"Sure, I didn't expect you to be so bold."
“Tell me how you got started.”
The lounge was filled with chirping sounds, like dozens of sparrows, which made Shinomiya Mikoto miserable. Even if she explained it, they wouldn't believe it, because they only believed what they thought. So she couldn't help but be very angry with Matsuoka Dong in her heart.
"Okay, why are you all just sitting here and not working?" Matsusaka shouted and the guys dispersed.
After everyone left, Shigong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked, "Thank you, manager."
"It's okay, they just like gossip," Matsusaka said with a smile.
"I know," Shinomiya Mikoto nodded with a smile.
"Well, you've been tired all day today. You should go back and rest early. You look so haggard," Matsusaka suggested.
Shinomiya Mikoto hesitated for a moment and felt that she was indeed very tired, so she nodded and agreed. Anyway, she had already worked for several hours today, and it would be terrible if she was really tired.
After a while, she changed her clothes and said hello: "Then I will go back first, Manager."
"Be careful on the road, and take protective measures to avoid killing anyone, or you will suffer," Matsusaka warned.
"Huh?" Shinomiya Mikoto didn't understand what the following words meant.
But the store manager had gone back to work and she was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, so she could only walk back with her questions in mind, and soon she arrived at Songgang's house.
"Humph, I'm definitely going to punch him today," she said hatefully, shaking her fist as she stood in front of the door.
"I'm back. I thought you'd be late. Dinner isn't ready yet. You can take a shower and then it'll be almost done."
As soon as Shinomiya Mikoto entered the door, she smelled the aroma of meat and immediately swallowed her saliva, because she could tell that this was at least A5 grade Wagyu.
There was no way she was mistaken about the smell; ordinary beef could not have this smell. Because of this smell, she forgot all the anger she had accumulated just now.
"What are you doing?" she asked as she walked to the kitchen.
"I saw there was new beef, so I bought some, made some braised beef in soy sauce, and put some in sukiyaki," Songgang Dong answered while working.
"Use A5 Wagyu beef to make braised beef!?" Of course she knew this dish, but she felt it was such a waste.
Of course she wouldn't care in the past, but now even ordinary beef, not to mention A5 Wagyu, is a luxury for her, and this meat is best made into sashimi or grilled, so she feels very sorry.
It’s okay for Sukiyaki, and it’s also possible to use Wagyu beef for this dish, but the sauced beef has a lot of spices, so the flavor of the meat itself is covered up a lot.
"What's the problem? Come to think of it, I didn't notice that this was A5 Wagyu beef. This is my first time using it to cook, so I guess it must taste very good," Songgang Dong responded after looking at the torn note.
Chapter 14: Eating instant noodles again
Although Shinomiya Mikoto was very upset that the other party wasted such good ingredients, she was now living under someone else's roof, so she just felt depressed and went to take a shower.
"Huh? That's not right. I should be angry. Damn, I was completely attracted to A5." She suddenly came to her senses while soaking in the bathtub.
Songgang Dong was chuckling in the kitchen, finally successfully diverting the other person's attention, and then quickly made dinner to shut the other person's mouth for a while.
"Hmph, don't think that just one meal can make up for what happened during the day," Shinomiya Mikoto said coldly after coming down.
He looked at the girl who was already sitting opposite him, waiting for dinner, speechless. His words were not convincing at all.
"I was wrong for talking nonsense during the day. I'm sorry." Song Gangdong admitted his mistake without making any excuses.
A mistake is a mistake, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Mistakes are inevitable in life. Just have the courage to admit them and reflect on them seriously. This has been his philosophy in both of his previous lives.
Shinomiya Mikoto was quite surprised to hear this. She felt it was inappropriate to pursue the matter since the other party had done this. However, she still had to be tough in her attitude, so she said awkwardly: "Don't think that you will be fine if you admit your mistake. If it happens again, I will call the police."
"Okay, then we can eat now, Miss," Songgang Dong disagreed.
If it wasn't a coincidence, he wouldn't want to have any contact with this young lady. He would have wanted to stay away from her, but she insisted on getting close to him. If he hadn't taken into account that she was still a little girl and had her own difficulties, he would have complained about this a long time ago.
Also, in these two accidents I did take advantage of others passively, and I am a boy so I didn't take it too seriously, otherwise I would have to have a serious debate.
"I'm going to start," Shinomiya Mikoto answered with action.
Songgang Dong only has this habit when his parents are at home, and he is too lazy to do it when he is alone. This behavior makes Shigong frown, who attaches great importance to etiquette.
"That's very rude of you," Sigong reminded him with some reproach.
Song Gangdong raised his eyebrows and responded: "You are only my nominal fiancée, not my wife."
Upon hearing this, Sigong resisted the temptation of meat and politely put down his chopsticks first and said seriously: "There is one thing I need to tell you. Uncle Songgang entrusted me to teach you various etiquettes, so I am qualified to manage you."
"You also agreed on this? The old man is really looking for trouble for me. Listen, I don't care who entrusts you, I am the master of my own life." Song Gangdong was very annoyed and refuted firmly.
"Then I will tell Uncle Matsuoka, and you will be the one who gets embarrassed at the banquet." Shinomiya Mikoto did not continue to persuade but said sarcastically.
"Don't worry about it," Song Gangdong responded indifferently, and his good mood was gone this time.
"That's good," Shinomiya Mikoto said happily.
After the little episode, they continued to eat. The braised beef was very crystal clear after being cut into slices and looked very appetizing. The Sukiyaki pot was almost the same as usual, except that the ingredients were very good.
"Come to think of it, I've never eaten the braised beef in soy sauce made by A5," Shinomiya Mikoto picked up a piece with great anticipation.
I have eaten braised beef in soy sauce a few times when I had money before, but it was always made with better quality beef, because no one would be so extravagant as to use A5 for a serious Chinese meal, as it would be such a waste of ingredients and really unnecessary.
"Wow~ It's so delicious. The chewy texture and the completely permeated flavor of the sauce are so foul."
She was completely won over and threw away all her previous ideas, because it seemed like the a5 would be a great way to do this.
"You can eat Sukiyaki pot now," Songgang Dong reminded.
Shinomiya Mikoto then came to her senses and changed her target. This time, Matsuoka was making Kansai-style Sukiyaki, so the beef was first fried in the pan and then seasonings, water and other ingredients were added while cooking and eating.
In fact, he doesn't like Sukiyaki, but he did learn it when he worked part-time at a Japanese restaurant, so he is very familiar with it.
"It's not as good as hotpot." He dipped the beef slices in the egg liquid and ate it, then shook his head.
But since this time I was mainly taking care of the guy opposite, I still felt a little happy when I saw her eating with relish, but this is the feeling of being a chef.
His feelings towards Shinomiya Mikoto were actually quite complicated. He looked down on her at first, but later on he felt a little pity for her. However, her personality always annoyed him.
"What are you trying to do by spying on me?" Shinomiya said warily when he accidentally discovered it.
"Nothing, I'm just curious if all the young ladies have such a strong appetite like you?" Songgang Dong said seriously.
Shigong blushed slightly and then responded with a glare: "What's wrong with having a good appetite? It proves that I am very healthy, huh."
"Your fist looks very healthy." Song Gangdong touched his chin and could still feel a slight pain.
"It seems that I hit you too lightly. You can eat it yourself." After she said that, she stood up and left.
Songgang Dong looked at the few slices of braised beef with soy sauce left on the table and the Sukiyaki pot with only the bottom of the pot left and was silent for a while. It seemed that he would have to eat instant noodles again today.
"Damn it, I just ate a little too much, burp..." Shinomiya Mikoto complained after returning to her room.
Then I touched my stomach and felt a little bloated. But I couldn't do yoga now, so I looked at the street outside the window and decided to go out for a short walk.
Songgang didn't care when he saw her go out, after all, she was free. However, he felt disgusted when he saw the dishes in the sink.
"Damn it, I can't let that guy clean up. I guess I have to buy a dishwasher," he muttered.
Dishwashers were already very mature at this time. The first dishwasher dates back to 1850, and has a history of hundreds of years. Therefore, laziness is the driving force behind technological progress.
The streets were exceptionally quiet at night, the street lights were a little dim, and the night breeze felt very cool on the body. Shinomiya Mikoto strolled to a nearby park and planned to rest for a while, but she was scared away by the intimate scenes of couples in the park.
"How shameless! Even though it's night time, how can you do this in public? And you even put your hand inside. How shameless!" She walked back with a blushing face and criticized.
"Hey, little sister, you are so pretty. Come with uncle to see the goldfish, okay? I can give you a lot of pocket money."
Just as she was walking quickly, a drunk coming towards her blocked her way and stretched out his hand while talking.
"Get out of here or I'll call the police," Shinomiya Mikoto warned with a glare.
"Don't be so boring. Here, this money is enough, right?" He took out his wallet and took out tens of thousands of yen and wanted to stuff it into her chest.
"Get out!" She angrily kicked him in the face, killing his entire family.
But unfortunately, the opponent dodged it unintentionally, and because he kicked in the air and used too much force, he lost his balance.
Even more unfortunate was that the supporting foot made a cracking sound, which might have been due to the imbalance of the body and the lack of supporting force.
Chapter 15 A Critical Moment
Fortunately, after Shinomiya Mikoto fell, she used her hands to support herself in time so she didn't fall too hard. However, her buttocks still hurt because she hit the ground first. Fortunately, she had a lot of flesh so it was not a big deal.
"You little bitch, you still want to attack me? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you." The drunkard pounced on her angrily.
"Get out of the way! Help!" She knew what would happen if the other party succeeded, so she tried to get up and run away while shouting.
However, the severe pain in her feet made her break out in cold sweats as soon as she moved a little, and the strength she had to get up was instantly drained away, which made her panic.
Because this place is still a little remote, there is a parking lot nearby, and the residential areas are quite far away so it is impossible for people to come here at once, and she is probably in great danger during this period of time.
"Don't scream!" The drunk man was already on top of her, covering her mouth with his hands.
At this time, Shinomiya Mikoto's eyes were filled with tears. She never expected that she would lose the most important thing in this way.
boom!
Just as Shinomiya Mikoto was watching the other person's stinky mouth getting closer and closer to her face, she suddenly felt her body sink. The drunkard also rolled his eyes and lowered his head. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and was not hit in the face.
"Sigong, are you okay?" Songgang Dong's voice rang out.
Then she felt her body lighten and saw that concerned face. After seeing him, her fear burst out completely and she stood up and hugged him.
"Wuwuwu..." She was no longer able to speak.
Twenty minutes ago, Song Gangdong, who had already cleaned up the kitchen, was watching the evening news. It mentioned that there were often drunkards harassing students recently, so residents were advised to be vigilant and call the police if they encountered such people.
When he saw the address was nearby, he became a little worried when he found out that Shinomiya Mikoto had not returned yet, so he hesitated for a moment and went out, and also went to the convenience store to buy some milk and juice.
Because the convenience store was a must-pass route, he walked forward to greet Shinomiya before he saw him. After walking for a while, he vaguely heard a voice.
The things that hit the drunkard on the head were juice and milk bought from a convenience store. After being hit, the drunkard probably got a concussion and couldn't escape.
"It's okay, it's okay. I have knocked the bad guy out." Song Gangdong hesitated for a moment and patted her back to comfort her.
After a while she calmed down, but she still hugged him tightly, with such force that it was difficult for him to breathe.
"Let me go first and call the police," Song Gangdong reminded softly after waiting for a while.
"Yeah." Shinomiya Mikoto also calmed down at this time, and found that she was a little afraid to raise her head, but she still put her hands down.
Songgang Dong suddenly felt relieved and took out his phone to notify the police. He then went to check on the drunkard and left him alone after finding that his life was not in danger.
"Thank you..." Shinomiya Mikoto said in a very soft voice.
