My little brother and sister are so cute

"Hey?"

Shota answered the phone, wondering why Kirino would call now.

"Huh? Are you here at night?"

"What? Can't you? Your lovely sister brought her classmates to patronize your business. Shouldn't you be more enthusiastic?"

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little angry.

"No, no, didn't you make an appointment to go shopping at night?" Xiangta replied, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Even if it's shopping, it must be for eating, so it's settled."

"beep--"

"I hung up the phone talking to myself again."

Xiangta shrugged his shoulders, had no choice but to throw the phone on the table, and was just about to go downstairs to save a place for Pengya, but found that the phone vibrated again.

"Sorry, brother...it's all my fault, because I accidentally mentioned that I want to eat Chinese food, so Kirino decided to take us to Yuanzhikong to taste your craftsmanship. But my brother will be very busy tonight Right? There's no need to prepare for us anymore. I'll convince Kirino to change his mind—Aragaki Ayase."

After reading the email, Shota briefly expressed that he welcomes them to come and play, and then began to implement the final plan of the Karenokora Christmas Eve event.

"Forget it, I was going to give it to my employees after the business is over. Since Kirino and the others are coming, let's prepare in advance."

"Friend, the store manager won't make a move."

Haruhara, who was forced to leave by Shota, ran to Tomoya and complained, "He, he actually wants me to wear women's clothing!"

"Women's clothing is not very good. Miss Yoko." Tomoya put the bracelets engraved with the name of Yuan Zhikong's shop in the bag into the box, and said indifferently: "Don't be idle. If there is nothing in the lobby, help me pack gifts .”

"How can you attract customers just by giving this kind of bracelet?"

Chunyuan sat down unwillingly, imitating Peng Ye's movements and putting the customized bracelets into gift boxes.

"You can't say that." Tomoya was not as worried about today's turnover as Chunyuan was—anyway, no matter how bad it was, it would be the same as usual.

"But the western restaurant next door next door gives a lot of practical things, and the newly opened maid shop in the back street has a piano performance, and there is a big promotion for the opening, and there are many cute girls..."

"I think this bracelet is very pretty. I'll see if I can have one left and bring it home to Nagisa."

Peng also didn't care about Chunyuan's words at all, but continued talking to himself.

"Furukawa... I mean Nagisa, didn't she say she would come at night?" Chunyuan thought for a while, and then said, "Why did the store manager tell us not to rush back at night?"

"Who knows, hurry up and put on the bracelet, or you will get busy outside later, and you won't have time to sit here and chat."

"Just the two of you?"

At this moment, Shota happened to walk from the office to the lounge downstairs, saw the two people who were busy putting on the bracelets, and said, "Tomoya, I'm sorry, but if Nagisa is okay, let her come over and help put the gift box on." Right. There are not enough manpower."

"Yes, yes. But it doesn't seem to be so busy that there are not enough people. Besides, they should come after the fifth watch, right?"

Peng also said in a doubtful tone: "Today is almost the same as the weekend."

"You'll know right away. By the way, where are the bean sprouts that let you in yesterday?"

"In the freezer." Peng Ye replied, "However, what are you buying a few bags of bean sprouts for?"

"Cooking."

"Hey, fried bean sprouts?" Chunyuan suddenly thought of a dish he had eaten, and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

"Since you're looking forward to it so much, come and help."

10 minute later.

"What, what! All of these need to be slowly hollowed out with a needle?!" Chunyuan looked at the bean sprouts piled up on the table with a look of disbelief, and said, "Manager, are you joking?"

"...I don't think it's realistic, do you?" Peng Ye, who was standing by and ready to strike, said the same thing: "Besides, why does it seem like a completely meaningless thing to hollow out the inside?"

"You know, the so-called Chinese food—especially palace cuisine, is to take this meaningless thing to the extreme—even if it is just to improve the taste a little. However, for the chefs who regard the dishes as their glory and life , but never treat these things as meaningless things."

"Shop manager, you mean you are going to cook?!"

Chunyuan suddenly said: "What is it this time? What is court food?"

"Well, I originally wanted to leave it as a surprise for you after get off work. Since you are so considerate of the store and want to gain some popularity, then I might as well make it earlier."

Xiangta took out two knives and two markers of equal length from the kitchen, and said, "You two can help cut the bean sprouts to such a long length, remove the head and tail, and just throw aside the ones that are not long enough. By the way, Peng Ye, first ask Longer to bring over the meat paste I prepared."

In this way, Haruhara and Tomoya spent the whole afternoon cutting bean sprouts, while Shota sat opposite them and used a needle to pick out the inside of these bean sprouts one by one, and then mashed a little of the specially bought ham and lean meat. Pick it up bit by bit.Although in the eyes of Tomoya and Haruhara, this is almost impossible.But in Xiangta's hands, it was an extremely simple matter.In just a few seconds, a single bean sprout was processed.

In fact, this is not terrible. What is terrible is that Xiangta can sit there for two whole hours, repeating the same thing without moving.

Although Haruhara and Tomo wanted to help after cutting all the bean sprouts, but with their skills, they could only completely destroy the bean sprouts.Instead of stuffing the meat puree perfectly.Therefore, they could only silently look at Shota, who was dripping with sweat on his head, repeating the action that had been performed tens of thousands of times.

"Not yet?"

Yachiyo who passed by saw Shota still sitting there repeatedly picking bean sprouts, and said, "There are already so many."

A mountain of bean sprouts had already piled up on the table, but Shota still had no intention of stopping.

"What is that guy doing?"

Wu Geng, who had just changed his clothes and was about to start working, passed the kitchen and saw Shota repeating a movement, and asked Sato who was resting beside him strangely: "Take a needle? Embroidery?"

"Cooking."

Sato glanced at the fifth watch, and suddenly remembered that Yachiyo had said that she was good at sewing, so he suggested: "Why don't you try it too. The store manager can't do it alone, and we are really not good at this kind of delicate work." .”

Perhaps out of curiosity about Shota, Wu Geng did not reject Sato's proposal, but walked behind Shota and watched him operate stitch after stitch.

"It's the fifth watch."

After 1 minute, Xiangta came back to his senses, and said to Wu Geng behind him, "Are you here so early today?"

Although talking, Shota still didn't stop the movement of his hands.

"Do you need help?"

Wu Geng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Those mortals outside don't have this ability, it just so happens..."

"It would be the best if you can help." Xiangta didn't even finish listening to the end of the fifth watch, and interrupted directly: "There are still some tools here, you can try it first, if you find it too difficult..."

"do not underestimate me."

Wu Geng sat directly next to Xiangta, first watched Xiangta for a while, then picked up the needle and began to hollow out the bean sprouts, I have to say, compared with those thick men, they were indeed much more dexterous.She stuffed the pureed meat perfectly into the pod at one time, and just when she was about to say a few words, she saw that the finished product made by Shota was almost perfectly cylindrical inside.And what I did was obviously a little irregular.

So, she threw the bean sprouts aside, picked up a new one, and tried again.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled."

Xiangta noticed from the corner of his eye that Wu Geng learned the trick very quickly, so he said with a little surprise: "Do you often do needlework at home?"

"Yeah." After all, Wu Geng is not as proficient as Xiangta, and she can use two things at once. She slowed down the movements of her hands and said, "I usually make clothes and the like."

"Hey... There are very few girls who are willing to learn from female celebrities now."

While doing things, Xiangta said: "Like my family, I guess I can't even hold a needle firmly."

"That guy can't appreciate the sense of accomplishment of completing handmade products at all."

Wu Geng, who found out that he was superior to Kirino, said with a little pride: "There are some things that are only valuable if you make them yourself."

"Well, it is said that the highest level of otaku is from spending money to buy finished products to making things by yourself. It is indeed the fifth watch."

"Please call me Black Cat."

"It's working time now, so we should use this title when we have parties."

"...Then can you please tell me, what is the use of making these things? Or, what kind of dishes are you cooking? Manager~ my lord~?"

"Even if I don't use that tone of voice, I'll tell you. It's a relatively complicated dish. If it's specific, you'll be able to see it at night."

While the two were chatting, the number of unfinished bean sprouts disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.In less than half an hour, all the preliminary preparations have been completed.

"I always feel that if you go to learn Chinese food at Wu Geng, you will definitely achieve something. I mean cold dishes."

"Do you want me to learn how to carve patterns on tofu?"

"I can teach you if you want to learn."

"No need. But I think if you can sculpt a figure, it will definitely become a hot topic."

"...It's a bit difficult, but you did a great job today. There are too few girls as capable as you now, and she will definitely be a good wife in the future. Well, I will give you a bonus tonight!"

"I won't mention this for now, you can look there first and then talk about it."

Wu Geng pointed to the position of the door, where Kirino was standing there with her two classmates - Ayase and the petite girl called Kanako.

"Yo, Kirino's perverted brother!"

Sure enough, this petite girl is really hard to like.

"Kirino, and Ayase, when did you arrive?"

Shota was a little confused that his sister had come so early, and he didn't even pay attention to the somewhat...discomfort expressions on their faces.

"It's been since you were chatting happily with that cat there. What? Did you just notice my existence now?"

Tong Nai snorted and turned his head away.

And it was rare for Ayase not to speak well of Shota.

"Sorry, I was too involved in doing things just now."

"Alas, it seems that someone is not happy about his brother sitting next to other girls?"

After Xiangtai heard Wu Geng's words, he still didn't quite understand what the so-called girl was thinking, so he could only say: "Just now, I was preparing a special gift for the store with Wu Geng just now. Of course, there are also your parts."

Wait, why am I explaining this stuff to my sister and my sister's classmates?

"A present?"

Ayase seemed to have reacted just now, took out a gift box from her handbag, handed it to Shota and said, "This is a Christmas present for my brother, I hope you like it."

"Thank you so much." Xiang Taiman happily took the first gift of this year, feeling a little heavy: "Can I open it?"

"of course can."

Ayase nodded expressionlessly.

"..."

Open the gift box, inside is a sharp black kitchen knife.

"I hope you can make good use of this kitchen knife, brother."

"Well, Ayase, can you stop talking in such a calm voice... it's a little scary."

"Hey, Kirino's perverted brother, did you do something to apologize to Ayase? You will definitely die, absolutely!"

"I think should not be?"
