Chapter 33: The Bird Stalls and the Future
The bird in the roast bird refers to the chicken.
Before the popularity of RB broiler chicken, the role of chickens was mainly used to lay eggs, and when they could not lay eggs, the taste of meat was extremely poor, so they were sold at a fairly cheap price, and became the first choice to improve food in the case of poor economic conditions - during the period of RB economic recovery, chicken and animal offal were grilled together, which was the best snack for industrial workers after work.
Later, this way of eating became popular, and gradually there were more patterns, just like the barbecue stalls in China, which were originally just lamb skewers, and now they are grilled everywhere, pork, beef, seafood, vegetables, kidneys, etc., everything that can be eaten is on the grill. The situation at RB is similar, from the original chicken skewers to the current variety of everything, and even because of the gradual increase in female customers after the trend of female independence, even snacks, cakes and fruits are skewered.
Kitahara Shuji ordered some fruit and vegetable skewers, which was specially requested for fear that Yoko Ono would not like greasy, but his guess was wrong, Yoko Ono was a "carnivore", and he was not interested in small tomatoes, apple chunks, etc., and his eyes narrowed when he ate chicken skewers.
She looked very short of flesh, which made Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but start feeling distressed again, picked up a tissue and gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth, which immediately made Yoko Ono embarrassed, and her whole little face was red.
"Is it delicious?" asked Kitahara Shuji with a soft smile. According to the age of his previous life, he is at least ten years older than Yoko Ono, and after being a little familiar, he feels like taking care of children.
Yoko Ono nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly, "It's delicious!" After a pause, he explained euphemistically, "The first time I ate it, I didn't expect it to taste so good." She was a little worried that she had left the impression of being a glutton.
Kitahara Shuji smiled dotingly, "Then eat more." ”
Yoko Ono was stunned when she looked at Kitahara Shuji's smile, lowered her head slightly, and her nose was a little sour, but after raising it in a blink of an eye, she still smiled sweetly, and handed a string of shallot-flavored chicken skewers to Kitahara Shuji's hand, smiling like a flower: "Oni-san wants to eat it too!"
Kitahara Shuji took a bite of the roasted brown and dripping chicken, crispy and tender, after biting through the crispy surface, the chicken nuggets turned into tender shredded chicken in the mouth, and at the same time, the delicious and thick juice was also covered in the mouth, hundreds of compounds immediately filled the taste buds with a sense of happiness, and it felt really good.
After eating one, he saw that Yoko Ono liked to eat it, and the rest stopped moving, pushed the soy sauce and sauce towards Yoko Ono, motioned for her to dip and eat, and picked up a few large oysters and put them on the grill - Nagoya City is also a famous big port in RB, and these seafood products are very cheap, three hundred yen for four, which makes the people in this inland province feel that it is a bargain to explode.
He carefully adjusted the charcoal fire, trying to simmer the oysters slowly, but he felt something bite his shoes underneath. He looked down at the flattering dog face of Mojiro, laughed and cursed, and roasted two large pork bones - not directly for it, not rich enough to give meat to pet dogs, and it was over when he turned around and gnawed the bones for him.
Yoko Ono rarely seemed to have this opportunity to let go of her belly and only eat meat, and she ate seven or eight strings in a row before stopping. Shuji Kitahara broke open a small plate of raw green peppers from the stall owner, sandwiched the chicken and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "You need to eat some vegetables too, Yoko." ”
Alas, looking at the yellow face of this little bean sprout, I'm afraid that it is not nutritious enough just to rely on a government-subsidized meal at noon, right? Just looking at it makes me feel distressed......
Yoko Ono obediently took it, took a bite lightly, and immediately squinted happily, "It's crunchy, it's a little spicy, but the chicken has become sweet." ”
Kitahara Shuji took a sip of barley tea and sandwiched one for himself -- RB people have recently become fond of eating raw vegetables, probably under the influence of the Americans! RB is currently sandwiched between the two superpowers of China and the United States, and all aspects of society are swaying from side to side, and the diet has begun to be nondescript, neither Chinese nor foreign, and the local cuisine is also twisted and twisted.
The two of them were not in a hurry, they just ate slowly, and no one mentioned Yoko Ono's mother very tacitly, just chatting about some interesting things, Kitahara Shuji also told her how to repair Fukuzawa Fuyumi, Ono Yoko listened with a smile, and echoed a few words from time to time, which was very interpretive. She ate for a while and then took over the baking duties, fiddling with interest, and put the leftover bones under the table for Momojiro.
Momojiro was so excited that he licked and bitten, and it was estimated that this was also a rare meal in his dog's life.
Kitahara Shuji looked at Yoko Ono, who was smiling and carefully barbecuing, and then looked around at the diners who were drinking and chatting, all kinds of people, only to feel that this less than a month could really be called a dream, and couldn't help but wander......
What will you look like in 10 years?
Have you said goodbye to this kind of place forever?
Or have you become a scholar who has nothing to do with it? Or is she starting a business and working hard? If you want to be beautiful again, maybe you have succeeded, and you can decide the honor and disgrace of life and death with your words and deeds?
I wish time had flowed quickly, and it would be ten years from now......
But Kitahara Shuji immediately laughed dumbly - the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. If you don't work hard now and don't endure ten years of pain, then ten years from now you will still be empty-handed, what is there to look forward to?
"What are you laughing at?" asked Ono with some curiosity as she picked out the shellfish and dipped it in the sauce before sending it to Kitahara Shuji.
"I was thinking about what kind of person I would be in the future. ”
"Eh, what kind of person does Onissan want to be in the future?"
Kitahara Shuji pondered the words for a while, and said slowly: "I want to be a free person, not to be swayed by others or money, to do what interests me, and then to achieve some kind of great achievement, so that I will not regret wasting my time before I die, and I can close my eyes without regrets." ”
The three apex of life, the power is leaning for a lifetime, the world is rich, and he is famous in history, he is not greedy, and when he comes to the crossroads of life in the future, he is ready to choose a direction to work hard depending on the situation - set high aspirations, may not be able to do it, but you can work hard for life for this!
This is a bit difficult to understand, not suitable for elementary school students to understand, so he explained in a different way, but Ono Yoko still didn't understand too much, and said confusedly: "Free people?
Kitahara Shuji laughed: "It's to be a big shot, focus on doing something you're interested in, and do it very well, so that others look up to and envy you, and before you die, you can laugh and brag and say that you're so good!"
Yoko Ono was stunned, covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's really good, Onisan." ”
Kitahara Shuji smiled and asked, "What about you?Yoko, have you thought about what kind of person you will become in the future?"
Yoko Ono lowered her head and thought for a while, and said a little confused: "No, Onisan, I didn't think about these ......"
Kitahara Shuji rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "Think slowly, don't worry, you're still young! But it's good to think about it earlier, people, you can work hard when you have a goal! A confused person will only stand still, and time will not wait for him." ”
Yoko Ono nodded obediently and asked in a low voice, "Oni-san doesn't come out to play every day, just stays at home to study, is he working hard to become the person he hopes for in the future?"
"That's right, if you don't work hard today, tomorrow's dreams will be crushed into powder by the cruel reality, and you can only grow old with regrets in the end, I don't want to be like that. So I plan to spend the next three years trying to get into a world-renowned university, learning things is one thing, and more importantly, getting to know some talented people for the ......future."
Yoko Ono held her cheeks and turned on the charcoal fire, quietly listening to Kitahara Shuji's plans for the future, and although Kitahara Shuji spoke in a gentle tone, it revealed unwavering faith, and his eyes were shining in the light, full of positive vitality...... Yoko Ono couldn't help but be a little stupid.
Ernie sauce seems to be just five or six years older than herself, and already has a clear plan for the future, but what about herself?
Where is your future?
