Ep. 127: Kurita e Mariko visitam Yamaoka ausente, enfrentam fogo e teste de culinária

127

One winter, Yamaoka does not turn up for work for three days so Kurita and Mariko go to visit Yamaoka at home. They meet Ms. Chiyo who takes them to his rooms on the top of a run-down apartment building. Ms. Chiyo is the wife of chef of the Gourmet Club and has known Yamaoka since he was a child. She embarrasses the women by saying they would make good marriage candidates for Yamaoka . A fire breaks out in the adjacent building, and while Yamaoka and other residents rush to extinguish the fire, Ms. Chiyo instructs the two women to prepare food for the firefighters, and also to assess their cooking skills. The women only find meagre ingredients, but Kurita finds some Daiginjō and together they heat it up with water to make a sweet hot warming drink, then use the otheringredients to make a delicious savoury salmon soup. They both receive credit from Ms. Chiyo for their effort, but Yamaoka later learns that Kurita requested the cooking instructions by phone from the chef Mr. Okaboshi. (Source: Wikipedia)
