"That's enough for now, please take a break!" Haruna carefully sealed the radish slices in a fresh-keeping bag, and said to Kitahara Hideji calmly. There are more than a dozen of these large fresh-keeping bags in front of her, which contain various pre-processed ingredients.

Hideji Kitahara put down the kitchen knife regretfully, and said yes with a smile - it's a pity that he didn't gain much experience after cutting such a large pile.

Of course, running an izakaya requires continuous purchase of fresh ingredients, but there is no way to guarantee that these fresh ingredients can be sold, and the excess will be made into "zukes", which are called pickles and pickles in China.

Basically, salting is the main method, that is, cabbage, radish, cucumber, even squid, fish, fish offal, fish roe and salt are sealed together in a sterilized jar or wooden barrel, and then pressed on stones, waiting for three to five weeks Then take it out to dry.

For example, sea urchins, mullet ovaries, and sea cucumber intestines made by salting are known as Japan's three treasures, and they are all very famous local side dishes.

In addition, there are sauce pickles, soy sauce pickles, vinegar pickles, pepper pickles, miso pickles, etc., which are the same in nature as salt pickling, such as "Xinzi Mentaiko", which is to marinate mentaiko fish roe with chili, sugar and spices ——The Xinzi in the name refers to chili.

Spicy oil cucumbers, pickled cabbage and the like are even more common, and can be seen basically everywhere.

There are also complicated ones, such as "Ze'an", which uses a mixture of salt, bran and sugar to pickle white radish slices, and mixes salt, sugar, rice bran, and mashed persimmons and apples in proportion to dry them into powder, and then lay a layer of powder and a layer of white radish slices, seal and press for about a month to complete, the radish has a salty and sweet taste, but also reveals the fragrance of fruit, and the white radish slices are dyed, according to the release The fruit puree you put in is different in color, such as yellow, orange or red, which makes you appetite just looking at it.

Even cherry blossom petals can be made into pickles, but the taste...it can only be said to be personal preference!

In the past, these were the jobs of Haruna. Before Hideji Kitahara came, she was usually responsible for checking the refrigerator and freezer, and then processed the stale ingredients into pickles and then sold them as side dishes. It is a kind of business to ensure quality and reduce losses. Way, that's why she just stood in the kitchen and cut and cut, and now Hideji Kitahara wanted to brush up her [cooking] skills to LV10, and she didn't rush to leave after the izakaya closed today, and stayed to help Haruna Do it together.

There is never too much experience, and it’s a good thing to get a little bit of it, so you can’t pay for it yourself!

His current knife skills are much better than Chuncai's, and his strength and endurance are also better than hers. He has processed the ingredients accumulated from the recent bad business in one bite, and the buckets, jars, and ingredients for making pickles in the backyard are all It's ready-made, just go back and stuff it in.

Haruna sealed the bag, looked at the clock and said to Hideji Kitahara, "I'm sorry to trouble you, it seems that it's past the time for the last bus, how are you going to go back?"

Hideji Kitahara finished his work and was setting the kitchen utensils in a "crazy" attack. He said with a casual smile, "It's okay, it's a few stops and it's not far away. I'll just walk back."

Haruna is slightly embarrassed, she usually likes to observe others, and now Hideji Kitahara is her key observation object, and she finds that Hideji Kitahara is working very hard during this time, and she looks like sharing weal and woe in the face of crisis, she can't help but feel sorry for these few people Tian didn't pay much attention to him, and he felt a little regretful.

Her father was joking around, but it offended her again—she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, no matter how good Kitahara Hideji was, and no matter how much her father admired him, he shouldn't treat his daughter like a commodity, and just let him pick one as his own. Wife, this is so disrespectful, no matter how chauvinistic or patriarchal you are, you can't do this!

But her personality is not like Fuyumi's, she just sprays directly when she is angry, and usually keeps it in her stomach, so Kitahara Hideji suffered from the disaster, in order to show that the girls of the Fukuzawa family are very reserved and noble, and it is not rare This guy, Haruna decided to be lukewarm towards Kitahara Hideji these days.

But right now, Hideji Kitahara took the initiative to help and saved her a lot of time. She would be embarrassed no matter how lukewarm she was, and she also found out that no one else seemed to care much about Dad's rude jokes except herself. It seemed that the drunk said something. Drunk talk or something, the eldest sister has such a temper that she doesn't bother to get angry with him anymore.

She thought for a while and said to Hideji Kitahara, "Wait a minute." After she finished speaking, she turned into the corridor door next to the kitchen and didn't know what to do.

Kitahara Hideji ignored her, and carefully sorted the kitchen utensils into categories and put them in order, then wiped the counter top and bottom with a rag to make it spotless. ] and other skills would be fine, but according to my own temperament, I might have reached LV20 by now.

As soon as he glanced at it, he heard the phone ring. He took it out casually and found that it was Uchida Xiongma. He didn't know what he wanted to do, so he asked, "Uchida, what's the matter so late?"

Uchida Xiongma's voice was very excited, and he shouted on the other end of the phone: "Beiyuan, I can't sleep!"

Kitahara Hideji was silent for a moment, it's none of my business if you can't sleep? Did you call to ask me to sing you a lullaby? I don't have that function!

He said angrily: "If you have something on your mind, call Ah Li and talk to Ah Li."

"I've fought, Ah Li is already half-crazy, now I can only look for you!"

Hideji Kitahara turned on the hands-free phone and left it aside, went to wash his hands by himself, and said casually: "I'm very busy now, if you have something to do, just make a long story short, and hang up if you have nothing to do."

It's probably not a serious matter.

It's not that Hideji Kitahara's personal cultivation is not enough. Uchida Yuma is a standard type of friend, shameless and shameless, you must not be polite to him-this guy is just a talker and a good businessman, and he will be annoyed to death if you are polite to him. you.

"I'm nervous, Beiyuan. Tomorrow is my first battle to Jiashiyuan. When I think that this is the first step in my epic legend, my heart is in turmoil. I can't sleep at all! You said that in the future I will Reminiscing about this day..." Uchida Yuma babbled endlessly, and Kitahara Hideji carefully washed his hands in his left ear and out of his right ear.

You don't need to talk to this guy, he can talk for half an hour by himself... What a talent!

"Ah, who is talking?" The cloth curtain at the entrance of the corridor lifted the snow and came out. She has changed out of her cooking clothes. She is wearing brown and white plaid pajamas with bare feet. She is very girly and homely, but it is not suitable for carrying a bicycle in one hand. She looked at the phone and her face was full of curiosity like a small animal. , "Xiuci, who's calling?"

Naotaka Fukuzawa slipped away after making a joke, hid himself and continued to piss the horse, leaving a mess for Hideji Kitahara - Fuyumi is currently focusing on how to protect her own source of income. Fortunately, Haruna has been growing Sullen (she already had feelings for her father), Xiazhi Xiasha also sneaked a few sneaky glances at Kitahara Hideji from time to time. She didn't know what kind of plan she was planning. Most likely it was related to the rebellion, but Yuuri was the most direct. She felt that she was the only one in the family who knew Dad best, and understood that Dad was only willing to give up his children so that he could win wolves, and she also valued the feudal dross of parents' orders, so she even started calling Kitahara Hideji by his first name.

"...Tomorrow, I have Xia Jia's first battle in Beiyuan. You must watch it. I still count on you guys to help me publicize my heroic appearance in the first battle of Mr. Xiongma. Don't forget... Eh? Show time? The woman's voice is still very sweet, it's a girl... Beiyuan, where are you at this hour? Shouldn't you be living alone? Who is this girl?!" Uchida Yuma was chattering vigorously there, and suddenly heard Hearing Xueli's voice, the words in his own mouth were out of tune in shock.

Xueli got close to the mobile phone on the desk, and asked cheerfully, "I'm Xueli, who are you? Are you Xiuji's friend?" Her voice was soft and waxy, with a bit of a childish voice , trying to pretend to be a virtuous girl.

"Xueli...ah, no, Xueli-sang, ah, no, eldest sister?" Uchida Xiongma's voice trembled a little, he was in the restless period of youth, and he also had a low-spirited appearance every day, but he really He doesn't have many chances to talk to girls, and the girls in the class don't pay much attention to him, so he can chat with girls on the Internet by text. Hearing Xueli's sweet voice suddenly, his mind can't turn.

His last big sister doesn’t mean elder sister. There is no direct title for sister-in-law in Japanese, so he usually calls elder sister respectfully. Northern Plains..."

He was talking about Kitahara Hideji hastily wiped his hands and picked up his phone. He wanted to vomit blood, so he quickly turned off the speakerphone, while Uchida Yuma was still saying, "It's Kitahara's number one friend, a life-changing friendship." , Miss..."

Kitahara Hideji stopped talking nonsense with him, and said directly: "Okay, Uchida, you said a hundred times during the day, and I promised to go to the baseball game, then I will definitely go, let's do it first!"

He didn't care if Uchida Yuma was still yelling "Eh! Eh? You haven't told me about your girlfriend yet! Hey, hello, hello?!" and cut off the call.

Uchida Yuma's love for the little things between men and women is obviously better than his love for baseball, so if he can enter Koshien like this, it would be a godsend.

And Chuncai has been following Xueli, and is preaching to her, "Second sister, how can you interrupt other people's private calls at will, this is too rude, hurry up and apologize."

Xueli was a little aggrieved: "Is that so? He was the one who turned on his mobile phone so loudly, I thought he could talk casually, besides, Xiuci is not an outsider..."

Hideji Kitahara put the phone on and was speechless for a while, Am I an outsider or your insider?

He was going to tell that kid Uchida Xiongma not to make up his minds tomorrow, and he is not afraid of the shadow leaning, and the feet are not afraid of the shoes crooked, it is not a big deal, he said with a smile: "No need to apologize, it's okay."

Yuki touched the back of her head and became cheerful again, "Xiuji, you are still good, you don't care about me, if you change the eldest sister, you will hit me again, I will definitely remember your sincerity..."

Haruna pulled her to stop her from talking nonsense, "Second Sister, Eldest Sister asked you to come down to work..."

"Oh, I see." Yuri responded, and then turned to Kitahara Hideji, "Are you going to the baseball game tomorrow? Can you take me with you?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation. During this period of time, she had been forced to study, very painful and aggrieved, and wanted to go out to play.

Kitahara Hideji didn't want to, but he didn't want to be the bad guy either, so he said with a smile, "Ask your sister, if she agrees, we can go together."

Dongmei is definitely not happy, anyway, she is a template for a little bastard, so let her be the villain to the end.

"Then I'll go back and ask her!" Yurito Kitahara Hideji agreed, and happily piled up those food bags, picked them up easily, and left - it seemed that she had always done this kind of physical work at home.

After Xueli left, Chuncai pointed to the bicycle thrown aside by Xueli and said quietly: "You can go back by bicycle today, so that you can hurry up."

Hideji Kitahara took a look at the bicycle, and found that it was a very small women's bicycle. He was probably riding a monkey like a chicken for a big man, but it was ugly anyway, and it would definitely save time and effort compared to walking—no matter what others think, it is practical First!

He didn't expect Chuncai to think so carefully for him, thanked him with a smile, picked up the bicycle and found that it was well maintained, and Chuncai gave him a bag of minced meat and bones in the basket for him to take back to feed the dog .

Hideji Kitahara walked out with his bicycle, and asked curiously, "Is this your bicycle?"

"No, I don't know how to ride. It belongs to my elder sister." As a Chinese, I think riding a bicycle is a basic skill, but it is not necessarily the case abroad. This is not surprising to Hideji Kitahara. What is strange about him is that he has never seen a small radish. head to school by bike.

With her short legs, riding a bicycle must be a joy.

"Why doesn't your eldest sister ride now?"

"When I was in junior high school, my eldest sister took my second sister to school by bicycle. Later, the second sister moved her foot and was pinned into the wheel. The eldest sister didn't pay attention. She couldn't stand up and pedaled when she was sitting and pedaling. As a result, the second sister Don’t hurt your feet...Later, the eldest sister blamed the design of the bicycle, so she threw it in the warehouse and changed it to take the bus to school.”

Kitahara Hideji was speechless, wouldn't those two idiots scream when their feet were pinned into the wheels? He thought about it for a while, little Xueli looked down curiously at his feet being stuck in the wheel, while Fuyumi in front of him was standing on the bicycle with her mouth tightly pressed and pedaling hard. Finally, Xueli's dinosaur nerves finally transmitted the pain The picture of slowly grinning when it reaches the brain...

How did the two of you survive so long together?

The picture was so beautiful that he didn't dare to think about it. He waved to Chuncai, got on his bicycle and left.
