Chapter 4 Crane Soup

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 When a cheap car drives on a winding mountain road, it cannot be said that the suspension is completely absent, but the bumpy road feel is conveyed to the back seat in great detail.

——This is already a cement road.

Since Aoi Keisuke did not immediately discuss renting a car with Otomo Sawaki, Hoshino tried to maintain a balance and began to think about whether to change his car.

The trees in Daze Mountain are lush and green, and the mountain birds are chirping in the distance. They seem to have crashed into a deserted world. It is hard to imagine that a hot spring hotel would be built here.

But on the way, Qing Keisuke noticed that they also passed a shrine.

He immediately asked Sawaki the name of this shrine.

"Oh, guest, are you talking about Hachiman Shrine? This is also a shrine with a long history. It is dedicated to Hachiman Bodhisattva. Unfortunately, it is not very famous, so not many people come to worship."

"Hachiman Bodhisattva?"

Aoi Keisuke and Hoshino looked at each other in tacit understanding.

This god is also a familiar one in Neon. There are more than 400 large and small shrines in total, so it is normal for such a small shrine in the mountains not to be famous.

"Do you young people know these great gods?" Otomo Sawaki said with a smile: "Probably not? Today's young people prefer new things on the Internet."

Unfortunately, the two people sitting in the row behind him are relatively traditional.

Compared with the new wave on the Internet, I prefer physical books.

In particular, Hoshino Fujiko has a wide range of interests. Keisuke Aoi has seen her reading a book on neon theology before.

Once the hotel is settled, maybe she can be used as a reading machine.

When passing by Hachiman Shrine, Otomo Sawaki talked a lot to himself. Later, on the way to Tsuruyu, he encountered a Ksitigarbha statue, and he was able to tell some stories - some of which were from his childhood.

All in all, he is a really talkative local. When he arrived at Hetang, he had already finished a whole bottle of water in a thermos cup.

When he got off the bus, he originally wanted to help carry the luggage, but Qing Keisuke declined.

He first exchanged contact information with Otomo Sawaki, and then asked him to formally draw up a short-term rental contract and bring it over, and they decided to "hire" him.

Considering Neon's relatively strict laws, the word "employment" is not very appropriate.

Otomo Sawaki immediately became excited - he thought it was hopeless before, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Okay! I will immediately ask the female generals at Hetang for help. They have a printer here."

"Is Mr. Sawaki familiar with the owner of this hotel?" Qing Keisuke asked curiously.

"Yes, Yuzawa is so big after all."

Zeshu Dayou replied: "Besides, most of the hotel owners who work in my profession are familiar with them, but please don't worry, my prices will be fair."

"Then let's go there together."

"Okay, no problem! Let me pick up the luggage!" Otomo Sawaki came over and said, "This is also part of the service."

"No, if there is a need, we will provide it."

Qing Keisuke carried his and Hoshino's belongings alone and took the lead in walking towards Tsuruyu.

The layout of Hetang is like an upside-down character. Facing it is the largest main building with white walls and black tiles. Above the gate is a completely neon localized eaves, also called Tang Po Feng, which has the flavor of an ancient building.

Under the neatly integrated stacks and tiles, a blue silk sign with white characters written in Chinese characters hangs.

The main building has two and a half floors, and the other two small buildings attached to it are both two floors, with corridors connected to each other.

In addition to the houses, you can also vaguely see a wooden plank road for tourists to walk in the back, which connects to a large courtyard and is surrounded by thin bamboos. It is very quiet and elegant.

Surrounding the hotel, there is a small parking lot, and the vegetation is beautifully trimmed.

"President, you finally did something reliable."

What Aoi Keisuke said was that he was very satisfied with the hotel booked by Hoshino Fujiko.

Hoshino Fujiko glanced at him lightly and did not answer - as long as you are willing to spend money, you will not be disappointed in enjoyment.

"welcome!"

As soon as I entered the door, the young receptionist bowed to greet me. Her voice was clear and sweet, making people feel relaxed and happy.

She was wearing a light-colored peach pink kimono with the logo of Crane Soup embroidered on it, which was a white crane spreading its wings in the pond.

"Hey, is Momoko-chan at the front desk today?" Otomo Sawaki walked in after him.

"Ah, hello, Mr. Zeshu."

The young receptionist known as Momoko quickly said hello to the acquaintance, and then continued to respectfully introduce Keisuke Aoi and Fujiko Hoshino.

Seeing this, Zeshu opened his mouth: "Uh...this..."

"Just call me Qinggui."

"Mr. Qinggui, I'll go find the female general to draw up a contract first. I'll go over later after Tao Zi settles you down."

"good."

Sawaki Otomo asked Momoko again where the female general was, and then left quickly.

Of course, Momoko was just Tsuruyu's "stage name". She carefully peeked at Qing Keisuke's face, pretending to be professional, but there was a suppressed excitement in her expression that could not be concealed.

This is the most handsome guy I have ever seen in my life!

It's great to be a waiter at Tsuruto!

"Qing...Mr. Qinggui? You are welcome to stay at our crane soup. Please come to the front desk with me to register first."

"OK."

Although the main body of the hotel's interior is still a wooden structure, it looks more modern overall. The transparent glass on the side allows sunlight to spread throughout the lobby, making it very bright.

There are sofas and tea tables for guests to rest and chat on the side. On the iron shelf next to the door, there are local magazines and travel recommendations from Yuzawa.

On the other side is an unused wall stove, now hung with some silk paintings and handicrafts.

Since they had made a reservation in advance, the two of them went through the check-in process quickly.

Hoshino directly booked two of the highest-end rooms, each with its own private hot spring pool and viewing courtyard. For safety reasons, their rooms were adjacent to each other.

Momoko first took Hoshino to her room and carefully informed her about the advantages of the room and how to use the furniture.

"I'll leave your salute here first."

"Um."

Hoshino stopped at the door of his room and looked at Momo and Aoi Keisuke with a strange look in his eyes, but he didn't say much and just told them to meet in the lobby later.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qinggui responded and followed Taozi to the adjacent room.

"Mr. Qinggui, this room is yours!

First of all, here is a small living room. There are seasonal flower teas and our local Yuzawa black tea in the drawer... There is an observation deck here, where you can make tea and enjoy the scenery."

Without the cold Hoshino watching from the side, Momo became much more lively when she introduced her. She pushed open the shoji door of the observation deck and invited Qing Keisuke to come over and enjoy the scenery.

"You can see the scenery of Daze Mountain from here. It will be even better if it's a rainy day. Ah... By the way, is that Mr. Qinggui's girlfriend just now?"

"No, that person just now was my club president. Strictly speaking, we are conducting summer club activities."

"Ah...hey?"

What kind of club activities are so high-end?!

Taozi covered her mouth and chuckled: "I also want to say that if we are a couple, it is said that we can enjoy the rainy scenery together in Daze Mountain and grow old together."

"Really?"

Qing Keisuke went over and took a look around, and found that the courtyard behind seemed to be not separated from Hoshino's room.

"Can other rooms be connected through the courtyard like these two rooms?"

"Of course it's not possible."

Taozi said: "Because Mr. Qinggui, you are here in a group, so we arranged a courtyard like this, which is relatively large and convenient for commuting."

"ah……"

Qing Keisuke nodded.

"The door of the room here opens into the bedroom. You can use the bathrobes in the closet at will..."

The receptionist's introduction suddenly became more detailed. It was Qing Keisuke's first time staying in such a high-end hotel, so he did not interrupt her introduction.

When there was really nothing to say, Momo couldn't make Qing Keisuke understand what she was implying, so she had no choice but to leave.

"If Mr. Qinggui feels that the tea in the drawer does not taste good, you can come to me. I still have some good tea hidden away."

"If there is a chance, definitely."

Some people died, but not completely...
