"Tachibana-senpai, please go over there and play with Xiaoxi, and don't interfere with my work."
"Uuuuuuuuah, I'm disgusted by Mayumi-chan."
Tachibana Aya pretended to cry.
"If you make trouble again, I will throw you out." Xia Zhi extended a helping hand to his colleague.
Aya Tachibana made a face at Natsuki, and then walked to the corner where she usually stayed, holding Xiaoxi in her arms. Mayumi glanced at her helplessly, then turned to look at Natsuki.
"Can't you think of a way?"
"What can I do?"
"Let Tachibana-senpai, um... a more normal approach."
"How could I possibly know this method? Rather, she has been like this since I met her. How do I know what she looks like when she is normal?" Xia Zhi curled her lips.
So you are the source of the evil! I am so angry. But there is nothing I can do.
Mayumi felt like she was going crazy.
"Aren't you Tachibana-senpai's boyfriend? Let her be more honest. If she interferes for a while longer, I won't be able to complete my work."
Xia Zhi was very glad that he wasn't drinking coffee or anything else, otherwise he would probably spit it out.
"What kind of girlfriend? Don't talk nonsense."
"You are the only one who has a ghost. I have never seen Tachibana-senpai listen to someone so much."
Xia Zhi was shocked for the second time.
"You call that obedient?"
When did the cultural differences between China and Japan get to this point? Their definition of obedience is a little too loose. But looking at Mayumi staring at him like a little tiger, it doesn't feel like she is lying... But
He still didn't feel that Tachibana Aya was obedient. There must be something wrong with this world.
Mayumi snorted and decided not to talk to this person who was so good at taking advantage of him. He had to finish the work first, and he had to clearly distinguish priorities when doing things. Although he was not bad, his personality was too bad.
Xia Zhi feels that he should soon adapt to their way of thinking, but now he feels that he still doesn't understand enough. For example, he can't quite understand why he and Tachibana Aya are regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend.
At school, Shiraishi Rika can still figure it out for the time being. After all, the three of us have been eating together at noon every day since who knows when, and we don’t know why the classmates at the front and back tables always say very considerately, "I want it."
I’m going to have dinner with others, I’ll let you use this seat for now.” Then go to other places to eat with others, or simply eat alone on a bench outside.
Did you agree to go have dinner with someone else? Did you get pigeonholed?
This is too true.
Even so, there is still some logical connection. What now? I think the festoons are too much of a hindrance to let her go. Can they be regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend? Wow. Xia Zhi really wants to pry the heads of these island girls.
Let's open it and see what structure it is inside and why it is different from ordinary people's.
Get all these things out of your mind. If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it yet. After all, there are many things in the world that cannot be figured out just by imagination, just like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
, what can you imagine by just relying on your imagination? You might as well go to Baidu, maybe some senior experts will come out with a bunch of personal and material evidence to argue with you.
The cleaning work is as simple and fast as ever, and Mayumi, who is much more efficient than Xia Zhi, can also clean faster. To be honest, Xia Zhi feels that if the competition for his job becomes more intense, he will lose his job.
The outstanding people in this world are really better than the last, and Xia Zhi, who is probably only at the bottom, is extremely lucky that he is first come, first served.
Although his gratitude had already been completely wiped out by the store manager's actions, when he first arrived, he was very lucky to be able to work in such a relaxed environment. Although the workload was also due to the store manager's
The leader's unreliable behavior has become up and down, but it's okay without the traditional feeling of superior and subordinate.
Even though this will be overwhelmingly disadvantageous for me when I treat my superiors in the same company in the future, it is a little too early to consider it now. In what kind of environment you work, you should have the corresponding spirit.
As a person who works in a company, you can't possibly dress like an artist who engages in performance art, right? What's more, there are many things in the so-called art that ordinary people can't understand, and they basically don't know how to express them without explanation.
I only know "Ah, this painting looks really funny", "This painting is quite realistic", "Is this the world-famous painting? I can't see what's good about it..." etc. Of course.
, there are also some players who may not understand the connotation of the work even if you explain it for a while, Xia Zhi is one of them.
The understanding of beauty is too rough, but it feels okay.
Ah, before I knew it, it was time to open the store...
Xia Zhi was originally going to walk to the front of the store and turn the sign to the [open] side, but Mayumi who was passing by had already done it for her. It felt like...a little secretly refreshing? This kind of watching others work, and then being so open and lazy.
What a feeling. Is it so exciting to be a store manager?
Xia Zhi suddenly discovered the reason why the store manager was often lazy and did not work.
But I'm not the store manager, so this is just an experience card. I'm a little angry.
Two hours of work was not a long time, and it passed without realizing it. Mayumi changed her clothes and bid farewell to Natsuki, who also started to prepare dinner. As I said before, the dishes do not only depend on the chef.
What can be done depends on the type and quantity of ingredients. Unfortunately, today I only have some carrots and curry powder.
Xia Zhi looked at the empty refrigerator and didn't know what to say.
"Xia Zhi, what are you going to eat later?"
Xia Zhi turned around and looked at her.
“Quick Curry.”
"Eh...I don't want to eat that..."
"You can't help it if you don't want to eat it. This is the only thing in the refrigerator. How about a carrot?"
"……never mind."
Tachibana Aya lay down on the counter as if she had exhausted all her energy. Xiaoxi lay on her knees, wagging her tail.
"Xia Zhi, add another cup of coffee!"
"Hold on."
Xia Zhi closed the refrigerator door and went to make coffee.
Do you want to eat instant noodles? Forget it, why not eat instant curry... Tachibana Aya rejected her ideas one after another. She hates instant food very much. If you ask the reason... it's probably because of what she ate before.
There are really too many. After all, he is a contestant with no cooking progress bar.
"What are you doing?"
Natsuki, who came back from delivering the meal, looked at the listless Tachibana Aya and said.
"It's nothing, I just came here specially to eat the instant curry and I was a little unhappy."
"Do people generally feel dissatisfied when eating for free?"
You might as well order some facial expressions.
"Isn't instant curry pretty good? At least I like it."
“Would you still think so if you ate instant curry for over a year?”
"Although I won't, I'm still shocked that you've been eating instant curry for a year." Xia Zhi glanced at her: "Can't you learn how to cook by yourself?"
"Although I have tried it before, I found it very troublesome. I gave up after learning it for a few days. It is not very interesting."
"The most important thing is that it's not interesting to you, right?"
Xia Zhi heard her true meaning at one glance...but as far as Xia Zhi was concerned, cooking was actually quite interesting, and the key was that it could save money. When fun and saving money were combined, it was already very interesting.
It's worth learning by yourself.
"That kind of thing is fine no matter what..."
"Instant noodles or instant curry, which one should you choose?"
“…instant curry.”
"You are too real."
Xia Zhi didn't even know what to say to her. After thinking about it, he decided to use the ultimate trick.
"I'll process it with other ingredients later."
Tachibana Aya's expression suddenly turned into a smile. Natsuchi knew that he was being plotted again. He glared at Tachibana Aya, but Tachibana Aya's thick-skinned face could not be shaken by just one Natsuchi. A tree doesn't need bark.
There is no doubt that he will die. A shameless person can be invincible in the world.
"Well, do it quickly, I'm a little hungry."
"I owe you something from my previous life."
Xia Zhi sighed.
"Hehe, then we are really destined. You owed me something in your previous life, and I will be waiting for you to pay me back in this life."
"...In China, that sentence doesn't mean this."
Xia Zhi pouted. He walked into the counter and started to make preparations. Fortunately, except for the carrots that were left, there were enough seasonings. Anyway, whatever they were mixed together and cooked.
Following the principle of eating, Xia Zhi cut the carrots into pieces, and then seasoned the curry according to the amount in his mind.
It took a total of more than 20 minutes, and Xia Zhi's fine-tuned instant curry was completed. Regardless of the taste, at least the large pieces of carrots in the curry made it look less monotonous than instant curry.
.As for the taste, to be honest, Xia Zhi has never tried to do this. Although he has made curry before because of interest, he did it all by himself from raw materials to seasoning, and in the end, it was barely successful.
, but the taste is not that satisfying.
The ratio of time-consuming consumables to results was so miserable that Xia Zhi once gave up the idea of making curry by himself, but if someone wanted to do it, he would still take a look, and if it was the store manager who wanted to do it, he would also stop him. So there are many
It can be considered a bit of experience. As for making instant food unprocessed like now... this is the first time I eat dumplings on the first day of the new year.
Therefore, Xia Zhi is not sure about the taste. I am quite looking forward to seeing the Tachibana Paintings...
"Give."
Natsuki handed the plate with curry and rice to Tachibana Aya. There was nothing special about the expression on his face. He looked calm, just like before.
"I'm starting." Tachibana Aya muttered softly, then took a spoonful and ate it. Judging from Tachibana Aya's careful taste, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it?
"Although it's still instant curry...but it's much better than what I had before. It's amazing."
Tachibana Aya's expression seemed quite normal. Natsuki also started eating with hesitation.
...Well, except for being a bit spicy, it’s actually okay.
That's it... As for letting Tachibana Aya try it, just pretend it never happened. She doesn't know about it anyway.
