Lost and Spy

Chapter 1353 People from Hometown
Ruriko Motoyama's daily routine is fixed.

There is nothing wrong with when to do what kind of thing.

At 8 o'clock, she will go out on time to buy some necessities.

Then, she will ask the servants to take back the things that are finished.

And she must go to the Zorume pastry shop to buy her favorite snacks.

She is thirty-five years old this year, but she looks thirty at most.

Her gait was deliberate and her expression graceful.

The owner of the Kurume confectionery is Japanese.I have long been used to this woman coming to buy pastries every day.

Today, so early, there is already a customer in the pastry shop.

It's a young man with a pair of glasses and looks very gentle.

What he bought was the Japanese special snack "Mizuyokan", which is also what Ruriko Motoyama likes to eat.

Moreover, the young man also asked: "Is there really no cherry cake?"

A pure and fluent Kyoto accent.

God, how long has it been since I heard such a familiar Kyoto accent?This is the most beautiful and aristocratic accent in Japan.

Moreover, he was actually asking if there was any cherry cake?

It was also Ruriko Motoyama's favorite dessert.

"I'm sorry, really not." The owner of the pastry shop bowed: "I'm disappointed, the key is that there is no place to find suitable cherry blossom leaves."

"That's such a pity." The young man sighed: "Next time, I think I should bring you some cherry blossom leaves. You are the only place in Shanghai where you can eat such perfect Japanese dim sum."

"Thank you for your compliment, I'm really sorry." The boss smiled happily.

"Can you find suitable edible cherry blossom leaves?" Motoyama Ruriko couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I think I can find it." The young man glanced at Ruriko Motoyama: "Are you from Kyoto too? The south? Shiga Prefecture, or Osaka?"

"I'm from Shiga Prefecture." Ruriko Motoyama bowed slightly: "You are also from Kyoto."

"Yes." There was a bit of arrogance in the young man's tone: "I am from the south."

Instead of being angry with his arrogance, Ruriko Motoyama respected him more and more.

Even if they are both from Kyoto, they are divided into levels.

Parts of Osaka are included in the Kyoto area, but this part of the population is seen as vulgar, philistines who only know how to do business.

This is the case with the famous Osaka Division, which has nothing to sell on the battlefield.

This is, of course, because the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan deliberately formulated a policy to solve the tough folk customs in the Osaka area and the strong combat effectiveness of monks and soldiers, which led them to put down their weapons and do business to make money.

Then there is the western part of Shiga Prefecture.

The most honorable ones are without a doubt the city of Kyoto and the southern part of Kyoto.

People in Kyoto follow a strong concept of hierarchy. In front of this young man from southern Kyoto, Ruriko Motoyama even felt a little inferior.

"I'm so lucky to meet people from my hometown not long after I arrived in Shanghai." The young man said politely.

When she heard that the other party classified herself as a "hometowner", Ruriko Motoyama was very happy: "Ah, I can help you if necessary."

"I want to taste the local food." The young man was not polite: "But I don't know this city well, can I trouble you?"

"Of course." Ruriko Motoyama blurted out without thinking, "But I need to make a phone call first to ask for leave."

Being able to help people in my hometown is something I wish for.

In Shanghai, it is not so easy to meet an orthodox Kyoto person these days.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

The young man waited outside for about ten minutes. Ruriko Motoyama came back. He was in a hurry, and his footsteps were not as calm and elegant as before: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting. I'll take you there now. I'm Ruriko Motoyama, please Take care."

The young man smiled slightly:
"My name is Edogawa Conan, please take care of me!"

……

Ruriko Motoyama invited "Edogawa Conan" to a very tasty tavern in Shanghai.

The store is small, but the dishes are very distinctive, mainly Zhejiang dishes.

It starts at 6 o'clock in the morning, and as soon as the curfew in the Japanese-controlled area ends, people come to drink morning drinks, and it stays open until evening.

The two people called Zhejiang rice wine. There are two ways to drink this rice wine, one is to drink it directly, and the other is to add shredded ginger and plum slices and drink it after heating.

The latter drinking method is easy for northerners who don’t drink much or are used to drinking liquor, and it’s not easy to wake up once drunk.

Not to mention, this way of drinking, the Japanese especially like to drink after arriving in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Some Japanese are obsessed with it even more than their own country's sake.

So you can often see in various taverns, there are drunk Japanese people singing, dancing, crying and making a fuss.

Ruriko Motoyama also likes to drink a few sips at ordinary times, and what she drinks is this kind of rice wine after heating.

Edogawa Conan is very talkative, and his words are humorous, which makes Motoyama Ruriko grin from time to time.

What a fine Japanese man.

After drinking a pot of wine, Benshan Liu Lizi still couldn't get enough.

She was really reluctant to end it like this, so she ordered another jug ​​of wine.

Every sentence Edogawa Conan said sounded so novel and fascinating to her.

She wished she could stay here and talk with him until dark and then until dawn.

The tavern manager couldn't help but glance at these two people.

Good guy, these two Japanese have been drinking here since nine o'clock, it's already twelve o'clock, are they still drinking?

The second jug of wine was finally finished, Ruriko Motoyama really couldn't drink any more, but she was still reluctant to part with it.

"I'm really reluctant." Edogawa Conan also sighed: "But parting will always come. Ruriko, thank you for your company, I'm leaving."

"You, are you leaving?" A great sense of loss rose in Ruriko Motoyama's heart.

"Yes, I'm leaving." Edogawa Conan said suddenly, "But I don't know how to go back to the hotel."

"Ah, let me take you back." Motoyama Ruriko suddenly became excited again: "I am very familiar with this place."

At the very least, you can also accompany Edogawa Conan all the way.

"That's really troublesome for you." Conan Edogawa bowed slightly: "It's my luck to meet you in Shanghai."

……

Riko Motoyama sent Edogawa Conan to the hotel all the way.

Edogawa Conan stopped and said, "Do you need to go up and have a cup of tea?"

Motoyama Ruriko hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's why I'm going to bother you."

A noble Kyoto native.

A fellow countryman of his own.

A young man with such a good sense of humor.

why not?So Motoyama Ruriko followed Edogawa Conan into the hotel room.

What else could happen to a man alone and a woman alone in a hotel room?
