Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 164

"Tachibana-senpai, please go over there and play with Xiaoxi, and don't interfere with my work."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Tachibana Aya pretended to cry.

"I'll throw you out if you make trouble again." Xia Zhi extended a helping hand to his colleagues.

Tachibana Aya made a face at Natsuki, then held Xiaoxi in her arms and walked to the corner where she used to stay.Mayumi glanced at her helplessly, then turned to look at Xia Zhi.

"Can't you think of a way?"

"any solution?"

"Let Tachibana-senpai, um... be a little more normal."

"How could I know such a method? Rather, she has been like this since I met her. How do I know what she looks like when she is normal?" Xia Zhi curled her lips.

So you are the source of evil!Very angry.But there is nothing we can do.

Mayumi felt like she was going crazy.

"Aren't you Tachibana-senpai's boyfriend? Let her be honest. If she interferes for a while longer, I won't be able to complete my work."

Xia Zhi is very glad that he is not drinking coffee or anything, otherwise he would probably spit it out in one gulp.

"What a girlfriend, don't talk nonsense."

"You are the only one who believes in me. I have never seen Tachibana-senpai listen to someone so much."

Xia Zhi was shocked for the second time.

"You call that obedient?"

When did the cultural differences between China and Japan get to this point? Is their definition of obedience too loose?But looking at Mayumi's eyes staring at him like a little tiger, it didn't feel like she was lying... But he still didn't feel that Tachibana Aya was obedient.There must be something wrong with this world.

Mayumi snorted and decided not to talk to this person who was so good at taking advantage of him. She had to finish the work first, and she had to clearly distinguish priorities when doing things.Although he is not bad, his personality is too bad.

Xia Zhi feels that he should soon adapt to their way of thinking, but now he feels that he still doesn't understand enough. For example, he can't quite understand why he and Tachibana Aya are regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend.

In school, Shiraishi Rika can still figure it out for the time being. After all, the three of us have been eating together at noon every day since who knows when, and we don’t know why the classmates at the front and back tables always say very understandingly, "I want it." I'm going to have dinner with others, I'll let you use this seat for now." Then go to other places to eat with others, or simply eat alone on a bench outside.

Did you agree to go find someone else to have dinner with?Was it a pigeon?

It's too real.

Even so, there is still some logical connection.What now?I thought Tachibana Ayai was too intrusive and asked her to go aside. Can these be regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend?Buddha.Xia Zhi really wanted to pry open the heads of these island girls to see what structure was inside and why it was different from ordinary people's.

Get those things out of your head.Since you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it yet. After all, there are many things in the world that cannot be figured out by just imagining. Just like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, you can imagine it just by imagining. What comes out?You might as well go to Baidu. Maybe some senior experts will come out with a bunch of witnesses and material evidence to argue with you.

The cleaning work is as simple and fast as ever, and Mayumi, who is much more efficient than Xia Zhi, can also clean faster. To be honest, Xia Zhi feels that if the competition for his job becomes more intense, he will lose his job.The outstanding people in this world are really better than the last, and Xia Zhi, who is probably only at the bottom, is extremely grateful that he is first come, first served.

Although his gratitude has long been wiped out by the actions of the store manager, when he first arrived, he was very grateful that he was able to work in such a relaxed environment.Although the workload fluctuates due to the unreliable behavior of the store manager himself, it is okay without the traditional feeling of superiors and subordinates.

Even though this will be overwhelmingly disadvantageous to me when dealing with superiors in the same company in the future, it is a little too early to consider this now.In what kind of environment you work, you should have the corresponding spirit.

You, a person who works in a company, can't possibly dress like an artist doing performance art, right?What's more, there are many things in so-called art that ordinary people can't understand. If they don't explain it, they basically don't know what they express. They only know "Ah, this painting looks really funny" and "This painting is so good." "It's quite realistic." "Is this the world-famous painting? I can't see what's so good about it..." and so on.Of course, there are also players who may not understand the connotation of the work even if you explain it, and Xia Zhi is one of them.

The understanding of beauty is too crude, but it feels okay.

Ah, before I knew it, it was time to open the store...

Natsuki was originally going to walk to the front of the store and turn the sign to the [OPEN] side, but Mayumi who was passing by had already done it for her.It feels like...a little bit cool?This feeling of watching others work and then being so aboveboard and lazy myself.Is it so exciting to be a store manager?
Xia Zhi suddenly discovered the reason why the store manager was often lazy and did not work.

But I am not the store manager, so this is just an experience card.I'm a little angry.

Two hours of work is not a long time, and it passed before I knew it.Mayumi changed her clothes and bid farewell to Natsuki, who also started to prepare dinner.As I said before, the dish does not only depend on what the chef can do, but also on the type and quantity of ingredients. Unfortunately, today there happened to be only some carrots and curry powder.

Xia Zhi looked at the empty refrigerator and didn't know what to say.

"Xia Zhi, what are you going to eat later?"

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at her.

“Quick curry.”

"Eh...I don't want to eat that..."

"You can't help it if you don't want to eat it. This is the only thing in the refrigerator. How about a carrot?"

"……never mind."

Tachibana Aya lay down on the counter as if she had exhausted all her energy.Xiaoxi lay on her knees, wagging her tail.

"Xia Zhi, add another cup of coffee!"

"Hold on."

Xia Zhi closed the refrigerator door and went to make coffee.

Do you want to eat instant noodles?Forget it, I might as well eat instant curry... Tachibana rejected his ideas one after another.She hates fast food very much. If you ask why...it's probably because she ate too much before.After all, he is a contestant without a cooking progress bar.

"What are you doing?"

Natsuki, who came back from delivering food, looked at the listless Tachibana Aya and said.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little unhappy because I came here specially to eat instant curry."

"Generally, do people still think seven or eight when they are eating together?"

You can show some face.

"Isn't instant curry pretty good? At least I like it."

“Would you still think so if you ate instant curry for over a year?”

"Although I won't, I'm still shocked that you've been eating instant curry for a year." Xia Zhi glanced at her: "Can't you learn how to cook by yourself?"

"Although I have tried it before, I found it very troublesome and gave up after learning it for a few days. It is not very interesting."

"The most important thing is that it's not interesting to you, right?"

Xia Zhi heard her true meaning with just one look...and one ear.But as far as Xia Zhi is concerned, cooking is actually quite fun, and the key is that it saves money.When fun and money are combined, it's worth learning on your own.

"That kind of thing is fine no matter what..."

"Instant noodles or instant curry, which one do you want?"

"...instant curry."

"You are too real."

Xia Zhi didn't even know what to say about her.After thinking about it, I decided to use the ultimate trick.

"I'll process it with other ingredients later."

Tachibana Aya's expression suddenly turned into a smile, and Xia Zhi knew that he was being plotted again.He glared at Tachibana Aya, but Tachibana Aya's thick skin was too thick-skinned to be shaken by Natsuki alone.A tree without bark will definitely die, but a person who is shameless will be invincible.

"Well. Hurry up, I'm a little hungry."

"I owe you in my previous life."

Xia Zhi sighed.

"Hehe, then we are really destined. You owed me something in your previous life, and I will be waiting for you to pay me back in this life."

"...In China, that's not what that sentence means."

Xia Zhi pouted.I walked into the counter and started to make preparations.Fortunately, there was enough seasoning except for the only remaining carrot.In line with the principle that whatever is mixed together and cooked can be eaten, Xia Zhi cut the carrots into pieces and then finished seasoning the curry according to the amount in his mind.

It took more than 20 minutes in total, and the instant curry that was fine-tuned by Xia Zhi was completed.Regardless of the taste, at least the large pieces of carrots in the curry make it look less monotonous than instant curry.As for the taste, to be honest, Xia Zhi has never tried to do this. Although he has made curry before because of interest, he did it all by himself from raw materials to seasoning, and in the end, although he was barely successful, But the taste is not that satisfying.

The ratio of time-consuming consumables to results was so miserable that Xia Zhi once gave up the idea of ​​making curry by himself, but if someone wanted to do it, he would still take a look, and if it was the store manager who wanted to do it, he would also give it a try.So it’s more or less a bit of experience.As for making instant food raw like this... this is the first time I eat dumplings on New Year's Day.

Therefore, Xia Zhi is not sure about the taste.I'm looking forward to watching Tachibana Aya...

"Give."

Natsuki handed the plate with curry and rice to Tachibana Aya. There was nothing special about the expression on his face. He looked calm, just like before.

"I'm starting." Tachibana said softly, then took a spoonful and ate it.Judging from the way Tachibana Aya tasted it carefully, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it?
"Although it's still instant curry...but it's much better than what I had before. It's amazing."

Tachibana Aya's expression looks quite normal.Xia Zhi also started eating with hesitation.

...Well, it's actually okay except it's a bit spicy.

That's it... As for letting Tachibana Aya try it, just pretend it never happened.She doesn't know anyway.
