In this regard, in the face of Miwako Sato's inquiry, Takato and Xiao Ai glanced at each other, and then Takato turned his head and explained to Miwako Sato:

"It's a bit complicated to explain......

"Mainly, when I first entered the store, I felt that the atmosphere in the store was not right, and I noticed that the store manager was suspected to be reprimanding the clerk. Therefore, I was going to go directly, but then, the behavior of the clerk made me stay curious-"

Thinking back to what he saw and heard when he first came into the barbecue restaurant here, Gao Yuan first explained:

"When he saw us push the door in as a guest, the man who seemed to be the manager wanted to let us go with the excuse that the store was about to close, but the female clerk who seemed to have just cried because of the reprimand took the initiative to ask us to stay. That's what made me decide to stay and see, even though I thought it was strange. ”

"Huh? Odd? ”

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Miyamoto Yumi took a pair of chopsticks out of nowhere, picked up the grilled meat on the baking tray in front of Gao Yuan, and some of the self-cooked, self-care picked up the barbecue to eat, and asked curiously while eating.

Then, after tasting a few bites, Yumi Miyamoto's expression suddenly had some surprise-

"Delicious! Mr. Wise, this is what you baked! I can't see it! Next time there's a barbecue party, can I invite you? ”

Big grin, Yumi Miyamoto asked.

Listening to this, Xiao Ai, who was calmly eating barbecue, raised his head slightly and paid attention to the female traffic policeman in front of him, but he immediately seemed to have nothing to do, and continued to eat barbecue calmly.

Yumi...... You're welcome. Anyway, where did you get the chopsticks! ”

However, in the face of his best friend's unceremonious eating of their barbecue, Miwako Sato couldn't help but glance at Yumi Miyamoto, and then asked with some curiosity.

In this regard, Yumi Miyamoto replied with a smile:

"I got it at the counter. Besides, I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I'm really a little hungry, and I can't help it...... Mr. Wise, it's okay, right? ”

At this moment, Yumi Miyamoto listened to Miwako Sato's words, and then asked Takato's opinion.

In this regard, Gao Yuan was helpless in his heart-

It's all like this, and it's impossible for me to refuse......

Although it is said that if Yumi Miyamoto asked herself at the beginning, it would be impossible for him to refuse, but he ......

Well, who made this Yumi Miyamoto.

Because he knew the character of the female traffic policeman in the original work, Gao Yuan didn't have anything that he couldn't understand, just nodded and said to the two people in front of him:

"You're welcome."

Then, hearing what Takato said, Yumi Miyamoto smiled slightly, and then picked up another piece of barbecue and sent it directly to Miwako Sato's mouth, and said with a smile:

"Look, Miwako, Mr. Wise has said so, you can also come and eat!"

In this way, some people can't survive Miyamoto Yumi, Miwako Sato was a little reluctant, but she still took the barbecue handed by Miyamoto Yumi and ate it, but then she felt good, nodded and said:

"It's really good! The heat is just right! ”

Saying this, a little suddenly, realizing that the topic was off track, Miwako Sato continued to repeat the question that Yumi Miyamoto had expressed his doubts just now:

"Ah...... To get back to the point, why do you find it strange? ”

In this way, as the episode just now ended, Gao Yuan continued to explain in the face of the inquiry:

"When I pushed the door open, the female clerk called the man 'Daddy'. But in this case, the scene at that time was a daughter who had just been taught a lesson by her father, and when her father planned to close directly, the daughter directly confronted her father and wanted to continue the business, but after that, the 'father' did not continue to make any accusations against the female clerk......

"Don't you think it's weird here? Originally, because something seemed to be reprimanding his daughter's father, facing his daughter's decision to close in front of him, saying that he would continue to open, this scene felt that the position between them had changed subtly, as if the appearance of the two of us outsiders had broken something, so we felt that something was wrong, so we simply stayed to eat. ”

In this way, listening to what Takato said, Miyamoto Yumi continued to eat the barbecue, chewing in her mouth, looking at Takato's side, nodding silently, as if she felt that Takato was very reasonable.

And Miwako Sato looked at Yumi Miyamoto's almost non-stop action of eating barbecue, and couldn't help but glance at Yumi Miyamoto helplessly, but she didn't know what to say, so she continued to ask Takato:

"And then?"

In this regard, seeing that the barbecue on the baking tray had been eaten, Gao Yuan began to roast new meat with a tong again, and said:

"Then after we sat down, when the female clerk came up with the tableware, she gave us a small dish - bitter gourd tofu with trembling hands."

As he spoke, Gao Yuan's gaze looked at the small plate of tofu on the table that had not been eaten, and gestured.

Seeing this, Miwako Sato was slightly puzzled, and after looking at the plate of tofu, she looked at Takato in confusion, but Miyamoto Yumi didn't care so much, and when she saw that the plate of tofu hadn't eaten much, she picked up the chopsticks and took off a piece, ate it, and then tasted it, looking puzzled:

"No bitter gourd flavor......"

"Yes, it doesn't taste like bitter gourd, so it's not bitter gourd tofu."

Seeing Yumi Miyamoto say this, Takato also explained-

At that time, Xiao Ai also tried the side dish given by the female clerk, and then pretended to be innocent and said "delicious".

However, Gao Yuan knew that Xiao Ai was acting at that time, and she was playing the normal reaction that a little girl would have at that time.

Therefore, if this plate of tofu is a bitter gourd-flavored "bitter gourd tofu", then Xiao Wai at that time would at least show his disgust with the taste of bitter gourd, after all, not everyone can accept the taste of bitter gourd, let alone children.

Therefore, through Xiao Wai's reaction at that time, Gao Yuan knew where the problem was-

"It's not bitter gourd tofu, but the female clerk is sending 'bitter gourd tofu', so there's a problem here."

- Of course, this point can also be understood by trying it yourself at the time, but at that time, it was already found that there was a problem with the situation in the store, so in the face of the meal presented by the female clerk, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai were skeptical, but at that time, Xiao Ai didn't know what to think, and without waiting for himself to stop it, he took the lead in trying a bite for himself, so when he saw Xiao Ai trying this meal, he was very nervous and worried, but fortunately, the tofu was fine, except that it was not bitter gourd tofu, it was ordinary tofu.

Saying that, Gao Yuan thought so in his heart, looked at Xiao Ai, and was inexplicably very moved in his heart, and then saw that the barbecue on the baking tray was almost roasted, so he gave Xiao Ai the first-cooked barbecue clip-

"So...... What's the problem? ”

In this regard, listening to Takato's words, Miwako Sato thought silently for a while, but still couldn't think of a reason, so she could only continue to ask Takato for verification.

So far, Gao Yuan also directly gave an explanation:

"It's still a play on words!"

——Because I just helped Miwako Sato solve the incident of "Sorrowful Lang" eighteen years ago, most of the clues in it are wordplays, so naturally, the thinking of wordplay in Takato's mind immediately reacted at that time-

"At that time, when the female clerk brought the tofu to me, she said, 'It's not the right season, it's not too soft.......'

"'BITTER GOURD TOFU (GO YA TO FU)' is not 'soft (FU YA FU YA)', SO AFTER REMOVING THE SOUND OF 'FU' AND 'YA', IT BECOMES 'GO TO', WHICH SOUNDS LIKE 'ROBBER'." (End of chapter)
