Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 186

After saying hello, Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something.

Tomorrow is Xiaoyao's birthday. Should you invite Shiraishi Lihua and Yamamoto Ryoko to go together?I usually take good care of myself...

But after thinking about it, Xia Zhi still shook his head.

Rika Shiraishi and Ryoko Yamamoto were just friendly strangers to the store manager's family, so it felt a bit inappropriate for Natsuki to specially invite them there.If it's your birthday, it's okay to invite people you know to come with you. Even if the people who come are strangers to each other, they will always give you a face and the scene will not be embarrassing.But it's not his Xia Zhi's birthday, so it's obviously inappropriate to do so.

Inviting people on your own initiative can sometimes backfire.

And...Tachibana Aya had already decided to go. Although there was no unpleasantness between the three of them, Xia Zhi subconsciously didn't want them to come together.What is this? It seems like there is some shady relationship.

Xia Zhi's mind was agitated, but he still didn't tell the matter.

The less trouble, the better.If there is no chance this time, there will be a next time.

As usual, had a peaceful day.Xia Zhi hurriedly left the classroom, patted his head, and suddenly remembered that he didn't say hello to Shiraishi Lihua and the others.Forget it, they should understand how big of a deal it is, just say hello next time.

The thoughts in his heart did not affect Xia Zhi's progress at all. After all, he was a man whose body preceded his thoughts.

Don't be afraid, because I'm coming!

When Xia Zhi rushed to the coffee shop, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In front of the coffee shop, Tachibana Aya was holding the cat and waving to him.

"Xia Zhi! Come open the door quickly! It's freezing!"

As he spoke, he petted the cat in his arms.How on earth did she accomplish such a difficult move with one hand?So Tachibana's real body is actually a parasitic beast, right?

"You can stop the meeting."

"The store manager said he won't be here today. He and Sister Sayuri are going to pick out birthday gifts. The spare key will be brought over tomorrow."

"Does it take that long to match the key? And I only bought the birthday gift the day before Xiaoyao's birthday. Is it really okay?" Xia Zhi expressed deep doubts.

"The keys have been matched a long time ago, he just forgot about it. As for the birthday gift, although he said that it would be fine as long as it is not his birthday, but if my guess is correct, the store manager was being beaten when he answered the phone."

Xia Zhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It was probably because when Tachibana Aya called the store manager, the store manager forgot to buy a gift and was so stubborn that he got beaten by Sayuri-san.Anyone who is a little familiar with the store manager will probably come to this conclusion, but there is no way, he is indeed such a person.

Xia Zhi even suspected that he might expose all the birthday gifts before Xiaoyao's birthday.After all, he is a hopeless daughter-in-law, although not to the level of perversion.Obviously, he is also worried that if he becomes a pervert daughter accuser, he may be taken away by the police, which will make it difficult to see his daughter again.

It's really simple and easy to understand.

However, if Xiaoyao gets married, the store manager will probably chop the groom into meat paste with a kitchen knife...

Xia Zhi touched his chin.He has been quite fond of this action recently, it seems that he has a little more depth.

"Stop pretending to be serious, open the door quickly, I want to go in." Tachibana Aya said dissatisfied Natsuki.

Even Xiao Xi in her arms meowed.

Xia Zhi looked back at Xiao Xi helplessly.It was obviously quite clingy to me when I first picked it up, and when it was taken away by Tachibana Aya, it was still trying to come to me. Why is it that now it seems like it has been brainwashed and is helping Tachibana Aya to speak?He probably felt comfortable being taken care of by Tachibana Aya. It seemed that he was not suitable for keeping pets.

Natsuki opened the door and walked in first, followed by Tachibana Aya and walked into the coffee shop.Although it's not very warm in the coffee shop, it's still much better than blowing air outside the shop.

Tachibana Aya, who was not self-conscious at all, walked straight to the position in front of the counter and sat on the side.Putting Xiaoxi on his lap, he looked at the environment in the store as if he was tired of it. After he found that nothing had changed, he started to make noise again.

"Xia Zhi, I want a cup of hot coffee, and Xiaoxi wants hot milk."

"The store hasn't opened yet."

Xia Zhi responded while walking into the employee room to change clothes.

"It's okay, just don't pay me."

"It's a beautiful idea."

Tachibana Aya smiled as she watched Natsuki boil some water while she said something wrong.

"What a hypocritical man."

"No more?"

"Yes!" Tachibana Aya handed over five hundred yen. Natsuki took it and found a few coins for her.It was quite annoying at first, but if I could exchange a cup of coffee or something for her to calm down, it wouldn't actually be a loss.What's more, she still paid well, so it was considered a no-cost transaction.There is only one change that needs to be made, and that is to postpone the cleaning work a little bit.

After pouring the milk warmed with hot water into the plate, Xia Zhi placed the plate on the floor.Xiaoxi jumped off Tachibana Aya's lap and drank milk quietly next to the plate.

After all, having pets on the table is too strong.It's a restaurant after all.

After doing this, Xia Zhi started daily cleaning.Thanks to the usual cleaning, and thanks to the fact that this is just a coffee shop, cleaning is very easy. At most, there will only be some garbage such as biscuits and cake crumbs. If it were other types of restaurants, there would be nothing left on the tables on the floor. Oil stains are a big headache.

Xia Zhi was cleaning the house, Tachibana Aya was drinking coffee and scrolling through her mobile phone, and Xiao Xi was licking the milk.For a moment, the entire coffee shop seemed relatively quiet.This kind of tranquility actually won Xia Zhi's heart, but he also knew that it wouldn't last long.Because there is another player here who doesn't like this environment at all.

"Xia Zhi."

"what."

"It's okay, I just called you."

"I!"

Xia Zhi almost wanted to throw the bucket at her face, but she silently recited it several times to calm down.

"If you have nothing to do, just stay here and don't disturb my work."

"But, it's boring. Little Mayumi isn't here either."

"Where's your mobile game?"

"I have no physical strength anymore. If I want to replenish my physical strength, I have to spend money, but why should I spend money on such boring things... Spending money to buy pain, that's too stupid."

Xia Zhi was speechless. It would be better to say that the shot had hit him in the face.

"Where's your work? Have you finished writing the novel?"

Natsuki suddenly remembered Tachibana Aya's other identity.Who knows since when, she who was still working on manuscripts in a coffee shop has turned into this situation where she is not working at all.At least Xia Zhi hadn't seen her working for several weeks.

"I usually write at home, it's so cold outside."

"Then why don't you go write the manuscript and come here to disturb my work?"

"Light novel writers are human beings too, and they also need to eat."

"The purpose of your coming here is really exposed without any disguise..."

Xia Zhi, who had already known this for a long time, had no special feelings.Anyway, the portion of the employee meal that originally belonged to Maeda Mayumi has been taken by Tachibana Aya by default. There is no way to cash out the employee meal anyway. Mayumi graciously let Tachibana Aya eat the dinner that should have been hers.Tachibana Aya was so happy that she kissed her little face, and Mayumi almost fainted.

Perhaps to her, this transaction was not considered a loss.

Even a little bit profitable.

"If you really have nothing to do, just find a place to lie down and sleep." Xia Zhi pointed to the staff room, the meaning was obvious - don't interfere with my work.

"(Chinese) Why sleep for so long while you are alive? You will sleep forever after you die."

Xia Zhi almost laughed out of anger at her.

"You work all day long, don't you have anything serious to do?"

I don’t care about writing novels, and I don’t have to study hard. I basically earn money by playing games.It would be better if she had a career like working in an office, but Xia Zhi always felt that she would never choose such a career.What's more, this is the current student era where you can completely let yourself go?

Xia Zhi felt that she should be thankful that she didn't go to heaven.

"Of course!" Tachibana Aya retorted without hesitation, and then thought for a moment: "Get materials?"

"You call this not doing your job properly."

Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, can this man be saved?

"Why don't you do your job properly? (Chinese) As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first make it good...it..."

Natsuki felt like his head was going to explode listening to Tachibana Aya's poor Mandarin.

"You must first sharpen your tools. They are tools. How on earth do you know so many common sayings? As the saying goes, they have all come out."

"Ha. (Chinese) The mountain man has his own clever plan."

"You can just have instant noodles for dinner."

"Sorry I was wrong."

Tachibanapi lowered his high head.

The spread of his country's culture should have been a joyful thing, but now Xia Zhi only has endless headaches.It's like you took the Holy Plan but inserted the wrong chip and evolved into DarkGreymon. What went wrong?Xia Zhi was puzzled.

The internet is really scary.

But often the more interesting something is, the easier it is to enter the field of vision of others. After all, the things that people pay attention to are things related to themselves or things that can arouse their interest.

It's like, there are two people, one is in good health and the other is suffering from AIDS and is dying soon.When they know that someone has developed a drug that can truly treat AIDS, for the former, this is just another advancement in the medical field, which is quite far away from them.The latter will be surrounded by the joy of survival.

There are many things that you cannot appreciate without experiencing them yourself.

Just like Tachibana Aya, if she was asked to learn Chinese systematically and formally, she might not be willing.Because Chinese itself is actually quite boring and not interesting at all.But when you ask her to use some interesting sentences, she will be happy, because it can produce superficial fun, and this fun will prompt her to continue to understand the Chinese language, even if she can only understand the details, but for For most netizens, these details are enough.

Think about it carefully, if you have not studied Japanese systematically, you can only know "I like you", "Goodbye", "Good morning", "I'm back", "JOJO, I am no longer a human being", "You will remember the bread you have eaten" Quantity?” “I have a dream” and other everyday expressions.But the fun has been obtained, and not many people are willing to continue to delve deeper, right?
Everyone is the same.

　Yes, it's me, I'm back!
