Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 37 It was obviously you who said it yourself.

It was another leisurely day, and Xia Zhi sat in front of the counter boredly, with his head propped on his hands, with a lazy attitude about to lie on the table, while looking at Maeda who was busy, although in his opinion, this part-time worker The newcomer is doing some unnecessary things, but if the newcomer-chan doesn't do something, he always seems to feel a little overwhelmed, so Xia Zhi has no choice but to let her clean the table like the icing on the cake.

There were not many customers in the store, not even a few regular customers came today, and the store manager went to the concert of some pretty girl like a folk idol.However, it is said that this young lady seems to be in a competitive relationship with the store manager, Miss Lemmy. When I asked him one day, he vaguely said something about "love both sides" and "you can have your cake and eat it too." "Everyone is a good boy" and so on.

It's probably similar to the fat house that has one wife every quarter... No, there seems to be some difference. The fat house is changing wives, and the store manager wants to start a harem... Tsk, he is such an unreliable person.Should I tell Sayuri-san?
As for the newcomer-chan, she has long been forgotten.

"Xia Zhijun, I have finished cleaning."

"Huh? Well, oh... let's take a rest."

"...Working here means you are taking a break every day, right?"

"What a serious person... Be lazy when you can. This is how mature adults do things."

"Xia Zhijun and I are the same age, right!?"

After all, Xia Zhi lay down on the counter bored.

"There is an old saying in China, which is that those who achieve first come first. We must have respect for the predecessors on the road of life."

"My respect has been exhausted in just a few days!"

Mayumi's strong retort made Xia Zhi feel... nothing, like a salted fish dried on the beach, not wanting to move at all.Mayumi really couldn't show any due respect to this career senior who had no dreams, but with nothing to do, she could only sit down opposite Xia Zhi in the end.

"You can easily earn pocket money, where can you find such a good part-time job..."

"Xia Zhijun is the one. If you don't cherish this job, you will regret it. Really."

"Ah..." Xia Zhi moaned meaninglessly as he was not good at dealing with serious people.

And Mayumi, who had received a very strict tutoring since childhood, decided to take the opportunity to educate him. Even the seniors who have rotten so-called adult thoughts must give him a chance to be a new person.

"Um, Xia Zhijun..."

"Mayumi, do you know?"

Natsuki, who realized what Mayumi was going to do, hurriedly asked.If you are pestered by a serious person, you cannot answer the question with perfunctory sentences.

"Eh?"

"Pandas actually eat meat."

"Eh!?"

Seeing the surprised expression on her face, Xia Zhi felt that he was quite surprised.Although the giant pandas that can still be seen in front of the public are holding bamboo and gnawing under the camera every day, shouldn't the knowledge that pandas are omnivores have long been common knowledge?There was a time when a relative's cousin was watching a video of a panda eating bamboo and kept asking him why he wasn't given meat, just like a naughty kid who had just learned a new nirvana and couldn't wait to show it off.

Something seems wrong, that cousin seems to be a naughty kid...

"Liar. Liar, right? Such a cute creature actually eats meat..."

"Although I usually gnaw and gnaw on bamboo, pandas are real omnivores. I'm a Chinese student, so I won't lie to you."

"...Can't accept it, I can't accept it no matter what."

"Accept reality."

Xia Zhi tried to persuade her with good words, but the girl had a look on her face as she took out her mobile phone and searched online.Until a customer walked into the store again. After Xia Zhi shouted welcome, he rushed the lost Mayumi to receive the customer.

Salted fish means you can do whatever you want.

The part-time job ended quickly as always, and before I knew it, it was time to go home again.Wandering on the dim street, I unknowingly walked to the convenience store. I originally wanted to buy some ingredients or snacks, but when I was about to walk in, I saw a sneaky shadow.Xia Zhi turned around and left without saying a word.

The crisp movement attracted the sneaky man's attention, and the man ran over quickly.

"You stop!"

Natsuki sighed and turned to look at Tachibana Aya, who was running towards him.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh... ha... why are you asking me? Are there people like you who turn around and leave as soon as you see your friends!"

"Since when did we become friends?"

"what?"

She immediately took off her hat and looked half-heartedly heartbroken.

"I consider you a friend, but you actually want to abandon me."

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes.

"So, what are you doing sneaking around here so late?"

"Buy some snacks and stuff, and I have to write a manuscript at night."

"The point I'm talking about is sneaky."

"Who is being sneaky? I was just disguising."

"I told you a long time ago, no one knows you, don't worry."

Xia Zhi still shattered the girl's unrealistic fantasy with soft words.

"Although you are very famous, you have never shown your face. Who knows you?"

The other party pointed at Xia Zhi.Sighing, "I know you, and you came over to stop me. Are you not thinking well?"

"Did you just scold me in a roundabout way?"

"No." That's not beating around the bush at all.

Tachibana Aya thought about it carefully, and then quickly opened her coat, revealing the casual shirt underneath. The pattern printed on it seemed like Xia Zhi had seen it somewhere.It took me a long time to remember that it was still a character in her own work.How proud this man must be.

"It's killing me."

"It's so hot and so capable of causing trouble."

Xia Zhi sarcastically said that he didn't know whether this person was famous or not, and he really didn't have the desire to meet a big shot.

"It doesn't matter, my family lives nearby anyway..."

She suddenly glared at Xia Zhi angrily.

"You tell me what to say."

"Be reasonable. You obviously said it yourself."

Tachibana Aya curled her lips and thought for a while, it seemed that was indeed the case, so she didn't say anything.The so-called outspokenness is probably nothing more than that.But Tachibana Aya doesn't have any integrity. An imaginative creature like a writer will always think about things that are not true. Suspiciousness, hallucinations, etc. are all inherent attributes.However, the suspense novels written by writers with paranoia may be more immersive, and the worlds created by writers with hallucinations may be more innovative.

However, as interesting as it is interesting, it is still more troublesome to actually interact with them.

"Are you still shopping?"

The other party asked. Although Xia Zhi wanted to leave this troublesome person for a moment, there was nothing he could do since he was caught up, and since he had already made a plan, it was not good to change it at will.

"purchase."

"You buy something and then leave."

The two walked into the convenience store and walked around, but in the end they didn't buy too much.On the other hand, looking at Tachibana Aya, there were two big bags of snacks, and the girl at the checkout looked at them straight-eyed when checking out.But seeing her readily taking out the banknotes to pay, she didn't ask in the end.But Xia Zhi did the little sister a favor.

Looking at the two big bags of snacks with a look of shame, Xia Zhi watched her purchase them with his own eyes.If she hadn't only had two hands, she might have had more.

"Have you finished eating it all by yourself? The shelf life of these things doesn't seem to be as long as you think."

"These? It's not enough for me to eat for a week."

Xia Zhi admired him.

"You didn't become a fat nerd."

"How rude! I'm the type who doesn't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

She looked triumphant again, and the shop assistant next to her looked envious.Even so, Xia Zhi always felt that this person didn't seem to be telling the truth.But there is no need to worry about this kind of thing.

The two walked out of the convenience store, and Natsuki, who originally wanted to go their separate ways, found that Tachibana Aya, who was holding snacks in both hands, had been chatting with him in nutritious gossip.

"Don't you need to go home with these two bags of stuff?"

"Eh? My home is right here, but you, don't you need to go home?"

Xia Zhi felt that this was too much of a coincidence.He paused for a while, then continued walking in silence. He came to the front of Tachibana Aya, and the girl chattered after him.

"Isn't your family here too?"

Xia Zhi, who was in a complicated mood, nodded.

"Really? I just moved here this month because the apartment I originally rented is temporarily unavailable due to some minor problems."

"I guess the reason is that you were acting suspiciously and people nearby called the police."

"What!? How did you know?"

"Really..."

Xia Zhi no longer knew what expression to use to express his shock.However, she was forced to move because of this reason, so she was strong enough to a certain extent.

This man is invincible.And it's hopeless.

"Ah, I'm home."

Tachibana Aya said this, Xia Zhi turned around and glanced at the apartment she was talking about. Even though he was a salty person, he was still frightened by this high-end apartment building.When Xia Zhi came to Japan to look for an apartment, he also visited this high-end apartment building. The floors were high, there was an elevator, and the sunlight on the balcony was quite good. The apartment was about forty square meters, except for the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom. Separated, the layout of the entire apartment is like an oversized room. Xia Zhi likes this design very much.Then when I asked about the price, I said goodbye to the staff and left.

Compared with the apartment that Xia Zhi lives in now, the price is nearly ten times higher.If he really lived there, Xia Zhi might still be poor even if he worked five or six jobs every day.

At this time, when Natsuki looked at Tachibana Aya, there was something close to the hostility of the proletariat towards the capitalists, and there was also a sigh that my fate is not up to my fate.It would be great if you could become a time traveler or a person with super powers, then you could make a lot of money.

"Ah hahaha. Are you envious? Do you want to know what it's like inside?"
