Chikuzenni - a special local dish of Japan, a stew made of chicken, shiitake mushrooms, lotus root, konjac, snow peas and carrots.
The big rooster was very energetic. It was originally sleeping, but when it heard the noise of someone coming in, it stood up alertly, clucking to avoid the three people who were staring at it.
For some unknown reason, the rope tied to the rooster's feet broke free.
As soon as you get a little closer, the rooster will run very fast, flapping its wings, making chaos in the kitchen.
"Ahem. These are all chicken feathers. How can this chicken run so fast?"
Akai Muzi chased it for a long time but failed to catch it. She didn't expect that the first difficult thing she couldn't accomplish after returning from studying abroad was to catch a chicken.
Jiu Huayue didn't dare to touch it at all, "What should I do?"
"I come."
Yang Kui Chitose was very experienced. She drove the rooster into the corner with just a few moves.
She stretched out her hand, clamped the rooster's neck tightly, and lifted it into the air. She then grabbed the rooster's wings with her left hand and completely subdued it.
“Ka-ka-ka!”
The rooster could only crow twice in her hands and had no hope of breaking free.
"Sister Chitose, you are amazing."
"Hehe~ I'm used to it!"
Jiuhuayue also felt that Yangkui Qiansui was amazing. He caught the chicken cleanly and neatly without any unnecessary movements.
But she had never seen a chicken being killed and didn't know how to deal with it.
Ever since she was born, the only chickens she had seen were pre-processed ingredients sold in supermarkets, and she had rarely seen a live one.
“Will it be troublesome to handle?”
"It's indeed a bit troublesome to pluck the hair," said Akai.
"It's okay, just leave the chicken to me, I can do it."
Yang Kui Chitose used the rope on the ground to tie the rooster's legs and wings again.
Seeing Chitose's whole process of cleaning the rooster, Akai couldn't help but sigh again, "Chitose is really capable."
"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Muzi."
Yang Kui Chitose responded with a sunny smile, but the crowing of the rooster in her hand suddenly sounded like it was stuck with phlegm.
The preparation of the rooster was left to Chitose, while Akai and Jiuhuayue started preparing the ingredients for the other two dishes at the other end.
Compared to handling live chickens, doing these things is much easier.
"Does Jiuhua know how to handle snow peas?"
"Less likely."
"Look, grab this sharp corner and pull it out."
"understood."
"Then I'll leave the snow peas to you. I'll peel the potatoes."
"it is good."
Jiuhuayue finally had time to talk to Akai Muzi alone.
She was silent for two seconds, then took the initiative to start a conversation:
"Akai-sister and Fujii were classmates in the past, right?"
"Yeah." Akai nodded in response, "What did Jiuhua want to ask?"
"I'm a little curious, what kind of person was Fujii in the past?"
At this time, Yang Kui Chitose, who was boiling water on the other side, heard the conversation between the two people behind her and pricked up her ears.
"what kind of person"
Akai Muzi said directly, "You idiot."
“.?” Jiuhuayue tilted her head slightly, puzzled.
Akai Muzi was very emotional, "Because apart from him, which first-year student would dare to take the initiative to ask the third-year seniors in the club to quit the club? Of course, it's not that it's his fault, on the contrary, he is right, because those seniors who continue to stay in the club will only hinder the development of the club."
Jiu Huayue thought of the big cart of New Year gifts he bought for more than 30 orphans, "Does that mean you have a strong sense of justice?"
"Yes. But when I say he looks like an idiot, I just mean that the way he acts is very different from other high school students. It doesn't mean he is really stupid."
Akai Muzi was peeling potatoes and speaking calmly.
"On the contrary, he has a certain plan for everything he does, and he knows what he is doing. This is why he can really drive those seniors out of the club. In my eyes, he has always been the guy who is so outstanding and hardworking that I can't catch up with him. He always stands in front of me, and I am behind him, looking at his shoulders and back, always feeling that he is glowing, attracting me."
Everything was fine at the beginning. Jiuhuayue heard some interesting clues from Akai's last words.
"Sister Akai, did you like Fujii at the beginning?"
"Yeah, that's why I confessed to him."
Jiuhuayue was very surprised.
She originally thought that the uncle would never be able to find a girlfriend because of his messy private life.
I didn't expect that there were girls willing to confess to him.
"."
Chitose Yang Kui was behind the two of them, half of her face was gloomy. The girl placed her hand on the rooster's head, motionless.
And the big rooster was crowing in her hands.
"Are you still dating now?"
"No, he and I only dated during our senior year of high school, and we broke up after graduation."
The rooster's voice suddenly sounded like wailing.
Jiuhuayue hesitated for a second, but couldn't help but be curious, "Is it convenient for Sister Akai?"
Akai Muko smiled at her, "Kuka is interested in that guy?"
"Well," Jiu Huayue admitted generously, "He is my good friend, and I want to know more about him."
"Okay, tell me more details. Good friend, he also told me this about you. At the beginning, he and I were considered good friends. We were in the same class and club. It was probably because of this reason that I confessed to him."
"Then did he agree?"
"I agreed. I agreed right away."

Click click click.
The rooster's howling suddenly stopped, as if it was dragged into the abyss by chains, and suddenly there was silence.
Akai Muzi continued with a smile, "Dating that guy was surprisingly good. On the afternoon when I confessed my love to him, he bought me a cup of milk tea, and then pretended to be normal, speaking in a normal tone, and handed it to me, saying 'Here, it's for you'."
Yang Kui Chitose lowered her head, opened her left hand, and looked at her bloody palm.
“Unexpectedly cute.”
"Yeah! I felt the same way at the time. This guy is not very good at expressing his love. But sometimes he makes you feel that he is quite attentive and considerate. You can sense that he has noticed your thoughts."
Akai Muzi said she was overwhelmed and recalled their initial relationship.
"When I think about our first kiss, it was almost half a year after we confessed our love, and I was still the one who took the initiative."
"."
Yang Kui Chitose washed her hands, picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and walked towards the two people who were chatting.
"I was really anxious at the time, because even though this guy and I were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, there was almost no progress between us in the past six months. The reason was that he didn't care. Haha, isn't it funny?"
"There must be a reason for this."
"Yes, he thinks that we have a good relationship and are friends. We do. We eat together and study together every day. We practice saxophone and clarinet together by the Otaru Canal to participate in the wind instrument competition."
Jiuhuayue felt a little envious after hearing this.
She also wants a friend like this.
"Sorry!" Akai reacted, "You suddenly mentioned this kind of thing. You were obviously asking what kind of person he is."
Jiuhuayue was afraid that she would not continue, so she quickly said, "It's okay! Please continue, Sister Akai, I really want to listen."
"About the kiss? Do you want to hear about that, too?"
"Yeah, I want to hear it."
Akai smiled and thought, no matter whether Jiuhua is beautiful or not, she is still a girl in adolescence.
Everyone is very curious about this kind of thing.
"I understand his thoughts. In fact, I was also a little afraid of breaking the relationship between us, so I was very cautious when we kissed for the first time. To be honest, I didn't feel anything. What's more important is that I was grateful for his existence because he encouraged me so much and accompanied me so much. I always wanted to keep this beauty going, so I was very proactive when I kissed him."
Jiuhuayue blushed when she heard this.
When Akai Muzi saw her blushing, she quickly calmed down.
"Let's stop here for now."
"So Akai-nee-san really liked this relationship at first, right?"
"of course."
"Then why didn't Akai-sama choose to continue this relationship when she graduated? I feel -"
Chitose Yangkui raised a kitchen knife behind the two of them.
At the same time, the hot water in the pot was boiled and bubbling.
Jiuhuayue seemed to be dazzled by some reflective object, and she subconsciously turned her head and turned around.
"Hinako-san.?!"
"Sorry! I scared you, Kuka-san!"
Yang Kui Chitose apologized, her hands behind her back, her smile bright and flawless, "Um. I just heard you and Sister Muzi talking about Brother Shu, so I came over to listen while the water was boiling."
"So that's it."
