Chapter 88 [088] Shopping Street
"I, Iori."

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

Turning around, Yui staggered behind his buttocks, carrying a small cloth bag in her hands, embellished with a soft-legged look.

Originally, Shiina was going to make some beef bone soup and braised pork in the evening. As a result, halfway through the preparation of the soup ingredients, he found that the pork was not enough and other side dishes were also less.

Since the soup took a long time to boil, Shiina left Nagisa-chan at home to watch the pot, and led Igarashi out to buy some dishes.

Give her some exercise.

It's just now that

Failed.

Seeing Shiina stop, Yui immediately held onto her knees as if paralyzed, panting uncontrollably.

"Hu~ha~hu~"

"Don't, don't run so fast!"

"I-I'm not good at sports"

Shiina Iori looked at her feet, and then at Igarashi, who really looked like that.

"It's your health that's too bad, Igarashi-san."

"We were obviously walking at a normal walking pace just now, right?"

"But, but! We've come this far. Where is that shopping street?"

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

Igarashi gasped for breath.

The sea leopard swayed, and his face was sweaty from exhaustion.

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

Some were speechless: "This is less than one kilometer, right?"

"Nani?!"

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

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

"Because there is nowhere to park in the shopping street."

"Then go to the supermarket!"

"It's too expensive and the ingredients are not fresh."

"Oh"

Igarashi nodded knowingly.

Shiina thought that she was probably thinking of something fresh.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing.

Want to start teaching here?
"Igarashi-san, fresh means freshly collected and delivered."

"I still know that kind of thing!"

Hearing this, Igarashi's face turned a little red. I don't know if it was because of panting or because I felt that I was being looked down upon.

"However, something fresh isn't necessarily the best."

"Eh?"

Igarashi was a little unbelievable: "Don't you all say that fresh vegetables and fruits are the best?"

Seeing that she was almost resting, Shiina Iori continued to walk forward, explaining: "If it is meat, of course it is more active to kill it now."

"But if it's vegetables and fruits, there's not a big difference between a few days and fresh delivery - some are not even ripe."

"Then why do so many people want new ones?"

Yui Igarashi was puzzled and followed up, tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Because of the quality."

"Quality?"

"Correct."

Shiina Iori took Igarashi around a small street between towns and took a short path directly into a long shopping street.

At the corner of the street is a large sign of 'Sawami Sun Road Shopping Street'.

It's a bit rustic.

On both sides of the street, there are various storefronts, large and small.

Most of these small shops are not as sophisticated as those in the business circles outside, but they have everything from bakeries, vegetable shops, seasoning shops, to butcher shops.

Some of these stores have discount signs hanging in front of them, some have made a tasting table, and some simply piled fruits and vegetables outside. Some fish stores also have a drainage tank and a net in front of them.

It was not even evening yet on the street, but it was unexpectedly lively, and there were unexpectedly many women.

The ages ranged from teens to seventies and eighties, and everyone carried a bamboo pocket or cloth bag, which contained three or two things and even went back and forth.

Yui Igarashi followed Shiina, watching intently.

But they didn't want to, as soon as the two entered the shopping street, they became the object of everyone's attention.

"Shina-kun is also here to buy groceries today?"

"Shina-kun, today's beef tenderloin is very fresh! Would you like some."

"Shina-kun, do you want to take a look at the strawberries? It's the full fruit season! It's cheap. Why do you have plaster on your neck?"

"Hey! Shiina-kun came with a girl today! Is it a girlfriend? Is it a girlfriend?"

"What's the name of this lady girlfriend?"

"Shiina's girlfriend, San, come eat an apple?"

Shops from all walks of life and the wives who passed by from time to time came together to chat. The atmosphere was too warm, and Igarashi, who was not good at communicating, was a little overwhelmed, and he pushed the fruit that others put in with both hands.

A little further away, many young women wandering back and forth with empty pockets stared at Igarashi with resentment in their eyes.

At this time, Yui's small mouth, which usually seems to be able to say, couldn't hold back a word, but just nodded her head and agreed to thank him.

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

On the contrary, he is very skilled in dealing with troubles.

Shiina Iori handled it with ease: "Do you still have aniseed and pepper? Also, do you want some mustard or spinach. Do you have pork belly?"

"It just arrived at noon! Brother Shiina, take a look!"

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

"This meat is mainly from the belly of the pork, it tastes good, but it's a little bit higher in fat, so it can be made into a lot of dishes."

Shiina Iori said, picking out a slightly smaller piece: "This kind of flesh has a bright color, a very uniform ratio of red and white, and a proper distribution of oil, which is called a good appearance."

"Like this one, the skin is thin and the thickness is just right. It is obviously the meat near the rear buttocks. The oil distribution is good, and it will be very fragrant when it is made."

"There's no such thing as lean or fat when you eat it."

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

"If it's later, this kind of meat should be picked up by others."

"And Uncle Tachibana has a factory in their house, the meat quality is very good, and the price is right. I haven't seen water-infused meat or old meat yet. When you want to buy it in the future, remember to come here and pick it up."

Shiina Iori boasted solemnly, and Yui Igarashi glanced at the store sign subconsciously.

"Hahaha, Shiina-kun really understands!"

The uncle of the butcher shop smiled and helped him chop this piece of meat down:
"How much do you want today?"

"Uncle Tachibana gives you a [-]% discount!"

"Oh!!!"

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

Shiina Iori smiled: "Let's have this and this today, we'll come back after we finish eating."

"okay!"

When the two left, many of the younger girls who had just stood on the side began to ask for the price.

Igarashi followed and exclaimed, "Shina-kun knows a lot! And that uncle is really nice! [-]% off!"

"It's like this when you're familiar with it. Stable old customers are worth much more than those new customers on a whim. It's nothing more than making more money and making less."

Shiina Iori explained to the indifferent girl, led her to go shopping, and bought all the materials she needed.

When he left the shopping street, he turned to look at Yui: "Have you learned the tricks of grocery shopping today?"

"School is useless!"

Yui Igarashi nodded vigorously, as if he had learned a new little magic in life.

"Hopefully."

Shiina Iori didn't really hold out hope.

"That's right." He thought, and suddenly stopped, "Igarashi-san, smile."

"Eh?"

Yui was a little dazed.

"Smile."

"whee?"

At Shiina's request, Igarashi curled the corners of his mouth for some unknown reason.

"Is that so?"

"Well, it's pretty cute."

Shiina Iori rubbed her chin and nodded: "When you go shopping in the future, remember to laugh like this with your uncles and aunts, understand?"

"why?"

"Easy to bargain."

"I remember!!"

Iori Shiina looked at Yui who suddenly became excited.

Not sure why.

However, after being excited for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up again, attracted by other things, and stretched out her hand.

"Iori! It's the God of Inari!"

Shiina turned to look at it, and it was a fox statue with a bell tied around its neck.

Japan is a country with a strong religious atmosphere, but because it is subtly integrated into the culture, it is difficult to be noticed by others.

In the folk, there are many similar roadside statues.

Most are Jizo or Inari gods.

Because the old base is in Kyoto, there are not many Inari statues in Tokyo.

"Crack! Crack!"

Yui has trotted all the way with the cloth pocket in her hand, and clapped her little hands together in front of the stone statue.

Silently do not know what to wish for.

When Shiina Iori approached, she heard mutterings like 'Ten consecutive shipments tonight'.

Shiina ignored her and touched the fox's head.

It feels very moist.

It should be always taken care of.

"Shina-kun!"

When Igarashi opened his eyes, he was stunned: "That one can't be touched! God Inari is a god who takes care of his stomach!"

"Disrespect to the messenger will be punished!"

"Gods are not so harsh to believers." Shiina Iori continued to touch, with a firm tone.

"Who knows that kind of thing, no one has seen it before!" Igarashi was a little uneasy, and folded his hands and pleaded for him in front of the fox.

"I've seen gods who fill their stomachs."

"Eh? Liar!"

"Do not lie to you."

Shiina Iori's tone was relaxed, and she gently rubbed her hand: "The gods who truly love people are all kind and kind."

"It looks ordinary."

"But hardworking, conscientious and dedicated."

"Dedicate your life to one thing."

"Because of their efforts, everyone around them has benefited for generations to come."

"As a result, they will be admired and admired by many, many people, and they will be used as role models in life and follow in his footsteps."

Igarashi covered his mouth and smiled: "How can there be such a god in this world? It doesn't sound very powerful at all, and he won't sprinkle corn rain or the like."

"How could it not be great?"

Shiina Iori turned her head and smiled gently.

"Wouldn't it be cool to have a god with a desire to 'fill everyone's stomach'?"

It was the first time Igarashi heard Shiina laugh in such a gentle voice, and unconsciously believed his words, and asked in a gentle voice:
"Where is this god?"

Shiina Iori was startled.

He raised his head, looked at the sky, and stretched out his fingers.

"About this location... number 8117."

"in the sky?"

"After all, he is a god, and he will eventually return to the sky."

"Say more."

"We can't always rely on him."

Igarashi Yui nodded ignorantly: "Yes... is that so?"

"correct."

"The kind of god who can watch everyone leave after lunch with peace of mind, is the real god."

Shiina Iori touched the warm fox's head again, and then stopped: "As for this kind of thing, you can just order it, don't take it too seriously."

"Oh oh~"

Igarashi didn't know why, but he seemed to have heard it.

When he looked up in the direction Shiina pointed, he saw nothing.

"Go, go home."

"coming!"

"You can't have leftovers today."

"Good~"

　Sorry, the rewriting took some time, because the mood is not stable, the text is rough, I will change it later.

　　Yuan Longping, international number 8117, is between Mars and Jupiter.

　　The national scholar is unparalleled, Yuan Lao is through the ages.
