You only care about the strategy

Chapter 177 Surprise
The restaurant is in "Late Autumn", and the kitchen is naturally nearby.

In addition to the way we came, there are three winding roads outside the "Early Spring" house.

There is a cherry blossom forest at the end of the road leading to "midsummer", and "late autumn" naturally has its own characteristics.

Probably for the sake of atmosphere, the roads in the courtyard are all sandy roads.This kind of sandy soil is not common in the countryside, and it won't get muddy even if it rains, not to mention that it is paved with larger stones everywhere.

Along the way, you can see many rare black pine trees, some of which are surrounded by wooden fences, while others are allowed to grow freely.

In addition, there are many flowers and shrubs, all carefully pruned.

"There is a red maple forest over there in 'Late Autumn'. If it is full of red, it is no worse than cherry blossoms." Aozora Nai took the initiative to introduce.

This is the first time she has brought a boy to this private courtyard, and without any accident, it will also be the last time.

She actually wrote down these a few years ago. Originally, Shinsuke Aozora should be sitting next to her, but he didn't have time to come here in those years, so she forgot about them. She only remembered a few things. Stunning views.

"Xiaonai, when was the last time you came here?"

Shiina Kiri was pulled forward by the girl, looking at her beautiful back and chatting wordlessly.

Aozora stopped and thought about it seriously. "I forgot, I just remember that the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom at that time."

"That should be March or April."

It's already mid-May now.

"That's right." The girl took his hand and continued walking forward.

This private courtyard was so big that the two of them walked for a while before they saw the second room.

But this room is not like the girl said, surrounded by red maples.

"It turns out that maple leaves in summer are not red." The girl turned her head and looked at the trees on the left and right.

The leaves on the treetops are palm-shaped, with slender leaves and serrated edges.

"It should be because there is too much sunshine here."

Yamanashi Prefecture has enough sunshine, and the anthocyanins in the maple leaves are converted into chlorophyll, so this red maple forest is full of green leaves.

However, the new leaves on the treetops are bright red.

"Well, let's go inside quickly."

The girl has always been very cheerful. She lamented that cherry blossom season is actually rare.

There are two small characters "Late Autumn" written on the wall of the house. The handwriting is not new and has some age.

The two changed their shoes at the door and found a servant wearing a kimono.

After some questioning, they were led around the house by the servant. After walking for a while, they finally saw the kitchen.

Naturally, Shiina Kiri would not stupidly ask why so many servants were hired when this courtyard could no longer live.

Generally speaking, the more valuable something is, the more it needs maintenance.

"Okay, you go down first." The girl glanced at the servant casually.

Aozora sounded like a young lady when she said this. That kind of casual temperament cannot be developed overnight.

"Yes, ma'am."

When the kimono servant bowed and left, the girl looked back at the boy beside her.

"Shiina-kun, please trouble me."

She was very sweet when talking to him.

Shiina Kiri didn't react for a moment. It was because the contrast was too much.

"Shina-kun?"

The girl shouted again.

"Oh, sorry, I was just in a daze." Shiina Kiri said apologetically.

"Xiao Nai, you were very aura just now."

"Really?" The girl blinked, as if wondering what was wrong with her tone just now.

"Well, let's go in." Shiina Kiri didn't go into details.

In fact, this kind of behavior is normal. There are definitely many servants in the Qingkong family. It would be very tiring if as the master, you have to be kind and soft-spoken to everyone.

Indifference is normal behavior.

The kitchen is large, the utensils on the table are quite complete, and even the ingredients are rich and fresh.

There was no one in the kitchen, but the ingredients had been prepared in advance. All that was needed was to put the pot in. It seemed that she had already had the intention of letting him cook.

"Why don't you go out and wait first?" Shiina Kiri picked up the apron on the wall and suddenly turned around and said.

He was afraid that Qingkong Nai would not adapt to it, after all, the eldest lady had never seen oil smoke before.

"I want to watch Shiina-kun cook, is that okay?" She shook her head without any intention of leaving.

"What's so interesting about cooking? Okay, just watch it if you want, don't get too close."

"Received." The girl agreed happily.

Based on the ingredients prepared in advance, Shiina Kiri first made a stir-fried pork with green pepper. He really liked this dish.

When the green peppers were being stir-fried in the pot, he specially called the girl to come over and smell them.

As expected, Aozora lowered her head and sneezed, her nose turned a little red, and Shiina Kiri laughed unkindly.

"Shiina-kun, you are so bad...haha..."

She covered her nose and mouth with her right hand and looked around, as if looking for a tissue.

"You can go to the sink and wash yourself."

Shiina Kiri raised her chin towards the pool not far away.

The girl didn't listen to him, but used her free left hand to tug on his clothes.

"Shiina-kun, shouldn't boyfriends carry tissues with them? Also, can I..."

She put her right hand on his apron and wiped it gently.

Shiina fog. "..."

It’s hard to imagine that this is something a well-educated young lady can do.

I don’t know where she saw these “things that lovers can, should, and cannot do”.

But he didn't pay too much attention, after all, the apron was not his.

"Xiao Nai, don't you like spicy food?"

The food here in Tokyo is quite light, and the girl's face is so tender and smooth, it doesn't look like she eats spicy food.

"It's okay."

She leaned over and looked at the iron pot, a little curious.

When Shiina Kiri put the dish on the plate, the girl clasped her hands together and praised.

"Wow, that's amazing! Shiina-kun."

The green peppers on the plate were stir-fried to remove the raw taste, and paired with the juicy-looking fried meat, it looked very delicious.

"Please, my eldest lady, please bring the dishes to the restaurant."

"Yes!" The girl picked up the plate with great interest.

"Don't burn your hands." Shiina Kiri said quickly when she saw this.

"Know it."

……

In addition to fried meat with green peppers, Shiina Kiri later also made mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with shredded onions, stir-fried vegetable cabbage and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup.

These are very common home-cooked dishes.

The two sat side by side at the dining table, and the girl exclaimed from time to time.

"Is this what Mapo tofu tastes like? It's delicious."

"The fried meat tastes so good..."

"I will definitely be very happy if I marry Shiina-kun! The cooking is so delicious!"

Shiina Kiri felt that she might not be acting this time, because this was already her second bowl of rice.

"It's no use knowing how to cook. Well, as the saying goes, if a man is rich and can cook, he is considerate, but if he has no money, he is worthless if he can cook."

He knew how to cook these dishes in his previous life, and no one liked him.

"But I have money."

The girl looked at him holding the bowl and objected.

Of course Shiina Kiri knew that she was rich. This private courtyard was worth at least several hundred million, but she didn't take it seriously.

"Eat, eat without talking."

Shiina Kiri tapped her index finger on the table, not wanting to continue this topic.

"Hmph, Shiina-kun obviously said it first, but I didn't dare to say it anymore." The girl picked up a ball of rice, put it into her mouth happily, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, and then picked up a piece of fried meat.

"It's really delicious, Shiina-kun."

It was like eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas and suddenly eating candied haws. It was only the first time for the girl to eat this kind of home-cooked food that she felt amazing.

His cooking level is only lv2, and he doesn't believe he can compete with those chefs.

The delicacies the girl has eaten are definitely beyond his imagination, although they may not be to his taste.

For example, he still can't tolerate raw egg yolks.

"Then you eat more food."

Shiina Kiri gave the girl a piece of golden scrambled egg, and the girl quickly took it with both hands holding the bowl.

"Thank you."

He looks very well-behaved.

"Didn't you say that couples are not allowed to say thank you?" Shiina Kiri raised a thorn.

"Then, let's do it."

She raised her head and kissed the side of his face.

Shiina Kiri silently took out a tissue and wiped the area she kissed, ignoring the girl's snicker.

Both enjoyed the meal.

After eating, they walked towards the last house, which was considered a post-dinner walk.

"Xiao Nai, you haven't said what's special about 'Winter' yet."

He was also very satisfied with what he saw today. He had been very busy recently and was working hard to level up during class time. He naturally felt more relaxed after a change of environment.

Of course, the eldest lady around him may also be one of the reasons. After all, there are only too few beauties and beautiful scenery.

Moreover, she is indeed very cute and well-behaved today, she is really good at it.

"Zangdong." The girl suddenly trotted forward, holding her little hands behind her back, then suddenly turned around and looked into his eyes. "It's called 'Zangdong' there."

"Well, what does this mean?"

"There are a lot of strange rocks there. In winter, it will be beautiful when covered with a thin layer of snow."

Shiina Kiri finally understood the meaning, Hidden Snow is Hidden Winter.

Not long after, he saw a stone forest and a house at the end of the stone forest.

They did not go directly to the house, but stopped at a stone table.

There was a tea set on the stone table, with white smoke curling up from the teapot. Not far away, there were several servants standing with their hands behind their backs.

The girl once again dismissed everyone and took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour tea for the boy.

"It would be quite boring if it didn't snow here. But it doesn't matter. There is a surprise in the house, which will definitely satisfy Shiina-kun."

The two sat opposite each other on the stone table.

"It's not bad now."

Shiina Kiri held the tea cup with both hands. The color of the tea was very light, but the fragrance of the tea was very strong.

But he doesn't drink much tea, so he can't smell what kind of tea it is.

He and Aozora each took a sip and said.

"Well, just now Xiao Nai said there was a surprise in the house? What kind of surprise is it?"

"You can't say it. Shiina-kun will know when the time comes. Now is not the time."

This stone table does not have a pavilion, but is open-air.

Fortunately, it is cloudy today. After the dark clouds are blown away by the wind, another dark cloud will come to block it.

The sun was always very hazy, so hazy that I couldn't even notice that the sun was in the clouds unless I looked up.

"it is good."

Shiina Kiri did not continue to ask. There was only a hundred steps away from the last room, so there was no need for him to be too impatient.

Now I just need to drink tea here.

In fact, he doesn't understand tea either, so perhaps digestion is more appropriate.

"There is Lake Kawaguchi nearby. If it doesn't rain in the afternoon, would you like to take a boat ride together?" the girl suggested.

"can."

"It would be really romantic if two people rowed a boat. Mount Fuji is right in front of us."

"That kind of boat?"

"Yes, someone should rent it."

Shiina Kiri heard this sentence inexplicably familiar. It was his first time riding a Ferris wheel and he should be open to it.

Whatever this girl wants, she gets.

"Do you just believe me? When the boat reaches the middle of the lake, you can make some excessive demands, right?"

Shiina Kiri was joking.

"But Shiina-kun can't beat me, shouldn't it be because I made excessive demands?" She said seriously.

Inexplicably, he thought of that time when she was pressed against the back of the car seat, unable to move.

"It was an accident that time. How about we try again?" Shiina Kiri sighed.

They had just known each other for a day at that time. Who would have thought that the girl was so skilled, and he didn't react at all.

It's also because he has too little actual combat experience, so he doesn't take it seriously after obtaining [Combat Mastery].

The girl pursed her lips and smiled softly, refusing. "No, be cute today."

He originally wanted to regain his position, but now that she didn't agree, what could he do.

"Actually, the most beautiful thing here is the sunrise."

The girl changed the subject very cleverly.

"The sun will rise from under Mount Fuji and stay for a while on the top of the mountain. That's when it's most beautiful."

Naturally, Shiina Kiri also heard about it. The "Fuji Pearl" mentioned on the Internet is the rising sun on the top of Mount Fuji.

"Would you like to watch it together tomorrow morning?" she invited.

Shiina Kiri looked embarrassed. "Xiao Nai, you know I'm going home at night."

He didn't elaborate because it would be a bit weird to say it.

I have a kitten at home, and I can't leave her outside overnight or her fur will explode.

But the girl in front of him is also his girlfriend now.

"Ok."

Aozora didn't force her. She had been very talkative recently. The reason she was "sick" this morning was because he let her go and acted like she had forgotten everything.

She really waited for him for a long time last night, even for a message.

"But Shiina-kun can only be mine today."

The topic was a bit uninteresting at this point, after all, he rejected this girl because of another girl.

"Let's go, there's one last house left."

"it is good."

This time she didn't let him hold her hand, maybe she forgot, but it was very unlikely.

The two came to the "Zangdong", and Shiina Kiri followed the girl walking inside.

What's a little strange is that there is no servant here. It seems that there are only two of them in the huge room.

The house has a large hot spring.

"The hot springs here are natural hot springs from Mount Fuji."

The girl introduced without looking back.

"Is this the surprise?"

Shiina Kiri nodded. If it snows, soaking in the hot springs here will be very artistic.

"No." The girl denied.

Shiina Kiri watched her turn around, gently holding the bottom of her skirt with both hands and slowly pulling it up. The panoramic view of her slender legs appeared in front of his eyes. In addition, there were white pants hidden in black stockings.

"The surprise is me." The girl looked at him calmly and said softly.

Shiina fog. "..."

He had the urge to turn around and leave.
