Gugugu~!
"..."
The two looked at each other, and Shoko Toyokawa's face turned red instantly.
The sound came from her stomach. As for why she was hungry, it was because she had simply eaten a rice ball from a convenience store since she got off work.
In fact, if it were any other day, it would probably be okay to just eat a rice ball, because at this time of day Toyokawa Shoko would have fallen asleep long ago and wouldn't feel hungry, and then she could make up for it by eating breakfast the next morning.
But the situation was a little different today. Because she had been chatting with Lu Li until now, her stomach started to growl.
"Ahem, Xiangzi, I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat something together. I'll treat you."
As soon as the gurgling sound came out, Lu Li immediately understood that the customer service Xiaoxiang must not have eaten enough today.
Alas, it can only be said that money can make a hero fall. Although I am also poor, I must show some manliness and treat Xiangzi to a meal at this time. At worst, I can get up early in the morning and work overtime at night to sell more crepes in the next few days.
Knowing that Lu Li was trying to save her by saying he was hungry, Toyokawa Xiangzi felt a little warm in her heart: "Lu Li, um, actually, I have a kitchen at home, and there are some food in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, I can make you something..."
Volume 1: Chapter 39: A little, a moderate amount, a little bit
Eating out is so expensive. Toyokawa Xiangzi knows that Lu Li's money is hard-earned money. How could she let Lu Li treat her? There should be some ingredients in her refrigerator. Although they are just the cheapest discounted ingredients she bought from the supermarket before, they are still edible.
"!"
"Xiangzi, do you have a kitchen at home?"
“Yes, yes…”
With a blushing face, Toyokawa Shoko pointed to a small cubicle in the corner that was a blind spot for vision: "There..."
Following the direction pointed by Toyokawa Shoko, Lu Li walked over and took a look.
The entire "kitchen" is only the size of a palm, and there are basically no kitchen utensils. It is questionable whether the entire kitchen has an area of more than two square meters.
Oh my goodness, this is a kitchen? Is this a centralized heating center for pre-prepared meals?
"Lu Li, I, I'll make something for you to eat."
Knowing that her current situation was difficult, Toyokawa Xiangzi was really embarrassed, but fortunately, she knew Lu Li's character. In the simulation, Lu Li never left her and never despised her. If she hadn't taken the initiative to make trouble, Lu Li would never have left her.
Toyokawa Shoko opened the small refrigerator, and the moment she opened it, Lu Li saw that more than 60% of the space in the already small old-fashioned refrigerator was filled with beer, and most of the remaining space was filled with some leftovers that were probably not finished before. Only a few fresh ingredients were placed in the small compartment at the bottom.
Of course, they are said to be fresh ingredients, but they are basically discounted items with very few varieties, just a little bit of unknown meat and a few potatoes.
"Lu Li, wait for me for a moment."
As she spoke, Shoko Toyokawa took out all the ingredients from the bottom compartment.
"..."
Lu Li immediately understood that these ingredients should be Xiangzi Toyokawa's portion for tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. Normally, she should eat the leftovers, but now because of him, Xiangzi planned to take out the "fresh ingredients" and eat them now.
"Xiangzi, wait a minute, let me do it."
Gently grabbing Toyokawa Shoko's hand and pulling her behind him, Lu Li took out the leftovers that Shoko hadn't finished eating from the refrigerator, removed the plastic wrap, and smelled them carefully.
Well, there is no strange smell. These should not be spoiled and can be eaten.
"Um...this is what I left over..."
Shoko Toyokawa looked shy, as these were the leftovers from her meal.
"It's okay, I'll borrow some other ingredients from you."
Although it was edible, the leftovers were not very nutritious. After taking out two potatoes from the compartment, Lu Li started to tinker with them. Maybe it was because Xiangzi himself was not very good at cooking, but the kitchen utensils he put out were really bad. Lu Li looked around but couldn't find even a tool for peeling potatoes, so he could only pick up a not-so-sharp kitchen knife to process the potatoes.
However, the kitchen knife in Xiangzi's house is really not easy to use. It is old and blunt. Lu Li seriously doubts that this thing will bring a debuff when it is used to chop the enemy, causing the enemy to lose blood every second.
"Lu Li, this!"
Seeing Lu Li start to peel potatoes, Toyokawa Xiangzi realized that her cooking skills were basically at the level of barely being able to cook something and throw it into her stomach. Her gambler father didn't cook, so there were very few kitchen utensils in the house.
Fortunately, the simulator had rewarded her with a set of kitchen knives, which she had hidden away. She originally thought that they would be of no use, but unexpectedly, they could actually be used now.
“This is a pretty good set of knives.”
"Buy something, draw a lottery, give it away..."
"That's pretty good luck."
Watching Xiangzi take out the knives for him, Lu Li tried them out. The quality of this set of knives was surprisingly good. Any one of them could kill Zhang Daquan.
"Xiangzi, can I have some of these noodles in the refrigerator?"
With a good knife, Lu Li quickly processed the potatoes, but potatoes alone were not enough, so Lu Li looked at a small bag of noodles in the refrigerator.
Hearing that Lu Li wanted to eat the bag of noodles she had bought earlier, Fengchuan Xiangzi immediately said: "Lu Li, that, it's not tasty..."
She bought these noodles not long ago at a very cheap price. She originally wanted to improve her diet, but her cooking skills were too poor and she could only barely cook the noodles. As for the taste, noodles were not a good thing because they were cheap, and she didn't know how to season them. The end result was the kind that required Liang Jingru's help to eat. So she kept this small bag of noodles in the refrigerator, thinking that she would use it to fill her stomach when she had nothing else to eat in the future.
Knowing what Toyokawa Shoko was worried about, Lu Li smiled and said, "Whether the noodles are delicious depends on the seasoning. Just look at me."
Then, under Toyokawa Shoko's surprised gaze, Lu Li spent about ten minutes to prepare a large pot of fragrant-smelling mixed noodles. When the prepared noodles were brought to Toyokawa Shoko and she tasted a bite, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on the girl's face.
This is so delicious!
"Does it taste okay?"
"good to eat!"
Compared to the hard-to-swallow noodles she made, the bowl of noodles Lu Li brought to her was so delicious that she couldn't believe it was the same bag of noodles. This time, not only the taste, but even the texture was different!
"How did you do it?"
"Just adjust the seasoning a bit, then pay attention to the cooking time. Let it cool down when it needs to, then hit the fusion card, and finally your big bowl of wide noodles is ready."
“And what about the taste?”
"The taste, oh, you are asking how to season it, right? It's simple, a little salt, some oil, some MSG and soy sauce, a little bit of ginger and garlic, and then..."
Toyokawa Shoko was silent.
A little? Just the right amount? Just a little? What kind of magical dosage units are these?
"what happened?"
"No, nothing. So Lu Li, you can cook?"
No wonder Lu left a restaurant at the end of the simulation. It turns out he can cook.
"A little bit."
After all, my buddy has bad teeth and can only eat soft rice. As the saying goes, if you want to conquer a beautiful girl, you must reach the stomach in one step. It doesn’t matter whether it is food or something else that reaches the stomach. The important thing is that it must reach the stomach!
After watching Toyokawa Shoko finish her meal and clear the dishes, Lu Li said goodbye to Toyokawa Shoko.
"Lu Li, um, will you still be in that park tomorrow?"
"Yes, that spot is pretty good. I won't be moving for a while."
"it is good!"
I don’t know if it was because she was full or because she was looking forward to tomorrow, but Toyokawa Shoko slept very soundly tonight, and this wonderful state continued until the next day. From going to school to going home from school, until she came out of school and went to the park to find Lu Li, Toyokawa Shoko’s face was filled with visible joy.
"Lu Li~ I'm here~"
When they arrived at the park, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't wait to greet Lu Li who was busy working, even though they were still more than ten meters apart. Lu Li, who was busy selling crepes, also waved to Toyokawa Shoko while working to indicate that he understood.
However, neither Lu Li nor Toyokawa Shoko noticed that at this moment, in the park, somewhere not far away from them, a pair of eyes were staring at them.
"Xiangzi-chan, so this is the reason why you left us..."
Volume 1: Chapter 40 It must be him!
"Xiangzi, aren't you working today?"
After taking care of the current wave of customers, Lu Li made an extra-large crepe and handed it to Toyokawa Shoko.
"I had a meal at your house last night, this is a thank you gift."
Taking the crepe that Lu Li handed to her, Toyokawa Shoko smiled happily. This guy, even after treating her to crepes, didn't forget to find a reason. His mind was really full of her...
"Today is the night shift, I'll be there soon." After taking a bite of the cold and delicious crepe, Toyokawa Shoko replied sweetly.
"You're still here to see me during the late shift. It must be tiring to take a detour."
"I'm not tired, I just wanted to come see you."
Is this Xiangzi in Bai Yueguang form? !
The moment Xiangzi finished speaking, Lu Li felt that he saw Tiga.
Rags! It's really rags!
"What's so interesting about a crepe seller like me? You should go to work early. The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and I have more customers. I don't have much time to greet you."
"Uh-huh."
Although she agreed to Lu Li, Toyokawa Shoko did not leave. Holding the crepe in her hand, Toyokawa Shoko found a chair and sat down. She did not disturb Lu Li, but sat aside quietly eating the crepe while watching Lu Li work, just like a wife waiting for her husband to finish work.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes passed. Although she had finished the crepe in her hand, Shoko Toyokawa did not leave. She continued to sit quietly and look at Lu Li until the alarm on her cell phone rang, reminding her that she would be late if she didn't leave. Only then did she reluctantly stand up from the chair.
"Lu Li, I, I'm going to work. Bye~"
"Be careful on the road, bye~"
After saying goodbye to Lu Li, Toyokawa Shoko hardened her heart and turned in a completely different direction.
It's okay. Although I didn't talk to Lu Li much today, she and Lu Li still have many tomorrows. She will work hard and try to set up the band. When she has money, she will definitely build a big house with a basement to take Lu Li away...
No, not this.
He should buy a big house for Lu Li to live in, so that he doesn’t have to work so hard selling crepes!
"There's still half an hour left before the clock-in time, so I should be able to make it..."
After looking at the time, Shoko Toyokawa hurried towards her company, but just as she walked out of the park, suddenly, a figure blocked her way.
"Shoko-chan!"
"!"
Seeing the person blocking her way, Toyokawa Shoko frowned. It was her again.
"..."
It was almost time to punch in, and Shoko Toyokawa didn't want to pay attention to the person in front of her, so she pretended not to see him and walked past him.
"Xiangzi-chan, wait for me!"
However, the person standing in front of Toyokawa Shoko did not want her to leave.
"Xiangzi-chan, can we have a proper talk?"
Have a good talk?
Hearing the other party's words, Toyokawa Shoko frowned even more.
What's there to talk about? Are you talking about returning to crychic and continuing to play the girl band that plays like a family?
Looking back at the other person, Toyokawa Shoko suppressed her emotions and said, "Nagasaki Suyo, I have officially withdrawn from crychic. I don't think there is anything to discuss between us."
"Xiangzi-chan, let's talk. Tell me why you want to quit crychic. Are you facing any problems? I can help you!"
"help me?"
Shoko Toyokawa looked at the person in front of her with strange eyes.
help?
Does this so-called help mean stopping her and wasting her time, making her potentially late for work and having her already meager salary deducted?
Or did the text message bombardment cause her phone bill to increase several times this month?
If she hadn't realized something was wrong and blocked the other party sooner, her phone bill this month might have increased by another 30%.
