Kanagawa Taoist College Students

After coming out of the convenience store, Li Xuehao and his party were going to one of the more famous shopping streets in Yokohama City. The distance was a bit far, but for the three of them, walking there was a different experience.

The only thing that was wrong was that a certain little girl was so ignorant that she actually got in between the two of them.

Although Li Xuehao had expected that this girl would do something bad, he never thought that it would be so bad. He deliberately separated himself from Midori Sawai, and the two didn't even have a chance to hold hands.

The little girl was chirping and talking non-stop along the way. She finished the snacks Sawai Midori gave her before she had gone far, and then she became dissatisfied with her desires: "Brother Haoji, when we get to the shopping street, I want to eat Potato cakes, lots and lots of potato cakes, potato cakes with dumplings, and oden-cooked potato cakes…”

As a foodie, I obviously know a lot about the special delicacies in shopping streets.

"Don't eat! Don't eat any of it!" Midori Sawai hit her on the head with a chestnut. As an older sister, it was natural to teach her a lesson.

"It hurts!" Sawai Yuko cried out in pain as she covered her head. Seeing her sister glaring at her again, she was so frightened that she quickly ran to the side, no longer daring to stay in the middle.

Li Xuehao got it right. Without the light bulb in the middle, he could hold Midori Sawai's hand.

"Brother Hao Er." Seeing the two holding hands together, the little girl showed a pitiful expression, as if she was about to be abandoned.

Sawai Midori glared at her again, and Li Xuehao knew that she was pretending to be like this on purpose. After thinking about it, he took her hand and said, "Let's go."

"Brother Haoji, Yuko likes you the most." The little girl suddenly turned into a happy face, and even her sister's glare was temporarily ignored.

…

A group of three people walked hand in hand to a shopping street called Sakuma. This street is not only famous in Yokohama City, but also has a high reputation in places outside Yokohama. It is also an indispensable "tourist" for many tourists from home countries when they come to Yokohama. One of the "resorts".

The total length of Sakuma Shopping Street is only about 500 meters, but there are more than 400 specialty shops, which shows how crowded the shops are, and this is precisely the main reason for attracting tourists.

Here, you can find value-for-money food stores, dry goods stores, fashion stores, cosmetics stores, daily groceries, and more.

The three sisters Li Xuehao and Sakai are just a drop in the ocean in this busy shopping street. Because there are people coming and going everywhere, and today is a weekend, if you are not careful, you will bump into people passing by. It’s not an exaggeration to say that there are so many people.

"Brother Koji..." Yuko Sawai's eyes were very sharp, or in other words, as a foodie, she had a radar specifically for food, and soon she was standing in front of a deli and refused to leave.

Li Xuehao took Sawai Midoriya and stopped. In front of the deli, there were colorful and appetizing delicacies on display, including oden, mixed rice, tempura, and even meat buns.

However, the front of the store was already crowded with people, and there was almost no room for the three of them to stand.

"You just finished breakfast, are you hungry? Yuko." Midori Sawai frowned. She didn't like being crowded in the crowd, but Li Xuehao, who was close at hand, noticed the small movement of her throat, thinking of the previous When I saw her eating snacks in a convenience store, I couldn't help but feel. She seemed to be a foodie too.

"Xiao Lu, I'll queue up. You guys go over there and take a rest." Li Xuehao pointed to a shop with relatively few people and asked them to wait for him there. Just now, the two sisters walked with him and greeted him after a long journey. It's nothing, but the two sisters obviously don't have the physical strength like him. And there are so many people here that it is inconvenient for two girls to squeeze in here.

"Yes." Midori Sawai nodded, understanding his intention.

Sawai Yuko just focused on food: "Kouji-nii, I want seafood rice bowl, octopus balls, tempura..." She ordered several foods in a row, but before she could finish, Sawai Midori was Pulled away.

Watching the two sisters walk into the shop that seemed to have little business, Li Xuehao started lining up to buy food.

After waiting in line for almost twenty minutes, it was finally his turn.

Based on what Sawai Yuko just ordered, Li Xuehao added a few more items and bought several bags.

After paying the bill, he carried the bag and walked towards the unpopular store. It's strange to say that given the reputation of Sakuma Shopping Street and today being a weekend holiday, the street is full of people, why is there not even a few customers in the store, considering that other stores are almost overcrowded.

When Li Xuehao walked over, Sawai Midori was talking to the clerk of that store, and Sawai Yuko was playing with her mobile phone alone, seemingly bored.

"Yuko." Li Xuehao called.

Hearing the voice, Sawai Yuko raised her head and saw that he was holding several bags in his hands. His face was filled with joy and he hurriedly came forward: "Brother Haoji."

"You can take whatever you want to eat." Li Xuehao gave her two bags, which was enough for her to eat.

"Yeah, yeah." The little girl put the phone back into her pocket, carried the bag aside, and prepared to feast.

Li Xuehao walked up to Midori Sawai. The clerk who was talking to her was a young woman in her twenties. She was wearing a T-shirt with the store name "Ise" embroidered on it. She looked ordinary, with a look of sadness between her eyebrows from time to time. flash.

It can be seen that this shop must have encountered some kind of trouble, otherwise there would not be even a single customer here except the Sawai sisters.

This is a dry goods store. Li Xuehao took a quick look. There are many dry goods in the store, and the varieties are complete. Common aquatic products include kelp, seaweed and other aquatic products. There are also many high-end products such as scallops, fish maw, sea cucumbers and abalone.

"The most famous thing in our store is Mukuro bonito flakes. Would you like to take a look?" The young female clerk was recommending the specialty products of the store to Midori Sawai.

Midori Sawai didn't know if he really planned to buy it, but he smiled and said, "Okay."

The female salesperson was a little happy. It seemed that her whole morning's sales had finally yielded results. She couldn't wait to take something like dry firewood from a shelf.

This is bonito, a smoked product of bonito. It is called bonito because the head and tail are removed and it looks like firewood after drying.

When using it, use a planer to cut off thin slices, which are bonito flakes. Bonito flakes are generally used to make dashi, which can make the dashi more delicious. Like kombu, it is an indispensable ingredient in Japanese dashi. .

"Guest, you can smell it first." The female clerk carefully cut off a few bonito flakes, put them on a small plate, and handed them to Sawai Midori.

Midori Sawai took the small plate, and Li Xuehao was watching from the side. The bonito fillets were light in color, with clear and delicate textures, and they were not broken into pieces after being planed. Not only did there not be a trace of fishy smell, but there was also a faint aroma. come out.

"This is a high-end product." Sawai Midori smelled it and quickly confirmed the quality of the bonito flakes. However, he was even more puzzled. With such a high-end product, why were there still no customers in this dry goods store, not even the door? Not many people passed by, and tourists stayed away, as if there was something in this store that scared them away.

"Yes, customer, how much do you need?" The female clerk looked very happy, as if the business had been completed.

Sawai Midori smiled slightly, looked around, and suddenly asked meaningfully: "There don't seem to be many customers in your store. Can you tell me why?"

"..." The female clerk's face froze, and she couldn't say anything else.

"That's because the Ise store is cursed." Someone walked in from outside the store. It was a middle-aged man. He looked a little decadent and was wearing a clerk's uniform with "Ise" embroidered on it like the female clerk.

"Store manager." The female clerk looked a little panicked when she saw him.

"Xiaosong, I said that the things in the store cannot be sold to ordinary customers at will." The middle-aged man walked over, first looked at the female clerk sternly, and then said to Li Xuehao and Sawai Midori, "You two Guests, I'm sorry, please go back." This kind of rushing attitude did not mean to open the door for business at all.

"Curse?" Midori Sawai and Li Xuehao looked at each other, and both saw a hint of curiosity and suspicion in each other's eyes. Neither of them were ordinary people. Naturally, they have a keen sense of supernatural things such as curses that ordinary people do not have. If If there is a curse, they will be able to detect it immediately.
