When Natsuki and Shiraishi Rika walked to the mall together, Yamamoto Ryoko and a group of people were talking "happily" around Tachibana Aya in front of the mall entrance. At least the atmosphere seemed quite happy. But I knew what she wanted.
Xia Zhi, who is doing something, will not be fooled by superficial imagination like someone else.
"Hey! This way, this way!"
Ryoko Yamamoto noticed Natsuki and Rika Shiraishi and waved hello. The two walked over.
"You guys are so slow." Yamamoto Ryoko complained.
Xia Zhi had nothing to express except a chuckle, but Shiraishi Lihua talked to her honestly.
"You were walking too fast."
"Hmph! What's wrong with girls being anxious to go shopping?" Ryoko Yamamoto looked at Xia Zhi and stretched out her hand: "Bring it here."
Of course Xia Zhi knew what she was talking about, so he took out the discount coupons he had just divided from his pocket and handed them to her.
"Most of them are here, it should be enough."
"That's enough, that's enough. I won't be able to use them all anyway. Take two more." Yamamoto Ryoko stuffed two more discount coupons into Xia Zhi's hands: "Take them for later use."
"What's a good backup for this?"
"No matter what, let's go first!" Ryoko Yamamoto ran away quickly, and then drove away her flock like a shepherd. Tachibana Aya was obviously a member of the flock and couldn't leave.
After knowing what Ryoko Yamamoto wanted to do, Natsuki felt that it didn't matter. It was just a purchase anyway, so how much could happen. Rika Shiraishi also understood what Ryoko Yamamoto wanted to do. When this matter was no longer a secret
I don't care that much anymore.
"Then let's go. Although there aren't many things to buy, I'm not familiar with this mall... Where is Xia Zhijun?"
"I've only been here three or four times, and they only bought some ingredients." Xia Zhi glanced at the list in Shiraishi Lihua's hand: "I should have told Ryoko just now to let us buy ingredients. They
I don’t know how many people in that circle know how to cook, but Ryoko and Tachibana definitely can’t..."
"It seems so..." Shiraishi Rika thought for a while: "Although I have told Ryoko before about what ingredients to buy, I don't think she can remember what she said."
"Then you still let her buy it..."
"Ryoko strongly requested it, but I can't convince her..."
That's probably true. If Shiraishi Rika isn't strong, she won't have much of a deterrent effect.
"Anyway, give her a call or send her a message first, so that they don't rush to buy ingredients."
Shiraishi Lihua nodded, lowered her head and fiddled with her phone.
The two of them wandered around the mall, and it took a while before Shiraishi Rika said, "Ryoko didn't reply to me."
"I guessed it. Let's leave it like this for now. Anyway, I think if it's you, you can probably make pretty good food as long as it's edible. You won't lose money at all." Xia Zhi looked around and didn't find that he needed to buy anything.
Something: "Go and look over there, there's nothing here."
"Um."
Although he has been here several times, Xia Zhi has not visited the entire mall. The most common place to buy daily necessities and ingredients is the convenience store near his home, because almost all the things he needs are considered
With everything available, Xia Zhi had no reason to abandon the convenience store that was a minute or two away from the apartment and choose a shopping mall that was several times further away.
The first few times I came here, I just bought some ingredients or other things. As for the durable things, such as cups and plates, the store manager came to buy them himself, or had them specially made.
These items are made in bulk in the store according to your own requirements.
This is the first time that I have come here to personally select something like this.
And there is another issue to consider. The school festival is just an event that lasts only about three days a year. There are factors similar to social practice in it, but there is another thing that cannot be ignored. The school will give everyone
A class or club that holds activities independently provides a small budget. How to make reasonable use of these budgets or seek financial support beyond the budget is a key point. Another key point is the recycling of props.
If it is a coffee shop that has been open for a long time, quilts and the like will not be wasted, but this is just an event for the school festival... Generally speaking, these temporarily unnecessary things will become souvenirs and be shared, or
It will be recycled centrally and converted into class fees, but the amount will definitely not be too much.
Controlling this amount means being able to control the expenditure for this school festival. As for the income...that depends on the ability on the other hand.
Although there is rarely such a thing in novels or anime, it is indeed an issue that needs to be considered during the school festival. But Natsuki feels that she is very lucky. There is a wall hanging like Shiraishi Rika in the class, so she should
She can control the required items and quantity, and it doesn't matter if she buys too much. Her cooking skills alone can completely offset this expense, and even make an unexpected amount of money...
The school festival is really a relaxing event.
Xia Zhi doesn't have to worry about the school festival at all, as long as he does what he should do.
When Rika Shiraishi and she were walking in the mall, passing by the food section, Rika Shiraishi looked around curiously: "There are a lot of things, and they seem to be very cheap."
"Yeah..." Xia Zhi felt that he should be able to buy some and make breakfast or lunch for himself. But don't rush, just buy everything you should buy and then come back to buy it.
Somewhat surprisingly, Shiraishi Rika seems to be quite interested in this place.
"What's wrong, did you see what you wanted?"
"Ah, no. I just think it's very lively here or something."
"After all, it's a place that sells ingredients. It's normal for it to be lively, right?"
"Really? Our ingredients are all bought by Ms. Qiandao. I only buy ready-made ones from convenience stores when I want to make snacks."
…
Xia Zhi felt that it was better not to comment casually.
Being able to eat delicious food, Xia Zhi felt that it didn't matter.
After wandering around for a while, Xia Zhi discovered a problem. The layout of this shopping mall is a bit strange. You can see the ingredients at the first glance when you walk in from the main entrance. This is probably the place with the most people. Xia Zhi has only been here.
Xia Zhi randomly chose a direction and continued walking, changing from the food area to the snack area along the way. Although someone may be very interested in this place, neither Xia Zhi nor Shiraishi Rika particularly like snacks, and Xia Zhi is not interested in this place.
No interest.
This place is connected to the food section. Although it is not enough for snacks and food to be placed on the same shelf, it is actually almost there. The strange thing is that Xia Zhi did not find the fruit section that should have been placed next to the food section.
.Although no one has clearly stipulated that fruits should be near ingredients, but...Xia Zhidu has become accustomed to it.
"Xia Zhijun, we've come to the end here, and we didn't see anything like paper cups." Shiraishi Lihua looked over doubtfully: "Is it on the other side?"
"I don't know, I rarely come here. Let's go and take a look first."
The structure of the shopping mall is not circular, but straight. After walking from one side to the end, you have to go up or down the stairs, or you can only turn back. It is simply a divine design.
Xia Zhi immediately decided to turn around with Shiraishi Rika to have a look. The moment Xia Zhi turned his head, he saw a few familiar shadows passing by. It couldn't be said to be passing by in a flash, just like in the Ubisoft engine.
Assassins can also choose to escape into the crowd and then lose sight of everything.
Xia Zhi didn't even need to look carefully, he knew there must be something wrong ahead. After all, this is not a game or a movie. In reality, there are so many extras who treat strange things as if they have never happened. Just when Xia Zhi saw it,
Near the direction, there was a young mother who was buying snacks with her child. She was looking behind a container that Xia Zhi couldn't see. If there was no one behind this container, Xia Zhi would dare to stand upside down... Forget it, be civilized.
.
Knowing that there was someone there, Xia Zhi guessed that it might be the girls from Yamamoto Ryoko. It just so happened that he could go over and change the things he was responsible for buying.
However, when Xia Zhi walked over with Shiraishi Rika, Xia Zhi did not find anyone there. The mother and daughter she just saw were also looking at other products next to the shelves.
No one?
Not bad, Xia Zhi was glad that he didn't finish his sentence just now.
"I thought I saw Ryoko just now, where are you?"
Xia Zhi looked back at her: "Have you seen her?"
"Yes." Shiraishi Lihua nodded, and then looked around again: "But where did they go?"
Xia Zhi didn't see them either, but he knew someone did.
Xia Zhi walked towards the mother and daughter who were buying snacks nearby.
"Hello, can you excuse me for a moment?"
"What's wrong?"
"I want to ask, did you just see the girls wearing the same school uniform as us? Their mobile phones can't get through, we are looking for them."
"I saw it, I just left." Then she pointed to Xia Zhi in a direction that was roughly crowded with people. Over there was an area selling clothes. When Ryoko Yamamoto and the others ran in, they would be like ice cubes melting in.
It's the same as in the sea. If they don't come out on their own, Xia Zhi probably won't be able to find them.
"How to find this?"
Although he knew that they were probably following them and wanted to do something, Xia Zhi felt that he did not have the ability to find them out - instead of spending that time looking for someone, it would be better to go buy things quickly and end it early so that they could
Run out on your own.
"How about we go shopping first?"
"That's all it can do."
The two of them continued walking forward, but after taking only two steps, Xia Zhi stopped again.
It has to be said that high school students in this country are simply the weirdest among weirdos. Although he has tried his best to hide himself, and even learned the skills of the detectives in anime to disguise themselves, but...
This was the first time that Xia Zhi saw someone covering himself with potato chips as if they were newspapers. It was really hard for him to read the potato chip bag like a newspaper. Not to mention that he was wearing the uniform of the same school that Xia Zhi was very familiar with.
If Xia Zhi could still ignore this, then Xia Zhi might as well just go play StarCraft.
The first time he saw him, Xia Zhi thought he was one of the girls who came with him. Fortunately, he was far enough away, and Xia Zhi noticed that the other person was not wearing a skirt. He noticed that Xia Zhi here
After observing it carefully again, I still found the relatively obvious features of the other party.
Isn't this Qingfeng? But aren't they going to the game arcade to play?
Xia Zhi was hesitating whether to go forward and talk to him, but just by standing not far away and looking at him, Xia Zhi could vaguely feel his efforts... Should he expose him or not? Xia Zhi felt that he couldn't decide.
.
"Xia Zhijun."
Xia Zhi felt his sleeve being pulled, and turned his head to look at Shiraishi Lihua.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay, let's go."
Maybe she didn't see Qingfeng who was reading potato chips like a newspaper not far away, so she'd better not go over and expose him, it would be embarrassing.
Pulled by Shiraishi Rika, Natsuki walked in the other direction and glanced around for a moment. He had become sensitive to this school uniform just now because of the presence of Ryoko Yamamoto, Qingfeng and others. At this glance, good guy...
...There are three others nearby, and the only ones Xia Zhi can clearly recognize are Qingfeng and Tiantong.
How many people are here? Xia Zhi is too lazy to care.
Just pretend it doesn't exist.
Ignoring Xia Zhi who was being pulled by her, she didn't know what she was thinking. Shiraishi Lihua felt very bad now, very bad. Her heart was pounding so loudly that she was a little afraid of the person she was pulling.
Everybody can hear it.
Although it is the method taught by my mother, even though it is said to just relax, be natural, be natural...
But actually doing it is completely different!
If you continue like this, will you die?
"Lihua?"
"..."
"Lihua?"
The sudden strength to resist herself brought Shiraishi Rika back to her senses.
...has been discovered?
He turned his head slightly stiffly.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to say that we have gone a little too far. I just saw the disposable paper cups. Let's go and take a look."
"Yes, really? That's true."
Xia Zhi looked at Shiraishi Rika, who was a little out of sorts, and suddenly remembered a certain rumor about rich people.
——Most wealthy people are not used to places where civilians gather in large numbers, because such places are extremely ungraceful to them.
Originally, it was just prejudice, and it would never happen to a good child like Shiraishi Rika. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be true, and the example is right around me. The world is really wonderful.
In this case, it would be better to finish shopping and leave quickly.
"Let's go, finish the shopping quickly and it will be over quickly."
Xia Zhi gently broke free of the originally grabbed sleeve. Just when Shiraishi Lihua felt a little disappointed, Xia Zhi grabbed her hand with his backhand and walked back.
Someone's body temperature rises sharply after half a second.
