I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 159 Dinner at an izakaya at noon after the holiday
The lively and joyful time is always short-lived. The last half-day class of Shirakawa Kazuya's first semester of high school came to an end in a happy environment.

Teacher Taniguchi stopped him when school was over, "Shirakawa-kun, where are you going?"

"We will go out for dinner later for club activities." Shirakawa Kazuya answered with a smile.

Looking at the people around him, Teacher Taniguchi smiled and waved to him, "Okay, teacher, I won't waste your time. Your performance this semester has been great. Keep up the good work next semester!"

"Okay!" Nagata Chinatsu's gentle voice, Kawakami Masamune's flamboyant voice, and Tsukiike Chihaya's cold voice sounded all at once.

Watching Chihaya Tsukiike send away the black car driven by Miss Hirai, Chinatsu Nagata asked a little worriedly, "Is this okay? Take the bus to the store with us."

"Don't worry, she has other things to do besides picking me up." Yuechi Chihaya waved her hand and continued to look down at her phone.

Kawakami Masamune and Ando Megumi were sitting on the bench next to each other, talking and laughing happily; Tsukiike Chihaya lowered her head and looked at her mobile phone without saying a word, but as long as she sat there, she was the focus and center of the crowd. The circle itself spreads out to a distance of one meter, and not even a mosquito dares to get close; Mizuno Noh and Kinoshita Maki are talking about Kyoto. The river water is very clear and the sky is blue in the summer. It must be a good place to travel there during the summer vacation. Choose; while Shirakawa Kazuya was observing everyone idly, and finally set his sights on Nagata Chinatsu.

Nagata Chinatsu was looking up at a flowing cloud in the sky, felt his sight, turned around, and showed him a nice smile.

"Kazuya, what should we have for lunch?" She leaned over and asked Shirakawa Kazuya in a low voice with crooked eyebrows.

Shirakawa Kazuya felt the familiar smell coming from her body, lowered his head and smiled, "Please, the summer vacation has just begun, you want me to work part-time?"

"This does not count as part-time work, because I am not going to pay you for working." Nagata Chinatsu smiled proudly and raised an eyebrow at Shirakawa Kazuya.

"Then you are really a black-hearted boss." Shirakawa Kazuya spread his hands and put on a helpless expression, making Chinatsu Nagata cover his mouth and laugh.

The bus blew its whistle briefly and slowly drove into the station. People got on the bus one after another and occupied the two rows at the back.

It was the same car as before, but what was different from before was that Shirakawa Kazuya got out of the car halfway and came to the Nagata family's izakaya.

He opened the wooden door and met Iwata Ikki who was about to open the door. He saw Shirakawa Kazuya and showed a friendly smile, "Hey, isn't this the general? It's rare to come here in the middle of the day. Rare visitors, rare visitors! Will you guide me in my work?"

Ikki Iwata was the "warrior who charges for love" as Mrs. Miyagi jokingly called him when he moved from Kagoshima to Fukuoka to work with his girlfriend. He has been working diligently since he came here, and he and Shirakawa Kazuya There are also many exchanges on cooking skills. Because Shirakawa Kazuya has the [tip of the tongue of the God of Cookery], he often points out some of his shortcomings in cooking skills, so he sometimes jokes that Shirakawa Kazuya is his teacher.

"How could I? Your cooking skills are no worse than mine now. I'm not going to be a chef today, I'm going to be a customer! I want to have a good taste of your cooking." Shirakawa Kazuya smiled and opened the door to let the people behind him Nagata Chinatsu and others walked in.

"Then I have to be very energetic!" Ikki Iwata squatted at the door, smiled and lit a cigarette.There were not as many customers at noon as there were at night. At first glance, there were only two or three tables of customers in the izakaya.Shirakawa Kazuya and the others found a large table in the corner and gathered in a circle, and the atmosphere slowly became heated under Kawakami Masamune's gags.

"Isn't Xiangzi coming today at noon?" Nagata Chinatsu asked, and the others also looked over. They all had a good impression of Xiangzi, and they also hoped that she could come over and play together.

Shirakawa Kazuya smiled and shook his head, "She hasn't had her summer vacation today yet, so she won't be able to come."

"Then can she still make it to our trip to Noko Island in a few days?" Mizuno Nono was a little worried.

"Yes, she will have a day off the day after tomorrow, so there will be no delay." Shirakawa Kazuya felt a little hungry, and said to a few people with a smile, "Let's order first, order now, it will take some time for it to be served. "As a senior chef, he knows these processes very well.

"Okay, Mr. President, please come first!" Kawakami Masamune shouted and respectfully handed the menu to Tsukichi Chihaya.

Tsukiike Chihaya flipped through it casually, then threw the menu on the table and looked at Shirakawa Kazuya, "You are the most familiar with this place, so just order. I'm not picky about food."

Shirakawa Kazuya looked at the other people and saw that they all nodded. Without any politeness, he went directly to the kitchen to find Ikki Iwata.

"Iwata-kun, there are seven people here at noon, you can look at the arrangement and bring out today's special dishes." Shirakawa Kazuya leaned against the glass window, and said to Iwata who had just returned to the kitchen after smoking.

"Okay, I just want you to taste my cooking!" Iwata Kazuki took out a piece of pork from the refrigerator, put it on the chopping board, and began to sharpen the knife with a smile.

This lunch cannot be said to be sumptuous. Iwata Ikki first served a pre-dinner dessert, which was a dried apple dish.The sweetness and slight acidity of the pulp made Kawakami Masamune's appetite whet his appetite, and he also looked forward to the next dish.Shirakawa Kazuya tasted it and nodded secretly. Last time he and the other party shared this dessert, and the taste has obviously improved a lot this time. It can be seen that Iwata Ikki's learning attitude is still very good.

The next thing Ikki Iwata brought to the table were fried fish and clams and croquettes.Croquettes are a dish that Shirakawa Kazuya has only made before. Needless to say, the texture of fried fish and shellfish is very similar to Western-style tempura. The ingredients are rich, including krill, squid and various shellfish meats. , wrapped in a coat and deep-fried in a pan, then sprinkled with rich seasonings. It looked golden in color and steaming, making Mizuno and others swallow their saliva.

With a crisp "click" sound, the golden and crispy shell is broken into pieces in your mouth. The soft, white and tender fish meat inside is not fishy at all, but has a light fragrance.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Megumi Ando ate several different kinds at once, her mouth was shiny, and she was full of praise for this dish.

"Yes, the fragrance of the dough, the slight acidity of the lemon juice, and the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, the three blend together to give people a great experience!" After Kinoshita Maki finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise. .

"Haha, I've been reading a lot of food review magazines recently, so I consciously imitated them. I feel that although I can't cook and I can't be a chef, I might be able to be a food critic or something." Kinoshita Maki scratched her head. , a little embarrassed.
