Chapter 75 Glutinous rice fruit sushi

Chen Yan suspected that Ogami was an extraordinary person.

There is no evidence, just a strong intuition.

Can a normal person learn an Asian language in two days and be able to joke in Imperial dialect proficiently?

It's impossible no matter what.

When Chen Yan sat down at the dining table, the idea of ​​continuing to think disappeared.

Instead, there was an extreme desire for the food in front of me.

Glutinous rice nuts are used to make sushi.

A kind of cold food commonly eaten by people in Sakura country.

Chen Yan had seen people from Yingguo eat this kind of thing on a cruise ship before. The sushi made with the freshest ingredients is often much better-looking than the traditional food of other ethnic groups.

The same goes for the sushi on the cutting board in front of you:

Glutinous rice and egg yolks wrapped in lettuce-like green vegetable leaves are covered with a layer of jam that looks like ketchup.

Under the dim kerosene lamp and moonlight, the sushi roll looked particularly cute.

Cute and very delicious looking.

Chen Yan really couldn't hold it back, suppressed his hunger, and imitated those people from Yingguo who had seen him before, saying "I'm ready" before eating, then picked up a roll of sushi half the size of a palm, and stuffed it into his mouth.

.

Chewed twice.

Huh……

Chen Yan's eyes were dull.

This taste... doesn't seem quite right...

He subconsciously turned to look at Ogami.

Ogami also devoured a roll of sushi with a slightly twisted expression on his face.

Nuomiguo put his hands on his chest. Seeing the expressions of the two people, his eyes suddenly became very nervous and he asked in an uneasy tone:

"What's going on...isn't it delicious? I...this is my first time...if I don't do it well, please forgive me..."

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, until by the time she finished speaking, the pitch of the last word was barely audible.

Chen Yan only thought for a moment, then chewed twice and swallowed the half-chewed sushi in one go.

“It’s delicious!”

Chen Yan showed a surprised expression.

Ogami looked at his expression and was completely shocked.

But because he was too exhausted, his surprise was more reflected in his dull expression on his face.

When Chen Yan's second roll of sushi had already entered his mouth, Ogami reacted, chewed twice in a hurry, and swallowed the first roll of sushi.

"It's... very delicious!"

The expression on Ogami's face became even more distorted. He obviously didn't know how to control his expression.

The expression of surprise on Chen Yan's face continued, and he had already swallowed the second roll of sushi.

The cold, bloody cod meat mixed with the raw lettuce leaves made his stomach cramp.

But he restrained this feeling very well, and stretched out his hand to give Nuomi Guo a thumbs up.

"It's great! Is this really the first time for Nuomiguo to make this kind of food?"

Nuomiguo felt happy because of his praise, and her little face couldn't help showing a happy expression.

Ogami looked at the surprised expression on Chen Yan's face, and then at the happy expression on Nuomiguo's face. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and the sushi almost fell out of her mouth.

He probably understood what Chen Yan meant, but he didn't know if it was correct. He couldn't make a decision for a moment, so he could only do what Chen Yan did and eat the sushi with a "satisfied" attitude.

Nuomiguo even showed a hint of surprise when she saw Ogami trying hard to eat sushi.

But due to lack of confidence, Nuomiguo's tone was still uneasy.

"Is it really delicious?"

Chen Yan nodded vigorously, and the fourth roll of sushi was already eaten.

Nuomi Guo looked at Oga Mi.

Ogami's hand holding the third roll of sushi began to tremble.

The cold cod meat was fermenting in his stomach, and the smell of tomato sauce came out of his nose. It was an indescribable and terrifying smell.

As a samurai, it's not like he has never eaten raw food.

But the sushi in front of him still made him feel for the first time in his life that raw cod meat mixed with jam and lettuce could be so unpalatable.

But there were still six full rolls of sushi in front of him - considering Ogami and Chen Yan's appetite, Nuomi Guo made enough sushi for a large chopping board.

Ogami looked at the six rolls of sushi in front of him, and even recalled in his mind the fear he had when facing a certain terrifying existence many years ago. It was a thundering night, and the reed flowers in Ashina City were still blooming. Among the reeds, he encountered

The most terrifying enemy in this life has arrived...

Suddenly, a small, almost inaudible voice interrupted his memory.

"Don't let a little girl down..."

Ogami was chewing sushi and turned around, only to see the corners of Chen Yan's mouth twitching slightly towards him.

Ogami suddenly couldn't hold himself tight.

Landlady, can you actually do ventriloquism?

"You can't let a child down...look at her hands...she was even injured trying to make this meal..."

Chen Yan could control his voice to be very quiet. Such a small sound was simply not worth mentioning amidst the sounds of Ogami chewing and smacking his lips.

The latter was obviously persuaded by Chen Yan. He picked up the remaining sushi as if he was dead and started chewing vigorously.

Nuomi Guo was so happy that she even took out a small notebook and wrote down the sushi "recipe" with a pen found in the hall.

Ogami was heartbroken.

Many years later, when he was on his way home from the east, Ogami could still clearly remember the first dinner he made after the glutinous rice nuts came to the empire.

…

After dinner, Chen Yan endured the cramps in his stomach and asked an important question.

"By the way, Ogami, are you ready to find a job?"

When this topic was mentioned, Nuomiguo immediately straightened up and waited seriously for the conversation between the two.

Ogami was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Work……"

He had a lot of gold bars, but those gold bars couldn't be exchanged for empire money.

It's not like he didn't try to find an underground bank, but just this morning, he was robbed at an underground bank in Xiacheng District.

As a last resort, he chopped off several heads.

That's not what he likes to do - killing is not what he likes to do.

Maybe... finding a less busy job and earning some of the empire's common currency is something that can be considered?

"I would like to hear the details." Ogami said.

Chen Yan nodded and subconsciously covered his stomach with his hands.

"Life in the empire is not easy, but as long as you work, you can get the guarantee of survival.

What we Asians are least afraid of is hardship, isn’t it?”

Ogami also covered her stomach with one hand: "What kind of work can I do?"

Chen Yan replied: "Now that you have learned Imperial Language, you can apply for some high-paying jobs.

The rich people in the center of Yanan are in short supply of skilled warriors as bodyguards, and I think you will be able to do the job."

A look of surprise appeared on Ogami's face: "When I went out this time, I did see the revelation of recruiting warriors outside."

He frowned: "It seems to be some kind of bodyguard company...the salary is 8 pence a day?"

Chen Yan was shocked: "Being a bodyguard is very dangerous! How can you do it for 8 pennies a day? What's more, you have to earn money for Nuomi Guo to go to school!"

Next, he gave Ogami a detailed list of what kind of benefits a serious job in the empire would bring.
