Afrika Seimei and his star company

Arakawa always got off work very late, and he usually left after finishing supper for his colleagues.But today, Boya called him to the office and told him that he would not have to cook supper in the future, and he could leave work after dinner.

"If you are responsible for three meals and supper, your working hours are too long and it does not comply with the labor law." Boya paused for a while, and added: "You will not be deducted from your salary, nor will your bonus."

"Okay, okay." Arakawa was very happy when he heard that he could get off work early.

In the past, when Arakawa walked out of the company, it was completely dark. He always walked alone on the narrow tree-lined path beside the company. Illuminates a small meadow below.This boulevard was originally built by the Boya expansion company, and the construction was presided over by the contractor's two-faced Buddha. When it was just completed, all the street lights were on, and the whole road was shining golden.

However, that was all in the past.

Arakawa has a pet fish, a golden fish.

Arakawa has kept this fish for many years. When he got this fish, he was still a child, and so was that goldfish.At that time, the goldfish was still very small, and Arakawa could store a handful of water, put it in the palm of his hand, and watch it flexibly swing its golden tulle-like dreamy tail and fins, and the gills opened and closed.

Now, the goldfish has grown very big. Arakawa bought a big fish tank for the goldfish. There are aquatic plants in it, shells and colorful stones he picked up from the seaside all over the world, and many small fish and shrimps to play with the goldfish. .But the goldfish is old, and its golden tail is dull in color, like cotton cloth that has been washed or improperly bleached, and has lost its transparent luster, and even shows obvious old brown spots.No matter how the little fish and shrimp tease it, it is not interested in talking to it anymore.

Arakawa sometimes wondered if it was going to leave.

Today Arakawa was able to get off work early, he was very happy.He bought vegetables, made supper himself, and brought the vegetables to the fish tank.He sprinkled a handful of fish feed on the goldfish, and sat in front of the fish tank, eating with the goldfish.

"I'm not here today, how are you doing?"

The goldfish vomited a few bubbles.

Arakawa ate with a fork in one hand, picked up the phone on the table with the other, and clicked on the message icon.

"I got the blue belt!"

"Graduation today! How are you? How are you doing?"

"Today is my first day at work! I'm finally an official chef! How are you? Why don't you reply to my message?"

"I resigned, I am going to work in Ping An World, and I will come to you when the time comes!"

"I'm in Ping An World, where are you? I'm here to find you!"

"Have you seen my message?"

"Where are you?"

"what happened to you?"

All the messages fell into the sea, and no one replied.No one answered the phone calls.

This number was given to Arakawa by a young boy many years ago.That goldfish was also given to Arakawa by him.

Arakawa went to the company the next day and heard rumors that Boya asked him not to make supper anymore, not because he was too busy at work, but because someone sent a letter to the president's suggestion box, complaining that his supper was unpalatable! (Brother Tiaotiao reminds you, watch Chapter 8 to find clues to identify the suspect~)

When Arakawa came out of Boya's office, he met the Two-faced Buddha who was passing by eating a cornbread.

"What's wrong? Not happy?"

Arakawa said indignantly: "Someone actually complained that the supper I made was unpalatable! What I make is my best and proudest Stargazing Pie!"

Two-faced Buddha's inner OS: I don't know how to answer your words.

Arakawa's expression was a little dark, he lowered his head and said softly: "He likes to eat and look up at the starry sky..."

"Who?" Who the hell has such a strong taste!

"It's okay... what are you eating?" Arakawa asked casually.

The Two-Faced Buddha hurriedly hid the cornbread behind his back, and said falteringly: "This is... the cornbread. You know, I was born as a migrant worker, so this is the only one I can eat. I don't think the food you cook is unpalatable..."

"Give me some."

The Two-faced Buddha reluctantly tore a piece and handed it to Arakawa.

"Well, it's delicious, where did you buy it?" Arakawa stared.

"Ching Ming's cafeteria." Two-faced Buddha, who has become a revolutionary comrade in arms with Hei Qingming, often goes to the cafeteria of Kaibozhu to eat.

Arakawa gave a report to Boya when he turned around, saying that he would go to Seimei's cafeteria to study and communicate.

Boya felt that sending Arakawa in the past would be conducive to the marriage between the bosses of the two companies, and in this way, he could also call Qingming to talk about their relationship in a logical manner. .Boya slapped the table and readily agreed.

"President, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in cultural exchanges between Europe and Africa. Not only will I learn advanced technology from African companies, but I will also do a good job in cultural export and bring my European cooking technology to Africa!"

"No, no, no, you just study hard with them, and you don't need to output output." If Qingming is ruined by this, Boya will feel distressed when he thinks about it—well, what he means is that if the boss of the partner is sick , will affect the promotion of cooperation projects.

In order to learn art better, Arakawa decided to live in the staff dormitory of Seimei Company.Arakawa carried his Simmons eiderdown quilt on his back, hugged a large European court-style tassel pillow in one hand, and held his goldfish bowl in the other, and drove into Seimei's company in a mighty manner.

Canteen master Fu Haifangzhu, along with pastry chef and rice cake maker Dachu Shantong, garlic mashing expert Kamaitachi, vegetarian dish master lantern monk, one-eyed monk, and cut and matcher Inugami greeted him at the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Hello, hello!" Kaifangzhu enthusiastically stretched out his hand to shake hands with Arakawa, but found that Arakawa was holding the fish tank and couldn't free his hand at all.

"Oh, this fish looks so good! Is it an ingredient?" Kaifangzhu thought that European cuisine is really high-end, even the ingredients are so high-quality.

"This is my pet fish. I brought it because no one is helping to take care of it. I wonder if there is a place where I can store it?"

"Yes, yes! The financial office can store it!" Kai Fangzhu turned his head and stopped the accountant Iron Mouse who happened to be passing by, "Iron mouse! Put this fish in your financial office!"

Iron Mouse tried to take the fish tank from Arakawa, but Arakawa held the fish tank tightly: "Do you know how to raise fish?"

"will not."

Arakawa raised his head and glared at Iron Mouse.

"But our chief financial officer will take care of it."

Arakawa let go.

"Mr. Arakawa, why don't you show your skills first!" Kaifangzhu said with a smile, "We also want to see how European cuisine is made."

The three Kamaitachi brothers echoed: "Yes, yes! We have never eaten European cuisine!" "Most people in our company have never eaten!" "How about calling everyone to the cafeteria to try it! "

Arakawa felt that he had found a confidant, and said excitedly: "Then I will make my best Stargazing Pie for everyone!"

Then, Kaibozu watched Arakawa inserting salted fish into the pastry, his eyes were tearful, his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed due to the strong smell of salted fish.Arakawa took out the sliced ​​pie, and Umibozu wanted to say - "Save the child!" But he found that his throat was dry and he couldn't make a sound.

Why!What did our industrious African working people do wrong!To be invaded by capitalist powers in such a cruel way!

The employees who stayed in the cafeteria and didn't know anything about it didn't know the danger was coming. They were full of expectations and thought that they would be able to taste the food from Europe soon.

They pick up the pie and take a bite.

It melts in the mouth, leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth, and the taste will be unforgettable for the rest of your life.

Someone once said that looking up at the starry sky made by Arakawa is delicious.

When Arakawa first met him, he was still young.Together with his parents, he lives in a small bungalow with a garden in Europe. There is a lake behind the villa.

One day, Mom and Dad brought a boy.

"Arakawa, this is the big brother who came to study with us, you should get along well in the future!"

Arakawa huddled in the corner, hugging his knees, curled up, without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, this child was brought up by his grandfather. A few days ago, his grandfather passed away, and he has been in a bad mood."

The boy walked up to Arakawa and knelt down, stretched out his hand and touched his head, and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

Arakawa raised his eyes and looked at him—it was a young and handsome boy with long light gray hair and a bright yellow silky satin dress that was well-cut.

"Arakawa." Arakawa said lightly.

"My name is Shou." The boy smiled warmly, like a ray of sunshine, piercing into Arakawa's dark and closed heart.

Ah Shou took Arakawa to go fishing by the lake, Arakawa sat quietly by the lake for a whole day, he watched the fiery red and round sun rise slowly from the other end of the lake, and the orange light danced on the surface of the lake On, sparkling.

"In the past, my grandfather also took me fishing." Arakawa said suddenly.

"Oh, really?" Ah Shou smiled.

"But he is dead, Ah Shou, he is dead, and he can no longer accompany me to fish. He told me before that when I become a chef, I will eat the fish I cook every day."

Ah Shou smiled. He held the fishing rod in one hand, touched Arakawa's head with the other, and said, "Your grandfather is not dead. He discovered that there is a bigger lake in the sky. There are better fish there. He went fishing there." gone."

"Then why didn't he take me there?"

"Because all the fish in the sky are very big, and the biggest one is thousands of miles away. If the whole village kills one, it will be enough to eat for half a year. You are too small to lift such a big fish. When you grow up and are strong enough, you can If you help grandpa fish, he will naturally come to pick you up."

"But he never told me, I'm so lonely by myself."

"So he is worried about you, so let me accompany you."

"Then will you stay with me all the time?" Arakawa looked at Ah Shou.The orange-red sunset shone on his face, pulsating with youthful vigor.

"Yes."

Arakawa jumped up happily and waved his fist towards the sunset: "Shou! Believe it or not! I am the man who is going to be the salted fish king!"

"I believe it... Ouch, the fish are coming!"

The employees of the African company all feel that Arakawa's purple fur scarf is a symbol of wealth.

"Probably so." Every time when someone mentioned it, Arakawa always pulled the scarf lightly and said calmly.

After grandpa passed away, A Shou was the one who took care of Arakawa most of the time.Arakawa liked him very much, and on their days off, they would hold hands and go to the aquarium to watch the fish, or sit by the lake all day until the sun went down.

Arakawa's kindergarten held a sports meeting. Aju and Arakawa sat at the table and worked hard all night. Aju made a lot of small flags, and Arakawa drew clumsy and childish patterns on them.

The first time Arakawa did Stargazing was together with Ah Shou, Arakawa almost blew up the kitchen before making the first Stargazing.He was carrying a plate of stargazing pie, with a dark face, and walked up to Ah Shou.Ah Shou said: "It's delicious! It's delicious!" Arakawa was very happy, and he still remembers that feeling at that time.

Ah Shou majored in finance, and usually had a lot of classes. When he and his parents were away, Arakawa had to go to kindergarten.

One day, Ah Shou and Arakawa's parents waited at the door of their house for a long time, but the school bus hadn't brought Arakawa yet.As a result, the kindergarten teacher hurriedly called: "Arakawa fell into the water!"

"Today our kindergarten organized a trip to Ocean Park. This child was so excited when he saw the dolphins, he jumped into the big pool with a plop!"

Arakawa suffered from the cold in the big pond, drank several mouthfuls of water, and was hospitalized for half a month.A Shoutian took care of him incomprehensibly, feeding, bathing, excrement and urinating, with dark circles under his eyes as ugly as a girl in time.

"Ah Shou, don't be too tired, don't you still have to go to class." Arakawa's parents advised him.

Ash smiled and waved his hand.He said in his heart that I killed him.

After Arakawa was discharged from the hospital, his health has not been very good. Ah Shou took 30 gold coins and bought the most expensive fur scarf from the Champs-Elysées boutique.

"Ah, so ugly." Arakawa said.He was too young at the time, and didn't know how to describe this weird color, but he later found out that it was the legendary gay purple.

"Don't make trouble, this thing keeps warm." A Shou said, and wrapped the fur scarf around Arakawa, and he pressed a circle around Arakawa's neck to ensure that there was no air leakage.

"It will cost a lot of money." The bourgeois boy Arakawa has a very strong view of money.

"It's okay, I have money."

But not long after that, Ah Shou left. Before he left, he gave his pet goldfish to Arakawa.

"This is my baby, you have to take good care of it and take it with you wherever you go." Ah Shou knelt down and patted Arakawa's head.

Arakawa was crying. He held the small fish tank in one hand and wiped his face with the other: "Are you really going?"

"Well, I'm leaving."

"Are you going to go fishing in the big lake in the sky?"

Ah Shou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, yes, so, I let Xiaoyu accompany you. Arakawa, you are an older child, you want to take care of this little fish, understand?"

"When I become stronger, you will come to pick me up."

However, now that Arakawa has grown up, that person still hasn't come to pick him up.

Arakawa studied art at Seimei Company for half a month, and all the shikigami in the company respected him.But thanks to the people in Arakawa who are smart and work hard, they get up early every day and go to the kitchen greedily. They have learned a lot in half a month, at least they can steam steamed buns.

When he came to the kitchen that day, he found that the chefs in the cafeteria were all sitting and playing with their mobile phones.

"Why don't you cook today?"

"What are you cooking for? No one will eat it." The three Kamaitachi brothers didn't stack up together today, but sat in a row, "Today is our company's anniversary. The surrounding area is waiting for the instant kill."

"Why don't you take a look, if there is anything you want to buy."

"Hey, how's your internet speed?"

"4G is turned on, but WiFi is not working. Why doesn't President Abe change to a better router?"

"He said that after this wave of sales, there will be money to exchange."

Arakawa felt bored, so he also opened the webpage and clicked on the flagship store of Abe Seimei Company.

Before Arakawa could see the products in the store clearly, he heard a chaotic "start, start". Looking back, everyone was poking their phones frantically with their heads down.

Arakawa looked at the people around him in amazement.

"Oh! It's over!"

"The three-tailed fox red limited-edition support light is gone!" Hai Fangzhu cried while holding the phone, "The regular version is gone!"

"Ahh, the orange support lights of the Phoenix fire are gone!" The three Kamaitachi brothers were also very depressed.

"The posters of the Tianxiegui Orchestra are all sold out. Now that the Internet is connected in rural areas, it is different. Rural aunts will all shop online."

Arakawa was silently swiping his phone, he lowered his head and said, "There are still a lot of things left."

"Oh, it's the surrounding areas of the company's logistics. Because I'm afraid the server will crash, I grab it in different time slots, and it's only on sale tonight. Look at this umbrella, it's from Aunt Tang Paper Umbrella Demon from the Rain Gear Management Office. And this golden umbrella The broom with a handle is a patented broom that housewives like to use, and it sells out very fast, so if you want to buy it, put it in the shopping cart."

Arakawa quickly swipe the page, suddenly, Arakawa saw something, he quickly scrolled back the page, eagerly looking for the thing that gave him a spiritual blow.

"This carp banner..."

Master Kaibo came over to take a look, and said, "This is a lucky carp flag issued by Ebisu from the Finance Department. It is said that keeping it at home will make you rich. Those business owners are waiting to grab it."

This flag is exactly the same as the one A Shou made for the Arakawa Kindergarten Games many years ago, except that it does not have the clumsy lines drawn by Arakawa with a brush.

"Tell me, who is he..." Arakawa said with a sob.

"Our head of the finance department, help you raise the goldfish!"

At this time, Iron Mouse's panicked shouts and chaotic footsteps sounded in the corridor.

"It's bad! Arakawa! Your goldfish is going to die!"

Arakawa stood up with a bang, he stood upright in a daze for a while, then stumbled and walked outside.Kaibozu and other Shikigami also stood up and tried to help him, but Arakawa threw his hand away.

"President! It's not good! Our section chief can't do it either!"

Qingming was originally sitting in the office with his legs crossed, managing the sales pages for the anniversary celebrations.

Seimei's mood is very complicated.He is very excited, because after earning this wave, he will have money to replace the company with better routers and servers, so that the system will not crash when doing activities.But he also felt a lot of pressure. After all, the company was poor and couldn't afford to hire people. The sold quantity displayed on the page had to be shipped by Qingming himself.

Not happy to think about it.

"Ah, ah, CEO! Our section chief is going to die!" Tie Shu ran in weeping.

"Ebisu?! Didn't he ask for leave these two days to go home and help Arakawa raise fish!"

"Today's anniversary shopping festival, there are a lot of bills to be done, so the section chief came back, just arrived at the office, suddenly fell down!"

Qingming was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair, kicked the door and jumped out of the office: "Could it be that he died from overwork in raising fish?!"

Qingming followed Tie Shu and stumbled all the way to the financial office.

Hold the grass!

what did i see!

Ebisu was already very weak, lying in Arakawa's arms, smiling peacefully.Arakawa hugged him, tears streaming down his face.

"Ebisu! Take a bite by yourself!" Seimei said anxiously.

"I'm sorry, CEO...it's too late...Our grandma's greatest sorrow is to save the common people, but not myself..."

Arakawa sobbed: "Why! Why did it become like this!"

"Arakawa, I'm sorry, I'm getting old...I...I'm different from you, you can live a long time, and me, I'm aging too fast...I don't want you to see me like this..."

"Shou, it doesn't matter what you look like!" Arakawa hugged Ebisu tightly - many years ago, Ebisu also hugged the young Arakawa like this, coaxing him to sleep.Now, Arakawa is already a seven-foot man, and Ebisu's figure is as small as a doll. When Arakawa holds him, he always feels empty in his arms. He is really afraid that he won't be able to hold Ah Shou this time. I really want to leave and never come back.

Yebisu smiled with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to leave quietly by myself, that fish is connected with my life, and I also want to take it away... If you only have my best in your mind How nice it looks..."

"don't want……"

"Arakawa, you must be good...you will find someone who likes to eat and look up at the starry sky..."

"I don't want... I just want you..." Arakawa cried out.

"Arakawa, I went fishing in the big lake... By the way... I can find your grandfather... When I get there, I will tell him that you are very good, you have always been good..."

Exhausted, Ebisu forced a smile and closed his eyes.

Arakawa burst into tears.

Qingming was so frightened that she was dumbfounded, and it took her a long time to react. She turned around and called, "Where is Yingcao from the infirmary! Call her here!"

"President, Yingcao has six days off and one day off, so she won't go to work today... Besides, Section Chief Ebisu... can't be rescued..."

At this time, the Peach Blossom Demon who had just returned from the announcement came in through the crack of the door: "What's wrong?"

"He's dead!" Qingming cried and fell to the ground, pounding the floor and shouting, kicking his feet wildly.

"Oh. There's no fuss about it." Peach Blossom Demon walked through the door with a wave of her hands, walked up to Ebisu, and turned around casually.Arakawa saw a green light flashing in his arms, Ebisu's chest began to heave slightly, and he gradually opened his eyes.Arakawa opened his eyes wide in surprise, tears still dripping down his face.

"Hmm." Peach Blossom Demon suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the person came back to life, Qingming stopped her tears and stood up from the ground in a hurry.

Peach Blossom Demon pouted and said, "The milk is too much."

The people present (shikigami) saw a handsome young man lying in Arakawa's arms, his long light gray hair was softly resting on Arakawa's arms, and the satin clothes on his body were dancing with golden light.

In the large fish tank on the desk, a small goldfish is wriggling its tail lively and spitting out strings of bubbles.

postscript

The goldfish is Yebisu's guardian deity, without the goldfish, Yebisu will grow old very quickly.However, at that time, Ebisu still left it to the sickly Arakawa to protect him until he came of age.

After Arakawa found out, he cried out of breath and asked Ebisu to resign and raise fish at home, so he could raise Ebisu himself.

"I can afford you!" Arakawa assured, patting his chest.

Ebisu glanced at him: "I am the God of Wealth, so poor that I only have money left."

Arakawa has been successful in his studies, and European SSRs no longer dislike his cooking.

As for looking up at the starry sky, Arakawa didn't do it either.Because Ebisu confessed to him: "It's really not delicious. I lied to you when I said it was delicious." Arakawa was so scared that he stopped immediately, he was afraid that he would accidentally eat Ebisu to death.

But two days ago, Boya talked to Arakawa and asked him not to cook too delicious dishes.

"Everyone is getting fat, you can cook salted fish with coriander for a week."

On the day of Ebisu's accident, he himself had a premonition, but he still came to the company because of the performance of the company's anniversary celebration.Originally, he wanted to leave after explaining to Tieshu, but he was old, he couldn't hold back, and fell down.

After Qingming learned about it, he awarded the title of Best Employee of the Year to Ebisu.

Although Ebisu has become younger and more handsome, Seimei, who has witnessed life and death, feels that there is a love between grandpa and grandson that lingers in his mind. When he sees Ebisu, he doesn't know whether to call him brother or grandpa.

Arakawa's culinary arts are the best, benefiting Europe.But his looking up at the starry sky left a huge shadow on Seimei Company.

Boya soon found out that after he asked Arakawa to communicate with Qingming, Qingming didn't pay much attention to him.
