v2 Chapter 2: Umegakiya

The weather in the mountains can really change. It was a clear sky just now. Unexpectedly, it only took a few minutes when it suddenly started pouring rain.

Lin Xiuyi took over the task of driving after lunch, but because of the increasing rain and the unfamiliar roads, he did not arrive at the reserved hot spring hotel, Umegakiya, until two hours later.

Mariko Umegaki, the female general of the hotel, stood outside the gate to welcome Lin Shuichi. The waitresses in the hotel also came to greet everyone.

"The guests have worked hard all the way," the female general Umegaki greeted warmly.

"Ah, Madam Boss, do you have any fresh Koshu beef here? We want to try the famous Koshu beef pot for dinner!" Lin Xiu was afraid that Mei Heng would prepare the guests' dishes in advance, so he took the initiative to ask when he entered the door.

"Of course there is. I'll prepare now! But it's raining heavily outside, and the roads in the mountains are slippery. If guests want to go out, please be careful!" The female general Umegaki reminded kindly.

"Thank you for your reminder!" After Lin Xiuyi and the others said goodbye to the proprietress Mei Yuan, they were led by the waiter to the room. The rooms of Lin Xiuyi and others are all connected together, and several rooms can be connected to each other. Open the screen during the day so that everyone can move together, and when sleeping at night, they can be separated by a screen, which is very convenient. Umegakiya is located halfway up the mountain, from which you can see the beauty of the mountains. It was the first time that Lin Xiuyi had experienced the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city in the silent valley.

Lin Xiu pulled up the screen, took off his suit and put on the bathrobe provided in the hotel. After everyone changed into their yukatas, the rain outside just stopped. Lin Xiuyi, Aizawa and other men came to the soup pool downstairs together.

"Oh! It's so comfortable!" Lin Xiuyi slowly sat in the soup pool wrapped around the bath towel, soaked the towel in the water, then wrung it dry and put it on his face, heaving a long sigh of relief.

Although it was an open-air soup pool, the temperature was a little cold after the rain, but Lin Xiuyi, who was immersed in the hot water, felt warm all over. The body becomes light under the action of buoyancy, this is the charm of hot springs!

"Ah! I really want to drink a cold beer!" Aizawa sighed while leaning against the pool.

"If possible, I really don't want to go back to Tokyo, I really want to retire early!" Hanagata said with the same emotion.

An hour later, the people who returned to the room from the soup pool were sitting around the dining table, ready to enjoy the famous Koshu beef pot in Yamanashi Prefecture. Although the hot spring is very comfortable, if the soaking time is too long, it will be harmful to the body. After enjoying the hot spring, everyone was a little hungry. The temperature in the mountains after the rain is very low. In this weather, enjoying a hot hot pot is the best choice.

Yamanashi Prefecture was called Jiafei in the Warring States Period, and this is where Takeda Shingen started his career. Although Koshu beef is not as famous as Kobe beef, it is still the best among Wagyu beef. Looking at the slices of snowflake beef with the same size and bright color on the plate, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help swallowing.

The waitress of Umegakiya first served everyone a bowl of clear soup, and then put the beef slices on the plate one by one. Lin Xiuyi raised the soup bowl, put it to his mouth and blew it, then took a sip. The soup is full of ingredients and has a delicious mushroom flavor. After a sip of hot soup, the stomach is warm.

"Oh, it's delicious!" Miki said involuntarily as she picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.

"It's really delicious, I feel like the beef I eat on a daily basis is different!" Hanagata agreed.

"That's natural! Koshu beef is not as famous as Kobe beef, but it is also carefully cultivated. Yamanashi Prefecture's wine is very famous, and Koshu beef is raised entirely from wine lees." Umegakiya's daughter The waiter explained to everyone.

This beef pot, everyone is naturally addicted to eating. Compared with the high Kobe beef, the price of Koshu beef is still affordable to Lin Xiuyi, but if compared with ordinary beef, the price of Koshu beef is also enough. Stunned explained that even in Yamanashi Prefecture, where this beef is produced, the price is 20,000 dan (1,000 RMB) per pound.

After dinner, Miki proposed to play cards together. Lin Xiuyi wanted to go out for a walk instead. So after saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Xiuyi left Umegakiya alone.

I have to say that the Buddha Village is really beautiful. Walking on the stone road after the rain, there are wooden and lively shops on both sides of the street. At this moment, most of the people walking on the street are tourists in bathrobes. Tourists sell some of Yamanashi's specialty products and handmade souvenirs. This scene gave Lin Xiuyi a feeling of traveling through time and space.

After walking for a while, Lin Xiu felt a little tired, so he sat down on a chair by the road to rest. Before long, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Excuse me sir, do you know how to get to Umegakiya?"

Lin Xiu turned his head and saw a woman with glasses standing behind him and asked.

"Ah! Of course, you can walk along this street, and then you will see a small river. After crossing the river, then... Forget it, I'll take you there!" Lin Xiuyi wanted to tell the other party, UU He read www.uukanshu.com but he didn't know the way back, but Lin Xiuyi still had the confidence to walk back.

"Is this convenient? Will it not delay your business?" The other party asked gratefully.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here to travel anyway!" Lin Xiu replied together.

The other party hesitated for a while, and suddenly noticed the three Chinese characters for Umegakiya on Lin Xiuyi's yukata, so he agreed to Lin Xiuyi's suggestion with confidence.

The two then walked together and started heading towards Umegakiya. Along the way, the two chatted and gradually became familiar with each other. Lin Xiuyi quickly learned that the other party's name is Kimura Kanako, who is also from Tokyo. This time the two have more common topics.

"I work at Asahi TV. This time I went to Buddha Village to explore the legends about the treasures here! How about you, did you come here to travel?" Kimura Kanako took the initiative to introduce.

"Yes, I came here to play with my colleagues! I plan to rest here for a few days before going back to Tokyo!" Lin Xiu didn't mention his work for a moment.

After chatting all the time, the two returned to Umegakiya, just as soon as they entered. As soon as Lin Xiuyi saw the female general of Umegakiya was talking to a woman in her forties, the woman seemed to be in a hurry.

"Kanako, why are you only here now!" When a middle-aged woman in her forties saw Kimura Kanako, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked slightly.

"I'm sorry, Director Mizukawa! The car I was in broke down halfway, and the phone was out of power, so..." Kanako hurriedly explained.

"Oh! It's fine if everyone is fine, who is this?" Director Shui Chuan looked at Lin Xiuyi, looked up and down, and then asked.

"Hello, I'm Lin Xiuyi, I'm here on vacation!"
