There are a few lit shops in the alley, and the corners are not too dark. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Natsu Yu stopped in the open space next to Uesugi izakaya.

There is a hundred-year-old tree here, and the stems of the tree bulge from the floor tiles, and it is slippery and slippery when you walk up.

Just under the tree, walking around the tree, Xia Yu finally found a stone that was almost surrounded by the entanglement of the stem.

In fact, this thing is not a stone, the history of existence is obviously very long, the carving on the surface is very shallow, if it weren't for Xia Yu's eyesight is different from ordinary people, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to discover the strangeness of the stone so quickly.

"Shrine?"

After a few more glances, Xia Yu's face changed slightly.

That's right.

It's a stone shrine, but it's almost unrecognizable.

The reason why Xia Yu dared to make such a conclusion was that in the shadow in front of the stone, there was a small bowl, and in the bowl were several stacked traditional Japanese sweets.

The shrines in the city are easy to see in Kyoto, where traditional culture has been preserved.

But in the downtown area of Tokyo, it was the first time that Xia Yu had seen a shrine so old and forgotten in the corner.

"Was that you?"

He suddenly said to the darkness, caught off guard.

At this time, if someone stood behind Xia Yu, it was estimated that they would be scared half to death.

No one answered.

Not far away, there was a noise of people in the neighborhood.

"If you don't speak again, I'll bring you the shrine. Xia Yu said very politely.

Unlike China, there are too many examples of country spirits calling themselves gods.

Finally, a faint sigh.

There was an incomparably vague shadow, looming under the ancient tree, and Xia Yu could only roughly identify this existence, it was a woman, and the contours of her face gave people a soft feeling.

And on his body, Xia Yu didn't smell any cold air, which was completely different from the evil spirits he had encountered a few months ago.

Secretly relieved.

"Have you always been here?" Xia Yu put away his hostility and became curious, pointing to a bowl of fresh and hot snacks in front of the shrine, "Moreover, is there anyone who still remembers you and worships you now?"

"Yes, I've always been here. ”

This spirit body is not a spirit body, to Xia Yu seems to be an existence like a land god, and in a low female voice, she maintains respect for Xia Yu and is faintly afraid.

"The only one who worships me now is Tetsuya. ”

"Tetsuya?"

Xia Yu was inexplicable, but he looked in the direction of the land god's gaze, and saw that it was Uesugi Izakaya, and he understood, "You said that young man?

"Yes, it's him, this child I watched grow up, and he learned from his father to worship me for as long as he can remember. It was also with the belief that he gave to the cuisine that I have survived to this day. "The presence in the shrine, said in a smiling voice, is very gentle, and if she can reveal her true form, she will think of a dignified and gentle mature woman.

"Oh-"

Xia Yu responded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his back to the ancient tree and the shrine and waved, "Then I'll go first." Sorry to bother you. ”

Unexpectedly, a voice hesitated to stop him.

"Wait!"

"Can you do me a favor?"

Looking back, the female land god, who had only a thin body, knelt down in mid-air and bent deeply to plead.

"How can I help you?" Xia Yu scratched his head.

"No, it's not helping me, it's helping Tetsuya's child. The female land god said, "His father died of illness a year ago, so that child inherited Uesugi Izakaya and had a hard time living alone......

"Do you know the Sumida River Food Awards?"

She asked suddenly.

"Eh......" Xia Yu immediately understood everything, waved his hand to block this existence, and said with a smile: "How dare you be sure that I can help Uesugi Tetsuya?"

"You can sense me and see my presence, which means that you are not an ordinary cook......" The land god knelt in mid-air.

Backbite.

When Xia Yu was hesitating whether to take over this job, the system popped up the task information:

"[Praise to the Lone Wanderer]. ”

"Hint: Help Uesugi Izakaya win this year's Sumida River Food Awards. ”

"Reward: [Talisman] (Purple)*3. ”

Glancing at the information, Xia Yu was stunned.

What the hell is the spirit talisman? He was messy and immediately extracted the prop information:

"[Imperial Spirit Talisman]: Purple prop, in the past, the seven-star sword Wren often used it to overkill the ingredients, but it can also be used to suppress and dispel ghosts and gods. The unlock conditions of the system mall are unknown, and they cannot be purchased temporarily. ”

Pat the hot forehead. Xia Yu quickly accepted the explanation of the system.

It turns out that in the Chinese Yiyi, the seven-star sword Wren repeatedly pasted the spirit runes when slaughtering cattle and fish, which is really not a show.

Done!

The fresh props inspired Xia Yu's enthusiasm.

Isn't it just a regional food competition?

Taking over the task, Xia Yu left the female land god with a dashing back, "Waiting for the winning sign of tomorrow's big prize, the flowers will fall to the Uesugi family!"

"Thank you!"

waved his hand.

So, back at Uesugi Izakaya, with the stunned expressions of Maki, Erina, and Scarlet, Natsu Yu said to the young man who had just served hot food, "Tetsuya Uesugi, let me help you win the Sumida River Food Awards!"

"Huh?!"

The young man's hand shook, and the atmosphere in the store was really embarrassing.

Erina Nagikiri turned her back, her shoulders shaking, and her side face was like a red apple.

Morita Maki and Shinto Scarlet Shazi reacted, and they couldn't cry or laugh.

"This, this is too sudden!" Uesugi Tetsuya said dumbly, and then looked up and down at Xia Yu wearing the demon fox mask with a suspicious gaze, and the expression was clearly saying:

Who the hell are you?

"Although it was sudden, it was too late to explain, hurry up and get in the car-"

Xia Yu couldn't help but say, and went straight to the kitchen of the izakaya, "In short, we must hurry up and make and sell an infinite amount of food!"

So, Xia Yu, who entered the kitchen, immediately regarded this place as his battlefield.

Tetsuya Uesugi forgot to stop it, and was stunned to look at the suspicious boy wearing a demon fox mask who was making sushi and rice balls.

"Let's help too!"

Maki Morita brings Erina and Scarlet Sand.

Then, the kitchen flooded into more people.

Tetsuya Uesugi hugged his head and looked at the hot scene with a face full of disbelief.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Alley entrance.

Xia Yu and Morita Maki went into battle together, and Erina Nagikiri stood by in a tangled way, unable to let go of her hands and feet.

On a table in front of you were boxed sushi, rice balls, and takoyaki, and there were cards with the word "give" written on them.

As soon as the table was set, a few curious passers-by gathered.

A sweaty middle-aged uncle with a camera hesitantly asked, "Free?"

"Yes, it's free, but it's just a tasting, only this table!" Morita Maki's smile gave several onlookers a lot of goodwill and confidence.

"Then try it!"

The uncle's eyes swept over the sushi, rice balls, and octopus balls, and finally swallowed his saliva, and most safely, picked up the rice balls in a plastic lunch box and took a bite slowly.

Click!

The rice was soft with a hint of acetate, and as soon as it was eaten, the expression on the passer-by's uncle collapsed.

"Oh my God!"

He finally swallowed the rice in his mouth, and then looked at the rice ball that bit down and revealed the golden filling, his palms were trembling, and his lips were trembling, "Why can the pork floss rice ball be so delicious!!"

Hearing his excited and surprised self-talk, the rest of the passers-by immediately put aside their worries and chose sushi and octopus balls to taste.

A passer-by young man with a female companion devoured octopus balls with a wonderful expression.

Teeth break through the soft coat.

Next, the bonito flower on the outer layer of the takoyaki crumbles in the mouth.

A strong aroma immediately invades the mouth, and the chewing continues, followed by the crisp and delicious taste of the vegetables.

Layer by layer, layer by layer, peel off.

When he ate the innermost layer of chopped octopus and chewed it, the young passer-by trembled, as if he had received an electric shock.

After a while, he took a deep breath, looked at his female companion, and handed over an octopus ball with a fork, his expression and voice were so gentle, and his eyes showed a strong love, "Emi, try it!"

The female companion was fooled by his sudden gentle attack, and after a while, she shyly ate takoyaki.

"Hmm!"

The moment she ate the takoyaki, the woman's eyes immediately turned colorful.

The Tokyo Summer Fireworks Festival seems to have been held ahead of schedule.

Women and men stand shoulder to shoulder in the buildings of Tokyo, and colorful fireworks burst into the dark night sky to the roar of artillery battles.

Under the night sky, it is because of the fireworks that cross the colorful and blurred colors of the couple.

An inexplicable throbbing brewed in his heart, coming rapidly, the man took a deep breath, and the woman holding hands with him also took a breath, turning the throbbing into action, to pour out loudly under the witness of the fireworks.

They turned their heads in unison and looked at each other.

In reality.

The couple was on the side of the street as if no one was looking at each other.

"I'll go!"

Xia Yu glanced at Maki Morita who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt that this girl was so scary, and when he noticed his gaze, Maki tilted his head, and his lips opened and closed silently.

Reading the lip language, Xia Yu lowered his eyelids slightly.

"Everything I want to convey is in the cuisine. ”

In the alley.

Tetsuya Uesugi was stunned again, and several passers-by who tried the food were immersed in the food, which shocked his heart. (To be continued.) )
