Chapter 42: Chapter 38：Maki Morita（2）
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Maki Morita.
Xia Yu was a little embarrassed and did not know how to deal with her.
The girl in front of her was Uncle Morita's daughter. Uncle Morita, who owned a pastry house in the old shopping street. This pastry house existed before old man Xia Qing came to Japan, which was considerably old.
Maki Morita's dream was to inherit the pastry house one day. For this reason, she practiced cooking and specialized in snacks. When she graduated from primary school and was about to go to middle school, she participated in the entrance selection of Togetsu Middle School. But it was a pity that Maki lost the election, she had no choice to go to White Gull Junior High School.
When school started in April, she and Xia Yu would go to White Gull High School.
Therefore, from the primary school to the future university, Maki's student era may have to live in a relatively strict Tokyo metropolitan school.
Xia Yu scratched his face; the restaurant was quiet.
What to say?
His relationship with Maki Morita was simply described as childhood sweethearts.
This was more reliable than the relationship between An Yilun and Ying Lili.
The old restaurant street was full of the memories of two people.
Once, two people played together, went to school together, and went home together. Even in the same class, they laughed together noisily.
In grade one of the junior high school, failing to be selected by Togetsu, Maki was accompanied by former Xia Yu, and came out of the low point of her life. She invited Xia Yu to the roof of the teaching building after school in the afternoon. Under the brilliant sunset, she expressed her love.
What a classic scene it was.
That year, they were so close that they almost wiped their guns and almost fired several times.
Then, after a car accident, the real Xia Yu came. The soul of the unlucky ghost waved goodbye.
So, in grade two, this love ended.
The reason was very simple. Xia Yu came here for the first time. He was careful to restrain himself, and the lovers could only say goodbye. Although Maki Morita was pretty and well-developed, she was not his type. Xia Yu's adult aesthetic was impeccable, and he did not feel for her at all!
Therefore, under his intentional estrangement, his former lover also gradually drifted away. Two years had passed since he graduated from grade two. He and Maki Morita had not sat down to have a serious chat.
"Morita..."
Xia Yu calmly stared at the girl in front of the counter.
"Please call me by first name, not by last name."
The girl with long straight black hair smiled and her face was delicate and white. Although she did not have the appearance of an angel like Rina, this beauty made people feel like she was more real.
She had the girl-next-door type of charm.
From the experience that Maki Morita once took the initiative to express her love, he knew that the girl who seemed to be weak outside but had a lot of ideas inside.
And the predecessor, in that brief love, always belonged to the passive side. He was cowardly in character.
Xia Yu was silent and pretended not to understand.
"I heard that Grandpa Xia Qing has returned home..."
Maki Morita did not care, and said, "I thought you would choose to close the restaurant temporarily. I'm glad you can run this restaurant. You've really grown a lot. "
"Remember that year when your family moved to the store street? I remember that very well."
"We met on the first day. I took you to Ueno Park for a whole day. It was the last ten days of March. It was also the spring holiday. The cherry blossom season. There were more than a thousand cherry trees blooming in Ueno Park. We played in Saiji Temple, Tosho Miyano, Shimizudo, Ueno Zoo and Aquarium..."
Her voice was calm.
Where the wind passed, the sakura rain fell.
With a little memory of his predecessor, Xia Yu saw the beautiful cherry trees blooming in Ueno Park.
In other words, this time, spring break was the cherry blossom season, right?
This was a subtle coincidence.
Some waves in his heart were covered up by Xia Yu.
As Maki Morita spoke the narration, her eyes became brighter and brighter. She stared firmly at Xia Yu's face, trying to get some information from the changes in his facial expressions.
But she failed.
Xia Yu did not interrupt her. He was a good listener.
As it turned out, the only hope in Morita's heart showed faint signs of complete destruction.
"It's late. I'll see you off." When she finished, Xia Yu asked An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue to help him look after the restaurant. He sent Maki Morita out, put his hands in his pockets and walked with her.
Morita Pastry House and Xia's restaurant were only a few minutes away from each other. Xia Yu stood under the streetlamp and watched Maki Morita go home.
"By the way!"
All of a sudden, he made a noise. Morita turned his back to him, raising her shoulders.
"You didn't give up your cooking, did you?"
"Of course not!" Morita replied without hesitation.
"Want to specialize in pastry?"
"This is a Morita's insistence!"
"I think I can help you. If you want to go to Togetsu. "
After Xia Yu finished, he turned and left.
Maki Morita turned back in amazement and woke up inexplicably.
"Why?" Maki Morita whispered, "My specialty is pastry, and he is the descendant of Xia's Chinese Cuisine. The assessment in the higher department of Togetsu is stricter!"
"How can you help me?" she shouted to Xia Yu.
"Come to my restaurant tomorrow..."
She could not think of the reason.
But Morita soon raised her mouth and smiled happily.
At least, she was sure that his heart still moved towards her. Morita was not greedy. She knew that to fix the broken mirror, she needed to stick the pieces back together.
An unsettled night.
Late at night.
Taki, a well-known popular blogger in ACG circle, suddenly released an article in the middle of the night that had nothing to do with ACG.
With the click of a mouse, An Yilun also opened his Weibo homepage and looked at the article that had just been sent out. The screen light reflected his face with a sense of achievement.
The article was as follows:
"First of all, I'm very sorry for poisoning late at night."
"Secondly, thanks for the Mizutani at NicoNico station. If he did not find that Chinese restaurant, I might have missed a delicious trip today that I would regret for a long time."
At the beginning of the article, there was a beautiful food picture full of bright colors, which was even more coveted than a picture after post-processing.
"First dish. The Chinese name of this dish is 'sweet and sour pork'. The main ingredients are pork, starch and flour. I came back to search the information of this Chinese cuisine. It is said that Zhe cuisine, Lu cuisine, Chuan cuisine and Yue cuisine all have this cuisine, and the practice is similar."
The text was followed by a detailed recipe.
"Do you think it's easy? I think it's easy!" An Yilun also wrote here, "However, it is suggested that otakus with practical ability should go to this restaurant to try this 'sweet and sour pork' before trying to cook it themselves. I think you will immediately put out your own cooking out of your mind. Because simple recipes, in the hands of professional chefs, can also be made into that of a delicacy. Ordinary people cannot make that incredible taste!"
"The second dish is 'braised chicken with chestnuts'..."
"The third course is 'red snapper with black ben sauce'..."
"The fourth one, which I strongly recommend is 'three shredded shark's fin'. It's vegetarian, but it's very, very delicious!"
An Yilun used many adjectives here.
He was really out of words.
