Chapter 451 Dating (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)
The weather in Tokyo seems to be repeating itself recently, with violent storms raging all night, then quietly stopping, and then ushering in a refreshing sunny day.
Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi got up early today, because Lu Mingfei promised Eli Yi that if it didn't rain today, he would accompany her to visit Sensoji Temple. As a result, the weather was great today, and the entrance to Sensoji Temple was crowded early in the morning.
Couples gathered at the entrance of Kaminarimon Gate to check in and take photos. Some of them refused to move forward until they took satisfactory photos under the red lantern. Lu Mingfei and Eriyi did not join in the fun and simply visited Kaminarimon Gate. After the gate, he bypassed the crowd and left.
Just after Lu Mingfei and the others left, a group of people came to the main entrance of Sensoji Temple behind them.
"Ouch, this door is so open, and these red lanterns are so festive. You're already here, why don't you take a photo before leaving?" Auntie greeted, "I see that couples are standing at the door to take photos, Naruzawa Jiaka, you two Hurry up and go, the camera I brought will finally come in handy!"
Uncle and Director Chen didn't care whether they took pictures or not. The middle-aged men's eyes were focused on the passing luxury cars, such as Ferrari, McLaren, Koenigsegg... Director Chen took the lead in talking loudly, and Uncle also followed suit. Following him, the two of them couldn't wait to show off all their knowledge of luxury cars in their lives, as if they had become professional car reviewers.
Jiajia's mother stood aside with her hands folded on her chest. She was not as keen on bringing the two children together as her aunt, but she did not object to taking photos or anything. Anyway, it was not easy to go out and have fun, so it was good to commemorate her children at a famous scenic spot. Life experience.
"Hey, both of you stand back and stand under that big red lantern. It has a good meaning and the photos taken will look good." Auntie pointed to Jiangshan, "Mingze, why are you and Jiajia so far away? Come closer!" Otherwise, I won’t be able to capture you in a single shot! Smile, be more expressive, don’t look like a bitter melon, and learn how the couple standing here just now was photographed. Narusawa, you are a boy. Boys should take the initiative. , don’t be so shy like a girl!”
Lu Mingze cooperated reluctantly, like a salted fish on the cutting board. After some guidance from his aunt, Lu Mingze was finally released and began to run wildly towards the dessert shop in Sensoji Temple. His aunt also took the photo. Satisfied with the photos, they happily walked and viewed them. Uncle and Director Chen, two heartless men, turned their attention from the luxury cars to the leather shoes of the tourists. Jiajia's mother pulled Jiajia and walked at the end of the crowd. , she said to Jiajia sincerely that actually when taking pictures, you don’t have to listen to Lu Mingze, his mother, and that Lu Mingze are so close, girls still have to be reserved, Jiajia nodded obediently.
Lu Mingfei took Eliyi and wandered around Zhongmianshi Commercial Street. On both sides of the street were two stores, "Zhouhe" and "Asian Strawberry Seat". Lu Mingfei searched for guides before coming here. "Zhouhe" " is a dessert shop that has been established for more than a hundred years. Its desserts and tea are quite famous throughout Taitung District. "Qian Strawberry Seat" is a strawberry Daifuku specialty store. They use strawberries that have won awards. Huge and full.
It is worth mentioning that when buying Shuixinxuan cakes and brown rice tea at "Funhe", Lu Mingfei specially gave the money to Eriyi for payment. When he wanted Eriyi to experience the pleasure of shopping, Eriyi gesticulated hurriedly. The shopping guide couldn't help but call her kawaii when she was looking for change. When checking out, she stuffed a mini tea bag into the dessert bag handed to Eri Yi, saying that seeing such a cute girl like Eri Yi made her day. My mood has improved, please be sure to accept the small gift Eriyi.
Later, when buying a strawberry daifuku at the "Asian Strawberry Seat", Eri wrote "Please give me the two best strawberry daifuku today" in a small book, and then showed the small book to the pastry chef. The pastry chef was surprised by the other The guests all spoke casually, but this girl actually wrote in Chinese. He seemed to be touched by the sincerity of this beautiful girl, so he picked two of the largest and plump strawberry daifuku on the spot, and sprinkled it with double the amount of coconut powder. Finally, it was decorated in an exquisite way and held in both hands for Eri.
Things like this happened many times in tourist souvenir shops, folk handicraft shops, jewelry shops and snack bars. For example, Eriyi was given a small cartoon hairpin by the clerk when buying earrings, senbei was given as a gift when buying Ningyoyaki, and when choosing a souvenir card The merchant made an exception and upgraded it to a collector's edition...
Although they are gifts or preferential treatments that are light on courtesy and heavy on affection, everything today was completely without the intervention and arrangements of Lu Mingze and Mai Shutoku. All these small surprises and small gifts were earned through the charm of Eri Yi. Come... This made Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh that beautiful girls are good luck. As long as you are cute and well-behaved, the whole world will like you and treat you well.
"Mom, this dessert shop said they have a history of more than a hundred years, so their desserts must be delicious!" Lu Mingze pointed at the "Zhouhe" dessert shop, and he almost cried out.
"Oh, he said a hundred years is really only a hundred years. Then I also said that my ancestors have been master chefs for a thousand years! Who can't find gimmicks and shout slogans these days? Those empty words can count Well?" My aunt asked earnestly from the perspective of someone who has been there, "Are there not many shops over there that are so pretentious and deceptive? You won't be deceived at home, so why are you so careless when you go abroad?"
"But it looks really delicious." Lu Mingze had an idea and brought out his trump card, "Then maybe Jiajia wants to eat it too?"
Sure enough, when it came to Jiajia, her aunt couldn't calmly preach. She listened to Jiajia's narration, pointed to the "Zhoushan" dessert shop, and asked Jiajia: "Jiajia, I heard that that dessert shop has... It has a history of hundreds of years and is an old craft. Do you want to try their desserts? Auntie asked Narusawa to buy you two."
"Is it true that a hundred years is really a hundred years? These Japanese businesses use the same trick to deceive people. Narusawa, you have to be more discerning." Jiajia's mother suddenly said, "I think another On the other hand, this store called 'Shallow Strawberry Seat' is pretty good, and the slogan at the front of the store is much more down-to-earth than that 'Zhoushan' one. Jia Jia just said she wanted to try their strawberry-flavored Dafu, right?"
"I'm about to take Jiajia to buy some strawberry-flavored daifuku. Does Narusawa want to eat it? Do you want to bring one to your family?" Jiajia's mother asked "casually".
"Oh, that's just right. Narusawa also mentioned just now that he wants to eat strawberry-flavored daifuku cakes. The tastes of the two children are so consistent! In fact, I said it is the most rare thing to be able to share the same taste. The two of them will definitely not do it in the future. Are you having a conflict over what to eat?" Auntie clapped her hands and said, "Why bother you to buy it? Just let Narusawa do it. It just so happened that Narusawa learned a few words of Japanese when he was in the hotel these two days. I'm afraid that we might have trouble asking for directions or communicating while shopping in Japan these days. Children are actually very sensible in private, so I can just leave the shopping to Narusawa."
In fact, Lu Mingze's original intention of learning Japanese was to make two Japanese netizens, because he heard that girls in Japan are very precocious. If they can chat well, they might be able to secretly meet before leaving Japan. Lu Mingze's In my heart, I still hope to leave behind an unforgettable cross-border love, which will be as unforgettable as the original "sunset mark".
"I didn't expect that this child Mingze works so hard, so I'm sorry to trouble your Mingze." Jiajia's mother smiled lightly.
"What's so embarrassing about this? Why do our two families keep seeing each other like this?" Auntie said and returned to Lu Mingze, took out two thousand-yen bills from her wallet, stuffed them into Lu Mingze's hand, and whispered, "Jiajia wants to eat the strawberry daifuku from the 'Light Strawberry Seat' across the street. Go buy two strawberry-flavored daifuku cakes, one for Jiajia."
"What's so delicious about the strawberry Daifuku cake? They are sold everywhere, and girls only like to eat that kind of thing," Lu Mingze complained, "I want to eat the Shuixinxuan cake on the other side, which can only be found in Japan. It’s only sold here. The Shuixinxuan cake has a soft and glutinous texture and is definitely better than the strawberry daifuku.”
In fact, when Lu Mingze was participating in a social gathering, the girls who had been to Japan suddenly discussed at the dinner table of a Japanese food restaurant how soft and waxy the Shuixinxuan cake tasted. The Shuixinxuan cake made with agar-agar was like a transparent crystal ball, and there was also... The cherry blossom petals were put in and they melted in the mouth. The boy who had been to Japan joined the girls' discussion and the conversation was lively. But that time, Lu Mingze could only stare from the side because he didn't know how to eat Shuixinxuan cake. What did it taste like? He didn't even know what Shuixinxuan cake was. Lu Mingze thought that after finally coming to Japan this time, he had to at least taste Shuixinxuan cake once before knowing the taste, so that there would be girls to talk to at the next class reunion. Only when this topic comes up can he have the right to speak.
"Are you considering which one is more delicious now? Narusawa, did you hear clearly? It's Jiajia who wants to eat the strawberry daifuku cake." Auntie said earnestly, "Do you still remember how I taught you? In such a trivial matter, Above, boys should be humble to girls and try to follow what girls want. Only in this way can others think that you are a well-educated and gentleman boy. We will buy Shuixinxuan cake when we have the opportunity. This time, we will give Jiajia Eight Strawberry Dafu first. I bought it to leave a good impression on others..."
Lu Mingze couldn't resist his mother's endless nagging. He took two Japanese yen bills from his aunt's hands and ran to the shallow end in despair. Strawberry seats line up to buy strawberry daifuku.
In the end, Lu Mingze took over two strawberry daifuku that were ordinary in size and appearance from the pastry chef, and said, "Child, you'd better eat less sweets with a body like yours, otherwise be careful that all the strawberries are flowing in your veins." When the little fat man was given the advice of "juice and sweet cream", the little fat man's heart collapsed.
Lu Mingfei and Eriyi followed the flow of people and passed through the second gate of Sensoji Temple, the Treasure Gate, and came to the inner level of the temple. To their left was the regular Treasure Temple, and directly in front was the magnificent Sensoji Five-story Pagoda. Each building is painted with vermilion primer to outline the main body. The cornices and columns have been maintained and refurbished while maintaining a sense of age. The shiny new paint reflects a reddish brilliance in the sunlight.
The crowded crowd automatically dispersed in front, surrounding a large open space. It turned out that there was a large enamel incense burner and a small pavilion used for drawing lots in the open space of the temple in front. Both incense and drawing lots were 100 yen each. Visitors who come here to pray for blessings can take the lottery with them when they get a good one. If they get a bad one, they can take it away and find an expert to change it, or they can leave a sum of money and give it to Sensoji Temple for help. , in addition to drawing lots, there are many royal guards around for sale praying for studies, transportation or safety and health.
Lu Mingfei saw Eriyi staring at the incense burner and the lottery tube with an eager expression. He took out a few prepared coins from his pocket and handed them to Eriyi. He smiled at Eriyi and said if he wanted to try If you want to try, you can buy a few sticks of incense and then try your luck by asking for a fortune. When you buy incense, remember to recite the wish you want to realize three times in your mind, but remember that the wish should not be too difficult, because there may be someone whose performance this year does not meet the target. The gods heard it and helped make it happen.
Eriyi nodded and happily took the coins to ask for incense and sign. At this time, a monk wearing the monk's uniform of Sensoji Temple came over, put his hands together and gave Lu Mingfei a deep bow, and then said to Lu Mingfei bluntly: " The donor’s girlfriend is really real.”
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the bald Japanese monk. He thought this monk was quite interesting, so he started chatting: "What, you are a monk, could it be possible that you have fallen in love with my girlfriend?"
"It's a sin, it's a sin, the donor must not harm the poor monk's Taoist heart!" The Japanese monk shook his head slowly, with the aura of an enlightened monk, "Although the donor's girlfriend is beautiful, in the eyes of equals, she is not the same as thousands of mortals. It’s nothing different, the poor monk is here to discuss things with the benefactor, your girlfriend is just an opportunity.”
"Oh, don't buy, don't listen, don't beg." Lu Mingfei waved his hand to the monk, "I have nothing to ask of the Buddha or Bodhisattva. If you want to do sales, go look for European tourists with blond hair and blue eyes. We Chinese tourists are not easily fooled.”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood." The monk shook his head quickly, "I don't sell anything, nor do I promote it. I really came here because I saw that the donor was destined..."
"Speak humanly." Lu Mingfei said coldly, clasping his hands on his chest.
"Okay, okay, then I'll tell the truth." The monk said seriously, "To be honest, I am learning from my master the magical power of observing luck and qi. From afar, I noticed you, donor, your luck. You are so unique among the tourists that it is difficult not to notice you, so I used your girlfriend as an opening to strike up a conversation with you."
"Why, am I too bad? That you fell in love with me at a glance among so many tourists? That's why you came to me specially because you also learned a magical skill from your master to dispel bad luck and bad luck. Isn't that right?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "The deception you Japanese monks are doing is too low-level. If my IQ is reduced by 80%, I might not believe you."
