Chapter 1797: Meet Again
On both sides of the main road of the school, there are all kinds of food stalls, and there are a lot of people who patronize them, and people come and go, and it is indeed as lively as the school festival.
The people who set up the shops and stalls are all students of Ochanomizu University, and the young and invincible girls are a sight in themselves, not to mention the various snacks that look tempting and smell very good.
"Brother Koji, I want to eat takoyaki. Yuko Sawai grabbed someone's hand, perhaps because she was especially active on a university campus in Tokyo.
"Where's Xiao Lu?" Li Xuehao looked at Sawai Green on the other side.
"Sister, you want to eat too, right?" said Yuko Sawai flatteringly.
"Then eat it. Glancing at his sister, Midori Sawai nodded.
The trio of them sat down in front of a specialty takoyaki stall, similar to the counter, where guests could enjoy a delicious takoyaki while admiring the owner's craftsmanship.
Takoyaki, also known as takoyaki balls, is a popular street fast food by adding flour to soup and seasoning, and then mixing small pieces of octopus with ingredients such as chopped ginger and chopped green onions, and frying them into balls, about the size of an ordinary ping-pong ball.
The most important thing is that those who cook takoyaki must be quick to pour the batter into a special grinding mold, wait until the bottom is condensed and firm, and then quickly turn it over with a bamboo skewer and turn it into a ball-shaped shape.
This step is the most critical, because if it is not done well, the octopus balls will fall apart. As long as this step is done, all that remains is to turn the balls over in a loop until they are golden on both sides.
The stall is set up by two female college students, who look relatively ordinary, but the skills are really good, maybe they have studied deliberately, the speed is fast and steady, and it is very pleasing to the eye.
The trio ordered an takoyaki and watched the whole cooking process for themselves.
When the octopus is fried and served on a plate, the female student pours a little teriyaki sauce on top, then a salad dressing, and finally a sprinkle of chopped seaweed and bonito flakes.
Each serving is six takoyaki in two rows, served on small white rectangular plates, and placed in front of the three people.
"Haha, I'm going to go!" Yuko Sawai folded her hands, then grabbed a bamboo skewer and picked one to eat.
"Ah, hot ......" just took a bite and immediately screamed in pain.
The takoyaki is not so hot on the outside, but because it is fried in batter, the temperature is still very high, and if you don't pay attention, it will be the same as eating soup dumplings, and you will be scalded.
"Stupid, won't you blow it first and then eat it?" Sawai Midori glared at his sister and shouted so loudly that several people next to him looked over, but they all smiled with good-naturedness.
Yuko Sawai fanned her mouth with her hand while eating it, in fact, this effect is very small, but the psychological effect is very large, so even if it is still very hot, she can already eat it.
"It's delicious!" After eating an takoyaki, Yuko Sawai had a satisfied and intoxicated expression on her face.
"Thank you. One of the two female college students, a slightly chubby girl, said with a smile, perhaps because she was already very happy watching others eat the takoyaki she made, "Are you here to watch the game?"
"My sister and I are. Yuko Sawai nodded, "But Brother Koji is here to compete, and just now he defeated four opponents by himself." In order to emphasize the point of what he said, he deliberately gestured four fingers.
"That's amazing!" the chubby girl said along with her words, her expression was also a little surprised, and she looked at the teenager in front of her, who was wearing a set of sportswear, and it seemed that he was indeed a representative of a certain university.
Li Xuehao smiled and didn't speak, picked up an octopoyaki, took a bite, the taste was indeed very good, fresh, sweet, fragrant, and a little spicy, very unique.
Midori Sawai also ate it and was very satisfied with the taste.
Yuko Sawai was the first to finish eating, the little girl is a foodie, even if it is still very hot, under her "copper teeth and iron mouth", there is nothing that cannot be eaten.
But after eating, she didn't ask for any more, but looked away, her eyes rolling, not knowing what she was looking for to eat.
When Li Xuehao and Midori Sawai finished eating, Yuko Sawai immediately suggested: "Brother Hao, let's go eat oden." ”
Oden?
Li Xuehao looked at a stall not far away, which sold oden, but it was summer, and eating oden was not a good suggestion. The best way to eat oden is to eat a bowl of warm oden in winter, when the cold is pressing, but many office workers think that the best enjoyment.
"What do you think, Midori?" he asked Midori Sawai, and if she agreed, he didn't have a problem either.
"The chowder tasted good too, we could try it. Midori Sawai said.
"Yay!" Yuko Sakii gestured to a scissorhands, two to one, and she could go eat oden.
Li Xuehao knew why she was so excited, because chowder porridge is only available after eating oden, because after eating the boiled food, add rice and beaten eggs to the remaining broth, and after boiling, it is another delicacy - chowder porridge.
There is only one girl in charge of the oden food stall, and when you get closer, you can already smell the diffuse aroma, which is the complex aroma of various ingredients coming together.
Oden is a dish made with soy sauce-flavored dashi made by putting konjac, daikon radish, fish rolls, satsuma fish cakes, and boiled eggs in a pot.
Li Xuehao and the three of them chose what they liked to eat, put it in a small plate, and dipped it in mustard or chili sauce to eat.
There are also people who like to eat the original flavor, because after the broth is cooked, various ingredients absorb the umami in the broth, and it is already delicious, especially the longer it is cooked, the more delicious the taste, mixed with the taste of other ingredients.
"Brother Koji, when we're done eating oden, let's go eat udon. Before she finished eating, Yuko Sawai had already planned what she was going to eat next, and judging by her appearance, she seemed to be ready to eat all the snacks on this main road.
"Do you want to kill yourself?" Sawai Midori glared at her, she was feeling a little full now, and after eating the oden and chowder, it was estimated that it would be difficult to eat anything else.
"Sister, this is Tokyo, so it's rare for us to visit. Yuko Sawai defended herself, as if she had come to Tokyo just to eat.
"Then you can eat alone, Koji and I are going to go shopping, and buy some clothes or something by the way. Midori Sawai said, looking at her.
"I'm going too!" As soon as she heard that she was going to buy clothes, Yuko Sawai suddenly couldn't take care of eating, and pulled the skirt on her body, "Sister, you see, this skirt was bought by my mother last summer, and I haven't bought new clothes for a long time." ”
Li Xuehao looked at the white dress she was wearing, it was not old, on the contrary, it looked very new, but she couldn't tell that she bought it last year, unless she hadn't worn it more than twice at all.
"Then you can go too. Midori Sawai nodded, as if moved by what she said, but then added, "You just went and see, I didn't say I was going to buy it for you." ”
"What?" Yuko Sawai suddenly looked indignant, and said with a complaint, "Why is this happening? I'm your sister, I'm your sister." ”
"You can buy it yourself, I remember my mother gave you money, didn't she?" Midori Sawai glanced at her.
"My mother gave me 1,000 yen, and I couldn't buy anything. Speaking of this, Yuko Sawai was even more angry, "What can I buy for 1,000 yen? I can't even buy a toy, my mother is so stingy!"
"Then it's none of my business, you can make your own money to buy it when you grow up. Midori Sawai said with a light face, ignoring what his sister said.
Yuko Sawai was a little crazy, but with a roll of her eyes, she hit someone next to her again: "Brother Hao, you're going to buy it for me, right?"
"Don't buy it. Li Xuehao shook his head directly.
Yuko Sawai lowered her face and looked at him pitifully: "Brother Koji, buy me clothes, I can sleep with you at night." ”
"Nonsense again. Li Xuehao stretched out his hand and tapped her head, this girl didn't have to talk about it in private, she was still saying it in public, and her voice was relatively loud.
He noticed that the strange gaze of the female college student at the boiled stall when she heard this sentence obviously had a certain color of looking at scum. In reality, there are indeed many such little girls who will use their bodies to do assistance activities in order to buy their favorite things, such as clothes and cosmetics, and she probably takes it seriously.
"It hurts. Yuko Sawai covered her head and looked at him pitifully, "Is that okay?"
"If you don't talk nonsense anymore, I can consider buying you clothes. Li Xuehao glanced at Midori Sawai, who was actually eating oden intently, seemingly completely unconcerned about everything around her.
"Well, well, I'll be obedient. Yuko Sawai nodded again and again, making a well-behaved appearance.
"You guy, is that how you deceive girls?" coldly, a crisp voice sounded behind him, with some amusement and some hatred in his tone.
The familiar voice made Li Xuehao instantly know who the person behind him was, it was Miho Honma, who called herself Saori Kawanishi, and she was talking about him?
I couldn't help but turn my head, and sure enough, I saw Miho Honma, who was dressed almost like yesterday, with a height of about 1.6 meters, a T-shirt and denim shorts, but the color was different from yesterday.
Her hair is slightly curly, her head is tied with balls, and her shoulder bag is the same as yesterday, and she looks like a cute and ladylike girl.
Sawai Midori and Sawai Yuko also turned their heads, and when they saw the cute girl in front of them, their reactions were not consistent, Sawai Midori was indifferently inquisitive, while Sawai Yuko was vigilant and envious, because the other party's dress was too in line with her aesthetics, and she had always wanted to wear it like this, but unfortunately, her mother didn't let her wear it like this.
"Hi Manaka, we're meeting again. Miho Honma beckoned familiarly, and suddenly saw Yuko Sawai with a mushroom head, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, "What a cute girl." As he spoke, he reached out and touched it.
"Hey, I don't know you!" Yuko Sawai hurriedly dodged her hand and became more vigilant, because the other party and Koji's brother seemed to be very familiar.
"It's okay, my name is Saori Kawanishi, what's your name?" Miho Honma seemed to have a strong interest in Yuko Sawai when no one else was around.
Yuko Sawai moved away from the chair, moved away from her, and looked at someone: "Brother Koji, who is this? Your new lover?" was very dissatisfied in his words, as if to say that he was looking for a new lover without her consent.
"Haha, I'm still shy. Seeing her retreating, Honma Miho took the initiative to get closer, she really didn't seem to have a little barrier, and she was so familiar with the people she met for the first time.
Midori Sawai was probably a little overwhelmed, and stretched out his hand to block her: "I'm sorry, this is my sister." ”
"Oh, hello. Blocked, Honma Miho seemed to have finally noticed that there were other people around her, she looked at Midori Sawai, and seemed to feel an inexplicable danger, her eyes shrank suddenly, "Have you practiced kendo?"
"A little. Sawai Midori said lightly.
"But it's more than that, isn't it?" Miho Honma looked her up and down, and there weren't many people who could give her a sense of danger.
"Do you know kendo too?" Sawai Midori didn't answer the rhetorical question, and looked at her with interest, especially at the tiger's mouth between her left thumb and index finger, where there was a thin scar, and people with this "mark" meant that they often practiced kendo with real knives, because when the sword was sheathed, it would be cut by the blade, and over the years, such a thin scar would appear.
"I'll do a little too. Miho Honma nodded, and she also said, "A little", just to compete with the other party.
"When will we talk about it? Sawai Midori smiled faintly, both of them knew that "a little" was not really a little.
"Yes. Miho Honma stared straight at her for a while and nodded earnestly.
Then the two of them seemed to have nothing to say, and as for the question of when to fight, they automatically ignored it.
Miho Honma was a little bored and looked at someone who was eating oden: "Manaka, aren't you the representative of Sakurano High School? Why are you here? I heard that there is your game today, didn't you play?"
When Li Xuehao heard her words, he knew that she definitely hadn't been to the gymnasium, and it stands to reason that there was also a match between them and Tsukuba High School today, and she was still hanging outside, maybe the opponent was also a weaker school, so she didn't need to play at all.
But she didn't even watch the game, obviously full of absolute confidence in her own strength, even if it was Hayato Yotsuya from Terao High School, she probably didn't pay attention to it.
"Today, you Sakurano High School is competing against Terao High School, the opponent's general Hayato Yotsuya is not bad, did you lose?"
"No, Sakurano High School won. Yuko Sawai on the side interjected.
"Oh?" Miho Honma had a surprised expression, as if she didn't believe what she said.
Sawai Yuko immediately became angry: "Tell you, Brother Koji defeated four opponents by himself, and the person you are talking about is not Brother Koji's opponent at all!"
"Huh?" Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Miho Honma finally began to face it squarely.
