After two days of group play, Siming almost couldn't get up on the third day.I really underestimated the physical strength of those young masters, the mental competitors who play Go can't afford to be injured.It wasn't until his sister's third urging phone rang that Siming slowly got up.

"Where are you going today?" After getting dressed, Siming moved his sore shoulders and asked Kanako while turning his head.The two had promised the little girl before that she would arrange the free activities on the last day.

"Of course I'm going to Ramen Republic! When you come to Sapporo, how can you not eat ramen. I'm going to spend all day in Ramen Republic today!"

"Ha ha……"

"Brother!" Kanako's rhetoric made the tourists around laugh. The little girl felt embarrassed, shyly grabbed Siming's arm and hid behind him.

"Okay, okay, let's go there quickly." Suppressing a smile, Siming pulled his sister out from behind, beckoning Riji to go on the road together.

Ramen Republic is on the tenth floor of esta, a pre-war shopping complex in Sapporo.The entire square is a retro streetscape design, centered on the four major ramen representatives of Hokkaido, including Sapporo, Asahikawa, Hakodate, and Kushiro, and consists of 8 stores.

When they came out of the hotel, several people had already had breakfast, so after entering the Republic, they went to the theme pavilion first.The theme pavilion reproduces the street scene of Sapporo from 1945 to 55. It is full of nostalgic atmosphere. It is also equipped with steam locomotives, wooden stations, and shrines. Siming and Hiyoshi once again acted as Kanako’s photographers. The scene of holding a camera and taking pictures of the cute little sister also attracted many tourists to the Republic.

Seeing how it was approaching noon, worried that there would be too many people queuing up later, the two went to Mei Guangxuan together with Kanako, who was still a little bit interested in taking pictures.

Mei Guangxuan's main product is Asahikawa soy sauce ramen. The noodles are curly thin noodles with relatively low water content. The soup is made from pork bones, fish and muscle. In order to prevent the soup from cooling down, the noodle soup is also covered with a layer of oil. .Although Asahikawa ramen is mainly promoted with soy sauce flavor, there are also more popular miso soup bases.Both Siming and Hiyoshi chose the more familiar ramen with miso soup base, while Kanako chose the soy sauce flavored ramen.Siming lightly skimmed off the top layer of oil and took a mouthful of soup with a spoon. Compared with the ramen in Tokyo, the ramen here is lighter, but it is precisely because of the lightness that you can taste tonkotsu, fish Refer to the original taste.At the same time, it has the unique sweetness of miso.Pick up a piece of char siew, put it in your mouth and chew it a few times, it doesn't feel very fatty. Generally speaking, Asahikawa ramen gives people a very light impression.

"Delicious." Kanako admired while chewing the noodles in her mouth. "The soup is not bad, the noodles are not bad, it's chewy, and it's quite flavorful..."

Siming took the napkin at the side and wiped off the soup from Kanako's mouth, "You're such a big man, and you still want to eat it? No one is robbing you. Is it enough? Let's call if it's not enough."

"No, I'll go to another store to try later." Kanako shook her head with a smile, and immediately lowered her head to eat the ramen in the bowl.That expression didn't look like eating ramen, but rather like eating some top-notch cuisine.

After leaving Mei Guangxuan, Kanako dragged the two of them back to Baihua Villa, where they also ordered a bowl of ramen. Siming and Riji looked at each other and ordered a bowl too.As a result, after eating, Kanako said that she still wanted to go to Ebetsu Ginporo.

"Kanako, can you still eat?" Siming looked at his sister's belly worriedly. If it was said that when he ate the first bowl, Siming was worried that Kanako, a snack food, would not be enough, and now he was worried whether the child would eat it. broken. "Will you hold on?"

"It's okay." Kanako waved her hand indifferently, and continued to order a bowl of ramen.

The two young men who thought they could eat sat dumbfounded in front of Kanako, watching the little girl eating ramen noodles.

"You don't know, I just looked at her like this afterwards, I didn't expect her to be so edible..." Sitting in the place where he usually made tea, Siming was telling the guests and Mr. Shibazaki about himself The experience of going hiking. "I was worried that she would be full, but after walking around the shopping mall, she actually said that she could have another bowl. I never knew that Kanako could eat so much."

"Brother." The little girl blushed and punched Siming, very dissatisfied with her brother's ridicule, "I just think it's delicious. It's a rare time to go, and I have to try everything. Right, Shibazaki gentlemen."

"Haha... There is nothing wrong with being able to eat. You can grow fast if you can eat." Sora Shibazaki said with a smile, and the surrounding guests also nodded.

"Well, speaking of it, the seafood in Sapporo is also very good. I remember traveling there once, and we ate a very good sea crab dish." Imichiko said with some nostalgia, attracted by the food, even her job I can't take care of it anymore, "The time you went this time is not very suitable. If you go in winter, it will be more beautiful there. By the way, Kanako, have you gone to Shiroi Koibito Park?"

"Well, well, a lot of chocolates." Kanako nodded again and again, "Ah, yes, I brought some back for you." Then, the little girl opened her bag, "These are bought in Shiroibitoshi Park Yes. Sister Mizuki, this is the Tsugaru koginsasi I picked, does it look good?"

"It's so beautiful." Imichiko took the backpack in admiration, "It matches the suit I ordered before. It's decided, I'm going to carry this bag to watch the firework festival this summer night festival."

"Speaking of which, Chiba will have a vocational exam next month, right?"

"Well, the preliminaries will start next month, but if I can enter the top six in a group this month, I don't need to participate in the preliminaries." Siming nodded. He was very confident about this.

"come on!"

The siblings had dinner at the clubhouse, and then returned home in Imaichi's car.There was a lot of homework today, and I didn't have time to finish it in school. Siming had to put aside the chess records and the like, and finish the school homework first.

"Huh... finally finished." After writing the last stroke, Siming couldn't help stretching. He hasn't been a student for more than ten years. Fortunately, the academic pressure in Japanese schools is not as obvious as in China.Few teachers like to assign a lot of homework to students, and most of them rely on students' self-consciousness.It's not easy for someone like the Chiba boy who comes from a poor family and puts most of his energy on Go to maintain the top ten results in this grade.

"Si Ming, your math is really good. I wasted all my time on math before." The young man from Chiba floated aside and said enviously, "President Nakajima said before that my chess calculations are not good enough. A little bit, probably because my math is too bad."

Hearing what the young man from Qianye said, Siming was a little bit dumbfounded. What does this have to do with mathematics. "It's different. China's basic education is different from Japan's. You know, in China's junior high school, we have to study much deeper courses than this. Some knowledge, we have already learned in elementary school." Siming pointed to the table Mathematics on the Internet told Chiba boy, "That's why I feel comfortable with the current mathematics."

"Ah? Do you have to learn such difficult things in elementary school? Then do you still have time to participate in club activities?" The Qianye boy widened his eyes in surprise.

"Of course not." Siming shook his head. This is the difference between domestic education and Japan, or it can be said that domestic education is different from many countries. "China pays more attention to the study of cultural subjects, and the others are slightly worse, but it is better now. A lot. Slowly began to pay attention to quality education, pay attention to students' hands-on ability. It can be regarded as returning to the old way."

"Why do you say it's a return to the ancient way?" Because Siming was familiar with Chinese chess records before, the Qianye boy also began to be interested in China.

"Because in ancient China, there was a saying of the six arts of a gentleman. That is to say, a gentleman must master at least six skills, namely, ritual, music, archery, imperial, calligraphy, and mathematics. It can be seen that quality education was attached great importance at that time. "

"Oh." Qianye boy nodded, "Isn't Go included?"

"I haven't heard of this, but ordinary scholar-bureaucrats can learn a few moves, and there are always people who are good at it and not good at it." Siming smiled and went to the chess record on the side, "Okay, let's continue to study Xiuce style today. I I feel that the Xiuce style is very consistent with the ancient Chinese concept of attacking troops, followed by fighting with others, followed by attacking soldiers, and then attacking the city. On the battlefield, the best strategy is to be able to defeat the enemy without fighting."

The young man from Qianye was confused, but it didn't affect his understanding of Siming's love for Xiu Celiu.Moreover, Siming's ability to say this opinion at least shows that he has a deeper understanding of Xiu Ce style.

One person and one ghost once again fell into the endless fun of Go.

Because the young lion competition was suspended for two weeks, the chess academy study was on track again, and the game that started again fell into a more tense atmosphere than last time.This month's ranking will determine who can directly enter the final exam.

Tsuboi Kazuya finally returned to the group after several weeks of silence.After he was re-promoted into the first group, he lost his previous impetuousness and arrogance, and looked a little calmer.However, after playing chess with him, Siming found that his biggest psychological problem was still not well resolved.

After registering his results on his game table for the day, Siming got up and found that Tsuboi Kazuya was still sitting in front of the chess game they played before.After thinking about it, Siming stepped back and walked back.

"Replay?" As Asano said before, this is a talented chess player, but he cares too much about winning or losing, so that he loses his own nature of chess.

Tsuboi looked up at Siming, then nodded after a while.Leaving the game, Tsuboi found many problems when he looked at his own chess game again with an identity above the chess players.

"Your sixth hand left too hastily. You should have thought about it at that time. I think it's better to use hang than you used to rush when you get down here."

"Then what is the meaning of your move here? Logically speaking, this move is not good?" Tsuboi discussed with Siming seriously.

"Yes, it's really not very good if you look at this step alone, but if you look at the No. 70 move later, and connect this step with the move 77, you will find the beauty of it."

According to Siming, Tsuboi picked up the chess pieces on the board and re-arranged them according to each move until they were placed in the 77 moves that Siming had just mentioned. After carefully watching for a long time, he suddenly realized. "Oh, that's right. It turns out that not every move has to be brilliant."

"When we play chess, it is inevitable that we will make bad moves, even if we think long enough, it is inevitable. Therefore, we have to think carefully about the following moves. If we reverse or deceive our opponents under what everyone thinks is a declining situation, Re-set the trap to achieve your own goals."

"Yes, what Chiba-kun said is very good. Tsuboi-kun, your recent chess has been much better than before, but you still pay too much attention to some small details. That's why your improvement is relatively slow." Teacher Shinoda heard Siming The words nodded, "Qianye-kun, have you been studying Xiuce style recently?"

"I can't say it's research. I read a game record of Jinto's seventh dan against a Korean chess player before, and I went to find out. I found that there are many things worth learning in it."

"Yes, in terms of the overall layout, it can be said that it is difficult to have a layout that surpasses that of Xiu Ce. If you have time, you can take a look."

"Okay, teacher."

Two weeks later, Siming stood in front of the ranking table again, seeing himself in the top six, heaved a sigh of relief.There are still two weeks left, as long as you maintain your current ranking, you will basically be able to qualify for the preliminaries.

"You two are really nice." Yoshida leaned over, looked at the rankings of Zhongshan and Siming, and said with a little envy.

"Then you should work harder. You were able to make it into the top [-] for the young lion competition before, so try again."

"Speak lightly." Yoshida shook his head. He usually showed an attitude that the young master was the second and no one was the first, but he still had a clear understanding of his own strength.Among the current top six, no matter which one it is, it is not so easy to be squeezed out.Moreover, looking at the current strength of Zhongshan and Chiba, they are still on the rise.It is not easy to surpass them.

"Don't be discouraged, there are still two weeks, just try hard." Siming patted Yoshida on the shoulder, "Whenever we go to those clubs to challenge other people."

"Okay. Master, I want to stand up too! Fight!" Yoshida made a gesture of cheering himself up, making Zhongshan and Siming laugh.
