"This place was built by Americans and later became the busiest street in Okinawa. The local people called this place the "Miracle Mile", which means it developed very quickly.
"Are there any specialties here? If you come here once, you can't go back empty-handed. Those cups take up too much space. Is it inconvenient to bring them with you? Is there anything else special?" Hong Tao was chatting with Zhou Xiaoli as he walked.
sky.
"Salt."
"Salt?"
"Don't worry, I'll take you there later. I'm planning to buy some too. Let's look at the clothes with me first." Zhou Xiaoli also wanted to show off and pulled Hong Tao into a Mitsukoshi department store.
Two hours later, Hong Tao finally withdrew from the Mitsukoshi Department Store like a defeated soldier, but in his hands, there were already three more paper bags. These were the clothes Zhou Xiaoli selected after dozens of tries on them.
and shoes. The most hateful thing was that she actually dragged Hong Tao to the women's underwear area, and from time to time asked Hong Tao for his opinion with those small rags.
Hong Tao could tell from her smiling eyes that she was deliberately trying to trick people, but it had become a habit between the two of them to joke like this when they had nothing to do. He also made Zhou Xiaoli feel embarrassed, so he couldn't be impatient at this time.
, can only be outsmarted.
Hong Tao was very experienced in dealing with situations like this. He tried his best to look natural, and then generously helped Zhou Xiaoli choose underwear. He also deliberately selected some very bold designs for Zhou Xiaoli to design, and at the same time took advantage of her. Zhou Xiaoli
Seeing that not only was it easy for him to stay, but it also attracted the attention of some female guests. Since he was unable to fight back, he stopped and stopped this provocative behavior.
After leaving the Mitsukoshi Department Store, Zhou Xiaoli took Hong Tao into a small roadside shop. They were all selling ice cream. At first, Hong Tao didn't look carefully and thought it was just ordinary ice cream. But when he picked it up and ate it, he found it tasted much better.
Ah! Let’s not talk about the pure cream.
The taste of ice cream in most countries in the world is very pure. This does not mean that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China, but that the black-hearted businessmen in China are too black-hearted. They can mix saccharin and chemical flavors at will, and
When we say pure milk, we really believe it!
The red and green colors on this ice cream are actually not pigmented sugar water, but salty!
"Is this salt!?" Hong Tao asked Zhou Xiaoli, pointing to the ice cream.
"YES!" Zhou Xiaoli replied proudly.
"Come on, let's s" Hong Tao finished adding the red powder on top of his ice cream. When he saw that the powder on top of Zhou Xiaoli's ice cream was green, he grabbed it and stuffed his messy ice cream into it.
"You!..." Zhou Xiaoli had nothing to do with Hong Tao. It was useless to snatch it back at this moment. He had already finished refilling her ice cream by sticking out his tongue as long as a dog.
"This salt still has flavor, mine is strawberry flavor, and yours is mint flavor." After occupying two portions of ice cream, Hong Tao came to a very profound scientific conclusion.
"This is called Salt House Ice Cream. There are many flavors of salt. It's a specialty here. Isn't it delicious?"
"Well, it's interesting!" This is the first time Hong Tao has heard and seen that the Japanese have played so many tricks on an ordinary piece of salt. Not only has the color changed, but the taste has also changed, and the way to eat it has also changed.
It's changed, but the only thing that hasn't changed is the salty taste.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the real salt house." Seeing Hong Tao's surprised look, Zhou Xiaoli became even more happy, and like a child, she took Hong Tao's hand and pulled him forward.
Zhou Xiaoli took Hong Tao into a very special store. The sign at the door said "Japan's largest salt specialty store", and there was a special comment below, which probably meant that there were 600 kinds of salt in it.
It’s really a sea of salt inside. I haven’t counted carefully whether there are 600 kinds of salt, but there are definitely more than 100 kinds of salt. Under the guidance of the waiter, Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli looked at various practical salts and tasted several kinds of different salts.
The prepared dishes, to be honest, taste really different.
In addition to salt for eating, there are also salt for cosmetics, salt for bathing, various handicrafts and small ornaments made of salt, etc. If some things are not explained by the waiter, you really can't tell that they are made of salt.
Since people are so knowledgeable about salt, we tasted many varieties for free. I feel really bad if I don’t buy some and leave. Moreover, these things are given as gifts to others. They are beautiful, novel and practical. To put it simply, they are high-end and classy.
, must buy!
With Zhou Xiaoli's help, Hong Tao bought a large bag of all kinds of salt products, from edibles to salt crafts, and then walked out of the salt museum reluctantly.
Once you have what you want to buy, going to the mall is no longer a chore. When Hong Tao finished shopping the entire Kokusai Street, not only were there large and small bags in his hands, but Zhou Xiaoli also had both hands occupied.
It was full, but apart from Hong Tao buying some salt, most of these things were bought by women.
Makishi Market is actually the same as the large wholesale market in China. It has a very high greenhouse. Most of the meat and seafood are sold on the first floor, and restaurants are on the second floor. Yae and several people have already chosen a restaurant on the second floor.
After receiving the call, Zhou Xiaoli took Hong Tao directly to the second floor.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the waiters started to take orders. To Hong Tao's surprise, the waiters here could speak Chinese. Hong Tao followed them downstairs to purchase seafood on site, and found that there were many Chinese-speaking merchants downstairs.
After careful inquiry, it turned out that most of these businesses were run by Taiwanese. No wonder Hong Tao felt a little awkward and familiar with the Chinese they spoke.
The dishes are all eight-point. Hong Tao took a look and found them to be very rich. Some of them he has never heard of, so I won’t introduce the specific details. Compared with domestic seafood, this is the real seafood. Shake your cheeks.
You can make it, but you have to pay attention to one problem. Most seafood is cold in nature. People who don’t eat it often are best not to overeat. Otherwise, our intestines and stomach may not adapt, causing acute gastroenteritis. If you vomit after eating
, this seems so worthless.
The trip to Naha allowed Hong Tao to see the deeper aspects of sea fishing. Although the experience was not long, after these two contacts, Hong Tao has become more and more fond of this fishing method. Compared with freshwater fishing, sea fishing is more
The rhythm is more compact, the amount of exercise is greater, and the contact with nature is closer, but the uncertainty is also higher. In general, sea fishing is more exciting and more suitable for young adults to participate, while freshwater fishing is relatively more leisurely.
After returning to Tokyo from Naha, Hong Tao, Yae and Muraichi have become very good friends. They often invite Hong Tao to their homes for dinner. This is already a very high standard of courtesy among Japanese people.
Well, despite the fact that Japanese people usually smile, nod and bow when they see everyone, in fact they are relatively indifferent towards others. If they are not very good friends or colleagues, they generally will not invite them to their homes as guests.
Originally, according to Zhou Xiaoli and Hong Tao's plan, they would spend the New Year in Tokyo before heading to Canada. However, just over a week before the New Year, Zhou Xiaoli suddenly told Hong Tao one day that the plan had changed. Due to Canada's separation,
There were conflicts between the company and the local labor union.
So she had to rush over to deal with it before the New Year, and Hong Tao could only go with her. Otherwise, once her translator left, Hong Tao would have no one in Tokyo with whom he could communicate, although there were Yae and Muraichi who could live with him.
I'd like to take care of him, but it's very troublesome not being able to communicate with others.
Hong Tao didn't care about when he would set off. He was alone now and could just pick up his suitcase and set off. However, according to Chinese habits, he still specially hosted a banquet for Tadao Kojima, Yae, Muraichi and Kazuo 2 days before departure.
Ueno, the people who had helped him in foreign countries, were still in that Chinese restaurant.
Because after leaving, I don’t know when we will see each other again. At the banquet, Hong Tao was a little sad, and drank to drown his sorrows. He soon became drunk and fell into pieces again. From the banquet to the third
The memory of a period of time when I woke up the next morning was completely gone.
