Chapter 137: Mai Shiraishi's Birthday

The ingredients prepared in advance were processed by Jiro Ono one after another, and then kneaded into exquisite sushi with a pair of "hands of the gods", and then brought to a low table by honey worms. Mai Shiraishi, Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino all seemed to be shocked by the momentum of Jiro Ono, and while enjoying the performance of this sushi god, they also tasted the sushi served by the honey worm with some trepidation, as if this was the most serious meal they had in their lives.

However, Chiya behaved very naturally, as if he had merged his own existence with the momentum of Jiro Ono, and if he had to find an adjective, it would be harmony. If Jiro Ono, the god of sushi, was sketching a perfect circle when he was kneading sushi, then Chiya drew another circle tangent to this perfect circle, the same perfection and harmony.

Each piece of sushi is made with just four of them, and after the four of them are sandwiched, it seems that in order to match the rhythm of Jiro Ono, the sushi plate will be served away by honeyworms, so that the flavor of the sauce between different sushi does not interfere with each other. There is also a small slice of pickled ginger next to each sushi, and after enjoying a piece of sushi, Senya will pick up a slice of pickled ginger and put it in his mouth to reset his taste buds and avoid the taste of the previous sushi from interfering with the taste of the next sushi.

Although Nanase Nishino also behaved a little restrained, but from Tamako's memory and upbringing, she quickly adjusted to sit next to Qianya, although she was not as calm as Qianya, but it was not as trembling as before when she was shocked by Ono Jiro's momentum. Nanase Nishino, who broke free from the suppression of Jiro Ono's momentum, made Chiya look sideways, but soon did not pay attention, but focused on the sushi in front of him, and no one would have the heart to think about anything else when facing the sushi carefully made by the god of sushi.

Although Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were still suppressed by the momentum of the sushi god, they saw Chiya and Nanase Nishino on the side calmly coping, and they quickly adjusted, although they were still a little nervous, but they were able to concentrate on enjoying the food in front of them. Although Ono Jiro's momentum is compelling, after all, he is serving diners as a craftsman, and if his own momentum makes diners unable to concentrate on enjoying the beauty of food, it will deviate from Ono Jiro's pursuit of culinary perfection, so it is not difficult to get rid of the momentum suppression of this sushi god.

When the last sushi was made, Jiro Ono didn't let the worm serve it to the low table, but carefully cleaned his hands before bringing the last sushi to Senya himself.

"Mr. Ono's skills are getting more and more sophisticated, I'm afraid he has reached the level of almost Dao skills, right?" Senya picked up the last sushi and looked at it as if it were a work of art before putting it in her mouth.

Ono Jiro didn't show any expression on his face for Qianye's praise, but just smiled: "Sushi is supposed to be like this." ”

After eating the last piece of sushi, Chiya put down her chopsticks, bowed slightly to Jiro Ono and said, "There is Mr. Lao Ono tonight, the pre-agreed reward has been prepared, and I will let the honeyworms be sent to the store." ”

"Haha, it's just sushi, I've been doing it for decades, so there's no hard work." Jiro Ono seemed to leave the cooking table, and then he dissipated the momentum on his body, and became as kind and kind as an ordinary grandfather next door: "I came to Tokyo alone with a suitcase, but if it weren't for Mr. Chiba, you took me in on the street and showed me the glittering cuisine, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to achieve today's results." Even after 60 years, I still can't forget that night, Mr. Chiba, the delicious sashimi you made, that was my lifelong pursuit. Originally, I shouldn't have talked about any remuneration for making sushi for Mr. Chiba, but that kind of ingredient is only available to Mr. Chiba, so I'm ashamed. ”

"Mr. Ono's words, a few fresh fish, there is a reward." Chiya smiled heartily and seemed to be very interested in talking to Jiro Ono: "I still like ordinary fish compared to red squid, such as sea bream. While Senya was talking to Jiro Ono, the honey worm had already taken the empty plate away and placed a fragrant honeydew melon on the low table.

Jiro Ono also smiled heartily: "The sea bream made by Mr. Chiba is naturally excellent, since my work has been done, I won't bother Mr. Chiba, I will take my leave first." After saying that, he bowed to Chiya, and then left accompanied by the honey worm, and the four Shikigami who appeared at some unknown time also carried away the used cooking table.

While enjoying the delicious honeydew melon, Mai Shiraishi looked at Qianye curiously, and suddenly asked him, "Qianye, do you also know how to cook?" You've known Mr. Ono for a long time? Nanase Nishino and Nanami Hashimoto were also attracted by Mai Shiraishi's question and looked at Senya.

"More than 60 years ago, when Mr. Ono went to Beijing alone, he was living on the streets because he couldn't find a place to live. I happened to meet him at the time, so I took him in and stayed here for a while. With a smile on his face, Chiya introduced to his three wives: "Later, after he opened a sushi restaurant, I would go to his restaurant to eat sushi once a year, so he agreed to come to this Taisha to make sushi today." ”

"Then the reward you just mentioned is the red pig you mentioned in Qianye?" Nana Hashimoto held a piece of honeydew melon and took a small bite: "Red squid, isn't that something in Chinese myths and legends?" ”

"Huh! Is that a legend? I thought it was a fish I hadn't heard of. Nishino Nanase couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed in a low voice: "Master, you haven't mentioned to me that there is this kind of fish in this Taisha here!" As he spoke, he pursed his lips and looked at Chiya pretending to be unhappy.

After rubbing Nanase Nishino's head dotingly, Chiya explained with a smile: "The red squid is a fish that lives in the big lake of 'here', and I brought it a thousand years ago when I traveled east from the Tang Dynasty to Japan. As for Nanasai why you don't know, it's because you didn't ask me. When Chiya said this, Nanase Nishino also lowered his head shyly.

Mai Shiraishi finished eating the melon in her hand, and after putting down the melon skin, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Qianye's sleeve, and said coquettishly to Qianye: "Qianye, I want to soak in the hot spring, can I?" As he spoke, he kept blinking his eyes and staring at Qianye with his big shining eyes.

"Mai is like you can naturally soak in the hot springs, and the hot spring bath below is always ready, so of course it's okay if you want to use it." Qianye happily agreed to Mai Shiraishi's request, and after making her cheer, she ran towards the underground dojo.

Looking at Nanase Nishino, who had some envy in his eyes on the side, Qianye smiled: "Nanasai If you want to go, you can also go, you don't have to accompany me here." Hearing Chiya say this, Nanase Nishino raised his head and looked at Nanami Hashimoto on the side, and saw that she also nodded, so he stood up, and after smiling at Chiya and Nanami Hashimoto with some embarrassment, he chased in the direction of Mai Shiraishi.

"Nanasai still can't let go." Looking at Nanase Nishino, who was still a little shy, Chiya shook his head, with a smile of pity on the corner of his mouth, and said to Nanami Hashimoto.

Nana Hashimoto walked a few steps on her knees, moved herself to Chiya's side and looked at the backs of Nanase Nishino and Mai Shiraishi who were leaving, and said with a gentle smile: "Nanasa's character has always been like this, but she is very stubborn and strong. Mai looks mature and reliable, but in fact it is a little childish. ”

"And our Nanami looks like an iceberg, but she's actually a gentle and reliable big sister, right?" Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was sitting next to him, Chiya couldn't help but laugh at her.

Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Chiya's teasing, wrinkled her good-looking nose, and puffed out her cheeks. Although she pretended to be angry, Qianye could still see the crimson on Nanami Hashimoto's face, and she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers dotingly and gently scrape the bridge of Nanami's tall nose.

"Qianye, why haven't you seen Miss Ruodie recently? You're still mad at Mai about that, are you? Although she enjoyed the little sweetness between her and Chiya, Nana Hashimoto didn't remember what Xiaobai got rid of what she asked, so she still pretended to be casual and asked Chiya.

When Qianye heard Nanami Hashimoto's question, she seemed to put away the smile on her face, glanced at her and said, "Xiaobai asked you to ask, right?" This little fox is quite nostalgic! But Nanamin, don't worry, when the maple leaves are red, Ruodie will come back. As he spoke, Qianye raised his arm and took Nanami Hashimoto into his arms, holding him and looking up at the night sky. Although you can't see the stars in the sky at night in Tokyo, neither Senya nor Nanami Hashimoto are looking at the stars.

"Qianye, what kind of gift are you going to give Mai tonight? If you don't have the right gift, Mai will be sad! Nana Hashimoto reminded Chiya a little coquettishly.

Qianye patted Nanami Hashimoto on the shoulder, stood up and pulled her up from the mat, and while holding her hand and walking towards the underground dojo, he answered Nanami Hashimoto's question: "Don't worry, I've already prepared a birthday gift for Mai Xiang." A fashion clothing brand that belongs entirely to her, not only that, but there is also a specialty store in Shinjuku that specializes in selling clothing of this brand, and there is no need for Mai to participate in the management, everything I have entrusted to a professional to handle, and Mai only needs to enjoy dividends every year. ”

"Mai has always liked all kinds of fashionable clothes, and she definitely likes this kind of gift." Nanami Hashimoto's tone unconsciously carried a hint of envy.

Qianye gently pinched Nanami Hashimoto's little hand, and whispered in her ear: "Nanamin, you don't have to be envious, I originally planned to wait until next year when you celebrate your birthday, but now that I have given a gift like Mai, it seems that it is unreasonable not to give it to you and Nanasai." ”

"Do you want to give me a gift for a thousand nights?" Nana Hashimoto didn't feel the breath of Chiya exhaling spraying between her neck, and her face turned crimson.

"I have bought the apartment that you and Mai are living in your name now, and in addition to that, I have prepared a high-end restaurant in Ginza for you Nana Min. Even if Nanami doesn't become an idol in the future, you can live a good life with this restaurant. ”
