Chapter 192

While Natsuki and the store manager were getting ready, Mayumi Maeda opened the door and walked in.The first thing I did after entering the door was to look around blankly for two or three seconds, and then exclaimed "Wow".

Although as a member of the store's employees, Mayumi has already known that today is Xiaoyao's birthday, and in the plan, Mayumi will also contribute in the decoration process, such as some decorations, but now it seems Having been taken care of by the store manager, she could only sigh as she looked at the work that was supposed to be done by herself.

"Good afternoon." Xia Zhi raised his head and glanced at who the visitor was, then continued to lower his head and prepare the minced meat.Because we don’t know how many customers will come in the future, it will be embarrassing if we make too many dumplings and cannot finish them. Moreover, there is a person called Xia Zhizai here who is relatively skilled in making dumplings. It is better to make them now and cook them now. Good choice.

The store manager on the side is already very skilled at rolling out dumpling wrappers. If Xia Zhi prepares the meat filling a little, there will be no problem.It doesn't matter if there is a little more meat filling. At worst, it can be processed and fried as meat patties and eaten directly. After all, as far as Xia Zhi is concerned, meat is more precious than other common ingredients, so the processing method that Xia Zhi knows On the contrary, because its value is higher, there are more, which is actually unreasonable...

But if you think about it carefully, there are a lot of unreasonable things in this world, so this doesn't seem to be surprising.

"Oh, Mayumi-chan is here. Sorry, I finished what you were supposed to do." The store manager patted his forehead in embarrassment, leaving a white mark.Xia Zhi was also extremely embarrassed because of the store manager's words. If someone was willing to help him get things done, Xia Zhi would definitely want it.

"No, I'll feel more relaxed if I don't have to do it. To be honest, I felt a little pressed for time before, so I hurried over from school right after class today. There's no way that Tachibana-senpai can be faster than me this time, right? "The last sentence was said to Natsuki. She seemed to have some resentment about seeing Tachibana Aya every time she came here after school.

But she was still disappointed after all. The store manager laughed and pointed to where Tachibana Sai was. Mayumi looked there in confusion, and then her whole body stiffened.

"Why, why? I took a shortcut and ran here right after school..."

"Although I don't know how close the shortcut you mentioned is, Tachibana Aya was already squatting outside my school before school time, so you are still not as fast as her this time." Xia Zhi shrugged: " You can try again next time.”

Then, Xia Zhi discovered something strange.Natsuki came to the coffee shop this time. In fact, he and Tachibana Aya were delayed for a while while choosing birthday gifts in the bookstore, and then they came to the coffee shop again, so Natsuki came here later than usual today. Some.

But even so, Mayumi took a shortcut from Yukako and came a lot later than Natsuki and Tachibana Aya. Because she didn't pay much attention to it, she didn't know whether the shortcut Mayumi mentioned was a long way or a real shortcut, but She said she came here on the run today, so she probably came earlier than usual.

During this period of time, when Natsuki arrived at the coffee shop, Tachibana Aya was already waiting there, so Tachibana Aya was actually faster than Natsuchi.

Xia Zhi once studied how to travel faster between his home, school and coffee shop, which is now directly from school to coffee shop, but from his own apartment.If you go to the apartment, it will take about three to four minutes at night. Although it is not much, why bother to walk so much.And there is no need to go back to the apartment to change clothes or anything else, the work uniforms are all in the coffee shop, which is very convenient.

The current order of time from fastest to slowest should be Tachibana Aya, to Natsuki, and then to Mayumi.

But this is unreasonable. Mayumi and Tachibana Aya are from the same school. Logically speaking, they should arrive at the coffee shop at about the same time. Although Tachibana Aya slipped out of class early today and squatted with him outside Natsuki School, but usually She shouldn't be so much faster than Mayumi.

So Tachibana Aya actually has an arbitrary door, which can quickly travel between two places that are very far apart.

A son of a plane is still a son of a plane. It is a bit unreasonable to open and hang up in a place like this.But it's so normal for a child of a plane to cheat, so Xia Zhi probably wouldn't be too surprised if she suddenly ran as fast as The Flash.The so-called ability of the son of the plane is hidden in Japan, where people with super powers are everywhere. There is a feeling of being hidden in the city, which is wonderful.

Tachibana, who was holding a cup to keep warm, looked towards the three of them unconsciously, and when she saw Maeda Mayumi, she waved to her and said hello.Mayumi was very angry, and the corners of her mouth twitched, but her good upbringing forced her to wave to Tachibana as well, and then went to the staff room to change clothes.

"Oh, right." Mayumi had just taken two steps when she suddenly remembered something. She opened her schoolbag and touched it inside, and took out a beautifully packaged small box: "This is a birthday gift for Xiaoyao. Let's start with it." Put it under the counter. It’s not big anyway, so you can take it out when the time comes.”

The store manager stretched out his hand to take the small gift box and said with a smile: "Obviously it doesn't cost so much. I think Xiaoyao is very happy that you can come." For some reason, Xia Zhi saw something very familiar in the store manager. This figure is not someone he knows here, but a behavior he is very familiar with. He has seen it many times...

This reminded Xia Zhi of when he was a child during festivals. When others came to visit, they brought gifts. His parents said, "No, no, no, you can take them back." Then they kept the gifts that others brought. Come down.Although he would definitely bring similar gifts to the other party's house in the future to engage in a similar drama, this kind of disguised behavior of being consumed once made Xia Zhi puzzled and didn't know what it meant. .

Now, Xia Zhi still doesn't know its meaning, but he already understands that it is a very common social behavior, so he probably won't have any prejudice against it.However, Xia Zhi really didn't expect that he would see such a familiar gift-giving pattern on the other side of the sea, and Xia Zhi was still a little surprised.

Of course, there is nothing else to be surprised about.

Mayumi was stunned for a moment because of the inconsistent behavior of the store manager, then rolled her eyes and walked towards the employee room.

Natsuki and the store manager still had preparation work to do, but Mayumi didn't know what to do. The decoration work she was supposed to do had already been done by the store manager, and the other cleaning work was supposed to be done by Natsuki, but After he came, he didn't want to be a salty fish, so he rushed to do it with Xia Zhi. If Xia Zhi hadn't finished it when he came, then he would take over the remaining cleaning work.

But I arrived so late, and Xia Zhi and the store manager were doing other things, so the cleaning work was naturally done.Feeling like she had nothing to do, Mayumi went to play with Tachibana Aya.If there was anything else to do, Mayumi would not be lazy to play or anything, but now that there is nothing to do by herself, Mayumi would not just look for things to add to herself, because not only would it not be worthwhile, but it would also The more she tried, the more mistakes she would make, and she didn't want that to happen.

The finishing touch and the superfluous are two different concepts.

It’s almost time to open the shop. The people who come to the coffee shop are basically regular customers, or new customers who come with regular customers, and most of them come at a fixed time. They are all those who come home from school on weekdays or go home from work. Come and sit down on the way and have a cup of coffee or something.

And now it's almost time for the first regular customer to arrive.

As the door was pushed open, a man who looked like an uncle appeared in front of the coffee shop.This is Uncle Nakamura, a regular customer that Xia Zhi is already very familiar with.

"Hey...what happened today?" Uncle Nakamura asked the store manager, surprised by the decoration in the store.

"Today is my daughter's birthday. Are you ready for your birthday gift?"

Uncle Nakamura was stunned for a moment, then glared at the store manager: "You didn't tell me such an important thing earlier! I don't have anything with me except money for two cups of coffee."

"It's okay, it's okay. You can run home now to get the money and bring a birthday gift. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon anyway."

The store manager's suggestion only drew another glare from Uncle Nakamura, who then became worried.I used to see that lively and cute little girl when I came to drink coffee. Daiki Nakamura liked her very much, but today was her birthday and he didn’t bring any birthday gifts. Would Xiaoyao be unhappy? ?

So all this is caused by the bastard store manager!
Natsuki looked at Daiki Nakamura, who was staring at the store manager without turning his head, looking like he was eager to punch him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked the store manager: "I remember there seemed to be colored paper in the staff room? It's just the stack that Xiaoyao forgot to take back when he came to play a few times."

"Yes, Xiaoyao almost forgot about it. I thought I might need it someday so I kept it. Anyway, as for colored paper, there are still a lot of useless ones at home."

"That's just right," Xia Zhi turned to look at Nakamura Daiki: "Nakamura Daiki, can you make origami cranes?"

"Yes, oh... I see." Nakamura Daiki quickly understood what Xia Zhi wanted to express: "Asshole Murakami, quickly bring the colored paper."

"How can I walk now?" The store manager raised his white hand.

"Mayumi!" Natsuki called out to Mayumi who was chatting happily with Aya Tachibana.

"what happened?"

"Help me take out the colored paper in the staff room. And the paper knife."

"Oh." Mayumi withdrew from the conversation, and Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki dissatisfied, as if he had disturbed the conversation between the two people who were having a great time.And Xia Zhi has long since ceased to fluctuate over such trivial matters.

Later, Uncle Nakamura folded origami cranes, and Tachibana Aya and Mayumi, who felt they had nothing to do, also joined the origami team.

 A little late_(:з ∠)_
