Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 497 I don’t want to eat that kind of thing!
Tachibana Aya consciously made way for Xia Zhi to go in. Xia Zhi carried Xiao Xi and walked in. After looking around, Xia Zhi couldn't stand it anymore.When Aya Tachibana told her about rummaging through things, Xia Zhi believed it, because there was extremely clear and obvious evidence of the crime left at the scene - the unknown items scattered on the ground were the best proof.

Xia Zhi bet that she had no intention of cleaning up at all, and even suspected that she asked him to come here because he wanted him to clean up for her.

Xia Zhi pointed to the pile of things that were even more chaotic than the Treasure Mountain he saw a long time ago, and turned to look at Tachibana Aya: "Give me an explanation."

"Oh, I will clean it up later, because there are still a lot of things to find. Just wait until you have done what you need to do before you pack it up. Otherwise, you have to dig it out again after packing it up. That would be so troublesome." Tachibana Aya walked over. Beside the bed, I picked up a seemingly old book from the penetrating cabinet: "Leave that alone, you can take a look at this."

Li Huacai handed over the notebook, and Xia Zhi put Xiaoxi, who was in his arms, on his shoulders, and then went to pick up the notebook.After I got it in my hand, I realized that it doesn't just look old, even the book cover has a unique touch that has been baptized by the years.At least it does have a real sense of age.

However, Xia Zhi held it in his hand, but he didn't dare to turn it over.The older the paper, the more fragile and easily damaged it may even break with the slightest amount of force.If it were just the part written by Tachibana Aya's mother, it would probably be about ten years old. But if we add in the parts written by Tachibana Aya's mother's mother, the actual age of this book could even be about three to forty years.This can already be regarded as a small antique.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to take a look?" Aya Tachibana asked doubtfully. She saw the hesitation on Xia Zhi's face and guessed what he was probably thinking: "Don't worry about it being broken. The quality of this notebook is It’s fine, as long as you don’t use too much force, it’ll be fine.”

In order to reassure Xia Zhi, Tachibana Aya reached out and opened the notebook, proving that the notebook was not as fragile as Xia Zhi imagined.So Xia Zhi started to look at it with relief.It's just that Xiaoxi on the shoulder was secretly picked up by Tachibana Aya at some point.

Tachibana opened the middle page, and Xia Zhi took a casual look at it. It read:

July [-]rd, sunny
Today's attempt to make soy sauce with peanuts failed. It turns out that soy sauce and peanuts are not very compatible. If you want to make it, please remember to avoid it - Tachibana's 251 recipes.

Xia Zhi closed the cookbook with both hands.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and turned another page.

October 21, rain

The soy sauce apple also failed today, and Xiaocai actually cried.Remember not to make it again next time - 373 Tachibana family recipes.

But the soy sauce banana seemed to be pretty good, so Xiao Cai stopped crying after eating it.It seems that it also has the effect of helping sleep - 374 recipes of Tachibana's family.

Xia Zhi closed the "recipe" completely this time and had no intention of opening it again.This "recipe" is not so much a recipe as an experiment log. Xia Zhi can completely imagine how desperate Tachibana was when she ate these dishes made by her mother.

Xia Zhi looked at Li Huacai, who was whispering to Xiaoxi beside her. She was still saying this, calling Xiaoxi an ungrateful cat: "You...you don't really want to eat bananas in soy sauce, do you?"

Natsuki suspected that the sleep-promoting effect may have caused Tachibana to faint after eating it.

"I don't want to eat that kind of thing!" Tachibana Aya's reaction was very fierce, and Lian also started to smoke. At a glance, it was clear that she was thinking of something extremely bad: "I remember that my mother was researching soy sauce at that time. How to use it, it was relatively good at first, at least it was cooking, but then it suddenly turned into fruit or snacks, and I don’t want to eat that kind of thing a second time!”

"Then you still want me to read this cookbook? Aren't you looking for trouble? And this doesn't look like a recipe. There are no names of dishes and no cooking steps."

"Besides those, there are actually a lot of normal dishes! If there are better dishes, I will write them in detail! You can take a look."

Hearing Li Huacai's words, Xia Zhi opened the cookbook again suspiciously, flipped through page by page, skipped many "experimental projects", and finally turned to a page that could be called a recipe .

The name of the dish, ingredients and steps are clearly written on it, and even the amount of seasonings to be used are clearly written.This is pretty good, much better than Xia Zhi's extremely vague quantifiers like "a little" and "some" when he watched it at night.There are even photos posted, showing the contents of the finished dishes, which really feels like a recipe.

Although it is not a very high-end cuisine, even a chef of Xia Zhi's level can get a rough idea after watching it once, but the cuisine itself is not something made to improve the grade. If everyone in the world likes it, If so, wouldn’t it be delicious even if it was just a dish made with ingredients like cabbage and carrots?As long as one likes it, no matter how simple or difficult the cooking is, it can be regarded as the highest quality food, right?
Just like any dish made by Shiraishi Reika, for Xia Zhi, it's all done after blowing it up. The grade is all five-star and it goes all the way up.

This cookbook does have a certain reference value.Although Xia Zhi flipped through it roughly, there are some "experimental items" and not difficult dishes, which are actually quite good for getting started. Even for Xia Zhi, it can be used as a way to expand his own menu powerful assistance.

However, from this cookbook, Natsuki can at least be sure that Tachibana Aya's mother and her mother's mother at least have little knowledge of cooking. Why is Tachibana Aya a waste of housework?I really can’t figure it out.

Probably because I don’t do much housework at ordinary times. When I have money, I do whatever I want. I ask the housekeeping company to send people to clean and so on. I just eat takeout and snacks every day.The most amazing thing is that a person who is obviously very lazy does not seem to have gained much weight.I don't know where all her energy was spent.

"How's it going? My family's ancestral recipes are pretty good, right?" Tachibana Aya said proudly.

"It's okay. It's just that it will be lost when it comes to you." Xia Zhi taunted her: "However, since it is inherited from the ancestors, it is thanks to you that you don't care to show it to others."

"You are not someone else, so what does it matter?"

Xia Zhi snorted softly.
