Chapter 427 Nishiki Market

Other places in Ikkiji Temple are insignificant content. At first glance, it is not much different from other Japanese-style rooms. There is not even a main hall, let alone a Buddha's golden body. At first glance, it is a small temple with poor sound. There are many places where tourists stop. I don't know if there are any novel things. Liu Mei still guessed that this place was used as a training ninja. I really don't know what she thought.

Ikkiji Temple is too small, and it took only more than 50 minutes to go after a walk. There are still 30 minutes to come to see how small this place is. There is also a professor of abacus here who learns it and says that it can be started for free. Although Lydia is a little curious, it is a pity that everyone can't live for a few days, so they have to give up.

Next, Ye Ling took the manual and made a random look, and decided to go to Nijo Castle to check it out, saying that Lydia wanted to climb the Heavenly Shou Pavilion last time, but this time I saw if it was OK. Along the way, Liu Jinpeng began to show off again: "This is the Honyan Temple, the largest sect of the Pure Land Monastery. Do you know why the Honyan Temple Sect can develop so rapidly in Japan?"

There are really few people here who know, but Liu Mei sneered, obviously knowing what Liu Jinpeng wanted to say. Liu Jinpeng is not always stuck now, and said with a smile: "Because the founder of the Benyanji Sect, Saint Shinran, advocates that monks eat meat and marry, his daughter places Shinran's remains in the Dongshan Oguchi Camp, which is the origin of the Benyanji Motoyama."

It is really not a strange thing for monks to marry, but Ye Ling obviously didn't know it, so she was surprised for a while. Lydia also thought it was a bit ridiculous, but she always believed in Christianity. She had no impression of Buddhism and had no big malice, so she naturally didn't want to say anything strange. Liu Mei knew about this, and she also talked about the famous event in the history of the Warring States Period in Japan, which was a famous event in Japan's Warring States Period. She actually agreed with Oda Nobunaga's behavior, saying that none of these bald donkeys were good.

Liu Jinpeng didn't dare to let Liu Mei yell this outside. Even if you talk casually at home, the monks of the Pure Land Sect also advocated violence. For a while, they were similar to the terrorists in the Middle East, at least in Japan. His practice of calming things was criticized by Liu Mei. She said: "It is because you are too many people tolerating. Therefore, religious elements always use their beliefs as weapons to force others to accept these inexplicable values."

Lydia was surprised by her fierce reaction and asked, "Linda, don't you believe in Christ too? Do you think so about your religion?"

Liu Mei treated her equally. She said: "I have studied religious history. Christianity was bloody in the early days. It was also very ignorant. Now it is civilization and it was not so kind in the Middle Ages."

Lydia shrugged and curled her lips. She had a somewhat authentic American personality, that is, she didn't care about history. She said: "That's all in the past. The most dangerous religious believers are not Christians now." No one has any doubts about this, but those believers are too dangerous, so no one discusses them here, although Liu Mei is very unwilling to accept it.

The existing Nijo Castle is said to be built by Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was used as the venue for the Emperor's Ascension Ceremony. There was also Nijo Castle that was burned in history. It was the residence of Ashikaga, the Muromachi Shogunate, and was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga. Ninomaru Goten was once regarded as Tokugawa Ieyasu's residence. There are many places to visit here, but more places are still stopped by tourists.

Lydia is probably destined to be disappointed. Nijo Castle Tensou Pavilion is more strict than Osaka Castle Tensou Pavilion. Osaka Castle can also circle the foundation, and there is no way to enter the outside portal. However, the guard provided a message to the disappointed tourists that the Tensou Pavilion of Nagahama and Himeji will be open on specific days every year, and those who want to go there can go there with the time. Lydia is just taking a look. If she really wants to go there, she doesn't have that much motivation.

It was already 1 pm after leaving Nijo Castle. Ye Ling was looking through the guide manual again, but she was disappointed to find that many activities had expired, such as Liudima, Aoi Festival, Kaguawa Cool Bed, Mifu Festival, Kyoto Sinen, etc., and the subsequent celebrations had not expired, such as Gion Festival, Pottery Festival, May Fire Festival, etc. Liu Mei felt hungry and wanted to find a place to eat. Naturally, Lydia began to act as a food expert and guided everyone to go to Jin Market.

Kinto Market is a must-visit place for almost everyone in Kinto. You can even go to any famous places and historical sites, but if you haven’t been to Kinto Market, it means you haven’t been to Kinto. This market, which has a history of 400 years, is called Kinto Kitchen, is a large market for Kinto people to buy fresh fruit, fish and dry goods from north to south. More than 200 stores, ranging from smears, trench boils, egg rolls, Kyono vegetables, fruits to seafood, grilled food, octopus, and coffee, can be eaten all the way, and there are many famous stores that are hidden in it and you can’t miss it.

After listening to Lydia's introduction, everyone felt hungry. Ye Ling didn't read the tour guide manual and directly urged Liu Jinpeng to drive quickly. Jin Market is located near Kamidao Road, Yuyacho, Nakakyo District. A large sign with the words "Kyoto Kamida Shopping Street" was erected at the door. There is no parking lot here, so you have to park in Daiyacho in the south before walking over.

The first entrance is a grocery store. In addition to the food, there are clothes to sell. Not long after, it is a small shop selling food. There are wooden buckets at the door, with pickled food on it. This is the stain, which is Chinese pickles. Even a pickles are so popular. Liu Jinpeng was very disdainful. Ye Ling didn't care about so much. After finding that he could taste it, he tasted a little of everything. Finally, he concluded that there were only candy stains and ate it, and nothing else was as good as his own pickles.

Liu Jinpeng probably cried when he heard this, and actually said that the pickles made by the special chef were not as good as candied sugar. However, Qianmei Stains were also considered a famous product in Kyoto, so Ye Ling also paid for some money. However, Liu Mei and Lydia were not interested in this, and Lin Lin and Eva would not buy these things on their own initiative. Next, a store sold stockings, and there was a supermarket opposite. Liu Jinpeng bought a bottle of mineral water, and Liu Mei took a can of Lanshan coffee. Then she found that the coffee was very unauthentic, and Lydia was glad that she didn't buy it.

As Lydia said, there are various shops on both sides of this not-wide shed road. Ye Ling also found a shop selling Heguozi. The so-called Heguozi is Japanese dessert, which is generally sweet and has a unique shape and a good taste. However, if you eat too much glutinous food, you can't digest it, so you still bought a little for Meiling Meihua. But Liu Jinpeng estimated that Ye Ling could eliminate these desserts by himself. It was not the turn of Meiling Meihua to eat it, so he also bought a few extra boxes.

Lin Lin discovered a tea shop and asked Liu Jinpeng if he wanted it. Liu Jinpeng glanced and found that it was a Uji tea seller, so he said, "This kind of tea is pretty good, and it is also the three famous Japanese teas. It's good to buy some and give it to others." So he added two more boxes of tea in gifts. Liu Jinpeng planned to bring it to Li Jingwen and Liu Jianguo, and he could drink anything himself.

Next, Liu Mei discovered her hobbies, small shops selling sake, which are of many kinds, and some low-degree plum wines. However, how could a young lady like Liu Mei buy bargains? She started bargaining with the owner in English. The owner was probably stunned by her big money and agreed to cover the shipping fee in a daze. When Lydia saw that there was such a good thing, she quickly took a batch of goods.

When the owner woke up, he found that Liu Mei, a big drunkard, had to order ten boxes of sake, and it was a "laughter crown" produced in Kyoto. If the shipping fee was added, it would be almost impossible to make much money. The owner regretted it. Fortunately, Lydia also added five boxes, which made him feel relieved. Finally, he didn't have to be blamed by his wife.

After visiting for a long time, Liu Jinpeng bought almost nothing. Liu Mei looked at a store selling ties and dragged him in and gestured for a long time. She chose three ties of different colors. When paying the bill, the boss said that this was Xizhenjie and asked for 70,000 yen. Liu Jinpeng wanted to return the goods at that time. Liu Mei took out his own money to buy it. Ye Ling saw that Liu Mei showed her attentiveness to Liu Jinpeng, and she took a belt indignantly. This cheap price was only 6,000 yen, and she was a little proud.

On the way, I bought a few more baked rice cakes. Each of them held one and chewed it. Ye Ling made it special. She took two of them by herself, and said she would replace her sisters who had not come. But the problem was that the rice cake was not too hungry. Liu Mei felt that she was getting hungry. After eating rice cakes and octopus balls along the way, she didn't think anything was wrong. She said, "No, I have to find a serious restaurant to eat something. I'm almost hungry."

Liu Jinpeng had to read the guide's manual again. Fortunately, there were many delicious small shops near Jin Market. However, Liu Mei's personality was to eat the best foodie. But Lydia, a big foodie, also supported her opinion. Liu Jinpeng had to say: "Okay, I'll look for it. There is a Kaiseki restaurant nearby. How about it, do you eat it?"

There are many sources of kaiseki cuisine. The most widely circulated one is that monks hold it in their arms with hot stones in their arms to reduce hunger. It sounds like a tragic food. Unfortunately, Kaiseki cuisine has now become a noble-like enjoyment. This is the so-called top-grade cuisine. It is not that it tastes so good, but that its price is absolutely worthy of the word top-grade, and of course the taste will not be too bad.

Liu Mei did not object to Kaiseki cuisine, and Lydia also praised Liu Jinpeng for choosing a place, saying: "This restaurant is one of the most delicious restaurants around Jin Market. You can also enjoy the Japanese courtyard and the large pond there." However, after seeing the Japanese courtyard, Ye Ling was already very disdainful of this so-called exquisite stinginess, so naturally she would not specifically agree with Lydia's words.

The group rushed directly to the Kaiseki restaurant. There were kerosene lamps from the Meiji era and older stone lanterns on the roadside, plus bluestone paths and ancient houses on both sides, which made people feel like they were back hundreds of years ago. Liu Jinpeng scared them and said: "During the alternation of the Mumo era and the Meiji era, there was a kind of assassination called Tianzhu, who liked this kind of dark alley the most. If you kill someone, you would leave and the police would not catch them."

Ye Ling is the best at supporting roles, but she is also hungry, so she said perfunctorily: "Oh, isn't that scary? Let's go quickly."

Liu Mei disdains to play this kind of game, and of course Lydia will not be able to answer. Lin Lin and Eva are always taciturn, only Liu Jinpeng is disappointed. I am trying my best to tease you. Is it easy for me? (To be continued...)
