Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 298

It was the same as Xia Zhi guessed, but there was a slight discrepancy. I originally brought less than ten discount coupons with Tachibana Aya, but when I came out of the mall, there were thirteen. When I was in a coffee shop, I was handed four more discount coupons by strangers I didn’t know on the street. The number of discount coupons increased instead of decreasing.

Xia Zhi had a pocket full of discount coupons and didn't know what to do.

Can this mall really make money?Xia Zhi is not quite sure.

Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Xia Zhi walked in with the things he bought. Uncle Nakamura and the two girls whom he met before were already sitting in the shop. When Xia Zhi walked into the shop, they were still Say hello to Xia Zhi.

Of course, Tachibana Aya had also arrived and was sitting where she had been sitting before.There was a paper bag on the ground, and Xiaoxi was lying on the ground drinking milk. Tachibana Aya, who was playing with her mobile phone, turned around when she heard the sound of the store door opening, and waved when she saw Xia Zhi.

"Xia Zhi."

"I can see..."

Xia Zhi walked over. The store manager was still standing at the counter. Xia Zhi handed him the purchased items and the remaining change.

"Take it and see if there is anything missing. Even if it is missing, I don't really want to buy it again."

"Then what you said makes no sense at all..." The store manager took the things and flipped them over casually: "But I bought all the things I wanted. Please go run errands. I'll make dinner today. Yes. Xiaoyao and Sayuri are going out to eat delicious food today, and I am the only one staying here all alone... This is all your fault. Something happened suddenly or something. "

"There's nothing I can do about it... In other words, don't complain, just accept it honestly. You, as the store manager, are not in the store every day, so what's the matter?"

"Hands off, boss, otherwise why would I hire you? You must be worthy of your own conscience and wages."

Xia Zhi glanced at him with disdain: "Then you have to double my salary."

"I can get a raise, but you don't want it."

The store manager spread his hands.

"...We're not short of money for now, let's talk about it later."

"Look. Are all you Chinese students so heartless?"

"I am using lower conditions to stabilize my financial resources."

"Anyway, if you are short of money, just let me know. The semester has just started, and your tuition, rent, and living expenses... I really don't think you can support it at two thousand yen a day."

"Then you underestimate me too much."

"It's okay." Li Huacai listened and then interrupted: "If Xia Zhi has no place to live, I can let him live in my house, it's okay, I don't mind."

"I mind!" Xia Zhi glared at her: "I don't know if I can persevere? Don't cause trouble for me."

"Well, it's up to you. It's quite easy to survive in Japan. Oh, by the way, that guy from Nakamura just said that he gave you a few discount coupons and then told me about discounts. Is it true?"

"It's true... I use this discount coupon more and more."

Xia Zhi took out all the dozen or so identical discount coupons he had in his pocket.

"Tsk, it is indeed this. I have it here too, but I forgot to give it to you."

The store manager also took out three cards and put them together with Xia Zhi's dozen or so cards.

"That's too much."

"There are indeed a lot of them, but they are all limited items, with quantity restrictions, and the discounts are not high. If you don't have to buy a lot of things to make things worse, this thing is actually not very useful. I came from home today. I was pushed over from time to time, but I didn't have anything to buy, so I wasn't interested."

"Even so...I can't use it, or else throw it away?"

"Why throw it away?" Li Huacai picked up the cup containing the juice and drank it: "Aren't you going to hold a school festival? Isn't it good to use these discount coupons to go to the mall to buy props?"

Eh?
This idea is okay.

"These discount coupons are valid for two days. The limited products include batches of cups, fruits and many other things. Many of them can be used by you for the school festival, right? You can buy them tomorrow, right? Although I don't need them anymore. , but it should save a lot of money.”

"A bit clever." Xia Zhi praised, and Tachibana Aya immediately became proud.

"Of course! If I hadn't remembered that you seemed to be using this thing, I wouldn't have picked it up at the time. Thank me!"

"Thank you." Xia Zhi said without sincerity, and then took out his mobile phone.

Sakuraba-sensei seems to have left the preparations for the school festival to Lihua, so it would be better to ask her.

"What an insincere thank you."

"Don't make trouble, I'll make a call."

Xia Zhi turned around and found a small plate. He placed a piece of cake on it from the freezer where the cake was placed and pushed it to Tachibana Aya.Unlike Tachibana Aya's smiling expression, the store manager's eyes twitched.

"Hey, although I don't mind it very much, it's too much for you to bring things from the store to give to girls openly, and it's in front of me."

"Four hundred yen, Seimei."

Tachibana Aya's smile froze, but the store manager's eyes twitched even more.

"There is still a long way to go, so you need to refuel. There is no charge for this."

The store manager comforted Tachibana Aya, who ate the cake bite by bite as if she was about to cry.

Xia Zhi was on the phone. Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Xia Zhi felt a little uneasy.That incident happened just a few hours ago, and now we have to call the person involved... Although Lihua didn't know it, Xia Zhi was still very nervous.

The old trick, take a deep breath and relax...

Then the call was connected.

"Hey, this is Shiraishi Rika."

Perhaps because of processing such as signal conversion, the other party's voice sounded a little shaky.

"Hi, I'm Xia Zhi. Are you free now? I have something to discuss."

"Ah, um. Ryoko! Xia Zhijun, wait a moment... (slightly messy voice)... Okay, Xia Zhijun, please tell me."

Sounds like he's very busy.

"Is Ryoko here too? That's just right. Didn't Teacher Sakuraba say before that we should prepare for the school festival by ourselves? Are the necessary props and other items sufficient?"

"Yuan, is this what happened..."

Shiraishi Rika sounded relieved.

"In terms of props... there are many things that are not enough, such as the most basic ingredients, condiments, and fruits, and there are no kitchen utensils and tableware. Although clothes need to be purchased, you may be able to borrow suitable clothes. There are others. There are a lot of things. But Sakuraba-sensei said that the budget for the school festival has been provided, so you can just buy it when you have free time."

It looks like she has already made a plan, as expected of her.

"Well, it's like this. I got a lot of discount coupons from shopping malls outside here. I should be able to buy enough cheap props and ingredients. Do you want it?"

"Eh? Discount coupon?"

"Well, there have been a lot of people handing out discount coupons in the coffee shop these two days. I unexpectedly collected a lot of them. If I need to buy a lot of items, I might be able to help. But the mall is also here. , and I didn’t say I paid attention to the specific quality, so I’m not sure. The discount coupon can only be used for these two days, so I can keep it if you need it.”

"Of course!" On the other side of the phone, Ryoko Yamamoto yelled loudly, the volume was suddenly so loud that Xia Zhi subconsciously took the phone away from her ear.

"The budget for the school festival is actually not as big as imagined. Most classes still need to find other ways. If there is a place to get a lot of cheap props, it is simply a dream. Xia Zhi, you are saying that you can do it in these two days Use it, right?"

"Yep."

"Then tomorrow! Let's go see it after school tomorrow afternoon."

"I still have a job..."

"Let's have a look together."

"I still……"

"Let's have a look together."

It seemed that Ryoko Yamamoto didn’t want to let herself go.And her loud voice was heard by the store manager and Tachibana Aya next to her.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it. This is your first time attending the school festival, so it's okay to pay more attention to it. You can go shopping tomorrow and then come back to work."

On your side! ?
Xia Zhi turned to look at the store manager with such meaningful eyes, who looked at Xia Zhi in confusion.

"I heard it! So it's okay to go together tomorrow, right? That's it."

Natsuki was manipulated again, this time by Ryoko Yamamoto and the store manager.

"Is it so lively? Can I come with you?"

Tachibana Aya asked from the side, with a very interested expression on her face.

"Na!" Yamamoto Ryoko's shocked voice came over: "Then... Is Tachibana-senpai over there too? I forgot about it."

"Don't cause trouble." Xia Zhi glanced at her.This is to prepare for the school festival, not to play.

"That's too much. I'm the one who reminded you of this method."

Said such words, but Tachibana Aya didn't seem to care very much.She probably also knew what kind of answer she would get.

However, the next second.

"Yes." Bai Shi Lihua's voice came over clearly: "Xia Zhijun can invite Senior Lihua to come together, it will be more lively if there are more people."

Not to mention Xia Zhi, Tachibana Aya was also confused.

"Okay, if you don't mind."

"...I was just kidding."

"Well, Xia Zhijun, see you at school tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Xia Zhi hung up the phone.

"...What a good boy."

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes.

"That's true in terms of reliability."

"That's really rude. I'm also very reliable, okay?"

"Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi." The store manager pulled Xia Zhi's sleeve over there, as if he had something to say.Xia Zhi tilted his head and leaned over, Tachibana Aya also came closer, but Xia Zhi persuaded him to retreat with his eyes.

"Although I think you do need a girlfriend to enrich your barren student life, if you step on a few boats, you will die miserably in the end. Ito Makoto, you know that, right?"

Xia Zhi slapped his hand away.

"What are you thinking about? It's just a normal relationship between friends."

"Who would believe this?... In short, we must make a decision on this matter as soon as possible. You can't be a bad guy who bullies girls. Do you understand?"

"...I almost believe things that obviously don't exist. Don't worry, if it's really what you think, I know what to do myself."

National conditions are different, and personal thoughts and feelings can really be very different.Xia Zhi was a little helpless.But there is nothing I can do except adapt.It has always been the case that only people adapt to society, and I have never heard of society adapting to people.

"It's fine if you know it. However, it's okay to worry about it now, after all, they all seem to be very good girls. But if you have to say it, Cai-chan looks a little closer, you can think about it."

"..." Xia Zhi didn't know what to say. She glanced at Tachibana Aya next to her. She lowered her head and looked at Xiao Xi who was resting on the ground in a daze.

The time we have been together is not short, and the senses of the opposite festoon are not bad. Just imagine the scene of living together for a long time. Although it is very noisy, it is not annoying, let alone being ignored by myself all the time. Tachibana Aya's excellence as a member of the opposite sex - although she doesn't think so, but as far as this country is concerned, it is really a magical thing that she does not have a boyfriend.

don't think, don't think...

"Xia Zhi, when will we get married?"

Xia Zhi couldn't hold back and slapped her on the top of her head.

"Oops! I was just kidding!"

"Don't make fun of things like this."

After glaring at her, his previous positive impressions of her were diluted a lot.Sure enough, even if he was going to get married, being with her would never be boring, but it would definitely be very tiring, both physically and mentally.

"But, should I go or not tomorrow..."

"Don't want to go again?"

"The main reason is that I feel that my position is somewhat strange. This world is unreasonable, and this kind of thing obviously won't happen."

"You have to learn to accept reality. Anyway, you have met many times. Do you want to come together?"

"All the beautiful girls have invited me, do you think I can not go? I will be punished by God. No one in this world can refuse the invitation of a beautiful girl! Xia Zhi, you are not human."

If Aya Tachibana wasn't a girl, this sentence wouldn't sound so strange.

It's so troublesome...

"If you were normal, even if I would refuse, I wouldn't say it so obviously. No girl can say that she is beautiful."

"Because what I said is the truth." Aya Tachibana sat upright confidently and looked at the expressionless Xia Zhi next to her: "Don't you want to say that I'm not beautiful?"

"Facts are facts. Even if I don't see a girl prettier than you, this is not the reason for you to be so immoral." Xia Zhi sighed.

Tachibana Aya's face turned red inexplicably, then turned away and looked to the other side.

The store manager who was eating melon and watching a show next to him coughed twice and turned around to pour himself juice.

This kind of high-end operation cannot be learned. If you cannot learn it, say goodbye.
