Chapter 155: I Think so Too!

Yi Xing's academic performance has always been good, and his reading comprehension is naturally not bad either.

Therefore, he analyzed that Master Jin Shengtan's words might be a metaphor or satire.

Anyway, when you don't know how to answer a question, as long as you say this sentence is a metaphor, you can basically get one point. It can be said to be a trick with higher technical content than "choose one long from three short and one long".

If we analyze it carefully, it is probably because he deeply felt the extreme absurdity of life.

He died innocently and responded with this black humor, which was probably a mockery of this unfair treatment. It reflects his open-mindedness.

All in all, Yoshiyuki felt that there was no need to force an interpretation.

Otherwise, it would be the same as trying to explain Lu Xun's "it's dark".

Jin Shengtan's trick may not be useless, but the dried tofu and peanuts he bought were not the type that the master would eat. Or maybe they have different perceptions of ham. After all, those were people from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Yoshiyuki knows some tricks that really work for him.

For example, cut cucumbers and apples into shreds and eat them together, giving them a cantaloupe flavor.

Soybean sprouts, mushrooms and red dates are cooked into soup, which has the flavor of soup stock made from big bones or chicken. It is also called vegetarian soup.

Cut the fried dough sticks into pieces and put a little non-spicy bean paste on them. After one bite, it tastes like honey.

Of course, he had no research or requirements on food in his previous life, so he didn't know any of these tips before traveling through time.

Now that he has no shortage of money to buy good things to eat, he naturally has little need for these tricks that are comparable to taste magic.

However, if you occasionally perform for them when there are guests, you can still get a lot of applause.

Since Erina has never been short of food, and has never communicated with peers who know how to save so much, Sakurayuki Chiai's words really attracted the eldest lady, and made Erina deeply admire her.

This point still makes Yi Xing feel very gratified. Erina has never been arrogant just because she has money. Although she is a bit disdainful, her self-cultivation and character are still quite good.

This is inseparable from the tutoring of the Yida family. When the elders of the entire family do not have the arrogance and airs of the rich, the children will naturally be influenced by it and will not become annoying people. Not to mention treating the poor as human beings.

At this time, Sakurayuki Chiai was telling Erina with great interest what her favorite way to eat was to save money and trouble.

That is, put the cold rice in a bowl, put a piece of pickled plums in the middle, then pour hot green tea on it, and mash the plums!

In this way, a delicious and nutritious meal of plum chazuke is complete!

Can be eaten with pickles. But the sour and salty nature of plums is enough to go with rice.

Even without green tea, a small pickled plum is enough to accompany a large bowl of rice.

If green tea is infiltrated, the slight sweetness, bitterness and fragrance can bring out the wonderful taste of plums. Take one sip and enjoy the bliss and satisfaction.

Such a meal, after calculating the electricity bill, the cost of pickled umeboshi and the price of rice, actually costs less than 30 yen!

After hearing this, Yoshiyuki felt that it was quite a sophisticated way to save money.

However, if you really analyze it carefully... you will find that this kind of meal is really not compatible with nutrition.

But his desire to complain was interrupted by Ying Xue's words.

She happily told Erina: "Buying such a basic bowl of Ochazuke rice outside will cost more than 400 yen! But what about having a meal at home? Actually... you can enjoy 0.75 immediately fold!"

"Hey? How much is the 0.25% discount?" Erina's brain short-circuited: "It's just...a hundred yen item is sold for 25%, right?"

"Ah no, Miss, you are too wrong." Yoshiyuki corrected in a dumbfounded voice: "That's called a 25% discount! A 0.25% discount means that something worth 10,000 yen is sold for 750!"

"Ah? If it's ten thousand yen, it's 0.25% off... shouldn't it be seventy-five?"

"Seven hundred and five! One discount is one thousand, and the 0.75 discount is multiplied by seventy-five percent, so it is seven hundred and five!"

"Damn it... I can't even count such a huge number!" Erina complained: "If you suddenly give such an example, no normal person can react."

"Apologise to normal people!"

The chat with Sakura Snow Qianai became more and more lively.

Yoshiyuki unexpectedly discovered that unlike Ying Xue's quiet appearance and demeanor, she was actually quite talkative.

At least, that's how it was in the presence of friends who made her feel relaxed.

Every ingredient in Yingxue's refrigerator seems to have an interesting story behind it.

Take those two bags of chunky miso packaged in clear ziplock bags.

Yoshiyuki looked at it and felt very curious, so he asked.

"It's really rare to find bulk miso like this. Is it homemade?"

"Yes." Yingxue Qianai looked at it, her eyes full of tenderness: "An old woman gave it to me. Her spleen and stomach have always been bad. When I came to visit the shrine, I saw that she bought an ema that can ward off diseases, so I asked If possible, give her a bag of Chuxue tea..."

"After some time, when she came to visit the shrine again, she brought several bags of hand-made miso to me and Hatsuyuki-sama as a thank you gift. She said that her body has completely recovered! The miso made by the old lady is really delicious, every time When I eat, I will think of her. I really hope that she will be healthy and enjoy her old age in peace."

This story moved Yi Xing extremely.

But this emotion was quickly shattered by Erina's words.

"But Sakuragami doesn't seem to eat miso. Do you want to bury it under the tree and let her taste it? In this case, it is actually used as fertilizer. It is still the kind with too much salt."

"Miss, please shut up! Obviously you are also a miko, can you be a little more romantic!"

"What, I'm also very romantic!" Erina shouted dissatisfied: "I'm just considering this issue from a very special perspective!"

"Yeah. That's true. But what I tasted is actually equivalent to Sakuragami-sama having tasted it, right? She can feel everything I feel."

"Huh? That means..." Erina rubbed her hands and suddenly looked a little excited: "When you are constipated-"

"That's it, Miss! Stop talking!!!"

After hearing her words, Yingxue Qianai suddenly seemed a little dumbfounded.

But she still said it in a gentle and patient tone.

"Although I have never been constipated, it's just like what I said! Chuxue-sama will feel the same when doing anything? So sometimes when she can't pull it out, she will feel very hard, so she will Come on for me."

"Oh~!" Erina was immediately moved: "It's so shocking! What a wonderful spiritual connection!"

"Yes, Yida-san! I think so too!" Yingxue nodded seriously.
