Kamen Rider, the Mission Must Be Fulfilled!

"Ma Po Tofu, last time your Mapo Tofu gave me a new touch, this time I must try to reproduce your taste."

"Then I will wait and see. If there is anything that needs my help, please feel free to tell me and I will do my best."

Smiling and exchanging greetings with Tiandao, Zheng Yi turned his head to look at the uncle owner who had the atmosphere of a comedian unique to Kansai people, nodded politely and said, "Boss, do you have any fried tofu?"

"Oh! It's a coincidence. There are still a lot of fried tofu left. Brother, how much do you want?"

"Please help me pack five yuan."

"Oh, it's for home use, right? Brother, wait a minute, I'll pack it for you."

"Excuse me."

The enthusiastic shopkeeper turned around, quickly wrapped five pieces of fried tofu, turned around and handed it to Zheng Yi, and at the same time accepted the cash that Zheng Yi handed over: "Oh, I'm afraid my change is a little short, Wait, little brother, I'll ask my wife to bring some change down."

As he said that, the shopkeeper turned his head and shouted into the shop, "Hey! Old woman! Get some change!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper had diverted his attention, Zheng Yi also took advantage of the opportunity to look at Yache Xiang, and asked softly, "Who is this?"

"stranger."

"As the gentleman said."

There was no rebuttal to Tiandao's words, Yache wanted to smile and nodded at Zheng Yi: "I don't know this gentleman well, it's just that we were going to buy tofu so we just met by chance."

"Is that so... Could it be that there is not enough tofu?"

Zheng Yi glanced at the only piece of tofu in the bowl on the window sill: "I seemed to see the two arguing just now."

"I'm sorry, sir, it is indeed as you said, unfortunately only this last piece is left. I originally hoped to be half of this Mr. Tiandao, but it seems that Mr. Tiandao doesn't like this solution."

"Grandma once said that."

Tiandao looked straight ahead: "The one who chases two rabbits can win both."

"As you can see, for this, we are going to conduct a competition."

"Is that so..."

"Oh my brother, I've been waiting for a long time, come, get some change."

The uncle shopkeeper on the side interrupted the conversation at this time, and put the change in Zheng Yi's hand with a simple and honest smile.Taking a glance from the corner of the eye to make sure there was nothing wrong, Zheng Yi put away the change, took the wrapped fried tofu and led Tachibana to turn around.

"Then since the two of you are busy competing, I won't bother you any more, just go ahead—"

But before he could step away, Tiandao grabbed his shoulder.

The smile on Zheng Yi's face turned bitter all of a sudden.

"That... Mister Tiandao?"

"There is still a referee missing."

Tiandao stared at the helpless Zheng Yi: "Follow me."

"But I still have to cook for Tachibana and other people in the apartment..."

"There are still five full hours until noon, more than enough."

"But why do I have to do it? If it's just the referee, isn't Mr. Kagami also available? He should be free at this time, right?"

"Is there any reason to go to a stone to straighten your clothes without looking in the mirror?"

"Hey……"

"Brother, let's go!"

Lihua shook Zheng Yi's palm, and his face was full of joy that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Sighing, Zheng Yi looked at Yache beside him, and made his last struggle: "Sir, do you think it's okay for an ordinary young man like me to be the referee? Or someone appointed by the opponent."

"I'm fine, and judging from the conversation between the two just now, sir's cooking skills should not be bad. I just want to trouble you, sir, to spend a little time arbitrating our victory or defeat."

However, Yache Xiang only responded to Zheng Yi with a seemingly humble but confident attitude. Obviously, the plan to find a breakthrough to escape from here fell short.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Zheng Yi drooped his shoulders and nodded.

"Okay, but I'm really not good at judging dishes. The final conclusion I can draw may be which one suits my taste better. Is that okay?"

"That's fine."

"Excuse me."

The styles are very different, but they all express the meaning of not minding.

Zheng Yi had no choice but to accept his fate.

"Then... let's go."

-

"So, you chose us here?"

Looking at the three handsome young men with different styles in front of her, as the manager of the western restaurant Bistro la Salle, Yumiko Takemiya was a little uncertain about the current situation.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"No, it's nothing. It's not business hours anyway. But Mr. Zhengyi, don't you have to go to work today? Is it a rotation?"

"Yes, sorry to bother you, Manager Zhugong."

"Oh, don't be so pretentious. I haven't thanked you for sending Xiaoxu back last time. Say hello to Sha Cang for me!"

"I'll bring my regards for you."

"Hey... that's great. It would be great if we could exchange Kagami-kun with Masayoshi-kun and let Masayoshi-kun work in our store."

Holding her face in her hands, Yumiko Takemiya sighed and patted Zheng Yi's shoulder.

The store manager of Sakura and the store manager of Takemiya are both the store managers of the western restaurant, and they are both well-known store owners in the Tokyo area. In fact, they have always had a good relationship with each other. Zheng Yi came to Nero and The manager of the yarn warehouse was introduced to the other party by the manager of the yarn storehouse during the chat, and in just over an hour, through capable working methods, he left a deep impression on Yumiko Takemiya, who was listening to the manager of the yarn storehouse praising Zheng Yi. Excellent impression.

Facing Yumiko Takemiya's ridicule, Zheng Yi could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile.

"Then, the theme of the competition is tofu cooking, and the referees are Xiaoxu and Kujo."

The words interrupted the greetings over there, and Tiandao got up from the kitchen counter.

"let's start."

Leave Note: Urgent Documents (Sorrowful)

As in the title, in this position, it is really easy in my spare time, but once there are important urgent documents or related occasions that need to be recorded or attended, I often have to run around day and night.

Today's time is definitely too late. Calculate the time, and when I return to my cozy nest after processing the urgent documents at night, it will probably be one or two o'clock in the morning tomorrow.

So I quickly sent a chapter request for leave while eating to prevent everyone from waiting for the update to no avail.

That way I really don’t have the energy to type (paralyzed)

Speaking of which, I owe two chapters.

Hey... I don't know when this project will be completed. Unfortunately, things like pigeons can be encountered even at work, so when will this project be resolved and when will I be free? I have time to make up the leave, it depends on the progress of the other side (crying)

In short, readers and friends, I'm sorry, there is no update today, I will find time to make up, but I can't tell the time (crying)

I am sorry if it caused you a bad experience in reading, and I hope you can understand.

Well, see you in tomorrow's update

good night

Chapter 47: A draw?

Chili, pepper, and fresh beef are minced and diced, plus the bean paste taken out...

"Mr. Yache, are you making mapo tofu?"

"You guessed it."

They exchanged names early on, and Yache and Zheng Yi, who are also quite gentle and courteous in dealing with others, get along very well.Different from the arrogance of heaven from the inside to the outside, Zheng Yi's easy-going but decisive style of behavior is quite in line with Yacar's aesthetics, and those who can propose a theory of perfect reconciliation will naturally be more inclined to look [suitable for it] Reconcile] people to communicate.

"Have you studied Chinese cuisine?"

"I dare not say research, but I did get involved."

"You are too modest."

Zheng Yi nodded slightly as he watched the Yacar knife cut the tofu into equal-sized pieces.Being able to cut tofu so skillfully and accurately into the most suitable size without breaking and losing its own flavor during cooking, this level of knife skills cannot be summed up in four words.

It can be predicted that this mapo tofu dish from Yache's hands may have a high standard that is not expected.

Turning around, Zheng Yi looked at Tiandao at the other kitchen counter.

According to the plot of the original drama, the cold tofu made by Tiandao here will lose to Yache's mapo tofu because Xiaoxu prefers hot dishes.As for which of the two dishes is more delicious, this puzzle is actually not conclusive until the end of the play.

Zheng Yi likes both hot and cold dishes, and there will be no preference ratings like Xiao Xu's because of taste.Although he rejected it in his heart at first, Zheng Yi couldn't help being a little excited when he could actually serve as a referee to judge the level of cooking skills of the two.

Let me see whether Yache's mapo tofu is more delicious, or Tiandao's cold beans——

"..."

Staring at the materials on Tiandao's kitchen table, Zheng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in a daze, "That, Mr. Tiandao?"

There was no reply, but Tiandao raised his eyebrows, signaling Zheng Yi to speak directly.

Chili, Chinese prickly ash, beef, bean paste, the materials on the Tiandao kitchen table are exactly the same as those in Yache.
