A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

But he suspected that Chabashi Sae was not careful, but lazy.

For a normal person, when hearing the sound of an unfamiliar car outside, he or she will become alert and wonder if a stranger is visiting.

But when they came in, the other party was still lying on the table, and didn't even think of leaning over to confirm.

She looked like a lifeless salted fish, which was not consistent with her temperament.

"Are you hungry now?"

At this time, Gui Longyuan's voice came from the kitchen, and it was obvious that he was talking to him.

"Are you going to make me anything?" Although he wasn't very hungry, he didn't mind having a midnight snack.

"correct."

"Eh~" With a subtle sigh, Uesugi Genshin held his face with both hands and looked at Kiryuin Kaede who was wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.

Her current behavior was completely different from her bellicosity just now, and the contrast really shocked him.

"I didn't expect you to be so cute."

"Oh, you just realized it?"

Chapter 30: -year-old Obasan

The layout of a small izakaya is basically universal, with rows of seats facing the kitchen and small individual tables against the wall.

Sitting in the horizontal seat, Uesugi Genshin could clearly see her movements in the kitchen. Of course, they were just movements. Because of the height difference, Uesugi Genshin had no idea what kind of food she was cooking.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're cute before?"

"No, you are the first." Spreading out his left hand and shaking it up and down, Guilongyuan Fenghua seemed to be telling you that you can be complacent, and he also showed a proud look.

"Impossible." Uesugi Genshin laughed out loud, "When you were a child, your parents must have praised you for being cute."

Normally, the first people to say they love you are also your parents.

"Hmph~" She snorted coldly, "Are you looking for trouble?!"

"Sorry, sorry." Uesugi Genshin laughed and took off his coat and put it on the seat on the right.

It is a bit cold at the beach at night, but when you get away from the beach and go into the house, it becomes a bit hot.

Along with the crackling sound of burning flames, an aroma of grease spread from the kitchen, and the first to smell it were those who were sitting closest to them.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Have you invited any guests?" Uesugi Genshin turned his head and looked at the door, where the voice came from.

"How is that possible? Occasionally, there are people who come uninvited, but they can't be called guests." Continuing with her hand movements, Kiryuin Kaede briefly raised her head and called out to Chabashira Sae, "Sae-chan, go clean it up."

But Chabashira Sae did not make any move to stand up, and instead shook the hand on his raised arm left and right, indicating his refusal.

"Ha..." Guilongyuan Fenghua sighed intentionally for her to hear, but in the end, she was still indifferent.

The people outside the door seemed to be sure that there was someone inside, and the knocks became louder, more frequent, and noisier.

In the originally quiet environment, such discordant noise appeared.

"I'll go." There were three people in total, and Guilongyuan Fenghua couldn't leave, so he had to go by himself.

"So reliable." Guilongyuan Fenghua praised with a smile.

Uesugi Genshin drew out his sword, held it in his backhand, walked to the door, stopped to confirm whether there was only one sound outside.

And Guilongyuan Fenghua poked her head out from the kitchen and watched his actions with great interest.

Open the door.

push out.

cut.

But when he went out, he closed the door with his backhand. Guilongyuan Fenghua shook her head helplessly and looked down at the food she had prepared on the way.

After more than ten seconds, the door reopened.

"I threw the body next door." After all, it was a very disgusting thing to have a smelly corpse at the door while eating.

And Uesugi Genshin sat back in his seat. Well, the seat was still hot.

He turned his head to look at the person sitting next to him. Chabashira Sae was still lying there, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Leaning back, you can see the weapon at her feet, an iron baseball bat.

In other words, she can also fight. Most of the time in the past, she was responsible for cleaning up the wandering zombies.

After a while, Kiryuin Kaede placed the plates in front of the table, his portion together with Chabashirasae's.

"Sorry for the wait." She said something that only a big shot in the store would say, "Salt-grilled saury."

"Fish?" Uesugi Genshin tilted his head in confusion.

"I'll go get the rice later." Guilongyuan Fenghua stretched out her finger, then turned around to get the heated rice.

"Is it only fish?" He remembered that the Advanced Breeding High School also used fish as its main food.

He himself had no complaints.

The roasted crispy skin and golden brown outer skin make this salt-roasted saury very appetizing at first sight.

But he didn't expect that the other party had been eating fish at school for a month and still hadn't gotten tired of it.

"Ha, because the other ingredients have basically been eaten." Guilongyuan Fenghua also placed two bowls of rice on the table.

However, the two bowls were placed on his side, not on Chabashira Sae's side, and the portion of saury was still on top of Chabashira Sae.

"After all, we have been here for half a month. Except for frozen food, most of the ingredients in the izakaya are purchased on the same day."

In other words, there were not many fresh ingredients stored here, and the livestock meat had been eaten up in the previous few days.

After saying that, she knocked on Chabashira Sae's table in the kitchen and shouted, "Chabashira-sensei, at least eat something if you drink."

After hearing what Kiryuin said, Chabashira Sae, who was lying on the ground with his head down, slowly raised his head and took away his share of saury.

She first reached out and shook the bottle, then held it in the air and shook it in front of Guilongyuan to indicate that it was gone.

"Yes~Yes~" Guilongyuan Fenghua sighed deeply and took another pot of wine from the back, "I've heated it up for you."

"Would you like some? Ah, come to think of it, I don't even know your name."

“…”Didn’t he introduce himself?

He casually drew his name in the air, "Uesugi Genshin, and I won't drink."

There could be danger outside at any time, and he had to go back, so how could he drink?

"Is that so?" Guilongyuan Fenghua nodded. She was just asking casually.

Uesugi Genshin picked up the chopsticks, picked up the greasy fish body, put it into his mouth, and it was hot and soft.

But he saw that the tea waiter Sae, who was sitting next to him, actually picked up the fish's entrails, which were very bitter.

When Japanese people eat saury, they do not remove the internal organs. Sometimes the meat of saury is bitter because of the internal organs, but people here believe that this bitterness is the "essence of saury."

Seeing her put it into her mouth, he frowned slightly.

It is indeed bitter! Just looking at Uesugi Genshin makes me feel bitter.

Chabashira Sae picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.

It seems that she used the liver as a snack.

After taking a bite of rice, Uesugi Genshin looked at Gui Longyuan in the kitchen and asked, "What are you still busy with?"

It was clearly already prepared, so he took down the portion that Gui Longyuan had made for her, which was saury and rice.

"Wait, it will be ready soon." She looked up and said, and the next second the sizzling sound of frying came from the kitchen.

After a while, she brought two more dishes.

"Thick-cut fried ham." She named the dish again.

Flour, egg liquid and breadcrumbs, after coating anything with these three ingredients, it will taste delicious no matter what you fry.

Then she took off her apron, walked out of the kitchen, and brought over two drinks.

"Since you don't drink alcohol, then drink oolong tea." Guilongyuan Fenghua placed a cup of amber liquid on his table, while her own cup was transparent, which should be water.

Let him drink oolong tea and you drink water?

"......" Uesugi Genshin felt suspicious, or he was very sensitive to the word "oolong tea".

After thinking for a while, he turned to Chabashira Sae and said, "Can I borrow a light?"

The other person glanced at him, then reached into his pocket, took out a lighter, placed it on the table and swiped it across.

Taking the lighter, Uesugi Genshin lit the fire and circled it around the rim of the cup.

Well, there was no fire.

It is safe.

"What are you doing?" He looked at her as if he was a lunatic, and Guilongyuan Fenghua thought he wanted to smoke.

"I'm afraid this cup of oolong tea is flammable."

"How can oolong tea be flammable?" She sneered as if she had heard a huge joke.

Even Chabashi Sae couldn't help but look up at him.

"I'm gonna start now."

Even someone like Kiryuin Kaedeka would still say politely, "I'm starting," which made Uesugi Genshin understand her a little better.

However, the thick-cut fried ham at the back, although a square, was cut into three triangles, and the shape looked very nice.

It was supposed to be a rectangular block like luncheon meat, but it is not luncheon meat after all.

It is just a cube of ham and there is no essential difference between it and sausage.

"What's wrong? Is it not delicious?" Looking at Uesugi Genshin looking at the fried ham for a while, Guilongyuan Fenghua asked casually.

“It still tastes like ham.”

"Because it's ham!" Guilongyuan Fenghua thought he asked a stupid question, "I think I did a good job, you see."

She picked up a piece and placed it in front of Uesugi Genshin, "The cross section looks nice, doesn't it?"

Orange outer layer and pink inner layer.

No! The key is to eat it! Uesugi Genshin disagreed.

The crispy edges are the most delicious, which speaks volumes: as long as you coat it with the three fried foods, even fried slippers will be delicious.

The ham in the fried ham, as the name suggests, is actually a ham sausage, a square ham sausage.

The most essential difference between it and luncheon meat is that the meat content of luncheon meat is basically more than 70%, and the main ingredients are beef and pork, with various spices added. The reason for its storage resistance is also the sterile environment formed after high-temperature sterilization, so it can be stored for a long time.

Ham sausage is very casual. Most of its ingredients are usually starch, and it has a long shelf life because a lot of additives are added to it.

"There's no luncheon meat here." Guilongyuan Fenghua interrupted him with a knife. She was obviously the one who cooked. "If it were you, what would you do?"

"Fry it and then make it into fried rice." Uesugi Genshin thought for a moment and said.

"Yeah, it's good." Guilongyuan Fenghua nodded appreciatively, "Make it for me when you have the chance, whether you use ham or luncheon meat."

"Well, there may be a chance." Uesugi Genshin smiled from the side.

In the middle of eating, Uesugi Genshin put down his chopsticks and looked to the left, "Speaking of which, Chabare-sensei, how did you and Kiryuin know each other?"

Seeing her drinking gurglingly and looking drunk, Uesugi Genshin wanted to find something to say.

I saw Chabashi Sae leaning back, her full chest protruding even more, but that was all. She had no intention of speaking at all. I didn't know if she was drunk and didn't hear me, or if she was just too lazy to answer.

"..."

"Hey, Sae-san, I'm asking you a question." Kaedeka Kiryuin shouted from the side.

Then Chabashira Sae turned his face towards this side, raised his chin and pointed at Kiryuin Kaede, meaning that he wanted Kiryuin to speak.

"Ha..." Guilongyuan Fenghua smiled helplessly: "It was just an encounter. I was looking for a place with relatively few zombies and food nearby, and then I happened to meet Xiao Zuozhi."
