The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Makoto Natsui each showed up at the front desk of a 200-year-old hotel in Hakone with their suitcases and asked for the best room.

This is a relatively independent suite located in the backyard, which is not only rich in classical Japanese style, but also has a separate hot spring pool.

As for the price, it's not cheap either. However, for the rich, it is nothing at all. What's more, the store is a tailor-made service for the middle and upper class groups in society.

A middle-aged woman in a kimono in the shop, with her feet in small steps, her head slightly bowed and bent over, walks in front of Masayoshi Kishimoto and Makoto Natsui to guide them.

Behind them, there is also an uncle in traditional Japanese costume who is carrying the suitcase for the guests and silently following all the way.

The four of them walked through the winding corridors inside and outside the house, and only then did they reach the door of their destination. The middle-aged woman knelt down and took the initiative to open the door for the guest with both hands.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Makoto Natsui walked in straight first, and then the uncle who carried the luggage for them also followed, and put down the luggage without saying a word and retreated.

After a while, two young women, also dressed in kimonos, each carried a fruit platter to the room. They rested on the rectangular table in the room, and then silently withdrew.

"Guests can call me at any time if they need anything. The middle-aged woman knelt outside the room, smiling sideways.

Natsui Makoto bowed slightly in response to her and said, "Okay." ”

The middle-aged women stopped bothering and took the initiative to close the door for them. Then she stood up again, and walked away almost silently.

Natsui Makoto turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, and ran towards the small courtyard outside the house. She didn't go down, looked at the quiet environment around her, smiled and sighed: "It's really nice here! Let me live here for the rest of my life, and I am willing." ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto sat cross-legged on the tatami mats in the room and laughed, "Normally, the week before would have felt like this was a paradise.

The first two weeks will make you feel average! By the third week, you'll be bored, so remote, the countryside is really not as good as the city, I'd better go back!"

Natsui Makoto walked back towards him, knelt down next to the square table, and said angrily, "You know to laugh at me and bully me." ”

"You're obviously talking nonsense. Masayoshi Kishimoto lowered his head, crossed his feet on his chest, and posed as if he was reasoning with her.

"No, you know it best in your heart. Natsui Makoto started eating fruit as soon as she started. With every bite, she smiled and couldn't help but close her eyes and savor it.

Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at the smile and happiness that exuded her from eating the fruit, but he expressed a complete understanding.

Before I came here without being reborn, my understanding of Japan was still biased by the mainstream media or textbook education in the past.

Japanese people do not have a traditional habit of eating fruits. In the Edo period of kaiseki (high-end Japanese cuisine), they called fruit ko, which is one of the desserts, fruit desserts.

In fact, he felt that the Chinese did not have the traditional habit of eating fruits, after all, at that time, they could not even eat enough for a long time.

Little Japan, Little Japan is not small, in fact a little larger than Germany, equivalent to the area of Yunnan Province in China. The main reason is that China is really too big.

Most of Japan's land is mainly mountainous and hilly, and only 12% of the land is used for agriculture. The security of its own food self-sufficiency will be the first priority for any country.

Japan is not able to use large-scale mechanized farming operations like some developed capitalist countries in Europe and the United States because of its geographical constraints.

Twenty years later, Japan's aging population has intensified, and grain exports have been increasing year by year. It can be seen that its food self-sufficiency rate is completely fine.

Why does it still import foreign grain? On the one hand, it is used for animal feed, and on the other hand, it is for the people at the bottom to eat, after all, in Japan, domestic things are often more expensive than imported things, which is exactly the opposite of China.

The reason why Japan's agricultural products are expensive is not only to protect the country's agricultural production, but also because it is a brand of intensive farming, and the cultivation cost is high.

The Chinese often laugh at the Japanese for eating watermelon and sprinkling salt on it, just to make it sweeter.

The watermelons in the supermarket are still sold piece by piece, not at all like China is selling them individually. A watermelon costs several thousand yen, which is a few hundred soft girl coins.

Not to mention the taste, it is generally a brand fruit. Not to mention that the Japanese at the bottom don't know how to consume and can't afford to eat, even the ordinary middle class is reluctant to eat. Fruit is not seen as a necessity in Japan, but as a luxury.

In Japan, 98% of branded fruits are used as gifts. Not only will the Chinese give gifts to their superiors, but the trustees will give gifts or something, and the Japanese will do the same.

One apple 100 Soft Girl Coin (Nagano Prefecture), one Strawberry 30 Soft Girl Coin (Kumamoto Prefecture), one mango 200 Soft Girl Coin (Miyazaki Prefecture......

Surely there will be people who say that Japanese people generally have high incomes or something. When Masayoshi Kishimoto thinks of this, he can only hehe about it.

In fact, it is not at all what the Japanese state media advertises. Governments all over the world tend to talk about the good and not the bad.

In his previous life, he knew that according to the 2018 data released by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the average salary in Tokyo was 6.12 million yen, equivalent to 370,000 soft girls, which was before tax, not after tax.

The reason why the average income of Tokyo is so high is that it is concentrated in the vast majority of wealthy people in Japan, as well as some wealthy people in overseas countries. In Japan, too, there will be a phenomenon of equalization.

In 2018, the average income of Japan as a whole was 4.32 million yen, which is almost 260,000 yen. A young Japanese woman in her twenties wants her significant other to earn more than 4 million yen a year.

However, only 11.7% of young Japanese men in their twenties are able to reach this level. The remaining 88.3% can't find a wife?

If you want to work hard to earn 6 million yen a year, for an ordinary young man, you need to graduate from university and work until you are 50 years old.

During this period, the company must unswervingly implement the annual merit sequence system, and the company's performance will not decline significantly, and no layoffs will be made, and no closure......

The average annual income of young Japanese people who graduate from university is 2.92 million yen, or about 240,000 yen per month. This is pre-tax.

As for the after-tax period, it is about 190,000 yen, which is equivalent to more than 10,000 soft girl coins. Rent is 70,000 yen, meals are 50,000 yen, transportation is 20,000 yen, utilities are 10,000 yen, mobile phones are 4,000 yen, Internet is 4,000 yen, daily miscellaneous expenses are 12,000 yen, and dinner expenses are 20,000 yen, adding up to 190,000 yen.

This is all a relatively economical standard of living, resulting in many low-level social animals in Japanese companies only eating a rice ball or drinking the company's free coffee at noon every day.

Otherwise, you won't even have the money to go on a date. Pocket money of 30,000 yen is such a cruel reality for ordinary Japanese men.
