After more than a month of observation after moving into the Trial Guard Hall, Qingdeng had a certain understanding of his master's wife Abi's character.

In a nutshell - she is a very strong and aggressive mistress of the sword hall.

He is a bit serious about words and smiles. If you think about it carefully, Qingdeng has lived in the Trial Guard Hall for such a long time, and the number of times he has seen Abi smile happily does not seem to be more than 10 times.

I forget exactly when, but Qingto heard a little about Abi's past from Okita.

Ah Bi came from a well-off martial arts family, and she could be considered a eldest lady. Her strong character may have been contributed to by her family background.

With an excellent background, A Bi received an excellent education since he was a child.

In terms of knowledge alone, Abi, who had read poetry and books since childhood, was naturally higher than Zhouzhu, who was just a martial artist and could not even recognize Chinese characters.

Therefore, after the completion of the imperial examination hall, Abi was responsible for all the financial work in the hall.

Zhou Zhu was in charge of the operation of the sword hall, while Abi was in charge of the purse of the sword hall, and also in charge of the food, drink and sleeping habits of their extended family. The couple had a clear division of labor.

Therefore, as long as we know what kind of work A Bi is responsible for in the trial clinic on weekdays, it is not difficult to understand why A Bi has become so gentle in the past few days after seeing the "turnover" of the trial clinic rising.

Already.

"Ah, by the way, speaking of aunt... Tachibana-kun, I have to tell you this quickly." Okita suddenly said, "Master, aunt, and brother Kondo just went out, and it will be around four o'clock in the evening (evening)

They won't be back until 8 o'clock."

"Master, are they going out?" A hint of confusion appeared on Qingdeng's cheeks, "What are they doing out at this time?"

"It's nothing." Okita replied, "This morning, one of Master's and his relatives who lives in the northern suburbs of Edo accidentally broke his leg, so Master and the others went to visit their relative."

"It turns out I'm going to visit relatives. They won't be back until 4 o'clock in the evening...that means I, you, Saito and Kyuubei will have to figure it out for tonight's dinner."

After Okita nodded vigorously, he said excitedly: "Tachibana-kun, why don't we stop cooking at home tonight and go out to eat soba noodles?"

"Hmm? Okita-kun, do you want to go out to eat?"

"Yes!" Okita nodded vigorously again, "I haven't eaten soba noodles for a long time, and I want to try it after a long time. What do you think, Tachibana-kun?"

"Soba noodles..."

——Speaking of which, I haven’t eaten noodles in a long time...

Qingden, who remembered that he had not tasted noodles for a while, only thought for a moment and nodded slightly:

"I'm OK."

…

…

Aoto asked Kyubei and Saito for their opinions.

Kubei, an old and loyal servant of the Tachibana family, said without hesitation: No matter what he went to eat, he had no objection, as long as he didn't go to dangerous areas with poor security.

Not to mention Saito.

No matter Qingdeng asked him what he wanted to eat, what he wanted to eat, or whether he wanted to go somewhere to eat with him... this man would just reply with a blank expression: "I'm free to do it."

Since it was unanimously approved, it is time to go without further ado - Qingden and the other four closed the trial defense hall and strode towards a certain noodle restaurant not far from the trial defense hall, which Okita heard someone say was very delicious.

.

It happens to be dinner time now.

After opening the door curtain with a big word "面" written on it and entering the noodle shop, the aroma of sauce, the smell of people's sweat, the sound of noodles being cooked, the sound of chatting...these smells and sounds made up a surging atmosphere.

The "waves" hit Qingdeng and others one after another.

"Welcome!" A young girl wearing an apron around her waist and dressed as a hand-dresser brought a bowl of noodles she was holding to the table of a customer beside her, while using a heavy Kyoto

He warmly greeted Qingdeng and others with his accent.

"Four people!" Okita raised four fingers to Teyo, "Is there any room left?"

"Yes, yes! Please come with me!"

Tedai led Qingnobo and others to an empty table in a corner of the noodle shop that could seat six people.

After everyone sat down around the empty dining table, Qingdeng raised his eyes and looked at the menu hanging on the wall nearby.

Although this noodle shop is not big, it has quite a variety of dishes.

Clear soup soba, 16 fen. Miso soba, 18 fen. Tempura buckwheat, 32 fen... Aomori quickly scanned the names of the dishes on the menu one by one.

This menu is very carefully written.

Some noodles also have a line of small characters written at the back to mark the characteristics of this noodle.

For example - miso soba noodles are followed by the phrase "the sauce is more generous".

Qingden has always had a strong taste in food, and he likes dishes full of salt and soy sauce.

Therefore, he ordered a miso soba without hesitation.

Saito also had no hesitation in ordering.

Saito didn't even look at the menu, so he just opened his mouth and ordered the most common, and also the cheapest, clear soup soba noodles for 16 Wen.

After looking at the menu for a few times, Kyubei ordered the cheapest soba noodles in clear soup.

After everyone else had ordered the noodles they wanted to eat, Okita, who had been scanning the menu just now, turned his head and asked the hand beside him:

“Can I order miso soba with tempura?”

"Of course!" Tedai smiled enthusiastically, "You can tell us what kind of noodles you want!"

"Then how much does it cost to add two more strips of tempura to miso soba?"

Okita and Tedai discussed his "customized soba" in detail.

Waiting is also waiting. While waiting for Okita to order his noodles, in order to pass this short period of free time, Qingto opened the system interface that he had not opened and examined in detail for some time——

【Name: Tachibana Aoden】(?)

[Talents currently possessed:]

[Night vision, sword genius, god of sleep, lone brave, eagle eye, left-handed, strong body, skillful hands, strong tongue, iron waist, steel bones, strong muscles, cat turns around, photographic memory]

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qingdeng’s current system interface is finally no longer the “bleak” look it had when he first traveled through time.

He now has a total of 14 talents, and these 14 talents are extremely practical.

Qingdeng's eyes turned to the end of the "Talent List". Looking at the three talents of "Strong Muscles", "Cat Turn", and "Photographic Memory" that he had copied from the game a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel...

I secretly sighed in my heart:

——These three new talents are really more perverted than the last...

"Strengthening muscles" that makes muscles less likely to fatigue... This talent is so useful that I don't need to go into details.

The "cat turn" copied from Sanako has an effect of "excellent body balance".

This talent may not seem to be of much use at first glance, but in reality it is of great use.

How to fall down when fighting someone is a science.

There is a skill in fighting skills that teaches you how to fall: receiving the body.

In a nutshell, when you are attacked by an opponent and lose your center of gravity and are about to fall to the ground, you use inertia to adjust your posture to reduce the impact, so as not to be injured on rocks or bumpy ground, and to quickly recover your posture.

.

If you have a good sense of balance, it means that you will not easily lose your balance when fighting with others, and if you accidentally lose your balance, you can quickly adjust your center of gravity and complete the body.

Having an excellent sense of balance will give you an advantage in battle.

As for the final "photographic memory"...not to mention that.

Extremely strong memory—this should be considered one of the most coveted talents for most people in this world.

In his previous life, when Qingdeng was still in school, he had coveted this kind of "photographic memory" talent countless times. As long as he had extraordinary memory ability, he could cope with school exams or learn other talents.

Get twice the result with half the effort.

And now - Qingdeng's fantasy has come true.

That Shannan actually has such a god-level talent... Qingdeng was not too surprised by this. After all, Shannan looked like the kind of educated person who had strong learning ability and was good at reading.

After Aonto took a rough look at his increasingly "growing" talent list, Okita finally finished customizing his "exclusive noodles" with his hand.

"The two people sitting next to us are so noisy..." After Teyo returned to the kitchen with the paper with the noodles ordered by Qingto and the others, Okita smiled bitterly, lowered his voice, and turned to the seat.

Qingdeng beside him whispered, "Chirping..."

Qingto smiled helplessly, then nodded, using his movements to express his agreement with what Okita had just said.

Sitting at the table next to Qingto and others were two middle-aged samurai with swords on their waists.

The noodles placed on their table had all been wiped clean by them, and their cheeks were glowing red due to drinking some wine.

Throughout the ages, no matter what era or country, there are three major topics that have always been men's favorites: military, politics, and women.

These two middle-aged men were chatting very passionately about one of the three major topics: politics.

Although they controlled the volume of their chat, probably because they lost control of their bodies due to being drunk, the sound of their conversation still disturbed Qingdeng and others.
