Chapter 154: Six Equal Portions of Rice

There are mainly these things in the refrigerator.

Pickles and pickles in glass jars, several boxes of rice in plastic boxes, pickled umeboshi, udon noodles, bulk miso and natto.

As for the freezer, Yingxue said there was a bit of chicken, pork and saury in it.

It's all pretty cheap meat.

She must be reluctant to eat beef, shrimp and those expensive sea fish.

"Hey, Sakurayuki." Erina pointed to the white rice in plastic boxes and asked with some confusion: "Is this leftover rice?"

"Yes." Qianai Sakurayuki replied: "Because the work at the shrine is very busy, I always cook six meals at a time. This can also save some electricity bills."

"Yes, that's it." Erina seemed to have a brain short-circuit when she heard what she said: "Huh? But why is half of the rice in each box? Doesn't this take up more space?"

"It doesn't matter. The refrigerator is not full to begin with."

"Ah, I understand!" Erina suddenly realized: "In other words, if you make the refrigerator fuller with six equal portions of rice, you will feel happier! So she and I stuffed a lot of it into the cabinet. Same as dumplings!”

"No, no, Miss, your example is very puzzling! You are not short of dumplings!"

When Yingxue Qianai heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

After that, she quickly apologized and said that she didn't mean to laugh, but she suddenly thought of Yida-senpai's mention of the cabinet to her, and she couldn't help it.

Just the thought of opening the cupboard and being overwhelmed by the dumplings rushing out makes me laugh uncontrollably.

"Oh! That one is indeed spectacular!" Erina said with her hands on her hips triumphantly: "Did you almost take Takagi-san away?"

"Miss, don't sound so proud!" Yi Xing complained: "Isn't it bad if it kills someone?"

"It's not that easy to die! What fell out was not a stone! The dumplings are so soft that even if they are buried, they will only feel happy!"

"You'll be suffocated! Don't talk so lightly!"

"Well, I've actually always wanted to know." Qianai Yingxue held back her laughter and asked, "Since there are so many dumplings in the cabinet, what should I do when I want to take them out to play? Every time Will it cause a mudslide in Tuanzi?”

"No way." Erina chuckled and gave the answer: "When I want to take out a certain dumpling, I always use magic to assist it! Specifically, before opening the door, a sloping barrier is set up outside the cabinet. When they roll out, they will hit the barrier!"

"Huh? It can still be like this." Yingxue Qianai was very impressed: "What happens next?"

"After I selected the dumpling I wanted to take, I used the floating technique to pull it over. Next, I pushed the barrier inward! This way I can easily push the other dumplings back into the cabinet! Then close the cabinet and let the barrier and the dumplings stay together. It will just disappear naturally. It’s very simple, right?”

"This...should I say it's simple? Or does it look like it's not necessary..." Yingxue Qianai smiled sheepishly and suggested: "Why not use two cabinets to hold the dumplings?"

"Because filling a cupboard full of dumplings will give people a very happy feeling! Just like the rice in your refrigerator!"

"Miss! I've already said that metaphor doesn't make sense at all!"

After complaining like this, Yoshiyuki once again turned his attention to the boxes of white rice.

To prevent deterioration, the plastic boxes are wrapped in plastic wrap.

However, the plastic wrap looked wrinkled and had some curled and torn edges.

It had obviously been reused many times. The standard usage of only using each piece of plastic wrap once was not followed.

As for why she did this, Yoshiyuki can probably guess.

Just to save money.

When Yingxue Qianai washed the tea set just now, she didn't use tap water, but scooped water from the tank, probably to save water bills - there was no need to pay for using the groundwater from the old well in her backyard.

In fact, plastic wrap is really expensive. And it’s that kind of invisible noble method.

What does this mean?

That said, it's hard to tell that this thing isn't cheap. Easily use up a lot.

At first glance, the roll seems expensive, but it seems to last a long time.

But in fact, once you get into the habit of pulling one piece out to wrap fruits, vegetables, boxes, etc., it will soon be used up.

However, use less plastic wrap. It just means that there is no need to cover some things with it, or even put it in the refrigerator.

Not that it can be reused.

That's not healthy.

But Yoshiyuki didn't point this out either.

After all, Sakura Snow Qianai is blessed by the Sakura God, and weak germs are basically ineffective against her.

Of course, it's just the basics. It doesn't mean that you won't get diarrhea and other minor illnesses. In order to save money, Yingxue probably wouldn't care about these minor problems.

"So..." Yoshiyuki pointed to the plastic boxes and asked, "So, does each of these plastic boxes contain a meal?"

"Yes. Maekawa-kun guessed it right! The reason why each box only contains half of the rice is because it is just the right amount. If the boxes are full, it will be inconvenient to eat."

When Yingxue said this, her tone paused.

Then, he took out a box and showed it to everyone while introducing it enthusiastically.

"Like now...a box is a bowl, which is a meal! When you are busy, heat it up and mix it with some pickles, and you can eat it right away. Or even just pour soy sauce on the rice and mix it with some mustard. You can also eat it directly. Can you three try it too? It tastes very similar to tuna rice."

"Huh? Really?!" Erina was shocked: "Is there such a miracle? It's obviously ingredients with such a big price difference! Sakurayuki, are you kidding me?"

"No, Yida-san! It really tastes like tuna rice. When I was a kid, I was served as a guest at Chairman Shimizu's house, and the difference in taste was only 10% or 20%! Just imagine that there is tuna on top. , will automatically eliminate the differences and really have the same taste, right?"

"Oh!" Erina's eyes sparkled: "I learned some pretty cool knowledge!"

This reminds Yoshiyuki of an allusion.

Before Jin Shengtan was beheaded, when he left his last words, he actually joked with the supervisor: "Chew dried tofu and peanuts together, it tastes like ham."

However, when Yi Xing actually tried it, he couldn't taste the ham at all.

Perhaps, this is the realm of imagination that is not enough.

It might also be because he didn't really understand the original meaning of this sentence.
