Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 9 Mapo Tofu is a good thing...

The store manager, who had just turned off the TV and was about to go back to his room, suddenly found his phone lighting up.Who is this late at night?

He picked up his phone and saw a message from a coffee shop group chat. He clicked on it and saw that it was Xia Zhi, a Chinese international student working in the shop.Do all Chinese international students stay up so late?

The content of the message is: [Store manager, please bring me a bunch of canned beer tomorrow, and the money will be deducted from my salary. 】

Although he was a pervert, the store manager, who could be considered a responsible person, replied as a matter of course.

[Why are you not sleeping so late?No class tomorrow?What do you want beer for? 】

Ten seconds later, a message with Xia Zhi's personal characteristics was sent.

"It's still early. Going to bed at two in the morning and starting at six o'clock will not affect our Chinese high school students' classes... High school life in China is really hard. And... of course beer is for drinking... huh?"

[You, drink beer?Are you an adult? 】

[How is that possible? I’m only 17 years old. 】

The store manager couldn't keep up with Xia Zhi's thinking.

【How can you drink at the age of 17?You are a minor.No one will sell you alcohol, okay? 】

【It's because they won't sell it to me that I came to you to buy it for me. 】

Xia Zhi, as a minor, cannot buy alcohol.I, as an adult, can buy alcohol.So, I bought wine for Xia Zhi.

What a joke!

[Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol in Japan. 】

[I am a Chinese international student. 】

What’s the point? ?
[You are like a god descending to earth, and you are not allowed to drink in Japan if you are under age! 】

[Oops, why is the photo of someone leaving Xiaoyao alone in a coffee shop to attend Miss Lammy's concert still in my phone?Why is the recipient of the message the store manager’s wife? 】

【stop!Have something to say! 】

If that thing was sent to my wife's phone, I would probably have to sleep on the couch for at least a month!

The store manager shuddered.

[Whether this photo will be sent to other places depends on your sincerity tomorrow. 】

【I am the store manager! 】

Xia Zhi didn't type, and sent a picture.Above is a scene of Xiaoyao writing homework alone on the table in a coffee shop, and the store manager sneaking away from the main entrance.

【I was wrong, please forgive me! 】

Is this person a devil?It's a devil, right?
[By the way, Xia Zhijun, why do you suddenly want to drink beer?can you drink it? 】

[You, the kind of person who fell unconscious after two glasses of sake, should stop trying to figure out how much Chinese people drink. 】

Although I heard that China’s management of tobacco and alcohol is not that strict, but drinking at the age of fifteen or sixteen is too much, right?

He didn't know that there were rural children who grew up drinking rice wine...

[Do you want cigarettes? 】

[No, don't drink alcohol or smoke.Smoking is only harmful to the body. Store manager, you should smoke less. 】

This kid still cares about people.The store manager smiled.

[If you smoke too much, your lungs will turn black and there will be no hope.You shouldn't be far away from this state, right? 】

The store manager's smile was clouded.

【I want you to take care of it!I smoke electronic cigarettes!e-cigarette! 】

[I have never drunk Japanese beer, please help me buy it.Just taste good. 】

【Tsk.Just buy it for you, you are such a difficult kid. 】

[Okay, good night, store manager. 】

Am I finally going to commit a crime under the pressure of dark forces?No, in the final analysis it is China’s fault for its lax control over tobacco and alcohol.Well, I did something wrong, I was forced to do it, it had nothing to do with me.

The store manager hypnotized himself while walking towards the dormitory.

As for Xia Zhi, there was really nothing to do and he felt like going to bed early.However, what is different from usual is that there is another person in this group who is watching without saying a word... Xia Zhi must have forgotten that there are two people working in the coffee shop now.

The simple-minded Mayumi didn't care that she was ignored by the store manager and her seniors. Her attention had been attracted by another thing - Natsuki-senpai actually drank!
In the opinion of almost all Japanese, underage drinking is a very serious problem. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a crime, but it is a crime in Japan.However, the store manager and his seniors at the place where he worked were discussing secretly doing illegal things late at night.As the daughter of a police chief, what should I do?

Report this illegal transaction to his father?Let’s not talk about whether his father will care about such a trivial matter. If his father asks her where she got the news, Mayumi doesn’t think she can lie in front of the police chief’s father, so this online chat group must be It will be exposed, and then the matter of working in the coffee shop will definitely be exposed, and then the plan will fail!

It seemed that she could only rely on herself, so Mayumi made up her mind.When you go to the coffee shop tomorrow, you must stop Xia Zhi-senpai. As the daughter of the police chief, we cannot let him go into the abyss of crime.And the store manager, how can he bow to the evil forces?We must have a good talk about the two of them.

So, Mayumi thought about the plan to stop Senior Xia Zhi in her heart, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

Chiba is a quiet city, even today.

The clock is ticking. There is no superpower or magic in this world, and there is no savior who can stop the world for nine seconds with just a shout. The passage of time is as usual, slow and rapid.When you care about him, it seems like seconds pass by, but when you focus on something else, it seems like years pass by.

Xia Zhi truly felt the rules of this world.He reached out to turn off the alarm clock on his mobile phone and reluctantly opened his eyes. The room was still dim.But this is just the credit of the curtains. Outside the window behind the curtains, there is already...

Oh no, Xia Zhi got up early, and the sky should have just dawned, so it seems a bit wrong to say that it was already early.The wording must be accurate, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. He has seen too many pitiful, lonely and pitiable adolescent boys who think that the girl has a crush on him after being flirted with for just a few words. .Oh, and some girls.

A girl is talked to by a girl and starts to think about it. Just thinking about it makes her whole life become more meaningful. If she saw a boy talking to a boy and thinking about it, Xia Zhi felt that he would gouge his own eyes, and then Bleed to death.

When beautiful things are mixed with beautiful things, it is pleasing to the eye. When ugly things are mixed with ugly things, they are not negative or negative. The world is really wonderful.

Xia Zhi quickly changed her clothes, brushed her teeth for three minutes, washed her face for two minutes, and then started cooking.

Breakfast is easy to solve. A big piece of cheese bread is packed in a bag. I tear it into three pieces and touch the butter. It is soft and sweet. It is a perfect breakfast.

After drinking two large gulps of juice, Xia Zhi began to prepare for lunch.

First of all, rice, which is the staple food, has already been heated when making breakfast, so all that needs to be prepared is the vegetables.But what to do?Xia Zhi recalled what he wanted to do yesterday, and started to prepare quickly.

Mapo tofu is a good thing...

However, in China, whether due to regional preferences or some other reason, the taste of Mapo Tofu is roughly divided into two sides. One side has a spicy flavor that matches the color of Mapo Tofu, and the other is the original spicy flavor.Many people who don't like hemp food will choose to slightly modify it to make it spicy when making Mapo Tofu, but the original taste is indeed that of hemp.

Of course, this does not mean that any one of them is bad. It is normal for everyone to have their own preferences.

And what Xia Zhi's mother's chef friend taught Xia Zhi was naturally the origin of Ma - Po Tofu. Compared with the spicy version, there are only some subtle differences except for the ingredients.

First cut the tofu into pieces, then heat it in water, take it out and put it in clean water, cook the base and add the ingredients...

After 25 minutes, fresh mapo tofu will be out of the oven!Xia Zhi took a bite and nodded with satisfaction.

"Above the normal level. Sure enough, this kind of simple, easy-to-make and delicious dish is the supreme treasure of mankind."

Like looking up at the stars, the fish head cake with chopped pepper is simply a work of art made for people to see rather than food.However, even if it’s just once, I kind of want to eat it...

Shaking his head, Xia Zhi put Mapo Tofu in the lunch box and placed it on the bottom.Xia Zhi's lunch box is a three-tiered lunch box. The bottom can hold the main dish with soup, the middle layer can hold some side dishes, and the top can hold about an ordinary-sized bowl and a bowl and a half of rice. The price is affordable. The quality is good, and it's much more cost-effective than those instant noodle bowls with a white base, blue lines, and a TV on the lid that may shake at any time, sold on some websites.

Sizhai steamed oyster slices.

There is another dish, Xia Zhi decided to make a stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers. This can be said to be a very basic meat dish. Basically every household can make it as long as they cook it. As for the quality of it, this topic will be discussed next time. Say it again.

Putting the green pepper on the chopping board, Xia Zhi's eyes flashed coldly. He raised the kitchen knife and cut the green pepper in half with a swipe.Then, Xia Zhi regretted it.

"...I suddenly forgot that the green peppers for shredded green pepper pork must be cut into shreds, not cubes..."

Fortunately, the green peppers were barely long enough. Xia Zhi arranged the green peppers that had been broken into two pieces and slowly cut them into shreds one by one.As for meat, there is no such thing as a wet market in Chiba. You can basically only buy it in supermarkets. The meat you buy is a large piece of flat meat, which is very convenient to handle.

In China, I think most families should have a bone-chopping knife... and a particularly thick chopping board...

After a few clicks, Xia Zhi had the materials ready.Although minors are not allowed to buy wine, there is no problem with cooking wine as a seasoning.Although there is no similarity between the two except for the word "wine".

Cut the lean pork into shreds, cut the fatty pork into shreds, put them into a bowl, then add the things and mix well, put them in the bowl to marinate, cut into shredded green peppers, shredded onions, shredded ginger, then put the onions and ginger into the oil pan and stir-fry. Then add the fat shredded pork first, stir-fry, then add the lean pork shredded, do it again, and then add everything that needs to be added. When it's almost done, throw in the green pepper, add the seasonings, turn off the heat and put it on a plate.

Fragrant.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the glow or drug in the animation, Xia Zhi is still quite satisfied.

It’s cheaper than going to a restaurant, right?
