Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 247

Before I knew it, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time to prepare dinner.

Xia Zhi walked into the kitchen consciously and opened the refrigerator. Although there wasn't much, there were enough ingredients in it for her own use. It was probably no problem to make a dinner.Today is the best time for parents to test their ability to survive!If successful, they, especially their mothers, would probably not have to contact them once and say that they want to send them some money to buy delicious food - the food they cook is much more delicious.

Xia Zhi inspired his own interest and confidence, holding the spatula in his hand like a knight preparing to rush to the battlefield.However, before that, Xia Zhi came to his sister's side again.Although I don't know much, if I don't ask my sister for her opinion, even if I know how to cook a Man-Han banquet, I will still be sentenced to death.

"Xiaomeng, what do you want to eat?" Xia Zhi asked.If she had just read the line of reporting the name of the dish, Xia Zhi felt that it would not be too late to shovel herself to death in advance.

Fortunately, my sister didn't have such a bad taste. She raised her head slightly and thought for a moment: "I don't want eggs, but you can do anything else."

It's a still and very troublesome answer.I originally wanted to show off my omelette skills that I learned in Japan, but it seems I have to give up on this.But in this way, what can be done becomes very limited, so you have to make do with what you have.

Xia Zhi took the spatula back to the kitchen to continue his work. In this familiar yet unfamiliar space, Xia Zhi concentrated on doing his own work.Foods with a simple process but decent taste appeared on the table one after another. They were all the foods that Xia Zhi often cooked and ate when he was in Japan.

Although he can only do these things.But Xia Zhi is still very skilled in using strengths and avoiding weaknesses, such as using the shock of a grand opening to cover up the fact that he lacks stamina.Originally, food was only needed to meet people's physiological needs. Whether it tastes good or not is the added value that craftsmen make the food produce.The so-called food, as long as it is edible, not too difficult to swallow, and does not kill people, then there is no problem!
The chef's soul burning in Xia Zhi's heart was extinguishing.Anyway, if it doesn't work out by then, just ask your friend named Shiraishi who is currently on the other side of the sea to celebrate the New Year.It is indeed true that many friends lead to many paths.

In the safest possible situation, try to use your tricks and moves as much as possible. This is the safest way to achieve success.

Xia Zhi, who was busy in the kitchen, did not notice that the door in front of the entrance was rotating outward. A middle-aged woman wearing a red down jacket walked in from the world outside the door, carrying bags and plastic bags in her hands. There must be food in it. He lowered his head in confusion and looked at the sudden appearance of a pair of shoes at the door that he had no impression of.

Was your home robbed?This was the first feeling that came to her heart. It took her a while to realize something. She took out her phone and took a look. Well, today is already December 25th. It took her daughter several seconds to calculate it with her brain. It's time for the idiot son to come back.

That's okay, my baby girl is safe.Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to the same relaxed expression as before. After taking off her shoes, she walked in. As expected, she saw her precious daughter reading a book on the sofa as usual. By the way, there was also a different face from normal. Lighted kitchen.

The fact that he had returned home seemed to disturb his daughter. He gave her a smile and said that she didn't need to worry about him. Then he put his bag on one end of the sofa and walked to the glass door of the kitchen. He folded his hands and looked at the busy people inside. Someone who is living with you.

Watching his skillful movements in the kitchen, he smiled unconsciously.Suddenly, there was a wonderful feeling that the child had grown up, until the other party noticed the change in the space outside the kitchen and turned his head, and he was so startled that he almost didn't hold the pot in his hand. When she came to greet her arrival with a lively posture, she realized with a dark face that the feeling just now was really just an illusion.

Xia Zhi put the last dish he was preparing on the table, turned off the gas and the noisy range hood, then walked over with a flattering expression, and opened the kitchen door: "Dear Ms. Xu ,you are back?"

"Why, don't you want me to come back?"

"No way! How could such a thing happen! You must be overthinking it. Come on, you can go to the living room to rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon." The show of being as respectful as possible made my mother He couldn't help but smile, and was pushed back to the living room by Xia Zhi while smiling.

Originally, she had the idea of ​​taking over the dinner work halfway, but seeing that Xia Zhi was almost done, she had no intention of joining in anymore.Firstly, it is not necessary. Secondly, since Xia Zhi wants to show his abilities, of course, as a reasonable mother, she will not stop him.

But Mr. Xia, who is the only bastard in the family and No. 3 in the family rankings, does not have such understanding.A few minutes after his mother came home, he opened the door and walked in. Looking at the extra pair of shoes on the ground, he said without hesitation: "Honey, are there any guests?"

Xia Zhi almost spit out a mouthful of blood in the kitchen.Co-author: This old man didn’t even remember that today was the day he came back.But Xia Zhi is not a person who holds grudges. Although he doesn't remember what day it is, Xia Zhi will not refuse to give him the gift he brought back from Japan.Well, absolutely not, Xia Zhi swears by the reputation of being able to say that he is not afraid of the cold.

There was no need for his mother to answer. Xia Zhi answered his father's doubts by himself: "Dad, it's me who's back."

Mr. Xia Zhi seemed to be startled when he heard the sound. He didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then the cheerful laughter came from the entrance and the kitchen got closer and closer. Then Xia Zhi saw his not-so-reliable father. He was leaning against the door with his hands folded: "Of course I knew it was you who came, I was just joking with you. After all, you have been away from home for so long."

Xia Zhi rolled his eyes, these words may be useful to coax children, but Xia Zhi is already a mature child, and has learned how to recognize crude lies.

"Why are you in the kitchen? Didn't you just come back? Where is your mother?" Although Mr. Xia Tian's tone was quite dissatisfied with the local emperor at home, he would definitely have a different look if he went to meet the saint. , Xia Zhi is used to it.

"It's in the living room. Go change your clothes and get ready to eat."

Xia Zhi waved his hand and continued to wash the pot.If you don't wash it first during this period, the oil stains will condense when you wash it later, making it more difficult to wash.This is a life skill that Xia Zhi learned when he was living alone, but you can also pour some hot water and detergent directly into it when you are done using it, and it will be much easier to wash it after eating.

"Oh, you are worthy of having returned from studying abroad. Your movements are so cool." Faced with his father's false compliments, Xia Zhi could only smile in return.

After washing the pot and putting all the food, dishes and chopsticks on the table, Xia Zhi called the three elders of the family to come over for dinner.

The dining table is rectangular, with the father sitting on the nominal "head of the family" seat, and the sister sitting next to her mother opposite Xia Zhi.It's a familiar scene again, except that when I'm away, my sister will probably take the place where I sit now. After all, the dining table also needs to be cleaned. If there are fewer parts in use, there will be less places to clean up.

Xia Zhi is waiting for the trial with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand. His father observes the whole table of food with great interest. His mother has already started to combine her own experience, using Xia Zhi's food as the material and the cooking of friends as the goal. In contrast, only the younger sister was like a clear stream, ignoring the three people who were talking and dazed, and started eating by herself.

Although it is quite different from the praise I imagined, I still admit that my ability to live independently has grown, and the most basic goal has been achieved.As for the second purpose of showing off...just let it go with the wind.

"Although it seems a little inappropriate to ask this, but..." Dad swallowed the meal he was chewing: "Have you bought the ticket and air ticket to go back?"

Xia Zhi almost crushed the bowl.

But Dad did not lie. This question was indeed inappropriate.

Xia Zhi sighed: "I've already bought it. Let's go back in ten days."

"It feels like an unnecessary long vacation..."

"But others are going to celebrate the New Year, and there's nothing you can do if the date is different."

Yeah, perfectly sidetracked.Xia Zhi became heartbroken again and perfectly avoided the Chinese and Japanese New Year. This may be an unavoidable problem for all Chinese high school students who go there.Although you can take leave and go back a few days later, your parents are not people who like to do this, and I probably don't like it very much either.

"No problem." Dad showed a kind smile: "Just finish all the work that you were supposed to do during the Spring Festival in these ten days."

"Are you a devil?" Xia Zhi complained.

"If it doesn't work, you can come back and continue high school, right?"

This is indeed true.Originally, the root cause of the conflict was that China and Japan did not celebrate the New Year at the same time. In other words, the most essential part was that Xia Zhi’s behavior of studying abroad brought such results. If you want to eliminate such a problem, the best way is It's not about changing China or Japan. That's unrealistic.The only feasible way is probably for Xia Zhi to return to China from Japan and end his study abroad life, which has lasted for nearly a year.

However, that doesn't mean that...

"Is everything I have done this year meaningless?"

Xia Zhi said to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
