Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

At five o'clock in the evening, Ueno Station, Tokyo.

"Si Guoyi, this is Tokyo."

As soon as he got out of the car, Kotaro opened his arms and spun around, looking at everything around him curiously.

It was also the first time Bai Chuanfeng came to Tokyo, but he was still surprised by the modern facilities in the station.

Bright lights, a floor where people can be seen, various vending machines, ticket machines...

In domestic millennials, these are very common.

But it's only 1978 now, and it hasn't even entered the 1980s.

Compared with my hometown in Akita in the northeast, this place is simply the ultimate embodiment of civilization, and there seems to be a century of difference between the two.

"It's really powerful." Bai Chuanfeng sighed sincerely. No wonder so many people in the Northeast are willing to abandon the land and become a big city.

Most of the people who got off the bus with them were from the northeast of Honshu Island. Like them, some people came to Tokyo for the first time. Facing modern civilization, they were a little bit at a loss, and even stunned.

Some of them are obviously not the first time, and they have already skillfully greeted their companions just after getting out of the car, and follow him.

Ueno Station is almost a necessary place for the "Dong Piao" family to come to Tokyo, especially for the Northeast.

They embraced huge dreams, endured hard work, and traveled back and forth between Ueno Station and their hometown countless times.

For some people, seeing the round clock on the platform of Ueno Station is like seeing the face of their mother.

On the way, the thin young man who was helped by Kotaro drew his sword, looked at the round clock, listened to the accent in his ear, and cried as he walked.

Seeing Bai Chuanfeng from a distance, he lowered his head and wiped a couple of hands indiscriminately, then bowed slightly to Bai Chuanfeng.

Bai Chuanfeng nodded with a smile, and looked away politely.

"Bai Chuan-kun, remember that you can contact me if you have any questions. There is no Ota... Cough, there is nothing that I, Yamada, can't solve."

"Thanks to Ota-san for taking care of me."

When Ota left with his younger brothers, he did not forget to say goodbye to Bai Chuanfeng and the others.

Seeing the gradually dispersed travelers, Bai Chuanfeng and Kotaro also left the platform through the passage.

…

At the beginning of the evening, when the Tokyo lanterns come on, it shows a completely different appearance from the daytime.

The streets are full of neon lights, and people are coming and going. The bold and passionate girls, the shining and beating billboards, all make the country boys who have just arrived novelty.

However, no matter how novel it is, it will feel boring after watching it for an hour.

"Xiaofeng, did Uncle Cypress forget to pick us up?"

The two squatting on the side of the street looked at the street with people coming and going boredly.

"Maybe it's because I'm too busy at work."

Bai Chuanfeng was also not sure. Did this uncle from the same town whom he hadn't seen for almost a year forget that he still had the task of picking up people today.

Entrusted by Bai Chuanfeng's father, Bai Chuan Hayato, someone should pick them up when they leave the station.

But they waited stupidly on the spot for more than an hour, and no one paid any attention to them at all.

"Gululu", Tiger Taro touched his stomach a little embarrassedly, and saw Bai Chuanfeng looking over, "I haven't eaten much for a day."

No need to ask, he has already confessed honestly.

"Don't wait, let's go eat something first." Bai Chuanfeng got up, planning to fill his stomach first, and then lose the two living people, and it's not that he is illiterate.

"Ah, Uncle Kashiwagi won't see us later, so don't be in a hurry."

Although he said so, Kotaro had already stood up, even with his luggage on his shoulders.

"Haha" Bai Chuanfeng smiled heartily, "Don't worry, I think Tiger Taro's stomach is more important."

"Haha, Xiaofeng didn't expect you to be quite Asaxi."

The two carried their luggage and walked down the street, carefully looking at the places where restaurants were concentrated.

Not far away, they were soon attracted by a chic signboard.

"50 yen cafeteria"

Kotaro looked at the signboard and nodded seriously, "Well, although Tokyo looks prosperous, the prices are quite cheap."

When Bai Chuanfeng saw such a signboard, he also murmured, can't it, there are such cheap restaurants in Tokyo? A bit inconsistent with its bluffing cosmopolitan aura.

Compared with Bai Chuanfeng's muttering, Kotaro has already opened the white noren curtain at the door and entered the store.

This guy, the physical reaction is always faster than the brain.

Shaking his head, he also entered the store.

The shop is not big, and half of the customers are already seated inside. Putting the luggage at the foot of the table, the two were attracted by the pictures of food in the window.

There are all kinds of dishes on it, pork chop rice, fried shrimp rice, beef rice, egg rice, all 50 yen.

After taking a look, Bai Chuanfeng noticed that other customers in the store paid 50 yen, and the dishes would be served in a short while, and then they began to eat.

"Look, Xiaofeng, there are eels."

"Um?"

Tiger Taro pointed to the menu, which was full of a large piece of eel, his expression was full of excitement.

Although RB is close to the sea, there is no shortage of seafood. But eel and saury are not the same.

For them from the inland countryside, there is obviously no chance to pay more for such a high-class dish as eel.

Kotaro swallowed, and greeted the waiter.

"Hello, two servings of unagi rice."

The waiter "Hayi" heard the name of the dish ordered by Kotaro, his eyes were a little strange, but he still wrote it down respectfully.

The shop is not big, some of the customers who heard Kotaro's order raised their lips, and some lowered their heads and endured something.

Bai Chuanfeng frowned, he always felt that the eyes looking at them from around were a bit frivolous.

After a while, the cooking was finished, and with two "boom", "boom", it was placed on the table in front of Bai Chuanfeng and the others.

The two broke apart the wooden chopsticks, and opened the bowl lid hopefully. At first glance, a piece of eel the size of an elementary school student's eraser was placed on the rice.

"Ah", Bai Chuanfeng and Kotaro couldn't help shouting, their voices were full of disappointment.

Chi~chi~, the others who had been waiting for this moment for a long time tried their best to hold back their laughter.

These two guys don't know what's good or bad. For 50 yen, you can eat a big bowl of egg rice.

You insist on ordering eel rice with the most expensive ingredients, how could he cook it for you. That big chunk in the picture is deceiving.

Under the ambiguous gazes of everyone, even Bai Chuanfeng, who had lived once, felt a little uncomfortable.

As for Kotaro, his brows were raised upside down, and he couldn't help getting up and having a fit.

"Kataro, sit down."

"But…"

"Do you still remember Aunt Miki's explanation when she left?"

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng mention his mother, Kotaro sat down listlessly again.

Kotaro's mother knew her son's character, so she made a point of explaining that when he arrived in Tokyo, he would listen to Shirakawa Feng's orders.

And Tiger Taro could only listen to Bai Chuanfeng's words.

The people in the store who watched the jokes of the two of them looked even more contemptuous when they saw their old-fashioned clothes and the bags beside the table legs.

A country boy who doesn't know where he came from, he probably was dazzled when he came to Tokyo for the first time.

With such a weird atmosphere, Bai Chuanfeng and the others were destined not to stay for long. After hastily planing out the rice in the bowl, the two picked up their luggage and went out without looking back.

Regardless of the vague laughter behind him, Bai Chuanfeng stepped forward heavily on the road.

The impetuous wind whizzed past his face, and the rough and bitter dust filled his nostrils.

Tower cranes stand not far away, dimly illuminated by the lights, and the construction of the city is still going on.

Is this the dying "Flower Capital" Greater Tokyo that countless people yearn for?

In front of Bai Chuanfeng's eyes were those faces with different appearances, and his heart felt blocked.

No, this is fucking Tokyo!

It is also the end point where the dreams of countless people are realized and broken.

"Haga!", Kotaro stood on the side of the road and cursed, his face flushed, and then gradually returned to normal.

"Kataro, remember that Tokyo is not Akita, let alone Deer.

Here no one cares what you do or think, everything depends on yourself.

When you stand high enough, it is the best angle to appreciate Tokyo, and you can see the most beautiful Tokyo. "

Bai Chuanfeng's voice was very calm, but Kotaro seemed to see something in his eyes that had never appeared before.

"Yeah." Kotaro nodded heavily.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!
