Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 341 I want to apply for a Crimson King experience card
Holding the card in one hand, Xia Zhi and Shiraishi Rika walked to their next destination.Although he already had a clear goal, Xia Zhi was still a little overwhelmed by the many activities he saw along the way. Xia Zhi even saw a lot of reserved programs that can only be seen in large-scale events in Japan, such as Talking about fishing for goldfish and candy apples...Xia Zhi always felt that it was weird there.

"What's wrong?" Shiraishi Lihua looked at Xia Zhi next to her with a strange look on her face.

"According to my memory, shouldn't fishing for goldfish and apple candies be the kind of things that only appear on the night of some festival?" Xia Zhi drew it with his hands. Although he worked hard, he wanted to say The things probably cannot be expressed clearly with messy gestures.

Shiraishi Rika looked at Xia Zhi and asked uncertainly: "Is Xia Zhijun talking about the summer festival?"

"It seems to be called this, right?" Xia Zhiji was not sure.

"That's right. Fishing for goldfish is indeed a traditional activity of the Summer Festival. But does Xia Zhijun know about the Summer Festival?"

"From anime and novels..."

Although this is a cultural creation, projects related to Japanese traditional festivals will not be tampered with casually, right?Xia Zhi was a little unsure.

"I see, then how much does Xia Zhijun know about the Summer Festival?"

"Just catch goldfish."

Xia Zhi said awkwardly.This level should be similar to the situation where when I hear Chinese Kung Fu, I think of Bruce Lee and only Bruce Lee.

Baishi Lihua didn't care much: "The summer festival is also called a temple fair, or a fireworks festival. If you watch anime, Xia Zhijun should know about the fireworks festival, right?"

"I do know something about that."

In fact, it is similar to China. There will be large-scale fireworks performances in the evenings of some major festivals, but such activities are mainly concentrated around the Spring Festival in China.Speaking of which, Japan's fireworks displays always appear in summer...

"Summer Festival is an event held in Japan in summer. It is one of Japan's traditional festivals. Although the time is set in mid-August, it may be slightly earlier or later due to weather. Fireworks festivals and festival parades In fact, it is one of the activities of the summer festival. In addition to this, there will be some other activities, and many interesting products will be sold. In this way, there are actually many similarities between the school festival and the summer festival. of."

“In addition to food such as takoyaki, taiyaki, apple candies and marshmallows, there are also activities such as goldfish fishing, water balloons, ring roping and pot throwing, and some more festive products will be sold, such as masks, Folding fans and wind chimes." Shiraishi Reika counted on her fingers: "Xia Zhijun saw goldfish fishing scenes in anime mostly at night, maybe because the summer festival is more lively at night than during the day."

"During the summer festival, there will be festivals and parades during the day, visits to shrines, shopping on the streets, and other activities that are better held during the day. At night, lanterns will be hung up, and various stalls will be connected together to fish for goldfish and the like. The activities will also become more atmospheric. More importantly, at night, when the sky turns completely dark, you can’t see anything but stars and lights. This is the most appropriate time to set off fireworks.”

"But summer festivals don't have to be held in all of Japan on one day. Because the weather conditions in different regions are different, we will make arrangements when available. Also, there are three major festivals in Japan. Does Xia Zhi know?"

This question had obviously touched on Xia Zhi's knowledge blind spot, and he shook his head simply.Rika Shiraishi was obsessed with being the commentator and continued to explain to Natsuki with a smile on her face: "In Japan, all summer festivals can be called summer festivals, but there are three largest festivals in the summer festivals, from morning to They are the Kanda Festival in Tokyo, the Gion Festival in Kyoto, and the Tenjin Festival in Osaka. The longest one is the Gion Festival in Kyoto, which lasts for nearly a month."

Natsuki guessed that there would be no holidays during the summer festival. Otherwise, if this Gion Festival dared to take a holiday, Kyoto might be completely bankrupt.

"The scale is so big." Xia Zhi sighed.

"Well, except for the Gion Festival in Kyoto, which doesn't have a holiday because it's too long, the Osaka Tenjin Festival and the Tokyo Kanda Festival should have small holidays, and it's not that far from Chiba. Tokyo is very close, so you can go there anytime. You can go to any of them. As for Osaka, you can get there if you spend a little time.”

Xia Zhi understood and suggested "consciously": "Then do you want to go and see it together then?"

"Okay!" Shiraishi Lihua looked very happy.

Sure enough, even Shiraishi Rika, a local, is still not uninterested in such a large-scale festival.The same goes for Xia Zhi. Even if he knows that he won’t be able to enjoy the Spring Festival when he goes back, he still has to go back to soak up the atmosphere of the Spring Festival and see his family and friends. The festival is secondary. The key is to have the idea of ​​enjoying the atmosphere of the festival. .

Although Xia Zhi is not a person who likes to join in the fun, and his sense of ritual is not particularly strong, not to mention that this is not a festival of his own country and nation, he is still quite interested in the summer festival that is often seen in novels and anime.They have already gone abroad, but they turned a blind eye to such a large-scale celebration. This is a waste of spiritual wealth.

Every nation has its own advantages and disadvantages, and national festival celebrations are a concentrated display of the nation's advantages. Relatively speaking, this place is filled with almost all good aspects, and Xia Zhi has no need to avoid it.

However, it’s only January now.Even the Tokyo Kanda Festival, which was the first to start, is still a long time away, not to mention that Chiba is also a very large gathering place for human beings, so it is natural that there will be its own festival here.Although the more lively the festival is, the better, but there is no need to go to the biggest festival to serve as a headdress.

If you want to go to the Great Wall, instead of waiting for a long vacation to squirm with the crowds of people, it is better to wait until the tourist off-season and find an opportunity to go. The same principle applies.

"So, Xia Zhijun, do you want to go and watch Laolao? Just think of it as practice for the Summer Festival." Shiraishi Lihua suggested.

"No need. Except for exams, I'm not used to practicing such things in advance." If you become very proficient in something you do often, there is nothing you can do about it. There is no one like Xia Zhi who has nothing to do with fishing for goldfish. Opportunity skilled.Instead of wasting his interest and curiosity in catching goldfish in this daytime with little festive atmosphere, Xia Zhi chose to save his first experience of catching goldfish until the summer festival.

"That's it." Shiraishi Rika was slightly disappointed, but her disappointment was quickly replaced by another thing: "You can already see it, Xia Zhijun."

what did you see?
Xia Zhi followed Baishi Lihua's gaze and saw at a glance what Baishi Lihua was referring to.A sign about three meters high and half a meter wide stands there, with the words "Cooking Research Society Cooking Competition" written on it. It may be to make the sign more conspicuous. These words are made of bright red paint. , and there was no intention at all when I wrote it, or I didn't expect that the paint would slide down. The whole sign looked like a sign written with blood in a movie, and it made Xia Zhi cringe even though it was daytime.

Xia Zhizhi couldn't help but open the card in her hand, looked at it, and found that the event held by the Cuisine Research Club was not a haunted house, and then she put it away: "I don't think this Cuisine Research Club wants to hold it properly at all. Event ideas.”

Xia Zhi, who didn't get a response, looked at Shiraishi Rika next to her. She was looking at the sign that was far away and not so obvious before, and the happy atmosphere was disappearing from her side.Xia Zhi, who is well versed in the art of detecting atmosphere, felt the emotional changes of Shiraishi Reika: "What's wrong?"

Hearing Xia Zhi's voice, Shiraishi Lihua came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just thinking... This is really a unique brand."

Xia Zhi also nodded in agreement.

If there weren't any relatively lively and popular voices over there, Xia Zhi would always feel that this was a haunted house wearing Culinary Research Club clothes causing trouble.However, their broadcast was quite reassuring.

"The third Tianyu Gao Cuisine Research Club Culinary Skills Competition is now in full swing! The last two entries are available! Come and join in! The winners will receive exquisite gifts from the Cuisine Research Club!"

Amidst such shouting, Xia Zhi walked towards the scene with Shiraishi Lihua.

"We want to sign up!" Xia Zhi waved his hand.

"Oh? Two brave challengers have already appeared!" The host looked at Xia Zhi happily.

"No. I won't participate." Xia Zhi shook his head.

"Eh?" Shiraishi Lihua looked at Xia Zhi doubtfully: "Xia Zhijun won't participate?"

"I definitely can't handle such a competition with my cooking skills, but it's much easier for you, Lihua. I'll cheer you on down below, and buy some drinks by the way. Do you want some juice?" "

"But, if I'm alone..."

"As for Lihua, there must be no problem." Xia Zhi smiled: "I have never seen such an outstanding person like you since I was born... No, I have only seen one... No, I have only seen one... No, I have only seen one Two, plus you, that’s three.”

Needless to say, my sister is the number one person in the world.Although there is a problem with the brain circuit, Tachibana is undoubtedly a person with excellent personal ability, and basically belongs to the impeccable Lihua Shiraishi.Xia Zhi has never seen such a top-notch person in his life.

"You can't be so comforting!" Baishi Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Come on, Lihua, let these people see your cooking skills. If you win, you can also promote our class's coffee shop." Xia Zhi is very good at calculating, but to be honest, it's a little bit not so good. , Xia Zhi thought for a while: "If I can win, I will be very happy. I can show off to others that this is my friend or something, and it feels good."

!!!

Shiraishi Lihua smiled softly: "I will definitely do it."

"Then I'll buy some juice for the celebration first, come on."

Shiraishi Rika nodded, then turned and walked towards the competition site.The winner must be mine!

"Oh! The contestant is here! It can be seen that she is very confident, her whole body is full of... murderous intention?" The host's excited words were stuck, and the corners of his eyes twitched.The No. 2 contestant's momentum was so strong that the host was a little scared.Fortunately, the last contestant also raised his hand after Shiraishi Rika, which relieved his embarrassment.

Xia Zhi watched the confident Shiraishi Lihua walking up, nodded, turned around and walked out of the crowd.This is not a food comic. How could a second five-star chef appear in an ordinary high school?This probability is simply the same as picking up an unclaimed 2080ti while walking on the road, so small that it does not exist.

Shiraishi Rika's victory can be celebrated in advance. Although she doesn't know why she feels like the big one is bullying the small ones, Xia Zhi doesn't really care.Anyway, that little girl is not Shiraishi Reika, so what does it have to do with her?Just go buy some celebratory juice.

Xia Zhi was in a simple mood and walked towards the drink stall he passed by just now.Depending on your mood, you might even secretly buy some snacks and eat them while Shiraishi Rika is still competing and can't see you.Although it’s not that I haven’t thought about buying a bag of popcorn or something to watch from the sidelines, it’s a little too disrespectful and could easily get beaten, so I’d better forget it.

In the end, Xia Zhi couldn't hold back. He took out the change from his pocket and bought a box of takoyaki. He put two drinks in the bag and hung them on his arms. He ate the takoyaki and walked back to the cooking competition. venue.The game had been going on for a while, and there were a lot more onlookers than before. It was very difficult for Xia Zhi to squeeze in.

While saying sorry, he counted among the crowd, and it turned into the situation of going to the magic show and music performance this morning. The difference was that when Xia Zhi was squeezing, a takoyaki fell out of the box, and Xia Zhi looked at it. I watched it rolling on the ground, feeling distressed for a long time.He bent down and strung it up with bamboo sticks, and put it in an empty box. Just when he was about to find a trash can or something to throw it away, a burst of cheers erupted from the scene.

Xia Zhi looked towards the playing field. Although there were eight men and women on the field, all wearing the same school uniforms and aprons, there was one person who always stood out so dazzlingly.She handled the ingredients in an orderly manner, moving so fast that her movements were almost unclear. The host stared at her performance, and even the other contestants on the side were stunned.

Still perfect as always.

"Lihua, come on!" Xia Zhi shouted while standing in the crowd, but it still reached her ears in this noisy scene.

She raised her head and looked in Xia Zhi's direction with a smile. She wanted to nod, but something attracted her attention.

???

Xia Zhi raised his head slightly and saw the takoyaki box in his raised hand.

Coach, can I request a stand-in for the Crimson King?You don’t have to have it all the time, just use it once, once and that’s it…
