Episode 17 In the middle of this festival......

In fact, the original summer festival was held on August 15, and it was a traditional Japanese festival. In this heavenly politics. The government will hold a memorial procession. Many performances are held in the prefecture and its folk associations, and people put on beautiful kimono yukata robes and go shopping, shopping, and participating in entertainment activities, which is called a garden in China.

In addition, the surrounding stores will be decorated for various special events on this day. The primitive custom of this temple fair originally came from China, and later spread to Japan, and combined with the local culture of Japan, there are various memorial activities today, and gradually formed Japan's own national cultural characteristics.

But the city's festival is fundamentally different from the summer festival, and the biggest difference is the highlight of the last day.

Looking ahead, there were two closest roads to the other side of the river, one was a suspension bridge built not far away, and the other was a concrete bridge for vehicles to pass through.

Judging from the current number of tourists, there are a lot of people on either side, so it is a good choice to choose the nearest suspension bridge.

"There are a lot of tourists on both sides, so let's go over the suspension bridge."

Sayou said this, and everyone did not object, after all, the path chosen by Sayou was a shortcut, and the reason for refutation did not exist, and there were slightly fewer people on the other side of the suspension bridge.

Advance through the crowds, grab the closest person to you in order not to get separated, and meet at the other exit of the suspension bridge.

Looking around, the little sister's petite body almost disappeared in the crowd, so Sayou asked her to grab her left hand, and Xiangxian walked with Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan was beside her.

Others should have no problem, right? Looking around, everyone I know is there, and so far there is no dispersion in the location.

"It's just that there are so many people today, I remember that you don't like this situation, so you will invite everyone out to play."

"That's not right, Miss Lin Xuan. I really don't like crowded places, but that doesn't mean I can't accept it, it's fun to hang out with everyone, and don't get separated from me, do you have a phone? ”

"Yes, how can you not bring the phone, don't run around the incense strings, it's very dangerous to move around on the suspension bridge."

There are also many people passing through the suspension bridge, but there is a limit to the number of people who can shake it casually.

But let's talk about the most troublesome people who are separated. There is no doubt that it is the little sister next to me, this sister who wears a cheongsam to participate in the festival is a person who does not bring a mobile phone and is not very good at using a mobile phone.

"Brother...... The head is a little dizzy...... Upset stomach...... Is this the legendary drawbridge effect? ”

"I think you're just not used to it...... The drawbridge effect isn't about wanting to vomit. ”

"Ahh..................h Ah, there are two older brothers......"

"Cheer up, little sister! Cheer up! Come, this is bayberry juice brought out of the hotel. ”

Sayou handed the bayberry juice to the little sister and let her take a sip while moving along the crowd, and her slightly pale face was much better.

I really don't understand the attributes of the two younger sisters, does walking on the suspension bridge also cause discomfort?

Instead of continuing to dwell on this issue, Sayou took the little sister's hand. Then grabbed Lin Xuan and the two of them quickly came to the exit at the other end of the suspension bridge, waiting for the people behind them at the exit position.

Zuoyou, his two younger sisters and Lin Xuan were the first to enter the suspension bridge, so it was the fastest to say it, and now it was just waiting for the others.

It didn't take long. Miss Alice and Qiqi Valley walked out of the crowd, and the two of them didn't seem to have changed, it seems that they are used to this situation, or that they have to face a lot of people at work, right?

"Oops. I didn't expect that there were still quite a lot of people at this festival, did Brother Sayou become fond of this lively atmosphere? You're not a cold character? ”

"What is Gao Leng's character, I have never had that kind of attribute. Is Miss Alice okay? Here are some juices ready for you. ”

No, Miss Alice shook her head, and with her visor on her visor she smiled, a mature smile that showed that this thing could easily be carried on.

Sayu gave up the idea of taking a drink from the small bag he was carrying, and continued to focus on the exit, and after a while, three figures rushed out of the crowd.

Jiushi, Yiye, and Day, the faces of the three of them are similar to those of little sisters, a little pale, probably because they feel uncomfortable in the crowded crowd.

Sometimes you do feel dizzy when there are a lot of people, after all, the noisy and hot atmosphere can make people feel a little uneasy.

"Almost, I'm going to be killed by someone else......"

Jiushi put his hand on his chest and exhaled heavily, what the hell happened on the suspension bridge just now.

"Jiushi, in fact, walking on the edge of the suspension bridge is the most efficient way, but it is possible to be squeezed out of the protective net, this must be noted, just ......"

It's better not to ask what's going on.

Wiping a little sweat from her forehead during the day, she wiped her cheeks with a wet tissue and used her hand as a fan to drive away the heat.

"Next time you encounter this situation, you can hold hands! Otherwise, it will be squeezed away like a ball by some tall uncles. ”

Hey? Is there a person like that on the suspension bridge?

Just as Sayou was wondering, a voice came from overhead, it was Hanazumi sitting on her folded shoulder, and she was waving to herself.

"Oops, oops, it's too dangerous to carry Hua Ling-chan through the crowd, so let Hua Ling-chan ride the neck, otherwise I'm worried that I'll be forced to squeeze it away!"

"Sister Luo's strength is also very great, Hua Ling feels that after people become taller, the world is under control."

The little girl talked about mastering the world, and all in all, everyone had passed the 'first trial', and then set off for the main venue of the festival.

The main venue of the festival was set up in another place because the traffic there was more convenient, and there was no need to worry about troublesome traffic jams.

Passing through a small flat ground, a huge sign appeared in front of everyone's eyes - "Welcome to the Firefly Festival, please enjoy the summer to the fullest!] 】

"It feels good, it's funny, I haven't been to a festival for a long time, and I used to sleep alone on the sofa and watch the live broadcast of the festival through the guò barrage website. Some curses are being applied. ”

"I don't think there's one factor that Miss Oriori doesn't have to mention."

Luo Zhi put down the flower bell, and in the face of Sayou's complaint, Luo Fold just patted Sayou's shoulder with 'mmmmmm'.

The entrance to the festival is flanked by green bushes, and above it is a dome of false trees, which makes you feel cool.

Loud noises came from inside, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving.

Let's go, even if Sayu didn't say so, everyone took a step.

Surprisingly, after entering, the first thing I saw was not a traditional show. It's running water somen noodles.

The so-called flowing water somen noodles are made by cutting the longitudinal surface of the bamboo in half, filling the groove with water to let the noodles flow downstream, and diners wait on both sides of the bamboo, intercept and pick it up with chopsticks, and dip it in bonito sauce to eat.

The popularity is not bad, it says that it only costs 300 yen per person, and the price is much cheaper than expected.

"I think the birthplace of flowing water somen was Karafune-kyo in Kamisaki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and its ancestor was the 'Senho House' in Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture. In the end, it became an event that could be held everywhere. ”

"You know that, too? Iye. ”

"Of course, Mr. Sasuke, I still remember that the longest flowing surface in the world record is in Fukuchi Town, Fukuoka Prefecture, and the 2,345-meter flowing surface event was established on July 20, 08, but a mass of noodles flowed about 2 kilometers. This is very strange......"

"Strange, what's wrong?"

First, Iya's conversation with Sayu caught the attention of the others. Maybe they're just a little interested in the somen itself.

"2345 meters is not the necessary length at all, and the main function of running water somen noodles is to provide flowing water somen noodles for participants to eat, right? To put it bluntly, it is flowing water somen that makes people eat running water somen noodles. Otherwise, it's not flowing water somen noodles, just like a firearm that can be shot is a firearm, so when a 2,345-meter-long passage is put into flowing water somen noodles, can all participants eat it? The participants at the end of 2345 meters can't eat the running water at all, right? Then the flowing water somen itself is not established, and the excess part should not be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. ”

"The master is right, this point is really gentle, in order to let everyone eat running water somen noodles, the length should be reduced."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Jiushi's words made Yi Ye smile a little wry, but he nodded at the end.

"All in all, everyone can eat the best."

Sayou touched his chin, then pointed to the flowing water in front of him and said

"It's not expensive anyway, I'll treat you this time, and everyone will taste it."

Although Sayu has seen it in movies and anime, he has never actually eaten it once.

After paying the money from the boss, everyone received a pair of chopsticks and a glass bowl, the bamboo passage was fifty meters long, and at the source was a girl who was putting somen noodles into the water.

Everyone stood in the middle and back part, but the girl with the turban was very fast, and many of them flowed to the back.

"And so much more!!"

The Hooded Girl said, her slightly tanned skin making her look unusually healthy.

When you put the somen noodles flowing in front of you in a bowl with bonito sauce, dip them in a little bit, and put them in your mouth, the light noodles have a salty taste, which is very good.

Due to the speed of the somen hair and the number of people, the noodles can be sandwiched even at the end of the line, and 300 yen is enough for a full meal.

Of course, Sayu didn't eat much, after all, there were more interesting things on this festival.

"Ahh......h

Qiqi River Valley, whose face suddenly deteriorated, sat on the side of the dishes and chopsticks, and he looked groggy.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why, I suddenly got dizzy, could it be because of the cold beer I drank last night?"

"I took him to take a rest, and told you not to drink cold things, this is deserved, and it is also asking for trouble."

Miss Alice said this, and walked over with the Seven Seven River Valley to the place where the tourists rested.

The two of them should be following after they leave the group, so let's move on.

After eating the somen noodles, the crowd enters the center of the festival, which is flanked by shops and stalls, and in the middle of the main street you can see many performers performing, and some carrying portable shrines in a procession with tablets of local deities.

"Ah, I found it."

Just like last time, Jiushi was very interested in the gadgets and games in the stall, and this eldest lady, who was originally ignorant of the world, has gradually grown up and begun to touch things that she has little or no contact with.

Jiushi said that the stall he found was actually a goldfish fishing stall, where a few children and two or three big sisters were playing, and Jiushi also ran over.

"Master, master, it's time to test the results of the previous training."

"Come on, Jiushi."

When did you ever practice catching goldfish?

Jiushi bought a paper net for catching goldfish, and then stared at the fish pond in front of him very seriously.

"Let's try it too, brother."

"Try ......"

"That's fine."

Seeing that the two younger sisters wanted to try it, Hua Ling also followed.

At once, four people joined the goldfish fishing team, and Yi Ye stood next to Jiushi to command.

"The most important thing is not speed, but patience and calmness, as the so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, just imagine these goldfish as Sayou-sensei, scoop them out and throw them into the pot."

Very obvious malice!

Jiushi stared at the fish pond seriously, her first shot was on the far left, ready to force the goldfish into the corner and scoop it out.

Unfortunately, due to the slow shot, the goldfish slipped under the paper net.

"The third!"

"Article 5 ......"

On the other hand, Zuoyou's two younger sisters are very powerful, relying on the super close cooperation of the two people, forcing the goldfish to the easiest place to catch in the bag, and the success rate is quite high.

"Can I join too?"

"No problem!"

Xiangxian asked Hua Ling to block it from the other side, and the goldfish was quickly fished up by the three of them in turn.

The corner of the manager's eyes twitched slightly, and the efficient way of catching goldfish was really terrifying.

"Enough of you......"

Sayu gently grabbed Xiangxian's ear, and then asked the little sister to put the paper net down.

"There's something else to do, so keep exploring."

"Yes, brother!"

That's pretty obedient.

Let's talk about the results, Jiushi still didn't succeed in catching the goldfish in the end......

"Sayo-sensei."

"Huh?"

Sayou was stopped by Iya on the way, and she asked in a voice that only Sayu could hear

"Teacher Zuoyou, how did you train your two younger sisters' goldfish fishing skills?"

“…………”

How to say it, in this aspect, Iya is still quite cute. (To be continued......)
