Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 137

In the end, there was no doubt that Xia Zhi fell into this plan.The store manager and Aya Tachibana were already searching the menu online with their mobile phones. Even Xiaoxi stretched out her paws to take pictures on the screen of Aya Tachibana's phone, seeming to be choosing her favorite dishes.

The previous order is pretty normal, and if you work a little harder, you might actually be able to make it.Until Xia Zhi heard a sentence from Li Huacai's mouth, "Would you like to have another big magic panda mapo tofu", the style of the painting began to change during the whole discussion.

"Big Magic Panda Mapo Tofu, hey. I really wanted to eat it when I watched the animation. How about another Shenglong dumpling? Plus that golden smile, Xiaoyao will definitely like it."

"Go away! Don't take anime seriously, okay? Is that something a person can cook? Even if he can cook it, that person definitely can't be me! I can only cook home-cooked food!"

Mapo tofu, fried pork with green peppers, and shredded potatoes in vinegar, this is the limit of Xianyu’s cooking skills, right?
"The Big Magic Panda Mapo Tofu looks quite simple." Li Huacai muttered.

"You guy who doesn't even have any experience in cooking, stop making sarcastic remarks!"

How can the dishes in anime be made casually?
"But, look, the steps for making it are even listed on the Internet."

Tachibana Aya stretched out the phone in front of Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi glanced at it in disbelief, and then became confused.It's not that the production steps are really simple, but...

"You use Baidu Encyclopedia?"

Xia Zhi's tone and expression looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Huh? What's wrong? You basically all use this in China, right?"

"No, why did you go to the Chinese website to check?"

"That animation is called Chuka Ichiban, right? That dish is called Big Magic Panda Mapo, right? Then this dish must have come from China. If you want to make it more authentic, of course you have to go to a Chinese website Go find it. Don’t you even have basic logical thinking skills?”

Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki with disgust.

"What am I..."

However, Xia Zhi couldn't refute yet.

No matter what the situation, when Xia Zhi looks for any information on the Internet, he will only look for it on domestic websites, because... it is very troublesome to search on foreign websites. Not only does the language need to be translated, but also whether he can access overseas websites is a problem. .With that time, why not double it, maybe you will find it?

Therefore, Xia Zhi naturally ignored the method of checking information on foreign websites.But...it seems that accessing Chinese websites from abroad is not as troublesome as imagined?Is this really... a starfish?
But Xia Zhi is not the kind of person who needs to check something frequently.Besides, the information on the Internet nowadays can be true or false, and the information provided by popular science websites is almost the same. If you really want to find some information, it is better to go to the library to find relevant books and it is more reliable.

Natsuki looked at the steps listed on the screen of Aya Tachibana's phone, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem very difficult... maybe it could really be done?Xia Zhi reserved his opinion on this.But there is another thing that Xia Zhi thinks is rather magical, and that is...

"By the way, you can understand so many Chinese characters."

Although many of them are simple Chinese characters, there are also many proper nouns mixed in.If you are a beginner in Chinese, it is indeed very good to be able to understand these steps. Should I say that it is her?I sighed so much that I almost felt numb.

"Huh? There are no more than twenty steps in making it. Isn't it very simple? Do you still need to see this?"

Xia Zhi:? ? ?
"So you just found it and didn't understand it, and then you told me it was very simple?"

To actually believe what she said was simple, Xia Zhi felt that he must be the biggest fool in the world.

"what happened?"

"Shut up and just go and stay alone."

Natsuki deprived Aya Tachibana of her right to participate in the discussion and rejected the menu they had just imagined.

"I know what cooking I can do. I will make a decision in these two days, and then you just buy the ingredients."

There weren't many dishes that Xia Zhi could cook, and they were all too ordinary.Although he could have decided on the spot, Xia Zhi felt that it would be better to be more attentive.When you get back, you can ask your mother what dishes are suitable for snacks...

If not, it's not a big problem. At most, go to Zhonghua and try making some of the snacks made by Pastry King. It shouldn't be a big problem.Although it is definitely impossible to make something like a golden smile, but other things that do not require too much technical content can be made, right?
The big deal is to make roasted gluten... This kind of people-friendly snack is actually quite simple.

"So, is it such a happy decision?"

The store manager touched his chin and suddenly left what he had to prepare to others. He was a little confused now.

"Yes, it's such a happy decision. So store manager, please stop taking chances and come over quickly to help clean up. The store will be open for business in a while."

"Fine……"

The store manager put the paper bag in his hand on the counter.

"Just take these back and practice your skills... No, today's dinner will be left to you. Don't let down these high-quality ingredients."

With a wave of his hand, Xia Zhi didn't even want to cook today's dinner. Xia Zhi was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.Regardless of the two of them, Xia Zhi walked towards the dining table with a bucket and a rag and wiped the table.As usual, it's pretty clean, but you still have to wipe it carefully.

Just after wiping a table, Xiao Xi's shouts kept coming from behind.Xia Zhi, who felt something was not right, turned around and saw that Haixing, the store manager who had promised to help, was sitting on the high chair in front of the counter, playing with the cat.

"It's so cute. Is this the pet you bought?"

"No, I picked it up on the way to Xiazhi's house for dinner yesterday. It's called Xiaoxi."

"I see. I'm going to Xia Zhi's house for dinner...I see, that's it, I understand."

What on earth do you understand?Did you agree to come over and clean it together?

"Meow! Meow meow!..."

Xiao Xi was caressed by the store manager reluctantly, but his struggle didn't seem to be fully understood by the store manager. The store manager saw it shaking its head and stroking it even more happily.

"If you touch it for a while, it will be open for business."

Xia Zhi said quietly beside him. The store manager was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost threw Xiao Xi aside.Xiaoxi also broke free from the store manager's control and ran to the counter, but was quickly grabbed by Tachibana Aya.If she had been slower, she would have jumped into the counter... If she had really jumped in, she would have been cold.

"Xia Zhi... You know, I am the store manager. And the so-called store manager is a privileged class. Do you understand?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "I understand. The store manager is a fisherman at work, not doing business, and wants to be a shopkeeper. Do I have to tell Sister Xiao Baihe?"

"No! No need! Isn't it just cleaning? I'll take care of it! You go and sit at the counter."

The store manager enthusiastically pushed Xia Zhi into the counter, and went to clean with the cleaning tools.I really love Sayuri-san deeply (great reading).

He turned around and glanced at the cat-loving girl who was tilting her head to the other side. Anyway, it wasn't time to open the door yet, so it wasn't a big deal to let her play here for a while.

Xia Zhi was standing on the inside of the counter as before, but he had nothing to do, so he started grinding coffee beans again. It just so happened that the coffee powder at home was almost used up, and it was time to replenish it.Coffee beans not only have a strong aroma when they are roasted, but also have a faint aroma when they are ground. This is the aroma that the human body feels when the powder of coffee beans is inhaled in the air. .Roasted coffee beans are relatively dry and will not stick to files and other objects, but they are also easy to scatter.

Many times people say that they can smell the aroma of coffee even when grinding beans, which is probably the case now.

Xia Zhi was grinding coffee beans, Xiaoxi meowed, her front paws rested on the edge of the counter, she poked her head out, looked at Xia Zhi who was grinding coffee beans, stretched out her head and sniffed, and then slammed her head towards the counter. Drilling, but it was firmly grasped by Lihuacai, and it was just crawling hard on the net.

"What's wrong...do you want to go to that guy's place again?"

Tachibana complained.

Xia Zhi thought for a while: "It seems not. Does this little guy also like the smell of coffee?"

"Coffee? Do you want some for it?"

"That's not possible." Xia Zhi refused: "It's best not to give pets, especially cats and dogs, tea, coffee or similar things, as well as chocolate. The caffeine in coffee, the caffeine in chocolate Theobromine, and other things in tea... Anyway, these can cause poisoning in pets, so it’s best not to let them eat these things. You can’t feed them anything that contains a lot of sugar, fat, or additives. It, these are not suitable for pets to eat.”

"Oh... I didn't expect you knew a lot." Tachibana Aya was slightly surprised.

"It's just right. When the store manager introduced me to the types of coffee, he introduced me to some of the most expensive coffees in the world, including civet coffee. Because the production process of this coffee is quite interesting, so I remembered it. Came down. Then I also learned some little knowledge about pets.”

Produced in Indonesia, civet coffee is currently one of the most expensive coffees in the world, priced at hundreds of dollars per pound, and is also popular in international markets.However, the production process of this coffee has become very bloody and cruel after the market was flooded.

Civet cat coffee is produced by civet cats eating coffee beans and then excreting the indigestible coffee beans. Civet cats only choose the most mature and delicious coffee beans for consumption. This is a natural screening in itself, and the locals found that After these beans are fermented by civet cat stomachs, the coffee produced is better than ordinary coffee, so it has become a popular commodity in the international market.

However, the civet is a nocturnal animal that lives in the jungle, and its food intake is not large. The natural production of civet coffee is also very rare.In order to obtain more profits, businessmen imprisoned civet cats and forced them to eat continuously. Their living environment is so bad that they are almost endangered.This method of production was naturally resisted.

However, it is said that the goods are less and the price is higher. The less output, the higher the price, and the more people ignore the safety of their populations and make profits from it.Of course, this has also led to the frequent appearance of fake civet coffee in the market. It is better to say that most of the civet coffee is fake, and most of them use the label of "cat poop" to drive up the price.

Moreover, due to artificial breeding, in order to pursue yields, businessmen cannot feed the coffee beans to the civets through very fine screening. Even the coffee beans eliminated by the civets are not necessarily guaranteed in quality.

In addition, civet cat coffee also stimulated the innovation ability of these unscrupulous businessmen (laughing). A wave of coffee types driven by civet cat coffee that affected other animals also emerged from this, such as elephant dung coffee, Squirrel poop coffee and bird poop coffee have also appeared on the market...

This is a bloody farce composed of interests and cruelty.It makes people sigh.

Natsuki showed off her little knowledge to Tachibana Aya, and Tachibana Aya also listened very seriously, but the hands that controlled Xiao Xi no matter what showed the fact that she may not have listened very seriously.
