Eastern capital, Chang'an City.

In winter, Chang'an City has lost its leaves, but the ancient charm of the city is still there.

A couple of elderly people, accompanied by two adults, visit the city.

"Father, this city is really beautiful, we really came to the right place this time." A man in his sixties said in Japanese.

"Chang'an Mo is on the infinite tree, and there is only the weeping willow road to part. Walking in this city, I seem to have traveled through time and space, and this time I came to Chang'an City, even if I die, I will be blinded. The old man with long eyebrows and white hair said.

"Old man, don't say such unlucky things, are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat. Said a scrawny old woman, who was the old man's wife.

"I just saw a Ming country restaurant, let's go." A man in his thirties said.

"Okay, just go there."

This is an inconspicuous storefront in Chang'an City, a few plum blossoms are blooming in front of the door, two foreign tourists are taking pictures, the door sign reads "Chang'an Fuling Noodle Restaurant", and a vertical sign reads "500-year-old shop." ”

They walked in, as soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew into the house, the house was as warm as spring, as soon as they entered the house, they heard the kind voice of the shopkeeper Sun Yunzhong: "Welcome! ”

When a few Japanese guests walked into the restaurant, they saw that the restaurant was full of Tang style, and it was a little more historical than Japan. Inside the restaurant, there are several tables of customers eating hot ramen.

Four Japanese guests sat in one seat, and then a girl wearing a bright yellow Ming Hanfu and combing two balls came to the guests. "Welcome, this is the menu, what do you want to eat?"

The old man looked at the wooden signs on the wall, all of which were written with the names of the dishes in traditional Chinese characters. In addition to various flavors of ramen, there are also sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, japonica porridge, goose paws, chanterelle rolls, crab dumplings, pheasant feet, duck porridge and other delicacies.

The four guests finished ordering, and after a while. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl brought it up. The old man said something to the young man. The man said to the girl in Chinese: "Are you an employee of this store?" Looks very young. ”

The girl smiled slightly, revealing two sweet dimples: "This is from my family, and I will help my family do some work during the winter vacation." ”

The old man said a few words in Japanese, then gave the girl a thumbs up. The man laughed, "You're great." ”

The family ordered the Tusu wine of the Ming Kingdom, and then praised it while using the meal, the ingredients and methods of this Ming cuisine are really a must, and everyone thinks it is particularly delicious.

After eating, it was decided to pay the bill. The owner of the shop, Sun Yunzhong, walked over, and several Japanese customers praised the owner's craftsmanship.

He smiled and asked, "Are you here to travel?" Or did you immigrate? ”。

The young man said in Chinese: "We are here for tourism. ”

"You are very filial, these are your parents, you look very old, how old are you?"

"Hehe, it's not my father, but for me, it's just as important as my father, he's 92 years old."

"I really can't see it. It's so good. Sun Yunzhong made an order and found that the total consumption was 48 gold yuan. Then the young man began to take out the money and handed it to Sun Yunzhong, and to his surprise, Sun Yunzhong erased 4 gold yuan.

This touched the Japanese in other countries. It's not bad if he wasn't slaughtered, but in Mingguo, he even wiped off the odds, bowed and thanked him, and Sun Yunzhong returned it with a hand salute. Let Japanese tourists feel that Mingguo is really China.

Before going out, Sun Yunzhong said: "Welcome to continue to visit our store next time you come to Mingguo." ”

Four Japanese guests were about to speak. At this time, several strangers from the Ming Kingdom came in outside the door.

"Prime Minister Murayama, hello." A young man walked up to the old man with a smile on his face, and bowed with his hands in a bow. "Welcome to the Ming Kingdom."

The three Japanese were also stunned, who was this person, and as soon as they came in, they recognized the old man as former Japanese Prime Minister Tomiyama Murayama.

Tomi Murayama is a former prime minister of Japan, the 81st prime minister of Japan, a rare leader of the pro-China faction in Japan, who has apologized for Japan's aggression against China many times, and is a friendly Japanese friend. Now 92 years old, he still rides his bicycle to the supermarket every day to buy groceries. Last year, he suffered from cataracts and had no money for treatment, so he was a very clear politician.

Murayama Fu forgot about this young man, and only felt that the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and suddenly the owner of the shop, Sun Yunzhong, shouted: "It's Your Majesty's coming." ”

At this moment, the guests of the small restaurant all turned their heads, and saw that it was indeed Zhu Wei, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. Then the atmosphere became warm.

The eyes of the young man who came with Murayama Fushi lit up, and he said a few words of Japanese to Murayama Fushi and acted as a translator, and Murayama Fushi remembered that this young man was the Ming Emperor he had seen on TV.

"Hello, I've always wanted to come to Mingguo to see, but I didn't expect to meet Your Majesty here, it's really fate." Murayama is the way. At the same time, he introduced the old woman who was traveling with him as her wife. The two young men are neighbors of Tomiya Murayama, Tomito Murayama has no children, and the man specially changed his surname to Toshito Murayama because he agreed with Tomito Murayama's political philosophy. He is a well-known barrister in Japan.

Zhu Wei smiled: "Does Prime Minister Murayama think this is a chance encounter?" I came to visit you on purpose. ”

Zhu Wei still has great respect for Japanese friends such as Murayama Fushi, although the Japanese are generally very bad, but there are still a few particularly kind and upright people, a former Japanese prime minister with such a great reputation, 92 years old came to the Ming Kingdom, Zhu Wei does not come out to express his attitude, it is not so much.

On August 15, 1995, the 50th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II, then Japanese Prime Minister Tomimi Murayama issued the famous "Murayama Statement," admitting that Japan had implemented a wrong national policy in the past and embarked on the road of war, and said that Japan would deeply reflect on history, draw lessons, and never repeat its past mistakes. For this reason, Murayama is also known as a "conscientious politician" in Japanese politics.

Since the beginning of this year, Shinzo Abe has been arrogantly saying that he wants to lift the ban on the right to self-defense, and Tomimi Murayama is a former prime minister who has courageously stood up against it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my family (wife) and I came to the Ming Kingdom just for personal reasons, I didn't want to alarm you, I saw His Majesty the Emperor come to greet you today, I and the family are really very grateful. Thank you, thank you" Prime Minister Murayama bowed several times in a row.

Zhu Wei also replied: "As soon as you enter the country, someone will come to report me, if it is convenient, I invite you to come to Xingqing Palace as a guest." ”

Prime Minister Murayama was of course very happy and very pleasantly surprised, so the group came to Xingqing Palace, and in the Nanxun Palace, everyone tasted tea together.

Japanese tourists think that the Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan is like a small birdcage compared to the Imperial Palace of the Ming Emperor.

The two of them talked about the prime minister's past, and then talked about the present of Prime Minister Murayama, who retired Murayama has no guards or secretaries. Now 92 years old, he usually rides his bicycle to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Although he was the prime minister of Japan, but he has no savings, he relied on medical insurance for medical treatment, he suffered from cataract last year, but when he learned that the operation to treat cataract costs 1 million yen (about 80,000 yuan), he shook his head, because cataract but not applicable to medical insurance, he has so much money at all.

Zhu Wei also talked about the history of the Ming Kingdom, the culture of the Ming Kingdom, and the political situation of the Ming Kingdom, which Prime Minister Murayama was interested in, and proposed that Prime Minister Murayama should receive free medical treatment in the Ming Kingdom.

Finally, at the time of separation, Zhu Wei presented Prime Minister Murayama with a box of Yingzhou jade liquor from the Ming Kingdom, as well as a box of "Daming Fenglu Tea" and a box of "Xiandao Fragrant Tea" as gifts.

The gifts given by Zhu Wei are very valuable, and the cataracts attached to the village and the mountain are reluctant to spend money, how can they spend money on these luxury goods.

The old couple was very happy and went with a thousand thanks. (To be continued......)
