In every sense, this birthday party was a success. Xiaoyao, who was the protagonist of the party, was very happy. The store manager and Sayuri, who were the organizers, were also very happy. The guests who participated in the queue and enjoyed the half-price discount were also very happy.
Very happy. But there is still an urgent problem that needs to be solved and cannot be ignored...
The plates, knives and forks used to put the cake on the table, the cups, the confetti scraps on the floor, and some garbage left by the informal guests... Xia Zhi's head was about to split.
The store manager and his family played until it was about to close at eight o'clock in the evening and then went back. Mayumi left in a hurry after tasting the cake. To be honest, Xia Zhi felt that such a strict access control was a bit anti-human, but every family has it.
It was difficult to recite the sutra, so Xia Zhi couldn't say much. So, when it was time to close the shop... Xia Zhi was the only one left in the store.
Oh no, there is also a super rice-making machine, Tachibana Aya.
As the character of Soy Sauce, she was standing at the door, waving goodbye to the young lady who often sat at the counter drinking coffee and also liked to secretly observe the interaction between Natsuki and Tachibana Aya.
“Welcome to come again next time~”
He seems to be much more enthusiastic than Xia Zhi, the official clerk.
Tachibana Aya took a step back, closed the store door, and turned the business sign back to the outside.
"Then..." Tachibana Aya patted the non-existent dust on her hands: "Let's go back?"
"You go back first." Xia Zhi said to Li Huacai without looking back. He was picking up the plates and other tableware one by one in his hand. He counted them a little, and Xia Zhi usually did a lot of things like dry cleaning the plates.
If you want to wash all the dishes, it will take about half an hour, maybe more. Because according to the cleaning requirements of restaurants, Xia Zhi needs to wash them at least twice. Even if practice makes perfect, there is a hard time requirement.
It will not be reduced.
In addition, there are so many other confetti and garbage, it may not be finished in an hour. Instead of letting Tachibana wait here, it is better to let her go back.
"Oh, by the way, we have to clean up." Tachibana Aya also remembered one more thing, then rolled up her sleeves, looking eager to try: "Okay, I'll help too."
"Be honest with me." Xia Zhi was startled by her. If Tachibana Aya, who has basically no housekeeping ability, was asked to help, Xia Zhi was worried that she would become more and more busy, and if she broke a chair, table leg or something,
Xia Zhi was afraid that he was going to cry.
"What? It's rare that I'm so kind and want to help you clean." Tachibana Aya puffed up her mouth and looked quite cute. Xia Zhi ignored her cute expression: "You are so industrious and can't distinguish between grains and grains. I don't care.
I dare you to help."
"Anyway, isn't it a bit too much!?" Tachibana Aya blinked: "I am a prominent figure in the marathon, how can I not be diligent?"
"What's the point..."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Tachibana Aya patted her chest, and a certain part of her body shook very subtly. Xia Zhi's eyes also twitched: "I can still do such a simple thing as cleaning, otherwise I would
Doesn’t it mean that you can’t even do your school duties?”
"...I'll trust you for now." Xia Zhi thought about it for a while and agreed. After all, the workload is a bit heavy if done by one person. Although the store manager wanted to stay and clean up, Xiaoyao was happy.
At that time, Xia Zhi was stunned and drove the store manager back together. Now he can only say that he has brought it upon himself.
Although there is now another Tachibana Aya with unknown cleaning ability, it would be good if the workload can be reduced a little. Just think of it as her labor in exchange for a free dinner every day.
"Okay!" Tachibana Aya finally rolled up her sleeves this time: "Then I helped you clean, how do you want to thank me?"
"I'll buy you a cup of hot water later."
"You are the devil!"
The cleaning work is going on as scheduled.
Xia Zhi stacked the collected plates together and washed them one by one by the sink. Although it is not an oily food, things like butter still need to be cleaned carefully. It is not particularly difficult to wash, but
It will be very troublesome if it cannot be washed cleanly.
Rinse it once with water, then carefully wash it with detergent, and then fold it aside. This is the first time. Use detergent again for the second time, but in a smaller amount. Scrub the plate quickly and rinse it with clean water.
, and then fold them aside. After washing, put them in the disinfection cabinet for disinfection.
The coffee cup, cutlery and other tableware also have the same set of operations, which is not too troublesome, but requires more repeated steps. Natsuki took the time to glance at Tachibana Aya, and almost crushed the quilt.
.
Tachibana Aya was sweeping with a broom, coming and going like the wind, dancing in various postures. It seemed that she was not holding a broom, but some kind of long-pole weapon. If I want to give a more specific example, it would be...
...sweeping monk.
This is not the key. Tachibana Aya's movements are very big, but the sound is very small, so Xia Zhi didn't notice her homemade martial arts moves performed at a relatively slow speed before. Xia Zhi also liked it when she was young.
Play like this, boy, who doesn’t have the dream of being a knight? But I don’t have any smart skills, nor any powerful martial arts masters. I can only pick up a branch casually, and then use it as a handsome figure in my imagination.
He waved the branches slowly, as if he were a real swordsman.
But he found that this was actually quite stupid, and he gave up after continuing for a while. The reason was definitely not because he broke the vase and was beaten by his mother with a branch, absolutely not.
Although it is just a boring past, it is enough to show that what Tachibana Aya does at this moment will pose a huge threat to the life safety of surrounding objects. How can Xia Zhi tolerate this happening?
"Hey!" Xia Zhi said suddenly, and Tachibana Aya was startled. The broom that was spinning in her hand almost flew out of her hands. Xia Zhi felt that her head hurt again. It was about to split.
It hurts.
"Wow, Natsuchi, don't scare me. What if the broom flies out and breaks something?" Tachibana Aya said dissatisfiedly, holding the broom in her hand.
Natsuki almost laughed out loud when he looked at Tachibana Aya who accused him in turn.
"Is this how you usually clean?"
"How is that possible?" Tachibana Aya looked at Xia Zhi with an expression that looked like a fool: "How could I do such a thing in school? Don't I want to lose face?"
"Then why are you playing like this in the store? It's very dangerous, okay?"
"Hey, don't worry about me, my skills are very good."
"Who is so worried about you!? I'm afraid you'll smash everything next to me and have to open tomorrow."
"Aren't you just worried about me?" Tachibana shrugged.
"I..." Xia Zhi raised the coffee cup that he was cleaning and wanted to throw it at Tachibana Aya. Tachibana Aya shrank back with a sound, but Xia Zhi did not throw the cup away after all... This kind of cup
It's quite expensive. Xia Zhi might not be able to buy one even with a few days' salary.
"Natsuchi, you have changed." Aya Tachibana saw that Natsuki didn't throw the cup over, so she returned to her previous appearance: "You were not so irritable before."
Xia Zhi glared at her fiercely: "Who do you think caused this?"
"Either you go back to me, or you work conscientiously and don't make any trouble for me. I don't even know how long it will take before I can go back to rest." Xia Zhi looked up at the time and saw that half an hour had passed: "How about you again?"
Make trouble, you can go eat instant noodles by yourself tomorrow."
Harsh words? This trick is probably useless against a thick-skinned person like Li Huacai.
Threat of force? Natsuki would probably be beaten by Tachibana Aya. He had already had a real experience with her force value before.
Can you give me some advice? Anyway, Tachibana Ayai will definitely not listen to it, and maybe he will be selective and push his limits to the point of failure.
If you have already used qwe, then you can only use your ultimate move.
"Wow... no. I don't want to eat instant noodles." Tachibana Aya immediately put on an expression that was about to cry. If Xia Zhi hadn't seen her change of expression with his own eyes, he would have almost believed it.
"If you don't want to eat instant noodles, don't make trouble for me." Xia Zhi glared at her.
Regardless of whether Tachibana Aya is faking it or not, she has softened up now. It doesn't matter if you don't help. If you don't help and it adds to the chaos, then your dinner will be wasted.
At the same time, Xia Zhi was also a little lucky. At least he still had a skill that could restrain Tachibana Aya, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything to her even if this person was so skinny.
Tachibana Aya said oh, and then swept the floor honestly.
Looking at Tachibana Aya who finally calmed down, Xia Zhi lowered his head and started cleaning the cup again. Although he was still worried, he still had work to do. As for Tachibana Aya... If there is any small problem, go to
It will be up to him to solve these small problems when the time comes. If there is a big problem... then Xia Zhi doesn't mind killing people.
If you can't fight with your bare hands, why can't you use tools? What's the biggest difference between humans and animals?
It’s not a gap in thinking, because many domestic pets nowadays, such as cats and dogs, are not much different from humans, and they are almost becoming sperm.
It's not a difference in strength. No matter how strong you are, you can't kill a bear with one punch. It's not a cross-era drama.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is tools!
It’s a fact that you can’t beat Tachibana Aya with your bare hands. But you can use a forty-meter-long sword! You can even make her run thirty-nine meters first - and then she will kick her to the ground.
.
Humph, the worst case scenario is to poison it. Anyway, you come to my place for dinner every day. If you just put some tachibana paint in it, it will definitely be gone.
Well, so Tachibana Aya actually can't beat herself.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi felt much happier. At the same time, Tachibana Aya, who was looking down at the ground with lowered eyebrows, became much more pleasing to the eye. Until...
"Xia Zhi, I'm hungry."
hiss……
Sure enough, it’s better to kill her. Xia Zhi thought to himself.
