Seeing Catherine's disappointed look, Bruce asked strangely: "How do these eggs taste?"

"Soft-boiled eggs without any seasoning."

"Really?" Bruce also cracked an egg, and after finishing the meal, he also looked disappointed: "Further inside, the hotel also has a barbecue in the woods. Maybe we can go there at night."

In addition to hot spring eggs, there are other foods that Catherine is also looking forward to, namely sushi and sashimi.

However, Catherine was still disappointed.

The sushi was okay, but the sashimi...

The taste of mustard was really unacceptable. This taste was so spicy and choking that Catherine immediately retreated.

"Buy a lunch!" Catherine changed her target again.

Bento, also known as Japanese box lunch.

There is no kitchen in the Japanese factory cafeteria. There is only a hot water room for making coffee and tea, a refrigerator, and a vending machine. In addition, there are tables and chairs for employees to eat and take breaks to drink and smoke.

As for eating, the company agrees to order a lunch box. Before getting off work at noon, the lunch box will be delivered by the lunch shop, and then the factory clerk will place the lunch boxes on the dining table one by one. After the meal, everyone will place the lunch box, bowls, chopsticks, etc.

Put them into the same basket, and after work in the afternoon, someone from the convenience store will take them back and clean them.

Although it was a work meal, it was obvious that this thing tasted much better than sashimi.

After finishing the meal, the next step is to take a bath in the hot springs.

The hot springs are divided into male, female and mixed.

Naturally, Catherine would not choose mixed bathing, so she and Elsa entered the women's bathing place.

The water temperature of the hot spring was just right, and there was no one in the pool at this time. It seemed that Catherine was right to choose this remote hotel, although the price was a bit high.

"Wow~ It's so comfortable!"

Catherine felt refreshed and stretched her body in the hot spring.

"Elsa, what's wrong with you?"

Elsa seemed a little distracted.

"I just saw the advertisement and it looks very good..."

"Advertisement?" Catherine raised her eyebrows.

"Let's go to the hot spring after taking a dip later~" Catherine smiled, then took a deep breath, sank into the hot spring, and immersed her whole body in the hot spring.

Elsa tilted her head, and then followed her down.

After soaking in the hot spring for about an hour, Catherine only felt that her whole body seemed to be half lighter.

After changing into a Japanese yukata, Catherine was then taken to the advertisement by Elsa. The advertisement seemed to be an old photo, and below it was an advertisement written in Japanese and English.

But...why does this woman look so familiar?

Catherine reacted suddenly.

This guy...can't be Cixi, right?

"Secret beauty recipes and recipes from the mysterious Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty..." This is the advertisement below.

"It can rejuvenate youth, make skin delicate, white hair turn black, and teeth grow back..."

Catherine had a weird look on her face. How could this thing be so similar to the TV commercials and adverts she had seen in her previous life?

However, Catherine also vaguely remembered that many Japanese and Korean cosmetic formulas seemed to come from the old lady.

Catherine really wanted to complain, just like Ci Xi... Haha, the weather is really nice today, but it's a bit too nice.

And when we waited for dinner, according to Bruce, we went to the barbecue place in the forest. In fact, we just had barbecue.

Japanese yakiniku restaurants usually only have two kinds of meat, one is beef and the other is chicken, and then there are various vegetables, fungi, etc.

The signboards of Japanese restaurants are very interesting. They like to use cloth curtains as signboards, which is like the cover of wine in ancient China. The signboard of this restaurant is hung on the counter inside the store. Japanese people like to "drink three restaurants", which means they have three restaurants in a row on the same night.

Go to different hotels to drink until you are drunk or have a great time. Therefore, it is natural for Japanese people to go to different restaurants to have the same meal.

But for Catherine, eating in a store is enough.

The boss is Japanese, but the menu is in English.

Although Japanese people's English is extremely substandard, fortunately they are mute English, and the Japanese have a good grasp of words.

The barbecue is very good, especially in this special style.

Although there were only chicken and beef, the beef was the legendary Kobe beef, which had a very good taste and whetted Catherine's appetite.

After eating the barbecue, Catherine picked up a glass of cold beer.

Japanese people usually drink a glass of cold beer first, and then drink other Japanese drinks. The traditional two categories are sake and shochu. In addition, some also like to drink foreign liquor and wine.

"Kate, you are not yet a minor!" Bruce reminded Catherine.

"But this is something you can only eat in Japan!" Catherine protested.

"Uh..." Bruce scratched his head, "Only this time, Kate!"

"Uh-huh!"

Catherine took a sip of cold beer, it felt really good!

Although Catherine doesn't like drinking, it is enough to experience the style, especially now that the weather is so hot.

"Pfft~"

It's really nice to put down the cup and feel this indescribable refreshing feeling.

I took a sip of cold beer, followed by Japanese sake.

The alcohol content of Japanese wine is very low. Sake is only 15%, soju is only 25%. Some places have 40% shochu, but rarely. Catherine added hot water, ice cubes, lemons, and plums to it - tradition

How to drink - Then, take a sip.

"Why doesn't it smell of alcohol?" Catherine scratched her head.

"Because it has been diluted a lot."

Bruce didn't add anything, but took a sip directly.

Hot springs, barbecue, and cold beer are indeed a kind of enjoyment.

After spending another whole day in the hot springs, Catherine will arrive in Tokyo. The custom-made clothes will probably be ready for a few days, so Catherine decides to go to Kyoto first.

Kyoto was called Heian Kyo in ancient times. It was built by a guy named Emperor Kanmu following the pattern of Luoyang City in the Tang Dynasty. From the founding of the capital in 794 AD to 1868, it has been the capital, economic and cultural center of Japan for more than a thousand years. It is regarded by the Japanese as

It is the "hometown of the soul".

Unlike Tokyo, Kyoto does not have the modern atmosphere of Tokyo, but has more of an antique atmosphere.

When Catherine came to Kyoto, the first thing she thought of was food.

——Kaiseki cuisine.

Not eating Kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto is like going to Beijing and not eating Peking duck.

The so-called kaiseki cuisine was first introduced from the temples in Kyoto, Japan. There were a group of practicing monks who followed the precepts and ate very simple and light meals. However, they were a little hungry and unbearable, so they thought of hugging warm stones.

In order to resist some hunger, it has the name "Kaiseki".

You have to go to Kyoto to see the real kaiseki cuisine. Kyoto is a city built after Luoyang City in the Tang Dynasty.

"It's a pity that I can't go to Hokkaido to eat snow crab..."

Time does not allow it, and skiing is not allowed now. If it is winter, it is not impossible to go there by the way.
