Chapter 24 Grocery shopping.

Yu felt that at least this time he would stop complaining about Hinoki, who looked like the heroine of a shoujo manga.

Although I have already thought about it.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Hinoki lowered his head and looked at Yu.

"Anything is fine, I will eat everything except bugs." Yu said very seriously.

"No matter what I say, I won't let you eat bugs..." The corners of Hinoki's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he led Yu to the vegetable shop that the teacher mentioned before.

The shop is not big, and there are not many types of vegetables, but the more common ones include lettuce, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, etc. and other vegetables that are often eaten.

There is also a relatively large basket nearby, which is specially used for seasonings, etc., including onions, ginger, garlic, and other loose or bagged spices.

"I want to eat that kind of pancake...the kind that's fried, the kind that's thinner, the kind that's made from dough, not batter."

Yu let go of Hinoki's hand and ran to the side to pick up a bag of potatoes that had been sealed and had a price tag on it.

She held the bag of potatoes and looked left and right, then hesitantly picked up a bundle of carrots wrapped in plastic wrap and also with a price tag on them.

[Cut into shreds and stir-fry... although cooked carrots are not very tasty.]

"Well, let's buy some flour later -"

Hino took some disposable sealed boxes provided by the vegetable store, opened the corresponding glass cover in the spice section, picked up a small spoon and scooped some bulk into the now open small box.

Yu thought for a while and put the potatoes and carrots into one of the baskets facing the door. Then he picked up the basket and put it next to the cypress. After thinking for a while, he went to get a big basket nearby. Bundle green onions.

[If you add some green onions to the shredded potatoes, it will be more fragrant... You can also make green onion pancakes.]

With this thought in mind, she also went to the vegetable store counter to pick up a disposable box and put it in front of the cypress.

"...? Is there anything you want?" Hui picked up the small box and asked.

Yu couldn't reach the top. Before, he had to stand on tiptoe to get other dishes from the outermost ones.

"Sesame!" Yu nodded vigorously and explained what he wanted.

"Okay, wait a minute -" Hui first put aside the half-filled box he took, closed the glass lid of the one just now, and opened the jar with sesame seeds.

——For those small boxes, the vegetable store's seasoning "headquarters" is more like... a glass jar than a big box.

Although it is heavy to move, its sealing is better than that of ordinary boxes.

——The glass cover has silicone edges all around, which can be said to be a perfect seal.

Yu turned his attention to other vegetables.

[Green pepper……]

Although she doesn't like to eat it, everyone says it is nutritious.

[Just think of it as for your health.]

With this in mind, she picked some red, yellow and ordinary green peppers and silently put them into the shopping basket.

[At least the colored ones look easier to eat...]

For other vegetables, the fresher the better, there is no need to buy them now.

Yu saw the cabbage over there and wondered if he should buy one.

This can be made into a filling or a side dish, both are delicious, crisp and refreshing.

She suddenly recalled the vegetable stuffed buns she had eaten at Hui's house.

Although there is no meat in it, it is quite delicious.

"elder brother--"

Yuba pulled off a cabbage that was also wrapped in plastic wrap and had a price tag, carried it to the cypress and pulled his trouser legs.

"What's wrong?" Hui was trying to break off a few stacked plastic box lids and snap on the previously packed condiments.

It doesn't matter to Yu, but Hino isn't used to the bottled seasonings sold in supermarkets or convenience stores...

"The cabbage buns that morning were delicious." Yu hugged the cabbage and winked at him.

"Hmm...then I'll make and wrap the vegetables tomorrow morning." Hinoki smiled and took the cabbage from Yu's hand and put it in the basket.

"No, it's too early in the morning. Do you need to get up early to prepare? Is it okay at night? There is enough time to prepare. You need to have a good rest."

Yu patted his leg maturely.

"Haha, thank you, but it doesn't matter. I have been sleeping before this afternoon... I may not be able to sleep tonight. Don't worry, I will pay more attention."

After Hino fastened the lid of the small box of sesame seeds that Yu wanted, he put it into her hand and gently touched her hair.

"...Hmm." Yu placed the box of sesame seeds firmly in the corner of the shopping basket.

[As long as it's not a stranger, touching hair or something is fine.]

Yuya raised his hand and patted his head.

My hair was shaggy, and the process of scratching it from the top of my head down was not very smooth.

When your hair grows long, it gets tangled easily, and you can only comb it out with a comb...

"Brother, I want to cut my hair shorter. It's too annoying. If I get into a fight with my classmates, it won't be good if my hair is pulled..." Yu grabbed the hair on his shoulders and used another He gestured with his fingers like scissors, "The hair at the back should be from the ear to the ear and a little below. I can do the front by myself. Can you help me?"

Yu started to pull at Hinoki's trouser legs again.

"Do you want to cut hair? I'm not very good at it. I used to get my hair cut at a nearby barber shop." Hinoki stared at Huiyu's hair and couldn't help but touch the hair on the back of his head.

"It's okay, I don't blame you if the cut is damaged." Yu smiled at him and turned around to pick other dishes.

-

There were a lot of things that I bought and it was not convenient to carry them. When Hinoki finished paying the bill and was worried, he suddenly thought of the cart that he had brought to Konoha. Then he discussed it with the boss and left the packed things here with Yuto. I ran home and planned to bring the cart with me.

"It's a new face...Is that your brother just now?"

It was getting late, and there were almost no customers. The boss, who was in a bored state, leaned on the counter with his face propped up on the table, and looked at Yu who was not far from the door with a pile of shopping baskets for company.

"Well, we just moved to Konoha yesterday, and we will live here from now on." Yu wanted to find a basket to sit on, but he was afraid that he would have to pay for it if the seat broke, so after debating for a while, he still stood beside it honestly. Move around.

"That's it." The boss put an arm on the counter, leaned down and opened the window under the counter, rummaged around and took out two sealed boxes of miso bean paste, walked around the counter and walked to Yu's side. , "Then we can be regarded as neighbors from now on. I invite you and your brother to visit more in the future. These two boxes can be regarded as gifts."

He put the two boxes of miso into the bag before, stood up and stretched facing the door.

"Phew - I'm going to close the store in a while. There's no one around at night. Isn't your brother back yet?"

Although the boss runs a store, he seems to have no motivation.

He opened the door and looked out onto the street.

"Do you know what will happen to vegetables that no one buys even after the store is closed?"

There was no one on the street. After closing the door, the boss found two small mats, placed one next to Yu, and the other farther away from Yu, and sat on it himself.

"Thank you, uncle -...will those dishes become dinner at uncle's house?" Yu is indeed quite curious. She has only heard that if the convenience store bento is about to expire, it has the opportunity to become the employee meal that night.

But most of the time they are thrown away.

"Hahahahaha, some of them do, but most of them are sold on consignment at a reduced price in the supermarket next door."

(?※The price of this product is the same as in Ultra Storm 4, which is basically the price of ordinary neon coins. Most of the other ↓ and so on are written by me because I am not a store manager and have no experience.

Have you ever worked part-time at a place like this...?)

The vegetable shop owner randomly picked up a bag of bean sprouts and pointed to the expiration date next to the price tag.

The date is...uh...

Yu suddenly realized that he didn't know what month and day today was, so he didn't know whether the deadline was today or the next day.

"If it has not been sold half a day before this time, it will be sold at a discount based on this price. Usually, people prefer to go to the supermarket than to the vegetable store, so there is no need to go to the supermarket when encountering such a discount.

Expired ingredients will make people think, 'It's a good idea to eat this tonight because it's very cheap.'"

As the uncle spoke, he stuffed the bag of bean sprouts, which originally had a very low price, into the bag on the side.

"But in addition to the products that are on expiration date, other vegetables are also provided to the supermarket, so if you want to choose ingredients that can be stored for a little longer, there is no problem at all——"

The uncle smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"Oh - that's it." Yu Bang expressed shock as he read.

-

The uncle at the vegetable store unilaterally pulled Yu to talk to her about the price and deadline. After that, he started talking about how to purchase the goods. Then he put a bunch of parsley in her bag and started chatting with her about how to deal with it better.

eat.

When Hinoki rushed back here with his cart, what he saw was Yuwa, who had a "very happy chat" with his boss, and a shopping bag that seemed to have a lot of things next to it.

"I heard you guys want to buy flour before, right? This cart can't be brought in. It's not good to let your brother stay outside alone. It's so late... I still have a while before I close the store. Let them

Please stay with me for a while and I will take care of it for you."

The vegetable shop uncle enthusiastically took the handle of the cart from Hui's hand, hooked his shoulder and sent him out the door.

“For flour, it is recommended to buy medium-sized portions, the price is more cost-effective!”

Hui still couldn't understand what was going on, and was sent into the supermarket next door in a daze.

After the uncle came back, he helped put the bag beside Yu in the cart, and while stroking his chin, he took some other scattered vegetables and put them in.

"Your brother doesn't look very young. Does he live with you?... It's really not easy."

The uncle sat back on his pony with emotion.

"When I was very young, my parents were gone, so I can understand what it's like to live alone, not to mention that he has a younger brother like you... Speaking of which, my wife is about to give birth. When I think about it, I will Becoming a father makes me a little... at a loss, so now I really want to have more contact with children like you."

"..."

[Although I am very grateful for the donated ingredients, I really want to go back soon.]

------Digression-----

19.12.29.-10-

This chapter was written while listening to the radio of Lao Ka voice actor.

After watching the Noragami meeting, I discovered that Yuba is Inoue Kazuhiko...I noticed before that it was just because he can become Bishamon's mount, and he is also a big lion, and he looks like someone he would like to raise (he likes animals).

The following is the character introduction: "In the extra chapter or four-panel comic, he revealed that he didn't like people treating him as an animal. He revealed that he often felt like he was being treated as a cat, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he was enjoying cherry blossoms, he turned into a lion after drinking and got into the fire. It’s just for fun, I said I practiced it secretly (seemingly very proud of it)”

It’s so cute hhh, and it’s even cuter when I found out it was Inoue (?) who dubbed the voice. I’ll give it a chance to review it again...

(I watched it more than two years ago when I booked a night at an Internet cafe. I watched Noragami in the morning when I had nothing to do. (By the way, I also played Gunslinger, which had just been released at that time...) I started watching it in the afternoon when I didn’t want to play anymore. Noragami, after renewing the night price, I checked there. There was no one there. There were only me and the sleepy network administrator hhh in the Internet cafe. Usually there are a lot of people, but last year the Internet cafe was demolished and replaced with a restaurant... I have been there for several years. I used to go there often. The main reason is that the people there basically don’t yell and curse at people for any reason. I have a relationship with another network administrator’s sister who calls me sister. I feel that the overall quality is quite high. I went there. Other Internet cafes are always scolding me, so I like to go there. I want to sit in the machine at the back, bring my own juice and the Roujiamo from the grilled cold noodles shop next door. I feel very comfortable... For several years, it was closed last year (.
