Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 139

"Maybe I didn't explain it clearly to you just now, but I don't think you need such a detailed explanation. Obviously I was wrong. So let me say it again - can you not use wanting to ask questions as an excuse? We’re playing at my house! Don’t I want a break?”

Natsuki handed Tachibana a glass of water, his face full of disgust.

"Oh, my, I really have a question to ask."

Tachibana Aya took the water cup and looked at the cup that she personally selected. She felt that her aesthetics was indeed pretty good. This simple cup really matched this simple space.Xiaoxi was dozing next to Tachibana Aya, coiled up in a circle.

"You should still remember the setting that my hidden identity is the super-popular novelist Ryo Taketsuki, right?"

"You said that your identity is a setting, you are really..."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Xia Zhi saw Tachibana Aya without any entanglements, and felt that he was a bit of a fool for caring about such a small problem, so he put the embarrassment out of his mind.

"Anyway, I'm still doing my job as a novel writer. And then, haven't I been using you as a source of material lately?"

"Don't mention this."

Xia Zhi, who was forced to accept the information, looked unhappy.

"Okay then." Tachibana Aya blinked: "Recently I've been interviewing a high school student from China."

"Isn't this still the same!?"

Xia Zhi rolled his eyes, but he still didn't say this sentence after all. He just wanted to end this conversation that made him hurt.

"Then, when I was imagining the background of the character, I suddenly realized that I didn't know much about China. Then, there are no books that comprehensively introduce China. I guess even if there is, there is no comprehensive one, or in other words, a comprehensive one. I was satisfied with it. So I thought about checking it out online, and then..."

"Then you went to the Chinese website to check?"

"Well, that's probably it."

Li Huacai spread out her hands.

Natsuki felt that he could more or less understand Tachibana Aya's thoughts. After all, there were so many things that China could introduce.Geographical conditions, natural environment, cultural landscapes, folk customs... There are dozens or hundreds of them. If you take them out and explain them in detail, you can produce information as thick as the Xinhua Dictionary.Therefore, the common books and magazines that introduce China are either introductory parts or relatively comprehensive introductions.

It is a detailed and comprehensive introduction. The total number of books like this can open a small library. Maybe a small library is not enough.

If you can’t find a convenient physical book, it’s really a good idea to turn to the Internet. But now there are real and fake things on the Internet, and it’s quite troublesome to search. It’s not easy to find the information you want. matter.Especially now that there are keywords in such titles, you will be redirected to a certain company's advertising page as soon as you open it, or the practical information that should be at the top of the search ranking is pushed to the bottom by someone else's high-priced advertisement. Even the ones on the next page are not uncommon.

Therefore, there are not many ways for foreigners to understand China.

In addition to the Confucius Institute, which has made great achievements in the process of spreading Chinese culture, it is probably the global social software that Chinese netizens apply for in order to show off in a high-profile manner, or they secretly browse to Chinese websites and see the sand sculptures on the Internet. The mutual strife between netizens is probably the main way for them to understand China.

Generally speaking, international friends’ impressions of the Chinese people probably come from the fixed impressions that were produced decades ago, which are probably the strong military force, steamed buns, tea, cheongsam, delicious food, etc., and maybe added As a chairman, they may not necessarily know more about the Chinese than the Japanese. After all, Two-dimensional culture has invaded the whole world, and then add the world's dominant Nintendo... haha.

I used to look up on the Internet whether Africa is poor or rich, and there were two answers.One kind thinks that Africa has a lot of exploitable resources and is considered rich. The other kind thinks that when it comes to Africa, it means war, death, chaos, poor medical conditions, and poor infrastructure... In fact, Africa is really quite rich. of.

If you think about it for a moment, you will realize how terrible a stereotype is.Although it can become a label for a country or an individual, most of what this label brings is a combination of pros and cons.

"So now I'm here to ask you questions. After all, it's my only source of income for the time being."

"To be honest, that's true, but don't you want to see what time it is now? It's nine o'clock in the evening. Can't you find another time? Or, can't you use some modern tools? ?For example, a mobile phone.”

"Isn't it often said that some things cannot be explained clearly without being spoken to face to face?"

"I'm sure those things will never include asking me about the situation in China." Xia Zhi's face turned dark.Taking the cup, he sat in a separate seat next to the couch in the living room.The cup in his hand is the same as Tachibana Aya. Obviously, Xia Zhi is very satisfied with the insulation and capacity of this cup. Although the color on the quilt is a bit gaudy, other than that Xia Zhi is very satisfied.

Xia Zhi took a sip of hot water. Although it was still warmer indoors than outside, drinking some hot water would still make everyone feel more comfortable.

Although autumn is a poetic and beautiful season, for Xia Zhi, it is a very distressing season.It has nothing to do with his surname. Xia Zhi has no special ideas in this regard. For example, people surnamed Xia will prefer Xia Tian, ​​and people surnamed Long will be more domineering. Although due to special reasons, Xia Zhi does I like summer more.

Not to mention other things, just a seasonal fruit, watermelon, can be eaten from the beginning to the end of summer, as well as ice cream, which is probably a winter specialty, or most of the juices and drinks - - Almost as long as it is juice made from common fruits, add a little ice cubes, and it is a hot summer, it will be quite refreshing to drink. This is especially important for Xia Zhi who likes drinks.

It's a pity that Xia Zhi's favorite summer passed like this without even realizing it.

But the passing of summer could not take away Xia Zhi's desire to drink. He boiled some water. He originally wanted to drink some coffee or something, but he gave up the idea - preparing coffee also takes some time. He just wants Tachibana to take the cat home as soon as possible.

"Actually, it's better to ask directly. After all, even among Chinese people, there are differences between individuals. You see, just because you like girls, it doesn't mean that all boys like girls."

"Do you know you are saying something very dangerous?"

Although this is true, is it really okay to just say it like this?What do you do to those macho men who are attracted by men?
Oh, they all know that the man is in love, and they don’t care what to do.

However, some time ago, the photos of the cross-dressing tycoon continued to circulate on the Internet, and the aftermath is still lingering. Over such a long period of time, some people's ideas have changed from "It would be great if it was a real girl" to "Even if it's not What does it matter about girls?" Such a change in concept is also a helpless thing, but it does not prevent Xia Zhi from feeling sad about it and said that please send him a copy of the photo.

"Okay, okay! Without further ado, let's get started. Just treat it like an interview."

"When I heard the word interview, my uneasiness only grew..."

Even if you know that there is no recording at all, it is just a matter of asking and answering questions between two acquaintances, but once you change the name of this kind of communication, that is, call it an interview, then the interviewee will always have more questions inexplicably. A serious, or flustered mood - friendly reminder, this does not include the bigwigs who are often interviewed.

Because interviews generally don’t happen to most people. Even if you pick up a random onlooker on the street, do you know whether this onlooker is true or false?too naive.

This is related to the rise in oil prices across the country, but the onlookers found in the news report said happily: "Warmly celebrate the rise in oil prices across the country!" If this was not a trick brought by the oil boss or the interviewer, then he must be a world-class big boss. Fool.

Speaking of which... there seems to be Mr. Liu, a citizen who buys food, Mr. Zhou, an e-sports prodigy, and Eason Chan, a lucky fan... Isn't this really a conspiracy of the TV station?Although Ao Jiang has had one, but it seems to be fake?

And in the final analysis, the interview is just for Tachibana Aya to express her pleasure...

"Ahem!"

Tachibana Aya cleared her throat and handed a microphone to Xia Zhi in her right hand. Xia Zhi then slapped it away with one hand.

"I would like to ask this international student from China, do you have anything you particularly like? Or is it a hobby or something like that?"

"...drinks, novels, and games."

"What kind of combination is this..." Tachibana Aya looked confused: "Okay, it doesn't really matter. As for the drink, is it coffee? I must have guessed it right."

"...Actually, I like any drink that tastes good."

"...Aren't you a little picky? You coffee drinker should act more elegant. Your character's personality will be smoothed out by you."

"Stop talking nonsense! I am who I am! Do people have to have personality?"

Tachibana Aya thought for a while: "Having no special personality is also a kind of personality, so you still have a personality."

These words are as poisonous as dreaming of being a salted fish, but running towards the dream all your life, and never being able to be a salted fish. Xia Zhi felt that this topic could not be continued.

Only if you don't work hard can you be a salty fish. Does working hard to be a salty fish count as hard work or salty fish?Can anyone give an answer.Chicken and egg or egg, chicken, this ultimate question is nothing more than that.

"So, what about novels?"
