My daily life of exorcising demons and falling in love with a witch.

Chapter 29: Carbohydrates with Carbohydrates with Carbohydrates

According to Yi Xing, the restaurant bears no responsibility; the customer is simply being unreasonable.

However, the court ruled that the restaurant was liable and had to pay compensation.

This set a very bad precedent, and several more restaurants were subsequently sued as a result, only able to pay money to avoid further trouble.

As a result, the industry gradually became less willing to offer package deals. The implied meaning is that they are afraid of taking responsibility and being targeted by scammers.

In reality, most restaurants will still reluctantly agree to take your food to go if you insist on it, but they will ask you to sign a waiver, which is quite troublesome.

However, this shop is the kind that is quite stubborn.

No matter what, they refused to budge and were determined to refuse to take the food away.

This is actually quite unusual, because shops that completely refuse to take away food usually sell raw seafood and other foods that are very easy to spoil.

Hot food like ramen doesn't spoil easily.

Therefore, it's really hard to understand why they refused to pack it up.

Yixing believes the real reason is probably that customers taking ramen to go might affect the taste of the noodles, and he's worried that this could damage the shop's reputation.

It's truly baffling that Yixing would worry about something when it's clearly a chain store.

If this is a shop that's marketed as "the god of XX," where every dish is ridiculously expensive and every bite is pure prestige and overpriced, then refusing to take away food for this reason wouldn't be surprising.

It is precisely because it is normal to ask for takeout at a ramen shop that Erina's questioning was not considered a lack of common sense by those around her.

However, in reality, Erina really doesn't have any in this regard at all.

As for why Yixing knows so much common sense, it's because he actively talks to the people around him, searches online, and often goes shopping in the town.

On the other hand, Erina has never left her village since she was a child, and the anime and console games she is into rarely mention such things, so it is only natural that she lacks a concept of many basic common sense.

She only knew a few restaurants in the village, and she could get whatever she wanted to go. So she mistakenly thought that was the case all over Japan.

But in reality, this was just her privilege.

In fact, if she wanted, she could have the chef close his shop and cook exclusively for her at the Yoda mansion. After all, no one in that area could afford to offend the Yoda family.

This is also why Yoshiyuki felt that the Yoda family was even more extreme than the Yakuza.

In the remote mountain village, the Yoda family effectively controlled the entire village, and the laws there were not as significant as the rules promulgated by the Yoda family.

However, the Yoda family didn't use this power to oppress the villagers. On the contrary, they gave them a lot of help.

Otherwise, Erina's grandfather would not have been qualified to demand that Yoshiyuki uphold the principles of loyalty and righteousness.

At this point, Erina realized that she couldn't persuade the shopkeeper no matter what she did, so she had no choice but to give up in frustration.

Then, he knocked on the partition and complained to Yixing next door.

"Yixing, what should we do? He won't pack it up! You'll just have to make do with two bowls."

"No way, Miss..." Yoshiyuki suddenly felt a little dizzy: "I thought you could definitely finish pork bone ramen, I even ordered a super-sized set meal!"

"You'll need to exercise to aid digestion later anyway! It's not a big deal if you eat an extra big bowl!"

"I--"

"Alright, that's enough! Yixing, I believe in you!"

Erina said this with a grin, and jumped off her seat while holding the ramen.

The large bowl shook violently, making a crisp sound.

This sent a chill down Yixing's spine as he overheard everything from next door.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Yi Xing was worried about two things.

First: The young lady will spill soup on her clothes.

Then he'll have to do the laundry.

The thick broth from the pork bone ramen was already quite difficult to wash off, not to mention that the young lady was wearing a very soft and light fabric today, which made it even more difficult.

Their magic wasn't enough to cleanse such ordinary stains, so they could only increase his workload.

Second: The bowl was broken.

That would mean paying compensation and apologizing, which would be extremely awkward.

At this moment, the young lady had already brought her bowl and moved closer to Yixing.

So there was nothing Yoshiyuki could do; he knew Erina was determined not to eat it.

However, he didn't want to waste the food and threw it away.

So Yixing had no choice but to prepare himself to endure until he couldn't take it anymore, calculating how much more exercise he would need to do to burn off the extra calories, and sighing as he accepted it all.

Generally speaking, he eats ramen according to the "three cleans" principle. This is also a rule that ramen lovers have always followed.

That means they'll eat all the noodles, all the side dishes, and all the soup.

The reason for using the word "slurp" is not only because noodles are sucked into the mouth, but also because Japanese people are used to making loud noises when eating noodles made by others, as a way of proving that they are satisfied with the chef's skills, so they will keep making "slurp slurp" sounds.

Now, because of the addition of the young lady's share, Yixing is prepared to only carry out the first two tasks.

But this is already quite an achievement.

Yixing's appetite grew because he always ate the young lady's leftovers.

In his previous life, he would only eat a steamed bun with half a piece of fermented bean curd and some cold boiled water for one meal, and that would be enough to fill him up—of course, this was also closely related to the fact that Yixing had always lived in poverty as an orphan in his previous life.

Erina ordered a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen.

There's not much to say, it's just pork bone ramen, a classic.

This is a ramen with a particularly rich and salty flavor.

Yi Xing ordered the extra-large seafood soy sauce ramen set meal with rice and dumplings.

A set meal is a meal with fixed contents that cannot be changed at will. It must include rice and weigh about 250 grams.

Strictly speaking, rice should be the absolute main dish in a set meal, with only side dishes and soup, etc., and ramen shouldn't steal the spotlight. Therefore, a set meal that includes ramen shouldn't be called a set meal, but over the years no one has taken it that seriously.

The Yixing package includes the following:

1: A super-sized bowl of seafood soy sauce ramen.

The main ingredients are char siu pork, bamboo shoots, shrimp, and wakame seaweed.

2: A bowl of white rice.

3: Six pan-fried dumplings, filled with a combination of pork, cabbage, garlic, and chives.

This meal is a veritable carb bomb.

The Japanese people's obsessive love for carbohydrates is rare in the world.

After all, this is the country where congee is served over rice – although there is an element of group memeing, according to Yixing's observations while lurking on the 2CH forum, there are indeed people who really like to eat congee over rice, and the number is not small.

This ramen set meal, with its combination of a main dish, a soup-based main dish, and a stuffed main dish, initially made Yixing, a time traveler, feel quite uncomfortable. It always felt like eating a flatbread wrapped with a steamed bun. But as he ate it, he found it quite enjoyable.

It's not just because carbohydrates make people happy.

More importantly, the rich broth of ramen poured over rice or dipped in fried dumplings is so delicious it's heavenly!
