Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 281

Potatoes are a good thing. They are delicious even if they are fried directly until golden brown without being wrapped in bread. Moreover, their taste is not very strong and can rarely cover up the taste of other ingredients. When used with other ingredients to make dishes, it is basically Don’t worry about the flavor becoming obvious, although it’s disrespectful to potatoes, it’s a natural supporting role.

It was slightly similar to his ideal life, and Xia Zhi became envious of potatoes.

Xia Zhi took two dinner plates and put them on the counter, placing four on each side. On the fifth plate, Xia Zhi realized that he seemed to have done something stupid - why did he do it when there were only two people eating dinner? What about odd quantities?Xia Zhi was a little worried, but he soon stopped worrying. He thought of someone who just walked into the store while eating a bag of snacks.

Don't eat snacks before meals. I don't know how many parents have said it to their children, and I don't know how many children don't take it seriously.As a kind of food, snacks are indeed eaten into the mouth to fulfill their mission, and their existence also means that they do have their own quality. Although the tolerance of human stomachs is different, When I was a kid, the difference wasn't that big.You could eat two bowls of rice, but you ate an apple before eating, and you could only eat one and a half bowls. Similarly, snacks have the same effect.

Secondly, snacks have a relatively large impact on people’s normal eating habits.For example, sweet candies, lollipops, etc. The strong sweetness will greatly reduce people's appetite and make children who should eat well not want to eat. This is one reason.Another example is snacks such as potato chips with different styles. Such fried and puffed snacks are different from candies. They are more direct and directly make people feel full, making them unable to eat even if they want to. .

But its original quality has not changed. People who eat snacks will eat less. It may not be much, but it is not nothing, and the nutritional value of snacks... The nutritional value of this thing probably parted ways the moment it was created. , so the situation became that the nutritious food that should be eaten could not be eaten, and snacks that were not nutritious and not easy to digest were left in the stomach.

Tachibana Aya, who is full of hedonistic elements in choosing between delicious food and nutrition, has made her own choice.

Although Tachibana Aya defended herself by saying that she didn't eat much, after Natsuki glanced at the empty bag that was thrown into the trash can, not even the potato chip dregs could be seen, Natsuki didn't want to even think of a punctuation mark in what she said. believe.

Ignoring Tachibana's cute look, Natsuki put the single potato pancake on his plate.In order to prevent Tachibana Aya from reaching out to grab it, Natsuki moved his plate farther away, "You must be a devil!", he was complained like this.

As if she was angry, Tachibana Aya directly forked a potato pancake with a fork and ate it with big mouthfuls. While eating, she muttered words like a curse, but Xia Zhi did not feel that her simple spell was effective. The possibility, contrary to Tachibana Aya, slowly tasted the food made by herself.

Although there is a saying that the food made by oneself is particularly delicious after working hard, Xia Zhi just wants to say that his craftsmanship is ordinary.In terms of enjoyment, objective materialism is indeed stronger.

Although it was very ordinary, it was considered a passing grade, and Xia Zhi had no dissatisfaction with it.The only thing that should be considered is how to do better next time.Xia Zhi stretched his chopsticks towards the second potato pancake, and there was a strong gaze from the side that Xia Zhi could not ignore. Xia Zhi couldn't help turning his head and glanced at it. Tachibana Aya was staring at her plate.

She had already finished her own portion, quite quickly.Xia Zhi moved his chopsticks, and kept lifting the potato cake up with Tachibana Aya's eyes. Xia Zhi always felt that he couldn't eat it.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I'm just watching you eat." He also wiped away the non-existent saliva.

Acting, it’s all acting.Xia Zhi said to himself in his heart, and then moved his mouth again... but still didn't bite down, and couldn't take the mouth off.Tachibana Aya's eyes are very complicated, but what she wants to express is very clear. It perfectly interprets the eyes of a poor girl who "others have delicious food that she doesn't have, but she is super envious but can't eat it."If it had been anyone else, Natsuki might have believed it, but this was Tachibana Aya...

"Don't look at me like this, I won't even look at you."

"Let me see, the appearance of food is also a part of food."

"...Do you want to eat it that much?"

Tachibana Aya nodded unabashedly.

If he doesn't give her some of it, he probably won't be able to have a good meal.Just give it to her...

So Xia Zhi used chopsticks to tear off half of it and put it on the Tachibana color plate.Originally, this was what Xia Zhi had expected, so he didn't have any special thoughts, but he just gave up on himself because of his unsteady heart.When Xia Zhi finished eating half of the potato pancake, there was still one left on the plate. Xia Zhi was about to finish eating quickly so he could wash the plate. However, he felt an extremely familiar gaze, as if he had just seen it. Xia Zhi Zhi raised his head and took a look. It was okay. Tachibana Aya looked over again.

"...We're already half alone, what else do you want?"

"I just want to watch you eat. Look, the moment you bite into such delicious food, probably all the humans in the world will smile happily."

Because what Tachibana Aya said was so disgusting, the corners of Xia Zhi's eyes twitched again.Who can withstand this?
This is really just to be able to eat well, not to feel happy about being praised at all.Moreover, this time is the last time. No matter what happens to Tachibana Aya in the future, she will never change her mind again.While performing self-hypnosis, Natsuki divided the only potato pancake into two sides and placed it on Tachibana's plate.

"This is the last time." Xia Zhi directly stated his determination.

This dinner was originally supposed to be a bigger portion for me, but then it became the same for both of them, and then it turned into a state where the other person had a bigger portion.To be honest, Xia Zhi saw his daily life being gradually invaded during this dinner, and almost shed tears of disappointment.

"Wow, you're so nice." Although it was just a word because of dinner, Xia Zhi didn't care. Whether it was praising himself or the food he cooked, Xia Zhi would probably feel equally happy.

"I'm full! Thank you for the hospitality." Tachibana Aya clasped her hands together and ended the dinner.Although Tachibana Aya ate very quickly, Xia Zhi found that as long as Tachibana Aya finished it first, he would definitely suffer some losses, so he also speeded up a bit, otherwise Tachibana Aya would be so crazy that he couldn't even eat half of it. If she wanted to grab it, Xia Zhi would probably give her half of this half over and over again.

That was too scary.

Xia Zhi put away the tableware: "If you're done eating, just go for a walk outside and digest it."

"Eh...it's so troublesome. I don't want to move."

"Go, do you want to get fat?"

Tachibana Aya suddenly stood up and walked outside.Sure enough, this sentence is more effective for girls.

There were not many customers today, and all the regular customers who came here had gone back before dinner time. There were only two people left in the store, Natsuki and Tachibana Aya, and the number of dishes to be washed was very small, which was a big help. .Tachibana Aya was also arranged to go for a walk, and now it was a rare time for peace.

Washing the dishes to his heart's content without being disturbed, Xia Zhi's current mood can only be summed up in one word: "pleasant".But there were not many plates, and the previous guests had only left a dozen or so, and the same was true for the cups.It was supposed to be washed directly and put in the disinfection cabinet when recycling, but most of the guests left when Xia Zhi started cooking dinner, and Xia Zhi couldn't spare any time, so he had to put it away for now.

It is not difficult to wash more than a dozen plates and cups. Once you are familiar with it, you can wash it twice in about ten minutes, which can meet Japanese hygiene standards.After putting all the washed dishes and quilts into the disinfection cabinet, I was now the only one left in the entire coffee shop - I felt like I had nothing to do.Want to clean?Maybe there will be guests coming later, so forget it.

Waiting for time to pass slowly while in a daze?That's a good idea.So Xia Zhi walked out of the counter and was about to sit on another side and take a rest when he remembered the sound of wind chimes.

"Welcome light...it turns out to be you."

"I really hope you can keep your dedicated smile until the end, otherwise many people will cry because of it, such as me."

Tachibana Aya walked in from outside the coffee shop with Xiao Xi in her arms. The temperature outside may not be too high, but it seems to be warmer in the store. Xiao Yu, who was curled up in Tachibana Aya's arms, put her front paws on Tachibana Aya's body and raised her head. After looking around, after seeing Xia Zhi, he meowed, then jumped out of Tachibana Aya's arms, ran to Xia Zhi's feet and lay on his trouser legs, probably asking for a hug.

"Wow, you little villain... It's been almost half a year, why is it still like this."

"This is what is called charisma."

Xia Zhi bent down and hugged Xiao Xi. She twisted around and adjusted herself to a position that should be more comfortable. Then she hugged Xiao Xi and wanted to continue sleeping.It was probably because Tachibana Aya forcibly carried her out while she was resting. Although Tachibana Aya was also at fault, considering the living habits of cats, it felt a bit strange to go to bed so early.Sure enough, the owner's abnormalities will also affect his pets.

"Why did you bring Xiao Xi here? It looks like it hasn't woken up. What have you guys done?"

"Didn't you ask me to go for a walk? After I left the store, I suddenly realized that I didn't know where to go, so I simply walked home. When I got downstairs, I thought about what would happen if I didn't go upstairs. It seemed a bit wasteful, so I drank a glass of water at home. Then I saw Xiao Xi still sleeping. This child's life has been too degenerate recently. He plays after eating every day and sleeps after playing. He is almost different from me. It was almost like an abandoned house. Then I thought, it would be bad if it gained weight, so I took it out for a walk." Tachibana Aya's explanation made Xia Zhi's eyes full of contempt.

"Take it out for a walk if you have nothing to do. Don't come here all day long. What if it turns into a fat house cat?"

"I can still afford it for the time being, fat house cat." Li Huacai thought about it seriously.

"This is not a question of whether you can afford to raise her. Since you raised Xiao Xi, you should be responsible for it."

"Hey...but do you have to go home first every time you come here? It's so troublesome."

……

So coming to the coffee shop is actually a regular thing?I don’t understand why she is so persistent in coming here.

Xia Zhi sat on the chair in front of the counter. He originally wanted to give the cat back to Tachibana Aya, but he thought it would be good to play with the cat now. It was idle anyway, so he didn't hand Xiao Xi back.Tachibana Aya sat next to her where she had been sitting and watched Natsuki playing with the cat.

"It's so quiet..." It was Tachibana Aya who spoke.

"Wouldn't it be better to be quiet? There is a Chinese word called 'indifferent tranquility', which is a very profound artistic conception."

"But it's boring. Or have you reached the point where you have no desires or desires?"

"That's what it's like when you're around a boring person like me..."

"Hahahahaha." Tachibana Aya suddenly laughed, a fake smile.

"What are you doing?" Xia Zhi glanced at her.

"Is this something called 'joy in misery'? Because I'm bored right now."

"If you're bored, don't come here all day. It would be fun to hang out with Mayumi or your classmates. Besides, you are about to graduate. If you don't strengthen your relationship, you will have no friends after graduation. of."

"I told you right? I like interesting things and hate boredom." Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki.

Xia Zhi knew this posture. It was the posture he often used when he wanted to make a point. Unexpectedly, Tachibana Aya secretly learned it.hateful.

Xia Zhi also looked at her, wanting to see how she would act.

"I hate boredom very much, so I run marathons, study, write novels, and do many, many things. But the purpose at the beginning is actually the same, just not to be bored."

"It's a little different now." Although Tachibana Aya was smiling, her deep breaths were not concealed. Xia Zhi, who had been looking at her, also saw that her heart was not as calm as her appearance.

"I feel that even boring time is not so unbearable..."

"If it's by your side."

Tachibana Aya took action, using a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which blinded Xia Zhi who was watching the show.
