Chapter 27: Shinjuku (Yesterday's Update)

"Brother Guangzhi, at which exit did you make an appointment with that Great Brave Monarch to meet? If Brother Guangzhi you can't be sure, then it's really difficult. ”

On the platform of Shinjuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line, Masami Akiyama said to Li Guangzhi with a difficult face.

"That, Masami, don't worry, you let me think about it carefully"

Li Guangzhi scratched the stubble on his chin with some trouble, trying to recall the conversation he had with Sun Dayong three days ago.

That day, he and Sun Dayong made an appointment to meet at Shinjuku Station at noon on Saturday, and when the meeting place was finally decided, Sun Dayong knew that he had never been to Shinjuku, so he grabbed him and chattered for a long time, eager to draw a map for him on the spot, which made him very disapproving.

As a result, after getting off the subway, he was dumbfounded when he looked at the passages extending from the platform in all directions, and the dense signs above the passages, pointing to at least a dozen exits.

Until just now, Masami told him that there are five floors above and below Shinjuku Station, and there are nearly 40 exits in total, and there are 17 common exits with the most people. If you can't be sure which exit it is, you may not be able to find the other person even if you look for it all day. Only then did he understand Sun Dayong's intentions at that time.

"Ah, Masami, I thought of it! It seems that he is talking about the exit of Odakyu Department Store! He thought about it for a long time, and finally turned out the name of the place from his memory.

"Really? Are you sure? After getting Li Guangzhi's confirmation, Yami breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Great, I've been to Odakyu Department Store a few times, and that exit is not very far from this platform, I'll take you there." ”

Li Guangzhi and Gao Dali stupidly followed behind Yami, walked through the crowded crowd for more than ten minutes, and finally reached the target exit.

After meeting up with Sun Dayong, who was waiting there, and learning that they had found the place thanks to Yami's guidance, Sun Dayong couldn't help but quip: "Brother Guangzhi, you were still impatient when I said to draw you a map, you were almost blind today, right?" Hehe, if it weren't for Miss Yami, we probably wouldn't have seen each other today! ”

"It's no wonder I didn't warn you in advance that Shinjuku Station is a place like this, not to mention a foreigner you've never been to before, even a lot of Tokyo locals often get lost here!"

Li Guangzhi smiled noncommittally, looked at Yami who looked smug on the side, and habitually patted her head and praised: "Yes, today is thanks to our Yami-chan!" ”

"Nasty! Brother Guangzhi, don't touch my hair, your hairstyle is messed up by you! Masami grumbled as she pushed his hand away with a look of disgust.

Masami's outfit today is completely different from the image of the students in the past. With her hair curled, light makeup, and a short skirt and black silk high heels, she looks like a white-collar girl who is about to participate in a social gathering.

Last night he told Masami to dress appropriately, meaning that a high school girl going to a place like Kabukicho Street had better wear more clothes and cover herself tightly. And since Masami had heard him say that he was going to Kabukicho Street to talk to people about business, she probably understood that "appropriate" to be dressed up a little more mature.

Yami's current dress, coupled with her extremely beautiful face, has suddenly become a scenery that attracts many eyes in this crowded department store.

Just now, as soon as they stopped talking, Li Guangzhi noticed that at least five or six men passing by were walking forward with their heads sideways because they were reluctant to take their eyes off the girl

Seeing this situation, he was a little secretly proud in his heart, but also a little helpless.

Judging by the current momentum, if you take this little beauty to Kabukicho Street at night, I don't know what trouble it will cause

"Brother Guangzhi, it's 12 o'clock, let's hurry up and eat barbecue!" Fang had been looking at Gao Dali of the beauty beside him, and it was estimated that after watching it for a long time, he found that the beauties who passed by were not as beautiful as the Yamei around him, and when he was bored, he remembered the barbecue meal that Li Guangzhi promised him.

Li Guangzhi glanced at Yamei, and saw that she also looked expectant, so he said to Sun Dayong: "Dayong, you are familiar with Shinjuku, let's find a barbecue restaurant with a good taste." Oh, and by the way, it's not too expensive! ”

This last sentence was something he had to add. With the amount of food he and Gao Dali, if they really enter the high-end restaurant here in Shinjuku, they are afraid that if they eat this meal, they will be able to eat him bankrupt.

"No problem, I just know that there is a time-honored restaurant nearby, which tastes good and the price is quite affordable." Sun Dayong replied very cheerfully.

So, under the leadership of Sun Dayong, the group walked towards the exit of the department store.

When you come out of the west exit of the Odakyu Department Store, you will find a crowd of skyscrapers not far away, and you will find the best of Shinjuku.

Sun Dayong said: "The area west of Shinjuku Station is the area with the highest concentration of high-rise buildings in the whole of Tokyo, and it is also the place with the highest concentration of large companies and enterprises. ”

"Look at that building, it's the Mitsui Foundation's building, it's grand enough, right? The dark building next to it is the Nomura Securities Building, the largest securities company in Japan! And the tallest building."

Just as Sun Dayong pointed to a building with a twin-tower structure and was about to make an introduction, Li Guangzhi interjected.

"Hey, I know this building if you don't say it, it looks like a rabbit with long ears, isn't it the famous Tokyo New Metropolitan Hall!"

The famous Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Li Guangzhi in his previous life has seen many times in Japanese dramas. At this time, although the angle of viewing is different from that on TV, he still recognizes it at a glance.

Speaking of which, the current Shinjuku is still very different from the Shinjuku he saw in film and television dramas in his previous life. For example, the spindle-shaped、Quite futuristic Mode School Park Cocoon Building,There is no trace of it now.。 And Scarlett. Shinjuku Park Tower, where Johnson's famous film "Lost in Translation" was filmed, and the Shinjuku Park Tower, where the Hyatt Regency Tokyo Garden Hotel is located, is still a scaffolding surrounded by a green cloth, and it seems that it will not be completed until '94.

In addition to these, some details of the streets of Shinjuku can also make him feel the difference of the times. For example, there is no NTTDoCoMo billboard on the street today. Also, the advertising girls on the large-scale advertising billboards are not the three advertising queens Fujiwara Norika, Nanako Matsushima and Kyoko Fukada that he is familiar with, but some female stars whose looks make him impressed, but they can't be named

The three of them followed Sun Dayong for about five or six minutes, and then they came to the intersection of a narrow side street, and when they looked into it, the short side street was densely packed with all kinds of izakaya and small restaurants full of traditional flavors.

Sun Dayong introduced: "This street is called Si い出し Heng, and when translated into Chinese, it should be called Xiao Heng Street full of memories. This is one of the most Edo-style snack streets in Tokyo. ”

Seeing the disapproving look on Li Guangzhi's face, he hurriedly added: "Of course, eating here is mainly because the price here is preferential and sufficient, which is much more affordable than those restaurants on the street outside!" ”

At this time, Masami interjected on the side: "This street seems to be quite famous, but this is usually a place where middle-aged Oji-san comes to drink after work, and I have never been there. Why don't we go in and have a look? I'd love to see it, too! ”

"Alright! Now that Miss Yami has spoken, let's eat here. Dayong, what about the barbecue restaurant you are talking about? Hurry up and lead the way! Li Guangzhi also felt a little hungry at this time, so he made a final decision.

The barbecue restaurant introduced by Sun Dayong is really more affordable. Although the environment of the restaurant is not very tidy, and the grilled iron mesh does not look so clean, the pork loin is really cheap for 900 yen, and the beef loin for 1,500 yen is considered a reasonable price.

There are two big stomachs here, Li Guangzhi and Gao Dali, and the four of them ate a full twenty plates of pork and ten plates of beef in one meal. Including beer and side dishes, it cost more than 40,000 yen. When the payment was finished, the proprietress who collected the money looked at Li Guangzhi with a worried look, and that expression was quite a bit like the meaning of the commoners in the Edo period when they saw the samurai.

After the meal, at Masami's strong request, the four of them spent the entire afternoon on the floors of various department stores in Shinjuku.

Keio, Mitsukoshi, Takashimaya, and Isetan went shopping until more than four o'clock in the afternoon. If Li Guangzhi hadn't forcibly dragged her out when he saw that the time was almost up, this little girl would probably have been able to walk around until the store closed.

When he came out of the last Isetan department store and sat down on a bench in a street park, even Li Guangzhi, who had endurance gold fingers, felt a little tired, but the girl Masami was still full of interest and unfinished. This made him sigh that there are indeed many incomprehensible miracles about the creature of women!

He asked the girl with some curiosity: "Yami, I see that you have been shopping all afternoon, and you have collected a lot of brochures from famous brand stores, but you have not bought anything, is it meaningful to go shopping like this?" ”

Although the girl is in good spirits at this time, her body is still a little tired. When she saw that there were no outsiders around, she kicked off her high heels very unladylikely, leaned sideways and laid her legs flat on the bench, sighed contentedly, and replied:

"Brother Guangzhi, how can you, the ideological Ojisan, understand? This is the daily life of our Japanese high school girls. ”

Seeing Li Guangzhi's confused face, she explained: "For high school girls in Tokyo, what new fun shops have opened in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro recently, which song is the latest popular in karaoke shops, and what new clothes have been put on in which brand store recently, these are all information we must have!" Otherwise, you will have no topic with others in the circle of friends, and it is easy to be isolated. ”

"I usually rely on reading fashion magazines to barely keep up with the discussions of my friends, but this time I finally came out, of course, I have to do a good job of intelligence gathering!"

Li Guangzhi, the ideological Ou Jisan, really couldn't quite understand what Yami said, he patted the girl's shoulder a little speechlessly, got up and walked to the side to smoke a cigarette.

He fumbled in his pocket, and then remembered that the last cigarette he had brought with him had been smoked in the smoking room of a department store.

He greeted the three people seated: "I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine over there, and I'll be back soon." ”

Sun Dayong said on the side at this time: "Hey, Brother Guangzhi, go together." I happened to be thirsty too, so I went to buy a bottle of water to drink. ”

After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his face to Maami, who was sitting, and said, "Miss Maami, do you want to go with me, I have a very wonderful trick here to show you, this is new information that your friends will never know." ”

--------------------------------------------------------

Seeing that someone in the book review area gave a reward, and someone voted a lot of recommendation votes to urge the change, I was not only happy in my heart, but also a little apprehensive.

I'm not a full-time writer, and although I'm not very busy at work, I do have a lot of chores. In addition, it was the first time to write a book, and he was not a talented player, so the speed of codewords was very slow.

I usually write a chapter of 3,500 words from eight to twelve o'clock in the evening, and if I want to write it, I often code it until two or three in the morning.

So, I can only promise you that I will do my best to keep improving, but if you want to speed up, I guess it will be difficult to do it in the near future. If you feel too tired of chasing, you might as well fatten up and then kill. I'm going to keep writing this book.

Finally, I would like to thank the "Love Thoughts" students who gave the reward, and also thank the "VistaFans" students who have been voting for them. According to the outline, my book should be at least 1.5 million words.
