Chihara Rinto had a very complicated dream. In the dream, the TV series he was filming ran into the Kohaku Uta Battle. As a result, the ratings were instantly crushed. Kohaku Uta Battle had 50%, and he only had 0.5%. He immediately panicked.
I was sweating, trying desperately to figure out how to save the situation and survive, but I couldn't think of a way. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I was, and finally I woke up in a hurry.
He sat there hugging the blanket and was in a daze for a while. The act of laughing dumbly was really disturbing. The pressure was always like a gangrene, and he couldn't escape it even in his dreams!
But what should I do if I really face a show like Red and White Song Battle? Of course I can’t accept my fate. As a human being, I can never admit defeat. I can be defeated, but I have to give the opponent a hard blow...
He was so crazy that he thought seriously about how to defeat the Red and White Song Battle for a while, but of course he still couldn't figure it out. Then he smelled a nice smell of burnt aroma and couldn't help but get up and go to the kitchen.
There is a large kitchen in this large shared apartment, where Banquan is carefully baking rice cakes.
Today is the first day of the new year and we eat rice cakes, which symbolizes hope and perseverance in the new year. Many countries have this tradition, but Japanese rice cakes are usually eaten baked. After baking, the rice cakes themselves are only slightly burnt.
If you want something salty, dip it in soy sauce. If you want something sweet, put it in the red bean soup. This is also one of the New Year's goods ordered by Chihara Rinto. It comes from a famous wagashi shop in Tokyo. If it weren't for the operation department of Kanto United Television
Even if people say hello to him, he may not be able to get a reservation.
Now that I smell it, I can say that it is worth the money. At least it smells pretty good once baked.
Qianyuan Rinto leaned against the door and watched for a while. Sakazumi seemed to sense something. She turned back to look at him and instantly became shy. She was embarrassed to turn her back to him, so she turned slightly sideways and flipped the pan with chopsticks.
While serving rice cakes, he asked, "Teacher Qianyuan, are you awake?"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said, "Yes, I'm awake."
Banquan Quanshui was stunned, feeling that he had said something stupid, and was even more embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject: "There is no oven here, so we can only bake it this way. Do you mind?"
"It doesn't matter, it will be good if they have food." Qianhara Rinto is very open-minded. They are actually homeless. The lack of kitchen utensils is purely normal and they cannot be too demanding.
Banquanquanshui seemed relieved and said with a smile: "That's good."
Chihara Rinto watched the rice cakes in the pan slowly turn golden brown. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not good to keep Sakaizumi busy, so he asked: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Banquan Quanshui smiled and said: "No, I used to do this at home. I can do it myself... This is not what a man should do. I have prepared toiletries for you. You can go and wash up. I'd like to trouble you."
Ah Tong shouted."
Chihara Rinto smiled and responded before leaving.
Soon, he and Hitomi Konoe sat down at the table, and Izumi Sakazumi put red bean rice cake soup, grilled rice cakes, pickled radish and the like on the table.
Hitomi Konoe was quite embarrassed. She was obviously the master, but it seemed that Sakazumi was busy from beginning to end. She quickly thanked Sakazumi: "I know how to do this. I should be the one to do it. It's really hard for you."
Already."
Banquan Quanshui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's the same for everyone, I just don't know if it suits your taste."
"It goes, it definitely goes!" Freeloaders have no right to be picky. Hitomi Konoe approved it without tasting it, shouted "I'm going" again, took a large piece of rice cake from the red bean soup and stuffed it in his mouth.
, after chewing it twice, he stretched his neck and swallowed hard, praising: "It's really delicious!"
Qianhara Rinto wanted to slap her on the back of the head, but he was embarrassed to guard the Sakaquan spring water, so he could only remind her: "Eat slowly!"
It was said that every New Year's Day, hundreds of people across Japan would be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment because they choked on rice cakes. There were also rumors of people choking to death on the spot from time to time. He didn't want to burn paper for Hitomi Konoe on this day every year in the future.
Hitomi Konoe obediently slowed down his swallowing and said vaguely: "It's really delicious. The rice cakes from our hometown... you may not believe it, but they put shrimp and fish in it, which is simply a crime!"
Banquanquanshui covered her mouth and chuckled: "If you like it, Ah Tong, eat more."
"Okay, you guys eat too!" Hitomi Konoe seemed to never have anything to worry about. She ate it deliciously on the first day of the New Year. When she finished eating, she wiped her mouth and said happily: "Shall we go to Chushen? I
I want to hang an Ema!”
Qianhara Rinto had no objection to Sakazumi Izumi, so he put on his coat and followed her.
January 1st should be considered winter, but the temperature is still fluctuating around 10 degrees Celsius. Even if the ice can't freeze at night, it can't be called cold. Along the way, Chihara Rinto saw many people with their whole families going out for "first attainment".
There were people in casual clothes and some in kimono, but it was very lively.
The meaning of the word "first worship" probably refers to "the first visit to worship this year". You can go to a temple or a shrine. It is mainly to seek good omens for the year. It is also one of the important contents of the Japanese New Year activities.
Although this government has forcibly designated the Spring Festival in Japan as January 1 in the Gregorian calendar, the customs have not changed and remain the same as before.
And it doesn’t have to be on the 1st. As long as the "first achievement" is completed within the "Matsunouchi" period, it can be completed between the 1st and the 7th. However, the statutory annual holiday in Japan is from the 28th to the 3rd, so it is
Most people squeeze in their annual leave between the 1st and 3rd. Generally, companies will extend it. The statutory time is more to stipulate how many times overtime pay should be paid.
Chihara Rinto followed Konoe Hitomi and Sakaizumi Izumi to a nearby small shrine as if they were sightseeing. This small shrine was also quite good at doing business and held a "New Year Festival", which was actually an open-air market.
The shrine maiden who made a temporary cameo was selling some special products of the shrine such as "Omama" and "Evil-Breaking Arrows".
Konoe Hitomi was full of interest and felt that big cities were better than their small fishing village. She took a look at the Sakaquan spring water stalls and bought a windmill to hold it. When there was a lottery, she wanted to try her luck. As a result, she
She didn't draw anything, but Izumi Sakazumi drew a "money rake" pendant. She didn't like it very much, so she gave it to Hitomi Konoe directly, and Hitomi Konoe gave her the windmill.
Chihara Rinto also drew a prize once, but didn't draw anything. He laughed and cursed, feeling that he had been cheated. The rake drawn by Sakasen Spring Water was only worth 100 yen, so it was a waste of 50 yen.
However, it was still quite interesting, and Chihara Rinto became even more interested in playing.
After passing through the open-air market, the noise immediately disappeared, and everyone's expressions became much more solemn. Chihara Rinto and the three of them washed their hands and rinsed their mouths at the water house, and then walked along the shrine to the worship hall.
.
Chihara Rinto just joined in the fun and was just sightseeing. Sakaizumi and Hitomi Konoe were much more sincere than him. After ringing the bell, they "bowed two times, clapped and bowed" very seriously. Especially Sakaizumi seemed to have made a lot of wishes.
, it’s just that Chihara Rin is not familiar with her and can’t guess what she promised, but Konoe Hitomi is much easier to guess. She definitely hopes to play the heroine this year, or at least play a supporting actress. Basically, she is thinking
Eat peaches.
After making their wishes and putting in the money, they went to draw lots.
Banquan Quanshui drew a "big lucky" card, which was very good, indicating that this year's career will be extremely smooth, and life will have a new direction. It is considered the best luck among the lucky ones, and it couldn't be better, but Konoe Hitomi drew one.
"Big Bad", according to the signature, means that there will be big dangers this year, and your career will suffer heavy setbacks. But don't worry, dangers breed great opportunities. Once this year is over, everything will be smooth sailing in the future.
Hitomi Konoe looked at the lot in distress and asked, "Should this be considered good or bad?"
Is it worth exchanging this year's misfortune for future success? Is it worth it?
Banquanquanshui insisted immediately, "I think it's a good sign. Although it's called a bad sign, it can't be said to be a bad thing."
"I hope so!" Hitomi Konoe felt that it was acceptable to become an official actor and become famous after an unlucky year. His mood immediately improved, and he turned to Chihara Rinto and asked: "Chihara-sensei, what lottery did you draw?"
Qianhara Rinto unfolded the signature and showed it to her, and said with a smile: "fierce."
He didn't know how to distinguish between "bad" and "big bad". His picture looked even worse than Hitomi Konoe's, so he said directly that he had to be extra careful this year, otherwise something very bad would happen.
Banquan Quanshui took a look at it and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Teacher Qianyuan, this is just to remind you to be careful. You just need to pay attention, and you will be fine after this year."
Qianhara Rinto smiled and nodded. He didn't really believe this. Even if he traveled through time inexplicably, he still didn't believe it. However, Sakazumi had good intentions, so there was no need to refute anything.
He balled up the paper and was about to throw it away, but Banquanquanshui quickly snatched it away: "Don't throw it away, let's hang it on the sacred tree for transportation." She originally wanted to take her lucky piece back as an amulet.
Now I have changed my mind, and am ready to hang out with Qianhara Rinto, and use my own good luck to counteract Qianhara Rinto's bad luck.
This was still a good intention. Chihara Rinto had no objection and said "Okay" with a smile. However, he still felt that it didn't matter. If he could pray for ratings, why would he try so hard and just change the studio?
After the shrine was restored, he took the lead in making wishes every day, and would kill anyone who was not sincere.
He is considered an agnostic. Maybe there is a God, but God must not care about ordinary people's affairs. After all, you have to rely on yourself!
He didn't take it too seriously, but Ban Quanquan was very concerned and took them directly to the sacred tree. The top of the sacred tree was already covered with red and white ropes. She searched carefully for a moment and found it.
I went to a relatively empty place, tied up all the signatures, then lowered my head and prayed sincerely for a moment.
Hitomi Konoe thought for a while, then put up her signature and murmured in a low voice: "Please don't let me be unlucky. Just make a big turn for the better."
Qianyuan Rinto listened and couldn't help laughing, but felt it was inappropriate and quickly asked: "Where should we go next?"
"Go and hang the Ema!" Hitomi Konoe said, "I hung one last year and it felt pretty good."
Chihara Rinto had no objection, and followed Konoe Hitomi and Sakazumi Izumi to the "Ema Hanging". It looked like a wooden wall with various blessing ema hanging on it, and there were many people there.
As I continue to hang up, I hope that God can bless my wish to come true.
Chihara Rinto took the initiative to buy three pieces of Ema and came back. He found that the thing had the word "horse" on it, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with horse. The pattern on the top was a medicine bowl with a medicine hammer. He put the Ema
After dividing the points, Konoe Hitomi and Sakaizumi Izumi immediately started writing enthusiastically, while he first went to see what others had made.
"Please wish that Mi Zi's illness will get better soon."
"I hope the milk supply will be more abundant."
"Please let Junta take the initiative to take a bath and stay healthy."
He looked around and was speechless. There was no conspicuous sign in this shrine. Did Hitomi Konoe lead them to some kind of shrine? It felt like a god who protected children or mothers and babies...
…
But that’s okay, it’s just a fun thing to do anyway!
He touched the pen, thought for a while and wrote directly on it: I hope the work will continue to sell well!
After finishing writing, he looked at this line and smiled with satisfaction. He thought it was good. For a TV program producer, there is nothing better than this wish.
In the new year, I hope that all my works will be as popular as last year!
