On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the two small northern rooms of Kang Shude and Ning Weimin were even more lively than teahouses.

After Ning Weimin walked into the house, he first treated Kang Shude with respect and solemnly.

Then he went back to the cottage and changed into his old cotton coat, cotton pants, and large cotton nest.

After that, he returned to the old man's house and had a tea party.

You know, it took half a year for the three neighbors to see Ning Weimin, and everyone wants to stay for a while.

Moreover, there is no pig slaughtering in the capital during the Chinese New Year, and it is inevitable that it will be boring every day.

Even out of curiosity about foreign lands, everyone would inevitably have to surround Ning Weimin and inquire about his latest news in Japan.

This is all human nature.

Ning Weimin naturally understood this and was able to understand it.

He took out a soft seven-star and some oriental candy to entertain the big guy.

Then he sat down with peace of mind, held the teacup, and picked up some interesting things, telling everyone what he saw and heard in Japan.

For example, on the first two days, the morning when he and Axia reunited, they made a joke that was not big or small because they did not understand Japanese customs.

What's going on?

It turns out that day, Ning Weimin was waiting for the bus stop in Tokyo and was going to work at the company. Because of his boredom and no breakfast, he began to miss the breakfast that he had longed for in the capital.

What freshly fried fried Guer with soy milk, roasted crispy dried Benger sesame cake with fried liver, what pancake fruits, meat pancakes, tofu brain, old tofu, bean soup, mixed soup...

As a result, the more he thought about it, the more greedy he became. He moved his index finger and wanted to eat.

What I didn't expect was that he actually came to whatever he wanted. When he turned his head, he found that the small shop next to him was selling fried soybeans.

Although it cannot be compared with good things made with five-spice and salt in China.

But the bags of fried soybeans look clean and attractive, browned and crispy.

Ning Weimin went to buy a pack, then Shi Shiran took out a few and started eating. It turned out to be delicious.

But when he was happy, he suddenly raised his eyes and saw the Japanese girl selling fried soybeans looking at him with tongues, as if a trumpet flower had grown on his face.

Looking around, the Japanese passengers who were also waiting for the bus also showed some strange expressions to the point of view.

How weird?

To describe it, it is probably "respect the ghosts and gods and stay away from them."

Ning Weimin thought at that time that he violated the public good customs of Japanese society that he did not eat outside, so he didn't care too much.

He just thought that the Japanese were a little too busy, and he didn't even allow some food to eat in public.

Well, let's just put away the soybeans and don't eat them.

But unexpectedly, he came to his company, made a cup of tea in the tea room, took out the soybeans to eat.

When the employees in the company saw him, they stared at him with big eyes and collectively glanced at him.

At this time, Ning Weimin realized something was wrong.

After asking, someone finally told him what was going on.

It turns out that the Japanese fried soybeans have a lot of sayings, but they actually have something to do with Japanese monsters.

In fact, this fried soybean is not a snack, but a magic tool used by Japan to "fight ghosts".

According to Japanese folk custom, monsters and ghosts are everywhere and may invade private houses at all times and do all kinds of misconduct.

In order to avoid being hurt by these guys who are hiding in the crowd, Japan calls the day before the lunar calendar "Jingquan", a festival that specializes in fighting ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.

Every day, someone at home wears a hideous mask and dresses up as a monster and enters through the door.

Then the family used this fried soybean to beat it to the face and shouted, "Fu は~~ Inside, ghost は~~ Outside (Fu Qi comes to the house, monsters go out)" Through this ritual, various ghosts and monsters are driven out.

Speaking of which, it is the same as setting off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.

This ceremony is performed by every Japanese family, and it is rarely overlooked.

Perhaps it was because others drove away demons and didn't drive them away, so the monsters wandering all over the streets came to the door.

Of course, stir-fried soybeans are not uneasy.

But at first, it was all the "ammunition" that was left after killing the ghosts.

Secondly, it is said that the amount of food is also taboo, and it must be calculated according to age.

Ten at the age of ten, twenty at twenty, and so on.

As for people like Ning Weimin, it is rare to open a bag on the spot when they buy it. It is like eating peanuts and eating big pieces.

So, foreigners are foreigners, and the same goes for Chinese people to go to Japan.

This is the same as when we saw a foreigner who had just learned how to eat with chopsticks, he actually inserted the chopsticks directly into the rice in the city.

No, such jokes are of course Coke, which is almost the same as listening to crosstalk.

Including Kang Shude, all the neighbors in Courtyard No. 2, regardless of age, were all listening attentively and full of energy.

Especially when Ning Weimin finished speaking, the scene burst into laughter, which was definitely the best effect of the tea party.

As a result, time passed quickly.

Because Ning Weimin is extremely patient in telling the lives of ordinary Japanese people to everyone, and mainly focuses on some issues that everyone is concerned about - what is a true modern life like and how rich the Japanese are.

Of course, there must be something he said that everyone likes and some don’t like.

For example, Japan's bus seats will be self-heated, and the price of electronic products and cars is much cheaper than that of domestic ones.

There are also high buildings, rich nightlife and entertainment, and well-connected subways, almost everywhere in every corner of the city. Of course everyone is envious.

Especially in Tokyo, many people don’t want slightly damaged furniture and appliances, and throw them away like garbage.

Everyone regards Japan as a paradise that is rich.

I said I had never been there, so I really don’t know that Japan is already so rich.

But when Ning Weimin talked about the many restrictions on throwing garbage in Japan, what the price of things in the store is, and how high the consumption level is, everyone had to grin.

Especially when you hear that the money for drinking soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning in Japan is almost a pig in Beijing.

Moreover, the soy milk is pitifully small, unlike the soy milk in our capital, which is full of a large bowl.

The bowls that Japanese drink soy milk are smaller than those that we Liuzhen drink tea, and the fried dough sticks are as thin as chopsticks.

No matter who hears it, they are full of emotion and unanimously believe that Japan is definitely not a good place.

I said I never thought that in Tokyo, people would eat like paying for money, and even if Zhu Bajie went there, he would become a white bone demon.

But on the other hand, everyone understands more why Ning Weimin had to open a restaurant in Tokyo.

A bowl of noodles can be sold for 30 to 40 yuan. What kind of business can you make money than doing this?

This is almost like robbing money.

In this way, everyone smoked, ate, drank, and chatted, completely forgot about the time.

In addition, Ning Weimin also brought gifts to every household.

The whole set of Japanese currency for children to use as money for money, the old generation of cigarettes, alcohol, candy, tea, electronic watches, calculators, and small recorders for young people are distributed one by one.

And the neighbors also have gifts from each family.

In short, it was getting dark without anyone paying attention.

This made everyone in the entire No. 2 Courtyard had to postpone the New Year’s Eve dinner that night for one or two hours.

Because everyone was so happy to chat, they forgot all the New Year’s Eve dinner and had not had time to do some work.

Of course, the most surprising ones were Luo Guangsheng and his wife, Li Xiuzhi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bian family, and Bian Jianjun, who had just gotten married.

You know, they rushed back to celebrate the New Year after work today, but when they arrived home, they found that there was no one.

Then when I heard the movement in the yard, I realized that Ning Weimin had returned and found them one by one.

So the young man took over the old generation's rank, and these people met Ning Weimin, and it was a lot of lively and greetings again.

Let me put it this afternoon, Ning Weimin didn't have any idle mouths, just like he hosted two annual forgotten meetings.

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that the "News Broadcast" was broadcast, and the neighbors dispersed one by one. Even Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao took their gifts to their homes for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Ning Weimin and Kang Shude were finally able to talk about their own affairs without being disturbed.

But it's very interesting, because Ning Weimin has never been in the capital.

Only after this time did he notice that Bian Jiangong's new daughter-in-law and Aunt Bian's mother-in-law's relationship had a big change.

These two people are now quite harmonious, and that "Mu Guiying" seems to be quite favored.

It is far from what everyone generally worried about before he went abroad, and he was afraid that after "Mu Guiying" passed by, the aunt would dislike him and Jiangong would be angry.

He was inevitably curious and puzzled, not understanding what happened to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Why did the relationship get harmonious all of a sudden?

As a result, after asking the whole story, I learned another interesting story about the Bian family from the old man.
