Chapter 119 Kyudo Qualifiers (1)

7 month 1 day.

The rainy season finally slowed down on this day, and it has been raining for nearly a month. Just thinking about it is enough to make people miserable.

but!

Tomorrow is a big day.

In order to welcome tomorrow's qualifiers for the mixed men's and women's double archery competition that he and Jiu Liuli will participate in, at the end of today's training, Sakakibara went to the supermarket to buy ducks.

The ducks sold in the supermarket are all ducks that have been released from the same cage. In Sakakihara Raku's opinion, these ducks are all the same, and there is nothing to choose.

Ducks that have been out of the cage for one year have the best meat texture, neither too old nor too young.Supermarkets know this too.

But, what Sakakihara Le is going to make today is duck soup.

This must be the old duck. He went to several supermarkets but couldn't find the old duck he wanted.

There are no places that sell live chickens and ducks in Tokyo, and you can only see them in the suburbs or rural areas.

How to do?
Sakakibara thought for a while, then stood at the door of the rolling shutter door on the street, took out her mobile phone, and found someone's contact information.

He made a double-click on purpose, and drew a spell like he did when summoning a character.

please!
July Encyclopedia!

[Live duck?Brother, you can go to the pet store to have a look, if it tastes good, you can come again]
ummm
Come again
Then next time you buy a duck, the clerk must not catch himself asking, how is the duck being taken care of?

Can I say take care of the stomach?
July Encyclopedia, please be more reliable!
[No joke]
[Well, brother, you can go to the underground Chinese market in Shinjuku, there are often some strange things in it]
Is there a Chinese market in Shinjuku?

Isn't it in Ikebukuro and Shibuya?
So, following the map navigation, Sakakihara came to the Chinese market in Shinjuku.

After turning around countless alleys, Sakakihara finally saw the signboard of this place.

The signboard is very simple and unassuming, and several big red Chinese fonts indicate that this is [Shinjuku Underground Chinese Market].

Sakakihara Raku walked down the somewhat yellowed corridor, and the first thing he saw were small stalls, various noodle vermicelli and star anise spices.

It's a bit cold down there, but there are many people who come to buy things, and they all communicate in Chinese.

For a moment, Sakakihara felt as if she had returned to her hometown.

Here you can see sixgod toilet water, old g mama tempeh, Weiy soy milk, Wangw senbei, Kang sfu instant noodles - still tasted like Laotan sauerkraut.

Walking along the way, Sakakihara saw a Chinese kitchen knife and picked it up with great interest and flicked it twice.

The boss got up from the bamboo chair holding the cattail fan and walked over.

"Can you shoot garlic?" Sakakihara asked.

"Ah?! Little brother, what kind of kitchen knife is it if you can't shoot garlic? I am not a fake product sold by foreigners! If it is broken, you will be compensated!" said the old man in a big white vest, patting his chest. It's hot and the fan keeps blowing.

Sakakihara looked at it again, and it was indeed good.

"How much is it?"

"You're right! Buy it now, 3500 yen!"

Sakakihara turned around and left.

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
"2000! Little brother, how about 2000!"

After seven steps, the boss hurriedly called him to stop.

"1500." Sakakibara walked back and reported the number.

The boss had a pained face, and babbled a lot, as if I was about to lose money.

"Just 1500, if you don't sell it, I'll leave."

"Then, let's go. Little brother, I'm really at a loss!"

Sakakihara Le believes that he has a ghost, isn't it 3500 at the beginning?

How can this be sold for 1500?
What he spoke just now was in Chinese, is that how he is so intrusive towards overseas compatriots?
After packing the kitchen knife, Sakakihara came to the live poultry area again.

Chicken, duck, fish, unexpectedly, there are also rabbits.

If Ah Ling saw these white rabbits and gray rabbits, she would die of liking.

However, it's okay to kill chickens and ducks. If she saw that she was going to kill rabbits to eat, she would probably snatch the rabbits and say, "Bunny rabbits are so cute, you can't eat rabbits."

What do you know about the little girl's film, rabbit meat is good, spicy and cold rabbit is delicious, spicy and tender.

Make sure it's delicious when you're done.

So, Sakakihara spent 7000 yen to buy an old duck and a rabbit.

After buying the condiments for the stewed duck soup, Sakakihara left the market with a large sack containing ducks and rabbits.

This live bird would definitely not be able to take the tram, so Sakakihara chose to call a taxi to go home.

The starting price is 690, 1.5km.

There will be an increase of 300 yen for every 80 meters thereafter.

10 kilometers cost 3000 yen.

It's almost as expensive as a live duck. It hurts.

While riding in the car, the driver looked at the sack in his hand strangely, wondering if he was going to call the police.

Sakakihara quickly declared: "I didn't kill anyone."

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Sakakibara Suzu, who was lying on the sofa watching anime, found that Sakakihara Raku had returned home, rubbed her belly, and complained endlessly.

Sakakihara carried the sack, and as soon as she arrived in the living room, the three younger sisters looked at her at the same time.

They seem to be hungry.

He was deeply aware of what it meant to be sisters waiting to be fed.

"Dinner right away."

"What's in my brother's hand?"

"Ah," Sakakihara Raku glanced at the still moving sack in his hand, "Tonight's ingredients."

Tianhai Qimingyue is an insider, she pushed her glasses: "Duck."

"A live duck?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked her younger sister who had the same face.

"Correct."

After Tianhai Qimingyue agreed, she asked again: "Brother really bought a live duck? Will he kill it?"

"You city people, don't look down on rural people!"

Sakakihara Suzu sat up, she was so hungry that she hammered the carrot pillow on her big white leg, and exposed his lie without hesitation: "Liar! We came to Tokyo together when you were seven years old, where are you?" Will kill ducks."

"Don't underestimate your elder brother! I just saw our mother killed it, it's neat."

Among other things, handling ducks is a real hassle.

In order to keep A Ling, a young child who has never seen blood, away from the bloody scene, Sakakihara chose to boil a pot of hot water in the toilet to kill ducks.

Ducks are good at flopping, and it took a lot of effort to hold this guy by the wings.

Sakakibara was merciful and recited a sentence of Amitabha to it, and wiped the duck's neck gratefully.

Bloodletting, scalding, plucking, and internal organs took more than half an hour.

Sakakihara quickly blanched the duck meat, counted the condiments, added pepper, wolfberry, some jujubes, some yam, rice wine, Codonopsis pilosula, and finally added the specially purchased sour radish, and stewed over high heat.

Thinking of eating the delicious and sour authentic old duck soup that will make your mouth water later, Sakakihara can't help but miss it.

Listening to the sound of the gas stove burning, Sakakihara felt motivated for tomorrow's qualifiers.

Next, deal with the rabbit.

No, where is my rabbit?
When Sakakibara saw the empty sack, realized something was wrong, and looked towards the living room, she found that Ah Ling had already hugged the gray and white rabbit and started playing.

Didn't you tie the sack tightly?

"Of course it's because I saw the bag you brought back was moving, so I went over to take a look curiously," Sakakibaru Ling explained while stroking the rabbit's head, "I didn't expect it to be a rabbit!"

"Bunny~bunny~"

The rabbit's feet were originally dirty, but now they are clean.

Sakakihara guessed that she also took the rabbit to another toilet at home to wash its feet.

Tianhai Jiuliuli sat beside Sakakihara Ling and asked him, "Why do you buy rabbits, brother?"

Tianhai Qimingyue was holding the computer, typed something quickly with both hands, she said: "Since brother and duck brought the rabbit together, it means that he bought it at the market, and he bought it from the market. Buy with one and only one thought."

"eat."

"What! How can rabbits be eaten!" Sakakihara Ling immediately became wary of Sakakihara Raku, looking at her as if a brave man was closely watching the final boss, the big devil.

Sakakihara Raku: "Before you say this, please apologize to all the chicken, duck, beef and sheep you have eaten. Why should their meat be eaten for granted?"

"Of course, of course it's because the rabbit is cute!" Sakakibara Suzu-chan raised the rabbit up and faced Sakakihara Raku.

In fact, it was Sakakihara Suzu who wanted her brother to give her a rabbit as a gift.

"It's cute but it can't be eaten." Sakakihara Le looked at the moving three-petal mouth of the rabbit, thinking about how to trick the rabbit out of Ah Ling's hands.

"Cute is something that can be eaten! What cats and dogs do you see, don't they all rely on their appearance to win."

This is true. The times have changed, and the products have become more abundant. If it is replaced by ancient times, it is unreasonable to not eat it.

"That's fine, but the rabbit has just been bought from the market, and it's still dirty, so it needs to be washed."

Sakakibara bell held the rabbit warily: "You don't want to secretly use the rabbit to do bad things."

If I just become a spicy rabbit, will I do bad things?

Didn't you say nothing about killing a duck?

Woman oh woman.

"You watch me wash."

"Really? But brother, aren't you going to cook?"

"The vegetables are stewing, so I don't need to be busy."

"That's it, that's good, I'll watch you wash the rabbits." Sakakibara Ling smiled happily, and handed the rabbits to him.

Why do you like rabbits so much?

Sakakihara couldn't figure it out, he took the obedient gray and white rabbit, and took it to the toilet where the ducks were killed to take a bath.

Ah Ling was squatting on the side, smiling cutely and muttering: "Tutu~Tutu~"

First turn on the water, and then rub the hair with hot water.

Sakakihara Raku took advantage of her younger sister's daze, and secretly pulled out a kitchen knife from the corner.

"Wait, wait! Brother, what are you doing!"

React so fast?
With a rabbit in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, Sakakihara smiled kindly: "I'm going to massage the rabbit."

"Devil!" Suzu Sakakibara angrily took the rabbit back from his hand, "I don't believe you, you just want to eat rabbits! What's so delicious about rabbits, they are so thin and have so little meat."

How small is this rabbit?
I specially picked the big fat rabbit, okay?
"Anyway, this is what I bought. What are you going to do with it?"

"Nurse it! It's so cute. I've decided to give it a nice name, let's call it Lele!"

"."

"Okay, no kidding, bro, give it a name."

"I take it? Why do you want me to take it?"

"Because it means that bro, you saved it from the market! You are its hero!" Sakakibara bell lifted the rabbit up again.

Hey, have you ever seen a hero who wants to eat the saved?
Seeing that he couldn't eat the rabbit, Sakakibara sighed and thought about it reluctantly:
"Well, let me think about it, let's call it Wangcai, no, Wangcai is too much for dogs, and a lot for rabbits. It's called wealth."

"Huh~" Sakakibara Suzu looked disgusted, "Brother, the name you gave sounds like your mother's name."

Sakakihara Suzu was not talking about soil, but that the name was a bit weird, and normally they were called Xiaobai Xiaohui or something like that.

What Taro Jiro, this kind of name is soil.

Sakakibara Raku Elementary School met a man named Momotaro. Everyone looked at him, just like looking at calabash dolls in China.

"Brother, why don't you change your name~"

"It's useless to act like a baby with your voice, it's called rich."

In short, there is a new member inexplicably in the family - the gray and white rabbit "Fugui".

Although I don't know what it is useful for, but if Ah Ling wants it, she can only keep it for her.

What a wayward sister.

"Let me explain in advance, if you shirk everything about raising Fugui to me." Sakakihara found that Fugui, the rabbit, was looking at him.

"How about you?"

"Kill and eat."

"Cruel, I didn't expect you to be such a cruel person! Cold-blooded and ruthless!"

"Then the steak I cooked is delicious?"

"Fragrant." Sakakihara Suzu nodded.

"Then you apologize to the cow you ate!"

After cooking the soup for two hours, it was almost seven o'clock, and Ah Ling was already extremely hungry.

Sakakihara Raku unhurriedly asked Jiu Liuli to taste the old duck soup.

"How about it?"

"The aroma of duck meat and sour radish. The radish is a bit like the Oden in Osaka, but it's completely different, and it's a little sweeter." Tianhai Jiuliuli glanced at the pot that was emitting heat and aroma, gently Sniffing, "It smells so good."

Tianhai Qimingyue was indifferent, and after tasting it, she just nodded, "Not bad."

Sakakihara Suzu couldn't wait to run over, muttering "I'm the last one again", but she was also looking forward to this pot of duck soup that had been waiting for more than two hours.

After she took a sip of the cold soup, she gulped it down in one gulp.

He kept shouting, "Give me a sip! Give me another sip!!"

"No, it has to be boiled for another half an hour, and the taste is not fully produced yet."

"Brother~~" Sakakihara Ling almost hugged his leg and acted like a baby, "I'm hungry, I'm starving to death. Let me warm your bed tonight, okay~"

"Stop doing this."

Ah Ling only begs herself when she is begging for food, and at any other time, she is that sister who is so stinky.

"Aren't you listening to dubbing recently, practicing the voice of a female lead?"

"What's wrong."

"Isn't there a chorus ed in that anime? Sing it to me, and I'll make you something extra to eat. Duck soup won't work, so I have to boil it again."

"You! You, you, you! How do you know that I've been practicing recently and even sang the theme song?!"

"It's very simple, your senior told me."

"Brother smelly, you still have contact with seniors"

"It's normal to have contact, I care about your work."

Tianhai Qimingyue put down the spoon, and added next to her: "Brother is afraid that you will be bullied, and he is holding back in his heart so he dare not speak."

Although A-Ling speaks arrogantly, she still knows what kind of person her elder brother is.

What a fool!

A fool who is nice to everyone!
Hateful central air.

"I don't want to sing for my brother."

"What song?" Tianhai Jiuliuli was curious.

"We meet in winter in Tokyo," Tianhai Qimingyue put down her spoon and said, "The ending song of the TV animation "Our Love Is Always Only 10 Centimeters" is a work from a few years ago."

Sakakihara Ling turned her head and stared wide-eyed: "Brother, why are you telling Qi Mingyue!"

"I didn't tell you. It was she who heard me listening to this song and asked curiously. Then, haha, we are all family."

For the next time, Sakakihara Suzu glared at Sakakihara Raku with resentful eyes.

The old duck soup was stewed in half an hour.

When Sakakiharale brought a large handful of duck meat and duck soup to the kitchen in the living room, Ah Ling had an expression of anticipation that was visible to the naked eye.Just short of "Whoa!"

As for the sulking, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Go, go! I'm going!"

"Ling, I'll get you a spoon."

"Sister, don't worry about sister sauce."

Sakakibara, who was wearing an apron, put his hands on his back. He also smiled when he saw the three younger sisters sipping food around the steaming dining table.

In fact, this is very good.

Although it is a family that has just been formed, it feels like home and a warm feeling.

Jiuliuli, Qimingyue, and Ah Ling, even though their growth paths are different, they still yearn for a home in their hearts, don't they?
Of course, so do I.

At the end of the dinner, Ah Ling felt her chubby belly and went to watch TV on the sofa.

On the table were duck bone residues and rice bowls that had been swept away.

Really edible.

While talking in a low voice, Sakakihara took care of the mess, and Jiu Liuli also helped out by the way.

According to the usual practice, Sakakihara washed the dishes, and Jiu Liuli washed them again with clean water.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"Tomorrow's qualifiers, let's work hard."

"Of course!"

Sakakibara replied confidently, and when passing the bowl, she inadvertently touched Tianhai Jiuliuli's little hand.

She didn't care about anything, but smiled at herself generously.

Although Sakakihara Raku didn't react on the surface, but seeing her beautiful face and beautiful long flaxen hair, he thought that he would confess his love to her soon.
There is inevitably tension in my heart.

Will you agree?
