After finishing his collar, Toru Ito got dressed and walked out of the house with the key.

"What do you want to eat?"

Standing at the door, Toru Ito also stopped and looked at the two streets on the left and right, one of which led to the snack street, where there was a lot of delicious food, as well as barbecue, seafood, and so on.

In this era when the sea is polluted, the price of seafood is very expensive, but it is not so expensive that people can't accept it, and it is still okay to eat it once in a while.

After all, as early as hundreds of years ago, there were people with lofty ideals at that time, who had a great vision to establish an inland sea and a system of cultivated seafood.

Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the seafood has been firmly controlled by the upper echelons from the beginning, and then gradually overflowing, and slowly flowing back into the bottom.

The cycle repeats itself, like the wheel of history, leaving only a shallow rut on the heavy stone monument.

On the other side of the street, there is a small supermarket with oden, some snacks, and some household items.

Looking at the streets in two different directions, Toru Ito also fell into the process of thinking, he came out to have a simple supper, but he didn't know what he wanted to eat?

I just wanted to eat it, and I didn't think much about it.

Without thinking about it for too long, Toru Ito quickly made a decision to eat a supper, not in abundance, not in quantity, but just because he wanted to eat it and relieve the cravings in his stomach.

"So, go to the convenience store and buy some oden, the special white radish and meatballs cooked in white soup taste very tempting~"

Ziyu~

When I think of the oden that I once tasted, the delicious soup is soft, and the delicious white radish soaked in the flavor of the soup and the meatballs full of meat flavor rise up after a while.

All of a sudden, it aroused Ito's sense of taste and made him look forward to it silently in his heart.

Toru Ito also walked towards the street on the left, and there were street lamps every few meters, silently shining.

At the end of the street, turn a corner, and not far away is a still lit convenience store, similar to supermarkets in China, selling snacks, such as towels and toothbrushes.

When he was about to walk to the door of the convenience store, Toru Ito also saw a long wooden chair next to a garbage can, and in the slightly dim scenery, there was a thin figure with a faint shrunk figure, her legs together on the bench, her head lowered, her arms wrapped around her knees, looking very pitiful and weak.

When he got closer, Toru Ito saw the whole picture of this thin figure more clearly, only to see that she was a young girl, still wearing black school clothes, a red tie on her slightly poor chest, and short hair hanging down slightly, like the ears of a poor puppy.

The small face under the black bangs was round, and a pair of big amber eyes glanced at it, and Ito Tetsuya, who was passing by, lowered his head silently, like a poor puppy waiting to be picked up.

"What is she doing here? It's so late and not going home? ”

When passing by, Toru Ito just glanced a few more times because of her beauty, and some natural thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he went directly to the convenience store in front of him, and didn't pay attention to the girl sitting on the bench anymore.

"Hello, Uncle Longtian, how is business today?"

Walking into the store, Toru Ito also waved his hand and shouted at the uncle standing next to the money detector.

This uncle named Tatsuda is the manager of this convenience store, and by the way, he works part-time as a salesperson and porter, that is, he is the only one in the entire convenience store.

Because I used to go to this convenience store to buy some daily necessities, I often came and went, but Ito Toru and Uncle Tatsuda gradually became familiar with each other, and became friends who would shout outside.

"Wow! Ito! It's been a long time since I've seen you coming. ”

"Come here so late, are you buying a late-night snack again? Craving something? My oden here has just been cut with some fresh ingredients and put it on to cook. ”

Because Toru Ito had been late at night a few times before, he came to him to buy oden for supper, and an uncle named Tatsuda also got up from his seat and said to Toru Ito with a smile.

Toru Ito also glanced at the oden in the shop with a boiling white mist, and a fresh smell poured into the tip of his nose, which also whetted his appetite.

"Uncle Tatsuda, what else is the oden that is boiling now?" Toru Ito also looked at the oden and asked.

Uncle Long Tian thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well, the white radish, meatballs, and Luo Womentian, fish tofu, potato cubes, and corn that you like to eat are available, and I can't remember the others, so there should be left." ”

"Well, there are a few things I like to eat, but that's enough."

After Uncle Tatsuda finished speaking, Toru Ito also nodded.

The two of them walked towards Oden.

After a few steps, Uncle Longtian, who was wearing a white apron, had already skillfully held a round cardboard box, which looked quite large and enough to hold a lot of things.

Then, Uncle Tatsuda stopped in front of the oden machine, looked at Toru Ito, and asked, "Ito, look, what do you want?" ”

In the oden nine-square grid in front of Ito Tetsuya, there are a lot of ingredients boiling, and the white radish, meatballs, corn, tofu, etc., which he likes to eat, are mostly vegetable oden, and the white soup is full of hazy and fresh fragrance, which makes Ito Tetsuya's saliva flow involuntarily.

It smells so good.

Without thinking too much, Toru Ito also pointed to a few of his favorite ingredients with his hand, and said, "Uncle Longtian, give me a few skewers of white radish, meatballs, corn, potatoes and fried tofu." ”

"Is that all?"

Scooping out the ingredients that Tetsuya Ito ordered and putting them in the carton, Uncle Tatsuda asked again.

Toru Ito also thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are there any new products in the store lately?" Uncle Longtian, can you recommend it to me, and I'll try it. ”

This convenience store often makes different seasonal vegetables and adds them to oden, which are delicious at first and some not, but always a bold experiment, with a sense of novelty and freshness, and fun.

Residents living in the neighborhood occasionally come to the convenience store to buy this new addition just to experience a different kind of freshness.

Ito Toru has eaten it a few times before, there are mushrooms, cabbage, rice cakes, and the mushroom oden boiled in the delicious soup tastes good, and Ito Toru is more satisfied with it, but the taste of the latter items is not very good, which is also the feeling he got after tasting the new dishes several times.

Faced with Tetsuya Ito's inquiry, Uncle Tatsuda in front of the oden vendor thought slowly for a while, and then pointed to a oden and introduced with a smile: "This is a new dish I recently tried, cutting beef into small pieces and skewering it on a skewer, after making it, people who have eaten it say that it tastes good, Ito, if you want to try it, you can buy a little to try it, I also recommend this." ”

"Well, Uncle Longtian recommended it, I naturally believe it, just come to the strings you said." Toru Ito didn't hesitate and said very heartily.

In the face of Toru Ito, who believes in him so much, Uncle Tatsuda, who is the manager of the convenience store, is obviously very happy, and he also adds a few extra strings of oden to Toru Ito.

Finally, Toru Ito was holding a box of oden with a rich, milky white broth, which contained dozens of skewers, and it looked delicious.
