[Comprehensive] On the possibility of food conquering the world

March is the most beautiful time for early cherry blossoms in full bloom, and it is also a time of joy and sadness for these graduated teenagers.Be happy for yourself to spend the flower season and rainy season, and move towards adulthood.And because I was about to go to university and had to be separated from my friends, I was sad.

Looking at the classmates laughing and embracing with their families and crying with their friends under the blossoming cherry tree, Jin Shiyue walked out of this bustling campus by herself and walked on the somewhat desolate street with her graduation certificate .

He is an orphan of Chinese and Japanese mixed race. He grew up and went to school under the sponsorship of Akashi's family. He has no relatives who can send blessings for his graduation, and no friends who can cry with him because of parting.Because he didn't want to bother the Akashi family too much, Shiyue has been doing part-time child labor in some small places. He hasn't made any friends in the past three years. The part-time job keeps changing. Although he has a good personality, he hasn't made any friends in part-time jobs. .

For graduation, October is both joyful and troublesome. Graduating from high school at the age of 18 means that you have the ability to be independent in Japan. If he chooses to continue to study in university, the Akashi family will naturally choose to continue to provide for him. However, his grades are not Very good, I didn't choose to continue to go to college, but chose to enter the society and start working.

October is happy that at the age of 18, he can work in a regular store. What is sad is that in Tokyo, a bustling city with more people, it is too difficult to find a regular job with a salary that allows him to rent a small house.

October left the school, and didn't stop until the noisy voice could no longer be heard.

Coincidentally, the place where he stopped was a small park. The park was very dilapidated and there was no trace of people. October, who was full of melancholy, walked straight to a bench, wanting to sit and rest, and think about it by the way. Think about what life will be like next.

Going around to the front of the bench, Shi Yue discovered that the bench had been occupied by "people".The one occupying this bench is a very beautiful black cat with smooth and shiny black hair. If it wasn't for the tag around its neck, October would have thought it was a house cat.The bench is facing the sun, it is indeed the cat's favorite place to sleep.

However, the black cat didn't fall asleep. It seemed that it sensed that someone was coming. He opened one eye, looked at Jin Shiyue up and down, closed his eyes again, and shook his slender and powerful tail. , ignoring the sudden intruder.

October doesn’t want to grab a seat with a cat, but looking around, there is only one bench in this small park at present. If she wants to stop for a rest, October can only lean down and get close to the black cat. in front of you.

"That..." As soon as Shi Yue opened his mouth, the black cat opened his eyes and looked up at him. There was no defense in the golden eyes, and no sharp claws protruded from the soft pads.

[Very well, I don't mean to attack. 】October breathed a sigh of relief.

The black cat raised its head, as if saying: Stupid human, what's the matter, tell me quickly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you basking in the sun. I want to take a break, but there is only one place nearby where I can sit. Can I sit here?" Part-time for three years, these wild cats are often seen in back streets and alleys, October is too clear, these cats have a proud personality, if you are not careful, you may get scratched in the face.

The golden eyes of the black cat purred in its sockets, its body lying on the bench stretched wide, and rolled around twice, revealing its belly that also had pure black hair. There was a big vacancy.

Shiyue froze for a moment, and tentatively asked the black cat with its belly open. "Does this mean let me sit? Mr. Black Cat?"

The black cat opened its belly and basked in the sun with squinted eyes. Hearing what October said, the black cat impatiently patted the space it had vacated with its tail.

October, who understood what Mr. Black Cat meant, thanked him and sat down.Basking in the warm sun, lying on the bench.In the season of March, new shoots sprouted on the dead wood, and it is not difficult to imagine the lush appearance in the future, but there is no way to know what his future will be.

"Hey, Mr. Black Cat."

Mr. Black Cat seemed to know that he was calling himself, lazily opened his eyes and looked at October, wagging his tail leisurely, waiting for his next words.

Shi Yue watched a paper kite fly higher and higher in the air in the distance, and soon fell down because of its owner's improper technique.He lowered his head slightly and looked at Mr. Black Cat. "You said, am I wrong? Should I continue to rely on the sponsorship of the Akashi family to go to college like everyone else, and be a useless person?"

As he spoke, he stretched toward the sky and let out a long sigh. "I thought I rejected the continued help from the Akashi family, and wanted to support myself with my own efforts, but I couldn't do anything. In school, my studies are so-so, what can I do?"

"Ah, by the way, there is at least one thing. My grades in home economics are still very good. After all, I have been cooking and eating by myself since I came out of the orphanage." Nose, suddenly he remembered something, picked up the student bag at hand, took out two rice balls from it, glanced at it, and handed one of the triangular rice balls dotted with sesame seeds to the black cat.

"Mr. Black Cat, would you like to try my handicraft? Inside is my marinated mackerel. Although it is the cheapest kind of fish, it still tastes good. Ah, there is a lot of salt in the pickled things, Mr. Black Cat Can you eat it?"

Seeing the rice ball, the black cat quickly turned over, lying there, looking at the rice ball in his hand.Seeing that Shi Yue kept talking to himself and didn't put down the rice ball, he smacked his thigh impatiently with his slender tail, Shi Yue paused, feeling a bit painful unexpectedly.

Knowing that Mr. Black Cat was impatient, Shiyue shut up, put the rice ball in front of it, and started to eat another rice ball in his hand.

Compared to the rice ball that Mr. Black Cat took a big bite of pickled fish, the rice ball in Shiyue’s hand was big, but he couldn’t see the core, not even a plum. After taking a bite of the rice ball, he just wanted to meow and praise the boy The black cat paused for a moment, glanced at Shi Yue meaningfully, and buried himself in his pickled fish rice balls.

Although the white rice ball in Shiyue's hand was relatively large, for a teenager who was growing up, it took less than a few minutes to finish it.

Reminiscing about the faint taste in his mouth, he looked down at Mr. Black Cat who was washing his face with his paws after eating the salted fish rice balls, Shi Yue chuckled softly.Mr. Black Cat stopped cleaning in confusion and looked up at him.

"Hey, Mr. Black Cat, what do you think I will open a restaurant in the future? The name is called October Pavilion. From now on, Mr. Black Cat can come to me anytime when you are hungry..." Speaking of this, Shiyue felt a little embarrassed touched his head. "Although I don't have much money now, let alone my own restaurant, I will definitely have one in the future!"

"Well, if you decide to feed me, it's not impossible to give you a restaurant~"

An unfamiliar male voice sounded from the side, Shi Yue suddenly stopped her awkward smile, looked around, but couldn't find anyone other than herself.

"Yes, is anyone here?"

"Boy, look here, it's me! Stupid!"

October's arm propped on the chair was hit hard by the furry whip, which made him gasp.Mr. Black Cat jumped up, onto his lap, and squatted down gracefully.Under October's gaze, he slowly opened his mouth, but what came out was not a lazy meow, but a standard human language.

"For the sake of the good taste of rice balls, I can fulfill your wish, boy." As he spoke, Mr. Black Cat swung his tail. Gen turned into Jiugen, and the golden pupils seemed to have magical powers, making Shiyue unable to move his eyes away.

"Young man, is your wish to have a restaurant of your own, feed me?"

Shi Yue nodded dumbly, and suddenly remembered a story, the eight-tailed cat demon worked hard to cultivate the ninth tail, but he had to meet someone who could make him perfect, so he could cultivate the real ninth tail.Thinking of this, October desperately shook his head.

"No, I don't want the restaurant anymore. Mr. Black Cat got the ninth tail, so hurry up and become a Buddha!"

Mr. Black Cat got stuck in his mouth when he was about to say something, and the non-stop shaking nine tails also stopped, and then rolled over on October's lap with a smile.

"Hahahaha, you idiot, hahahaha, you haven't heard and believed the story about the eight-tailed cat demon casually spread by humans, hahahaha, idiot, fool."

Shi Yue blushed from his exaggerated laughter. He really believed in the story of the eight-tailed cat demon becoming a Buddha. At that time, he cried for a while when he heard this story, but he didn't expect...it was a lie.

Mr. Black Cat laughed enough, sat upright on October's lap, and coughed a few times. "Well, boy, you are very interesting. I believe that living with you will not be boring for decades. I can give you restaurants, housing, and work hard to feed me from now on. My appetite is very big. of."

Mr. Black Cat showed a shallow smile, and pressed his paw on the back of his right hand on his leg. After a little burning pain, a golden cat paw print appeared on the back of his hand, and disappeared in a moment.

"From now on, I am your store manager, and you are the acting store manager of the October Pavilion." Mr. Black Cat jumped off his lap and landed on the ground. "Go back and pack your things today, and tomorrow I will take you to see your restaurant."

After speaking, Mr. Black Cat disappeared into the grass.

"Hey, what's going on here..." Shiyue still looked at the back of his hand in a daze, the golden cat's paw print reappeared on the back of his hand under his gaze, and a transparent interface was displayed in front of his eyes.
