Chapter Eighty-Eight: Kitchen Knives

The so-called money in hand, don't panic, Hoshino Nana's money-making plan went so smoothly that she was blindfolded, and it coincided with the Chinese New Year, and the whole person was lazy.

It is customary for the whole family to go to a nearby shrine to thank the gods for their care last year, and to pray that they will continue to receive the care of the gods in the new year.

Miki Momonomiya is definitely going to go, she is a quarter of a Shinto believer, and she believes in three different gods at the same time, she is busy on the first day, and Nana Hoshino is not interested in participating in this superstitious traditional activity, squinting in the kotatsu and refusing to move.

Naoto Yoshihara doesn't go either, he's an outsider, and he doesn't worship his own gods and Buddhas, how can he run to worship others. He was in a period of decadence, he had no purpose in life, he always wanted to lie down, and it was so warm in the furnace that he couldn't stand up at all.

In the end, only Miki Momonomiya went with Yayoi Satsuki, who wanted to hang an ema and make a wish—Yayoi Satsuki will always be the most well-behaved!

After the two of them left, in the small 803, Naoto Yoshihara lay there comfortably and wanted to moan.

A laid-back life with nothing to do, a noisy TV, a sweet and honeyed premium Hirano orange, and if you can throw that self-kicking bear out the door again, this is heaven.

The space inside the kotatsu is larger than expected, but it must still be very crowded with two people lying down, and the main problem at the moment is that neither Naoto Yoshihara nor Nana Hoshino wants to leave the kotatsu. Nana Hoshino thinks that Naoto Yoshiwara is too big and takes up too much space, and stretches out her legs and kicks him from time to time to protect her territory, while Naoto Yoshiwara is like a dead dog, half-asleep and half-awake......

In the end, Nana Hoshino compromised and put her feet directly on Naoto Yoshihara's belly, and she was also drowsy, but this was not the sleep time in her biological clock, her cerebral cortex refused to rest, and she had to work overtime on holidays, and she was forced to think about messy things......

She sorted out the memory palace in her mind, a house similar to the 803 apartment, locked unwanted memories in the closet, pasted her usual memories on the door and wall, copied future plans to her calendar, and reordered her bookshelves.

She subconsciously hummed while sorting out her memory, her voice was like a pig, and she occasionally habitually moved her feet, and when she found that Naoto Yoshihara was still there, she continued to close her eyes with peace of mind.

Two people, one big and one small, pretended to be dead dogs in the morning.

When it was almost noon, Miki Momonomiya led Satsuki back with Yayoi Satsuki. As soon as Satsuki Yayoi entered the door, she threw herself at Nana Hoshino, and shouted happily, "Nana, look at what I bought you, you will definitely like it!"

Nana Hoshino continued to lie down and hum, unable to wake up for a while, while Naoto Yoshihara yawned and half looked up, only to see Yayoi Satsuki holding a giant doll bear that was not much shorter than her and offering treasure to Nana Hoshino.

Oh, and is this shopping going?

Looking at the cheerful Satsuki Yayoi, Naoto Yoshihara was also slightly infected, and couldn't help but smile - to say that the environment still has a great impact on a person, Satsuki Yayoi used to be so shy that she was a little shy about anything. Now that I've come here to live, I feel that my personality has changed a lot, and I feel like I'm a little more lively, and I'm tired of Hoshino Nana, and occasionally I'll be coquettish to Momomiya Miki.

Strange! Strange! The environment can really change a person......

He turned his head and went to look for Miki Momomiya again, it was almost time to eat, and it only took three weeks for people to develop a habit, and he was carefully fed by Miki Momomiya for a long time, and he formed a conditioned reflex, but the authorities were fascinated, and he himself hadn't noticed it.

He turned his head around and found that Miki Momonomiya had lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, sneaking into the kitchen with a big bag like a thief.

Naoto Yoshiwara suddenly felt a little strange, and in a blink of an eye, he heard the sound of metal colliding in the kitchen, and couldn't help but get up and go to the kitchen to find out what he wanted - could it be that he got some rare ingredients back?

He touched the kitchen and took a look, and found that Miki Momonomiya was squatting on the ground and gently ** a chef's knife, he couldn't put it down, there was a red tide surging on his face, and his apricot eyes were also intoxicated.

Then I saw a beautiful chest on the ground, which was neatly inlaid with a full set of knives on the soft cushions, which was glittering and cold, and there were some small things such as oil pots and whetstones.

He asked strangely, "Miki, did you buy kitchen utensils?"

"Huh?" Miki Momonomiya was startled, and hurriedly tried to cover the box, and when she looked up, she saw that Naoto Yoshihara was squatting in front of her, and her face suddenly turned red, and she squeaked and said, "This ...... Yes, Yoshihara-kun. That one...... After the visit, Yayoi-chan said that he wanted to buy a gift for the vegetable sauce, so we stopped by and went to the mall, because only high-end shopping malls are open, and I happened to come across these knives, and I thought......"

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and she felt a little ashamed - the main thing was that these knives were too expensive, and this was the first time she had bought a luxury item in her life, and she felt very uncomfortable for a while!

Yayoi Satsuki got a card with 20 million yen in it, which was definitely a lot of money for a thirteen-year-old girl.

She was first ready to move, wanting to try the taste of shopping with a credit card, and wanting to thank Nana Hoshino for buying a gift, so she mobilized Miki Momonomiya to take her to the mall after the visit. During the Chinese New Year, the small shops were basically closed, and only large shopping malls and commercial buildings continued to make money regardless of whether employees needed to celebrate the New Year or not, so Miki Momonomiya led Satsuki Yayoi into a large commercial building that she could only see from a distance - her family conditions were okay when she was young, and her age plummeted, and she had to pick a cheap supermarket or something like that if she didn't get into the mall, she would have to follow her to heaven if it weren't for Hoshino Nana's way and she also ascended to heaven, she would definitely not have the confidence to enter this kind of place.

First accompanied Satsuki Yayoi to pick out a gift, let Satsuki Yayoi learn how to pay the bill by card, on the way back she accidentally saw this WFM German Damascus professional kitchen knife set, suddenly unable to walk.

This is the equipment she used to dream of, a word-of-mouth masterpiece launched by a top kitchenware brand with a history of more than 150 years and an independent professional design studio.

The entry-level level also starts at 100,000 yen, or a 20-centimeter-long home version, and the price of a professional knife for the chef will be several times higher, not to mention the suit, such as hammering **, chef's knife, auxiliary knife, long bread knife, boning knife, bone crushing knife, fish knife, hook knife and so on, not cheaper than buying a car.

She lay down in the window and looked at it for a long time, fantasizing that there would be such a set of knives that would be used for a lifetime and passed on to her daughter in the future...... It wasn't until she attracted the attention of the salesperson that she was the opponent of those salespeople who were professional and cute, and the dead could say that they were alive, so she swiped the card in a daze, and realized that something was wrong when she was about to enter the house.

But even if she thinks she shouldn't buy it, she still can't put it down when she looks at this set of knives - she has this hobby, just like playing games and always wanting to have the best weapons, not that she can't play with ordinary weapons, and the psychological satisfaction is always different.

Miki Momomiya's voice was low for a while, and she peeked at Naoto Yoshihara's face, and her mind turned sharply, for fear that Naoto Yoshihara would treat her as a woman who was good at losing her family, so she quickly stabilized her mind again, took the knife and showed it to Naoto Yoshihara, and said in her mouth: "It's still worth buying these knives, Yoshihara-kun, you see that this is made of Damascus steel, even the handle of the knife, and you see that the patterns on it are also very beautiful, they are all etched by hand, and there will be no second piece of the same......" Her voice became smaller and smaller again, and finally reluctantly, " The quality is really good, it can be used for a lifetime, and it also has collection value, which can be used as an heirloom. ”

Naoto Yoshihara took the knife curiously and tried it, it was really sharp enough, there was no problem in chopping off people's heads with a knife, it was indeed a good knife, and he couldn't help but smile and asked: "It is indeed a good knife, Miki, how much does it cost?" Alas...... What are you nervous about, I scared you with a knife?"

He had a criminal record, so he hurriedly returned the knife to Miki Momomiya, only to hear her bow her head and whisper: "New Year's discount, it's ...... Two hundred and ninety-nine ...... 10,000 yen. ”

Naoto Yoshihara gasped, and spent three million yen to buy a set of knives? He didn't recognize the brand of kitchen utensils, and he felt that he could still use a kitchen knife to cut people, and he didn't want to cut off his skull to chop his neck, and he had the impression that fifteen yuan a handful was readily available......

He quickly converted it into dollars according to the exchange rate, less than 30,000 dollars, and finally felt less surprised, but soon he noticed the depressed look on Miki Momonomiya's face, and said strangely: "Why are you unhappy again, didn't I see you like it just now?"

Miki Momonomiya covered the box and whispered, "Don't you think Yoshihara-kun thinks it's too expensive? I shouldn't buy this, in fact, I'm still very good at living a budget, but I'm ...... today."

Naoto Yoshihara thinks it doesn't matter, it's hard to buy money and happy, Miki Momomiya has a good heart, Nana Hoshino is righteous, and you can buy clothes or kitchen knives if you want to buy a red thing, as long as you like it......

He no longer paid attention to this issue, and said with a casual smile: "If you like it, it's not expensive! Money is for spending, and if you don't spend it, it's just some waste paper! You don't spend it all and have no money to eat." ”

Miki Momonomiya looked nervously at his expression and asked, "Does Yoshihara-kun really not mind?"

"Of course I don't mind......" Naoto Yoshihara has always thought that Miki Momomiya, the panda girl, is very good everywhere, but she can't get along with his brain - she spends her own money, what does he mind?

He already looked at the refrigerator and asked with a smile, "I'm hungry, Mimura, what do you eat at noon?" I saw you fried meatballs the day before yesterday, let's eat meatballs at noon, how about meatballs and broth rice cakes?"

Momomiya Miki glanced at Naoto Yoshihara carefully, and found that he really didn't care about the high-priced kitchen knife, so he was immediately relieved, his spirit was lifted, he opened the box and took out the kitchen knife, only to feel that the cooking skills of the knife in his hand had doubled, and said softly: "No problem, Yoshihara-kun, I will cook whatever Miki wants to eat for you!"

In the living room, Nana Hoshino dragged Yayoi Satsuki into the kotatsu...... What a leisurely life!
