Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

In the Nippori area of ​​Arakawa District, Kashiwagi brought Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro to a warehouse built of iron sheets.

Because of the wind and the sun, the original silver iron surface has already become rusty, and as the wind blows from time to time, it makes a crunching sound that makes teeth sour.

There is not even a wall around the warehouse, just use a few wires to perfunctorily surround the site, and then it's done.

The Arakawa District in the late 1970s was far from being as modern as it was developed by later generations. Especially in the Nippori area, there are low-rise houses everywhere.

Most of the people living here are ordinary working-class people, and the streets are far less prosperous than Shibuya and Kichijoji.

Cigarette butts and rubbish are everywhere on the ground. Bai Chuanfeng can say responsibly that the RB environment at this time is simply two places compared with the later generations.

He can even scold the RB people in a contemptuous tone. Tokyo is synonymous with mess and mess, far worse than American dads.

Look at this tone, the old RB knows it.

Just when Bai Chuanfeng was in a daze, Bai Mu had already led them directly into the warehouse. The signage on the fence outside is useless.

Along the way, not only the interior of the warehouse, but also the open space outside were filled with all kinds of electrical waste.

Kashiwagi stood in a corner of the warehouse covered by a tarpaulin, pointed to them and said, "Hey, if you want to find useful things, you can only find them here."

He opened the tarp while talking, "The ones outside have been piled up in the warehouse for too long. The newcomers can't put them down and have to move them out, waiting for the recycling company to collect them away."

"Of course, sometimes if you're lucky, you might be able to pick up fresh goods at the gate of the fence. Those are just thrown there by nearby residents for convenience."

As the tarpaulin was uncovered, the true face of Lushan Mountain below was also revealed.

I saw all kinds of home appliances neatly arranged together. There are everything from refrigerators and washing machines to radios and hair dryers.

"Awesome." Seeing such a wide variety of electrical appliances, Bai Chuanfeng seemed to see a golden mountain.

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng's exclamation, Baimu couldn't help but smiled, "Xiaofeng, these electrical appliances are basically useless, there are more or less minor problems."

"But..." he closed his mouth.

"But what, Uncle Kashiwagi."

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng and Tiger Taro looked at him like curious babies, Kashiwagi nodded in satisfaction. "However, it is not impossible to find something of value."

After finishing speaking, Kashiwagi waved to Bai Chuanfeng and the others. Lead them all the way to the back of the warehouse, where there is another door.

Kashiwagi patted the iron door, "Matsumoto-san, it's me, Kashiwagi."

There was a rustling sound and muffled complaints from inside the iron door.

After waiting for less than two minutes, an old man in his sixties and seventies opened the door, "It's you again, didn't you just come here last month?"

While talking, the old man looked at Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro beside Kashiwagi with his eyes.

"Hey" Kashiwagi smiled sheepishly, "I just came to visit my father." Said Kashiwagi has already handed over the shopping bag in his hand graciously, which contained beer and cigarettes.

"Oh, that's right. These two are juniors from my hometown. They just came to Tokyo and happened to be short of some daily necessities. Let's see if there is anything that can be used here."

Matsumoto took the bag and glanced at it casually. It's okay, a little more than last time.

He nodded to Baimu with satisfaction, and then greeted Bai Chuanfeng and the others, "Come in."

The room is bigger than Bai Chuanfeng imagined, not only has shelves but also separate small rooms.

There are also all kinds of electrical appliances on the shelves, but the color is obviously much better than the outside. It is also sorted roughly by category.

This is not a room, this is more like a small warehouse.

Matsumoto put the things on the table casually, "The two little devils don't study well, so they came to Tokyo to make a living at such a young age. Be careful and suffer."

Just as Bai Mu wanted to explain something, Bai Chuanfeng signaled him to be calm.

"Father, please take care of me in the future." Bai Chuanfeng respectfully saluted the old man, followed by Kotaro.

Matsumoto shook his head and said nothing more.

"Everything is on the shelf. As for whether you can find something that is still usable, it depends on your luck."

After finishing speaking, Matsumoto took out the beer and bento on his own, and began to drink by himself.

"Father has such a temper." Bai Mu was afraid that Bai Chuanfeng would think too much, so he deliberately explained in a low voice.

Bai Chuanfeng shook his head, indicating that he was fine. What attracted him more at this time were the treasures on the shelves.

The more he walked over, the more he looked at it, the more delighted he was. This TV set newly launched by Panasonic last winter, Bai Chuanfeng had seen the advertisement, and the brand new one cost 148,000 yen.

There are also Sanyo's stereos, Hitachi's vacuum cleaners, Sony Sharp, etc., and so on.

He wanted all of these, but of course he knew it was impossible. Although Matsumoto signaled them to pick whatever they wanted, if he really took them all, he would be at a loss for what to do.

In the end, he picked and picked, and Bai Chuanfeng picked a Panasonic TV and a Hitachi cooking machine.

In fact, he was also optimistic about a set of Sony stereos, but today the three of them came empty-handed, and they didn't have a car. Too many things can't be moved.

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng picked out the TV, Matsumoto reminded him, "Boy, remind you that although the TV is the same as the new one, it only has sound but no picture."

Bai Chuanfeng froze for a moment, then said that it didn't matter, he was just messing around, pure hobby.

After picking something, they are also ready to leave.

"Father, Kotaro and I will come to visit you next time. We must let you taste the best sake in Akita."

When Matsumoto heard the words Akita sake, his throat visibly moved a few times.

He was noncommittal to Bai Chuanfeng's words, but nodded to express his understanding.

When Bai Chuanfeng mentioned sake, he came up with it on the spur of the moment when he saw all kinds of beer bottles in the small warehouse.

From this alone, we know that Matsumoto is a good drinker. But sake is much more expensive than beer, and most people can't drink it a few times a month.

But these are nothing to Bai Chuanfeng at all. Akita sake is famous, but it is a local specialty of his hometown. What is missing? Even my mother brews some every year and keeps it for drinking.

After leaving the warehouse, after listening to Bai Mu's explanation, Bai Chuanfeng finally understood. Matsumoto is the administrator and caretaker here.

But it's called a warehouse, but it's actually a home appliance dump. No normal person would come here, and only a bitter haha ​​like Kashiwagi would come here to search for things.

So whenever someone like Kashiwagi came to shop for goods, he would bring something to Matsumoto. Beer, cigarettes, lunch boxes, and so on.

And Matsumoto turned a blind eye to these things, everyone was like an ant. Life is already quite difficult, there is no need to embarrass each other.

Anyway, this place is almost in the zone of "three no one cares", and the government will not count how much garbage there is.

After a long time, Matsumoto even picked out some things that looked good and stored them separately, but they were only open to people who knew them well.

When leaving here, Bai Chuanfeng ran back to the big warehouse and brought back a TV that was exactly the same as before.

"Hey, Xiaofeng. The outside is real garbage, why are you picking it up?"

Bai Chuanfeng smiled and didn't explain much.

The "mysterious" Bai Mu looked at the beaming Bai Chuanfeng, wondering why he was so happy.

That guy Tiger Taro was even more stupid, following Bai Chuanfeng around, Bai Chuanfeng laughed, and he laughed too.

Happy New Year!
