Chapter 522 Japanese Doll
We've got it made
........
The sound of singing echoed in the sky above the martial arts hall.
The first qualifying round tonight ended with a song "We've Got It Made" sung by Gee Chakiris from the UK.
The conference started at 6:30 and ended at 9:30. It lasted three hours and twenty singers took turns performing on the stage.
Most of the songs selected by singers are related to the region they come from, such as English songs, Japanese songs, French songs, and Spanish songs.
There are also many types of styles, including pop songs, folk songs, lyrical songs, and rock songs. It’s like a hodgepodge of music feasts.
But the songs performed tonight can be selected from all over the world. They are all singers and songs of a certain level, and they are not bad for viewing.
Zhang Guorong performed very well tonight. As long as the 23 judges are not collectively blinded, I believe there will be no problem in being selected for the finals.
After Weng Qianyu said "see yht", the audience began to leave amid applause from the audience.
Lu Dongjie and Zhong Chuhong followed the flow of people outside and waited in the square outside the main entrance of the martial arts hall.
In this season in Japan, the night wind is very cool.
Zhong Chuhong felt a cool breeze blowing over her and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders. Her timid look was very cute.
Lu Dongjie couldn't help but laugh, "Listen to me, right?"
Zhong Chuhong didn't say anything, she just walked around behind him playfully, then opened her hands to hug him from behind.
She put her small hands into the pockets on both sides of his coat, and gently leaned against his broad back, with a happy smile on her face.
This couple was doing such intimate gestures on the streets of a foreign country without any scruples, and they didn't care what others thought.
When Zhang Guorong and Yu Xiaoxin walked out, they were still talking and laughing. It seemed that the temporary partners worked well together.
Especially Zhang Guorong, the excitement on his face has not faded away. I believe that tonight's stage gave him great encouragement and made him full of confidence.
Yu Xiaoxin joked with joy, "Boss, are you waiting to hold a celebration banquet for us now?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guorong sang the opposite tune, "It's not good, the result is unknown now, why not wait for the finals?"
But looking at the way he looked, I was afraid he couldn't wait to go back and make a long-distance call to report the situation to Sister Mao.
Tonight is just the first qualifying round, and Jiayi TV is scheduled to broadcast the competition live via satellite during the finals.
Lu Dongjie couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You two go back and have a good rest first, and then make other plans after the finals."
Zhang Guorong nodded and smiled, "Then we two will go back first."
No matter how stupid he is, he can still tell that the boss is leaving them alone and wants to go shopping with his girlfriend.
Yu Xiaoxin naturally has good eyesight, and she will not stay behind to make light bulbs and go back quickly with Zhang Guorong.
Lu Dongjie helped them stop a taxi on the street and watched the two of them get in the car and leave.
Zhong Chuhong held his arm, a little excited, "Where are we going now? Is there any fun place nearby?"
Lu Dongjie turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Zhong Chuhong narrowed her eyes coquettishly, "That's a bit, but the restaurant is about to close at this time, right?"
Lu Dongjie flagged down a taxi, and the two of them went to Yurakucho to look for food, and finally found a small ramen shop.
Although this is a prosperous place in Kyoto, it is not difficult to find a good ramen restaurant.
Zhong Chuhong lowered her voice quietly, "Why do you think these stores like to hang curtains at the door?"
Lu Dongjie simply replied: "It is used to keep out wind and dust. Now it is considered a traditional custom that they have preserved."
This small noodle shop on Hengjie Street is not big. The interior decoration is simple and clean, and the warm yellow lighting makes people feel like they are at home.
The decoration in the store is also very thoughtful, with uneven layers of oblate porcelain hanging on the counter, which is quite folk-style.
A Japanese girl wearing a kimono came up to her, smiling sweetly and inviting the two of them to sit inside.
Fortunately, this ramen restaurant has chairs for sitting. If it were a traditional restaurant, I would have to take off my shoes and sit cross-legged.
The menus of ramen shops are written on long strips of paper and are posted above the counter. You can see them by looking up slightly.
In addition to fried dumplings, the shop specializes in two types of ramen: Hakata ramen and soy sauce ramen.
After Lu Dongjie ordered his meal, the Japanese girl smiled sweetly at him, turned around and left very politely.
Zhong Chuhong looked a little depressed and asked angrily: "What were you talking to her about just now?"
The enthusiastic service attitude of this young girl in a kimono made her couldn't help but feel a little appreciative.
Lu Dongjie smiled and replied: "Both of us like spicy food, so we told her not to add spicy food."
Zhong Chuhong secretly stretched out her little hand to pinch him and warned: "Then why are you always staring at others?"
Lu Dongjie's face showed a very cooperative grin, "I'm just a little curious about their kimonos."
He suddenly turned his head and winked at her, "How about I buy you a set to try on? What do you think?"
Zhong Chuhong rolled her eyes at him and refused without thinking: "No, I'm not a Japanese girl."
After she finished speaking, she thought of something again and stared at him with her big eyes, "Also, you are not allowed to have thoughts about those Japanese girls."
In the past two days, Zhong Chuhong has met those Japanese girls. Her tone of voice is very brisk and she is very funny when she laughs.
Especially this man, who has learned how to write well, who knows if he will secretly chase a Japanese girl back.
Lu Dongjie said casually: "I am worried about what souvenirs to buy for Jiahui, so I will buy her a kimono."
He added, "She tried on a kimono last time and she looked like a Japanese doll. Even the Japanese praised her for being cute."
Zhong Chuhong suddenly felt aggrieved and turned away, "You are always thinking of her. She is obviously with you."
Lu Dongjie held her little hand and said seriously: "I'm kidding you, who made Sister Hongdou like to be jealous?"
At this time, the Japanese girl came up with two bowls of hot ramen and looked at the two of them with an ambiguous smile on her face.
Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but blush slightly, and immediately broke away from his hand.
Lu Dongjie ordered a new version of Akamaru Ramen. The soup is a secret tonkotsu soup, which is a milky white soup.
The bowl of noodles is very colorful, including black sesame oil, red barbecued pork, green spring onions, soybean sprouts and black fungus.
He gently moved the chopsticks to let the various seasonings evenly blend into the soup base, and a rich and mellow aroma wafted out.
What Zhong Chuhong ordered was a special soy sauce ramen. Although it looks simple, it has an appetizing effect.
The seemingly greasy barbecued pork slices are actually refreshing in taste, plus shrimp wontons and soft-boiled eggs.
Dried bamboo shoots, nine green onions, etc.
The medium-thin noodles made from wheat are smooth and easy to eat. Paired with the thick soy sauce soup base, it is a perfect combination to whet your appetite.
The Japanese girl also brought several plates of free sauces and side dishes. The side dishes included pickled bean sprouts, cabbage and red ginger.
Lu Dongjie asked her for a seasoning bottle and sprinkled the ground pepper on top of the noodles. A sudden aroma hit his nostrils.
Zhong Chuhong is like a cat that feeds on food. She is not satisfied with her own big bowl of ramen and rushes to grab her boyfriend's bowl.
The price of two bowls of ramen is 1,800 yen, equivalent to HKD 30, which should be considered an acceptable mid-range price in Hong Kong.
The two had a full meal of Japanese-style ramen in a small shop. After paying the bill, they came out and walked aimlessly on the street hand in hand.
Lu Dongjie suddenly stopped, looked at a wooden-style store next to him, and then smiled.
Zhong Chuhong looked up at him, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Dongjie stretched out his hand and pointed to her, "There is a Japanese-style bathroom here for bathing and massage. Why don't we go in and try it out."
Zhong Chuhong looked up, then lowered her head a little nervously, "Why don't we go back to the hotel?"
Lu Dongjie hugged her waist, "The place here is spacious enough, and all the facilities are available at the door. How can we not try it out?"
Under his instigation, Zhong Chuhong followed him in half-heartedly, hoping to experience the Japanese culture.
