Uesugi Heisuke walked out of the campus and strode in the direction of Liao.

In Japan, dormitory means dormitory, and about five minutes away from school, Uesugi Heisuke came to a plain gray five-story building, which was where he lived.

Unlike Huaxia, which likes to put student dormitories on campus and strictly manage them, most schools in Japan have dormitories outside the campus, and they are mixed with men and women, and they can come and go freely.

Like a boy taking his girlfriend home to cook, pulling hands after eating, etc., are all common things in the dormitory.

I have to say that the relationship between men and women in Japan is really simple, just like we have to drink water every day, boys and girls go to the hotel, they have to pay half of the room rate, which is absolutely unimaginable in China.

Pushing open the door, the first floor is the common area and the students' mailboxes.

In Japan's old-fashioned society, you have to write a letter to open a bank account, you have to mail a notice for utility bills, and you have to mail an appointment card to buy a new figure, and it's hard for anyone to leave the postal system.

Uesugi Heisuke took out a few letters from the mailbox and went to the third floor while reading them.

Most of the letters are sales advertisements, nothing special, and one of the manga specialty stores in Nihonbashi will hold an author signing party to which Heisuke Uesugi is invited.

It's no secret that Tokyo's mecca for anime lovers is Akihabara, while in the Osaka area, Nihonbashi near Namba is the largest gathering place.

It's a pity that Nihonbashi has a strong two-dimensional atmosphere, but it is a little smaller, and it is not like Akihabara that has a surprising number of maid cafes.

Uesugi Heisuke's room is only 8.7 square meters, and in addition to a table, chairs and beds, there is a cupboard for clothes and luggage, and a small bathroom.

Facilities such as coin-operated laundry and kitchen are all outside in the common area, as is the fridge.

The monthly rent for such a dormitory is 37,000 yen, which is still in the Kansai area, and if you are in Tokyo, where land is expensive, it will cost about 50,000 yen.

Uesugi Heisuke opened the drawer, took out the envelope with the Japan Post Bank logo, and counted one of the stacks of banknotes on the table.

Seventeen pieces of 10,000 yuan, three of 1,000 yuan, and a few coins in his pocket, so that was all the savings saved by the previous owner of this body.

Uesugi Heisuke thought for a while, put the whole envelope into his arms, and muttered in a low voice: "As the old saying goes, money is a man's guts, although it is more than enough to spend 10,000 yen tonight, but as an adult, it is always okay to bring more money with you, and in case you meet your favorite young lady, you can't look too poor and sour." ”

Perhaps because of the huge amount of 170,000 yen in his pocket, when Heisuke Uesugi, who was wearing a cheap Uniqlo, looked in the mirror, he found that his figure seemed to be much taller, and he was more energetic.

Although digital currency is very convenient, Uesugi Heisuke still prefers the unique feel of paper money, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, heavy, really satisfying and reassuring.

Not only Japanese people have a habit of cleanliness, but also Japanese banks, and if they find that banknotes are slightly worn, they will immediately recycle them.

Therefore, the yen circulating in the market is almost always brand new, and it looks clean, snapping, and exudes the unique aroma of ink.

With such a beautifully printed brand new 10,000 yuan bill, grab a stack, weigh it, and stuff it into a wallet.

Leaving the village, Uesugi Heisuke headed for the subway station, took the Osaka Municipal Subway Midosuji Line, and got off at Shin-Imamiya Station.

Just a few hundred meters to the north, there is the popular attraction of Tsutenkaku, which is full of tourists, and almost all Chinese tourists will go to Tsutenkaku to check in when they come to Osaka.

However, visitors may never know that just across the road to the south is Nishinari Ward, the largest slum in Japan.

and the Nitta Enclave, the largest and most traditional nightlife area in the entire Kansai region and the most traditional in Japan, which still retains the atmosphere of the Edo shogunate era.

Heisuke Uesugi glanced at the Seiko watch he wore on his right hand, he was not actually left-handed, but he was used to wearing the watch on the right.

The appointed time has come, but the uncle still hasn't appeared.

After another ten minutes, a middle-aged man with a beard and a lazy expression came to the crowd, and Uesugi Heisuke waved his hand to him.

When the distance was close, the middle-aged man who didn't wake up smiled and said, "Heisuke, do you have two hundred yen change on you?" ”

Uesugi Heisuke was slightly stunned and looked at him vigilantly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm a little thirsty, I want to buy a drink from the vending machine, and I just don't have any change." The uncle looked at a row of vending machines not far away and bowed his chin.

Uesugi Heisuke looked around and frowned, "The vending machines here are too expensive, even the mineral water costs 120 yen, let's go to the south, the vending machines in Nishinari Ward only cost 50 yen, and the izakaya we will go to later is also in that direction." ”

"There's a 50 yen vending machine?" The uncle showed an incredible look and said, "I've never seen such a cheap price in my life, you shouldn't lie to me, right?" ”

Uesugi Heisuke was also speechless, he sighed and said, "Uncle, as a native of Osaka, you don't even know that prices in Nishinari Ward are low?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, there are not only the cheapest vending machines in Japan, but also the cheapest Tamide hypermarket in Japan, so if you're short of money, you can come here to buy vegetables, meat, tissues, drinks, instant noodles, and the price is only half of that of other places, so you can save a lot of money over time."

Uesugi Heisuke muttered bitterly, and the uncle followed behind him, nodding his head again and again, as if he was interested in this slum.

The uncle's name is Hojo Shimizu, who is almost forty years old this year, and is a drama actor that Uesugi Heisuke met when he was working at the Sakurai Theater.

Once, Uesugi Heisuke occasionally chatted with the proprietress Katsumi Sakurai, only to learn that when Uncle Shimizu was young, he was once popular in the idol world, but unfortunately an avalanche accident buried his wife and daughter.

Uncle Qing Shui, who was hit hard, has been in a state of collapse since then, drinking at home all day, and his body and mind are becoming more and more exhausted.

Idols eat youth, and in a blink of an eye, Uncle Qing Shui is over thirty years old, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes can no longer be hidden, so the agent and the acting company gave up their plans to persuade him to make his debut again and let him sink.

Maybe deep down I still like acting, after Uncle Shimizu left the idol world, he went to Sakurai Theater and starred in various stage plays.

When Uesugi Heisuke first saw Uncle starring in Shakespeare's masterpiece [Macbeth], he was shocked, and felt that this uncle's acting skills could score 80 points, and he could completely rank among the first-rate levels of contemporary Japanese entertainment industry.

It's a pity that he is usually sloppy and likes to drink, so it seriously affects his personal image, but if you look closely, you can still find a handsome face from the thick beard stubble.

All in all, Uesugi Heisuke felt that Uncle Shimizu was the first choice to star in "Lonely Gourmet", so he took great pains to invite him to drink.

After all, the drama "Lonely Gourmet" is too much of a test of the leading actors' acting skills, and ordinary actors are simply not enough to play the role.

All fans who pay attention to this drama should know very well that Uncle Gorou starring Yutaka Matsushige is so amazing, it is no exaggeration to say that if there is no wonderful play of Uncle Yutaka Matsushige, the viewing of lonely gourmets will be discounted by at least 5%.
