Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 75 Sushi with sticky rice crackers
Chen Yan suspects that Ogami is a superhuman.

There is no evidence, just a strong hunch.

Can a normal person learn an Asian language in two days and make jokes in Imperial?
In any case it is impossible.

When Chen Yan sat down at the dining table, the thought of continuing to think disappeared.

Instead, there is a desperate craving for the food in front of you.

Glutinous rice is made of sushi.

A kind of cold food that people in Ying country often eat.

Chen Yan had seen people from Sakura country eating this kind of food on a cruise ship before. The sushi made with the freshest ingredients is often much better looking than the traditional food of other ethnic groups.

The same goes for the sushi on the chopping board in front of you:

Sticky rice and egg yolk wrapped in lettuce-like green vegetable leaves, and covered with a ketchup-like jam.

Under the dim kerosene lamp and the moonlight, the sushi rolls looked lovely.

Cute and very delicious looking.

Chen Yan couldn't hold it back, restrained his hunger, imitated the people from Ying Country who had seen him before, said "I'm starting" before eating, then picked up a roll of sushi the size of half a palm, and stuffed it into his mouth .

He chewed twice violently.

what……

Chen Yan's eyes were dull.

This smell... seems not quite right...

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ogami.

Ohgami also swallowed a roll of sushi in one gulp, with a slightly distorted expression on his face.

Nuomi Guo put his hands on his chest, seeing the expressions of the two, his eyes suddenly became very nervous, and asked in an uneasy tone:

"What's the matter... isn't it delicious? I... It's my first time... If I don't do it well, please forgive me..."

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, until by the time she had finished, the pitch of the last word had faded away.

Chen Yan only thought for a moment, then chewed twice, and swallowed the half chewed sushi all at once.

"It's delicious!"

Chen Yan showed a surprised expression.

Ohgami looked at his expression and was stunned.

But due to being too tired, his surprise was more of a dull expression on his face.

When Chen Yan's second roll of sushi had already entered his mouth, Ogami reacted, chewed twice hastily, and swallowed the first roll of sushi.

"Very...delicious!"

The expression on Ohgami's face was even more distorted, he obviously didn't know how to control his expression.

Surprised expressions continued on Chen Yan's face, and the second roll of sushi had already been swallowed.

The cold, blood-smelling cod meat mixed with raw lettuce leaves made his stomach cramp.

But he restrained this feeling very well, and stretched out his hand, giving the glutinous rice fruit a thumbs up.

"It's great! Is it really the first time for glutinous rice to make this kind of food?"

Nuomi Guo was delighted by his praise, and his little face couldn't stop showing a happy expression.

Ou Gami looked at the surprised expression on Chen Yan's face, and then at the happy expression on Nuomi Guo's face. He couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and the sushi almost fell out of his mouth.

He probably understood what Chen Yan meant, but he didn't know whether it was correct, and he couldn't make a decision for a while, so he could only eat the sushi with a "satisfied" attitude like Chen Yan did.

Seeing Ogami trying hard to eat sushi, Nuomi Guo even showed a hint of surprise.

But due to lack of self-confidence, Nuomi Guo's tone is still uneasy.

"Is it really delicious?"

Chen Yan nodded vigorously, the fourth roll of sushi has already been eaten.

Glutinous rice fruit looked at Ogami.

Ohgami's hand holding the third roll of sushi was already shaking.

The cold cod meat was fermenting in his stomach, and the smell of tomato sauce came out of his nose. It was an indescribably horrible smell.

As a samurai, it wasn't that he hadn't eaten raw.

But the sushi in front of him still made him feel for the first time in his life that raw cod meat mixed with jam and lettuce could be so unpalatable.

But there were still six rolls of sushi in front of him—considering the appetite of Ogami and Chen Yan, Nuomi Guo made sushi that was as big as a large chopping board.

Ohgami looked at the six rolls of sushi in front of him, and even recalled in his head the fear he felt when he faced a certain horror many years ago. It was a night of thunder, and the reed flowers in Weiming City were still blooming. In the reeds, he met To the most terrible enemy in this life...

Suddenly, a small, almost inaudible voice interrupted his memory.

"Don't let a little girl down..."

Ogami was chewing on the sushi, turned his head, and saw the corner of Chen Yan's mouth twitching slightly towards him.

Ohgami couldn't hold back for a while.

Landlord, do you even know ventriloquist!
"Can't let a child down... look at her hands... she even got hurt making this meal..."

Chen Yan can control the sound to be very small. Such a small sound is not worth mentioning in the sound of Ogami chewing and smacking his lips.

The latter was obviously moved by Chen Yan's persuasion, he picked up the leftover sushi as if death was at home, and began to chew vigorously.

Nuomi Guo was so happy that he even took out a small notebook and wrote down the sushi "recipe" with a steel note found in the hall.

Ohgami was heartbroken.

Many years later, when he was on his way back to the east, Ogami could still clearly remember the first dinner made by glutinous rice fruit after he came to the empire.

……

After dinner, Chen Yan endured the cramps in his stomach and asked an important question.

"By the way, Ogami, are you ready to look for a job?"

Speaking of this topic, Nuomi Guo immediately straightened up and waited seriously for the conversation between the two.

Ogami was visibly taken aback.

"Work……"

He has a lot of gold bars, but those gold bars cannot be exchanged for the money of the empire.

It's not that he didn't try to find an underground bank, but just this morning, he was robbed in an underground bank in the lower city.

As a last resort, he chopped off several heads.

That's not what he likes to do—killing, not what he likes to do.

Perhaps... Finding a less busy job and earning some common currency of the empire is something that can be considered?
"Want to hear about it," said Ogami.

Chen Yan nodded, subconsciously covering his stomach with his hands.

"Life in the empire is not easy, but as long as you work, you can get the guarantee of survival.

The last thing we Asians are afraid of is suffering, isn't it? "

Ohgami also covered his stomach with one hand: "What work can I do?"

Chen Yan replied: "Now that you have learned the Imperial language, you can apply for some high-paying jobs.

Those rich people in the center of Yanan are short of skilled warriors as bodyguards, I think you will be able to do it. "

A dazed expression appeared on Ohgami's face: "When I went out this time, it seemed that I did see the revelation of recruiting warriors outside."

He frowned: "It seems to be some kind of bodyguard company... the salary is 8 pence a day?"

Chen Yan was shocked: "Being a bodyguard is very dangerous! How can you do it with 8pence a day? What's more, you still have to give Nuomi Guo money to go to school!"

Next, he gave Ohgami a detailed account of what kind of treatment a serious job in the empire would have.
