Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 253 Chapter 250. Training and Upgrading
Under the "coercion" of Kyushu Cheng, the two came to the family restaurant together.

It's lunch time now, and there are still a lot of customers, and two-thirds of the seats are already occupied.

Looking at the crowded restaurant, Xiao Jing's face turned a little pale. He quickly lowered his head and covered his panic face with the brim of his hat.

It's so scary, there are so many people, I feel so regretful, I should have known I would have rejected Brother Cheng, Xiao Jing thought pitifully in her heart.

Kyushu Cheng held out two fingers to the clerk, and the clerk took them to their seats.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiuzhou Cheng casually handed the menu to Xiao Jing.

"Hey, I" Xiao Jing hesitated: "Hmm"

In such a crowded place, it felt like her throat was stuck, making it difficult to speak normally.

"Don't be nervous, take a deep breath." Jiuzhou Cheng reminded.

"Uh-huh~huh~" Xiao Jing did as he was told, his chest rising and falling, and then he calmed down a little, and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, that tomato meat sauce pasta is what you recommended, right?"

"A very wise choice." Jiuzhou Cheng nodded:

"The pasta at this restaurant is not a pre-made dish. The meat sauce is cooked by the head chef himself using a private recipe. I even went to the kitchen to help out last time. I'll also have a piece of pasta and a teppanyaki steak." ”

"Brother Cheng, you have a good appetite. Hehe." Xiao Jing couldn't help but make a joke.

At this time, a waiter came towards them with two glasses of cold water: "You two, have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Cheng, Brother Cheng, what's that?" The waiter was a very kind young woman, but Xiao Jing was too frightened to look at her, and he became awkward when speaking, so he had to turn to Kyushu Cheng for help.

However, Kyushu Cheng made an unexpected move.

He pointed to his mouth and throat, then shook his head in frustration.

"Sorry, let this girl help you order." The waiter showed sympathy in his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Jing:
"What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Jing suddenly became furious. Kyushu Cheng actually pretended to be mute in front of the waiter, because he wanted her to take the order!

Originally, Xiao Jing had to muster up the courage just to enter this restaurant, but she didn't expect that Kyushu Cheng would actually watch the excitement and play this trick with her without taking it too seriously!
"I, I." Xiao Jing was angry and frightened. He lowered his head and was speechless for a long time. His face almost turned red from holding it in.

But the waiter tilted his head and stared at her, and she was too embarrassed to say a word.

Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath.
Xiaojing took two more breaths, stared at the menu dizzily, and said with all his strength:
"Two, two portions. Tomato meat. One portion of pasta with meat sauce. Teppanyaki grill. Steak."

"I'm sorry, guest, can you please repeat that?" The waiter obviously didn't hear clearly. Not far away, a child lost his temper at the table, making the already noisy restaurant even noisier.

"Ugh." Xiaojing's face turned redder, and she was so anxious that she wanted to get under the table, but fortunately, her sunglasses and mask covered her embarrassed crying face.

"Guest?" The waiter came closer.

Ouch! How could it become like this!
Xiaojing complained endlessly in her heart, but being forced into a dead end, she had no choice but to give it a go. Her heart suddenly trembled, she took a deep breath, looked at the waiter, and shouted at a very fast speed:
"Two spaghetti with tomato meat sauce! One sizzling steak! Thank you very much!"

After saying that, she lowered her head again, not daring to look directly into the other person's eyes.

"Two tomato meat sauce pasta, one sizzling steak, I recorded it exactly." The waiter finally heard it clearly, smiled slightly, and wrote down the order: "Please wait a moment, this is made for you. ~"

After the waiter left, Kyushu Cheng coughed lightly and praised: "Not bad, talking to others is not that bad, right?"

"Brother Cheng." Xiao Jing lay on the table, exhausted, and muttered resentfully: "You are so bad."

"I'm sorry, I just made an impromptu decision. It's my fault if I make things difficult for you." Kyushu Chengya lay on the table and looked directly at Xiaojing through his sunglasses:

"Actually, I think the reason why you dare not talk to others is because you assume that others are malicious, so if you talk to them, you will be rejected, ridiculed, and even attacked and retaliated."

"That sounds like what I said." Xiao Jing nodded in disbelief, as if he had seen through his heart and could not refute.

"Although there is a lot of malice in this world, it is not so dangerous to even talk to others." Kyushu Cheng snorted and continued:

"Didn't you have no problem at all when you communicated with the waiter just now? She placed the order according to your request and her attitude was very polite. She wouldn't laugh or deny you, right?"

"Well, that's right." Xiao Dingding nodded.

"I am not a professional psychological counselor, so the method of helping you may not be professional. But I still want to do my best to help you, and I also hope you can trust me." Jiuzhou Cheng continued:

"Since you are worried that you will be hurt if you communicate with others, you can first try to communicate with others under my accompaniment. As I said before going out, I will protect you. Even if you are rejected or harmed, you don't have to worry. So when I'm here, you must have the courage to try your best to speak!"

"." Xiao Jing lowered his eyes, pondered thoughtfully for a moment, and said, "Well, I understand, thank you, Brother Cheng."

Most of the dishes in this Western restaurant are pre-prepared and only need to be heated slightly, so the food is served very quickly.

Their dishes were quickly brought to them. Two plates of spaghetti with tomato meat sauce were placed on iron plates. The thick magenta meat sauce was bubbling on the hot iron plate. The noodles wrapped in the sauce were also trembling slightly, emitting cotton-white smoke and smoke. The peculiar aroma of Western spices.

The steak that Kyushu Makoto ordered separately was grilled to medium rare, sizzling on the iron plate with oil, and the meat was fragrant. It was decorated with broccoli, carrot pieces and corn kernels on the side.

The graceful aroma that could never be found in instant noodles and fast food made Xiaojing's mouth water, and he could no longer resist the urge to taste it.

But considering that she was going out to eat with Brother Cheng today, she still had to be restrained and imitate the Japanese in the TV series with her hands clasped together and said:
"I'll start."

Halfway through the words, Xiao Jing was stunned.

It is obvious that Kyushu Makoto is a Japanese, but unlike other Japanese people who clasp their hands and say "I'm ready" before eating, he just dances with the knife and fork and starts to eat without any red tape.

"Hey" Xiao Jing blushed with embarrassment, silently picked up the knife and fork, and tasted the spaghetti in small bites.

To be honest, there has been controversy on Yanhuang online forums about whether Yanhuang people in Wano should say "I'm starting" before eating.

Some people say that when you go to the country of Wano, you should follow the local customs and imitate them; others say that even if you are in the country of Wano, you don't need to be completely assimilated by them, and you don't need to engage in this kind of formalistic behavior. Xiaojing is actually more inclined to the "as the Romans do as the Romans do" school. However, just now she wanted to learn the pre-dinner etiquette of the Chinese and say "I'm ready", but she found that Brother Cheng, a Chinese, didn't care about this custom at all and started eating without saying a word.

This absurd feeling is like the many self-proclaimed "petty bourgeoisie" people in Yanhuang who are studying Western food etiquette and quarreling over topics such as "how to hold the knife and fork elegantly" and "how to hold the wine glass authentically".

As a result, they turned around and saw the Queen of England holding the wine glass in the most "vulgar, rude and irregular" way at the party, but she could still maintain an elegant yet graceful demeanor, as if she was speaking to those who carefully studied "Western food etiquette" "The Yanhuang people laughed mercilessly.

The more Xiaojing thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She even wanted to hide under the table, hold her head and cry. She could only pray silently in her heart that Brother Cheng would not take this episode to heart and focus on the pasta that entered her mouth.

"Hmm!" A few strands of spaghetti mixed with tomato meat sauce entered her mouth, causing her to let out an uncontrollable sigh of praise.

In fact, the quick-frozen foods she buys also include pasta bentos, which are premade pasta that you can put in the microwave for one minute and enjoy. But compared to the pasta he tasted now, that kind of fast food was like a fluorescent light to Haoyue.

The meat sauce is thick and grainy, and when you take a bite, your mouth is filled with the collision of the aroma of meat and tomato sauce, embellished with the taste of herbs as a balance. The noodles are smooth and chewy, and it has a layered texture when eaten with the meat sauce.

In comparison, the frozen pasta Xiaojing ate before was just junk food made of cheap tomato sauce and mushy pasta mixed together like a paste.

The more she ate, the more enthusiastic she became. She didn't care that the food burned her mouth, and she couldn't stop eating one bite after another. Although she only dared to eat in small bites for fear of ruining her ladylike image, the plate of pasta was quickly wiped out by her, leaving her with no time to lick the plate.

You really have to go out to eat such delicious food, Xiao Jing sighed inwardly.

Kyushu Cheng had also finished eating the pasta and was cutting steak with a knife and fork.

The taste is quite average, just like the last time I came to work. Jiuzhou Cheng didn't have much experience with the taste of the dishes in this restaurant.

The last time he came here to work, the store owner gave him a large bag of unsold homemade tomato sauce before leaving. For the next three days, he had meat sauce for every meal. Instead of adding it to rice or noodles, he even used meat sauce on bread for breakfast.

It is undeniable that the tomato meat sauce in this restaurant has a unique taste, but Kyushu Cheng has eaten so much that he has become a little numb.

He cut the steak into several pieces, stuffed it into his mouth with the broccoli, and chewed it.

After finishing the meal, he looked up and saw that Xiao Jing had also finished the pasta on the plate, but he still looked like he was still unfinished.

"Do you want to order another plate?" Kyushu Cheng asked casually.

"Ah, no, no need!" Xiao Jing blushed and quickly waved his hand and shook his head.

Xiao Jing obviously has a bit of a lady complex and doesn't want to be thought of as a gluttonous eater.

But the greedy desire cannot be concealed. Although Xiao Jing denied it, he couldn't help but swallowed.

Kyushu Cheng saw her little move and greeted the waiter: "Another pasta!"

"Hey, Brother Cheng. It's really not necessary." Xiao Jing quickly wanted to stop him.

"I'm not full yet." Kyushu Cheng said.

"Well" Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in embarrassment: "Well, I'm sorry, Brother Cheng."

After Kyushu Cheng finished the steak, the second pasta was also served.

He divided half of the pasta with a knife and fork, and pushed the plate to Xiao Jing: "Just think of it as doing me a favor, I can only eat half, and I won't be able to eat any more."

Xiao Jing was stunned again, then reached out and took the plate.

Seeing Jiuzhou Cheng eating by himself again without looking towards her, Xiao Jing poked the pasta with a fork and then started eating slowly.

The delicious noodles, accompanied by the meat sauce, entered her taste buds again, but Xiaojing felt a mixture of five flavors in her heart.

Although Xiaojing is socially afraid, he is not a fool without emotional intelligence. Because of her introversion, she has become very good at observing words and emotions, and is particularly sensitive to other people's words and actions.

She could naturally see that Brother Cheng obviously didn't give her half of the noodles because he couldn't finish them, but did so out of consideration for her face.

Whether it is meeting for the first time, helping an NHK salesperson when he breaks into his house, or taking the initiative to help himself get rid of social fear training. Kyushu Makoto is like a little sun that radiates light and heat, unconditionally Shine on her.

However, people are all selfish. Even those so-called "good people" will not give unconditionally to strangers.

The two of them are just ordinary neighbors. Why is Kyushu Cheng willing to help him to this extent just when they meet?

Is he really the kind of saint like Jesus and Buddha?

No, don’t tell me!

An astonishing possibility flashed through her mind, frightening her to let go of the fork in her hand, and her body suddenly shook.

"What's wrong?" Jiuzhou Cheng heard the sound of the spoon falling and quickly raised his head and asked.

"Ah ah. No, it's nothing!" Xiao Jing quickly lowered his head, stared at the plate nervously, rolled up a few noodles with a fork, but his heart was already filled with waves.

Could it be that Brother Cheng fell in love with me at first sight?

No way? Is it really? But this was too sudden. We had only met a few times. Why would he fall in love with someone like me?

If you think about it carefully, Brother Cheng looks average in appearance, and his clothes are so-so; but he is very enthusiastic, exudes an approachable and reassuring charm, can speak Yanhuang dialect, and seems to like Yanhuang culture very much, we might We can talk.
But so scared! so afraid! I beg you! Give me some buffer time! This is too sudden! I-I don’t know what to do! How on earth am I going to respond!

Help, help, help! Me. I don’t hate Brother Cheng, but it was too sudden, and I was really scared! A person like me is clumsy and can't do anything well. Falling in love will definitely cause Brother Cheng a lot of trouble! Brother Cheng will hate me!

And what if Brother Cheng is not as beautiful as he appears, and he actually has many shortcomings? so afraid! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so scared! !
"Xiao Jing, do you have any plans for the afternoon? Do you want to go somewhere else for a walk?" Jiuzhou Cheng suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"I don't know," Xiaojing was overheated and replied inarticulately:
"Since it's Brother Cheng and us, haha. Let's go to other places for a walk in the afternoon. We can't let Brother Cheng down. What a good intention!"

Kyushu Cheng sighed worriedly, wondering why this girl started stuttering again? There were obviously signs of improvement just now, but are they going back again?
