Volume 5, The Three Realms of the Stars and the Moon _ Chapter 35, Oden and Skewers
"Didn't my grandfather embarrass you?"
"No, I'll go first, I've been bothering for a long time." I stood up and wanted to leave, but it was getting late, and my stomach was rumbling.
"Are you hungry? Then stay and eat. She seemed to want me to stay for dinner, and even smiled unconsciously.
"No, besides, your cook should rest at such a late hour." I really didn't want to stay here to eat, so I refused vigorously.
"Don't bother, they're on call 24 hours a day, you come with me. If I let you go back hungry, then Brother Junyan will be angry with me, come on......" At this time, Yoshiko Ashiya seemed to have less of the feeling of a big lady, but a little more cheerful and agile like a girl in her twenties.
The dining room of the Ashiya family is probably larger than an entire house in many people's homes, with a very high floor, estimated to be six or seven meters, and from time to time you can see patrolling bodyguards walking around the house, and the house is guarded by an onmyoji. There was a table clock in the corner, and soon it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the clock struck twenty times in a row. At this moment, a large group of people came out of it. Each had a plate in their hands, and in a moment twelve dishes were laid down in front of me. Although the chefs still looked a little tired, they did not show a look of disgust, perhaps they were used to it. Plates filled with exquisite dishes, and a maid poured me a glass of wine.
"Taste it, it should all be delicious." Yoshiko Ashiya pulled out her chair and sat aside, looking at me expectantly.
"I can't eat so many ...... alone," I looked at the delicately presented works of art, but suddenly lost my appetite.
"It doesn't matter, that's how I usually eat anyway. Our whole family pays attention to not wasting, my grandfather ate very little every day, but he took good care of me, I had to eat a lot of delicious dishes every day, but I couldn't finish it, and left the rest for them to eat. Taste it, this tempura is delicious. "Maybe it's because she's been in contact with me for a while, or maybe it's because Junyan has come back for a while, and I feel that her Chinese seems to be getting better and better.
"Hmm......" I took a bite of the chopsticks, which was delicious, but I didn't continue to eat.
"Hurry up and eat your fill, and then tell me the story of your adventures." At this time, Xiao Nizi said the reason why she was so attentive to me, it turned out that she wanted to hear me tell a story.
I smiled and took a sip of water, and after thinking about it, I suddenly said, "You Japan...... Is there a place to? β
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Yoshiko Ashiya looked at me with a surprised face, and she didn't even understand what a masturbation was.
"What is masturbation...... Skewer? "Based on her days of learning Chinese, I guess I don't know what these two words mean, and I guess Guangmo Huimei may not know."
"It's just meat on a stick and it's cooked and eaten, you know?" I explained to her in as simple words as possible, and then Yoshiko Ashiya nodded with a look of understanding and began to ask the cooks at home in Japanese, but when I saw that all of them were shaking their heads, I guess these cooks are used to high-end crafts, and snacks are not smooth.
"They won't ......," Yoshiko Ashiya said, a little embarrassed.
"Is there a shop like this in the neighborhood? If not, then I'll say goodbye first, it's not that your chef's dishes are not delicious, it's really not to my appetite. β
"Don't, wait...... I know, I know......"
A few minutes later, the two of us got out of the door of the Ashiya house in the car. At this time, in one of the bedrooms of the Ashiya family, the old man of the Ashiya family happened to hear a report that we had gone out, but he just waved his hand, did not stop or object, as if he had expected it.
Our car stopped after ten minutes, and then she pulled me into a small car parked on the side of the road nearby, it was a wooden cart, which looked like a small faΓ§ade, with a curtain on it, and white smoke was rising from the top of the car.
When I lifted the curtain, I saw that it was actually a small food and drink shop, with a few chairs placed around the wooden cart, and a large cauldron on the wooden cart, and all kinds of skewers were squatting in the pot.
"Jerking?" Yoshiko Ashiya thought that this was what I meant by masturbation.
I smiled and shook my head and said, "No, this is boiled meat skewers, which is what you Japanese call oden, I know but it's different from our skewers, our skewers are grilled, barbecue understand?" β
She was stunned for a moment, her expression was a little deflated, and then she suddenly thought of something and pulled me to say, "I know there is a barbecue restaurant near here that is still open, let's go there to eat." β
But this time I didn't move, smiled and said, "No need, just here, I've always been curious about this kind of roadside oden in Japan, so let's eat this." β
"Would you like to eat? That's good......" She began to order, and after a while, it was shochu and ramen, and the owner was a chubby Japanese man with a sweat towel tied to his head, an apron, and a smile on his face.
"This ramen is good, haha, it's better than instant noodles." Before I ate authentic Japanese ramen, I always thought that Japanese ramen was similar to the instant noodles we eat in China, but now that I eat them, I realize that these two things are actually different.
"Why don't you eat it? I think you didn't have dinner. "I ate with relish and was intrigued by this characteristic snack.
"Me? I'll forget it......" she waved her hand repeatedly.
"Why? Not hungry? I laughed, and although she said that she was not hungry, her body was still very honest, and I motioned to the boss to get her a few strings of oden. Yoshiko Ashiya said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "I, I haven't eaten anything outside since I was a child. Even if I go to a restaurant, my family has been there, so I'm not sure if this kind of place is something for a living. β
"Miss, didn't I try it for you? It's definitely not poisonous, don't worry. Otherwise, you can drink some wine, I remember that the Japanese can drink bars at the age of 20, you should be already 20. β
"I'm nineteen ......," she said before she could finish her stomach and bark again, and at my instigation she finally tried the street stall, but the girl's eyes began to light up as soon as she took a bite, and then she devoured it, and the oden was called one after another, and the wooden sticks on the table were piled up one by one, and the boss did not cook as fast as she ate.
"Delicious?" My boss and I were dumbfounded, Yoshiko Ashiya looked skinny and small, but it really didn't taste ambiguous.
"Well, it's delicious, I haven't eaten any of these, you know? It's just fresh......" she said and asked for several more strings.
I smiled and said, "If you go to China with me, you will probably starve to death when you go back to Japan after eating all the Chinese food, haha." β
After eating and drinking, I poured a glass of wine, lit a cigarette, my body was warm and my heart was a little more stable, I heard the occasional sound of vehicles on the road not far away, and sometimes passers-by, the boss looked at us with a smile, the wooden car under the curtain was warm and safe, and people seemed to be happy all of a sudden.
"Alright, I'm full, it's time for you to tell the story!" Yoshiko Ashiya said, grabbing me.
"What story? Didn't Jun Yan tell you all last time? I shrugged.
"What Brother Jun Yan said last time was just a rough process, I want to listen to the details, huh...... Let's tell me what happened to you under that temple in the first place, no, I want to hear if you ever killed anyone. When was the first killing? She grabbed me and asked with a smile.
"The first time you killed someone? That's a long time, the first time I killed someone was when I was 20 years old, and I killed you Japanese, or a senior of the former Li family, and it was because of this that I met the former Li Yulang, and I also went to prison because of this incident, and at that time I thought that my life might have no future. I smoked a cigarette and started to tell her the story quietly, and the boss was Japanese so he couldn't understand our conversation at all.
After a long night of chatting, when the nighttime came, the bodyguard came up to urge, and she realized that it was time to go back.
"It's time for me to go, next time...... I'll come back to you to listen to the story when I have a chance. Yoshiko Ashiya asked meaninglessly.
"Okay, I should go back too. By the way, what about the ring you wore last time we met for the first time? β
