"Would you like to go get something to eat?"
A clear and familiar female voice sounded in my ears.
Lu Ren raised his head and found Bei Dao Xiao standing in front of him.
Being touched by an ordinary person, he was still unconscious.
This is really...
You have to reflect on it.
"Why are you here and not accompanying them in the car?"
"It's stuffy in the car."
Bei Dao Xiao told a lie, she just didn't want to see those three people.
It's not that I don't see people crying, but I vaguely guessed the truth.
Kitajima Shino is a master of facial expression management, able to remain emotionless even if she is happy or angry.
So she felt that Lu Ren's expression and smile at that time were fake.
What else could it be that needs to be hidden with a smile.
After Lu Ren walked into the art museum, Kitajima Xiao immediately got out of the car and followed him in.
The fact was just as she expected, Lu Ren looked lonely in a deserted place.
The three Maori people wronged Lu Ren and determined that Lu Ren caused her to cry.
Seriously, it sucks.
Whether it’s their self-righteous good intentions or they blame others from the moral high ground.
Even Bei Dao Xiao didn't like it.
When he met the three of them, Kitajima Xiao's first impression of them was quite good, so he never expected that they would do such a thing.
If it were her, she would definitely be on Lu Ren's side. Even if he is really wrong.
Because when the world is on the opposite side of Lu Ren, his friends are still not on his side.
He was truly alone.
Kitajima Xiao understands Lu Ren's pain and can empathize with it.
She knew how much Lu Ren cared about this family, she knew how many resources Lu Ren secretly mobilized to support Maori, and she even knew what those resources meant.
She wanted to tell Lu Ren, you have done a good job, there is no need to be so harsh on yourself.
You can be a little more willful. Instead of continuing to wrong yourself like this.
She wanted to do her best to comfort Lu Ren and untie his knot.
She wanted to say a lot to Lu Ren.
But when the words came to his lips, they only became one sentence.
"So, do you want to go get something to eat?"
Kitajima Xiao repeated.
"Anything is fine."
"Let's go."
The two left the art museum and got into the car again.
Lu Ren didn't turn his head and leaned on the back of his chair and said, "How about we go have a meal together now?"
"We are all fine.", Mori replied immediately.
"Yeah." Lu Ren looked at Bei Dao Xiao. She immediately understood and said to the driver.
"Go to Hakata Tenryuya."
"Izakaya?"
How about a drink? That's fine.
"No, it's a ramen restaurant."
oh? This was not the place they went to last time.
Lu Ren thought about it and asked, "Then why don't you go to the Nishino Noodle House last time?"
"That one has a light taste, and this one has a strong taste."
Kitajima Shino thought for a while, flexed his fingers and added, "Heavy salt, heavy spicy. The portion is generous, and the barbecued pork is cut very thickly."
this......
Indeed he likes it.
But he never told Kitajima Xiao about this.
"That's really what I like. But how do you know that?"
"I observed it during the last meal. You put a lot of vinegar and chili pepper, and you finished the soup. And after finishing the meal, you glanced at my face for a while. So I think..."
"Stop it, that's enough."
Cover your face.
The community died in unexpected ways.
Lu Ren wasn't full at that moment and subconsciously glanced at Kitajima Xiao's bowl.
Just a moment, just a few seconds.
This was all discovered by Kitajima Xiao.
"You are truly a born reporter. This observation is amazing."
"Thanks for the compliment."
At ten o'clock in the morning, the car stopped in front of the alley.
"It's time for us to get off the bus. We have to walk the rest of the way. That store is quite remote."
"Um."
Kitajima Xiao leads the way.
The others followed her until they reached the end of the alley.
"This is it."
Lu Ren's professional habits were triggered and he began to look at the store.
The shop is a little dilapidated, and a yellow rain shield placed on the door frame has replaced the sign.
On the semicircular board, two Chinese characters are written in ink in the center.
Tianlong.
But as the rain and wind blew, these two Chinese characters became blurred.
There is also a yellow billboard on the left side of the store with the full name of the store written on it.
Hakata Tenryu.
The board also had some age and was very worn.
This kind of fly restaurant usually tastes good.
It's just that there may be a discount in terms of hygiene.
Lu Ren pushed the door open and walked in.
"welcome."
A middle-aged man stood up from his seat. He was wearing a turban, his skin was very white, his eyes were squinted, and his body was round, like a big white bun just taken out of the steamer.
"Is there food now?" Lu Ren asked.
"Yes. What do you guys eat?"
"I want a soy sauce ramen, lighter, with slightly harder noodles." Kitajima Shino made her request.
"Same as hers, with a stronger flavor and slightly softer noodles." Lu Ren thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Can the noodles be thicker?"
"Okay." The boss nodded, "But the thick noodles need to be made fresh. Are you in a hurry to eat them?"
"Forget it, just make it the same as Kaminari." Lu Ren thought for a while, but still felt that he shouldn't make more demands, otherwise it would be a bit torture to watch Kitajima Xiao eat from the side.
"Um."
"Master, put more green onions in his portion."
"no problem."
"I forgot about it." Lu Ren sat on the chair.
"It's okay, I remember. Master, two more bowls of hot water."
"No hot water, only noodle soup."
Bei Dao Xiao looked at Lu Ren tentatively.
Lu Ren understood instantly.
"Then two bowls of noodle soup." Then he explained to Kitajima Xiao in a low voice, "Noodle soup is also considered hot water."
"That's good."
Lu Ren hesitated for a moment, turned around and asked, "What are you eating?"
He didn't really want to pay attention to the Maori trio today.
"I'm actually not very hungry. Are you worried?" Mao Li looked at his daughter.
"I'm not hungry either."
Conan said nothing.
"What do you say?"
"Well, this is not far from my home. Let's go back first."
"It's okay. Don't walk back. I'll ask the driver to take you there."
"Well, please."
After seeing the three people off, Lu Ren suddenly felt relaxed.
While waiting for his face, he even took the time to observe the interior of the store.
The tables in this shop are long and square, forming a circle.
They are outside the circle and the chef is inside.
Just like a hotel bar.
This kind of thing is relatively rare in China.
Many in Japan are like this, and the utilization rate of space is relatively high.
Menus are posted on the wall.
This is also different from that in China, where a whole menu is posted on the wall.
The menu here is more like post-it notes.
Each one is like a charm, fixed on the wall with nails.
At first glance, it seems very strange.
The more you see, the better.
But as long as the noodles are delicious, these are just details.
Other Japanese food is cold and hard. The portion is not enough either.
Lu Ren is not used to eating much.
But ramen does.
The taste is definitely different from the ones at home, but it's better because it's hot and the portion is large.
Three to five minutes later, two bowls of noodles were served one after another.
The soup and side dishes are all ready-made, it just takes some effort to cook the noodles.
Lu Ren took a look and found that the barbecued pork was indeed as Kitajima Xiao said, the slices were large and thick.
Shining with an alluring and plump oily sheen.
Lu Ren was quite satisfied.
Suddenly, there were a few more pieces in his bowl. Kitajima Xiao picked them out of her bowl and put them into his bowl.
? ? ?
Very happy though.
"What are you doing?"
"I can't eat oily food." Kitajima Xiao's voice was very low, as if she was afraid that the boss would hear it. She pointed to the chopsticks in her hand, "These chopsticks are clean, I haven't started eating this bowl of noodles yet." .”
"Yeah. Thanks. You're welcome then."
"Um."
Five minutes later, Lu Ren ended the fight and drank all the soup and noodles.
Bei Dao Xiao on the side looked a little dazed.
She had only eaten half of her noodles.
"Did you eat a little too fast? Isn't it hot?"
"I don't feel it. I'm used to it. I really like the noodles here."
Lu Ren pushed the bowl aside, "Master, let's have another bowl. This time I want wide noodles."
"no problem."
