23. A cage called "Kamurocho".
After walking a few or two streets, the two arrived at a ramen shop in a nondescript alley with a sign of "Kyushu Ichibanxing".
As soon as he entered the door, Makoto Kyushu smelled a rich fresh fragrance that made his stomach growl.
"Don't look at this shop is small and broken, in fact, the taste is much better than Ichiran ramen, and the price is also very cheap~" Liang Gong Chu winked and smiled:
"I come here every time I get off work and you're going to love the taste too!"
There were already a lot of diners sitting in the small shop, and the two of them chose a counter seat to sit down, and Suomiya Chu skillfully ordered two classic tonkotsu ramen.
Soon, the boss and uncle served two large bowls of white smoke noodle soup, and there were so many slices of pork barbecued pork that almost covered all the noodles.
"I'm moving!" Suzumiya grabbed the chopsticks and folded his hands together, and prayed before the meal in a cheerful tone.
Kyushu Makoto didn't care about this kind of red tape, and directly scooped up a large lump of noodles with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
The tenacious noodles mixed with the thick pork bone broth that almost lost his eyebrows poured into Makoto Kyushu's mouth, wantonly hitting his taste buds, and even made him feel the double satisfaction of taste and taste at the same time.
Kyushu Cheng tasted a slice of pork barbecued pork again, the meat is fatty but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and the taste is also fresh and salty, and there is a slight honey sweetness, which makes him, a lover of southern sweetness, very satisfied.
"This shop is really great!" Makoto Kyushu gulped the noodles and meat into his mouth, raised the bowl and drank the soup base in one gulp, until he saw the words "Honored Honor" printed on the bottom of the soup bowl, and then put down the bowl contentedly.
"That's right~ My recommendation must be right, after all, I've also worked in Kamurocho for two years~" Suzumiya Tsubaki slowly snorted the noodles and said proudly, "I haven't been to Ichiran since I found this shop." ”
When the boss behind the bar heard this, he smiled and boasted: "Hmph, our store uses an old recipe that has been passed down for a hundred years, and the industrial soup base that has not been infused with soul of Ichiran ramen also wants to compare with us?" ”
"I know, I know~" Hearing the boss boasting about himself, Liang Gong Chu showed a little devilish smile and joked:
"So when will you be able to surpass Ichiran Ramen and set up a national chain of stores?"
"Hmm... The boss uncle was suddenly choked and speechless, so he could only cook noodles with an aggrieved face.
"It's not good for you to tease the boss like this..."Kyushu Makoto felt that the boss uncle was a little pitiful.
"I've known that little girl since she dropped out of high school and came to Kamuromachi, and I'm so angry that she said a word!" The boss uncle skillfully scooped up the noodles and snorted softly.
"Hey, don't just talk about me!" But Liang Gong Chun slapped the table with some eagerness.
"Huh? Isn't he your little boyfriend? The boss uncle was surprised: "You have to tell him this kind of thing sooner or later, right?" ”
Hearing such a misunderstanding, Kyushu Cheng shook his head with tears and laughter:
"Sister Hazel and I just met today, and we are her ordinary friends."
"Huh... That's it..."The boss uncle sighed in disappointment: "I also hope that the little girl can find a reliable boyfriend and leave Kamuro Town early~"
"Hey, uncle!" Liang Gong asked dissatisfiedly, "Why do you care so much about my love?" Also, I guess it's my freedom to stay in Kamurochachi, right? ”
"Well~ too." The boss uncle also sighed with relief and continued to cook noodles: "Little girl, eat slowly, if the kid wants to have an extra bowl, tell me." ”
While eating noodles at Lianggong Tsuki, Kyushu Makoto asked curiously: "Sister Hazel, the boss said that you dropped out of high school and came here... Is it true? ”
"Suck ~ yes." Liang Gong Chu didn't plan to hide it anymore: "This is normal, right?" In the past, the house was messy, and my drunkard father beat people every day, and my mother would only hug me and cry. So I started high school with a lot of classmates, and when I came to my senses, I ran away from home and worked here. ”
"It's really not easy..."Makoto Kyushu lowered his head and sighed regretfully.
Unlike Yanhuangguo, which "dedicates youth to the college entrance examination", Wano Country encourages teenagers to enter social work after graduating from high school, and will also provide students with a certain degree of vocational and technical training during high school.
In the context of this "loose education", there are also many high school students with bad conduct who become disgusted ruffians after graduation; Or enter the custom industry and make a living by selling gestures.
Therefore, "dropping out of high school to become a female public relations" is also commonplace in Wano Country.
"How do you say that~ Kamurocho is a concentration camp for rotten people, and everyone is just as bad~" Suzumiya shook his head and sang happily:
"Xiao Chunchuan looks very young, did he also drop out of high school to become a male publicist?"
Kyushu Cheng shook his head and casually made up a lie: "I'm not a male publicist, I'm just helping with chores." And I went to college to earn money. ”
"Huh... Sounds so powerful..."Liang Gong Chu suddenly showed an envious expression: "I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions!" ”
The cost of universities in Wano Country is very high, and the threshold of prestigious universities is even more shocking, and the average family cannot afford it.
The purpose of the university is also very clear - we only serve the elite and the genius, you ordinary people as long as you can read and write, don't try to rub it in.
But even so, there are still many ordinary students who study hard, just seeking to be admitted to a prestigious university and soar.
However, Kyushu Cheng didn't want to roll with those top students - of course, there was no word "pendulum" in his life - he knew that he was not a top student, he just wanted to work hard to save money to open a martial arts gym after graduating from high school, pass on the master's martial arts, and then one day go back to recognize the master in the name of "martial arts master", so that he could be proud of himself.
To do this, he needs to recharge his energy while studying at Xiu Ember Academy, exercise his weak body well, and pay more attention to the connections and opportunities in related aspects.
"But~" Suddenly, Liang Gong asked matter-of-factly: "A person like you who aspires to go to university must look down on a superficial woman like me, right?" ”
"What does that mean?" Kyushu Makoto couldn't help frowning and said in surprise: "Why do you think you are a superficial woman?" ”
"Well~ A woman like me who is willing to rot in Kamuro Town must be very superficial~" Suzumiya Tsubaki's expression didn't change, just looked at the barbecued pork in the bowl distractedly:
"Xiao Chunchuan is very powerful~ Obviously, he was reduced to Kamuro Town like me, but he can still raise his gaze so high, and his eyes are shining like stars."
"Then do you want to give yourself a goal in life?" Kyushu Makoto lay on the table and asked curiously, "As long as you have lofty ideals, you are not a superficial woman, right?" ”
"How can it be so easy?" Liang Gong Chu covered his mouth and chuckled lightly with self-deprecation: "Haven't you heard of Xiao Chunchuan?" Those who fall into Kamurocho will never be able to escape~"
When the boss heard this, he leaned down on the bar and said, "You don't have to think of Kamurocho so scary. Little girl, you actually make a lot of money now, right? As long as you find a way to save a little more money, you will be able to get out of here in no time. When the time comes, you can go for a serious job and live an ordinary life. ”
Liang Gong stuck out his tongue and said naughtily: "Don't do it~ I don't have a good specialty, so I can't do any 'serious work'!" ”
"Hey, whatever you want..."The boss uncle was not surprised, I am afraid that it was not the first time he had heard such words: "But if you can get out of Kamuromachi, I will be sincerely happy for you." ”
Suzumiya stretched and comforted herself: "Thinking about it, my current job is so lucrative, and my uncle's ramen is also delicious, won't I be able to eat it if I leave Kamurocho?" ”
As she spoke, she lifted the bowl and drank the soup from the bottom of the bowl in a fit of intoxication.
"Check out, Xiao Chunchuan's share is also on my account!" Liang Gong Chun slapped two thousand-yuan bills on the table, picked up his handbag and got up to leave.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Kyushu Makoto also got up and nodded slightly to the boss, and left with Suzumiya Tsubaki.
Suzumiya also lives in a residential area in Kamuro Town, but not in the same area as Makoto Kyushu.
Makoto Kyushu escorted her back to the apartment building, where she met a few drunks and ruffians along the way. But they were lucky, and those dangerous elements had no intention of harassing them.
"Thank you for today." Liang Gong Zhen bowed slightly, and then took out his mobile phone:
"Xiao Chunchuan, shall we leave a contact information?"
"Why?" Makoto Kyushu asked.
They are not all the way, and even if they make friends, it will not benefit each other. Besides, a life-saving grace is as insignificant as a gesture for Kyushu Cheng, and she doesn't expect her to repay herself.
"Hawkers,We're a little bit of fate today.,And Xiao Chunchuan is a very interesting person~"
Suzumiya smiled briskly, the night breeze ruffled the ends of her pale blonde hair, and the aroma of roses and wine wafted into Kyushu Makoto's nostrils again, mixed with a hint of the aroma of tonkotsu soup, but it was not as pungent as before.
"And I really want to see if you can be admitted to university in the future and escape from Kamurocho~"
Kyushu Makoto was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, since you're so curious, let's take a look." After a moment, Makoto Kyushu smiled and took out his phone to exchange phone numbers with her.
Although he won't go to university, he will one day escape from Kamurocho to fulfill his dream.
"That's right, next time, I'll take you to another restaurant to eat~" Looking at the new phone number, Liang Gong Chu showed a happy smile:
"I also know of a couple of great shops... Don't worry, they are all good restaurants with good quality and low prices, and you won't be disappointed~"
"Then I'll look forward to it a little, Sister Hazuko." Kyushu Makoto nodded, and ordered uneasily: "Prepare some self-defense weapons when you go home." If you encounter danger in the future, you can call me. ”
"Hi Bah~ Good night then, Chuncheon little handsome guy~"
Liang Gong made a gesture of heart, turned around and went upstairs, leaving him with only a charming back.
