"Hmm? I heard that you are a teacher who came from far away to help them? You must have worked hard."
At this time, the general noticed Zhang Xinyuan at the back, and greeted him with a smile.
"No, no, I am just fulfilling my responsibilities. I can't compare to you, Master. Even if you don't leave in such an environment, you can still be expected and welcomed by everyone. I am also looking forward to your skills."
Of course, I didn't come here to eat ramen without any preparation. When everyone arrived, I learned a little about this noodle shop and I immediately had some respect for the manager.
After all, most people around him have left, and he is the only one who still insists here.
It is obvious that the area managed by other schools can be reached 30 kilometers away, but it was stayed here for the few remaining residents.
After hearing Zhang Xinyuan's words, the general was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly smiled brightly.
"Haha~ After all, my family's craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation. Since you are looking forward to it, I will use all my life's knowledge to meet your expectations."
After saying that, the chef general went to his own battle territory - the kitchen.
After chatting with the noodle shop owner here, they had already taken their seats and ordered their meals without us noticing.
"Hey~ Teacher, we have all ordered our meals~ There is a seat right here!"
Nomiya made the invitation.
"Yes, teacher, I have a seat here."
Xiao Cang...ahem, Bai Zi made an invitation.
Looking at the noisy Xingye, Zhang Xinyuan chose...
"Hey~"
"Wow! The teacher is so bold! He actually sat between Hoshino-senpai and Shirako."
Seeing Baizi grabbing the teacher's hand with one hand and Hoshino showing a slightly surprised look on the other side, Ayane and Nomiya on the opposite side felt it was very interesting.
"Really? Teacher, there are so many seats here! Why are you trying to squeeze in?"
"Of course it's to communicate with students. When you're done with your work, Qinxiang, the teacher doesn't mind sitting with you."
"But I mind!"
Looking at Qinxiang's shy and shocked expression, Zhang Xinyuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he talked to the shy Qinxiang in a joking tone.
Chapter 4: Fighting in the noodle shop and Hoshino's solitude (k)
"Hehe, teacher, the Chai Guan ramen here is the most famous in Abydos!"
Looking at the special miso Dongpo pork ramen that Qinxiang had just served, Zhang Xinyuan picked up the chopsticks and gently picked up the Dongpo pork on it. Looking at the very delicate appearance, Zhang Xinyuan slowly put it into his mouth.
"Mmm! It's really delicious!"
As soon as it is put into the mouth, the slightly sweet taste spreads in the mouth. Chewing it carefully, it is obviously full of fat, but it makes people never get tired of eating it. It melts in the mouth and is fat but not greasy.
"Hehe, the teacher is enjoying the meal, but would you like to try the flavor of mine?"
At this moment, Nomiya's slender little hands used chopsticks to pick up the barbecued pork and placed it in front of the teacher. Looking at Nomiya's innocent smile, Zhang Xinyuan was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth and tasted Nomiya's food with peace of mind.
Shirako/Ayane/Serika passing by: “!”
"Um, um, Nomiya-senpai, chopsticks..."
"Hmm? Ayane-chan, what's wrong with the chopsticks?"
Nomiya looked at Ayane with a puzzled expression with his cute eyes, but the chopsticks in his hand were still in the teacher's mouth.
"Hmm~ Nothing..."
"What is nothing!"
After serving the bowl of noodles to the customer, Qinxiang, who was originally full of smiles, came to the teacher and suddenly turned into a furry kitten. She said to the teacher who was holding the chopsticks in her mouth: "Even if you want to eat something given by others, how can you keep holding it in your mouth like this! Really..."
"Serika-chan! Please deliver the ramen for guest number 15."
"Ugh! Here I come!"
After hearing the words of the general master, Qinxiang puffed up her face and left here unconvinced.
"Well~ Teacher, I just felt that since Nomiya wanted to share her food with you, in order not to disappoint Nomiya, you tasted it carefully!"
After sucking his chopsticks, Zhang Xinyuan pretended to be innocent and puzzled and said.
"Well, teacher, the ramen ordered by Shirako is delicious. Teacher, try it too."
But before Zhang Xinyuan could finish, Bai Zi beside him quickly scooped a spoonful of hot soup and handed it to the teacher's lips.
"Hmm~ Shiroko-san's salt ramen is also quite good. It's perfect for a meal after a workout."
Faced with the spoon that Bai Zi had eaten from, Zhang Xinyuan of course accepted it and ate Bai Zi's spoon in big mouthfuls. Zhang Xinyuan also had an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Hmm~"
Looking at the spoon that the teacher had just licked, Bai Zi's cute wolf ears fluttered. Then he put the spoon in the bowl and stirred it, as if wondering if it would taste better if the teacher's flavor was added to it.
"Hehehe~ The little girl's mind is really dazzling~ How can she be like me, an uncle, who can finish it in one go."
Hoshino, who was standing by, had been concentrating on eating his miso chashu ramen. After a cute burp, he leaned back with a smiling face.
"Really, Hoshino, even if you want to enjoy the food, you should pay attention to your table manners."
Looking at the remaining ramen in Hoshino's mouth, Zhang Xinyuan took it from him without thinking, then put it in his mouth while instructing Hoshino.
"Hmm... Really hehe~ I really lost to the teacher. After all, as an uncle~ it's normal for me to live a messy life."
After being stunned for a moment, Xingye smiled nonchalantly, leaned on the teacher's shoulder, and continued in an uncle's tone: "Teacher, as long as you reach my age, you will find that the youth you had before has become a thing of the past. Only by making yourself comfortable can you live your life."
"..."
Not to mention that you are a student who is about to become an adult, is it possible that as a teacher, my age can go backwards?
"Ahaha~ It seems that everyone wants to share their food with the teacher... Um, teacher, do you want to try my ramen? It's just ordinary miso ramen..."
Hmm~ Now that it has come to this, if I don’t share with the teacher, will I seem a bit out of place? Woohoo~ Why is the atmosphere a bit strange now?
Ayane was feeling very embarrassed at this moment. After all, it was Senior Nomiya who started this strange competition first, and she...well~ although she didn't hate the teacher's mouth and saliva, she was still very shy!
"Yeah, Ayane's miso ramen is also great~ As the saying goes, the most classic food can often reflect a person's skills. It seems that the most ordinary miso ramen is the best. Ayane's taste is also very good."
"Thank you, teacher, but..."
Seeing the teacher actually using the unused soup spoon next to him to scoop his own ramen, although I avoided the embarrassment and shyness, why did I feel a little disappointed?
...
"Huh~ I can finally take a break."
At this time, the flow of people in the store was gradually decreasing. Serika, who was taking a short break on the side, looked at Hoshino and the others and couldn't help but become lost in thought.
"Hey, Celery-chan, thank you for your hard work."
"Ah, Manager, which is yours?"
Looking at a bowl of steaming ramen, Serika had a puzzled expression.
"Yeah, after all, Qinxiang has worked hard this week. You know, by then... never mind, your friends are waiting for you to come over, right? Go quickly."
"Eh?"
"Hey, Serika-chan, come and eat ramen~"
Looking back, I heard the smiling voice of Nomiya-senpai, and everyone had an expectant expression. Serika felt everyone's enthusiastic gazes and a helpless smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Oh~ Really, I told you not to disturb me while I'm working...Oh~ Thank you, manager. I'll work after I finish eating."
"Well, let's go."
Serika sat next to Ayane with a bowl of hot ramen. Although she told them not to disturb her next time, the blush on her face could not hide her inner joy.
"Hehe~ Xiao Qinxiang's work clothes are really pretty."
"Hehehe~ In my opinion, Serika-chan is still cute even when she changes from a school uniform to a waitress. Serika-chan, do you want to take some photos to make some money? As for the first place... well! It's decided that you will be the one! Teacher!"
"Yes! Please let me buy it!"
"Oh~ Really, Nomiya-senpai, please don't let me develop a weird side job... And teacher, don't be so serious! I won't really take it for you!"
"Hey hehe~"
Seeing that the teacher and Hoshino-senpai surprisingly had the same expression, Serika also showed a helpless expression and continued: "Speaking of which, today I asked the teacher to treat you to breakfast. Um~ Teacher, you are such a leisurely person... do you have so much money to eat? Although this is a small ramen restaurant, the prices inside are relatively high."
"Well~ Who said that I don't work hard, teacher! My job in Xialai pays very well! Rin-chan... Nanami Rin gave me the highest job in the teacher industry!"
He proudly took out his bank card and looked at the bank card that looked like a trace of blood, with Nomiya looking curious.
"That's amazing! Teacher, which bank issues your bank card? How come I've never seen this before?"
"Which bank... ahem, this question needs to be kept confidential."
Well, after all, it appeared out of nowhere, and Zhang Xinyuan didn’t know where it came from, but there was still money to pay the students for breakfast.
Zhang Xinyuan stood up and went to the counter to swipe his card, but when he saw the amount on it, he couldn't help but gasp.
I wasn’t surprised by the breakfast money, but the balance in my account. Was it tampered with? Where is the money I received this month?
"Teacher, I've kept and sorted the money you received this month! Only the balance is left for daily expenses. If you need any, remember to call me - Yuuka."
Wow! My housekeeper, you came at the right time!
Recalling the sticky note left by Yuxiang last night, after all, he already regarded Yuxiang as his own, so Zhang Xinyuan just laughed it off for these things, but encountered this situation today...
"Hey~ This is an adult's credit card. It's really powerful. It's similar to Nomiya-chan's bank card."
At this time, Nomiya followed Hoshino and walked over. Hoshino yawned and looked lazily at the bank card in his hand that was stiff in the air.
"Hey hey hey ~ Teacher, please use this card secretly."
Nomiya quietly approached the teacher, then took out a shiny card from his pocket and spoke to Zhang Xinyuan in a gentle voice.
Ah~ Turns out... Nomiya is a rich woman!
Zhang Xinyuan recognized it at a glance. This is a limited edition bank card that only a few of them exist in the entire Kivotos. It is said that the wealth contained in it is unimaginable!
"It's okay, Nomiya. The teacher promised to treat you to breakfast, so you can take this back."
"Eh? It's really okay? But..."
"Yeah, that's okay."
