On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, before dawn, the girls Yuan and the others shouted that they wanted to go to the shrine. I played mahjong all night and was in a daze, muttering that I didn’t want to go. Besides, I don’t believe in this god, why do you go to worship him?

But these girls couldn't do anything and insisted on going. I could only get up, put on my clothes, and follow them early in the morning to pay homage to the gods!

Japan has always had this priority. The first visit to the New Year is called the first visit. After the bell rang on New Year's Eve, countless Japanese people rushed to the shrines and temples, burned incense and worshiped Buddha, clicked signs and told fortunes, and prayed for the happiness and safety of the whole family in the new year. This is the first visit. For this reason, the transportation departments of modern Japan will operate all night on New Year's Eve, and each shrine also opened its doors to welcome the worship.

However, in ancient times, transportation was not so convenient, and people probably didn’t have such good things, so they just got up and went to worship Buddha.

There is another priority in Japan, that is, the meals on the first, second, and third day of the Lunar New Year will be completed on the morning sun before New Year's Eve. During these three days, there will be no fireworks, and they will eat cold food.

You said that it was so uncomfortable to get cold rice when I woke up early in the morning? So after being in Japan for more than 20 years in the past life, I couldn’t find a restaurant that made hot rice in the past three days. I was always with instant noodles. Unfortunately, I can’t find a magical tool like instant noodles in this life!

Sitting at the gate of the shrine, I took the hot tea I asked for from the monks, and drank it sipped, waiting for the girls to come inside to worship. When it was dawn, these girls were still inside, and the Nine Ghosts Masako Rakshen Rodriguez and others who were rising up behind also rushed to the shrine. To put it bluntly, just want to be lively.

When they came out of the shrine, they looked mysterious and mysterious. I don’t know what all of them had heard of the fallacies and were like masters. Wu shook his head and did not comment. As a result, these girls continued to pull me forward and arrived at a stall with a sign-in wind banner. They said that they had to buy one for each person.

I thought about it for a while and wasn’t this so-called sign-up bag actually a lucky bag from later generations? After worshiping the gods, people came out to buy a lucky bag and took out a note from it, saying good luck! Eat chicken tonight! No, it’s a New Year greeting such as everything goes well, looking for a New Year’s lottery.

Just buy it, it’s just a thing anyway. So we bought one by one, but I didn’t pick it up, so I took out one casually. I looked at it carefully and found a sign bag with red bottom and gold edges. After I got it, I didn’t rush to open it, so I watched them open it first.

As a result, I don’t know what Yuan got. After seeing this, the girls screamed together, and pulled Yuan and shook him hard! Yuan’s face turned red with joy, and just glanced at me with his eyes, which made me wonder.

The other people were either lucky or lucky, but they were all good. The men laughed, but these girls looked very unhappy. I grabbed Yuan's sleeve and said: What kind of good lottery do you draw? Let me take a look!

Yuan didn't show it to me and moved the sign to the other side of my body. As a result, Mo came over and stared at me and said: Get a good marriage sign!

It's worthy of being an intelligence agent! His thought made Yuan blush! He chased Mo for a long time!

Oh, so it's no wonder that she has a weird expression. Forget it, I'd better not mention it!

This is, several girls all gathered around and pulled my sleeves and said: Sir, it’s just that your bag is not revealed! Open it and see if it’s a marriage!

As he said that, he swept around with his eyes and I.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly. These guys! I was forced to open my own bag, took out a note from it, took a casual look, and after a glance, my eyes were sucked on it, and I could no longer leave it! So I read it carefully twice, and my face became a little ugly!

When others saw that I didn't speak and my face was so bad, I probably got some bad sign. The atmosphere froze for a while, but they didn't want to ask. In the end, I asked: Qi Lan, this is just a thing, don't take it too seriously, it's over!

Yuan nodded and said: Yes, yes, this is just a joke. But then again, what exactly is it written? There has never been a bad sign in the sign bag!

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and said lightly: It's not bad, but...

After thinking about it, I handed the sign to Buhui. Buhui couldn't recognize the complete Japanese text. Lan took it curiously and approached Yuan for a look. As a result, the two of them also changed their faces! After thinking about it, they did not pass it down, but handed it back to me!

I sighed, took it, and smiled and said: It seems that this is fate!

The people next to me were extremely curious, but they felt that they could not ask. I thought about it, but there was nothing I could not say, so I said softly: It was four words! Similar to the words that Grandma Yunhu told me last time on Ji Island! After that, my hand involuntarily pressed on the red and white stone pendant on my chest.

Buhui frowned and said, "Grandma Yunhu? Then there was no more text. He knew that I valued the matter on Ji Island very much. Although he didn't know about the Red and White Stones and the mysterious gate, he always felt that this matter was unusual. But he couldn't say it, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward for a moment, I took the lead and smiled: It’s not a bad thing, it’s just a few reminders. It should...it should be considered a good thing! After all, it’s better to have someone reminder than no one!

As I said that, I glanced at the middle-aged woman selling the sign-up bags. She looked ordinary and didn't look like a hermit master. I couldn't accurately know that the sign-up bag would fall into my hands. Let's mess with this guy!

I shook my head and smiled and said: Let's go! Let's go for dinner! I was hungry after walking for a long time!

Zhang Youxi pouted and said: You know you're hungry! You'll eat the most in the morning!

I sighed: I don’t care about my fullness when I eat cold food!

Everyone laughed again and discussed what to eat. Lan suggested to eat puffer fish!

Several Japanese guys applauded, but the few people from Central Plains didn't understand.

However, Rodriguez, a half-Japanese man who had been in Japan for several years, smiled and said: In Japan, this pufferfish is a rare taste! It is usually not something you can eat!

Haleha also grew up by the sea and said in confusion: Pufferfish? Isn’t pufferfish highly poisonous? My uncle lost his poisoning after eating pufferfish. How can he eat that?

Lan said: It is popular in the coastal areas, which is a high-end product that ordinary people cannot afford! When eating puffer fish hotpot, we call it iron cannon pot, because puffer fish looks like cannon barrels! Baizi wine made of fish white tastes very good, and people call it Xishi milk. Puffer fish sashimi is the king of taste!

Haleha still frowned: But that toxin...

I added with a smile: Although I don’t like to eat fish, I know that the toxins in the body of pufferfish are said to be a thousand times more poisonous than cyanide... well, they are a thousand times more poisonous than the most poisonous things in the world! But the toxins are mainly concentrated in the ovaries, liver and gallbladders, and they need a chef with very skilled skills to deal with them! So there are also people who try to eat pufferfish to death, which shows how tempting the deliciousness of this poison is - although I don’t like it!

As he said that, I curled my lips. Lan shouted: I know a shop that specializes in puffer fish sashimi. That shop has been open for more than ten years and has never eaten anyone to death! Let's go eat it!

I tsk twice. When will it start? It will become a label for the restaurant to be unable to eat! But the greedy girls and curious young men can only go with the flow!

Through the surging crowds, we came to a residential area west of the temple. Not far away, there was indeed a two-story building with wind banners painted with puffer fish hanging! We all got in and happened to see a group of people inside, just after they finished eating, they walked out with satisfaction, and we went in and occupied the entire shop!

I have to say that this master's skills are really good. He cut the puffer fish as thin as a piece of paper with knives from this era! It spread on the plate, like a blooming flower! It made people's index fingers move. In the end, even I, who don't eat raw food, ate two slices of seasoning made of scallion, spicy radish paste and vinegar. It really melted in my mouth, but I just don't like it!

So I threw down my chopsticks and quietly drank the wine.

Rodriguez also tried it casually, looked at me and smiled, and suddenly said: Captain, looking at this pufferfish sashimi, I suddenly remembered something interesting, which is useful for sailing! But...tsk tsk!

Speaking of this, there is no following. I was curious: Don’t keep it in hiding! What are you going to say? What’s the good thing? Let’s hear what’s wrong!

Rodriguez smiled and took another sip of wine. Fang smiled and said: It is said that there is a treasure hidden in the shrine in Nagasaki, which is the statue of this pufferfish. It is not an ordinary pufferfish, but a pufferfish god!

I smiled and said: The statue of the pufferfish god? What can it be used? Can the enemy be shot to death when the shells are shot out?

The owner of the fish shop - a middle-aged man in his fifties, heard our words and laughed and said: Young man, that puffer fish statue is really a good thing!

I turned my head and smiled: Oh! Then please tell me, how is it a good way?

The boss sat down cross-legged, took a sip of dry tobacco, and said in a hoarse voice: When I was young, I also went out to sea to fish. There are few fish in the near sea, but it is safe; there are many fish in the far sea, but it is dangerous. If you encounter some strong winds and waves, you don’t know when you will float. At this time, food becomes the biggest problem.

We listened quietly to him, and no one interrupted him. The boss continued: So before we go to sea, we will worship the puffer fish statues offered to the Nagasaki Temple! It is said that after going to sea, we can save one-third of the food! No matter how we eat, we can save one-third!

Upon hearing this, I laughed. It turned out to be a legend!

The boss said unhappily: What I said is true! I once encountered great storms on the sea, and I encountered them twice a year! My boat loaded so much food every time, and there were so many people every time, but the difference is that once I went to worship the statue of the pufferfish god, but once I didn't go, guess what?

I smiled and said: What's wrong?

The boss narrowed his eyes and said: The time we worshiped, our food was enough to be back, and there was still a lot left! The time we didn’t worship, we almost starved to death! We lived through the last few days by eating raw fish! Until today, we still have the root of the disease!
