Chapter 1: First arrival in Japan
Japan, a country formed by a narrow island, has a map shaped like a creeping insect. It is hard to imagine that such a small bug can nest 200 million people.
Inoue was in Osaka, Japan, so Meng Fan and others drove to Osaka immediately after arriving in Japan.
I have to say that Japan is a country with a highly concentrated population and very developed science and technology. Culturally, it dominates the world with animation and ** industries. The number of ** films produced by Japan every year is enough to ammark the world.
When men all over the world learn about Japan through such Japanese films, they have a common understanding that Japanese chicks are so fucking beautiful. However, Meng Fan and others walked on the streets of Osaka and found that this was by no means the case. It was rare to see a few beautiful girls here. Many girls in short skirts and school uniforms were generally thick and miserable.
However, the rumors that Japan is very open in some aspects are accurate. Here, the skirts of high school girls are extremely short. As long as they bend down to pick up what fell from the ground, they can clearly see the underwear printed with Hellokitty or Crayon Shin.
"Yes, captain." Li He said, "Beautiful women in Japan are lying in ** to make money. Tokyo has the most developed industry, so there are also the most beautiful women there. Shall we go to Tokyo for a walk?
Meng Fan was speechless and secretly glanced at him. Seeing Su Qian staring at Li He angrily, he had to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
"Wow, captain, look at the man over there." Li He suddenly pointed not far away and laughed, "I just saw the man throw his wallet on the ground and secretly pat the girl's skirt with his mobile phone when a girl bent down to pick it up for him. Only the Japanese can think of this idea."
"Li He!" Su Qian put Meng Fan's arm on her arm and stared at Li He fiercely, "Don't damage Meng Fan."
Li He shrugged helplessly, made a gentleman's bow and said, "Beautiful lady, please be kind to your man."
Both the big country and Michelle laughed, and Meng Fan also smiled bitterly, but Su Qian looked like a bird and obediently leaned her head on Meng Fan's shoulder as if nothing had happened.
The laughter of several people shocked several passers-by in a hurry. Osaka is a city that can definitely be called a modern metropolis. There are many tall buildings and prosperous everywhere, but the people here are in a hurry, as if driven away by some force. The shocked passers-by looked back at Meng Fan and others who were walking slowly, whispered to each other, and then hurried forward.
"What did they say?" Meng Fan was confused and didn't understand at all.
"They said that we must be foreign tourists." Michelle completed the translation work. As an elite member of the U.S. Marine Corps, he knows a little about the languages of major countries.
"Damn, I thought you were scolding us." Meng Fan scratched his head and said, "It's really uncomfortable that we don't understand the language. Should we find a translator?"
Meng Fan is just talking. Although Michelle's Japanese is as lame as his Chinese, it is enough for general communication. If you really want to find a translator, it will be inconvenient for some things.
It was about 4 p.m., and everyone was already hungry. Meng Fan was not in a hurry to find Inoue. He casually found a ramen restaurant to taste Japanese ramen with a few people.
Ramen is a major feature of Japan. Although this small ramen restaurant is small, it is antique. The tables and chairs are made of solid wood and painted with brown varnish. Compared with the road across the wall, it looks particularly quiet.
The owner of this noodle restaurant seems to be father and son. The young son speaks fluent English and communicates with Li He and Michelle very smoothly. Poor Meng Fan, a bad student who hasn't even passed CET-4, can't understand anything except simple words such as 'you, me, him'.
After a while, Li He finished communicating with the young man and said to Meng Fan, "Captain, a bowl of ramen here is 1,000 yen. In addition to yen, it also receives US dollars. Fortunately, we prepared some US dollars in cash when we left, otherwise we really couldn't eat this meal.
The liquidity and recognition of a currency are directly linked to the country's economic strength. Meng Fan whispered, "Mom, when China's economy is strong, I will take the RMB and go around the world to see who dares not to accept it!"
Several people ordered a bowl of ramen and some snacks such as sushi and barbecue. Taking advantage of the boss's ramen, Meng Fan looked at the environment here with great interest. In this ramen restaurant, there are more than a dozen square tables, each of which can seat six people. It's not time for dinner yet. There are few people here. Only a few men in suits are desperately stuffing their faces into their mouths, as if they haven't eaten for several lifetimes.
Pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, and these people eat like playing with their lives. Is this the characteristic of Japan?
It's fucking boring.
After a while, five bowls of ramen were served, and snacks such as sushi and barbecue were also served, filling the whole square table.
"Seafood noodles." Su Qian picked up a chopstick of noodles and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. "It seems to be very ordinary, not as delicious as the legend."
"Real?" Meng Fan pushed his beef ramen in front of Su Qian, "Try this."
Su Qian took a small spoon, scooped a little soup and put it in her mouth, smashed her mouth and said, "It's also very ordinary."
"Real?" Meng Fan was not as elegant as Su Qian. He picked up a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. He hadn't tasted anything yet. A large mouthful of noodles had already been eaten.
Looking up at Li He, Michelle and Daguo, they talked to Qian'er for so much that they had eaten the noodles and even saw the soup.
"General." Da Da wiped his mouth and said, "It's far worse than Lanzhou ramen, but it tastes good when you're hungry."
Hearing Daguo's words, Meng Fan felt that his stomach was also beginning to scream, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate all the noodles within a minute.
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "Terrible, it's really terrible."
Meng Fan laughed and stretched out his chopsticks to attack sushi.
Sushi is just a rice ball covered with sashimi, or kelp, crab, caviar and so on. Meng Fan put the sushi on his mouth, took a bite, and immediately spit it out.
"Damn, it's fucking taste- bad!"
"If it was delicious, I would have eaten it long ago." Li He said with a smile.
It seems that everyone doesn't like sushi. Meng Fan is very confused about why little Japan wants to live a life of drinking blood like primitive people. Good fish must be eaten raw, and he has to eat it while shouting that he can't live without sashimi.
And this thing, not to mention whether there is a parasite, it really has no taste in your mouth. If you chew it carefully, there is also a fishy smell. However, this thing has changed into a symbol of noble status in some big cities in China. Many rich people, even if they don't like to eat it, have to pinch their noses and stuff it into their mouths when socializing.
Grandma, it's okay if these little Japanese don't evolve themselves. It's really abominable to lead some rich Chinese to reverse evolution to primitive people who eat raw meat.
Meng Fan thought of Haagen-Dazs again. This kind of bargain of one-dolly in American supermarkets has been boasted as a symbol of love in China, with a minimum price of 40 to 50 yuan. How many young Chinese men and women have fooled the sentence 'If you love her, treat her to Haagen-Dazs'?
Damn, it's fucking sick!
"Damn, throw these sushi into the trash can, and let's each ask for another bowl of ramen!" Thinking of this, Meng Fan threw the sushi on the chopsticks on the table and said to Li He.
"OK, no problem." Li Hechong's young son in the noodle restaurant snapped his fingers, "Waiter."
The young man nodded and bowed over. Li He communicated with him in English again. Of course, Meng Fan was still confused and couldn't understand anything.
"Hi." The young man bowed and hurried away.
"I also call it four bowls of ramen." Li He said, "Su Qian, you don't need to add ramen, do you?"
"Hm?" Su Qian raised her head and had a ramen in her mouth. Looking at the seafood noodles in her bowl, it was only one-third less.
Meng Fan smiled and said, "It's okay. Keep eating, kitten."
"Oh." Su Qian lowered her head obediently and continued to eat noodles.
After a while, the young son of the store brought four bowls of ramen. Meng Fan had a little bottom in his stomach, and this time he ate much more.
"One, two, three..." Su Qian ate half of it and seemed to be full. She began to count the remaining noodles with her chopsticks.
This bowl was finally completely full. Meng Fan, Li He and others ate up the barbecue on the table again. As for the sushi, they put there intact.
The meal cost 150 US dollars. Meng Fan couldn't help sighing at the high consumption in Japan. Several people just ate some noodles and barbecue, and spent 150 US dollars, a total of more than 1,000 yuan.
At this time, Meng Fan finally understood why those Japanese men were in a hurry. In this country with a high population density, it has always adhered to the feudal ideology of the male protagonist and the female protagonist. Women are doing housework at home. Of course, it is not ruled out that some beautiful Japanese women are found by star scouts to engage in a certain entertainment industry to work with men and women under cameras. And those Japanese men have to support a wife with world-class housing prices and world-class consumption standards. Occasionally, they have to find a life warbler. If they don't work 12 hours a day, they can't afford to support their families.
Poor Japanese, haha.
Out of the small noodle restaurant, Meng Fan and others took a leisurely walk along the street and looked at the Japanese around them in a hurry, feeling refreshed.
"Captain." Li He suddenly came to Meng Fan's ear and said in a low voice, "Someone is following us!"
