Aira's Choice Man

Eps 73s

Aira gasps to wake up when she hears the door of her room open, while Erigo walks slowly and settles down so as not to make a sound that can disturb Aira without realizing that his wife is awake.

Aira noticed her husband coming home wearing all-black formal attire. At first glance Aira glanced towards the wall clock of her room which showed at 1 am. While Erigo went into the bathroom to clean himself up, Aira sat down and turned on the nightstand light.

When Erigo came out of the dressing room, Aira smilingly greeted her husband. "You're home late." Said.

Erigo put his body on the bed and sighed. Aira tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so lethargic? Did something happen?"

"I'm hungry. Can you make me some food?" Erigo said without answering Aira's question.

They're going downstairs. While Aira was boiling instant noodles, Erigo suddenly said he wanted to learn to cook. Aira looked at Erigo's face. "You want to learn to cook? Why?" Tanya Aira was curious.

Erigo's face looked stiff. "I mean, I have to learn to cook. My mom's good at cooking, I gotta learn to cook from her."

"Why?" Aira was confused. "Is there a problem?."

"If I miss my mother's cooking, it'll be nice if I can make it." Erigo said grimly. "I'll make it for you and the kids. Isn't that nice?"

"You want to learn from your mother?"

"Yes, right. I want to learn how to cook the menus my mom used to make."

Aira pondered while watching her husband eat without taste. "Why so suddenly? Is there a problem?" Ask Aira again.

"Look," Erigo sighed. "I attended my friend's mother's funeral today." Speak slowly. "And I heard something."

"What did you hear?" Aira focused on what Erigo said.

"Well.. Like, 'why didn't I take a picture with my mom when she was alive?' 'Why don't I appreciate my mom's cooking?'. Things like that. Looks like she misses her mother's cooking."

Aira listened in silence. 'Those things must have affected Erigo.' Thought Aira, especially when she saw that now her husband was just stirring food in front of her. Erigo must have thought a lot about his mother's health condition.

Down Erigo continued, "He advised me, to appreciate my mother's cooking more."

The next day, Erigo and Aira come to visit Erigo's parents' house early in the morning. Erigo ruffled his mother's kitchen until she asked. "What are you doing?"

Erigo just shrugged his shoulders. "Just looking for something I can eat." The answer.

"There's cereal in the fridge, and milk. Just eat because lunch is still a long time." Answer his mother indifferently.

Erigo scowling. "But I want to eat something else. Didn't you cook something?"

His mother looked at him as if he was a freak. "Usually you eat breakfast cereal, bread, eat burgers, fried chicken. Then why are you suddenly looking for other food?" Ask her mother when she enters the kitchen.

His mother approached the stove, opened some covered pots and announced. "Mother has beef bone soup, beef rib soup, and radish soup."

"Gee.. You cook this much?" Erigo asked with widened eyes.

"Mom always cooks a lot. There's stews too." Answer mother. "Mother doesn't make spicy soup because you don't want to eat it. You said it was fishy and spicy." Complain mother. "You don't eat spicy stir-fried meat, because it's also spicy." Her mother glared in annoyance, "But Aira told mom that you ate spicy seafood with Aira the first time she went home. You bad boy."

Erigo grimaced at his mother's nagging. "All right, I'm guilty." Cetusya.

"So what do you want to eat?"

"mmm.. Rice and beef bone soup. I want dried seaweed." Erigo.

"Yesterday you don't want seaweed, how dare you ask seaweed to mother now, first ponder your attitude." Omel's mother again but still presents it to Erigo. "The seaweed is running out, I have to bake it again."

Erigo ate his food. Looking at his smiling mother. "It's gotta be roasted first?"

"of course. Mother roasted it every day. Only then will your father eat seaweed, because he's picky."

"How to bake it?" Ask Erigo.

"Mother roasted it by applying a little oil."

"Are you going to roast seaweed again today? If you're gonna bake it, I'm gonna help you."

"Help mom with what?" Mother laughed. "That's easy to make. I can do it myself." Say again.

"I want to see and learn."

"Learn what? Roasting seaweed?" His mother chuckled amusedly.

"of course. Mom said it was easy. So I'll learn the easiest."

"Why are you so curious? Just eat it." Cetus. Even so, Hellena left the dining table and prepared the ingredients to bake the seaweed.

After Erigo finished eating, his mother took him to the kitchen. Hellena took out three ingredients. After laying the pan flat, he lit the stove and adjusted the fire.

"This is how you make it." Saying his mother, giving an example. "On this rough side, mother applied perilla oil."

Erigo watched his mother's hand that rubbed the oil nimbly. "Then I just sprinkled salt. See it? Like this." His mother again.

"I've never seen this before." Erigo said then reached into his pants pocket and picked up the phone. "I want to record a video."

"Why are you filming a video? Just look at the process."

Erigo watched as his mother roasted the seasoned seaweed earlier on a hot frying pan and flipped it over. The color of the seaweed becomes very beautiful and shiny because of the oil. "I want to try it." Cetus Erigo's.

"It has to be cut." His mother then gave the cut to Erigo. "Try it. It feels different."

Erigo tried it and nodded. "It feels different when freshly roasted. It's crispy and delicious."

The mother smiled at her son. "I'll try to bake it."

The mother handed Erigo the grilling task. Just now that he was roasting, Erigo had already made his seaweed scorch on one side. "Hey.. That's not how to bake it. The position should be flat, should not be wrinkled." Omel his mother again.

Erigo pouted while flipping seaweed over the smoky pan. "It's not my fault. This was indeed contorted from the start." - protested.

"Whatchu mean? The seaweed was wrinkled from the start?" The mother laughed.

They finish roasting the seaweed for thirty minutes and make a full dus. "It could be over in two days." Said mother.

Erigo looked surprised. "How much is it for just two days?" Ask not to believe. "After all this work?"

His mother looked at him. "Even after mom cooks a lot of food, you still complain."

Erigo grimaced again. "What are you going to cook for lunch?" Erigo asked while cleaning the kitchen table.

"Is there something you want me to make?" Ask the mother.

"I want a taoge." Erigo. "When I was in school, my mom used to make me taoge. My friends would trade side dishes for mother-made taoge because it tasted so good."

"Oh really? Is that delicious?" Erigo's mother smiled again.

"really. It was very tasty and seemed to be very easy to make, although there was definitely a technique." Erigo said again. "I guess I'll be able to learn how to make it if there's instruction from mom. That's why I'm gonna film it." Erigo.

After all, the video he recorded will be a memory for everyone including himself and his mother. That's why Erigo did it.

Erigo starts installing cameras and filming his mother washing the taoge. "Mother, after washing the taogenya, I dress up a little."

"Why? Is mom not pretty?" Ask Helena while laughing. "Does mom look like a witch now?" Ask again and laugh at yourself.

"I'm going to record a cooking show with Hellena Galleni." Erigo chuckled and pushed his mother into the room to get dressed.

"Why do you have to dress up to make a taoge dish?" Ask her mother amusedly.

"Just dress up, there's no need to be heavy. We're gonna make it fun." Cetus Erigo's. She wants her mother to look beautiful.

After her mother polished a little makeup, they went back to cooking. His mother put the oil in the frying pan, Erigo glared and questioned it. "Oil?"

The mother did not answer him instead of directly putting a pile of many taoge into the pan. "Is that not excessive?" Ask Erigo again.

"It's going to shrink." Answer the mother briefly and then cover it with a lid of the pot.

After the taogenya shrank, the mother continued to include some herbs, soy sauce, chili powder, chili paste, sliced leeks and garlic.

"How much is it? Why didn't you say?"

The mother chuckles. "Mom doesn't know. Just give me enough." Answer origin. "At the same time, mothers usually do not taste the spices." His mother laughed at Erigo's confusion. "Aren't you recording it?"

"I recorded it with a half-spoon of something, or two spoons of lots and stuff." Erigo exploded in laughter.

"See this." Said his mother, chuckling. "If all the herbs are in, it's gonna be dry, so you need to stir them to keep them from burning." Say her mother again.

Erigo concentrated again. Seeing the attractive red color, Erigo took a little to taste. "Gee.. Here comes mom. Just like I ate in school."

"really? Is it good?" His mother tasted and nodded with satisfaction. "It's delicious." Disconnecting. "Of course, because the people who cook are still the same. Your mother hasn't changed." Say again.

Erigo nodded and laughed.

"All right, mom's done." His mother exclaimed while sprinkling sesame seeds and turning off the stove fire. Erigo recorded the results of his cooking and smiled with satisfaction.

"Mother." Erigo cried excitedly. "Let's make one more dish."

"don't want. I'm hot." Said his mother while releasing the cooking apron.

"It's okay. You can do anything today, I'll help you."

"don't want. What the hell are you doing? There go." Get rid of her mother while laughing.

"I can't go anywhere. My wife and children are sleeping in the upper room." His plain speech made his mother laugh again.

"Totally so." His mother spoke briefly.

"What else is in the refrigerator?" Ask Erigo. "Do we also have to cook Dad's favorite food?"

"There's a frozen blue crab." His mother nodded. "We can make spicy crab for your father. He's very picky about food."

"It's okay. I'll help mom."

After that, they went back to the kitchen. Erigo helped the mother put on the cooking apron again while continuing to record. The mother and son enjoyed cooking together and the mother laughed more often. They made wonderful memories today.
