Chapter 408: Tornado Shark Fin Sausage!
While Ryohei was bustling with activity, the first couple—Murakami Takaki and Ishihara Rima—arrived at Takaki's apartment.
The apartment he rented was relatively close.
After the two entered, not caring to drink water or rest, Ishihara Rima urged impatiently: "Takaki, open it quickly and take a look!"
"Mn, I'll pull this side, you pull the other side; we open the Lucky Bag together."
Murakami Takaki pinched one end of the bowknot at the mouth of the Lucky Bag, signaling Ishihara Rima.
"Okay~."
Ishihara Rima's eyes curved into crescent moons. She extended her slender fingers with manicured nails, pinched the other side, and counted down ceremoniously:
"Three, two, one...!"
The bowknot was untied—
A dazzling golden light spewed out from the opened Lucky Bag, illuminating both their faces.
"Oh ho—! Just like opening a treasure chest in a game!"
Murakami Takaki said excitedly.
"As expected of the Cooking Sage's Lucky Bag; this emotional value is maxed out!"
Ishihara Rima's eyes were shining, and excitement on her face was unstoppable.
Then—
Murakami Takaki reached into the Lucky Bag, making "Da-da-da-da" sound effects with his mouth, and took out the first item—
It was a beautifully packaged box!
"New product... Tornado Shark Fin?"
"Looks like a sausage."
The packaging had a picture of a sausage printed on it, along with a baffling tagline—Love comes too fast, just like a tornado!
"This name is so peculiar, the tagline too... Could it be that eating it will sweep you away by a tornado?"
Recalling the strange experiences when tasting the Cooking Sage's desserts or dishes before, Murakami Takaki couldn't help letting his imagination run wild and making bold guesses.
After speaking, he couldn't help laughing first.
"Very possible."
Where there is a Sleeping Dragon, there must be a Phoenix Chick!
Ishihara Rima hugged her chest with one hand, pinched her chin with the other, and agreed seriously. Then she tilted her head, wondering: "But what does this have to do with love?"
The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"Curious to death!"
"Rima, let's try it for lunch? I've never eaten shark fin sausage in my life." Murakami Takaki handed the "Tornado Shark Fin" to his girlfriend.
"Agree!"
Ishihara Rima took the box, flipped to the back to check the instructions—just steam over water for 15 minutes.
Then she took out the second item, another box of "Tornado Shark Fin."
After that were various desserts, as well as semi-finished products like shumai and sauce meat buns.
Murakami Takaki and Ishihara Rima made a rough estimate—
Not counting the two boxes of "Tornado Shark Fin," the remaining items, calculated based on the store's selling price, had a total value of around 120,000 Yen.
"This Lucky Bag is such a bargain!"
"Yeah! Profited big time!"
...
"Ah—! Already so many people in line?"
When Kirishima Touka arrived at the commercial street, she was slightly startled seeing the queue almost reaching the entrance of the commercial street.
Wearing her cafe uniform, she hurriedly took Kaneki Ken to join the end of the line.
Before coming—
She and Kaneki Ken were on duty at the shop when they suddenly received a call from Irimi Kaya saying the "Meet You" dessert shop had opened.
It was currently selling Lucky Bags containing desserts and semi-finished food from the restaurant.
She and Kaneki Ken closed the shop directly and rushed over.
By the way, there were still a few customers in the shop. When she mentioned this matter, those few customers ran faster than them!
"At this time, this position... barring any accidents, we should be able to buy a Lucky Bag!" Kaneki Ken, wearing a white medical eyepatch over his left eye, clenched his fist gently and said excitedly.
The past month or so had been miserable for him!
At the beginning of last month, the Cooking Sage suddenly said he was going on a trip, and then the supply was cut off. The Manager took care of him and gave him a larger share of steamed vermicelli and noodles, but it wasn't enough!
Eat one meal, starve for three!
For this reason, he volunteered to participate in the CCG's artificial food research experiment.
And this was the beginning of his nightmare!
The food tasting bad was one thing, but the key was that his body had severe rejection reactions after eating, the worst time causing him to cough up several mouthfuls of blood.
As time passed, Kaneki Ken realized the gold content of the Cooking Sage more and more!
This was simply the savior of ghouls, and half-ghouls like him!
Speaking of which... don't know if he is still willing to continue providing steamed vermicelli and noodles...
Kaneki Ken thought somewhat apprehensively.
...
New Commercial Street—
Among the winding queue, the number of ghouls was not small, and more and more ghouls were rushing from all directions.
Humans were the same.
At the same time, inside Takaki's apartment—
"Didn't expect to be able to eat glowing cuisine at home; this is too blissful!"
Murakami Takaki and Ishihara Rima sat opposite each other, speaking excitedly.
In front of each of them was a plate of steamed vermicelli and noodles, garnished with a fried egg, two emerald green broccoli florets, and a shark fin sausage emitting a pale golden glow!
Click—!
Take photos before eating!
Ishihara Rima took a photo with her phone, checked it, and nodded with satisfaction.
She put the phone aside, clasped her hands together:
"Itadakimasu!"
Murakami Takaki's voice rang out simultaneously with hers.
The two lowered their heads in tacit understanding and first slurped a mouthful of steamed noodles.
In an instant—
The rich aroma of soy sauce wrapped with the mellow fragrance of sesame oil rippled in the mouth, followed by the wheat fragrance of the noodles themselves, blending with the deep salty freshness of the soy sauce!
And a faint sweetness spreading on the tip of the tongue...
"Mmm—! Delicious! It's this taste!"
Ishihara Rima clamped her thighs, held her cheek with one hand, and revealed an expression of enjoyment.
"Won't get tired of this no matter how many times I eat it!"
Murakami Takaki's pleasantly surprised voice followed closely.
Then—
The couple looked at the shark fin sausage coincidentally.
Without saying anything, they picked up the shark fin sausage glowing with pale golden light, brought it to their mouths, and took a big bite.
The next moment—
The two's movements paused, their eyes widened abruptly, and their expressions became shocked—
Tornado... appeared!
