"I, Iori..."

Shiina Iori was walking forward with a cloth bag when she heard a panting cry coming from behind.

Turning around, Yui followed behind his butt with a small cloth bag in his hand, adorning with a soft-legged look.

Originally Shiina was planning to make some beef bone soup and braised pork at night, but when the soup was halfway through, she found that the pork was not enough and there were fewer other side dishes.

Since the soup had to be cooked for a long time, Shiina kept Nagisa at home to watch the pot and took Igarashi out to buy some vegetables.

It's also considered to be a training for her.

But now it seems,

A mistaken plan.

Seeing Shiina stop, Yui immediately held her knees as if she was paralyzed, unable to stop her panting.

“Huh~ha~huh~”

"No, don't run so fast!"

"I, I'm not good at sports..."

Shiina Iori looked at his feet, then looked at Igarashi who seemed to be that way.

"You are in poor health, Igarashi San."

"We were clearly moving at normal walking pace just now, right?"

"But, but! We've all gone so far... Where is that shopping street?"

"We, can't we take a taxi?"

Igarashi gasped.

The big seal swayed, and his little face was so tired that it was sweating.

Shiina Iori raised her head and looked at the apartment building that was clearly visible not far away.

Somewhat speechless: "It's less than a kilometer?"

"Nani?!"

Yui Igarashi eats a whale: "Have I walked a kilometer today?"

"If that's so far, why don't we drive over?"

“Because there is no place to stop in the shopping street.”

"Then go to the supermarket!"

“It’s too expensive and the ingredients are not fresh.”

"oh......"

Igarashi nodded in a vague way.

Shiina felt that she probably wanted something new.

When he thought of this, he kept sighing.

Do you want to start teaching from here?

"Igarashi San, fresh means just collected and shipped."

"I still know that kind of thing!"

When Igarashi heard this, her little face turned a little red. I don’t know if it was because of gasping or feeling that she was underestimated.

“But, fresh things are not necessarily the best.”

“Eh?”

Igarashi was a little incredible: "Don't we say that fresh vegetables and fruits are the best?"

Seeing that she had almost finished resting, Shiina Iori continued to walk forward and explained: "If it is meat, of course it is more active if it is slaughtering now."

"But if it's vegetables and fruits, the difference between a few days of the day and just delivered is not particularly big - some are not even ripe yet."

"Then why do many people want new ones?"

Yui Igarashi was puzzled, and followed up happily, tilting her head and asking curiously.

“Because of the appearance.”

"Class?"

"right."

Shiina Iori took a walk around a small town road between Shiina and Igarashi and took a short track and went straight into a long shopping street.

At the intersection is the large sign of "Zejian Sun Road Shopping Street".

It's a bit rustic.

There are various stores of all sizes on both sides of the street.

Most of the brands of these small shops are not as exquisite as those in the outside trade circles, but everything is available from bakeries, vegetable shops, seasoning shops, and butchers.

Some of these shops have discount signs hanging at the doors, some have made a try-in table, some simply pile up fruits and vegetables outside, and some have a water tank and net at the doors of some fish shops.

It was obviously not even evening on the street, but it seemed unexpectedly lively, and the women were much more unexpected.

They all have ages from their teenage years to their seventies or eighties. Everyone brings a bamboo bag or cloth bag, which contains three or two items to choose from.

Yui Igarashi followed Shiina and looked at her eyes intently.

But they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the shopping street, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Shina-kun is here to buy vegetables today?"

"Shina-kun, today's beef tenderloin is very fresh! Do you want to have a little?"

"Do you want to see strawberries? It's the peak fruit season now! It's very cheap... Why do you put plaster on your neck?"

"Hey! Shiina Jun actually came with a girl today! Is he a girlfriend? Is he a girlfriend?"

"What do you call this girlfriend lady?"

"Shima's girlfriend, San, come and have an apple?"

The shop owners and the wives who passed by from time to time came to talk. The atmosphere was too warm, which really made Igarashi, who was not good at communicating, unable to bear it, and pushed the fruits stuffed by others with both hands.

A little further away, many young women who were walking around in empty knives were staring at Igarashi with resentment.

At this time, Yui usually looked quite capable and couldn't hold up a word, but just nodded and agreed to thank him.

She doesn't seem to be very good at accepting kindness from strangers.

Instead, I am extremely skilled in dealing with troubles.

Shiina Iori handled it with ease: "Does the big ingredients and pepper still have them? Also want some mustard greens or spinach... Are there any pigs left?"

"It's just shipped here at noon! Take a look at it with Brother Shiina!"

Shiina Iori led Igarashi, who was surrounded by the crowd, to the butcher shop, and while watching, he taught: "Look, this kind of fat and thin person is pork belly."

"This meat mainly comes from the belly of a pig and has a good taste, but the fat content is slightly higher and can be made into many dishes."

Shiina Iori said while picking out a slightly smaller piece: "This kind of flesh is bright in color, the ratio of red and white is very uniform, and the oil distribution is appropriate, so it is called good quality."

"For example, this piece has a thin skin and a just the thickness. It is obviously a piece of meat close to the back buttocks. The oil distribution is beautiful, and it will be very fragrant when made."

"When eating, there will be no such thing as having only lean or fat parts left."

"The reason why we want to grab fresh is not fresh meat or vegetables, but to get a chance to pick good meat and good dishes like this at an earlier time."

"If it were a little later, this kind of meat would have been picked up by someone else."

"And Uncle Lihua's family has a factory, the meat quality is very good and the price is appropriate. I have never seen water-filled meat or old meat for now. When you ask you to buy it in the future, remember to come here to pick it."

Shiina Iori praised me seriously, and Yui Igarashi subconsciously glanced at the store brand.

"Hahaha, Shiina Jun understands it very much!"

The butcher shop uncle smiled and helped him chop off the piece of meat:

“How much do you want today?”

"Uncle Lihua gives you a 20% discount!"

"oh!!!"

Yui Igarashi's eyes were shining, as if they had taken advantage of it.

Shiina Iori smiled: "Let's come here and this one today, let's come after we finish eating."

"Okay!"

When the two left, many younger girls who had just stood beside each other began to come forward to ask for the price.

Igarashi followed and exclaimed: "Shina-kun knows a lot! And that uncle is so nice! 20% off!"

"It's like this when you're familiar with it. Stable old customers are much more valuable than those new customers who are on the whim. It's just that you make more money."
