Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 493
The store door was opened, and Xia Zhi was about to say "Welcome", but he didn't expect that the store manager came in, so he couldn't help but swallow "Welcome" back.

But the store manager seemed to notice Xia Zhi's little move, and walked over with wide eyes.

"What's that expression on your face? Are you so disgusted when the store manager comes over?"

"No, you must have read it wrong." Xia Zhi blurted out in denial.

"You kid... forget it. Do you know what time it is now?" the store manager asked.

However, when Xia Zhi saw the store manager coming, he knew it without looking at the time.He himself said before that he would come back at five o'clock, and Xia Zhi did not forget this.

"Since it's five o'clock, I'll go back first." Natsuki was about to walk out of the counter, but this action also alerted Tachibana Aya, who was playing with her mobile phone.

She raised her head and looked at Xia Zhi, who was about to walk out of the counter: "Is it five o'clock? Time flies so fast."

"You've been playing with your phone all the time, so time certainly flies by."

"Let's discuss it. You should cook the rice first before going there. Otherwise, it will be like yesterday, and you will eat so late. You will be very hungry."

"Can't you go back to eat with Xia Zhi? You've already paid for it. Aren't eating in the store the same as eating at Xia Zhi's house?" The store manager was a little confused.

"There are deep reasons for this." Xia Zhi explained: "In general, it's okay on weekends. If I go there during the week, I might die miserably."

"what?"

"In other words, I am still trying to integrate into the family." Tachibana Aya held her chin: "My sister is really difficult to deal with."

Xia Zhi stared at her: "That's my sister!"

"It's all the same."

"What's the same?"

Xia Zhi shook his head, not planning to argue too much with her.Anyway, Xia Zhi would never agree to letting his sister out.

The store manager also shook his head. He felt that his thinking might no longer keep up with modern young people.Are you really old?
"Anyway, let's cook the rice first, okay? You can't bear to see such a cute girl starving to death in the store where you work, right?" Tachibana Aya and Natsuki were reasoning, but for Natsuki, this Some don't make sense.

"Why don't you just ask the store manager to cook it? Since the water and rice are the same, can it be cooked to produce a different flavor?" Xia Zhi walked out of the counter with one foot.

The store manager just wanted to clear up the relationship and refused Xia Zhi's unreasonable request for the sake of Xiaocai's future happiness.But before it was his turn to take action, Tachibana Aya took care of it himself.

She looked at Xia Zhi and said seriously: "There will be less. There will be less of a taste called happiness."

???

???

"Are you kidding me?" an expression appeared on Xia Zhi's face.The store manager also twitched his eyes because of Tachibana Aya's words.He decided not to cook for these two people anymore, it was so annoying.

Xia Zhi looked at the store manager, who turned his head to the other side, obviously not wanting to get involved in the personal affairs of these two people.Xia Zhi was helpless.

"You have a lot to do." He said, then retreated to the counter, ready to cook the rice first: "Manager, do you want it?"

"Of course I will go home and have dinner with Xiaoyao."

"I think Sayuri-san might have forgotten to cook your food." Xia Zhi guessed maliciously.After all, Sister Sayuri and Xiao Yao usually have dinner together, and Sister Sayuri is quite busy, so it's not impossible that she might forget to cook the manager's meal for a while.

"No, it's impossible. Sayuri will never forget to cook my rice." The store manager shook his head crazily, but what Xia Zhi saw was not conviction, but deep doubts.Probably, after Xia Zhi left, he would secretly make a phone call to tell Sister Sayuri that he was going back for dinner.

Natsuki skillfully found the rice bag and the rice cooker. After quickly cooking the rice, he pressed the cooking button in front of Tachibana Aya.Turning to look at Tachibana Aya, she had a satisfied smile on her face.

Xia Zhi stood up: "You won't ask me to prepare the dishes before going back, right? Then the store manager really doesn't want to go home for dinner."

"That's obviously not possible." The store manager immediately dismissed Xia Zhi's doubts: "Go back quickly, and then come back quickly."

"Then I can go." Xia Zhi walked out of the counter directly this time.

There is no need to change clothes, after all, I have to come back to visit the store later.

"Have a nice trip." Tachibana Aya waved to Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi turned around and left.Mayumi came here, ready to place an order, but what she saw was the store manager's expression as if his mouth was stuffed with something. This expression was very familiar to me, because I don't know when it started. There will be such an expression.Especially when in this store.

"Manager, two coffees and two strawberry cakes each, please hurry up." The best way to help him get out of pain is to let another thing fill his mind.Mayumi chose to use her work to fulfill this role, which happened to not delay her work. It was simply the best of both worlds.

Mayumi glanced at Tachibana Aya with a happy smile that was not even hidden on her face, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Will I also become like this one day? ...Probably not.

She shook her head and turned to do other work.

On Xia Zhi's side, after walking out of the store, he trotted back in the direction of his apartment. Whether it was cooking or cooking, it took time. He couldn't just finish it slowly and then let the store do it. You won’t even have food to eat when you grow back, right?If Xiaoyao is soft-hearted and waits for the store manager to go back for dinner, wouldn't she become the guilty party?This was not the result Xia Zhi wanted.

He quickly returned to his apartment. Although physical education classes in Japanese schools were truly tiring, running all the way to the apartment was not an easy task for Xia Zhi.

It seems that I really need to exercise.

It's just that making up your mind and doing it are two completely different things... there will always be a way.

Xia Zhi opened the door of the apartment with the key and walked in.He didn't shout "I'm back" or anything like that. According to yesterday's experience, Xia Meng should still be sleeping at this meeting.

However, the outcome of things was probably the opposite of what he thought. Xia Zhi walked from the entrance to the living room and saw Xia Meng sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Probably because she was startled by her own movement back, she put down the book and turned around.Because he could only see the area above his neck, Xia Zhi saw Xia Meng's head turn back 180 degrees and almost screamed in fright.

"came back?"

Xia Zhi nodded timidly.

But Master Xia Meng didn't care about him, and after asking a word, he turned his head and went back to read the book.
