A few days later, I boarded the Shinkansen with Ma, and after putting away my luggage and sitting down, I let out a sigh of relief.
Toda sat down next to him, and threw a big bag of snacks to him: "My family's specialty. You don't have a girl to accompany you on a long trip, aren't you used to it?"
He Ma laughed and said, "Who do you think I am. I have only been destined for girls since the third year of high school."
"Hmph, you can't fool me. I heard Huacheng say that your childhood sweetheart in high school and your younger sister Chiyoko are all beauties."
After finishing the words, Senior Huacheng, who was sitting in front, turned around and lay down on the back of the Shinkansen: "That's right, his childhood sweetheart Mikako is as crazy as a tomboy, but she looks absolutely beautiful girl."
As soon as the words fell, some members of the Kendo club booed: "Wow, isn't that the most ideal state? This kind of tomboy childhood sweetheart must have given Kiryu a lot of life, right?"
He Ma: "It's okay."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mikako really doesn't give away a lot of benefits.
Another senior from the Kendo Department joked: "Brother Kiryu, traveling with us stinky men, I have wronged you."
Senior Huacheng glanced at the person who spoke, and said: "You're overthinking this, the girl just doesn't take the Shinkansen with us, and goes directly to Narita to take the plane. When we arrive in Fukuoka, there are girls to accompany and girls to cheer, we The elders can only take care of themselves."
After the words fell, everyone in the Kendo Department cried out in grief: "Isn't it?"
"You bloody capitalist in love, hang up the street lamp."
"Japan is a monogamous country. Is it reasonable that you have so many resources? It's not reasonable."
He Ma smiled and spread his hands: "I am also very troubled. If I am not careful, I will be in the Shura field. It is easier to be single."
"Fucking kid, brothers have to fuck him!"
"Yes, if we go together, we still have a chance of winning!"
"Don't, how can we fight him in the field he is good at? We can beat him at cards! If he loses, we will fight him in Aruba!"
It turns out that no matter where they go, men get together and make the same sand sculptures.
Amidst the noise, the Shinkansen train started slowly.
However, there is no direct train from Tokyo to Fukuoka, and there are four transfers during the entire journey. Counting the transfer time, it should be already evening when Wama arrives in Fukuoka.
According to the plan, when Hema arrives, he will go directly to the hotel with everyone to rest, and will meet the girls who arrived first by plane tomorrow.
This time in Fukuoka, only Tamamo, Honami and Mikako will come together.
Qingliu was forced to stay in Tokyo by Chiyoko. For the rest of this summer vacation, she would probably have to fight Guowen to death.
Thinking of the teary look of Qingliu saying goodbye at the door when he set off this morning, Kazuma wanted to laugh.
Mikako also teased Qingliu and played with Hakata's specialty Kankou. People who didn't know thought she was a member of the Japanese branch of Deyun Society practicing kung fu.
Fukuoka—speaking of which, Saga Prefecture seems to be right next to Fukuoka
There really is a mysterious side in this time and space, so maybe there are zombie idols performing in Saga
He Ma was seriously thinking about whether to go to Saga for a pilgrimage to the holy land after the battle of the Yulong Banner.
But for Kazuma now, how to pass the five hours on the train without the company of a girl is the most important issue.
To be honest, looking at the passionate kendo club seniors, Kazuma already regretted not flying with Honami and the others.
**
At 6:30 in the evening, Kazuma finally stood on the platform of Hakata Station.
He looked sympathetically at Toda-senpai who was clutching his crotch: "Senior, are you alright?"
"Damn it, these guys, every time the kendo club sleeps together, they will find a chance to get revenge on me." Senior Toda shook his head and said, "I thought they would focus on you, Kiryu this time."
He Ma was stunned: "Well, senior, I think this is simply a problem of card skills, and your card skills are too bad."
Hua Cheng-senpai patted Hema on the shoulder: "Finally someone told the truth for us. In fact, we also want to change people to toss, but Toda-senpai can lose the game unimaginably every time."
"Nonsense, it's obvious that you came to cheat me together." Senior Toda glared at Huacheng, "Forget it, let's get out of the station and eat ramen. Let me tell you Kiryu, we know a very delicious ramen Noodle shop, the Hakata ramen and mentaiko there are excellent.”
Mentaiko is a specialty of Hakata, and I only knew about it after watching anime in my life.
Also because of the animation, Hema has the impression that all Hakata people are hospitable, and this impression is roughly on the same level as "Gutham City with simple folk customs".
However, before crossing with horses, it seems that the Koreans have announced that mentaiko is their specialty, which has successfully promoted a wave of Sino-Japanese friendship.
Senior Toda waved his hand: "Huacheng, hurry up and call to book a seat!"
Senior Huacheng pushed his glasses: "I sent a telegram yesterday to book a seat."
The very old-fashioned word "telegram" made He Ma look at Senior Huacheng in surprise: "Telegram?"
"yes."
"Why don't you call?"
"Because long-distance calls are expensive, it's cheaper to send a telegram, but the message will be delivered the next day."
This, this way.
As expected of 1981.
Senior Toda shouted in a loud voice: "Okay, the deputy director has reserved a seat! Move, move! Don't make the store wait too long!"
"Understood!" The members of the Kendo Department replied energetically.
**
The store that Mr. Toda mentioned is unexpectedly popular.
When the kendo team arrived, they just heard someone complaining in the store: "There are still several empty tables over there! Why do you let us go to another place?"
The proprietress said to the complaining office worker with a smile on her face, "Oh, I'm sorry, that's the seat that regular customers from Tokyo telegraphed to reserve."
"Can Tokyoites be superior to others?"
"I booked the seat first, so you just-oh, said Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, look, he is here. Is it Director Toda of the Kendo Department of Tokyo University? This way please this way, these three tables are all Keep it for you."
The proprietress deliberately accentuated the word "Tokyo University".
The office workers who wanted to say something, when they heard the University of Tokyo, they forcibly held back the words that came to their lips.
At this time, several guests said: "Madam, we are done eating, let's go now. Let those few sit here."
"Oh, thank you so much, please come here." The proprietress hurriedly said, "Xiao Song, go and clear the table!"
When the office workers saw this, they nodded in agreement and came to the checkout table, waiting for Xiaosong, the store clerk, to clean up the things on the table.
When those who paid the bill came over, the proprietress lowered her voice and said a few words, which Hema heard clearly: "I'll give you a few cheaper, thank you."
The few nodded politely, checked out and left.
The proprietress rushed to the table of the "Guests from Tokyo" who had just been seated, and asked with a smile, "What would you like to order?"
Senior Huacheng smiled and said: "Miss Boss, your business is better than last year."
"Oh, it's a good year, everyone is cheering, and there are guests from Tokyo who come to eat every year like you. This is the third time Toda-san has come, right?"
Senior Toda nodded: "Yes, it's the third year, and it's the last year I lead the team. This year we have a strong newcomer, but the sword is aimed at the Jade Dragon Banner."
"Really? Then I'll give you a 20% discount. When you win the Jade Dragon Banner, the celebration banquet will come to us!"
"Definitely!" Huacheng nodded again and again, "In this way, each person will have a large bowl of soy sauce ramen, and if there is not enough food, order it yourself."
"Okay." The proprietress glanced over and shouted back, "14 servings of soy sauce ramen."
The chef in the kitchen responded immediately: "Okay."
Senior Toda said, "I'm here for mentaiko. I strongly recommend the mentaiko here."
He Ma: "Then I'll have Mentaiko too."
In fact, Hema wanted to order garlic ramen without meat as a tribute to Ling Boli, but the smell of meat in the store stopped him.
"And," he said, "I have extra meat for my ramen."
As soon as the conversation with Ma was finished, a senior raised his hand: "Me too."
"me too."
"Ditto."
The proprietress waved her hand, "The 14 servings of ramen all have an extra serving of meat."
"Okay!" The general in the kitchen responded with a deep bass.
Then the seniors ordered a bunch of things in a hurry. The freshmen in the first year were more cautious. Only He Ma Duo ordered a mentaiko, and the others just asked for ramen with meat.
Soon the dishes were served, and the aroma of the noodle soup stimulated Kazuma's saliva.
Toda-senpai said "I'm starting", and he sucked up the noodles first, making a loud noise.
It is said that it is polite to eat ramen here in Japan, which is the opposite of China.
Kazuma didn't start eating noodles right away, but took a sip of soup with a spoon first.
He remembered that there was a Japanese spoof show called "The Shape of Japan", which said a lot of specious content in a serious way, including that you should drink soup first before eating ramen.
In fact, there is no such rule.
He drank soup first because of the stubbornness of Cantonese people, and it was uncomfortable not to drink soup first.
If conditions permit, I will come to Kouhu Jianren again after drinking the soup, but there are no Hu Jianren in Japan, so forget it.
He Ma started to eat noodles. To be honest, he is hungry now, and everything he eats feels delicious.
What impresses me deeply is the portion size of this ramen, which looks very unJapanese, and is closer to the portion size of the Lanzhou ramen that Ma is familiar with.
After thinking about it, it should be because this is the Kyushu region. Since ancient times, this place has been relatively rich in maritime trade, so the food is more abundant.
After a bowl of noodles, Kazuma actually felt full, unlike in Tokyo where he couldn’t get full without extra rice.
Hema hiccupped contentedly, at this moment someone opened the sliding door, and a somewhat familiar voice asked, "Is there any room?"
He Ma followed the prestige and saw none other than Jin Ma Kenichi.
