Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 176: Chapter 173 Sharing Food is Part of Travel



As for the food on the train, excluding take-out, in Nanaya's own impression there are only three kinds - Chinese boxed lunches, Hogwarts Express trolleys and Japanese train bento.

The first two can be regarded as Nanaya's memories from his previous life.

Although China's boxed lunches are famous, in Nanaya's memory they are synonymous with being expensive and unpalatable.

So usually, Nanaya would rather take out KFC or McDonald's fried chicken and hamburger meal than buy a train lunch. This situation has been throughout Nanaya's four years of riding in college.

It is said that there seemed to be some improvements later, but at that time Nanaya no longer took the train very often.

The trolley on the Hogwarts Express can be considered a product of Nanaya's childhood fantasy. It would be more accurate to say that everything in that magical world was extremely fascinating to Nanaya when he was a child.

The train bento is a new memory in Nanaya's life. It is not as bad as the boxed lunches in Nanaya's memory, nor as interesting as the magical food in Hogwarts.

But for Nanaya, each of these train bento boxes is very unique.

There are generally two types of train bento.

One is the bento sold on the train attendant's cart. Although this type of bento tastes good, the variety is relatively fixed and it is an economical box lunch.

The other type is the station bento that Nanaya prefers. This type of bento is sold at every station, and the bento dishes sold at each station are different.

But apart from popular bento boxes like seaweed bento and fried chicken bento, most of the others are made with local specialty ingredients.

This small lunch box contains the essence of local specialties from every part of Japan.

It is said that there are as many as 5,000 kinds of railway bento in Japan. In addition to the new products launched every year, different stations will also launch seasonal limited products with local characteristics.

Whether domestic or foreign tourists, everyone will be attracted by Japan's rich and diverse train bento.

Especially for passengers taking long-distance trains, even though they may not have traveled to a certain place, a train bento can be regarded as an opportunity for them to taste the local cuisine.

Some people who like traveling have a special preference for train bento, and even like to collect train bento from all over Japan.

Nanaya is one of them. Maybe he has not taken many trains in Japan in his life, but every time he takes a train, he will buy a train bento that he has never eaten before.

This time was no exception. Because the drive was three hours, he had already decided to buy a bento box that he had never eaten before when he was planning the trip.

Not only Nanaya, everyone present thought so.

"Dangdang!"

Ryougi Shiki made the sound effects of dishes appearing in "Cooking Master Boy" and couldn't wait to open her lunch box which had been placed on the small table.

In order to taste the largest number of dishes, the girl did not buy any at the intermediate stops, but directly chose to buy the station's specialty, the 30-item balanced bento, at Tokyo Station.

As the name suggests, this bento is made with 30 different ingredients. Various fish, meat, vegetables and rice are placed in six grids. It can be said to be pleasing to the eye and nutritious.

Although the portion of each dish was not large and was just enough for one bite at most, it was just right for Ryougi Shiki, whose appetite was controlled by Ori.

"Wow! Ryougi-san's bento looks really sumptuous!"

Seeing the bento, Elle beside her exclaimed in admiration.

"Hehe, this is a bento I've wanted to try for a long time~~ I can taste 30 kinds of food in one meal, it's simply heaven~"

Shiki was very proud to see Elle cooperate so well.

But the way she kept laughing while holding the food box made her look like an old witch who poisoned the princess.

"Humph, you're just doing unnecessary things."

Ori snorted coldly and opened his chicken lunch box. Although there was nothing new in the dish, the lunch box with the appearance of a Shinkansen car was very novel.

"You are the same... This strange box is no match for the food inside."

"It's up to you to decide. I think it's cute."

Ori's cheeks turned slightly red, and he turned his head to the other side to eat his lunch box.

"I really envy you young people. We two can't do that. We are too old to eat cold food."

The Hanai couple smiled and showed everyone the bento they made - an oden bento specially packed in a thermos box.

"Tsk tsk, I'm so envious. The master's wife's cooking skills are still as good as ever." Nanaya commented, "I can't do that. If I really want to make my own bento, the only dishes I'll have are probably soy sauce seaweed and boiled eggs."

"Are your cooking skills so bad?"

"No, I just don't want to cause any trouble."

Nanaya's answer left Shion at a loss for words.

"Well... speaking of cooking, isn't Ryougi-san very good? The snacks he made before were delicious." Lily in the back row suddenly interrupted.

[Hey, have you been listening to us? ]

As if noticing Nanaya's look, Lily quickly explained: "No, I came here to get some hot water."

Lily said as she raised the ochazuke bento in her hand.

"Although it's not a traditional bento, it's also a traditional Japanese delicacy."

"Well, it looks good. Ours is boiled beef bento!"

Rin showed her and her sister's lunch boxes, which contained a braised egg and some vegetables in addition to the beef.

"Lily, where's your sister's lunch box?"

Nanaya took a look at Matsuno Shiki's bento and found that it was a plain eel rice bento, which immediately made him lose interest in this guy's bento.

In Nanaya's eyes, the eel rice bowl with only eel and teriyaki sauce and not even any egg shreds was evil.

"My sister?" Lily suddenly smiled happily, "Her's is a fried pork chop sandwich~"

Nanaya's face flashed with black lines: "Your smile makes me feel like there is a story behind it."

Lily said calmly, "No, I'm just reminding you that my sister's bento has very few dishes~"

"Isn't that what a fried pork cutlet sandwich bento is?"

Fried pork cutlet sandwich is a very simple Western-style bento, which is just bread with fried pork cutlet and sauce spread on the pork cutlet.

Well, in terms of the quantity of ingredients, it's probably only slightly better than the rice + eel combination of the Matsuno Shiki Unagi Don. At least Miss Ryan's sandwich has the pork chop batter.

"Really, Director Nanaya, you really don't understand romance."

Lily muttered something, she seemed not very satisfied with Nanaya's answer, and left angrily.

However, her hint did give others some reminders.

"What the hell?! Never mind. Anyway, I'll start first."

Nanaya shrugged, and when he was about to pick up the food from his lunch box, his hand was grabbed by Shion.

"Hey, Nanaya." Shion said with a smile, "I think this piece of beef is good, can I have a taste?"

"Why?"

A few dark lines flashed across Nanaya's face.

"I told you, I think your beef is very good." Shion smiled happily, "After all, few people would buy such a high-end bento."

Nanaya bought a double-layer bento of charcoal-grilled combination. The second layer contained rice, while the first layer was filled with charcoal-grilled ox tongue and charcoal-grilled beef, as well as some other vegetables as garnish.

In terms of appearance, Nanaya's bento is indeed very tempting.

but--

"Isn't yours also very high-end? And it looks more expensive than mine..."

Compared to Nanaya's meat bento, Shion's seafood rice bento also looks very tempting.

Just on the top layer, Nanaya saw shrimps, shellfish and fish roe. Based on his experience, there should be sashimi underneath.

"But I suddenly want to eat meat. It's just one piece, you don't mind, right?"

There was something in Shion's smile that Nanaya couldn't refuse.

Nanaya replied with pain: "Okay, only one piece."

"Oh, thank you so much."

As she spoke, Shion picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks that she had never eaten before and put it into her mouth. While she savored the charcoal-grilled beef carefully, she cast contemptuous glances at the little girls around her.

"What's wrong, sister? Are you feeling unwell?"

Elle noticed that her sister Lin was holding the chopsticks in her hand very tightly with an expressionless face, so she asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I just think the beef is a little overcooked."

Rin rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

After eating a piece of beef, Elle said, "Really? I think it's just right. Is it because you are too picky?"

"Beef! I want some too!"

Seeing Shion's eyes, Shiki snorted somewhat unconvinced, and then a foodie smile immediately appeared on her face.

"It looks delicious! Hey, senior, give me some too."

Ryougi Shiki jumped up from her seat, ran to Nanaya's seat, put her index finger on her lips and begged, "My bento has many varieties, but the taste is too bland. Please use your beef to add some flavor to it."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of beef tongue and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm~ It's delicious! The texture is amazing and the sauce is just the right amount of saltiness!"

He made sounds of praise and waved his arms to express his excitement.

I don't know if it was intentional, but Shiki's fist would always brush against Shion's hair from time to time.

"Hey! Shiki!"

Ori said dissatisfiedly, "You are too rude."

"No way, Ori, you should try it too, it tastes really good~"

Ori was about to refuse directly, but Shiki picked up another piece of beef and put it to his mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Unable to resist her sister, Ori had no choice but to open her mouth and accept Shiki's feeding after obtaining Nanaya's consent.

"Hmm...it's really delicious."

Ori felt the deliciousness and narrowed his eyes.

"whispering sound."

Seeing Shiki's provocative look, Shion snorted unhappily.

"Oh, so cunning!"

Lily saw several people sharing Nanaya bento and called out immediately.

At this time, she had just made hot tea and was preparing to return to her seat with her lunch box.

[I just hinted that you should send food to my sister, why did they end up eating your lunch box? You will stay single if you keep doing this, future brother-in-law!]

Seeing the scene in front of her, Lily felt secretly anxious.
