Chapter 141: Osaka Rises
Takeo Moribe walked briskly down the streets, and his destination was Nishinari Ward, an urban area where "tourism" thrives, but for the people of Osaka, Nishinari Ward was a dirty and messy Shitamachi town, and all the people who lived in Nishinari Ward were poor.
Speaking of Nishinari Ward, it will be a little unfamiliar, but if you mention the Tokita Shinchi under the jurisdiction of Nishinari Ward, the search volume of any search engine in the world far exceeds that of Nishinari Ward, and even higher than the search volume of the whole of Osaka, Tokita Shinchi is not a street, but the name of a block, which is the most "ancient and ancient" block in Osaka, and there used to be several streets and blocks with similar styles in Osaka, but they were all demolished after the war, and now only Tokita Shinchi is left.
"Legal Flower Zone", "Civilian Flower Zone", "Men's Paradise" and so on are the names of Tokita Shinchi, although it makes Osaka people feel unspeakable, but Tobita Shinchi has become a business card of Osaka, and there are hundreds of custom shops in Tokita Shinchi, so think about the female personnel who are engaged in the relevant industry are as many as 1,000 people every night, and to be able to feed so many shops, not to mention how many customers there are, it is absolutely impossible to count on the local people of Osaka to buckle the cords. In fact, the largest number of foreign tourists in Tokita Shinchi are still the people.
Before he could enter the Tokita Shinchi, Takeo Moribe's footsteps hesitated, and he felt that he could not take a step forward while standing outside the street where the inside and outside were clearly separated.
He was born and raised in Osaka, but he had never been to this Osaka-like place, let alone experienced Tobita Shinchi's unique "cuisine" service.
Looking from the outside in, the Tokita Shinchi at night is "showing", and in order to create a sense of heaviness for foreign tourists, the shops in Tokita Shinchi have deliberately used antique and nondescript decorations in their decorations, but in fact, in the early Showa Meiji period, the photos of Tokita Shinchi are far more modern than they look now.
The red lantern shows the strange atmosphere, standing outside the Tobita Shinchi and looking inside, in addition to seeing the people rubbing shoulders and the girls sitting upright in the house, it will also give people a sense of difference, like a place that only appears in anime and film and television dramas, beautiful and bright, but it makes Takeo Shoube feel sick to his stomach from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey, go tonight...... How about the three sunflower houses. ”
"Oh, oh!"
Two drunk drunks brushed the shoulders of Takeo Shoube, and after getting drunk, he didn't apologize when he bumped into someone, and after stumbling a few steps, he continued to hook his shoulders and walk inside, and the drunken man in the middle of the night in Nishinari District is a normal background board.
Takeo Moribe gritted his teeth, took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and walked in with a serious face on his mouth.
Walking in the middle of the Tokita Shinchi with a lollipop in his mouth or a snack in his hand, there will be no Mama-sang from a custom shop to solicit customers, which is the unspoken rule of Tokita Shinchi.
Contrary to what many people think, even in the island country, the so-called trade was illegal after the arrival of Lord Uekoku, and after the promulgation of the Prevention Act in the 50s, such as Yoshiwara Street in Tokyo, became a thing of the past, and the caged birds in the streets were freed.
However, the people of the island country always like to play side ball, not to mention the bubble baths and love hotels all over Tokyo, in the case of this Hida Shinchi, after the war, the Tokita Shinchi naturally could no longer survive and operate under the original door, so the Tokita Shinchi simply changed its name to "Tokita Shinchi Cuisine Association", and all the shops run by Mama-san on this street took out the business license documents and looked at them, all of them were written as practitioners in the catering industry......
The guest came to our restaurant to eat, and our restaurant has a very beautiful waiter, the guest spent money to eat at my place, and our waiter met in the process of eating, the two fell in love in an instant, and then something happened in love, but afterwards the two found that they were not in harmony, so the love relationship was dissolved, but the guest still paid for the meal in our restaurant, isn't this a very normal meal? What, don't you believe it, you look at the lollipop snack in the mouth of the guest, isn't this a proof of eating with us?
So after the war, when I started holding a lollipop in my mouth in Tokita Shinchi, it meant that this person had already eaten and didn't need to waste any more energy to solicit them, and then some people who just wanted to come to Tobita Shinchi to have a walk and open their eyes and didn't want to eat also knew that they were holding a lollipop and conveyed a signal that I didn't need to trade.
This is equivalent to covering the ears and stealing the bell in modern society, and the government of the island country also turns a blind eye to this - people just eat normally, and they only pay ordinary food money, no problem, no problem.
"Little brother, we have a beautiful sister here."
"Oh, come in and sit, come in and sit."
"Little brother, look at this ......"
Tokita Shinchi's mother Mulberry fully shows a different enthusiasm from the indifferent island people, and her smiling face is full of human warmth, and she opens her mouth to be a little brother, brother, and she is here to eat when she closes her mouth, and she doesn't know that she thinks this is an old neighbor who has been getting along for many years.
However, after seeing Takeo Shoubu holding a lollipop in his mouth, his mother Sangs did not come up to harass him, whether it was real consumption or fake consumption, it proved that the other party had no intention of eating, and it would be boring to continue to harass him.
In this bizarre world, Takeo Shoubu, who has lived for decades, finds that he seems to have become a child again, walking with his head bowed at a loss.
"No, you can't look down, I'm here to look for something, you have to look up."
Takeo Moribe raised his head and opened his eyes to sweep the cooking houses on either side.
Mama San's fake smiling face, gorgeously dressed girls talk about their posture, some are not inferior to the idol groups on TV, they also have smiles on their faces, but they look more fake than Mama San, Shoubu feels depressed when he looks at it, he can't imagine that in the past few decades of life, there is such a scene in a place dozens of miles away, it is simply not like living under the same sky.
Wandering in front of hundreds of custom shops, Takeo Moribe finally found his goal.
"Faith." The sign of this custom shop has a single name and a letter.
In the open first floor, a girl who has become a hot anime character is sitting in the center, and the cramped space is full of pink atmosphere, and next to this young girl, in addition to a plate of snacks, there is also an enthusiastic mother Sang is enthusiastically soliciting customers to promote her products.
"Come on, come in and sit down."
Compared to the surrounding shops, this Nobuya store is larger and more ornately decorated.
After noting the location of the shop, Takeo Shoube bowed his head and left quickly.
The letter house should be the one mentioned in the news, and it can't be wrong.
