Chapter 8 Do Your Dreams!
The streets in Tokyo are brightly lit at night, and the record shop on the roadside is playing the most famous "First Love", the master of love songs, Takazo Murakami.
The cool wind blew across Gaoqiao's cheeks, and he walked swaying on the road.
There was once a saying called "The poor are suddenly rich and raise their legs high", which means that the poor suddenly become rich, so in order to make people know that they are rich, they will lift their legs high and walk away.
Takahashi's condition is a bit like this at the moment. However, it is a little different, probably because although he is proud, he is not taken away from his body.
Twenty thousand yen was a huge sum of money for him, but what was it for those who passed him on the street?
In the 1980s, Japan's economy experienced a long and rapid development and entered its most prosperous stage. In addition to Takahashi and his uncle, as well as those illegal immigrants who deliberately or unintentionally put them in to work at the bottom, people who stepped on the land of Japan should not be too rich.
While Takahashi was still having fun in his arms for 20,000 yen, there was a row of people on the side of the road, waving the money in their hands and stopping a taxi.
In the end, the taxi favored was a young lady with a short skirt. She and the 20,000 yen in her hand disappeared at the end of the neon light in a car.
Seeing this scene, Takahashi walked normally. He instantly realized that he had almost bet on all the hard work, and it turned out that it was only equivalent to someone taking a taxi once.
But, so what! I, Takahashi, will definitely conquer Tokyo and succeed in Japan!
After expressing the pride and ambition in my heart, I am now at the door of the convenience supermarket.
Because the economy is so good, most convenience stores in Tokyo have been replaced with very tall automatic doors compared to this era.
Takahashi thinks automatic doors are not suitable for places with high traffic in convenience stores.
When people come in and out, the door opens and switches. The automatic door always seems dull and fast. The previous person just walked in, and the latter person also wanted to go in, but the slow-responsive sensors must be clamped to the person behind before they can be opened again.
Over time, there are more hand-pushing doors next to the automatic door of the convenience store.
Perhaps, the symbolic significance of the automatic door is far greater than the actual significance.
Perhaps, convenience stores with automatic doors represent high-end ones.
Takahashi opened the hand-pushing door and walked into the convenience store. Compared with Tokyo's housing prices that cost almost one per day, Tokyo's daily necessities prices are very stable and low.
However, because Japan is an island country, there is little farming land, preventing low-price dumping from abroad, protecting its own food security and raising trade barriers, the price is not low.
Therefore, most of the food packaging in Japan is exquisite small packaging, and many vegetables are sold on roots and pellets. This objectively avoids food waste and plays a positive role in saving.
This is true for normal dishes. Those dishes that are about to expire and deteriorate will naturally not be thrown away, but will be sold at a lower price.
Takahashi stared at the normal area for a while, but resolutely walked towards the special offer area, and silently recited in his heart, "You have to eat enough first and then talk about eating well, you have to eat enough first and then talk about eating well."
The specialty food area seems to always float with a faint brewing fragrance. However, although it has a little rotten smell, there is no real rotten food.
After all, this is a special offer area, not a garbage area.
As Japan actively promotes garbage classification policies, it is more difficult to pick up food in the garbage dump.
Takahashi walked around and saw boxes of special offer, lying in the box. He didn't find the dishes he wanted to eat too much. Instead, he saw the fruit that his uncle always muttered - watermelon.
When I ended my hard work in the bed, my uncle often talked about the watermelons in my hometown in nostalgia, saying how sweet and juicy the watermelons are, that they can eat a large one by themselves. Sometimes they are also interspersed with interesting stories of being caught by the production team and being beaten on their butts.
Takahashi said more than once that if you want to eat watermelon, let’s buy some to eat.
The uncle said no, he said he couldn't bear to bear it.
How expensive is watermelon in Japan? It’s so small, so it’s not like eating watermelon. It’s obviously just eating money.
Takahashi picked up the box and looked at the four or five pieces inside that changed slightly, but still acceptable, and went to check out the melon slices.
The cashier was as tall as the automatic door. The clerk scanned the barcode on the watermelon and said, "Five hundred yuan."
The coins in Takahashi's pocket were not enough, so he gave the thousand-yuan banknotes he had stuffed to him to the clerk and retrieved a five-hundred-yuan coin.
Three street lights from different distances and distances have brought three shadows from different distances and distances to Takahashi who left the convenience store.
In the end, he was not willing to spend the two large tickets in his pocket.
The money should be used on the blade. If you and your uncle get sick, you should save more, and you can go to see a doctor.
Takahashi, who was holding the box, became happy again. He thought that his uncle would be happy to see the watermelon he was thinking about day and night.
Of course, I may also be scolded for it, and I will be scolded for spending money indiscriminately. But compared to making my uncle happy, what is it that I am scolded?
Besides, I got back 20,000 yuan in cash, and I and him both found a job, so it would be worth it even if I was scolded.
Takahashi walked in front with a relaxed spirit, and he didn't even notice that there was a ghostly figure following him behind him.
Shimada, who was following him, saw Takahashi going upstairs with Kudo, feeling less and less uncomfortable. After trying nearly twenty times, he still couldn't beat the head of Cleopatra and broke the record left by Takahashi. He thought of another way to defeat Takahashi.
It is impossible for a gangster to have never fought. At the beginning, it may have been simply beaten, but after eating and seeing them, they will fight back if they are beaten too much. Some people with talent for fighting can even be beaten unilaterally without long.
Shimada thought for a while, although Takahashi was "slightly" taller and stronger than him, he believed that he would be able to beat Takahashi with his rich experience in street fighting.
The reason why he doesn't do anything now is that the street lights are too bright here are too many pedestrians. After a while, he can do something by himself when he reaches the dim alley.
His left hand touched the fist of his right hand, and a cruel and distorted smile appeared on his face. He seemed to have heard Takahashi's wailing and begging for mercy.
As if he was talking about the truth, he had just finished playing the film about Takahashi kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Takahashi really walked into a narrow and dim alley.
It was dark and the wind was high, and the sound of wild cats echoed in the alleys.
That's now!
Shimada, who was hidden in the dark like a ninja, launched a fast and dense pace and quickly approached Takahashi.
Shimada, who firmly believes that he can defeat the enemy with one blow, took action!
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, a moaning sound came from the ground.
With the help of the dim moonlight, Takahashi picked up the watermelon box that fell on the ground and checked with pain if it had broken.
Found that the watermelon slices were not polluted, he walked to the person who was lying on the ground, squatted down and turned his face to see his face clearly, "It's you, are you trying to cause trouble for me?"
