Chapter 1211
The next day.
"Well, today is Saturday..." Yang Ming looked at the calendar in the room sleepily with his messy black hair.
"It's better to sleep a little longer. Getting up so early is not good for your blood pressure..." He murmured a few words in a daze. Just as he was about to lie down, he suddenly became energetic again.
No...there seems to be something wrong?
today! Today is the release day of "Shounen Jump"!
Although it is a weekly comic book that is regularly released on Mondays, it will occasionally be moved to Saturdays due to previews. If you go there late, the nearby bookstore will be sold out, and you will have to walk two blocks to buy it. .
And more importantly, there is another reason.
I went to the hospital for a checkup some time ago. The doctor said that his blood sugar was too high and he might develop diabetes if he continues like this, so he asked him to reluctantly cut off his food and control his intake of sweets.
Today is the time when Yang Ming takes in sugar once a week.
Yang Ming came down from the second floor of the hotel where he lived and got on a newly purchased motorcycle. The engine made a loud noise and passed through familiar streets. Only a few yells not far away were left, "Who is it!" The noise started so early in the morning!”
"Don't these people know that going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health?" he thought without guilt, "but I'd better go get the exhaust pipe repaired tomorrow."
This is "Kabukicho".
Tokyo is still in a cycle of sunrise and sunset, with only Kabukicho lingering in the gray zone of neglect. The alleys here always lead to unexpected places. You will never guess whether the shop owner under those fancy signs is an ordinary woman, or a gangster like a gangster or a Beatle. Guy.
But once you leave this area and reach the center of Tokyo, the heavy colors suddenly diminish. Light brown houses, light gray roads, even the traffic lights on the roadside are softly lit. The surrounding buildings are lined up in rows, the whole city exudes a vitality from the ancient times, and the sky is clear and blue.
"There are only the last two copies left. Fortunately, I bought them..." After coming out of the bookstore, he flipped through comic books on the road and walked towards his next destination.
He didn't stop until he turned into a deep alley and saw the black door of ash wood with a cat-shaped pattern standing in front of him.
The reason why he knew it was Kashiki was not because of his in-depth study of wood, but because Totsuki Academy uses this material.
"Well, it's indeed open today."
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
Accompanied by the gentle ringing of the welcoming bell, he raised his hand to open the door and walked in, and then the greeting came to his ears like water.
"Well, the decoration in the store seems to have changed..." He hadn't visited in about two weeks. Yang Ming looked at the flower stand at the door, stepped forward, and shouted loudly, "Old man, I'm here again! Please order Uji Gintoki rice bowl!"
The so-called Uji Gintoki Don is just a simple mixture of rice and red bean paste. When white rice is mixed with red beans, the sweetness will obviously double. It is the favorite of Yang Ming, who has a sweet tooth.
But Yang Ming couldn't compare to the craftsmanship of the shop owner here. Although he just picked it up with ease, the Uji Gintoki rice bowl made by the old man was several times more fragrant than the one he made himself, and it had a sense of pleasure that you couldn't stop eating. Later, he simply gave up on cooking by himself and came directly here when he wanted to eat.
But today, something seems wrong.
"Sorry, I don't sell weird dark dishes here." The girl's clear voice came, and Yang Ming couldn't help but look over in surprise.
"Eh? Why is it you? Where is the old man?"
The girl with long light chestnut hair in front of him seems to be called Shaxi. She is the granddaughter of the store manager. She occasionally comes to the store to help. Yang Ming has met a few times. The two of them seem to be a little off. Every time they meet, they will make sarcastic remarks. .
"Grandpa went back to his hometown to recuperate some time ago. I will take care of this store from now on." Shaxi tilted her head and looked at him, "Why, you saw me looking very unhappy?"
"No, no." Yang Ming laughed, "I just think that compared to the messy old man, it is indeed more pleasing to the eye to have a cute girl as the store manager."
"Stop talking nonsense, I won't make you a dark dish like red bean paste bibimbap." Sashi pronounced the death sentence mercilessly. It is absolutely impossible to make you feel so sweet and panicked just by looking at it. Born from her hands.
"Isn't it common sense in the service industry to meet the needs of customers? If you open a store like this, it will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
"What meets the demand? Why do I feel that the service industry you are talking about is not a serious place?" She raised her eyebrows, "As for whether it will go bankrupt, it is none of your business!"
"Okay, then I will discredit your store online from now on."
"You have to discredit me even if you pay such a big price!"
"At worst, I'll ask a bunch of trolls on the Internet to help me tomorrow."
"Ah, um..." When other customers first came in, they saw exactly this scene. The store manager, who always spoke softly and softly, was now sarcastic and sarcastic with the customers.
"Welcome!" Leaving behind the troublesome customer who kept shouting for Uji Gintoki Don, Saki greeted him with a gentle smile again, "Would you like to order something?"
He had always been calm and relaxed in his Qi-nurturing Kung Fu, but when he saw this black-haired sweet monster, he couldn't help but break the Kung Fu.
"As always, just a piece of egg fried rice." The customer found a corner to sit down.
"OK!"
"Hey! Are you going to ignore my food?" Yang Ming pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table, "I'm still hungry!"
"Here is the menu, choose yourself." Shashi handed over the hand-drawn menu that took her a long time to make, and then entered the kitchen.
Until Shaxi brought out the egg fried rice, Yang Ming couldn't find the dish he wanted to eat in the menu, or in other words, he wanted to eat too much, which made him a little confused.
But, no matter what, today is the weekly sweets day, so I have to eat some sweets.
"Then you can order this, "Sweet and Sour Pork Rice Bowl." "Hearing what he said, Shashi pointed to a place on the menu and recommended.
"Sweet and sour..." Although he didn't know how delicious the dish was, the word "sugar" written on it undoubtedly attracted Yang Ming's attention, "Then order this."
"Um."
It is now past ten o'clock in the morning, which is a somewhat awkward time for diners. It is too late to have breakfast, and it is too early to have lunch. The stomachs filled in advance are not enough to last until the dinner in the evening.
