Chapter 34 Section Eleven

Heishiro strolled past the front of the store and found that the sunshade curtain had been changed to a shorter style. He probably didn't pay attention to it before, but it must have been changed a long time ago.At the end of summer and autumn, I always feel chaotic in my heart. "Oh, right." Heishiro looked down at Yumonosuke beside him and asked: "How about giving Ade a pair of long and short door curtains dyed with the name of the shop as a gift for the new shop?" Yesterday, a business owner celebrated his recovery from a serious illness and invited Kawaiya and his family to visit, so Yuminosuke asked the hairdresser to shave his face.The originally fair skin appeared more translucent, the eyebrows were neatly shaped like a doll, and the round cheeks reflected the sunlight.

"That's a great idea, but Uncle," the beautiful child smiled slightly, "before that, you have to get a business name for the shop. Auntie asked Uncle, have you forgotten?" Heishiro didn't completely forget about it, he stretched out his fingers and pinched the tip of his chin in thought. "Isn't it good to call it 'Dewu'?" "Put more thought into it." This kind of thing that requires talent is the most difficult for Heishiro. "When it was Ah Feng's shop, there was no business name. Everyone just called it 'Ah Feng's shop'."

"So now that it's Aunt Ade's shop, I need a business name even more." The two were heading to Ad's small restaurant because Masagoro was coming.In addition, Heishiro asked Ade to make a lunch box. Blue sky, plus a cold breeze.The smell of burning fallen leaves came from nowhere.The fragrance of flowers in spring is charming, but Heishiro also loves the melancholy atmosphere of autumn. In a few days, the dead leaves will be gone.The expressions of passers-by are also cheerful because of the good weather, but most likely it is because the days are getting shorter and shorter, which makes everyone hurry.

When turning the corner of the street, a large cart full of charcoal turned suddenly, and Heishiro hurriedly pulled Gongnosuke's hand and dodged aside. "Ah, sir, I'm so sorry." The person pushing the cart didn't slow down, just being polite. "Hey, two bags are overloaded!" Heishiro shouted roughly.I only heard the answer of "Yes, I'm sorry!" mixed with the sound of rattling wheels and going away. "Uncle, you can see overload at a glance?" Kuminosuke opened his eyes wide. "By the way, uncle has been a high-ranking officer before."

"I'm talking nonsense. None of the big trucks on the street is not overloaded, and it's right to say anything." But...Heishiro looked at his nephew's face as smooth as jade. "You haven't measured things for a while, are you not interested? Are you still learning from Mr. Sasaki?" Before Komonosuke frequented Heishiro's house, he was a teacher of a ronin named Sasaki Michizaburo.This gentleman, who wandered from the West to Edo, lived alone and desolately in a courtyard in Saga Town.Kuminosuke respects him very much. This is a good thing, but the problem is that Mr. Sasaki is a man who loves to measure more than meals.When it comes to measuring, it is naturally for making maps or plans, and there is no other use for it.But this should be presided over by the government, and drawing without permission will be punished.Gong Zhisuke firmly stated that the master's measurement is for his own knowledge, and he will never use it for other purposes.But once discovered, this reason is unreasonable.Heishiro was a little worried, and so was So-kun.

"Yes, teaching us to read, write and abacus is Mr. Sasaki's livelihood. Uncle, I'm sorry to make you worry." Kuminosuke let go of Heishiro's hand, and bowed deftly as he walked. "Mister has also been very careful recently, and no longer asks our students to help with drawing." Hearing this sentence, Heishiro felt a little relieved. "But I put away the habit of measuring what I see, not for this reason. Mr. Sasaki taught me that 'this period is over'." When they first met, Kuminosuke measured everything out of thin air no matter what he saw, and Heishiro was very interested.Asked why he did this, Kuminosuke replied:

"Measurement can know the distance between things. After knowing the distance, you can understand the nature of things." Heishiro asked according to this sentence: "Mr. Sasaki means that you already understand the essence of things, so you don't need to measure them one by one?" Yukinosuke shook his head quickly. "No, no, that's not the case. Uncle, I'm still far behind. Besides, even if you understand the essence of things, the truth in the world doesn't stop there." "But, after measuring it, you will understand, right?" "If it's something that can be measured."

Yukinosuke said slowly. "However, the principles in the world may not be measurable. Mr. Sasaki told me that I have done enough practice in measuring things. From now on, I should see and think more about things that cannot be measured, so I don't want to measure things anymore. Measured." Heishiro stopped. "Show me your shoes." Yumisuke obediently took off a small straw sandal and handed it over.Heishiro turned the shoe inside out. "Really, no more pins." When taking measurements, Yumonosuke puts a thumbtack on the front and back of the sole.When walking, the thumbtack makes a sound when it touches the ground, as a standard for walking at the same pace anytime and anywhere.

It is a difficult request to look at the immeasurable.Heishiro waited for Yumonosuke to put on the straw sandals again, and a thought flashed in his mind: "What do you think Mr. Sasaki said about the 'immeasurable thing'?" Kuminosuke narrowed his eyes just because of the wind blowing, and replied, "Is it popular?" Indeed, this cannot be measured in catties. "It's like, Sister Feng, who is doing the dowry, is in a happy mood." Oh, is it officially settled?Heishiro said loudly: "Great!" "Yes. Sister Feng's face is even brighter than the sun now! And it's getting brighter every day."

Heishiro thought of Miss Qianjin's eyes that didn't know the sufferings of the world, but were so serious because of it. I hope that the fate that Ah Feng catches is the fate of happiness.It would be anxious to wish only, but Heishiro couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart: I hope that I don't get along like the boss and the wife of a certain big dealer, and that the couple are close and love each other. "What kind of business name did Ade get to applaud, and I can't measure it." "Yes, what name should I choose?" After speaking, Yukinosuke sniffled.

"It smells so fragrant, my stomach growled when I smelled it. It's obviously far away from Aunt Ade's shop." It was the burnt aroma of soy sauce, and Heishiro smiled knowingly. "The Kido Ban in front of here sells roasted glutinous rice balls, buy them for everyone to eat as a snack!" Gongnosuke jumped up happily and ran forward happily. Although all the baked glutinous rice balls were packaged, they were "sold out" immediately.Not counting Ah Chan who is in the Mood for Love, Heishiro thinks that Ah Mon is still very good at eating, and she is competing with Yumi nosuke for food. "Awen, there are no rules. Don't eat in such a hurry, wipe your mouth clean." Ade slapped the back of Awen's hand and gave her a look. "Really, it seems like I didn't let you have a good meal." Ade sighed.Masagoro laughed, while Heishirou swallowed the ball and drank his tea. "After eating dim sum, I will trouble you to look at the store. We have something to say to the proprietress later." "Then I'll help too." Kuminosuke stood up. "Because I haven't seen Aunt Ade for a while, I came to greet and drop by to play. It's okay. Please let me help." Really clever.Gong Zhisuke slid down from the seat, came to the dirt floor in the shop, pointed and praised, "Hey, is this a new dish? It looks delicious!" Ah Can began to explain.Awen seemed to be very interested in Gongzhisuke, staring at him as he walked around and joking. "By the way, why didn't you see Yanyi?" There was only Tak and the two girls in the shop. "Won't he always come to help?" "Today is the day of the stone and the beam on the house." Shihewu is the restaurant where Yanyi works, and it is being rebuilt because of Zhu Rong.Yanyi had nothing to do during this period, so he offered to help Ade. "After the beam is installed, it will be soon." Zheng Goro said. "However, as soon as Brother Yan returned to Shihe House, it became deserted here. Sister Ade, do you think it is? It seems that something is missing today." Ade wiped his forehead with the towel hanging around his neck, nodding his head so much that his body was almost bent. "That's right! Thanks to Brother Yan, he has helped me a lot! If he is not here, I will really panic." As he spoke, he frowned slightly, looking back and forth between Heishiro and Masagoro. "However, brother Yan said something strange. Even if Shihewu reopens, he will stay here." Heishiro licked his finger that was covered with soy sauce on the grilled glutinous rice balls. "What do you mean by staying here? Do you want to quit Shihewu?" Grandpa is really like a child.After speaking, Ade smiled. "That's what it means. I scolded him, he has such a good skill, don't mess around. And don't be scared, the uncle and the boss. Later, I asked carefully, he is not an ordinary chef, but a chef!" "What's the difference?" Heishiro asked Masagoro. "There is only one 'chief chef' in a restaurant, and he is the chef with the highest status, which is the signature of that restaurant." That's great. "How old is he? Thirty?" "Well, exactly thirty." "You're so young." Masagoro said in admiration. "Not many can become chefs at that age, let alone Shihewu is a famous restaurant." There are guests.Chan, Mon and Yumi nosuke greeted "Welcome" in unison, and it was ridiculous how startled the guests were. "But... isn't he tired of being in that kind of famous restaurant specializing in high-end cuisine? He said so before. Then it's not surprising that he quit Shihewu and stayed here." "That's not the case, that's different." Ed looked serious. "Indeed, Brother Yan is very confused now. I've heard those words, and I understand his feelings very well. But, when he thinks it through, he will find that Shihewu is the place to stay, and it will be too late to regret it Yes. Even if it is something that you have worked so hard to get, once you let it go, you will never get it back. If it is not for hard work and God’s blessing, you will not be able to be a chef at that age. It is the same as the boss said. It is so important If he abandons the matter because of momentary confusion, I will not spare him." Ade got angry when he said that.Heishiro smiled. "It's useless for you to be angry now. Hey, Yanyi is an adult, and he will definitely think about it." correct.Masagoro stuck out his thick knees. "About Ah Feng's whereabouts, Brother Yan became a clue." Masagoro's visit today was for this purpose.Ade asked him to inquire about A Feng. "Is there any news from Yanyi?" "It's not direct news, but you should ask the chef about the chef—it's really dark under the lampstand." Before Ah Feng moved to this Xingbei Zayuan to grab Ade's business, he and his husband ran a restaurant called Corner House. "Remember it's at the west end of Liangliang Bridge?" Heishiro recalled.About Ah Feng's past, he heard it from Xiyi, a double paper engraver. "Yes. Kakuya started its business by providing food for fireworks boats. It is said that the business is very good." But this spring, Ah Feng and her husband divorced and left home, and soon the shop closed down. "Afeng's husband is called Xianji, and he is already sixty. I went to see him the day before yesterday." "Found it? It's so fast." Masagoro smiled and raised his hand. "It's not my credit. I went to the Liangliangqiao area to inquire, but I didn't ask about the news of Xianji taking over the corner house. I didn't expect Brother Yan to know. His guest at Shihe House happened to be a regular customer of the corner house. Once, somehow, I mentioned in Shihe's house: "It's a pity to run a corner house for catering. The owner and the child don't know what to do. It's really pitiful..." As soon as Yan heard it, he remembered it in his mind.When Masagoro said that the proprietress of the corner house was actually the previous proprietress of this shop, Hikoichi couldn't help marveling at the smallness of the world.Then, he told Masagoro that if he asked the guest, he should be able to know more details. "So I went to visit and found out that Senji is now working for the soba noodle shop next to Kanda Shinbashi. Not only this customer, but several customers from the corner house have worked together to find a job for him." "Soba noodle shop, not outside cooking..." Ade murmured.Masagoro nodded. "Although it depends on the size of the shop and what kind of customers it is doing business with, the restaurant is very tiring. After putting away the corner house, you have to be hired again based on your ability. He is not too young, so he doesn't have that willingness." , retreated very much. No wonder, the boss is used to being the boss, but now it is difficult to turn around and let people do things around." It's not hard to imagine him feeling that way.It is said that the corner house is presided over by Ah Feng alone. Xianji may not have considered himself a boss, but even if he is a nominal boss, it must be uncomfortable to turn back and be subordinate to others after having tasted the taste of being superior. "Originally, Senji didn't formally learn how to cook like Yanyi brother. He was born in Gansoba, and he learned how to cook. Before he married Ah Feng, he stayed in many shops." "So, is this the first time you and Ah Feng have married?" "Yes, children are also born at this time. There is a five-year-old boy on the top, and a three-year-old girl on the bottom. I heard that I am very fond of children. But after the corner house is gone, it is also difficult to feed the children. , Both of them were given away. This is also the way those guests found for him." The previous customers were willing to help so much, which shows that Xianji is very popular.But there is also a part that he is too weak, let people look down on it! "After taking a turn in my life, I returned to being a hired soba noodle maker. Although I can make ends meet, I'm sure I'm lonely. There's probably no one to talk to in the store now. Well, I've heard him complain for a while." Masagoro patted the back of his neck with a wry smile. "Xianji kept talking about 'the most poisonous woman's heart, she was deceived', and kept blaming Ah Feng, but in fact he was still very attached to her in his heart. When he heard that Ah Feng was missing now, his face changed with anxiety, it must be I'm worried." "It's enough for him to worry about himself," Heishiro said.Ade had a stinky face. "Why did Ah Feng and Xianji get together?" "Xianji has little savings." Zheng Goro replied immediately. "When the two met, Ah Feng was working in a small restaurant in Xiaofucho. Not only did she cook good food, she also served wine and laughed, and she was very popular with guests." And she's a bewitching beauty. "Xianji was also a guest there, and spent a lot of money on Ah Feng. It is said that there are many such guests, but in the end Ah Feng chose Xianji." When he said these words, Xianji was very proud, thinking that it was because he was more trustworthy than others.If it refers to the savings he has saved, it is correct.Ah Feng must be interested in money.Heishiro couldn't help laughing, but Ade's face became even more stinky. Thus, Corner House opened.Thanks to a beautiful and capable proprietress, the business in the shop is booming, the evaluation is quite good, and the couple has a lovely child.If this continues, Xianji's second half of his life will be like entering a fairyland in Taoyuan. Ade read a sentence in a low voice. "Five and three years old." Heishiro glanced at Ade, and saw the corners of her mouth drooping. "He's willing to leave the child behind. Even if he doesn't get along with his husband, he can't lose the child." Adela picked up the handkerchief, wiped her nose vigorously this time, and blew it. "If I score points no matter what, I'll throw my husband out and stay in the store by myself and raise the kids." "It's so fierce." Heishiro made trouble. "Is there no way for Ah Feng to do this? There must be some other reason that makes her not only willing to bear her husband, but also willing to bear her children." She stared at Heishirou and Masagoro with stern eyes.Heishiro did not answer, and Masagoro also remained silent. "It must be a man, right? Women have problems, it's all men's fault, nothing else. Oh, it's so annoying." Unhappy with the words, Ade stood up vigorously. "I'll go get some tea." Then, by the way, Ah Can and Ah Wen were trained: the empty dishes should be washed immediately, and half of the dishes left over should be tidied up to make them look better.Kuminosuke covered the two men who flinched from being scolded, and said briskly, "Yes, I understand", and took the conversation.During this period, there are still customers coming in and out. How many people have gotten up since just now? "Since Adetuo and I are looking for Ah Feng, I must tell about Ah Feng and Jinyi. Is it okay?" Masagoro politely asked Heishiro for instructions, and Heishiro nodded. "At this point, it's meaningless to keep it a secret, and Ade also guessed it. But, I don't understand why Ade wants to find Afeng, why bother with that kind of person! Although she has such a personality." "I'm afraid that after Sister Ade learns about the inside story, she will say that she will take care of Xianji and those two children." Adelaide is likely to do so. "Does Xianji know about the relationship between Afeng and Jinyi?" "It's not easy to ask directly about this matter, and I was just going around in circles. The answer I got was: Ah Feng must have had a lover when he ran away from home." Although he was very jealous and complained, Xianji said, "Probably some young man! Maybe it's a guest." "Xianji's speculation like this shows that he doesn't know that the other party is Jinyi." In this regard, Afeng also arranged cleverly, so that Xianji did not get caught. "I asked Yin Weifang," Heishiro said in a low voice, "Jin Yi decided to behead him. Not only did he not bear the murder case at Chi Youhui Teahouse, this guy had too many cases on his back, and the time spent on interrogating him also increased a lot, but the major All the questions came out. He pinned his hopes on the island of exile, but Yubai Prefecture is not so easy to deal with." Ah Feng, who doesn't know where he is now, does he know the news?If she knew, would she try to rescue her beloved Jin Yi? "About the murder in the tryst at the teahouse..." Masagoro also lowered his voice. "Isn't it the little proprietress of the oil pan dealer in Rimubashi?" "The store collapsed. On the one hand, it has a bad reputation, but the bigger reason is that the little proprietress took the money away." For the little proprietress, the money was prepared for elopement with Jin Yi, but Jin Yi killed her and absconded with the money, and he showed no repentance afterwards.Ah Feng does not hesitate to abandon his husband, son, and shop, and this is the kind of person he is dedicated to. "I haven't met such a strange helper as Ade at the oil dealer." The little proprietress ruined the shop because of her obsession, Heishiro murmured. Masagoro looked at the empty teacup, and responded in a calm tone: "Master, being crazy about your lover is not a temporary obsession, it makes people sad and dangerous." Heishiro pondered for a while, and said: "It's annoying to talk about. Let's change the subject and tell you a good thing! Ah Feng, who also got along with Jin Yi when he was arrested last time, is getting married." A smile appeared on Masagoro's rough face. "Ah, that's really great, congratulations." "I heard that Afeng herself is also very happy. I just met her not long ago. She has become more beautiful and stable." "She is a good girl! The groom is really a blessing from the previous life." Ade scolded Awen, who was standing there blankly, and came back with a teapot. "Boss, according to what I just said, Afeng's divorced husband, Xianji, doesn't know where she is. I asked the boss to look for her, but he made the trip in vain." Freshly brewed tea is very fragrant.Heishiro thought to himself that the tea he changed this time was better than the one just now, and he suddenly remembered the tea that A Liu made for him in Yuxipo's mansion.That's really luxurious tea. After finishing the work here, Heishiro will go to Ah Liu's place.Most of the new owner has nothing to do with that kind of famous tea. I wonder how Ah Liu is doing? "Not necessarily. Sister Adek, couples are couples after all." Zheng Goro said. "I asked Xianji, if encountering difficulties, who or where Ah Feng might turn to, Xianji told me after not thinking for a long time." Most were the guests of the Corner House, but there were two others whom they had met in the diner before they got married.Ah Feng has a wide range of people, and there are many men he can rely on.Heishiro was a little surprised, but also greatly admired. "Next, I will ask one by one. If you follow the line, you will always find Ah Feng." "I'm really sorry to ask the boss to go out in person." Ade saluted sincerely. "I used to rely on this to make a living. Sister Ade doesn't need to apologize. It's just that I have to hear what Sister Ade's plan is after I find Ah Feng. When I agreed to find someone, I asked Sister Ade to think about it. " "What are your plans..." Ade looked at Heishiro for help.Heishiro wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but he laughed. "Don't ask me, I don't know anything." "But sir..." "There's nothing wrong with it. By the way, Ade, before you have a serious talk with Masagoro, I'd like to ask you something. I almost forgot. I'm not here today, I'm here as a guest." Heishiro planned to go to Kawasaki early in the morning the day after tomorrow. "I have something to ask, and I want to bring some food to the door. Can you prepare a lunch box for me?" This trip is to go to Minato's villa in Kawasaki to confirm Sun Ba's situation.Kyubei was waiting for him. "What do you want to ask someone for?" "Confidential official business. Not a big deal, but I want to bring a decent lunch box." Heishiro actually wanted to tell Ade the truth - I want Jiubei to see and taste the lunch box you made, and then tell him: Ade is doing well now, and he opened a restaurant in Xingbei Zain A small restaurant and stew shop, the craftsmanship is quite good.Here, let's eat! "In this case, um, leave it to me. How many servings do you make for the lunch box?" "Two or three people." "Let Second Lord Xiaoping carry it on his back?" "Yeah, it's time for a thousand days in the middle of raising." "Uncle and Second Lord Xiaoping also want rice balls on the way?" "It would be better if we could get ready together." "I see. The morning after tomorrow, right? I'll deliver it before Xiaoqi quarter." How do we do this?Too heavy and hard to hold—Ade immediately put his mind on business.It's completely different from the worried look just now, and it looks lively, which makes people happy to see it. Heishiro grabbed the samurai sword, stood up and shouted "Kuminosuke, I'm leaving." Kuminosuke, who had been chatting happily with Ah Chan, said hello.Ah Wen looked at the two from a step away.Heishiro patted her head lightly as he passed her. "Next time Gongzhisuke comes, play with him, and ask him to help look after the store by the way." Awen didn't know how to answer.Gong Zhisuke sang and said with a smile on his face, "I will come again, please play with me." Ah Wen blushed, and Ah Can shouted loudly: "Xiu Zhisuke, see you next time!" "Sister Acan, see you next time!" Coming to the main road, Heishiro stretched his long chin even longer, and smiled maliciously: "It turns out that you can eat even those who are older than you." "Sister Acan seems to be very concerned about the moles on her face." There are many moles on Ah Can's face. "It's the first time we talked today, and you even asked about this kind of thing?" "How is it possible! No. Girls worry about their appearance, and they seldom talk about it." "Tell it like you understand it." Yukinosuke is very serious. "Sister Ah Chan often puts her hands on her face, especially her right cheek with many moles. I don't think she realizes it herself." "Things hidden deep in the heart will be manifested in behavior." Kuminosuke said. "The red house where Sister Feng is going to marry not only sells rouge, but also cosmetics. Among them is a 'beauty cream', which can whiten the skin. It is said that it is made from the excrement of the yellow warbler mixed with a secret family recipe." "But is it effective for moles?" "I don't know, maybe there are better things... I'll ask Sister Feng and give Sister Acan one. The last time Sister Feng came to look for Uncle and got lost, it seems that Sister Acan helped guide the way." Yukinosuke is much more thoughtful than I am, and he understands a girl's heart quite well.Should he be adopted as an adopted son before he is too smart to go astray and follow in the footsteps of Jin Yi?Heishiro thought. "We're going to Kandatacho next, aren't we, Uncle?" Tacho and Nabecho are areas with many dealers, but Ah Liu works in a small restaurant called 'Sand House'.Heishiro asked her to write down all the people who went in and out of Yuxipo Mansion and what happened there, and it was time to get it. "Ah Liu probably wrote it in hiragana, you can help me re-copy it afterward." "OK." "By the way, talk to Ah Liuduo. If you mention anything that makes you feel that something is wrong, write it down." "After Uncle asked, I don't think there should be anything to ask." Humility is a virtue. "However, Uncle, Aunt Ade's shop is doing really well!" How to get a business name?Yukinosuke asked again.Heishiro just sneezed, so he prevaricated. It is said that the sand house is behind a large straw sandal dealer called Ise house in 1-chome.Once I went there, Iseya was indeed a big merchant, and next door was a respectable tea tray merchant.White wooden tea boxes were piled up in the shop, and men in dark blue aprons rushed in and out. No matter what the reason is, it would be too pitiful if a public servant from the magistrate's office came to see Ah Liu, and the small restaurant that had just hired her would treat her differently. After confirming the location of the sand house, Heishiro asked Yumi nosuke to enter the restaurant, while he walked back to the tea tray merchant, thinking about buying some to take home if there is retail, when Ah Liu came. "Master, long time no see." Ah Liu's voice was brisk, and his expression was much more cheerful. "You look good." Gong Zhisuke followed behind her, only to see Ah Liu smiling happily. "What a cute little brother! Is it to help the uncle?" "It's my nephew. Yukinosuke, did you say hello to Liu?" "Not yet. Hello, Aunt Liu." Then he bowed.Ah Liu twisted his hands, quite happy. "Little brother, really, entered the sand house and said, 'Ah, why is Aunt Liu here! Long time no see.'" "I said, did you forget, auntie? I am Yusuke from Izutsuya in front of Hatchobori." Yumonosuke smiled. This is how he brought Ah Liu out, he is really a dexterous child. "The child's head is filled with oil, and it moves quickly and smoothly." Heishiro said with a smile. "Ah Liu, you and Famous Tea are really destined." On the tea tray merchant's signboard above, it says "Mingcha Jizhou Queen's Use" in a large and conspicuous manner. "Yes, when you smell the fragrant tea, you will think of your wife." As if the sun was too dazzling, Ah Liu narrowed his eyes with emotion. "Thanks to you, I have completely settled down here, and my children are fine." "That would be wonderful." Ah Liu reached out for his belt. "I wrote this according to my uncle's instructions. My handwriting is ugly, I'm really sorry. In order to make it easy for my uncle to pick it up at any time, I always carry it with me, making it crumpled..." Ah Liu took out the flattened paper, with her body temperature still slightly on it. "Thank you for your help." "I haven't read the content, so I don't know if I can help you, sir. If only I were as smart as my little brother, but my brain just doesn't work." Heishiro asked nonchalantly, "Is it delicious?" "what?" "Things from the sand house." Ah Liu smiled, and patted his chest hard. "Of course, I promise." The overpowering aroma of tea and the unbearable smell of stewed vegetables made Heishiro's stomach growl uncontrollably. "Pretend you don't know me and go in for a meal, won't it cause you trouble? Can Gongzhisuke ask you?" "Okay, of course." Ah Liu said as he took Yukinosuke's hand. "Little brother, you came just in time, there is still one portion of chestnut rice left at noon!" It seems that I don't have my share, whatever.Heishiro walked through the rope curtain, and the imposing "Welcome" greeted him. It was Jiubei who put Ah Liu here.The old man didn't know what kind of connection he had, but he knew such a good shop. Braised fresh fish fillets with a compelling aroma of sansan pepper, served with sesame mixed with green vegetables.Baked tofu drizzled with fresh fish gravy, and fava beans boiled loose and sweet in a small dish.The miso soup with scallion oil and tofu is hot, and it is a salty Joshu miso, which Heishiro also ate. It must be a pleasure to be a food seller.Heishiro frequently moved his chopsticks, thinking about it.Making delicious food will not only make the guests happy, but also feed themselves.People have to eat when they are alive. Once they are loved and cared for, as long as the store lives up to expectations, customers will miss it and come to the store often.The food will be gone once it enters the stomach, but the joy of eating delicious food will remain. The owner of the sand house and his wife are both skinny and dry, and there is only one Adezhong in total.But the two of them were very diligent, and they greeted the guests with a loud and energetic voice. I don't know where the strength came from for their flat stomachs.Ah Liu helped with a smile on her face, and the guests were also very kind to her. The guests at the same table seemed to be regular customers. At first, they were quite reserved, and they said "Thank you for your hard work", but after seeing Heishiro take a bite, everyone praised themselves one after another as if they had done their own work. .Sir, you can eat this too!No no no, how about this?Hey, Liu, do you still have the pickled grilled fish today?Hey, it's sold out!It was very lively. Yumminosuke was completely regarded as Ah Liu's guest, eating chestnut rice leisurely in the corner seat.Just by saying "Aunt Liu", you can pass here without hindrance. Oh, what a cute child, is this Ah Liu's?A guest gave a thumbs up and joked at Ah Liu.Ah Liu also responded: Yes, he is my beloved "Master", don't bully him!He also took advantage of the time between serving dishes to sit next to Gong Zhisuke, helped him pick the bones of grilled fish, and chatted happily while taking care of him. Accompanying Aoi to live a secluded life in the Yuxipo mansion is quiet and comfortable, but for Ah Liu, the busy and lively days like now are happiness, right? Aoi herself would like to live this kind of life again.Communicating with people, hosting business, ordering servants, answering questions, talking and laughing.I heard that she was like this in Beijing.Resting my frail body, I will have busy days waiting for me after I recover—she must have thought so too. I never thought that I would end my life in that way. Looking at the cheerful and diligent Ah Liu, Heishiro suddenly felt sad.Before, even when seeing Aoi's remains, she had never felt this way.Even I couldn't help but wonder why it was only here and now that I couldn't bear Kui's situation, and was saddened by Kui's regret? Is it because of the delicious food?Perhaps compared to any reason, compared to the rules of the world, the joy of eating delicious food is the most deeply felt and thought-provoking thing. Yeah, but— The murderer of Aoi was also eating somewhere at the moment.Delicious meal, warm meal, lively and joyful meal. Heishiro choked in the middle of belching.
