Chapter 40: Fifteen Nights

Today's two chapters are daily.

………………

At the beginning of October, Golden Day (Friday).

"After I go back, practice diligently, and that's all for today's lesson, after class." Sugi picked up the lesson plan and turned to leave.

"Teacher walks slowly~"

Before Sugi even walked out of the door, the classroom exploded. Those who talk loudly, those who pack their school bags, and those who run to find their friends, all kinds of people, all kinds of differences.

Oe Qianli walked towards Aoyagi, "Aoyagi, it's time to go!" ”

"Okay."

During this time, Chisato and Twilight would go to the woods with him almost every afternoon, but Aoyagi was exercising while the two of them were playing crazy.

Today was no exception, and after Aoyagi had a break from the workout, they went back happy.

"By the way, Aoyagi, we won't be here tomorrow afternoon."

Well? They didn't even come? Although I think they are a little annoying, they don't show up, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it. Alas, man is such a strange creature.

"Is there something going on?"

"It's fifteen nights, I have to help the family prepare things in the afternoon, and I want to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival in the evening."

Twilight said, "The moon of the thirteenth night is also beautiful. My mother said that I had to see the moon again on the thirteenth night. Katatsuki is unlucky. ”

"Is that so? Is the thirteenth night of September in the old calendar? Ahh ”……

Moon appreciation, Mid-Autumn Festival, fifteen nights, in the previous life, it should be the Mid-Autumn Festival. A year later, I had to face this difficult night again.

Last year, on the fifteenth night, there were many clouds and the moonlight was hazy. At that time, he had been in the Hokage world for a few months, but he still didn't quite adapt to life here. As soon as I saw the moon, I couldn't help but think of home, and my family, who didn't know how it was doing.

Seeing that the two of them began to discuss excitedly, Aoyagi felt a little unhappy, tsk, alone in another world, encountered this kind of reunion festival, it was really a blessing.

"It's not too early, I'm going home."

"Oh, see you then, Aoyagi."

Leaving behind the two who were still discussing, Aoyagi went home alone.

………

The next day, because he didn't have to be taught by Araki in the morning, Aoyagi went to the barbecue restaurant to help at noon.

Maybe it's because of the festival, there are not many customers today, and the market closes early at noon, and everyone sits and chats after lunch.

The store manager looked at the clerks and said, "As before, it will not be open tonight, so let's go back early and prepare for the holiday." Leave some people to clean up the shop. ”

Bidding farewell to the waiters who stayed to clean, Aoyagi went home first.

Now Aoyagi is working as a cook, no longer as a waiter. Originally, he wanted to stay and help, but everyone stopped him.

Walking out of the store, Aoyagi looked up, the sky was cloudless today, the sun was shining, and I thought that tonight was the right time to enjoy the moon.

After walking on the road, a little girl with blonde hair and black eyes came to meet her on the empty street, which was Aoyagi's classmate.

Aoyagi still remembers her name, it seems to be Asaka Sasayama.

Because I don't know her well, I don't have anything to talk about. After a polite hello, Aoyagi left.

What a coincidence, but I didn't expect to meet my classmates.

Aoyagi sighed and stopped thinking about it, and instead thought about today's dinner.

In my previous life, there was a dish that Aoyagi liked to eat, and I didn't want to make it much when I was troublesome before, but today I comfort myself and try it.

As for this afternoon, I'll give myself a vacation and don't go out to exercise. After buying the vegetables, take a lunch break until you wake up naturally, and then continue to transcribe the scrolls, and then cook slowly after about the same time.

So now go grocery shopping.

………………

It was just after one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were few customers in the market.

Walking to the vegetable shop where she had been visiting, there was a gray-haired grandmother sitting in the shop, and Aoyagi greeted her: "Kon Ni Chi Wa (usually used to say hello in the afternoon)!" Grandma Sato"

The shop is affordable, the vegetables are of good quality, and the grandmother is very kind. Since the first time I bought vegetables, Aoyagi has come here to buy vegetables, and after a long time, I have become familiar with my grandmother.

"It's Aoyagi-chan (the meaning of Koaoyanagi, Sakura is actually Sakura-chan), what are you going to buy today?" The old woman's eyes narrowed with laughter, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious.

"I'll buy a pineapple and green pepper today."

"Good. These pineapples are autumn fruits from the south, and they are not as good as spring and summer. Well, I'll pick and choose,......" The old grandmother got up slowly, picked and picked on the ground for a while, and then handed Aoyagi a pineapple and green pepper, "This pineapple in this batch is the most sweet and sour, you have to taste it." ”

After taking the money from Aoyagi's hand, the old grandmother pointed to a certain grass piled up on the stall and asked, "Is Aoyagi Sauce ready for miscanthus at home?" ”

What is the relationship between miscanthus, Mid-Autumn Festival and miscanthus?

Seeing that Aoyagi looked confused, the old grandmother grabbed a handful of miscanthus and stuffed it into his hand.

"Aoyagi-chan, take it home, the things offered to Cangyue can't be without miscanthus."

Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Aoyagi thanked Grandma Sato, "γ‚γ‚ŠγŒγ¨γ†γ”γ–γ„γΎγ™"

…………

Back at home, the pineapple and green pepper were put in the kitchen, and Aoyagi returned to his room, waking up from a nap, and continuing to transcribe the scroll.

After a long period of copying, Aoyagi put down his pen and shook off his sore hand.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the light and shadow in the room were staggered, cutting out small mottled spaces.

Walk to the window and look out into the courtyard.

Most of the leaves of the maple trees in the yard have turned red, and the color is much stronger than when I entered the school. The grass in the courtyard has lost the heavy greenery of summer, and black, yellow and brown have become the mainstream.

The autumn wind is blowing, the small pond is rippling, and the slightest coolness invades the body, which is a little sluggish.

The small rockery by the pond is also dyed with autumn, and its pale color always reminds people of words like old age and death.

I watched it blankly for a while, until it was obviously dark, and Aoyagi remembered that she hadn't started cooking dinner yet, so she hurried to the kitchen.

After washing his hands, Aoyagi picked up a knife and cut the pineapple in half vertically, half of which he put in the refrigerator.

Pick up the pineapple from the back with your left hand and hold a knife in your right hand and draw a rectangle on the pineapple to peel off the flesh as much as possible.

The pulp is cut into pieces and put in a small bowl for later use, and the green willow is cut into green peppers and slightly fried.

Then he sliced the pork, dipped it in egg whites, coated it in flour, and set it up for later use.

One by one, they put the meat balls into the hot oil and stir them with chopsticks, and when the meat balls are golden, Aoyagi scoops them up and drains the oil.

After all the ingredients are processed, Aoyagi puts the green peppers and meat in a pan and stir-fries, until it is fully cooked, then adds the pineapple pieces, sautΓ©s them slightly, and finally adds seasonings and stir-fries evenly.

Holding a frying pan, carefully place the pineapple slurp into the peeled pineapple shell, and you're done.

The yellow pineapple, the golden grunt meat, and the green pepper taste are sweet and sour, and the mood will become pleasant when you eat beautiful and delicious food.
