Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 285

At noon, as soon as the morning class was over, Yamamoto Ryoko and Shiraishi Reika jumped over and had dinner together as usual.The female classmate in front of her also left and went to the back of the classroom as usual, smiling mysteriously, which made Xia Zhi become uneasy.

This meal doesn't seem to be that delicious.

"Come on! Let me see what you two have brought." Ryoko Yamamoto glanced over, and Xia Zhi opened his lunch box. There were six potato pancakes neatly inside, although they were all cold. , but in terms of appearance, it’s still pretty good.After all, it has been fried to golden brown, which is the color that represents appetite.

"It looks delicious..." Ryoko Yamamoto said while biting her chopsticks, with a look of longing in her eyes.Xia Zhi has no ill feelings towards a person who doesn't hide his pure desires.

"Eat it if you want, but it's already cold so don't expect too much from the taste."

Temperature is the soul of food. Although there are low-temperature-limited foods like cold drinks, staple food still requires a certain temperature.Especially fried food, the taste will be greatly reduced if it is not heated.

"I won't mind. What about Lihua? Did you bring any extravagant food today?"

"Exaggerated or something...it doesn't sound like a nice thing to say." Shiraishi Rika showed a troubled expression and opened the lunch box.Just like what Ryoko Yamamoto said, today is another lunch box of incredibly gorgeous food.Shiraishi Rika is so lucky to have a family that allows her cooking skills to flourish.

Although if I don't work hard, even if I am extremely rich, it will be of no use.

Shiraishi Rika pointed at the food in the lunch box one by one with chopsticks, and introduced these dishes that Xia Zhi had no idea what they were called in Japanese that Xia Zhi felt she was already quite familiar with. It was Shiraishi Rika who gave the explanation, but as Xia Zhi, a foreign visitor, is now in an extremely deflated state.

Just like "Chiba", a word that Chinese people can understand instantly, if you say it to a foreigner who is not very familiar with Chinese, even if he can understand it and even speak it in a standard way, he just can't. Know the meaning of the word.This is such a wonderful state now.

But learning things like proper nouns is really thankless, and for Xia Zhi himself, there is no great need to learn them.That's it, it won't affect your appetite anyway.

Today I was honored to eat the food cooked by the quasi-five-star chef Rika Shiraishi. As expected, Rika Shiraishi is a superhuman being in terms of conditions, talent, and even hard work. Except for Admired, Xia Zhi has no other ideas.

It was another day of making a lot of money. He exchanged food with a total value of less than [-] yen for delicious food worth dozens or even hundreds of times. Xia Zhi felt that he was going to be trapped in free prostitution and couldn't extricate himself.

"Speaking of which, Xia Zhi, how much have you learned after working for so long?"

"Ah? Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"There's no end to learning. As your good friend, isn't it normal for me to have a relationship with you?"

Xia Zhi didn't believe a word of what Ryoko Yamamoto said.She is not the person who can say such words at all, or she does not have such thoughts at all. At most, she just stays on her lips.

"It's just so-so. If you have the tools, you can probably make the drinks in ordinary coffee shops."

After all, except for the more special types, the production process and procedures of most drinks are not different.Taking coffee as an example, at best, the amount of coffee beans or coffee powder changes due to different types, or the temperature of hot water needs to be adjusted, but the overall process will not change much.

As for juice, it's even simpler. With a juicer, even a fool can make it by himself, and only the difference between the handling fee and the price of the raw materials is made.

"Really." Ryoko Yamamoto nodded: "Then there's no need to worry."

"What do you want to do again?"

"Me? Didn't do anything? How could I do anything? You are too suspicious, hahaha."

It seems she won't say it either.Xia Zhi came to this conclusion.

Since we don't know what she wants to do, we can only use troops to stop her. Anyway, there shouldn't be anything too outrageous.At least in this aspect, Yamamoto Ryoko's behavior is commendable.

"Lihua, what's wrong with you? You feel a little absent-minded."

Before Natsuki came back to his senses, Ryoko Yamamoto was dangling one hand in front of Shiraishi Rika, and then she was pushed away: "What are you doing?"

"It's okay, I just feel like you're a little absent-minded."

"Have it?"

Xia Zhi also looked at Shiraishi Lihua, but unfortunately, Xia Zhi didn't see anything.Shiraishi Reika is still the same as Shiraishi Reika before. There is no difference. She has a faint smile on her face and looks approachable.

"Of course. It's obvious."

At first, she thought it was a joke from Ryoko Yamamoto, but what Natsuki saw was her serious expression.Although this person was usually unreliable with his playful smile, now he gave Xia Zhi an indescribable sense of reality.

His understanding of the two of them is only superficial. Xia Zhi doesn't feel that he knows the two of them very well. The only thing he knows is that their relationship is indeed so good that it is enviable. Perhaps, Ryoko Yamamoto can really It can be seen whether Shiraishi Rika is hiding something.

Because Shiraishi Rika is good enough, even if she wants to hide something, it may be very easy, especially for people who don't know her particularly well.But Yamamoto Ryoko, who she spent time with day and night, was different. She just looked at the other person's face quietly from the side, even leaving aside the food on the table that aroused her great interest. From Natsuki's own perspective, Shiraishi Rika is probably hiding something, and Yamamoto Ryoko may have discovered some clues.

The atmosphere that was originally the same as usual changed unknowingly, and Xia Zhi unconsciously stopped the chopsticks in his hand while he was eating - now was not the right time to continue eating lunch.

He didn't understand anything, but the atmosphere gave Xia Zhi a nasty feeling.

"If you feel uncomfortable, it is better to ask for leave. You have said it yourself, you must be responsible for yourself, otherwise you will just ignore it." Xia Zhi didn't know what to say. He guessed that she might be sick. Zhi didn't think of anything else.And this is indeed possible, because at any time, Shiraishi Rika is a good child who "doesn't need others to worry".

"I'm fine. Don't listen to Liangzi's nonsense." Shiraishi Lihua still smiled lightly and shook her head gently: "Liangzi just worries too much. Aren't I the same as usual? You must have some illusion. .”

"Really..." Ryoko Yamamoto glanced at her slightly suspiciously: "I hope it's just my illusion."

Xia Zhi found that she had not let go of her worries, because Xia Zhi himself was the same.

Yamamoto Ryoko probably did notice something unusual, and Natsuki, more than her own perception, believed in Yamamoto Ryoko, who had been close friends with Shiraishi Rika for such a long time.

After all, the fact that three people can sit together and eat like this, and that she can eat such delicious food almost for free, is probably just because Shiraishi Lihua is an extremely peaceful and kind-hearted person.Xia knew that he was probably nothing in this place.Just a bystander.

"Okay, don't worry about it. If you don't eat lunch, it will be cold. Although it has been a lot colder." Rarely, Shiraishi Rika made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere. Yamamoto Ryoko chuckled: "Rika I started telling jokes too.”

Xia Zhi also smiled "knowingly" and continued the unfinished lunch time of the three of them.

Originally, I was planning to go to Little Angel to discuss some matters at noon today, but now it seems that this is not a good idea.After eating, Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko returned to their seats. Natsuki tried hard to spend the afternoon school time calmly.

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Xia Zhi walked towards the coffee shop again.

As always, today Tachibana Aya came to the coffee shop first. When Natsuki walked into the store, Tachibana Aya was sitting in what had almost become her exclusive seat, drinking a drink, and the store manager was holding a mop. Dragging the ground.

"Have you been discharged from the hospital?" Xia Zhi asked concernedly, but the store manager's face twitched, he stopped what he was doing, and looked at Xia Zhi, who was "gloating at his misfortune".

"It's all your fault. I spent a whole day in the hospital yesterday, and was laughed at by Sayuri and Xiaoyao when I came home." The store manager glared at Xia Zhi: "Why do you put wine in the same bottle as bottled water?" In a bottle? And it was also put in the refrigerator, so I drank so much in one gulp."

"I didn't know that you went to drink cold water without saying anything as soon as you came to the store. This was a complete accident." Xia Zhi spread his hands, trying to clear the inevitable relationship between himself and this "accident".

"Okay, okay. I know you probably didn't mean it, so I'll forgive you generously this time. Then, where did you put my wine?"

"Why, you've already been to the hospital once, and you still want to drink?"

"I only went to the hospital because of an accident. I don't usually drink like that, and it's still such a high degree of alcohol. Even you yourself wouldn't drink liquor like this, right?"

"Well...except for some people with super powers who are already a little inhuman who drink like this, most people should just drink it in small sips."

The only ones who can drink tons of liquor as if it were cold drinks are probably the fighting people next door.

"The alcohol content of this wine is too high, I might not get along well with it." The store manager honestly admitted that he is no match for this wine. It's really good not to be a face-conscious person, at least he won't suffer a lot of losses.

"Then I might as well drink it myself. The alcohol content is still within my tolerance."

"Who said I don't want it? I can drink it slowly, but most importantly, I can give it as a gift to others. Although Japan also has high-alcohol wine, there are not many high-alcohol wines like this. It’s pretty good as a gift.”

How cowardly.

Of course, Xia Zhi just thought about this and didn't say it out loud.

"As for the wine, it's still in the refrigerator. Although it's a plastic bottle, it looks a little different from Japanese bottled water, so it's not hard to recognize. Just take it back to the world you went back to." Xia Zhi spread his hands and said, "Although There are no hard requirements for storage, but it’s best to store it in a cool, dry place.”

"I still know this."

"By the way, if you think it's too spicy, you can heat the wine to make it more comfortable."

Cooking wine is a scene that often occurs in ancient China. How about warming wine to kill Hua Xiong, and cooking wine to talk about heroes? You can probably see that wine is really like a symbiosis that is inseparable from social development, but drinking this thing It’s also particular about how it looks.Although it is not food and cannot fill your stomach, temperature is also very important for alcohol.

Some people think that wine should be drunk when it is cold, so that it tastes better.If you are drinking low-alcohol wine or beer, this is indeed true, because the alcohol content of the wine is low, people can drink it in large gulps, and the cold liquid will enhance the stimulation, which is considered to be drinking with beer. A bonus when using something like that.

But high-alcohol wine is different. Basically no one can drink high-alcohol wine like beer. Even if you drink it in large gulps and want to die, probably no one will go back and lower the temperature specifically - it's too spicy.Xia Zhi had never drank like this, but her father had tried it at a class reunion. When he came back, he said that he should never add ice to the liquor. His expression could only be said to be very regretful, very, very regretful.

Don’t strong men like Guan Erye also need to drink warm wine?Drinking is for enjoyment, not for suffering, there is no need.

"Talking to you always makes me feel like I'm talking to an adult. It feels weird." The store manager complained: "By the way, Sayuri has already told you, right? I've already bought the wine, and I'm going to buy it now." Just put it at home and take it back with me when I go to my house for dinner on weekends."

"I told you. But I still have some things to do that day, so I can only go at night."

"It's up to you. But what can happen to you like this? Is it dating a girl?"

Why did the topic suddenly turn in this direction? What on earth is going on in their heads?

"If nothing else happens, the school festival will be next week. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared in advance."

"Oh, I remembered." The store manager patted his forehead: "School Festival...I'll go and have a look then. I haven't visited anything like this in a long time."

"The time is Monday to Wednesday, how do you get there?"

"Just pick a day to rest." The store manager said nonchalantly: "It's better to say that if I tell the customers in the store, many of them will go and take a look. Maybe you don't know, you are It's very popular here. You look more like a store manager than you, asshole."

The store manager started talking to himself, and Xia Zhi didn't know what kind of expression he should put on.
