Chapter 414: Sakura's Thoughts
The sashimi was dipped in soy sauce and wasabi, and Bai Xiaobai was very happy to eat.
Sakura scalded the sake, knelt on the tatami mat, and poured a glass of wine for Bai Xiaobai, "Xiaobai-kun, the dishes are ready, please use it slowly." ”
As Sakura poured the wine, Bai noticed that her right index finger was wrapped in a band-aid, as if she was injured.
Because I am a newcomer, it is inconvenient to ask directly about some things.
Bai Xiaobai casually accosted: "May I ask if you make all these dishes?"
"Yes, to your liking?" Sakura smiled slightly, revealing a neat mouthful of teeth.
In Bai Xiaobai's impression, the neon girl's teeth are not particularly neat, and Sakura is an exception, not only neat but also not at all.
"It's very good, I especially like this thick omelette, the taste is very good. Bai Xiaobai praised, not false at all.
"Thank you for the compliment. Sakura smiled again.
Bai Xiaobai has a cheerful personality and continues to take the initiative to find topics to talk about.
Originally, Sakura's personality was shy and jerky, but under Bai Xiaobai's attack, her words gradually increased.
Of course, it mainly revolves around tourist attractions and cuisine.
Bai Xiaobai has rich knowledge of food and does not worry about no topic.
With a common topic, the two are getting higher and higher.
Bai Xiaobai first inquired if there were any strange legends around here.
Of course, Bai Xiaobai asked more vaguely, and did not directly say anything about the mysterious kitchenware.
Sakura was honest and told a few local myths about kappa and the origin of Mt. Fuji.
The story is legendary, but it doesn't fit in with the mysterious kitchenware at all.
Sakura then briefly introduced some of the natural attractions around Lake Kawaguchi, and said that if Bai Xiaobai stayed tomorrow, she could be a free tour guide tomorrow.
Bai Xiaobai was naturally very happy to respond.
It's better to have a local guide to lead the way than to travel alone, and it's easy to do anything.
In addition, since Sakura talked about the bad business of this hostel, Bai Xiaobai followed the conversation and asked.
In fact, Bai Xiaobai has always been a little confused.
Although this hostel is not in a prime location, it is not particularly remote, and there are hot springs, the price is fair and affordable, and the food is also good, so it stands to reason that it is impossible to stay without guests.
Sakura didn't want to talk to outsiders about the store, but in the chat just now, she saw that Bai Xiaobai was sincere, so she told her the truth and talked about some things related to herself.
Sakura's parents died at an early age, and she and her grandparents lived together at this inn since she was a child.
Kawaguchiko Station is a stopover point on the way to Mt. Fuji in the east longitude.
Because of the beautiful scenery and the view of Mt. Fuji in the distance, most foreign tourists make a short stop here before visiting Mt. Fuji.
Since the opening of the tourist east-to-Mt. Fuji bus, this Sakura ryokan is relatively close to Kawaguchiko Station, and it is often visited by people, and business has always been very good.
Sakura's grandfather was still alive at the time, and he was both the owner of the inn and the chef of the restaurant.
The dishes served by the guests are all made by him.
Because of the delicious food and its reputation, Sakura Ryokan has continued to grow in business.
It's just that the good times don't last long.
Soon something went wrong.
Once, a mini tour group that came to stay had a collective food poisoning incident.
There were a total of eight people in the group, and after eating the food of this hotel, all of them vomited and diarrhea to varying degrees, and the two elderly couples almost died.
The final investigation of the poisoning incident was that the source of the ingredients was unclean and the purchase process was not well controlled.
The problem is mainly with the supplier, and Grandpa Sakura is completely in the dark.
It's just that who is involved in this matter, and can only consider himself unlucky.
Nichizen is very strict about the laws on food and beverages. Once there is a problem in the control of the catering, it will cause bad consequences.
Then the store is at the end of its rope.
There is generally only one result, and that is to go out of business.
Sakura Ryokan is no exception, as the food poisoning incident has had a very bad impact on the local area.
Local television stations continued to report on it, and local residents instinctively boycotted the hostel.
Sakura's grandfather was already in poor health, and under the double pressure of body and spirit, he was overwhelmed and finally completely went to a dead end.
After Sakura's grandfather died, the Sakura Hotel was closed for nearly half a year.
Growing up in a hostel, Sakura has a lot of affection for it, and she doesn't want to see the inn close forever due to a pure accident.
After the turmoil subsides, Sakura decides to carry on her grandfather's legacy and is determined to make the inn flourish again.
However, the reality is brutal.
Because of the bad events of the year, Sakura Hotel's online booking business was blocked by the whole network.
Coupled with the word of mouth among the locals, the reputation of this hotel has fallen to the freezing point.
The reopened Sakura Inn's business has plummeted, and it is not as good as it used to be.
No matter how hard Sakura tried to make food, there were almost no customers.
Ten days and a half months may only be for one or two travelers.
For example, Bai Xiaobai is the only tourist who came in November.
According to Sakura, the hotel can't make ends meet, and it can't support itself, so it's already contacting buyers.
After the house is sold, Sakura plans to go to live with her grandmother in the east longitude.
After listening to Sakura's story, although Bai Xiaobai's face was as calm as water, he was deeply sympathetic in his heart.
Food safety issues can be big or small.
If it causes collective food poisoning, the hotel will definitely not escape responsibility, but it is still shocking to resist a mistake of a hotel to this extent.
Of course, from the perspective of travelers, it is understandable.
After all, when you come out to travel, you are trying to relax and relax, and there have been big events, so it is better to live less.
Bai Xiaobai is not very taboo about this.
When he listened to Sakura's story, he had already swept away all the dishes on the table.
Bai Xiaobai ate Japanese food for the first time in his life, and felt that the overall feeling was not bad, and compared with Chinese cuisine, it was a different flavor.
Sakura cleaned up the dishes.
The hotel that grew up since childhood, after all, has feelings, and it is difficult to give up feelings.
Bai Xiaobai could see a hint of loneliness in Sakura's eyes.
It's just that in this case, Bai Xiaobai doesn't seem to be able to help much.
"By the way, does the hostel have iFi?" Bai Xiaobai immediately changed the subject.
After eating and drinking, he wanted to go online.
"Yes, the password is on the wall. Sakura changed her decadence and smiled as she gestured to a small paper frame on the wall, then slowly exited the room after cleaning up the dishes.
Bai Xiaobai was left alone in the room.
He lay on his back on the tatami mat, rubbed his bulging frog belly, and chatted with the system with his mind while logging into iFi.
"System, where is the Kirin Black Spot Knife, can you reveal a little bit in detail, the area around Mount Fuji is too vast, I only have seven days, I guess I can't find it. ”
