"Because I have to work overtime today, I haven't eaten anything since noon, which makes you laugh." The female white-collar worker explained in a low voice, her face flushed. And the person she explained to was naturally Qingye not far away. "It doesn't matter. I can only blame the boss for making the food so delicious. In fact, I often feel hungry." Qingye said with a smile. After listening to Qingye¡¯s words, the female white-collar worker also laughed, but the embarrassment was relieved a lot. "Uesugi, are you complimenting me?" Ono, the manager who had already made the tonkatsu rice, said with a smile as he walked out of the kitchen. "I'm just stating the facts." Aoba said with a shrug. "Thank you for the compliment," Manager Ono said with a smile. At the same time, he placed the fried pork cutlet rice in front of the female white-collar worker and said, "Please use it slowly." "Thank you, I'm not welcome." The female white-collar worker couldn't wait to grab it. After passing the chopsticks and clasping his hands together, he picked up the bowl and started eating. "Well, it's delicious!" As the first bite of fried pork cutlet rice was taken into her mouth, the female white-collar worker narrowed her eyes with happiness and said vaguely while chewing in her mouth. So the female white-collar worker took a bite of fried pork cutlet and rice, and then kept stuffing fried pork cutlet and rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls, and soon half of the bowl of rice was gone. And the manager Ono looked at the female white-collar worker eating with her mouth bulging, with a happy look on her face, and a happy smile naturally appeared on her face. It was naturally a very happy thing for the food she cooked to be recognized by others. ¡°Boss, here¡¯s another jug ??of plum wine.¡± Aoba, who had finished drinking the plum wine, raised the jug in his hand and signaled. "Okay, wait a minute." Manager Ono took the wine bottle and turned around to drink again. But at this moment, the female white-collar worker who had just swallowed the last mouthful of pork chop rice called out to store manager Ono. "Boss, please have another bowl of fried pork cutlet rice." The female white-collar worker seemed to have regained her energy because of eating delicious food. She put down the bowl with one hand and said loudly to the store manager Ono. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? But the female white-collar worker looked at her and wanted to have another bowl. Store Manager Ono was stunned. "Would you like another bowl?" Apparently he had never seen a girl who was so good at eating, so Ono was stunned for a moment. "Well, let me think about it." The female white-collar worker hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head as if she had made up her mind. "No. I still want two bowls." "Two bowls? Tonkatsu rice?" Manager Ono watched and changed one bowl to The female white-collar worker who had two bowls was completely stunned this time. After all, looking at the figure of the female white-collar worker, she doesn¡¯t look like she can eat two more bowls of fried pork cutlet rice! "That's right, two bowls, please." The female white-collar worker said loudly again. Only then did store manager Ono wake up. "Okay, wait a moment." Manager Ono nodded solemnly, turned around and walked into the kitchen. He first gave Aoye another bottle of wine, then put it in front of Aoye, and then prepared the fried pork chops. meal. Aoba took the plum wine, poured himself a glass, and continued to drink slowly. But after ordering two more bowls of fried pork cutlet rice, the female white-collar worker remembered that there was Aoba sitting not far away from her, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, a girl has to eat three large bowls of fried pork cutlet rice. It's a bit too shameful no matter how you think about it. But now that I want to modify it, it is just to hide it, so the female white-collar worker can only blush with embarrassment and pretend to look around at the scenery. "Actually, I have a female friend who is very good at eating. She can eat pork chop rice like this easily, even if it takes thirty bowls, so it's just three bowls, it's not a big deal." Aoba In order to ease the embarrassment, he said with a smile. ??????????????????? Indeed, the female white collar has a great appetite. It's even close to catching up with the so-called big eaters on TV, but after all, it still can't be compared with white ghosts. ¡°After all, white ghosts are not human beings at all. The food they eat is directly converted into energy, so there is no problem of eating more or less. Basically, it doesn't matter how much you eat, let alone thirty bowls, even three hundred bowls will be fine. Of course, in order not to scare others, Aoba did not dare to say so much, but even if it was thirty bowls. It was already amazing and immediately attracted the attention of the female white-collar worker. "Thirty bowls? Can anyone really eat that much?" The female white-collar worker was immediately surprised. "Of course you can, she lives in the same apartment as me, and I can see her every day." Aoba said confidently. "It's so awesome, I really want to meet you if I have the chance!" the female white-collar worker said with a yearning look on her face. Obviously, because of her ability to eat, the female white-collar worker doesn't have any particularly good friends.?So I naturally want to meet people who can also eat. "There will be a chance. Who can say for sure about things in this world!" Qingye said with a smile. "Ah, by the way, since she can eat so much, can you please help me pass this on to her?" The female white-collar worker suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out a promotional sheet from her bag. , handed his hands to Qingye and said. "What is this?" Qingye took the flyer in confusion and saw the information printed on the flyer. "This is a flyer for a competition called Tokyo Big Eater. I accidentally met someone on the street and handed it out." The female white-collar worker said with some embarrassment. "You want to participate?" Qingye looked at the female white-collar worker and asked. "Yes, I think if I go to participate, I will meet many people like me, right? I laugh because I am always made fun of because of my ability to eat, so I really want to meet some people who are like me. The same person!" the female white-collar worker said with a shy smile. "That's right! I think you will meet someone like you." Qingye smiled and nodded. "Well, I'll do my best!" The female white-collar worker nodded and smiled. "I will give this flyer to her, but I don't know if she will participate." Aoba glanced at the flyer in his hand and said. "Really? Thank you! I believe she will participate." The female white-collar worker said with certainty. "Why are you so likely that she will participate?" Qingye looked at the female white-collar worker puzzled and asked. "It's very simple! Because we are the same kind of people! I believe that she must be as distressed and lonely as me, so she will never let go of this opportunity to meet many people like us. ¡± The female white-collar worker explained with a smile. "Are you lonely?" Qingye thought about Bai Gui, who was always at home alone, and nodded slowly. "I understand. I will teach her the flyers and try my best to get her to participate. Thank you very much." Qingye finally raised his head and looked at the female white-collar worker and thanked her. "Huh? I'm obviously asking you for help, so why are you thanking me?" the female white-collar worker said, waving her hands continuously. "After all, she is my friend! Of course I want to thank you for caring about her so much." Qingye said with a smile. At this moment, Manager Ono also prepared two more portions of fried pork cutlet rice. And walked out with a bowl in one hand. "Two bowls of fried pork cutlet rice, please use it slowly." Manager Ono said as he placed the pork cutlet rice in front of the female white-collar worker. "Well, you're welcome then." So the female white-collar worker immediately forgot to argue with Qingye about who should say thank you, and immediately grabbed the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and ate. Qingye looked at the white-collar woman eating sweetly. He smiled and shook his head, turned around and continued to drink plum wine and eat his portion of fried pork chop. Soon, the female white-collar worker ate up the two bowls of fried pork cutlet rice like a storm, but she looked like she still had something to say. It was obvious that he was still not full, but he was hesitating whether to continue eating. "How is it? Do you want to eat more?" Store manager Ono stood behind the counter and asked the female white-collar worker gently with a smile. "Well, then give me another bowl of fried pork cutlet rice." The female white-collar worker finally made up her mind. "Okay, a bowl of fried pork cutlet and rice, please wait a moment." Manager Ono happily turned around and went to make it again. ¡°After all, aside from the fact that a girl can eat so well, how could Manager Ono be unhappy when he saw the food he cooked being eaten by customers who couldn¡¯t get enough of it? "That's right! Just eat what you want, why bother about other people's opinions." Qingye said with a smile. "That's what I say. But it's not easy to do it!" The female white-collar worker said with some sigh. "By the way, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name! My name is Uesugi Aoba, please take care of me." Aoba raised his glass and gestured. "Oops, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm so rude! I'm Tatsuko Kida, please give me your advice." The female white-collar worker named Tatsuko Kida immediately bowed slightly to Aoba and introduced herself. "So it's Ms. Kida! Speaking of which, Ms. Kida has already decided to participate in the Tokyo Big Eater Competition!" Aoba finally confirmed. "Yes, I will definitely participate." Tatsuko Kida nodded solemnly. "I understand, I will try my best to let Xiaobai go." Qingye nodded and replied. "Is that girl who is very delicious, her name is Baijiang?"??Dazi murmured to himself. But she has not yet waited for her to think about it. In the end, he asked Aoba whether he wanted to ask Shirono, the store manager, and he came over with the already prepared fried pork cutlet rice. "Pork cutlet rice, please use it slowly." Manager Ono said as he placed the tonkatsu rice in front of Kida Tatsuko. "Thank you, then I'll start." Tatsuko Kida saw the delicious food. I immediately forgot what I was thinking about just now, so I focused all my attention on the food in front of me. And as Kida Tatsuko picked up the bowl and put the fried pork cutlet rice into her mouth, the things she was thinking about just now were thrown out of her mind and she couldn't remember them at all. Aoye looked at Kida Tatsuko eating at this moment, with a smile on his face. Looking at each other with store manager Ono who also had a kind smile on his face, the corners of their mouths curled up in unison. Then Aoba stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the last piece of fried pork cutlet on the plate in front of him, chewing it slowly in his mouth. After finishing the last bite of fried pork cutlet, Aoye drank the last glass of plum wine and put down the glass. Slowly stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°Boss, check out!¡± Qingye took out his wallet and said. "Maekei, one thousand two hundred yen." Store manager Ono said the amount Aoba spent today. "Okay, see you later, boss." Aoba said goodbye while placing the right amount of banknotes on the counter. "See you later." Manager Ono put away the money on the counter and said the same with a smile. Qingye nodded, turned around and walked towards the sliding door. And just as Aoba turned around, he glanced at Tatsuko Kida, who was still eating pork cutlet rice. The other person was obviously completely immersed in the deliciousness of the pork cutlet rice, and he didn't even notice that Aoba was leaving. So Aoba decided not to disturb others enjoying the food, and just nodded slightly as a farewell to Kida Tatsuko, who was still eating so much, and then opened the sliding door and left. Not long after Aoba left, Kida Tatsuko finally finished the bowl of fried pork cutlet rice and put down the bowl in her hand with a satisfied look on her face, while a happy smile appeared on her face. "I'm so full! Huh? Where did Uesugi-kun go?" Only then did Tatsuko Kida realize that Aoba was missing. ¡°Uesugi had just left, while Miss Kida was enjoying the delicious food.¡± Manager Ono explained with a smile. "Huh? I actually did something so rude? Uesugi-kun must be angry!" Tatsuko Kida said full of self-blame. "Don't take it to heart, Ms. Kida. Uesugi is not someone who gets angry over such a trivial matter! Don't worry!" Store manager Ono comforted Kida Tatsuko with a smile. "Really?" Kida Tatsuko asked with some worry. "Of course, I've known him for more than a day or two, I promise." Store manager Ono crossed his arms across his chest and nodded. Tatsuko Kida felt a little relieved now, but it was obvious that he was still not completely relieved. But Qingye could no longer see everything that happened in Onotei. After leaving Onotei, Aoba did not continue to wander around. It was getting very late, and it was indeed time to go back and rest. So Aoba did not continue walking leisurely along the alley, but walked out of the alley where Onotei was and came to the street, and walked along the street in the direction of the apartment. There were not many people on the brightly lit streets. It was already late at night, so even some bustling commercial streets were starting to become deserted at this moment. Qingye was walking alone on this empty street. From time to time, some bosozoku would roar by on motorcycles. Occasionally, there are gangsters passing by in the alleys, gathering inside and not knowing what they are doing, but as long as they don't do anything harmful, Qingye doesn't bother to care about them. And when those little gangsters looked at Qingye who was alone, they didn¡¯t come looking for trouble, so they were lucky enough to escape! (To be continued.)
