Chapter 22 Chicken God(1/2)
Ever since Kuro followed Duo Ji's suggestion and replaced the electric lights with five-color rice glass lanterns, and had a sudden idea to use yellow luminous rice to stick to the large characters on the signboard, the business in the store has really improved.
In other words, it's not an exaggeration to say it's hot.
Of course, some girls listened to the words of the two girls next to Fallen Princess and wanted to obtain the magical power of invisibility and then escape (escape without redeeming themselves), so they kept staring at the green glowing snacks to buy, which led to this
Desserts have always been in short supply.
However, most customers came in because they saw the unique lighting effects here and were curious about it. When they saw the glowing dim sum, they were immediately amazed.
Later, these tourists heard Yoshiwara's rumors about the various effects of glowing snacks, and they became repeat customers from being new to it.
However, the confectionery shop has never publicly admitted that it has any effect, and Genichiro just allows them to spread more and more mysterious.
Some people even claimed that the orange snacks had a yang-boosting effect, so Jiulang had to let each customer purchase a limited amount.
Furthermore, Kuro's production techniques are very natural, and the taste and color of the dim sum are extremely authentic. The taste alone is enough to leave a lot of gluttons.
In just a few days, many customers who had never visited Yoshiwara came in just to see what these glowing snacks were like.
However, there are only ten tables in the store, and most people have to queue up and go back and forth. Instead, the girls around them have a group of new customers. As a result, their relationship with their neighbors has become much closer.
Jiulang has been very busy since afternoon every day.
Genichiro, on the other hand, was extremely happy. The stable reputation points he had gained in the past few days were all around 2,000.
Now, he has accumulated almost 30,000 reputation points, and with another 70,000, he can participate in advanced lottery draws.
There is only one reward for the high-level lottery - either a very important item; or an elite or above character or an important NPC.
For this lottery draw, Genichiro had already sent a letter to Murata through Wisteria House, but the latter did not reply. I wonder if there was an accident.
In case he couldn't find anyone when he had enough reputation points, Genichiro hid a shrine behind his room in Kanyue Tower and offered Murata's sword.
If the worst happens, he hopes to let this knife replace Murata's role.
What a waste.
"The last large amount of reputation value is vacant, it depends on the planning of Sase and the others!"
Genichiro, who was taking a break from his busy work, looked at the dim but bustling hall and began to dream about which elder he would resurrect.
At this time, Kuro's voice came from behind the counter: "Brother Genichiro, please send 100 glowing snacks to Kyogoku House!"
"Okay! Right now!"
…
On the other side, Anayama took several reporters into Ueno Zoo.
"Everyone, this is a unique species in my hometown. In order to let the world know about them, I want to ask you to help promote it."
Aeshan was dressed gorgeously and fashionably. He walked with the same steps as when he was a bandit and led a large group of people, making him very conspicuous among the bustling tourists.
"An outsider once wandered into our place in Weiming by mistake and encountered a black chicken. He only took one look at it and was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, calling the Chicken God for mercy."
According to Shinichi Sause, the hawk-sendner, this is a real allusion, and Aneshan naturally used it for his own use.
"If that chicken is really as magical as Mr. Anesama says, we at the Asahi Shimbun will not be stingy with our pen."
Among the five reporters, the reporter from "Asahi Shimbun" was the most supportive.
Although he was somewhat doubtful about the so-called "chicken taller than a man", he was just a reporter for a small foreign newspaper, but in the past few days, the rich man Aneshan treated him very politely, and it was right for him to support him in a sensible and reasonable manner.
As for reporters from several other local Tokyo newspapers, they looked at Anayama from behind with a bit of contempt deep in their eyes.
This guy is a rich man who suddenly appeared in Tokyo, but he is not an entrepreneur, and he is not Chinese. Instead, he looks like a country bumpkin who knows nothing. He just seems to have endless money, which makes them have to care.
However, although Aneshan is rich, he also likes to talk big words.
For example, the white snake in their hometown is as big as a mountain, and it sleeps on the mountainside when resting. He also said that the soldiers there could use weapons with a range of up to 100 meters hundreds of years ago; and that the fish there can live forever.
It also has two rows of human teeth...
This is already the 40th year of the Meiji era, and no one has believed these nonsense long ago, okay? They are just like the weird stories written by those folklore writers, just to make others laugh.
No, this guy had just been quiet for a few days a few days ago, and suddenly appeared again, saying that he had donated some chickens from his hometown to the Ueno Zoo, and hoped that they would report it.
Ask him what is so special about that chicken and why it can be admitted to the zoo.
As a result, Xueshan insisted that the chicken was taller than them.
I bother.
The reporters didn't believe a word of it and just thought Aneshan was bragging again.
Three of these reporters have studied abroad. Is the one taller than a human a chicken?
That's called an ostrich.
It is estimated that this guy donated a large amount of money to the zoo in order to maintain his appearance and forcefully asked for the right to display a piece of ground for a few days.
Regionalists have done this before, but they never caused any splash.
Since this matter was expected to have no reporting value, these reporters did not want to come.
But the treatment given by Aneshan was so good. Not only did he treat them to western food and soak in hot springs every day, he also brought everyone a big box of "luminous snacks" that were hard to find recently.
You know, it is said that the snack was consecrated by the god of Ise Jingu Shrine, and it can ward off disasters and cure diseases, and it is hard to get a lot of money (Genichiro doesn't know who passed it on, and he didn't refute it anyway).
So they came anyway, planning to use a small section to show off to Aneshan. Anyway, it was better not to offend such a wealthy person.
In this way, several reporters followed Caoshan to the zoo with their own thoughts, but as they walked they realized something was not right.
This is the direction to the most central area of the zoo!
In a zoo, only animals used to support the zoo can be exhibited in that area.
The central area of Ueno Zoo is full of rare animals brought from German zoos, such as lions, ostriches from Africa and polar bears near the Arctic Ocean.
This big talker couldn't be hemorrhaging money, so he donated a venue in this area!
"Mr. Aneshan, are you sure your hometown is Wei...wei..."
A reporter from the "Tokyo Nichichino Shimbun" wanted to be sure, but found that he could not remember the name Anayama was talking about.
"It's Ashina Black Chicken!"
Aneshan was not angry. Instead, he pointed to the exhibition area in the central area with the most tourists and said, "Look, it's right there!"
"!"
“Isn’t that where the Japanese black bears were exhibited before?”
As one of the few black bears in Japan that can be considered a "beast", it has been placed here to compete with the "polar bears", but the situation is not very good. It is only due to the xenophobic spirit of the Chinese people that it has gained some popularity.
Unexpectedly, that important position was actually given to a kind of chicken?!
"After meeting Ashina's chicken, what does the bear mean? Of course he has to give up his position!"
"Come on, come on, everyone, get out of the way!"
With that said, several people had already reached the vicinity of Yuanxiong Mountain. The tourists around him saw that Caoshan looked like he could not be offended by the nouveau riche, so they subconsciously made way for him.
In this way, Aneshan led the reporters to the two-meter-five-meter-high fence smoothly, and then several people immediately fell into a state of jaw-dropping.
"hiss--"
Several gasping sounds sounded at the same time.
Inside the fence, three black roosters, at least 1.4 meters tall, are occupying the "highlands" of Xiong Mountain arrogantly. Their black and red eyes flash in the sun, warily eyeing the surrounding tourists, just like in the Warring States Period.
The general looks at the enemy like a general, which makes people feel chilly in their hearts.
Just looking at the bright red comb and familiar shape, you know it is definitely a chicken, not an ostrich.
"Is there really such a big chicken?"
The reporter from the "Asahi Shimbun" was overjoyed. He originally wanted to show his support, but he didn't expect that this time the rich man Yasuyama didn't lie to anyone?
The chicken, which is about 1.4 meters tall, is indeed taller than the shortest guy among the reporters.
The Japanese have only started to eat meat in recent decades, and many poor people in the countryside are only this tall.
But as knowledgeable reporters, they had never heard of such a big chicken before! Not to mention that they had never heard of such a chicken in Japan, there was no such chicken in the world.
Some of them couldn't help but wonder, where exactly is Ashina?
"Mr. Anayama, what did you use to feed Ashina's chickens to grow to such a big size?"
The reporter from "Asahi" asked while sketching the black chicken in the notebook in his hand. Since he has decided to write a report, of course he needs to know some background knowledge.
The tourists who heard it nearby were also interested. The introduction on the sign said that Ashina Chicken comes from Ashina and is a rare and extremely fierce animal. But they had never heard of this place, and it turned out that there happened to be a local there.
I also want to hear what he has to say.
"Ahem!"
Anesama cleared his throat and introduced loudly and proudly, as if Ashina really was his hometown, "Although Ashina black chickens can look after homes and homes, they are raised by nature and do not need to be fed. They will clean the water by themselves."
Insects around us, such as centipedes and grasshoppers, can naturally grow to such a large size."
"you're lying!"
A child's voice came from the crowd, "My chickens are only fed worms and not chaff. Why can't they grow so big?"
To be continued...
