Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Oh?" Yuigahama Yui asked curiously, "What did you figure out?"

"The relationship between them."

Yuigahama Yui blinked: "The new question is..."

Saki Kawasaki: "When are they... going to get back together?"

Volume 6: Chapter 221 Friendly Sponsorship

The regular exams lasted a week, and after a short weekend, it was time for the execution.

The test results will be announced on Monday, and classes will be spent distributing and reviewing the test papers.

Dong Yunshan didn't feel anything about this. He was no longer at the age where his emotions would fluctuate because of test scores.

Yuigahama Yui was very excited to share her learning results with everyone, which aroused waves of admiration.

Saki Kawasaki had a complicated expression. A few days of study could not make up for the lack of staying up late to work and being late before, but her grades did not decline, and even improved a little.

Test-taking skills really do help.

If we go to the activity room in the afternoon, I'm afraid Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino will kiss... and quarrel again.

But unlike usual, after lunch break, it is time for workplace internship.

The students visited the places they had contacted in advance to get in touch with the rules of the workplace in advance.

Although they were said to be in groups of three, there were actually several groups operating together. The team consisting of Hayato Hayama and Yumiko Miura made up a total of five groups.

Dong Yunshan did not join in the fun. He teamed up with Totsuka Ayaka and another boy from the class and went around the factories near the school.

As for my thoughts... For someone like Dong Yunshan, who has actually experienced the workplace, just a glance is enough to easily see the darkness hidden beneath the warm surface.

Anyone is welcome to join – many people leave because it’s so hard;

A workplace as warm as a family - the company is full of the boss's relatives;

Very competitive salary – it’s hard to find a lower salary than here;

Flexible working hours – start work on time and leave work at any time;

Leading a project independently is challenging - you have to take the blame if something goes wrong;

Able to handle multiple business lines independently - taking on more responsibilities;

There are all sorts of hidden benefits—really hidden…

Although it was just a formality, it was not without gain.

The next day, there was a smoothie machine in the service club.

Yuigahama Yui looked at the brand new smoothie machine in disbelief: "You said... this was a gift from the factory?"

"Yes." Dong Yunshan nodded. "I briefly described the situation of the service club to the person in charge, and they gave me a smoothie machine."

Hikigaya Komachi looked suspicious: "What did you say?"

Dong Yunshan said calmly, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Yukinoshita Yukino vaguely guessed something and narrowed her cold eyes slightly: "The Service Club is just an ordinary club."

Dong Yunshan shook his finger. "To be precise, it's a youth-empowered problem-solving center, a builder of a sustainable growth ecosystem, and a social adaptability rehearsal base for an empowerment system connected to a regional youth development think tank."

Kawasaki Saki was stunned: "Then teach a man to fish..."

Dong Yunshan responded fluently: "We will use methodological transfer to replace transactional assistance, catalyze young people's ability to solve problems independently, establish a solution-derivative system, transform help-seeking cases into reusable experience modules, reconstruct the underlying logic of campus mutual assistance culture, and output a formula for empowering young people's independent growth."

"Is the Servant Club really that powerful?" Yuigahama Yui's eyes were filled with confusion. "It's not very famous. The clients were introduced by teachers. Oh, and other clients as well."

Dong Yunshan: "A silent problem-solving hub and a demonstration base for campus word-of-mouth fission, it builds a decentralized empowerment network, drives natural dissemination with the effectiveness of solutions, and pioneers a demand-triggered response mechanism. Through teacher hub nodes, it accurately targets key needs and establishes invisible service channels. Solutions reach demand terminals without disrupting the campus ecosystem, achieving exponential growth in service coverage under a zero-active publicity operation model."

"It seems to be like this...but it also seems not to be like this." Hikigaya Komachi murmured, "Isn't this just a fancy way of saying it?"

East Spruce Pat Smoothie Maker: "And then that statement led us to get a smoothie machine."

"Rather than them believing you and providing the Servant Club with a smoothie machine..." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, "I think it's more likely that they felt your ability to talk nonsense in a serious manner was exactly what they needed, so they gave you one."

"No matter what they think, I've got the smoothie machine anyway." Dong Yunshan rubbed his chin. "The weather is getting hotter lately, so I can just make some cool drinks at the service club."

"This is just a smoothie machine." Yukino Yukinoshita reminded, "To make smoothies, you need ice."

“So I also talked to other factories in the park, and the ice machine will arrive tomorrow.”

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but sigh: "This is a rewarding workplace internship."

Hikigaya Komachi: “…” This kind of harvest?

Saki Kawasaki seemed thoughtful. She had enjoyed a lot of snacks in the service club these days, and she was still thinking about how to give back.

Now that she has the tools, she can use her experience in bartending to make some drinks for everyone.

But Kawasaki Saki didn't expect that Azuma Yunshan was even more enthusiastic about this than she was.

After the service club had an ice maker and a smoothie machine, Dong Yunshan prepared a lot of tools.

Strawberries, ice cubes, cold-brewed jasmine tea, blended into a smoothie using a smoothie machine, will make a large cup of strawberry smoothie.

But it’s not over yet. Dong Yunshan used cheese, cream and milk, added sugar and salt, beat it into yogurt, and poured it on the smoothie.

Dong Yunshan nodded contentedly: "Try it."

"So beautiful..." The first thing Yuigahama Yui noticed was the appearance of the drink.

The bright red of the strawberry, after being crushed, presents a gradient from bottom to top, interwoven with the whiteness of the clouds and snow above, and the faint light reflected by the tiny ice crystals, presenting a dreamlike beauty.

Hikigaya Komachi was wary of what Azuma Yunshan added to the top, but under Azuma Yunshan's expectant gaze, she mustered up the courage to take a bite: "Hmm... a very rich milky aroma, sweet and salty."

Yukinoshita Yukino also took a bite: "Is this... from the ranch before?"

"I call it milk cap. I was researching this when I was eating cheese there." Azuma Yunshan nodded, confirming Yukinoshita Yukino's guess. "Try the strawberry smoothie below."

Yuigahama Yui picked up the straw prepared by Azuma Yunshan, put it under the cup, and took a light sip: "Uh... quite, quite refreshing."

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan noticed something unusual.

Yukinoshita Yukino also took a sip and gave a very accurate description: "It doesn't taste good."

"Strawberry tea... and they're brewing it straight away." Kawasaki Saki sighed. "The strawberries aren't sweet enough, and the flavors don't blend in at all with the tea. It might as well be jam instead."

Volume 6: Chapter 222: Gifted

"No... I used fresh strawberries, and they tasted worse than jam?" Dong Yunshan took a bite, "...and they really didn't taste as good as jam."

"If you want to use fresh strawberries, you can add some jam and a few strawberries." Saki Kawasaki gave professional advice. "Also, the tea should be stronger. After adding ice cubes, the concentration is not enough, which further dilutes the strawberry flavor. You also need to add some syrup."

Dong Yunshan took out syrup and strawberry jam from the bag: "You come."

"Everything is already prepared..." Kawasaki Saki couldn't understand, "Why don't you just use it?"

"I just want to taste the real stuff..." Dong Yunshan sighed, "It seems it's not that easy."

"The syrup and jam are made with real ingredients too." Kawasaki Saki tasted a few of the ingredients and then got busy, easily replicating the steps that Dong Yunshan had just followed and completing the process. "I'm not sure what flavor you're going for, but I'll try it out according to my idea first."

Dong Yunshan tasted the milk cap and nodded, then took a sip of the strawberry smoothie. His eyes lit up, and he poured it directly without a straw and drank the milk cap and smoothie together, nodding with satisfaction.

Finally, he used a straw to mix the milk cap and smoothie together and took another big sip.

Dong Yunshan closed his eyes, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face.

"Is it so delicious..." Hikigaya Komachi saw a series of changes in Azuma Yunshan's expression and tasted the milk cap made by Kawasaki Saki.

I just thought the milk tea made by Dong Yunshan was quite delicious, but now after taking a sip of the milk cap made by Saki Kawasaki, I immediately realized the differences between people.

If the milk cap made by Dong Yunshan is a mixture of several ingredients, then the milk cap made by Kawasaki Saki is a fusion of several flavors, achieving a delicate balance.

The sweet and salty flavors are mixed with a rich milky aroma, flowing smoothly in the mouth with a long aftertaste.

Yuigahama Yui took a sip of the smoothie. The tiny ice crystals melted in her mouth. The distinct strawberry grains had a rich taste, with the fragrance of jasmine tea and the sweetness of fresh fruit. When she bit them gently, there was just the right amount of sourness to relieve the greasiness.

Yukinoshita Yukino followed Azuma Yunshan's example and drank the milk cap and smoothie together. The aroma of milk and fruit intertwined and blended with the fragrance of tea, stimulating each other and presenting a layered taste.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Saki Kawasaki also tried different ways of drinking it. Finally, she mixed the milk cap and smoothie together and drank it in one gulp. The two feelings of refreshing and richness burst out in her mouth at the same time, spreading joyfully and dispelling the heat.

The warmth of the milk cap and the coolness of the strawberry collide in your mouth, and in the salty and sweet aftertaste, you can also catch a hint of jasmine fragrance, just like the breeze after a summer rain blowing through a strawberry field full of blooming flowers.

After all, having worked as a bartender, Kawasaki Saki's sensitivity to drinks far surpassed others. While marveling at the wonderful taste, she immediately made a professional judgment: "This can definitely be sold in the store."

"The premise is that you do it." Dong Yunshan calmed down and frankly acknowledged the differences between people. "I guessed you could do it, but I didn't expect it to be this good."

At the bar, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others ordered sparkling water, while Azuma Yunshan asked Saki Kawasaki to make a Sunset Roller.

He was particularly impressed by the smoky oolong tea that Saki Kawasaki added to it.

Many people's Sunset Rollercoaster tunes are just for show.

The focus is on the shape of the sunset, while the feeling of speeding is ignored.

The smoked oolong tea added by Saki Kawasaki perfectly presents the texture of a speeding car. The heaviness in the sweet taste is like the dust raised by a car driving in the sunset, with a rough texture.

Come to think of it, it makes sense.

Just because bars don’t allow minors to work late at night doesn’t mean they’ll hire anyone who’s an adult. It still depends on their ability.

Saki Kawasaki has to go to class during the day, and minors are not allowed to drink, so she doesn't know much about alcohol.

Even so, she was able to become a formal bartender, which is enough to prove her talent in this area.

"Your idea is better." Kawasaki Saki savored the milk cap carefully. "This is the first time I've seen it done this way."

"Innovation is what we need." Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Is there any room for further improvement?"

"It's best to choose strawberries with medium to high sweetness and a soft acidity to counteract the richness of the cheese topping. They should also have a richer aroma to enhance the layering," Saki Kawasaki offers professional advice. "The fruit should be large and firm so that it retains some grain after blending. Ideally, they should be 80% to 90% ripe to avoid overripeness that will cause the flesh to become loose. You can also add lemon juice or raspberries or blueberries to enhance the acidity."

Azuma Yunshan looked directly at Yukinoshita Yukino: "Are there any suitable strawberries in Chiba Prefecture?"

"Strawberries aren't Chiba Prefecture's most iconic specialty, but it's an important strawberry-producing area," Yukinoshita recalls. "As for the main varieties, the Tochigi-shoujo, native to Tochigi Prefecture, is grown here. Its firm flesh is durable for transportation... There's also the large, bright red Hongyan, which has a balanced sweet and sour flavor and a rich aroma, making it suitable for eating directly... And then there's the Akihime, which has an elongated fruit, high sweetness, low acidity, and a soft texture."

"It sounds like Hongyan is more suitable..." Dong Yunshan secretly noted, "How about tea? Do you have any better suggestions?"

"It's best if the tea is light and refreshing, not overpowering, with a delicate aroma that complements the strawberry flavor and rich milk cream," Kawasaki Saki pondered. "The delicate fragrance of jasmine tea is a good choice. After all, the floral and fruity notes complement each other naturally, enhancing the aroma's complexity. But if you're looking for flavor, genmaicha is also a good choice. It's a blend of sencha and roasted brown rice, with a unique nutty, burnt aroma and a mild tea flavor. Sencha also has a refreshing herbal aroma that complements the strawberry flavor, while its astringency balances the sweetness of the milk cream. Of course, choose a lightly roasted sencha to avoid overpowering bitterness."

Azuma Yunshan turned his gaze to Yukinoshita Yukino: "Chiba..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yukinoshita Yukino guessed what he was thinking.

"Jasmine tea isn't a specialty of Chiba Prefecture, but Saitama Prefecture does have it. Genmaicha is a common type, available in most places. Some tea factories in Chiba Prefecture use local rice to make genmaicha, such as Isumi Genmaicha. Sencha is produced in a small number of tea plantations in southern Chiba Prefecture. It has a fresh and refreshing taste with a slight astringency and a noticeable sweet aftertaste." Yukinoshita Yukino listed everything like the back of her hand, and finally looked up at Azuma Yunshan, "So, you're taking on commissions again?"

Volume 6: Chapter 223 Ends Early

"To be more precise, it's the aftermath of an old commission."

The sound of rain pattered outside the window. Yuigahama Yui recalled Azuma Yunshan's previous answer and turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino beside her: "Xiao Yukino, have you noticed that Yunshan has been less in the activity room recently?"

Indeed... Saki Kawasaki flipped through her notebook.

Although she had not been in the service club for long, she had clearly noticed that Dong Yunshan had only stayed in the service club occasionally for a while and then left on his own.

Her time in the Service Club is not even as long as that of Hikigaya Komachi of the Film Research Club.

"Didn't he say that?" Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the book in her hand and answered without looking up, "He's doing the aftermath of an old commission."

"That's what I said..." Yuigahama Yui supported her chin, "But weren't the commissions he took on in the past completed quickly? Why is it that this time..."

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes slightly: "Maybe this commission is more complicated, or more important."

"Huh?" Yuigahama Yui didn't know if it was because of the weather, but she felt that Yukinoshita Yukino's expression was a little gloomy. "Xiao Yukino, don't you know what he's been busy with lately?"

Yukinoshita Yukino flipped the pages of the book: "Why should I know?"

"Huh?" Yuigahama Yui was stunned.

My ex was like this.

Saki Kawasaki quickly understood the situation that Yuigahama Yui could not understand.

Two people who have had an intimate relationship will inevitably pay attention to each other after they separate.

But, after all, that is just a thing of the past.

After breaking up, as an ex, even if you want to interfere, you have no right to do so.
