When I returned to Akita City, it was already dark.

With the arrival of night, the temperature also drops a lot compared to the day. Walking out of the carriage, the cold wind blowing on his face made Ye Zhao subconsciously shrink his shoulders.

"It's really windy. He said to Ayako Fuji beside him.

However, after all, it is already spring, and although the wind is cold, it is not as harsh as the winter wind, and after gradually getting used to it, I don't feel so unbearable.

Lunch was eaten outside, and for dinner, Ayako Fuji suggested that she would make it herself when she returned. Since she took the initiative to propose it, Ye Zhao also readily agreed.

The main dish for dinner was chicken hot pot, and when it comes to Akita Prefecture, the specialty that has to be mentioned is not only rice, sake, and canjin cedar, but also the Hikichi chicken, which has been selected as one of the three most famous chickens in Japan.

Although it comes to this chicken compared to the mainland, what left the most impressive impression in Ye Zhao's heart was the advertisement made by a chicken skewer chain in later generations.

A Byland chicken from the depths of the Akita Mountains, with its own chives and cumin condiment, has gone through a lot of hardships and risks almost being eaten by his fellow Akita inu brother to travel all the way to the metropolis of Tokyo, in order to send himself to a chicken skewer restaurant and turn into steaming chicken skewers.

…… What kind of strange advertisement is this? At least consider how the chickens feel.

Although Ye Zhao had such a boring idea in his mind when he knew that he was going to eat chicken hot pot, when he sat down at the table, took the bowl that Fuji Ayako had served for him, and ate the chicken in his mouth, all he could say was: "Ah, it tastes really good." "That's it.

For dinner, Ye Zhao brought back sake from Saito's distillery in the afternoon, and noticing that his glass was empty, Fuji Ayako took the bottle and carefully filled it for him.

Halfway through, Fuji Ayako suddenly said, "Hot pot really tastes good when you eat it with people close to you." ”

"Yes?" Ye Zhao echoed casually, "I think so too, probably because this way of eating is very casual, if the relationship is not good enough, it will be a little uncomfortable to eat." ”

Because they were going to leave for the mountains to see the snow the next morning, neither of them drank too much, but just drank a few glasses to cheer up, and after a bottle bottomed out, they stopped.

"Is this how Ye Jun wants to bring these wines back to Tokyo?" Fuji Ayako mentioned this matter again, "Actually, if you like Akita's sake, please ask Saito-san to help send some to Tokyo." ”

"It's just a whim, and if I hadn't come to Akita, I wouldn't have thought of buying sake, so I didn't need to be so excited. Ye Zhao put down his chopsticks, drank half a glass of water, and diverted the topic: "When it comes to snow, it is obviously white, but through the white snow, it is associated with red." If you can walk in the snow in a red kimono, it will be a beautiful place. ”

Fuji Ayako corrected him, "The red kimono should still be worn in January and February. ”

"Really?" Ye Zhao had a teachable expression on his face, "In this way, the color of the kimono must change accordingly in different seasons." After thinking about it, he asked, "If you wear a red kimono now, it will be a little undecent?"

"It's not that ......strict," explains Ayako Fuji," explains Fuji, "and in the current era, the color matching of clothes has become much more casual, and it depends more on personal preferences." ”

"That's right. Ye Zhao nodded, "Now, it's more up to the person's own will to decide this." "It's not like in ancient times, you had to dress strictly according to the season, otherwise you would be ridiculed and rude.

Having said that, it's a little regrettable that I can't see Ayako Fuji walking in a red kimono in the snow.

Perhaps aware of this, after dinner, Fuji Ayako asked again, "Ye Jun really wants to see me wearing a red kimono?"

"Yes. Ye Zhao replied without thinking. Fuji Ayako refused to let him help clean up the table, and now he was sitting in front of the small bar next to him, looking at her busy figure with some boredom.

"After I went to Beijing, I brought everything here to Tokyo one after another, but only some of them remained. There are a few sets of red kimonos in Tokyo, but not here...... I didn't have time to order, and I didn't want to wear a rented kimono. Speaking of this, her tone paused, "However, although there are no red kimonos, there is a set of lead red ones, which I wore when I was young." ”

"Ayako-san is also very young now. Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Fuji Ayako glanced at him, "...... If Ye Jun doesn't dislike it, how about wearing this set?"

On the contrary, instead of disliking it, I look forward to it from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Say pretty things. Fuji Ayako symbolically rebuked him, "However, if you don't see a decent snow scene after you go, it's a little funny to dress like this." ”

"It's okay, in that case, let's go to the ski slopes. Ye Zhao said, "I have always been optimistic about these things. "Don't forget to take the opportunity to make a joke," ...... It's really not good, so let's change into kimonos now, and we can sit in the courtyard and drink in front of the snow piled up in the corner. ”

"It's not funny at all. Fuji Ayako reminded.

That's just as well. It's okay to talk about the remnants of snow in the courtyard casually, but if you really change into a kimono for it, it's more sad than funny.

After cleaning up the dining table and kitchen, Fuji Ayako went up to the second floor, and Ye Zhao also followed her into the Japanese-style room.

Open the sliding door of the closet, judging from the contents of the storage, this room should be used to place old things, and the closet is organized and neat, from these places, Fuji Ayako's high requirements for the quality of life can also be glimpsed.

"I remember it was stored here......" Moving out the old things bit by bit, Fuji Ayako muttered quietly as she rummaged through them.

Seeing her working so hard, Ye Zhao felt a little sorry in his heart, and felt that he had caused her trouble. However, she thought that her wish was about to be fulfilled by her, and she looked forward to finding it as soon as possible.

Finally, Fuji Ayako turned out a box hidden in the deepest part of the closet and patted it gently, "...... It should be this one, yes. As he spoke, he opened the box a third of the way, revealing a corner of the kimono with a lead-colored background.

However, compared to the kimono, Ye Zhao, who had been looking at the things in the closet with some curiosity since he was just now, was attracted by other things.

"It's ...... Japanese koto?" After looking at it carefully, Ye Zhao asked hesitantly. 2k reading web
