Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 136

After Mr. Sasaki's exam time was over, it was time for Japanese high school students to show off their youthful vitality.Obviously, this does not include Xia Zhi, who had already slipped out of the school gate and went to work in a coffee shop.

Xia Zhi glanced at the phone.

Oh, it actually took 20 seconds to walk from the classroom to the door. It seems that I am already old.

Xia Zhi, who lamented that his sword was old, did not dwell too much on this completely useless thing, and continued to move towards the coffee shop.After three o'clock in the afternoon, it is the time when adults are busy and it is also time for students to expand themselves. There are really few pedestrians.

Occasionally, a few people pass by, either a group of housewives hanging out with nothing to do, or office workers rushing from one end to the other.Even a city as laid-back as Chiba cannot relax when it should be busy.Everyone is a slave to money, no one can escape!

When Xia Zhi came to the coffee shop after a long journey, as expected, Tachibana Aya had arrived.But she didn't go in. As for the reason, Xia Zhi also knew it very clearly.But Xia Zhi still said hello for the time being.

"What are you doing here?"

"Meow!"

Xiaoxi struggled and jumped out of Tachibana Aya's arms and ran towards Xia Zhi's feet.Tachibana Aya looked despairingly at this white-eyed wolf that ate her own, used her own, and ran over happily when someone came. Oh no, white-eyed cat, she felt that life was full of injustice.

Xiao Xi ran around Xia Zhi's feet twice, but Xia Zhi didn't dare to walk too fast for fear of kicking it.He simply bent down and reached out to grab Xiao Xi. The latter obediently let Xia Zhi hold it, wagging its tail happily and meowing.Tachibana is very unbalanced.

"Why! How am I inferior to him!"

Tachibana Aya cried to Xiaoxi, but the line was obviously not a good line.

"Watch your words. Also, why did you bring it with you?"

Natsuki carried Xiao Xi and walked to Tachibana Aya, then stretched out Xiao Xi in front of Tachibana Aya, motioned Tachibana Aya to stretch out her hand, and then followed Xiao Xi.Xia Zhi put Xiaoxi back into Tachibana Aya's hand. The other party struggled in Tachibana Aya's hand for a while, then screamed twice at Xia Zhi who abandoned him ruthlessly, and then stopped struggling in despair. .

"Did you see that? I am the only one who is sincerely good to you. Men are all big pigs. Don't always think about running to him."

"Can you stop talking about Chinese Terrier in Japanese? Where did the big pig's hooves come from?"

"Oh, man."

"Still addicted to playing?"

Xia Zhi looked at her with an unkind expression, and Tachibana thought for a while.

"I was wrong."

Xia Zhi pushed the door of the coffee shop and found that it was not unlocked.

"Why don't you go in, the store manager hasn't come yet?"

"I'll play with Xiaoxi for a while outside."

Xia Zhi didn't want to worry about her, he had to do his own thing first.Taking out the key, Xia Zhi pushed the door open. The wind chimes rang as Xia Zhi pushed the door open, and a cat meow was mixed in.Well, meow.

Natsuki looked back at Tachibana Aya, who was standing behind him pretending that nothing happened.

"Remember what I said yesterday?"

"I know, I'll go in and have a glass of water and then take it somewhere else to play."

"What should I do if I lose a lot of hair?" Xia Zhi glared at her.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoxi is about two months old, and she doesn't shed hair that easily."

"I hope so."

Natsuki walked in first, followed closely by Tachibana Aya.Before working, Natsuki went to the staff room to change clothes, while Tachibana Aya sat in the seat where she usually sat, facing Natsuki's fishing seat.Although she was holding the cat, she still had a sense of discretion and did not put the cat carelessly on the counter, otherwise Xia Zhi might even have the intention of killing her.

Xiaoxi also quietly lay on Tachibana's lap, wagging her tail lightly, being slapped by Tachibana over and over again from beginning to end.Xia Zhi felt speechless after watching it.

"If you keep doing this, you'll get rid of all the hair that doesn't shed. Do you think it's just wool?"

"Oh, oh, oh, I accidentally couldn't stop."

Only then did Tachibana Aya stop her hand from wanting to touch Xiao Xi's body.

Natsuki poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of Tachibana Aya.

"It's not open yet, so I'll let you play here for a while. When it opens later, you can take it out to play, or go to the staff room to play, because I don't know if any of the guests are allergic to cats, so there's nothing you can do about it. . Also, if you dare to leave the cat hair here after I finish cleaning, I won’t even give you cold water next time.”

"Wow, you are too unfeeling. I am also a guest here, but I am a little special, I just brought a cat."

"It's not a dragon slayer, what kind of cat do you want?"

"Emmmmmmmm..."

Li Huacai was silent for a while, probably choosing words.

"You also said you won't let me play Chinese jokes, so you can just play Japanese jokes?"

"...less nonsense."

Xia Zhi retorted slightly weakly.

"Only high-ranking state officials are allowed to set fires, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps!"

Natsuki thought about how to calm down the increasingly excited Tachibana Aya.

Return to nothing?As simple as it is, it's also miserable.

There was no better way to say it, so Xia Zhi thought it would be better to leave her alone.And I still have things to do.Then, the store manager opened the door in a hurry and walked in. There was a paper bag in his hand, and he didn't know what was inside.

"So you've already arrived."

Although it was a sentence of surprise, the store manager didn't express any surprise at all.Have you gotten used to it?

"Yeah, compared to a certain fish shop manager, I did come earlier."

"What's wrong with fishing? I'm going to do business!"

The store manager snorted confidently, but Xia Zhi always felt that he had already guessed what he meant by business, and he had almost guessed what the contents of the paper bag were.So this person has almost been figured out by Xia Zhi.

"Oh, I went to many places to buy super high-quality flour, wheat flour, carefully selected high-quality eggs..."

"Hey, wait a minute, are you really going to do something serious?"

Xia Zhi had a look of disbelief on his face. He originally thought that the store manager's business was nothing more than going to Miss Les Mills's concert, a new game launch event, or buying some new limited edition figure. Ah, stuff like that, in short, it’s just some unreliable stuff with lots of tricks.

did not expect!This store manager actually has a day to do his job!Although Xia Zhi still didn't know what he meant by business, he still admitted that what he said was indeed business.

Is there anyone who has nothing to do to buy high-quality ingredients for fun?Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?
"Of course! I'm the kind of man who becomes very reliable at critical moments!"

The store manager boasted shamelessly.

"Co-author, you also know that you are usually unreliable, right?"

But Xia Zhi could always find the right place to attack his weak points, which made the store manager furious.

"Can't you say something nice?"

Sorry, I already finished my good words when I first came here.Xia Zhi thought silently.

"So, why did you spend so much time buying these ingredients? Have you finally decided to change the coffee shop into a restaurant?"

"Bah! What are you talking about? I'm going to open this coffee shop until I die."

"Then why did you buy these ingredients? Even if you are making some food or snacks at night, I have never seen you choose the ingredients like this."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Next Wednesday is Xiaoyao's birthday."

Xia Zhi:? ? ?
"You just told me now that Xiaoyao's birthday is next Wednesday?"

Xia Zhi glared at the store manager, who looked confused.

"It's only Monday. There are still nine or ten days until next Wednesday. Isn't it very late?"

"I just came back from Tokyo yesterday. You told me that I even bought Xiaoyao's birthday gift yesterday!"

Do you still have to go to the mall again in the end?This is too vicious.

Although he doesn't necessarily have to go to Tokyo, Xia Zhi really doesn't like the feeling of shopping in a crowded mall.

"You don't have to buy gifts or anything like that. Wouldn't it be nice to come over and celebrate your birthday together?"

"It's your birthday, you'd be happier if you received a gift, right?"

Although Xia Zhi himself would not be disappointed because he missed his birthday or did not get a gift on his birthday, he would indeed feel happy if he received a gift on his birthday. There is no contradiction between the two.But Xiaoyao and Xia Zhi are different. Although they will be happy to receive the gift, Xiaoyao may also be disappointed because he did not receive the gift.

Is this what human beings do to disappoint such a lovely child who has a good relationship with me?
"I don't know about your financial situation? Don't worry about it."

"There will always be a way, and who says you have to buy gifts I can't afford?"

"that……"

While the two were arguing, Tachibana Aya raised her hand at the right time.The two of them looked at the girl sitting in front of the counter playing with her cat and fish.

"Since Xia Zhi wants to give Xiaoyao a gift, and you don't want him to spend money, store manager, why don't you let Xia Zhi cook a dinner for Xiaoyao?"

The store manager's eyes lit up and he thought this seemed like a good idea.But Xia Zhi's face turned dark. He felt that the reason why Tachibana Aya came up with this idea must be more than half of her own desires.As she said, she does have a considerable interest in Chinese cuisine, and it is not just a desire to eat delicious food. Tachibana Aya's actions must contain several purposes that she finds meaningful. .

For example...based on novels.By the way, you can also get a delicious meal. If it were Xia Zhi, he would have to do the same.

"It's a good way to get the best of both worlds, right?"

Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki proudly, but the latter had no expression on his face.

"Go out and play with the cat by yourself."

"Hey...how can you chase people away? Isn't this a good idea?"

Li Huacai looked at the store manager, and the store manager felt that it was very comfortable for him to be able to relax that night, and Xia Zhi's cooking was not bad...

Ok.

"So happy to decide."

Natsuki looked at the serious-looking store manager and Tachibana Aya who smiled like a fox who stole a chicken, and felt that he was still too kind.
