Seeing Erina Nakiri's expression a bit strange, Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Miss Erina, what's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah? No," Erina Nakiri quickly said.
Then she thought about it and felt a burst of anger, because it was agreed to be the last time, but later, it inexplicably became a daily task!
It's depressing just thinking about it!
Thinking this, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but pinch Satou's leg hard.
"Erina, what are you doing?"
Satou felt a pain in his leg and looked at Erina Nakiri with some annoyance, feeling completely bewildered.
"Hmph!"
Erina Nakiri lightly snorted.
Soon, the gathering ended in a lively atmosphere.
"Here, it's all here," Ryoko Sakaki asked Yukihira Soma to help carry two large boxes containing dried beef and smoked pork in front of Satou.
"Megumi helped you organize these," Ryoko Sakaki didn't forget to help Tadokoro Megumi.
"Thank you very much, Megumi," Satou thanked her again.
The finished products in the boxes were carefully wrapped in oil paper, which clearly took some effort, and this deeply moved Satou.
"Eh? Don't thank me," Tadokoro Megumi's face flushed slightly, and she quickly said, feeling warm and unspeakably satisfied inside.
Next, Satou gave some finished products to Tadokoro Megumi, Ryoko Sakaki, and Ibusaki Shun, who helped with the smoking, as a token of gratitude.
Ibusaki Shun was surprised and hesitated, "This isn't good, is it?
Such precious meat products, giving them to me…"
He had heard that Satou had sold these ingredients at a very high price during the Fair Moon Festival.
"It's fine, just accept it," Erina Nakiri couldn't help but speak up for Satou.
Seeing that Miss Erina had spoken, Ibusaki Shun could only accept it and said, "Thank you very much."
Ryoko Sakaki, however, was not pretentious, she smiled slightly and said, "Then I won't be polite, but Satou is really biased towards Megumi."
What Satou gave to Tadokoro Megumi was noticeably more than what he gave to the other two.
Tadokoro Megumi's face couldn't help but blush.
Yukihira Soma and the others all looked on with envy.
"Hehe, next time I'm coming here to freeload food," Yoshino Yuuki stuck out her tongue and giggled.
The next day, the wine was almost ready.
"Hmm, I wonder how it tastes?"
Satou muttered, this was made from five bunches of diamond grapes, equivalent to five million yuan.
"According to the procedure, there shouldn't be any problems," Erina Nakiri said.
Satou nodded, then opened the wooden barrel and poured out a little.
As soon as the wine-red liquid was poured out, a rich sweet aroma immediately wafted out.
Satou took a sip, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Such a beautiful and smooth taste, and the wine is rich, with a faint sweetness."
He had been a bit worried that he wouldn't be able to make delicious wine, but he didn't expect the wine he made to exceed his expectations.
The taste was extremely superior, smooth and elegant, light and fragrant, and utterly delicious.
"Let me try some too," Erina Nakiri leaned over and took a sip from Satou's cup, a hint of surprise flashing in her violet pupils, "What a superior taste."
As the God Tongue, she had tasted countless high-grade wines since childhood, but this glass of wine still gave her a stunning feeling.
One must know that this batch of wine was roughly made by them, completely different from those made by long-established wineries using centuries of accumulated craftsmanship.
"Let's make another batch next time and age it for a few years, the taste will be even richer and more fragrant," Erina Nakiri suggested, "It will definitely become the best wine in the world."
"Mm," Satou nodded.
The next day was a day off.
"I say, Erina, do you have any tasting work today?"
Satou asked.
"Today? It seems very busy," Erina Nakiri said with a frown, looking very troubled.
"Is that so?"
Satou stroked his chin.
"Yes, yes!
You go out and play with others by yourself!
I'll be fine alone!"
Erina Nakiri said with a serious expression.
"Alright," Seeing her say that, Satou could only nod.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he took Tohru and the others out to play.
Perhaps he could take them to see a movie this time.
As soon as Satou left, Erina Nakiri secretly pulled out a romance novel from under her pillow, stuck out her tongue, and a rare playful and cute expression appeared on her face.
…Actually, she didn't have any tasting work that morning.
Thinking that she could happily read novels all morning today, Erina Nakiri felt a burst of happiness.
Because recently, for some reason, Satou always made her stay up very late, causing her to no longer have the energy to secretly get up early every morning.
On the other side, Satou returned to the Apartment and told Tohru and Kanna about taking them to see a movie.
"Really?"
Tohru's big eyes showed a happy glow as she hugged Satou's arm.
"Amazing," Kanna also cupped her round little face, her aqua-blue pupils sparkling.
Seeing how happy they were, Satou couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, let's go now."
"Okay!"
Tohru exclaimed happily.
However, as she reached the door, Tohru suddenly asked, "Oh, right, Satou."
"Hmm?"
Satou looked at her.
"What is a movie?"
Tohru asked curiously.
Satou: "..."
You don't even know what a movie is, so why were you so happy just now?
"I know."
At this moment, Kanna raised her hand.
"Oh. Kanna knows?"
Satou couldn't help but smile, "You tell me."
2.9
"It's a very big TV."
Kanna gestured with her hand and said in a naturally dazed tone, "Saikawa told me. She went to see it with her mom and dad."
"Alright."
Satou was a bit helpless, but she wasn't entirely wrong. He patted her head and praised, "Kanna is so smart."
Kanna, having received praise, wagged her little tail, clearly quite pleased.
"I want Satou's praise too."
Tohru shook Satou's arm, pouting playfully.
"Mm, Tohru is also very smart."
Satou was a bit helpless, so he could only say with a smile.
"I told you!"
Tohru smiled, her face full of delight.
