I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 69 Spicy Mentaiko and Puppet
"Tianjin South Station, we're here."

Xiangzi followed them to the Tenjin underground mall of the municipal subway Tenjin station. She walked on the beautiful and neat stone brick road and looked at the many shops on both sides of the underground street. She felt that her eyes were not enough.

In the fashion store, you can buy world-famous clothing from cities such as Tokyo, Paris and New York.The sign in front of the restaurant reads chicken hot pot, pork bone soup ramen, etc., and there are pictures of various delicacies on the wall, making people want to go in and have a full meal.

Shirakawa Kazuya looked at Xiangzi's happy look and touched her head, "How about we take a walk when we come back in the evening?"

"Okay!" Xiangzi smiled happily, her eyes turning into crescent moons.

"This is Tenjin, the commercial center of Fukuoka!" Kinoshita Haruhi also sighed.

The group of people exited the subway station. Except for Chihaya Tsukiike, everyone was a little shocked by the rows of department stores and fashion shops here.

"Wow, it's very prosperous here, there are so many big commercial buildings!" Masamune Kawakami stood on the zebra crossing, waiting for the light to turn green on the other side.

"Such as Soria Plaza, Iwataya and Daimaru Department Store are all famous here. Many people from nearby areas go here to shop on weekends or holidays." Nagata Chinatsu had already checked the guide at home last night. .

"There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames! The most bustling city in Kyushu is no joke."

The light turned green and everyone crossed the wide road.

They walked forward along the street, Shirakawa Kazuya holding the navigation in his hand, "Go forward 1000 meters, then turn left."

"What's that?" Xiangzi pointed to a shop next to her.

"Let me see, spicy mentaiko? Is it a kind of food?"

Shirakawa Kazuya looked at the sign, but couldn't figure out what it was even after looking at the name, so he turned to look at Tsukiike Chihaya.

"Spicy mentaiko is made from cod snow eggs pickled with salt and chili sauce. In terms of taste, it is very salty. I don't like to eat such strong flavors, but some people think the flavor is very unique, and it is often used with drinks and meals. Or eat it with pancake bread or something." Tsukichi Chihaya glanced at the store that was open and explained to them.

"Looks like this, does Xiangzi want to give it a try?" Shirakawa Kazuya looked at Xiangzi's curious look and guessed that she might be interested.

Xiangzi nodded, "Is that okay? I kind of want to try it."

Masamune Kawakami rushed to the store first, "Boss, how do you sell this?"

"Which one do you want?" The boss is an old man with a kind face.

"Just this one with pancakes, Xiangzi, is that okay?" Kawakami Masamune stuck his head out and asked Xiangzi.

Shirakawa Kazuya smiled and pushed him, "Why, do you want a treat?"

"Yes, Bai Chuan, your sister is my sister! You won't allow her to have something to eat, right?"

Kawakami Masamune has always regarded Shirakawa Kazuya as his good friend. Ever since he was rescued by him in the Kendo Club last time, he has always wanted to repay him, but he has never found any opportunity.He would like to be nicer to his sister and strive to get the status of 'brother's best friend' from Xiangzi.

Xiangzi and Kawakami Masamune had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other. She looked at Shirakawa Kazuya and said, "Okay, is that okay?"

"Okay, we don't have to be polite to him, let's eat as hard as we can!" Shirakawa Kazuya agreed.

"Then, let's have this with pancakes." Xiangzi nodded towards Kawakami Masamune.

Kawakami Masamune asked the others, "Does anyone else want to try it? I'm treating you to a treat. Don't miss this opportunity. Don't come again."

"No need, because I'm going on a long trip, so I have a full breakfast." Nagata Chika waved her hand and refused with a smile.Others answered the same way. "Okay, boss, two of these pancakes with spicy mentaiko."

"A total of [-] yen." The boss skillfully dug out two spoonfuls of orange-red spicy mentaiko that looked like small pearls, put them on the pancakes, put them in a bag and handed them to them.

The group of people continued to walk forward. Shirakawa Kazuya looked at Xiangzi and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Salty and spicy, it goes well with rice, and it's delicious to eat with pancakes. And it looks very good, crystal clear, which makes people more appetizing." Xiangzi nodded and took another big bite.

"Next, turn left and enter the next intersection." Several people followed the navigation and turned a corner and continued walking forward.

"Hey, what is this? It's very beautiful." Nagata Chinatsu's attention was attracted by the glass counter next to it, which contained various small dolls.

"Old-name-ren-puppet-store." Xiangzi raised her head and read out the words on the sign.

"Doll? Is it the kind I imagined that can be inflated?" Masamune Kawakami was a little shocked.

"Put away the messy thoughts in your mind!" Megumi Ando slapped him on the back.

"sorry!"

Nagata Chinatsu looked at them, "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Tsukichi Chihaya looked at the time and nodded. "Okay, but after seeing this store, we have to go to the station."

"Okay, I'll just take a look and make sure you don't touch it!"

Nagata Chinatsu agreed, walked into the store with great interest, and looked at the small dolls placed on the counter.

Shirakawa Kazuya and the others also entered the store.Shirakawa Kazuya picked up an unpainted puppet and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.Most of the dolls are oval, like the shape and size of a goose egg, but there are many lines and textures on them to form the shape of the body, and then they are painted with colors and they are done.

"Want to give it a try? Our store has launched a project to create your own doll. You can choose the paint to color it yourself." A store clerk came over and introduced them to them with a smile.

"It sounds good, but we don't seem to have enough time. Let's talk about it when we get back." Shirakawa Kazuya smiled and rejected her.

"Look, you are tourists, right? Where are you going?"

"Go to Hakata." Nagata Chinatsu put down the geisha-like doll in her hand.

"That's it, okay." The clerk smiled a little reluctantly, stopped talking, and went to entertain the next wave of customers who came through the door.

When they walked out of the door, Shirakawa Kazuya asked curiously, "Why did she ignore us as soon as she heard that we were going to Hakata?"

"Because the full name of these dolls is Hakata dolls. Even if her store is really a time-honored brand, it can't compare to the place where it originated. We went to Hakata and saw doll shops everywhere. How could we come back to take care of them? Her business?" Chihaya Tsukichi saw through the clerk's thoughts at a glance.

"I see." It is true that he has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. Shirakawa Kazuya has learned a lot of new things along the way. He feels that it is beneficial to travel more. He can learn a lot of knowledge and broaden his horizons.

"Okay, we're almost there." Kinoshita Maki pointed to the station not far away.

"This time we are going to do a suspended tram. None of you should be afraid of heights." Yuechi Chihaya glanced at them.

Xiangzi was a little nervous, thinking secretly, suspended tram?Is the car upside down and hung on the wall?Big city, so awesome!
