The weather in the mountains is really changing, just now the sky was clear, but I didn't expect it to be only a few minutes, but suddenly it was pouring rain.

Lin Xiuyi took over the task of driving after lunch, but because of the increasing rain and the unfamiliar roads, it was not until two hours later that he arrived at the booked hot spring hotel, Umegakiya.

The hostess of the hotel, Juko Uragaki, personally stood outside the gate to greet Lin Shuichi's arrival. The waitresses in the hotel also came to greet everyone.

"The guests have worked hard along the way," the female general Mei Yuan greeted warmly.

"Ah, hostess, do you have any fresh Koshu beef here, we want to try the famous Koshu beef pot for dinner!" Lin Xiuyi was afraid that Mei Heng would prepare the guests' dishes in advance, so he took the initiative to ask as soon as he entered the door.

"Of course there is, I'll go and prepare!, but now it's raining heavily outside, and the mountain roads are slippery, so please be careful if you want to go out!" reminded the female general Uragaki kindly.

"Thank you for the reminder!" After Lin Xiuyi and the others said goodbye to the proprietress Mei Yuan, they came to the room under the leadership of the male waiter. The rooms of Lin Xiuyi and the others were all connected, and several rooms could be connected to each other. During the day, everyone can open the screen to move together, and when it is time to sleep at night, they can be separated by the screen, which is very convenient. Umegagaki is located halfway up the mountainside, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the mountain from here. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city in the silent valley, this feeling was the first time Lin Xiuyi had experienced.

Lin Xiuyi pulled up the screen, took off his suit and put on the bathrobe provided in the hotel. After everyone had changed into yukatas, the rain outside had stopped. Lin Shuichi and Aizawa and other men came to the soup pool downstairs.

"Oh! it's so comfortable!" Lin Xiuyi slowly sat down in the soup pool with a bath towel, soaked the towel in water, and then wrung it out and covered his face, breathing a long sigh of relief.

Although it was an open-air soup pool, the temperature was slightly cold after the rain, but Lin Xiuyi, who was immersed in the hot water, felt warm all over his body. The body becomes lighter under the action of buoyancy, and this is the charm of hot springs!

"Ahh

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to go back to Tokyo, so I really want to retire early!" said Hanagata.

……

An hour later, the crowd returning from the hot spring pool to their rooms sat around the table, ready to enjoy Yamanashi Prefecture's famous Koshu beef hot pot. The hot springs are very comfortable, but if you soak for too long, they can be harmful to your health. After enjoying the hot springs, everyone's stomachs were a little hungry. The temperature in the mountains is very low after the rain, and in this kind of weather, it is a good choice to enjoy a hot hot pot.

Yamanashi Prefecture is known as Kai in the Warring States period, and this is where Takeda Shingen started. Koshu beef, on the other hand, is not as well-known as Kobe beef, but it is also one of the best among Wagyu beef. Looking at the slices of snowflake beef on the plate with the same size and bright color, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The waitress of Umegaki House first served a bowl of clear soup for everyone, and then put the beef slices on the plate one by one. Lin Xiu picked up the soup bowl, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then took a sip gently. The soup has a lot of ingredients and has a delicious mushroom taste. A mouthful of hot soup is in the stomach, and the stomach is warm.

"Oh, it's delicious!" Miki said as she picked up a slice of beef and put it in her mouth.

"It's really delicious, and it feels like it's different from the beef you eat on weekdays!" Hanagata agreed.

Koshu cattle are not as famous as Kobe beef, but they are also carefully bred, and Yamanashi Prefecture is famous for its wine, while Koshu beef is raised entirely from sake lees from which wine is made. The waitress of Umegagaki explained to everyone.

Compared with the high-flying Kobe beef, the price of Koshu beef is still affordable by Lin Shuichi, but if compared with ordinary beef, the price of Koshu beef is enough to make people jaw-dropping to explain, even in Yamanashi County, the price of this kind of beef is 20,000 Dan (1,000 yuan) a catty.

After dinner, Miki proposes to play flower cards together. Lin Xiuyi wanted to go out for a walk instead. So after saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Xiuyi left the Umegaki House alone.

I have to say that the village is really beautiful, walking on the stone road after the rain, the streets are lined with wooden and lively shops, and most of the people walking around the streets at the moment are tourists in yukata robes, and some local merchants sell some of Yamanashi Prefecture's specialties and handmade souvenirs to tourists. This kind of scene made Lin Xiuyi feel like he had traveled through time and space.

Lin Xiu walked for a while and felt a little tired, so he sat on a chair on the side of the road to rest. It wasn't long before a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Excuse me, sir, do you know how to get to Umegakiya?"

Lin Xiuyi turned his head and saw a woman with glasses standing behind him and asked.

"Of course, you can walk along this street, and then you will see a small river, and after crossing the river, you will ...... Forget it, I'll take you there!" Lin Xiuyi originally wanted to tell the other party, but he couldn't tell him the way back, but Lin Xiuyi was still confident that he could walk back.

"Is this convenient? it won't delay your business, right?" asked the other party gratefully.

"It's okay, I'm here to travel anyway!" Lin Xiu replied together.

The other party hesitated for a moment, and suddenly noticed the three Chinese characters of Meiyuanya on Lin Xiuyi's yukata, and then agreed to Lin Xiuyi's suggestion with confidence.

The two of them then walked together and began to move in the direction of Umagakiya. Along the way, the two chatted and gradually became familiar. Lin Xiuyi soon knew that the other party's name was Kanako Kimura, who was also from Tokyo, and this time the two had more common topics.

"I work at TV Asahi, and this time I went to Ubutu Village to explore the legends about the treasures here!

"Yes, I'm here with my colleagues! I'm going to rest here for a few days and then go back to Tokyo!" Lin Xiuyi deliberately didn't mention his work.

……

The two chatted all the way back to Umegaki House, and just entered the door. As soon as Lin Xiu saw that the female general of the Umegaki House was talking to a woman around forty years old, the woman seemed to be in a hurry.

"Kanako, why are you only here now!" A middle-aged woman in her forties immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kanako Kimura, and then asked with a slight surprise.

"I'm sorry, Director Mizukawa, the car I was riding in broke down halfway through, and my phone ran out of battery, so I ......," Kanako hurriedly explained.

"Oh, it's okay if you're fine, who is this?" Director Mizukawa looked at Lin Xiuyi, looked up and down, and then asked.

"Hello, I'm Lin Xiuyi, I'm here for a vacation!"
