The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 27 New Year’s Eve Soba Noodles

Ritsu Sasashima, who was waiting at the door of the toilet, was playing with his phone and received an email from Rei Fuktani.

[Rei Fangtani: Ritsu, I heard that guy from Matsuda say you went to Rice Flower Town? ]
His long fingers were tapping the keyboard quickly. It was probably Mr. Hagiwara who was still squatting in the toilet and was reporting to his friend Matsuda on his mobile phone.

However, Jiang Gu can use his mobile phone, so he went out too?
[Sasashima Ritsu: Well, you’re not in school? ]
[Rei Furuya: Yes, Matsuda and I are shopping outside. Let’s go to the popular soba restaurant in Asahi Town for dinner later. If we don’t have a New Year’s Eve event, we must at least eat New Year’s Soba. ]
[Sasashima Ritsu: Okay, I will tell them. ]
After replying to the text message, I finally saw Kenji Hagiwara coming out of the toilet clutching his buttocks. His expression seemed to be not full of fun... I have to say that the acting was pretty good, and Sasashima didn't suspect it.

"Furuya and the others said they were going to have soba noodles for dinner."

"Hmm? Sure, hot buckwheat soup is the most enjoyable in winter!"

After talking and laughing, he returned to the jewelry store and noticed that Datehang was already standing in front of the store.

Sasashima looked down. His hands were empty. Thinking of the prices of the diamond rings he had just tried, was it because they were too expensive that he could not buy them?

When Datehang saw the two people coming back, he took the initiative to stir up the conversation and said, "Let's go upstairs and see if there are any sports shoes. Recently, physical training has increased, and the wear rate of shoes has also increased."

"Okay, I happen to want to see the shoes too."

Hagihara Kenji took the topic as it came, then put his hand on Sasashima's shoulder and rode the escalator upstairs.

The three of them were choosing shoes in a sports goods store on the second floor. When the two of them weren't paying attention, Ritsu Sasashima said, "I'm going to the bathroom," and hurriedly left and went to the jewelry store on the first floor.

After the female shopping guide said "Welcome", she noticed that it was the cold cat guy from before. She smiled and asked: "Sir, did you forget something in the store?"

Staring at the several diamond rings I tried in the glass display case, Ida would feel burdened if she bought one that was too expensive, and it seemed that one that was too cheap was not suitable as a diamond ring for a proposal. After thinking about it several times, Sasashima pointed out that the price was about average. The rose gold diamond ring.

"Please give me this ring. What's the size of the finger I just tried on?"

"It's #15."

"Then give me the 14#, thank you."

The female shopping guide blinked her eyes twice. This handsome guy was too decisive when buying rings. He likes customers like this... But why do handsome guys with good looks have girlfriends? 嘤嘤嘤╥﹏╥.

Ritsu Sasashima, who was misunderstood to have a girlfriend, calmly took out his gold card from his wallet, quickly swiped the money and put the ring box into his handbag, and gave it to monitor Date when he went back to the dormitory to be alone at night.

He quickly ran back to the sports goods store on the second floor. The round trip only took less than 4 minutes. Sasashima Ritsu also bought himself two pairs of sports shoes.
.
I took the subway from Mika Town back to Asahi Town, Fuchu City, and through the address sent by Rei Furitan, I finally found this inconspicuous shop in the 3-chome alley of Asahi Town.

[First Generation] is the name of this store, which sounds like it has been in business for many years.

Rei Fangtani, who was standing at the door waiting for them, exhaled into his frozen hands and said, "You are finally here. Come in quickly."

The air outside and inside were completely opposite, and the warm feeling lifted their moods a lot. They came to sit on the tatami near the corner, and Zhufu Jingguang immediately poured them a cup of warm Genmai tea.

The faint aroma of tea is mixed with the smell of fried rice. The bitterness of the tea leaves is very light, but it is a bit sweet.

Naturally, I ordered their signature soba noodle shop because it was New Year's Eve and the shop was packed with people.Matsuda, Hagiwara and Date chose the set meal of cold hand-made soba noodles with yam paste, while the other three chose wild vegetable soup soba noodles with tempura.

"Three bowls of wild vegetable soba noodles with tempura, please be patient!"

The clear soup base of the soba noodles contains a lot of wild vegetables, exuding a delicate fragrance.Sasashima Ritsu picked up the noodle bowl and took a small sip of the noodle soup. The soup was not greasy and very refreshing. It should be a soup stock made from ingredients such as bonito and kombu.

The wild vegetables are very fresh and the noodles are very chewy. Put the freshly ground wasabi in the small plate and the spiciness will sublimate the whole bowl of soba noodles. This kind of excitement is just right.

"Huh, as expected, you still have to eat hot soup soba noodles in winter, and your body warms up instantly." Rei Fukutani sighed after swallowing the noodles in his mouth.

"Cold soba noodles are king, right? Paired with mashed yam, it's really...wow! It's so delicious!" Matsuda Jinpei quickly stirred the mashed yam, then put the soba noodles dipped in the cold noodle soup into it and covered it with mashed yam. Then he put it into his mouth, and the silky texture made him want to stop.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was studying the dishes as usual. He really loved studying food.

Sasashima Ritsuan quietly tasted the soba noodles, and then pinched his chopsticks to the golden fried tempura shrimp. He likes to put his favorite things first, because he is afraid that he will be full I couldn't eat it until the end.

If you forcefully eat something, even if you like it, it will become unpalatable.

The coating of the tempura fried shrimp is very thin, and the frying temperature is very good. It is crispy and not greasy at the same time. The shrimp meat is elastic and firm. You can even imagine that they must have been athletes in life, otherwise the meat quality would not be so good.

Apart from fried shrimp, Sasashima's favorite is pumpkin tempura. The crispy outside and glutinous texture match the sweetness of pumpkin. Adding a little salt will enhance the sweetness and make it even more delicious.

"ごちそうさまでした."

I'm stuffed.

Sasajima Ritsu sipped the brown rice tea and continued to watch the other people adding more dishes. Obviously, the portions at the restaurant outside were far from enough to fill their stomachs for those who were used to the large portions in the cafeteria.

Especially the most delicious one, Matsuda Jinpei, finished two portions of soba noodles and also ate more than half a bowl of tempura rice bowl. In terms of eating, it was indeed a massive meal... at least for Sasashima, that was the case.

"Don't eat too much. It's New Year's Eve tonight, so on the way back, you must buy some beer and snacks that are necessary to watch the festival." Hagiwara Kenji warned.

"You are planning to watch the Red and White Song Contest...Who will be there this year?"

"I don't know, but I support the red side unconditionally."

Zhu Fu Jingguang asked in confusion: "Why do you support the red side?"

Rei Fukutani, who had already seen the cast list, calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Maybe it's because the host of the red side is Nakama Yukie, right?"

"Hey, Xiao Fangtani, you understand me very well. Yukie is a super beauty~so beautiful that she feels fierce!"

Ritsu Sasashima glanced at the five people who were excitedly discussing Kohaku and interrupted: "We don't have the equipment to watch Kohaku. Do we have to go to an Internet cafe?"

Matsuda Jinpei smiled and shook his fingers and said, "Hey, don't worry about this. Fang Gu and I have already said hello to Instructor Onizuka and lent us a TV, which is placed on the rooftop."

"I see."

"Now that you've finished eating, hurry up and leave. Kohaku is about to start!"

"Go Go!"
