slightly narrowed, and asked with a hint of caution and anticipation.
After swallowing the mochi that he had chewed for a long time but still couldn't chew, Shen Ye smiled at Mai Shiranui and said, "It's delicious, and the soup base is very good."
Mai Shiranui, who was praised, smiled until her eyes curved into crescents, and said happily: "Of course, this is the exclusive secret recipe of the Shiranui family."
Of course, the so-called exclusive secret recipe of the Shiranui family is better said to be a secret recipe she made up by herself. She said that just to give face to the Shiranui family.
Then, she put her hands together again, making a crisp snapping sound, and shouted, "In that case, I will officially start!"
After saying that, she quickly picked up a piece of mochi from the boiling casserole and bit into it without even caring about the heat.
"Woohoo! Hot, hot, hot! But so delicious!"
Even though she was grimacing from the burns, Mai Shiranui still didn't spit it out, and there was a happy expression on her face.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ye shook his head slightly, picked up some vegetables from the pot and put them into her bowl, and reminded her: "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself!"
"Yeah! Thank you, Xiaoye!"
Mai Shiranui nodded, but perhaps she was really scalded, Shen Ye could clearly see some crystal liquid appearing in her eyes.
But, was he really scalded?
Shen Ye didn’t know, perhaps only Mai Shiranui herself knew.
After eating all the food that Shen Ye picked up for her in the bowl, Mai Shiranui also enthusiastically picked up some for Shen Ye.
"Xiaoye, you should eat more too. Only when you are full will you have the strength to practice our Shiranui family's ancient martial arts!"
"Xiaoye, don't be picky about food. Vegetables are also very important. They can make your eyes sharper!"
“I don’t like mushrooms…”
"Okay, Teacher Xiaowu, my bowl is full!"
"Hmm! Xiaoye, would you like to drink something? I still have some sake left by my grandfather. I think it's appropriate to have a drink now, just as a way to celebrate your apprenticeship."
“I still want to drive!”
"Then stay here tonight, the bed is ready!"
"I won't run away... Teacher Xiaowu..."
……
(I feel like I put more effort into writing about Mai Shiranui than I did about the Kagura sisters...ah, my childhood...was definitely not just in the book...)
