465. When a player is unhappy, it's okay to be a referee
It is not difficult to imagine the amount of effort and time it took to create such a gorgeous yet functional piece of artifice.
Since there are such things as armor, of course, weapons are also indispensable.
Knives, bows, arrows, knives, spears, and other cold weapons commonly used in ancient Japan were displayed at the booths.
Everything is carefully polished and extremely well maintained, shining in the sunlight with a cold and cold light, with an invisible aura of slaughter.
Of course, the most popular Japanese samurai sword is the most representative.
When Shuhei saw the katana of different lengths, he couldn't help but think of the Tibetan moon that Yoshihara Kazuhito gave him.
Ever since I admired the well-made Tibetan moon on the plane, I basically haven't taken it out again when I arrived in Tokyo, and I have always kept it in my hotel suite.
It seems that you can take it out and play with it when you have time, so as not to disappoint the good intentions of Master Yoshihara Kazuhito.
As soon as he thought of this, a slightly muffled voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Ah...... Zhou Sang?"
Zhou Ping heard the voice behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a little old man in his fifties standing behind him with a surprised face.
Zhou Ping really didn't expect that he had just been talking about the Tibetan Moon, and in the blink of an eye, he would meet its creator, Kazuhito Yoshihara!
Where don't we meet in life!
Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fate is really wonderful.
"Hello, Mr. Yoshihara, I didn't expect to see you in Nagoya, what a coincidence!" Zhou Ping waved with a surprised smile on his face.
"Hehe, that's right, I didn't expect to meet Zhou Sang here! Are you here for a tour?" said Yoshihara Kazuhito with an old smile like an orange blossom.
"Oh, I came here with a friend to have some business, and I happened to pass by here, and I was attracted by the exhibition here. Zhou Ping pointed behind him and said.
Yoshihara Kazuhito nodded: "Soude Temple! I saw your back at the booth before, but I didn't quite confirm it, so I came to say hello, but I didn't expect it to be you!"
Elena and Vic, who were beside Zhou Ping, were puzzled when they saw this scene.
Vic took the initiative to ask, "Zhou, this old gentleman is your friend?"
Zhou Ping nodded and introduced: "Well, this is Mr. Yoshihara Kazuhito." We met on that flight in San Francisco!"
As for what happened to the San Francisco flight in Zhou Ping's mouth, Vic and Elena certainly knew very well.
At the time, it was making headlines in the United States.
Although Zhou Ping suppressed this matter through the relationship between Feng Zhiwei and others, reducing his exposure, it also attracted the attention of many people, especially friends such as Vic.
Zhou Ping also informed them of the thrilling air crash under their concerned inquiry.
It can be said that the two know much more about the whole incident than ordinary people.
"Zhou Sang, are these two friends your partners?"
Hearing Yoshihara Kazuhito ask about Vic and Elena beside him, Zhou Ping also gave a brief introduction to each other.
"Elena, Vic, this Mr. Yoshiwara Kazuhito is a famous Japanese knife maker, with exquisite knife making skills that ordinary people can't match!"
"Mr. Yoshihara, these two people are my friends and partners! ”
After introducing each other, the two sides also politely greeted each other.
At this time, Zhou Ping remembered the cold weapon exhibition in front of him, so he asked Yoshihara Kazuhito: "Mr. Yoshihara, are you also here to participate in this cold weapon exhibition?"
Hearing Zhou Ping's question, Yoshihara Kazuren said with a smile: "That's right, Zhou Sang, in fact, today's cold weapon and sufficient display are mainly exchanges between several of our craftsmen. ”
He paused, organized the language behind and continued: "As modern weapons become more and more advanced, cold weapons are gradually coming to an end, and they are only used in a small area, and they are extremely limited. ”
This is something that makes those of us who have dedicated our lives to the manufacture of cold weapons feel strongly uneasy. We fear that the skills that have been handed down for countless generations will eventually end in the hands of our generation and disappear into history. ”
"So, a few of us craftsmen wanted to re-show the ancient cold weapons to modern young people, so that they can feel that in the history of Japan, cold weapons once exuded dazzling brilliance!"
"If possible, you can also develop some friends who really like cold weapons, so that these things can retain some soil suitable for survival. That's why we have this exhibition near Atsuta Jingu Shrine today!"
After listening to Yoshihara Kazuhito's words, Zhou Ping nodded and looked at the knife-making master in front of him with some respect.
He noticed that when Kazuhito Yoshihara mentioned cold weapons, there was a frenzy in his eyes that should only appear in the eyes of young people.
However, then a look of loneliness appeared on his face.
It's complicated, but it's also determined!
Although Zhou Ping only had a few words of conversation, he felt in Yoshihara Kazuhito that as a craftsman, in the face of the rapid development of science and technology, there was a trace of loneliness in his heart, and of course, there was the persistence of never giving up!
Kazuhito Yoshihara is a true craftsman.
At the same time, he is also a person to admire!
Becoming friends with such a person, Zhou Ping feels very meaningful.
"Well, Mr. Yoshihara's idea is very good, if there is a chance, we may also have the possibility of cooperation to show these ancient crafts in front of the world!" Zhou Ping nodded and said sincerely.
You must know that the history of small Japan is only a few years, and the history of the development of cold weapons in China can support a large museum.
Today, Yoshihara Kazuren met Zhou Ping, a life-saving benefactor, by chance, and he was on his own territory, of course, he had to do his best as a landlord and thank him.
So, Yoshihara Kazuhito graciously invited Zhou Ping and them to a very distinctive coffee house near his house to drink a cup of fragrant coffee and provide special snacks.
During this period, Yoshihara Kazuhito and Zhou Ping chatted about some topics about cold weapons.
Originally, Zhou Ping thought that Elena and Vic were not very interested in these things, and he was worried that they would be bored and would divert the topic if they wanted to talk casually.
didn't expect that during the conversation between him and Yoshihara Kazuhito, the two of them actually listened to it with relish.
And Zhou Ping could feel it completely, the two were really interested, and they also listened to their conversation.
In the end, Yoshihara Kazuhito also very warmly invited Zhou Ping to visit his home and his studio.
He even explained to Zhou Ping some of the process of making cold weapons.
Except for a small number of core technologies that have been passed down from generation to generation, other technological processes are not shy about Zhou Ping, and all questions must be answered......
Friday, October 19, 2018.
Although Elena and Vic are not very optimistic about the opening of the Oriental Culture Center in Nagoya, since they are here, they should have fun by the way.
Besides, there are a lot of things to see in Nagoya.
For example, although they passed by Atsuta Shrine yesterday, they didn't go in to visit it, so they decided to go to Atsuta Shrine today.
Guided by a guide, they visited the Grass Sword, one of the three sacred artifacts that symbolize the Emperor's succession to the throne, as well as the treasure hall inside the shrine.
On the first floor of the treasure hall, the trio browsed the collection of antiques and some valuable contemporary artworks.
Afterwards, they went to the second floor to view the precious classical texts and scriptures in the shrine.
After coming out of Atsuta Jingu, at Elena's suggestion, the three of them went together to experience the old buildings of Nagoya's Shikendo Old Town, and then went to the TV Tower in Hisaya Odori Park in the center of the city.
The 90-meter-high sky-high rotating loft offers a 360-degree view of downtown Nagoya.
Just as they were wandering around, Zhou Ping suddenly found a familiar figure.
Looking at it, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
That's right, it's indeed Watanabe Villager!
How could he be here?
Haven't the Watanabe villagers been running in a restaurant for a while?
With a hint of doubt, Zhou Ping couldn't help but step forward and greet Watanabe: "Hi, Mr. Watanabe, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Hearing someone shouting to him, and the voice was very familiar, Watanabe Murafu immediately turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came from.
The next moment, he was also stunned.
Not only did he find that his old acquaintance Zhou Ping was shouting about himself, but the two people around him also knew each other.
The day before yesterday, Zhou Ping took Vic and Elena to dinner in his shop, and also made a grand introduction to each other.
"Oh, Mr. Vic, Hello Miss Elena, why are you here? are you here to play, or is there something else?" asked Watanabe Murato, a little surprised.
"Hello, Mr. Watanabe!"
"Haha! I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"
Vic and Elena, who were following Zhou Ping, also politely greeted Watanabe Villager.
Vic speaks English, but Elena speaks Japanese.
Although the pronunciation is a bit less standard, there is absolutely no problem with communication.
Zhou Ping heard Watanabe Muramura ask this, and said casually: "Oh, I accompanied Vic and Elena here to do an investigation, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances every day, I met Mr. Yoshihara Kazuhito yesterday, and today I met Mr. Watanabe, you, it's really fate!"
Watanabe Murao smiled and said, "I just arrived this morning, because there is going to be a big stomach competition here, and I was invited to come and be a referee!"
As soon as Elena and Vic heard the Big Stomach King game, their eyes invariably looked at Zhou Ping.
"Hey, Zhou, you are also a big stomach king! It is said that some people think that you have what it takes to become the champion of the American Big Stomach. Elena said with a smile.
Vic also smiled and echoed: "Yes, you won the game in Las Vegas with undoubted absolute strength. ”
"Since you've met it, why don't you ...... I think you're not only the one who can become the king of the big stomach in the United States, but also the king of the world!"
Nima, people are showing their faces, why do you let me show my mouth, when I am really a rice bucket! Zhou Ping rolled his eyes angrily.
At this time, Watanabe Murato also remembered that Shuhei had also participated in the Big Stomach King competition in Las Vegas before, and he achieved very good results.
According to the news report on the website, not only did he eat a lot of hamburgers, but he also drank a lot of Coke, and won the championship of the big stomach king with a crushing result.
So, Watanabe Murafu also said to Zhou Ping with some emotion: "Mr. Vic and Miss Elena are right, Zhou San, can you consider going to participate?"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the three of them, Zhou Ping directly shook his head and refused!
At that time, it was a complete coincidence to participate in the Big Stomach King.
At that time, when Zhou Ping was chasing the clown, he happened to go to the scene of the Big Stomach King competition.
At the same time, it happened that he was proposed to him to participate in the competition, and Walker, the 24-hour convenience store guy, mistakenly thought that he was here to participate in the competition, so he showed off his appetite on stage and won the championship of the Big Stomach King.
Moreover, at that time, my body had just begun to change, and my need for food was also very large, so I took it as a free lunch, so I participated.
Now that I am not short of money, my body is no longer interested in those fast foods.
To be honest, with his current taste, it would be almost the same to eat more Kobe beef or sashimi or something, but if he still eats hamburgers, he has no appetite at all
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
With the continuous improvement of the quality of life, Zhou Ping's requirements for food are getting higher and higher, and he doesn't even look at fast food like hamburgers.
"Hehe, it's okay if you want me to be a referee, let me go to the competition!" Zhou Ping waved his hand.
After Watanabe's suggestion was rejected by Zhou Ping, he was slightly disappointed.
But then he thought of something again, and then said: "Okay, since Zhou Sang is unwilling to compete, then forget it." But you're talking about being a referee?"
"Hmm, Mr. Watanabe, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Ping asked, raising an eyebrow.
Watanabe Murafu laughed: "This time I'm here as the referee, if you want to add a referee temporarily, it's no problem at all!"
Touching his chin, Zhou Ping showed an interested smile, nodded and said, "Oh, if that's the case, you can really change your position and participate in this big stomach king competition! By the way, you can see the strength of the Japanese big stomach king!"
Then, Zhou Ping turned his head and asked Elena and Vic again, "Elena, Vic, are you two interested?"
"Of course!" Vic said with a smile on his face, "Since there is such a show, it must not be missed!"
"Zhou, that's what I mean!" Elena also smiled and agreed.
Zhou Ping clapped his hands and said, "Ok! Since that's the case, let's go and see this big stomach king competition together!"
