Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 34 Living Fossils (2) Yakitori

When I went out to Edo town in February of Genroku, I found a yakitori stall.

The delicious smell from there stimulated my appetite, so I walked straight up with the two of my children as a little stopover before going to the fox hole.

If you look closely, the shape is the yakitori stall.However, it seemed that the restaurant had an outdoor sales office attached to it.

Is it a drive-through hamburger shop or a lunchbox shop, for example?

Reaching back and peeking inside, the counter was right behind the cooking area.

The cooks move around busily, stabbing yakitori on a skewer and putting it on an iron net.

Seared by fire, the sounds of sauce and oil bouncing and the fragrant smell are mixed together, and they are all appetizing.

By the way, it has nothing to do with yakitori, but the culture of take-back seems to have been driven by me.

Originally, there were rice balls, vegetables, or bowls, but old ways to get around were on foot and horses.

Besides, the preservation technique was immature.

But now there are various vehicles such as coaches, trains, and ships.

Above all, we took away all the branches and freed up the movement of each clan, so it's easy to move out anyway.

It was therefore inevitable that a new food and beverage system would emerge.

And when it comes to going out in the future, it's a car or train, and it's a classic to bring a lunch box with you.

As a result of my usual inadvertent murmuring, the method of packing vegetables and rice in the box became widespread.

In addition, considering environmental and resource issues, if you bring the used shop boxes clean and dry, we also proposed a service that can be packed on the spot and sold at a discount on the box cost.

This went very well.

In the future, it is becoming obsolete, but it is like bottled milk a little while ago.

And the lunchbox is engraved with the name and mark of the shop, and the customer carries it with him to promote it.

And the expiration date is today, and even if the eco-box is dirty, it can be packed, but if food poisoning occurs in large quantities, it will be an incident.

But one or two of them would have been unhygienic.

Anyway, when I came near the yakitori restaurant, I saw a big sign standing.

When I looked at you carefully, it was written that the store had been open since 11: 00.

Now it's past ten o'clock, so I can't eat it because it smells delicious near here.

I was just a little disappointed, but it slipped into my mouth.

"The store will open from eleven o'clock.Unfortunately, let's give up. "

When I exhaled thinking that I wanted to eat yakitori, the clerk at work at the restaurant noticed me and raised his face in a hurry.

"Whoa! Hello! Ah, what about you!?"

"It's a mistake!"

I didn't have to ask for the continuation, so I thought it would be bad if I talked any more, and I aggressively misled.

When I heard the voice, I was in danger of discovering who I was, and such things disappeared from my head, and I was desperate on the spot anyway.

But a tough cook with artisanal temperament observes us with an unconvincing face.

Next, he turned his gaze to the two children and nodded softly, clapping his hands as if there was a point of convergence.

"Looks like you're mistaken!I'm sorry to disturb you! "

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I was surprised that the disguise would be seen, and I was relieved that I escaped the pursuit on the spot.

However, the suspicious facts remained unchanged, so I decided that it would be bad to stay here forever.

Step back naturally to get out of the way.

Then an uncle who appeared to be the representative of the yakitori and lunchbox shop called out with a slightly stiff smile.

"By the way, uh... did the young lady need anything from our store?"

For a moment I was worried about how to answer my uncle's question, but there was no need to hide it, so I confessed honestly.

"Actually, I ate your yakitori ─ ─"

"Here you go! Eat as much as you like!"

Huh?

The leopard is very strange.

I am in a hurry to ask him about it, as it should have been under preparation in the first place.

Um, weren't you preparing?

"It starts at eleven o'clock, but let's make sure your daddy has enough to eat!"

I wonder what kind of person it is.

But humans are more vulnerable to smaller and cuter creatures than they used to be.

I don't know who she really is, so it's likely that she made it convenient for me because of the appearance of a young girl.

But now I thank my uncle for his goodwill and thank him for letting me eat yakitori.

Well then, let me kindly sweeten you up.

"Yes! So what do we do?We have onions, chicken meat, salmon, and grizzly liver ─ ─ "

In addition to that, I was going to give you the types of yakitori in turn, but I was just confused.

I will only buy in the future if I feel free to pick a pack from a supermarket or convenience store shelf.

I only remember the name Yakitori, so I don't know what it is at all, even if it is arranged as a kind of rag.

So I spoke aggressively about the alley that is often used in times of trouble.

"Recommend the shop"

"Recommended! Our yakitori is delicious!"

With such an economical answer coming back, my attempt to escape the scene ended in failure.

The clerk's answer is also a classic, but this is really troublesome.

As a last resort, when I looked at the two of my children, I immediately understood their intentions because they had been dating for quite a long time.

The caretaker stepped forward and spoke magnificently with a smile.

All kinds, please take one at a time

"Yes, you guys! One for all species!"

Yes! Welcome!

After an exchange at some tavern, the uncle returns to the kitchen and starts cooking at the same time, including the other clerks.

In the first place, several bottles were already available and packed in a storage box, but I didn't know why I started from the beginning.

However, I couldn't say anything more to the shopkeeper who said that I wanted the young lady to eat freshly made food.

I felt sorry for interrupting in the meantime, and I took the two of my kids a little further from the shop.

Enter the back alley for a little while and interact quietly so that you can lurk.

"I'm a snack, so one or two would be enough."

"We'll take care of what you can't eat, so it's okay."

When I heard that, I realized that maybe both of my kids wanted to eat yakitori.

"Inari God, taste all the yakitori and give us the rest."

"But it's dirty when you're about to eat it."

When I open my mouth feeling a little sorry, it becomes clear in the next sentence that we do not all share together.

"It's never dirty!"

Because they were both excited and their cheeks were flushing, I realized that that was their true wish, even if it wasn't a response.

Surely it is still normal to hand down what the monarch is using.If you are so full of loyalty or faith, you can force me to convince you that there is no problem.

Afterwards, I received all kinds of yakitori from the shop owner and enjoyed each bite by bite. After a long time, I was able to eat a future B-grade gourmet food and exhaled happily.

And the remainder shall be given, as promised, unto a child whose joy cannot be hidden.

Without realizing that the clerk and passers-by were smiling at the scene, he walked back to his original destination in a Lunlung mood.
