Chapter 28: Can’t be packed
"Wow..." Erina looked at the park, dazed for a while, and then suddenly said: "Hey, Yoshiyuki! I thought of..."
"Miss, what bad idea do you have again?"
"What a bad idea! I obviously just thought of one thing! By the way, you haven't heard anything at all!"
Erina was so angry that she slapped Yoshiyuki on the face with her dumplings.
It's soft and doesn't hurt at all.
"Okay, Miss. What do you want to say?"
Yoshiyuki held back his laughter and pressed the weapon in her hand before asking.
"Hmph, I just thought that my naughty old brother brings Mayu here to enjoy the cherry blossoms every year. He also takes pictures every time to make me angry! Now he can't make me angry anymore!"
Erina was a little angry when she said this, and vented her anger on the dumplings in her arms, kneading them until they bounced around.
Yoshiyuki couldn't help but laugh when he recalled what the eldest cousin had done.
The Yida family is a wealthy family. There are many people in her generation, but there are only two people who are relatively close to her.
They are 18-year-old cousin Yusuke Yida who is in his third year of high school.
and his 14-year-old cousin, Mayu Yida, who is in the second grade of junior high school.
They all went to Tokyo to study since they were in the first grade of junior high school. Servants were assigned to take care of him.
Mayu and Erina have a good relationship, but they are a little cold and even venomous toward Yoshiyuki.
It seems that he is jealous that he stays with his sister every day and is too close to Erina.
As for Yusuke, although he cares about Erina very much, he also likes to tease her. Erina was often offended by his pranks and became so angry that she could only beat Yoshiyuki with a dumpling to vent her anger.
Because Yusuke always deliberately showed off his pleasant experiences in Tokyo to stimulate her and add salt to the wounds of the eldest lady who could not go to Tokyo at the time, Erina hated Yusuke very much and wished she could tear his hands apart.
She even announced that once she really goes to Tokyo, she will add a famous specialty to Tokyo, called "Ten-toraki Yusuke".
The inspiration came from the Chinese food Yi Xing cooked for her: shredded chicken.
After Erina said this, she also complained about it, saying that Yusuke must be so disdainful, it must not taste good.
"Miss, maybe Brother Yusuke just wants to share the joy of cherry blossom viewing with you." Yoshiyuki comforted her without conscience.
"Do you use this tone when sharing happiness with others?!" Erina looked extremely depressed. She took out her phone and opened LINE, and found the conversation record with Yusuke at the Sakura Festival.
There is such a message from my brother above.
[Erina, Mayu and I are enjoying the cherry blossoms in Ueno Park, right? Look at the cherry blossoms here. Are they so gorgeous? Don’t be too envious. In fact, there isn’t much fun here. Sometimes I still feel that life in a small mountain village is more interesting, hahahaha! 】
"Okay...it's a bit mean." Yi Xing coughed awkwardly, feeling that this situation could not be settled.
He had only seen Erina drop her phone in anger after reading this message, and had no idea what was written in it.
"So, I don't understand him yet? He just wants to make me jealous on purpose! This guy is so evil!" Erina put away her phone with an unhappy look on her face: "But I never understand... Why? Why doesn't brother make fun of you and Mayu?"
Yoshiyuki thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.
"Maybe it's because the eldest lady's angry look after being teased is very interesting."
In fact, Yusuke Yida not only doesn't tease Yoshiyuki, but also treats him very well.
He is one of the people who cares about him the most in the Yida family, almost like his own brother.
From time to time I would send him something from Tokyo.
But the gift given to Erina is often used as a vehicle for jokes.
For example, during this year's Sakura Festival, he sent two packages.
The one for Yi Xing contains many delicious snacks.
But what was given to Erina was a large box with several smaller and smaller boxes inside like matryoshka dolls.
In the innermost small box is a cherry blossom petal.
The eldest lady smashed the box on the spot. While smashing it, she yelled that Yusuke thought he was very humorous and why he didn't give her snacks.
In fact, after all she said, both of them knew very well that giving Yoshiyuki something was equivalent to giving it to Erina.
Especially for desserts, he couldn't eat too much, and in the end almost all of them ended up in the eldest lady's stomach.
But based on this kind of unequal treatment, Erina often complained dissatisfiedly that she really couldn't figure out whose brother he was.
"Miss, we will be entering the first grade of high school next. Maybe we will go to the same high school as Yusuke-san."
Yoshiyuki and Erina said this as they walked towards Ichiran Ramen.
"Humph, I don't want it!" The eldest lady immediately expressed her strong resistance: "Who wants to study with such a disdainful brother? It's okay to go to the same school as Mayu!"
If that were the case, it would be more difficult for Yi Xing.
Because Mayu is really not close to him at all.
He even tried to remember when he had offended her. But there really is no such thing.
While eating at a ramen shop, Erina encountered an unexpected problem.
That is, due to the design of Ichiran Ramen, each seat is separated, so Yoshiyuki and Erina cannot sit together to eat as usual.
Then, it would be difficult to directly pass on the food that the eldest lady can't eat to Yi Xing.
When he saw Erina ordering the tonkotsu ramen, which she always liked, Yoshiyuki thought that this was definitely the case.
After all, this is one of the few foods that Erina has never rejected. Whether it is homemade by the Yida family or bought from the village ramen shop, the taste is to her liking.
However, this version of Ichiran Ramen was not to her taste.
So Erina barely moved her chopsticks a few times before she couldn't swallow.
So, Yoshiyuki, who was eating noodles next door, heard the eldest lady ringing the call bell on the table, and the following conversation took place.
"Sorry! I can't eat anymore. Can you give me a box?"
"Miss, we can't take away food in this store."
"Why!" Erina's tone was quite unbelievable: "I bought this with money!"
"For food safety reasons and to prevent customers from eating problems after food spoilage, our store will no longer provide takeout in the near future. We are very sorry."
"Huh? What! I have to pack it up and take it away. If there is any problem with the food, I will be responsible for it myself!"
"I'm sorry, the rules are the rules. It's really not allowed."
In the past, Japanese restaurants actually provided takeout.
But since an incident, most Japanese restaurants are no longer willing to provide takeaway services.
That is, a customer sued the restaurant after getting sick after eating take-out food that had been left out for too long and spoiled.
