"I'm back." It was already around five o'clock. After school, Conan opened the door to the second floor and said to the inside.
"Little brat, school is over." Then, he saw Maori Kogoro, who was blushing, drinking beer as he spoke.
Heh…Heh…Uncle really can drink, Conan with his mouth twitching…
"Uncle, is Sister Xiaolan cooking upstairs?”Conan looked around, walked to the sofa, put down his bag, and asked Maori Kogoro, who was sitting in front of the TV and drinking beer.
"Yes, Xiao Lan bought a lot of vegetables to celebrate Xiao Bai's discharge from the hospital. It should be almost done by now."
"Then I'll go up first, uncle," Conan said to Maori Kogoro who was drinking.
" Let's go, little brat. Let's go up together..." Maori Kogoro heard Conan say and started to walk out with the remaining beer.
"Hi ~"
As the sound of the stairs rang out, Maori Kogoro and Conan came to the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, a fragrance wafted from inside.
Then, as he sniffed, he walked to the source of the fragrance.
Mao Lilan was holding a plate of Sushi. The Sushi was wrapped in seaweed. In the middle, there seemed to be carrots, ham, and some meat floss.
In addition to the plate of Sushi, there was also a rice ball that had been placed on the table. The rice ball was in the shape of a triangle. The triangle was wrapped in seaweed, and the middle was full of white rice balls with black sesame seeds in the center.
However, other than these dishes, many of the other dishes seemed to be rare.
For example, there was a plate of tofu next to the Sushi…
This was a rare dish of home-cooked tofu. It was sprinkled with a little pepper, garlic, etc., and there was also shredded meat.
No, this is no longer a home-cooked tofu. This is, this is the famous Mapo Tofu in Sichuan, that magical country in China…
The rest of the dishes were unique to China.
For example, stir-fried beans with eggplant, stir-fried peppers, stir-fried sweet potatoes, etc.
Especially the stir-fried sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes felt like they were fried until they were fat. Coupled with a few blood-red peppers, they looked like French fries in a fast food restaurant.
"Ah, Xiao Lan, today's dishes are really rich." Maori Kogoro picked up the spoon on the table, scooped up a little Mapo Tofu and ate it.
" Well, this is…" Maori Kogoro took a bite... He seemed to be stunned…
"Yes. This is..." Conan seemed to have seen Maori Kogoro's expression and took the spoon. She scooped up a little Mapo Tofu…
"This numb feeling…There's still such spiciness. It's incredible. Eat it. Not only did it enter his stomach gently, but it also tasted wonderful. He was even reminding himself. Eat again, take another bite…
Then, he saw Conan and Maori Kogoro begin to scoop the second spoonful, the second spoonful…the third spoonful…
"Pa…Pa…"
" It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…" At this moment, Maori Kogoro and Conan's shouts could be heard.
"Dad, Conan, we haven't even started eating yet. Why are you wolfing down your food?" Xiao Lan looked at the two people in front of her who were screaming in pain, and at the Mapo Tofu that was almost half gone. She put her hands on her hips and looked at the two people in front of her.
"Ah, Xiaolan, how do you make this? It was so delicious that it felt like I could eat tofu like rice. And I feel so warm now, I'm already sober from drinking. Maori Kogoro seemed to ignore Xiaolan's reproach and directly asked the question in his heart.
"Well, yes, Sister Xiaolan. This dish should be called Mapo Tofu. I remember that this is a dish that only the mysterious Kingdom of Hua Xia has. Sister Xiaolan, how did you cook it?”Conan ignored the pain and looked at Molilan expectantly.
" Well, this... I didn't do it..." Xiao Lan seemed to be very embarrassed as she replied.
"You didn't do it?" Maori Kogoro and Conan seemed to have heard something incredible and looked at Maori Lan.
"Yes, these are all made by Xiao Bai. I'm only in charge of serving the dishes today." Mao Lilan seemed to be embarrassed to say these words.
"Hmm, that brat?" Maori Kogoro looked at Maori Lan in disbelief, and then saw Maori Lan nod.
Conan did not seem to believe this result and looked at Molilan. At the same time, he saw Molilan nod.
"Alright, the last dish of the day. Tremella vegetable soup." At this moment, Mao Libai's voice came from the kitchen.
Then, Conan, Maori Kogoro, Maori Lilan and the others all looked in the direction of the kitchen.
He saw Mao Libai holding a large bowl of soup. Spinach, snow fungus, onions, ginger, and so on could be vaguely seen inside.
The fragrance reached the noses of Maori Kogoro and the other two…
"It smells so good." Kogoro, who seemed to be intoxicated by the fragrance, closed his eyes and sniffed…
" Alright, let's eat…" Mao Libai placed the white fungus vegetable soup on the table and sat cross-legged on the mat on the floor.
"That, did you do all this?”Maori Kogoro heard Maori Bai's words and opened his eyes. He knelt down and asked Maori Bai.
"Yes, uncle, I did all this by myself." Maori Bai looked at Maori Kogoro and said matter-of-factly.
"Then did you make this delicious Mapo Tofu?”Maori Kogoro pointed at the Mapo Tofu that was still emitting a fragrance.
"Uncle, this is not Mapo Tofu. This is Magic Mapo Tofu, the shredded meat inside. Although it looked like shredded meat, it was not shredded meat. I only thought of it when I saw the soybeans Sister Xiaolan bought. These shredded pork are all made of soybeans. Generally, Mapo Tofu has five flavors in one, but my Magic Mapo Tofu has six flavors in one." Maori Bai calmly replied to Maori Kogoro.
"Six flavors in one?" At this moment, everyone had already knelt down. Conan, Maori Kogoro, and Maori Lilan said in surprise.
"Yes, six flavors in one. Ordinary Mapo Tofu includes color, fragrance, spiciness, numbness, and heat. However, the six-in-one Magic Mapo Tofu has this additional minced-meat-like soybean, crispness." Mao Libai looked at Conan and the others.
"What, this meat, not meat, but soybeans? No way, I feel like I'm eating meat..." Then, he saw Maori Kogoro scoop another spoonful and eat it.
"Alright, let's eat." Mao Libai smiled.
"Right, Xiao Bai. How do you know all this?" Kogoro seemed to have recovered from the delicious aftertaste and looked at Mao Libai.
"These are all in my mind. I seem to have seen them somewhere before. I seem to have done them before." Maori Bai looked at Maori Kogoro and said without blushing.
"It seems that Sakurako has taught you a lot." Maori Kogoro seemed to think of his sister-in-law. Perhaps, everything was taught to him by his sister-in-law.
"Yeah, the way Xiao Bai cut the vegetables. And the way you cook makes me feel like a master who has been cooking for decades." Mao Lilan also said from the side.
"Oh, really? It seemed that Xiaobai was very talented in cooking. It seems that the Maori family is going to have a Master Chef, hahaha..."Maori Kogoro drank his beer. He laughed as he ate the rice ball. He was a famous detective, and his nephew was a master chef. It was hard for the Maori family not to become famous.
"Daddy." Maureen didn't seem pleased with what her father had said. Xiaobai was still young. How could she become the God of Cooking or something? However, the speed at which he cut the vegetables. There was also the action of cooking, especially the fragrance of the dishes.
"Sister Xiaolan, there's minced meat in this rice ball. It's so delicious. You should eat it too." Conan picked up the three-horned rice ball and started eating. When he was halfway through, he seemed to have eaten some spicy minced meat.
"Those are meat floss. Those are some rice balls I made with the rest of the meat floss." Mao Libai said as he looked at Conan, who was eating with relish.
" Really? Delicious... delicious..." Conan said and picked up the sushi to eat...
Sister Xiaolan, you should eat too." Mao Libai smiled as he looked at Mao Lilan.
"Hey…"
"I'm full. I'm so full." Maori Kogoro patted his belly after dinner and said contentedly.
"Me too." At this time, Conan also lay down and patted his belly.
"Yeah, this is the best dinner I've ever had." Maureen seemed to agree.
Mao Libai smiled as he looked at Conan and the others who were eating to their heart's content.
Looking at the empty plates in front of him, he stood up and prepared to clean up.
"Xiao Bai, leave this to Sister Xiao Lan. Dad, Conan, come and help too." Mao Lilan said to Mao Libai, who was preparing to clean up the dishes. Then, he looked at Maori Kogoro and Conan with a smile.
"Xiao Lan, you can just pack these up. "Why do you want us to clean it up…" Maori Kogoro supported his head with one hand.
" Hmm…" Mao Lilan stared at Maori Kogoro.
"Uh…little brat, get up quickly and clean up the dishes." At this time, Maori Kogoro seemed to feel something and said to Conan who was lying down.
" Ah... hi..." Conan, who was lying down, heard Maori Kogoro's call and got up, as if he felt something.
Mao Lilan clenched her right fist tightly and looked at them with a smile... It seemed that she could see a fire burning behind her...
This aura…was really huge…
Mao Libai looked at Mao Libai and smiled…He didn't say anything else and started to clean up the dishes…
"Phew…I'm finally done packing." He looked at the clean plates and neatly arranged chopsticks. Maori Kogoro and Conan heaved a sigh of relief…
"Right, Xiao Bai, I'll take you to your room now." Mao Lilan seemed to have thought of something and said to Mao Libai who had already walked into the kitchen.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Xiaolan."
Mao Libai smiled as he followed Mao Lilan to the door of a room.
"Here, Little White, this is your room. You like it, right? I spent a lot of effort to decorate it."
Mao Libai looked at the girl's room. The bed sheets were red. She even saw a doll on the bed…
"Well, Sister Xiaolan, I prefer blue. Moreover, this room seems to be for girls." Mao Libai looked at Mao Lilan bitterly.
Conan leaned against the door and looked at Xiaolan, feeling speechless." Come on, he's a boy. Of course, it's a girl's room. It's really Xiaolan."
"However, I still have to thank Sister Xiaolan. I'll have to trouble you to take this doll away." Mao Libai pointed at the doll on the bed.
" Okay, okay…hehe…" Xiao Lan scratched her head awkwardly and rushed out of the room with the doll in her arms. Mao Libai sat on the bed and looked around the room. It seemed like he had put a lot of thought into it.
Thinking of this, Mao Libai walked out of the room and came to the side of Mao Likogoro who was lying on the floor.
"What's he doing?" Conan looked at Mao Libai and followed him out.
"Uncle Mao Li, I may live with you for the next few years, so half of the insurance money will be my child support. This way, you can drink that thing that tastes like horse urine every day…"
"Oh ~~ Damn brat, what are you talking about?" Maori Kogoro seemed to have thought of something as he waved his fist.
"But it's okay, kid. Your uncle doesn't need the money yet. I'm a famous detective, not to mention that you're my brother's only son and my nephew." Maori Kogoro laughed as he spoke to Maori Bai. However, his laughter soon disappeared.
"Thank you, Uncle." Maori Bai looked at Maori Kogoro and seemed to feel Maori Kogoro's determination. He smiled and said to him.
"You're my nephew. Why are you thanking me?" Maori Kogoro looked at Maori Bai and said seriously,
"Hai…" Mao Libai seemed to have sensed something and nodded seriously.
"However, there is still a little ghost. I don't think his parents have called yet." Maori Kogoro looked at Conan who was standing at the side.
"Hehe, Uncle, I'll go take a shower first." As if he had noticed something, Conan left immediately…
" Uncle, then I'll go back to my room first…" After Mao Libai finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards his room.
Maori Kogoro smiled as he watched Maori Bai return to his room. Then, he said in a voice that only he could hear.
You are my nephew.
Mao Libai, who had just entered the room, seemed to pause for a moment as he closed the door…
Thank you, Uncle Mao Li…
