Love comes after eating halberds

She had been staring at the claw machine for a long time, and finally Hoshino Sora saw it. It cost her thirty or forty coins to pick it out, and it was given to her as a gift.

It's the reward for going out on a date today.

But to be honest, at first I called Alice Nakiri just to ask her to help get things, but in the end I just found a convenient stroller (wheelchair).

It was already noon.

"Now let's go have a meal first?"

Hoshino Sora asked hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, I know a restaurant that tastes great, and it's a Chinese restaurant. But the owner of that store has a weird personality. Whether you can get the food or not depends on luck."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Nakiri Alice finally revealed the location of the treasure shop.

A small shop hidden deep in an alley. The manager is an old man who is over [-] years old. Her grandfather once took her to visit, and she had the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.

Afterwards, she visited several times, but the store manager either refused to accept customers or was out traveling, leaving a granddaughter busy inside.

She had never seen him cooking, so he must have been someone who didn't know how to cook. The descendants of chefs were not necessarily chefs. The reason was simple.

"Is there such a thing? Then why didn't this store close down..."

Hearing Alice Nakiri's description, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but be a little confused. The rent of the hotel at the foot of Totsuki Mountain must not be low.

"Because the food in that store is sold at extremely high prices. To put it simply, most people can't afford it. If you want to eat, you need to make a reservation two years in advance. Whether you can go there directly or not depends on your luck.

However, the taste of his food is definitely worth the wait. "

"So awesome? Then I have to go and see it!"

Hearing Nakiri Alice's description, Hoshino Sora suddenly became interested. This is exactly the template of the hermit master!If he can get his guidance, his cooking skills will rise like a rocket!

"Turn right at the alley ahead..."

Chapter 13 Sichuan Chef Ms. Xiangling

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

Pushing open the old wooden door, Hoshino Sora greeted him loudly inside. Then, a girl with a double-ring bun hairstyle appeared in front of him. Her hair was blue and purple.

"What's the matter? If you want to make a reservation for my grandfather's cooking, you can register here, but the time may have to be five years later. If you want to try my cooking, you can do it now."

After wiping the wooden dining table countless times and looking at Sora Hoshino and Alice Nakiri who came in through the door, Xiangling put down the rag in her hand and spoke with a smile.

"You are that little girl, do you remember me? The girl who often came here to beg for food in the past two years, but I remember you don't know how to cook."

"Who are you? Ah, it's you! It's been a long time since I last saw you. What's wrong with your legs...

I just became the chef of this store today. My cooking skills were not good enough before, and they were far from being able to sell food, so I actually know how to cook. "

After looking at Alice Nakiri carefully for a long time, Xiangling tried hard to recall the identity of the other party, and then she seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on her face.

"I accidentally suffered a minor injury in the morning, but you have become a chef, you are so awesome!"

Hearing the triumphant voice of the girl in front of her, Nakiri Alice said with some surprise, this guy actually became the chef. Does she also have the strength of the old man?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!The other person seems to be about the same age as her, how could he be at that level!

"Hey hey hey, do you want to try my creative dishes?"

With an honest smile on her face, her hands on both sides, and a bit of excitement in her eyes, Xiangling looked at the two people in front of her and said expectantly as if she had thought of something.

“Creative dishes?”

They looked at each other and saw curiosity in each other's eyes. It was a rare trip here and I felt a little sorry not to taste this so-called creative dish.

"Okay, guests, please wait here for a moment, I will cook for you."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hoshino Sora felt that Xiang Ling's expression changed slightly after they accepted the creative dishes.

Maybe an illusion.

Seeing Xiang Ling jumping and leaving lively, Hoshino Sora raised his hand and scratched his head, then pushed Alice Nakiri to find a table in the corner to sit down, and took in the environment of the store.

Small, this was his first impression.

Old, this was his second impression.

Clean, this was his third impression.

"Can you eat spicy food? Guests."

Poking his head out of the kitchen, Xiang Ling asked tentatively, holding a handful of dried chili peppers in his hand. Seeing this scene, the corners of Hoshino Sora's mouth twitched as he sat down.

"You can eat it, but only a little."

He raised his hand and made a small movement. Hoshino Sora looked slightly bitter. It would kill someone if he ate so many chili peppers. It would definitely kill someone!

"Okay, let's make it a little spicy."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hoshino Sora saw a bit of disappointment in Xiang Ling's eyes. His expression was subtle at the moment, and he didn't know what to say.

Inexplicably, I feel like I'm on a black bus...

"Is this store really reliable? I mean that girl."

"It's hard to tell if you ask me now. I've never tasted her cooking, but since she's the chef of this restaurant, her cooking skills shouldn't be that bad."

"I hope so."

Hoshino Sora was deeply suspicious of this, because he didn't think the other party looked like a chef, but more like a lively little girl next door who liked to have fun and show off his strength than a chef.

"This tastes really good, is it Sichuan food?"

Two or three minutes later, a strong spicy aroma wafted out from the kitchen. Hoshino Sora smelled it and said something speculatively, and then heard a cute sneezing sound coming from inside.

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"The other chef is cooking, and it's a creative dish. Wouldn't it be considered a provocation if I come in?"

"That's right, then just wait..."

She was also lying on the table, not knowing what she was thinking, playing with the panda doll Hoshino Sora caught for her, pinching her cheeks from time to time, because it was really super cute!

But the business here is really bleak. It's obviously dinner time, but there are no customers in this store except them. You must know that this store has been open for at least two years.

Logically speaking, even in a remote location, business should not be so bleak.

Have they all been persuaded to quit?

According to Nakiri Alice's experience, this possibility is extremely high.

"You've been waiting for a long time! You guys are really lucky. This batch of ingredients just arrived in the morning. It's super fresh!"

"Spicy and crispy locusts, our specialty creative side dish, the taste is definitely beyond your imagination!"

As soon as such doubts came to mind, Xiang Ling came out of the kitchen with a large plate of food, but what she brought out made the two people's expressions change in shock.

Especially Nakiri Alice, her pupils were a little shaken. Seeing the spicy and crispy locusts in front of her, her heart was extremely broken, and she even began to regret coming to this restaurant for lunch.

What is this all about? !Although she had heard that locusts could be eaten, that was only at the conceptual level. If she really wanted to eat this, if nothing else, it would be hard to get over it!

"This is the creative dish you mentioned..."

"Yes, the traditional method is to simply fry it and then sprinkle it with flour. I added spiciness to this and then stir-fried it. The taste is definitely better than those that are sprinkled with seasoning powder!"

He picked up a piece of fried golden-red and crispy locust with his chopsticks. Although Hoshino Sora was physically disgusted, his sense of smell told him that this thing was very fragrant and the taste should not be much different.

Closing his eyes, Hoshino Sora decided to taste it, because the rich aroma of the spicy and crispy locusts was constantly seducing the gourmet cells in his body. What was certain was that this was definitely not unpalatable.

"What are you doing? Are you going to eat this..."

Looking at Sora Hoshino who picked up the locusts with his chopsticks, Alice Nakiri had a bit of disbelief in her eyes. Did he really want to eat this ugly insect?

Feel...

"This is a work that someone has worked hard to complete. If I deny it without even tasting it, or even dare not taste it, it really goes against my way of eating!"

Hoshino Sora said righteously, and then with a sudden thought, he put the locusts on the chopsticks into his mouth. The strange smell of the insects he imagined did not appear. Anyway, it was the ultimate spicy and delicious taste.

And the deep-fried and extremely crispy texture!

[Analysis of cuisine]: Spicy fried crispy locusts

[Quality]: Silver (medium)

[Analysis 21%]: The cooking raw materials include rice field locusts, pepper, wattle, cooked sesame...

His gray eyes suddenly brightened up, and Hoshino Sora frantically picked up the locusts on the plate. He was not even satisfied that one chopstick could only pick up one or two, so he grabbed them directly.

Once you accept certain settings, you can never go back!

Hoshino Kong ate crazily. The locusts had thorns on their legs and various nodules on their bodies, but they didn't prick their mouths at all, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Seeing such a crazy Hoshino Sora, Nakiri Alice couldn't help but tremble at the side. She crossed her arms and huddled in the chair. Sometimes she still couldn't accept the situation in her heart.

"I'm here to help you, Momojiji, just eat one of these things and you'll know!"

The ultimate deliciousness, spicy and fragrant aroma is the essence of Sichuan cuisine, and now it is all concentrated in this spicy and crispy locust dish. I have to say that this little girl's cooking skills are indeed good.

No, it should be said that it is very strong!

Such a delicacy should not be dismissed because of its appearance, so Hoshino Sora made a bold move, which was to forcefully stuff Nakiri Alice in regardless of her wishes.

"No...oooo..."

A foreign object was forcibly inserted into her mouth and she made a whining sound. Looking at Alice Nakiri who was drooling and struggling, Hoshino Sora felt inexplicably sour and unconsciously imagined other scenes in her mind.

"Well, it's delicious!"

Once you accept certain settings, you can never go back.

After being fed, Alice Nakiri lost her reserve after chewing a few mouthfuls. She grabbed a lot of the locusts in front of her and ate them. The amazing texture and taste subverted her view of food.

Why, this kind of thing is so delicious!

It's obviously just a dirty bug, but it smells too good. I want to refuse, but I can't stop my hand!

Passionate as fire, spicy and fragrant,

The locusts have a crisp texture and a strange aroma. If she hadn't been told that they were locusts, she would never have thought of them in that way!

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

It wasn't until he finished eating all the locusts on the plate and looked at Alice Nakiri who was licking her fingers that Hoshino Sora said with a smile on his face. He knew that the other party would like this taste.

"How would you treat a girl like that, but thanks to you, I didn't miss this dish."

Nakiri Alice's face turned red. Thinking of Hoshino Sora's rough technique just now, her fingers seemed to have been inserted in, and a lot of her saliva fell on it.

Judging from the situation, Hoshino Sora licked her fingers several times when she was eating locusts. She must have eaten them. It was just a trivial thing at first, but why was she so ashamed?

After noticing this, Alice Nakiri's heart beat wildly, and everything that happened today came to her mind. Why did it feel so like a date?

And it was a very happy date...

"Hehe, I feel so happy to see you eating so happily. I have decided to give you another dish!"

Looking at the dishes being cleared, Xiangling, who had been staying silently next to her, smiled happily. The whole point of her cooking was to see the smiles on the faces of the diners!

"Are you busy? We have a visitor."

An old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit who looked a bit old but strong walked in from outside the house. He first glanced at Sora Hoshino and Alice Nakiri who were sitting in the corner of the shop, then turned to Xiang Ling and said.

"Yes, they are my first and second guests. They seem to be very satisfied with my food."

"Fried locusts? It's the first time you're hosting a customer and you're making something with such a strong taste. I don't know who inherited it."

Moving his nose and smelling the remaining smell in the air, Uojinyu shook his head with a wry smile, and then turned his attention to Nakiri Alice and Hoshino Sora.

"Thank you both for taking care of Xiangling."

Nodding indicatively, Mao Jinyu carried two black fish into the kitchen. When he was about to enter, he paused and turned his head.

"If you don't mind, let's try the old man's craftsmanship."

After saying that, Uojinyu went into the kitchen, leaving Hoshino Sora and Nakiri Alice looking at each other, and even Xiangling had a look of surprise on her face.

"Grandpa, do you want to cook it yourself? Great! I can finally eat grandpa's cooking!"

"Is this old gentleman your grandfather?"

"That's right!"

With an even more satisfied smile on his face than before, their store is very strange. The chef only cooks three times a month, and those who have served him will not serve him a second time.
