National Tide 1980.

Kanazawa is an ancient city near the Sea of ​​Japan, known as "Little Kyoto".

Historically, in the Azuchi Momoyama era, after the change of Honnoji Temple, because Maeda Toshiie moved into Kanazawa Castle, this place developed rapidly.It was once the largest city in the Hokuriku region.

In the Edo period, Kanazawa Castle was awarded the highest 100 million stones, and it was the castle town of the Kaga clan known as "Kaga Million Stones".

It can be said that it was the fourth largest city in Japan at that time, with a population of more than [-], second only to Edo, Osaka and Kyoto.

However, since the Meiji Restoration, due to the industrialization of Japan, the migration of gentry and merchants led to a decrease in the population of Kanazawa.

At the same time, the port cities on the Pacific side are developing rapidly.

So one ebbs and another ebbs and flows, and Kanazawa's prosperity comes to an end, and it never recovers.

So much so that in modern Japan, Kanazawa is only the size of a medium-sized local city in Japan.

From Ning Weimin's point of view, Jinze is actually about the same size as the third- and fourth-tier cities in the Republic, and it is considered a small place.

But having said that, it is a blessing in disguise.

Because of this, during World War II, Kanazawa was not bombed once, and many ancient buildings were well preserved.

Today's Kanazawa not only has several beautiful ancient streets, but also has the largest garden in Japan called "Kenrokuen".

In addition, there is an ancient castle in Kanazawa, as well as many characteristic tea houses, craft shops, art galleries, museums, etc.

This place can almost be regarded as a living specimen of an ancient Japanese city in the Edo period.

In addition, the gold leaf here is very famous, and the seafood is also very rich.

There are not only luxury food wrapped in gold leaf, but also world-renowned gold leaf products.

In the Omi Market in Kanazawa, seafood such as squid, sardines, rays, horse-faced pufferfish, sweetfish, abalone, etc. are also aplenty.

Crabs are especially famous in winter.

Even within the market, there are many shops where you can eat seafood right away.

In conclusion, Kanazawa, though abandoned by the needs of the industrial age, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Japan.

The literary atmosphere and historical atmosphere here are particularly strong, which perfectly retains the style of the vassal regime era. It is very suitable for tourism, and it is especially suitable for Ning Weimin's appetite.

In fact, on this day, when they actually drove to Kanazawa, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Ever since he entered this ancient city where modernization and history blend together, Ning Weimin's eyes felt that they were not enough.

For him, Kanazawa, with its strong atmosphere in the Edo period, is like a big set in a film studio, as if he has entered a Japanese sword and halberd movie.

What's even more wonderful is that even the hotel they stayed in is an old Edo-style house.

Dare to consider that it is not the tourist season, there will not be too many tourists in Kanazawa City.

For the sake of Ning Weimin, Matsumoto Keiko didn't pay much attention to her personal privacy.

She voluntarily gave up the Western-style Holiday Inn, and boldly chose a Japanese-style traditional hotel to stay.

The so-called ryokan is actually a traditional Japanese accommodation facility.

The biggest difference between this kind of Japanese-style hotel and Western-style hotels is that the guest rooms are Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats and sliding doors (shoji).

Guests usually sleep not on a bed, but on tatami mats covered with futons.

In addition, the ryokan also provides Japanese favorite services such as Japanese cuisine cooked with local ingredients, yukata robes, hot springs or baths.

Needless to say, the biggest charm of staying in such an inn is that you can experience the life of old Japan that even modern Japanese have almost forgotten.

So for Ning Weimin, it is undoubtedly a better travel experience, which shows the caring of Matsumoto Keiko.

And I have to say that such a choice is really quite appropriate.

The Japanese-style inn called "Chunyun" they fell in love with, when they entered the door and inquired, only an old couple from Nara lived there.

The internal environment is particularly quiet, and the hardware and software conditions are also quite good.

You know, this old shop is almost the oldest ryokan in the Kanazawa area, and it has been in business since the Meiji period.

In terms of catering services, this hotel adopts the traditional way of hospitality for one night and two stays.

It means to provide dinner on the day of check-in and breakfast the next day.

The meals provided are also very local in Kanazawa.

For dinner, different banquet set menus are presented according to the season, including "Noto beef" as the main dish, as well as sunfish seafood and so on.

Breakfast is a meal with the theme of Kaga wild vegetables.

In terms of accommodation, although there are not many rooms here, there are only eleven in total.

But the areas vary in size to meet the needs of different guests, and the largest room can even accommodate five people.

And each room is carefully designed and built.

Not only are there various traditional Japanese screen paintings in each room as decoration.

Considering the comfort of the guests, it has undergone modern renovations, and has all kinds of electrical facilities. It is not a purely ancient room.

Although the house price is expensive, it costs [-] yen for one person to stay for one night.

They have to stay for two nights, a total of 16 yen, which is already worth the salary of a new employee, not cheaper than a five-star hotel.

But because the proprietress of the hotel is a 60-year-old old woman, she should not be a movie-goer because she is old and dizzy, so she didn't recognize Matsumoto Keiko at all.

So Ning Weimin paid the money happily.

In his opinion, as long as Keiko Matsumoto can enjoy peace and ease, even if it is twice as expensive, it is worth the money.

The only downside is that the two of them are too shy to offer to live together.

Especially Keiko Matsumoto, who even asked the proprietress for two rooms.

So the proprietress took them up to the third floor, where there were two guest rooms facing each other.

One side can see the tea house street outside, and the other side can see the elegant courtyard behind. The scenery is very good, and it is also free from being disturbed by outsiders
Especially in the room, there is not only a refrigerator, but also a TV. The bedding is as white as a cloud, and tea and wagashi are provided in the room.

It can be said that the price/performance ratio of the room is still very high.

It's just a pity that after the proprietress confirmed the dinner time, she took the initiative to go downstairs.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but they still couldn't bravely say what they were both longing for.

"You can see the street view on the left, and the courtyard on the right. You can choose one..."

Matsumoto Keiko bowed her head and said, she was a little panicked.

This made Ning Weimin feel even more itchy and moved.

But he coughed twice, and for some reason he was cowardly, and he still responded insincerely.

"Listen to you……"

"Then you live on the left..."

Matsumoto Keiko said softly.

"Okay...then I'll help you carry your luggage in."

"thanks……"

That's it. After being polite, the two entered the room separately and packed their luggage.

The moment the door was closed, Ning Weimin, who regretted his stupidity and cowardice just now, couldn't help but slap him hard in the face.

But as the old saying goes, what belongs to whomever belongs.

Although the missed opportunity because of Mensao is purely deserved, but since the love game is still going on, Ning Weimin will not lack the chance to make amends.

Within 10 minutes, Keiko Matsumoto, who had already packed his things, knocked on Ning Weimin's door and asked him to go out to find something to eat.

It's not hard to find a place to eat. The ancient tea house street outside is full of exquisite shops.

There are tea houses, wagashi shops, dessert shops, izakayas, kiosks, pottery shops, and bookstores.

They randomly found an izakaya called "Koizumi".

Ordered tempura, yakiniku, sashimi and some sushi, and a bottle of sake.

Even considering that the boss is also a 70-year-old man, he still doesn't recognize Keiko Matsumoto.

For the [-] yen crab set meal recommended by the boss, Ning Weimin also ordered a copy.

So in an environment without other customers, they ate and chatted passionately, and even drank a bottle of 720ml sake together.

In the end, he was full of wine and food, satisfied, Ning Weimin took out his wallet to pay the bill, and found that the total was only [-] yen.

If you don't order the pair of fat crabs, the average price per person is [-] yen, which is really not expensive.

And at this moment, Ning Weimin can understand Matsumoto's good intentions and love from Matsumoto Keiko's happy and proud eyes when she sees her paying the bill.

In the past, every time she rushed to pay the bill, she always looked anxious and worried.

If she really travels like this, I'm afraid it's AA system, and she won't be happy either.

And now it's different.

Since giving herself that bank card, no matter how much she spends, she will no longer worry about her financial pressure.

On the contrary, while fully satisfying desires and needs and enjoying the fun of life, they can feel a kind of mutual giving happiness.

It is very likely that there is also a sense of accomplishment that he has personally shaped a successful man.

It can only be said that Matsumoto Keiko is really a pure woman, she is too emotional in her bones.

Once in love, there will be no reservations.

…………

When he left the izakaya, feeling drunk, Ning Weimin checked his watch, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

The sky is blue, the sun is warm, and the temperature around ten degrees is very pleasant.

Therefore, considering that the 07:30 dinner that he had agreed with the proprietress was just around the corner, Ning Weimin felt that it was necessary to go shopping to consume the seafood in his stomach so that he could eat delicious food at night.

Especially Keiko Matsumoto, who likes sweets, usually dare not eat them for the sake of her figure.

As soon as I came to Kanazawa, I heard that the gold leaf ice cream here is very famous, so I really wanted to try it.

So I found out that the famous shop is near Kenrokuen.

Facing the sunshine, the two of them walked side by side to Kenrokuen.

To be honest, gold leaf ice cream is not too expensive, priced at 890 yen per piece.

Although compared with the [-] yen price of most cones in Japan, this is already a sky-high price.

But you must know that the current official exchange rate of [-] yen to RMB is ten yuan.

Even Jingcheng Pierkardon ice cream sells for five yuan.

Such a comparison, spending nine yuan to eat a gold leaf ice cream, how can you not feel that people are black-hearted, right?

As for Kenrokuen, its reputation is well-deserved.

As one of the three famous gardens in Japan, this special lake garden is a national treasure garden.

Not only does each season have a unique style, but also the Kenrokuen Center is the main center, where you can browse the landscaping art of six temperaments at one time.

Therefore, there are always uninterrupted tourists visiting Kenrokuen, who come here to enjoy the garden scenery loved by the successive feudal lords of Kaga.

Many people even came with professional cameras.

However, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko were quite different from these tourists.

They prefer a quiet place and long for the solitude of two people.

So the more they walked, the more they deviated from the main viewing route, and went straight to a remote place where no one was around.

Finally, they finally found a quiet place and sat down beside a field of flowers with only dead branches.

They were so close to each other that Ning Weimin could smell the perfume on Matsumoto Keiko's body, and could see the delicate smooth tip of her nose.

And Keiko Matsumoto could also hear his heartbeat, and could see his neatly manicured nails and the scars on his hands that were about to heal.

"Do you like it here?" Keiko Matsumoto smiled brightly.

"I like it, it's so beautiful. This is the best Japanese garden I've ever seen. I didn't expect that the daimyo in the past would enjoy it quite a bit."

Ning Weimin said with emotion, his eyes also turned to the lake in the center of the courtyard.

"But it's a pity that there are no flowers and no snow in the current season. Otherwise, it would be more beautiful..."

"Not necessarily."

To Matsumoto's surprise, Ning Weimin actually retorted, "If I hadn't been with you. Even if there were flowers and snow here, it wouldn't be better than it is now. At least for me. Unless there is If you are by my side, then this will be the most beautiful place."

Keiko Matsumoto smiled, she subconsciously thought about it.

Yes, it would be wonderful if the two of us could be together like this forever and see the scenery of the four seasons here.

"Maybe, we can come together in other seasons in the future..."

"Can I still have this opportunity?"

Ning Weimin sighed deliberately again, "I thought my singing had already frightened you. Once I return to Tokyo, you might just ignore me..."

"How could it be? No. You can't blame you for what happened in the morning..."

Keiko Matsumoto really wanted to hug this man beside her, with regret.

Even though he knew that Ning Weimin was joking, seeing his pretended pessimistic self-blame, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

Want to hug him, want to touch his hair.

While she was falling into a dream, Ning Weimin suddenly stood up.

"I don't believe it, unless you can prove it to me. Prove that you still trust me."

"how to prove?"

Matsumoto Keiko looked surprised and showed a worried expression.

"Take my hand and follow me blindfolded, right here! Right now! Do you dare?"

Ning Weimin pretended to be provocative.

"I dare."

Keiko Matsumoto understood that this was still a joke.

Even if it was a little childish, she was willing to coax him.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid." Matsumoto Keiko smiled softly.

"Then you use a silk scarf...to cover your eyes."

"you help me……"

Matsumoto Keiko slowly took off the silk scarf around her neck, a romantic Lyon silk scarf.

She handed the silk scarf to Ning Weimin and closed her eyes.

And Ning Weimin took the silk scarf and walked around behind Matsumoto Keiko.

He peeked into Keiko Matsumoto's neck at close range, and could feel the rhythm of the arteries.

His hands trembled slightly because of this, and he tied the silk scarf gently, covering Keiko Matsumoto's eyes.

Afterwards, he led Matsumoto Keiko with both hands, and walked slowly forward, through the flower fields, through the holly trees, and onto the stone road.

As for Matsumoto Keiko, she couldn't see anything, only heard her own footsteps and her own heartbeat.

In this state, her mood became more and more excited, but also more and more apprehensive.

I don't know how far I've walked, I don't know how long I've walked.

"Okay, stop."

Suddenly Ning Weimin's voice floated over, very soft.

So she stopped meekly and remained motionless.

Ning Weimin, who let him speak, went around behind her and took off the silk scarf for himself.

"Open your eyes." Ning Weimin said.

Matsumoto Keiko slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw made her shiver.

In front of her was the edge of the lake, a bank with a drop of one meter.

And she was almost standing on the shore, and if she took a step forward, she would fall into the icy water of the lake.

She was somewhat frightened, and with a cry, she turned around hastily.

But when he turned around, he almost bumped into Ning Weimin's arms, and he was at a loss for an instant.

Her body was extremely weak at this moment, like a trembling flower branch.

On the other hand, Ning Weimin was tall and straight, like a solid stone wall.

Ning Weimin didn't hesitate anymore, at this moment, he suddenly hugged Matsumoto Keiko, and repeatedly expressed his relief.

"Sorry! Sorry! Did I scare you?"

But Keiko Matsumoto remained silent, letting Ning Weimin hug him.

Her limbs were limp and limp, alluring with terror.

No matter when, moderate fear makes women more beautiful and attractive.

This is a woman's nature, no matter what age, what status of a woman.

"I didn't do it on purpose! Are you not angry? Blame me, blame me...I..."

Ning Weimin spoke incoherently, and his tone was full of anxiety.

He really started to worry a little bit, his joke was a little too far.

However, Matsumoto Keiko said so with her eyes closed.

"Hold tight!"
