Chapter 900 Golden Maru Seat

The leisurely and pleasant time just started. Although the speed of the car was very slow, everyone was not in a hurry and was happy to embark on the journey.

Of course, as the novelty of getting on the bus wore off, everyone gradually became bored.

Of course, Karasawa had already expected this kind of thing, so he took out a necessary prop for playing time when traveling with many people - playing cards.

With this card, everyone who was originally tired of the novelty began to play cards with great interest.

But even so, too long a time will bring some fatigue to people, especially for some people who are not very interested in this trip.

Although Mouri Kogoro enthusiastically joined the card game at first and fought fiercely with Xiaolan and Conan in the "landlord battle", he soon lost interest.

There is no way, Xiaolan is the European Emperor, and Conan can kill two people with the help of card counting, leaving him alone to be beaten.

No one would be in a good mood for such a card game.

After being defeated by Xiaolan, the European Emperor, again, Mouri Kogoro threw his cards on the seat.

"If you don't play anymore, you won't win. It's so boring."

Mouri Kogoro loosened the tie around his neck and said with a bored expression: "I have been playing cards for such a long time, and suddenly I feel very thirsty.

When can I get there? I can't wait to have a beer. "

"Really, Dad, it's not easy for us to get to the Four Kingdoms." Xiaolan said dissatisfied.

"That's right." Yuanzi, who was playing cards with her sister and Karasawa, came over dissatisfied after hearing this: "Eating is more important than drinking!"

“Sanuki Udon!”

Almost in unison, Xiaolan and Sonoko said the name of this food to Mouri Kogoro.

"I got it."

After looking at Sonoko and then at Xiaolan beside him, Mouri Kogoro scratched his face helplessly and could only give in, "I'll just listen to you."

But then he spoke again, with a flattering smile on his face, and he made a cup-like drink with his hand: "But before that, I want to moisturize my throat first."

"No."

Xiaolan said angrily: "I don't know about you, dad. If I really want you to do this, I don't care if you fall asleep while watching the show!"

"That is to say, it's rare that Mr. Tamanosuke called us specifically to invite us." Sonoko held her right hand with her left hand in a praying posture, looking like a nymphomaniac, which made Karasawa's mouth twitch.

You said a good young lady, how come she has no airs and is so easy to become a nymphomaniac?
  "This kid really doesn't know who he looks like."

Ayako helplessly raised her forehead when she saw her sister's appearance, and then reminded: "Sonoko, don't forget that you still have a boyfriend."

"what"

After hearing this, Yuanzi seemed to realize that his behavior was a bit rude, and he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment: "I know, I have not forgotten Ah Zhen!"

"It's been a while since I last saw Brother Kyogoku." Conan said with a smile.

"Ah, Ah Zhen has been participating in a competition recently." Yuanzi smiled and said, "I heard that he has won fifty games in a row."

"Hey, that's awesome." Xiaolan said with interest after hearing what Sonoko said: "I wonder which competition Mr. Kyogoku participated in."

"Hey, what kind of competition is this?" Yuanzi smiled awkwardly: "I forgot the name."

‘Do you really consider this person your boyfriend? ’

After hearing Yuanzi's words, everyone present complained in their hearts at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding.

Of course, because everyone was muttering in their hearts, it was natural that Yuanzi was so "cute" on the surface.

After the topic unfolded, everyone's attention changed from playing cards to chatting. No matter how slow the journey is, there is an end. The group got off the train and arrived at their destination - Shikoku.

Compared with Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island is less well-known and has a sparse population. Some people in Tokyo even discriminate against people here.

However, there are bad guys who discriminate against people everywhere, and those guys are the least qualified.

Every place has its advantages and disadvantages. Guys who think they are superior to others are the clowns who cannot get on the stage.

Of course, these are all digressions. Everyone was still very excited after arriving at their destination. After all, traveling always makes people feel happy.

And as soon as we walked out of the station, this feeling became even stronger.

On the bridge at the entrance of the station, there are various flags with the names of various theater groups written on them.

The flag of "Ito Tamanosuke" is also among them.

Until this moment, people can truly feel the charm of "Kampira Kabuki" in Shikoku.

Even the station has publicity about the "Kampira Kabuki Show", which shows that this is a grand event of the year for the entire Shikoku region.

"Ah, look, aren't these the flags of Mr. Tamanosuke?" Sonoko yelled after seeing those flags, attracting everyone to look at them.

"I didn't expect that kid is really famous." Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and said, "But don't let your guard down then."

"Huh, no way!" Sonoko said with dissatisfaction, hands on hips: "Tamanosuke's strength is obvious to all!"

"I'm not talking about him, his strength as a seat leader is still trustworthy."

Mouri Kogoro realized that there was an ambiguity in what he said, and quickly waved his hand and explained: "I mean the rich lady who was kidnapped last time, who is that?
  Later, her father agreed to let her work in the theater troupe. "

"You mean Miss Renka," Karasawa said with a smile, "Kataoka Renka."

"Yes, that's her!" Mouri Kogoro nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "She was probably an intern before. If she appears as an actor this time, I don't know if she can do it."

"Don't worry, if Miss Lianhua comes on stage, there will definitely be no problem!" Xiaolan said with a smile: "That bad thing happened before, but didn't she still accept the call and complete the performance well?

If Miss Lianhua can really perform this time, I believe she will be fine. "

"That's right, uncle, you worry about it for nothing."

Sonoko agreed with her best friend's point of view, and then stretched: "Instead of worrying about that, why not hurry up and go eat Sanuki udon!"

"Do you two have goals?" Karasawa asked, "Should Tamanosuke give you another recommendation?"

"That's right, he said that there is a "Miyatake Udon" here, which is unique here." Sonoko couldn't help but swallowed as she spoke and urged: "Let's go quickly."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."

Although he couldn't drink, Kogoro became excited when he heard that he was eating, and quickly urged the two of them to lead the way. Following the route given by Tamanosuke, they quickly arrived at the store recommended by the other party.

"Oh my God, is this the udon shop that everyone recommends?"

Looking at the small shop in front of him, Mouri Kogoro let out a "ha" and said suspiciously: "Isn't this just an ordinary house?"

"But there are some things that only small shops like this have flavor." Tang Ze didn't care at all. Instead, he was more interested in the things made in such small houses.

Generally speaking, the survival of this kind of small shop has its own uniqueness. It is a taste that has been passed down for a long time, and it is a taste that some people will remember with a name.

So after Karasawa saw this house with "Miyatake Udon" hanging on it, he began to look forward to the next delicious food.

"welcome!"

As soon as everyone entered the door, the middle-aged woman facing the door subconsciously welcomed the guests. At the same time, she did not stop cutting the noodles on her hands, neatly cutting the noodles on the chopping board into noodles of the same width.

"Oh! Aren't these the side dishes that go with wine!"

As soon as he walked in, Mouri Kogoro saw several side dishes placed on the large iron plate at the door, including fried fish, fried shrimp, fried pork chops, and some tempura, which looked extremely tempting.

"Brother Karasawa, do you want to have a drink together?" Mouri Kogoro enthusiastically hugged Karasawa and said, "How about I treat you?"

Because he knew that if he were alone, he would definitely be suppressed by the daughter of this family, so Mouri Kogoro came to "save the country through curves", hoping to bring Karasawa along.

In this way, for the sake of Tang Ze's face, Xiaolan would not say anything more even if she was a little dissatisfied.

"father!"

Sure enough, when Xiaolan heard Mouri Kogoro's words, she immediately cast a dissatisfied look in her eyes, which made Mouri Kogoro feel uncomfortable all over, and she could only place her last hope on Karasawa.

It's a pity that Karasawa still wants to prevent the case. How can he drink at this time? He simply refused: "There are performances to watch in the afternoon. If Mr. Mori wants to drink, I will accompany you in the evening."

"fair enough."

Although Mouri Kogoro was a little disappointed when he failed to win a "teammate", he finally did not dare to resist under the suppression of his daughter.

However, as the big bowl of udon came up, Mouri Kogoro's attention was completely focused on the noodles.

Udon noodles, also known as udon noodles, are wheat-based noodles, which are also one of the most neon noodles.

As for the other two types, they are soba noodles and green tea noodles, which are also indispensable protagonists in neon restaurants.

Looking at the large bowl full of udon noodles, Karasawa picked it up with chopsticks and couldn't wait to eat it.

The soup stock cooked with beef was fresh but not greasy. The rich flavor of the miso soup quickly occupied Karasawa's entire taste buds. After the first bite, Karasawa couldn't wait to take another bite.

"It's very yummy!"

After Xiaolan finished her first bite, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes, the taste is also very good and smooth." Yuanzi praised: "It is really authentic!"

Soon everyone took a second bite.

Compared with the rush of the first bite, the second bite was much more delicate, and Karasawa could also taste the unique flavor of udon hidden under the soup stock.

How can I describe the texture? It's somewhere between cut noodles and rice noodles. Generally speaking, the texture is a little softer, but chewy. With the store's unique soup, it's delicious and smooth.

However, noodles all have the same taste after all. For people like Karasawa who like rich textures, they will "like the new and hate the old" after just a few bites.

But the tempura and other snacks that the boss specially placed at the door were prepared for this.

The freshness of the fried shrimp, the salty aroma of the pork chop and the satisfaction brought by the meat, paired with a bowl of udon noodles like this, can't be more satisfying.

After a bowl of udon came down, Mouri Kogoro stopped talking about drinking. Instead, he looked at the noodles and said with great interest: "In that case, I'll fight!"

"Fight for what?"

After hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, everyone looked puzzled.

"That, that!" Mouri Kogoro pointed to the challenge advertisement hanging on the wall.

"Eh?"

Looking at the challenge advertisement hanging on the wall inside the store, Xiaolan and Sonoko couldn't help but exclaimed: "Challenge to eat all the Sanuki Oolongs!?"

But having said that, Xiaolan and Sonoko finally stopped Mouri Kogoro from overestimating his capabilities.

After eating, everyone planned to go to their destination - "Golden Maru Zao".

Because the shop is at the foot of the mountain at Kanemaruza, everyone set off towards their goal after eating and resting.

Yes, Kanamaruza is on a mountain, halfway up the mountainside of the shrine to be precise.

They only found out about this when they met a kind-hearted shop owner when they were preparing to go up the mountain.

The boss at the time specially gave them hiking sticks. At first, Kogoro Mouri felt that the other party was looking down on him and muttered, "What kind of crutches are you using? How old are you?"

But.
  Apparently he overestimated his age.

As the saying goes, listen to others' advice to eat enough, especially in a place where you are unfamiliar with your life. If you don't listen to the locals' kind reminders, the misfortune will be almost visible to the naked eye.

"Ha ha."

Holding a trekking pole in one hand, Mouri Kogoro gasped for air after climbing a flight of stairs with his other hand on his leg.

"How many steps are there here!" Mouri Kogoro looked at the endless steps above and couldn't help but screamed in despair.

"I just looked at the travel brochure for the Gohongu Shrine. It said there are a total of 785 steps."

Karasawa on the side heard Mouri Kogoro's question and replied with a smile: "Now, we probably have only climbed two or three hundred steps."

"Eh?" Mouri Kogoro and Sonoko on the side were shocked after hearing Karasawa's words: "Seven hundred and eighty-five"

Obviously, this value far exceeded the expectations of these two lazy guys. Sonoko directly used her superpower to find a human-powered sedan next to her to lift her up, while Mouri Kogoro continued to climb up hard.

On the other hand, Karasawa and the others didn't think it mattered. After all, on this small step, he and Ayako's physical strength was very light, but Conan, Xiaolan and the others kept walking on the steps.

Walking halfway up the mountain, everyone also arrived at their destination "Kanamaru Zao", but after discussion, everyone decided to go up the mountain to pay homage first.

After discussing the next itinerary, Xiaolan turned around and found that her father was missing.
