Chapter 859: Mermaid Festival

Saturday, January 6, morning, Ogasawara Islands, Tomoshima Islands, Tomoshima Pier.

Maori and his party of eight got off the plane with their luggage, and found that there were many people on the island, which seemed very lively. Yuanzi said, "It seems that the festival has already begun, let's go."

The festival describes the mermaid legend, a group of people pushing the parade of floats carrying mermaids singing beautiful tunes, of course, these mermaids are all dressed up as women. However, there is a real mermaid-dugong on the shrine in front, which is an offering for this festival. The legend of the eight hundred bhikkhunis is staged on the largest mountain car. Eating mermaid meat will lead to a long life.

After the shrine returned to the mermaid shrine on the island, the ceremony entered the final stage. A short priestess who was so old that he could not tell his age read a prayer before the god and killed the dugong. The person next to me said that it was the priest Mikoto Shimabukuro, who is 130 years old this year, and she ate mermaid meat when she was young.

The assistant took away the dugong blessed by God and prepared for the mermaid meat auction. Then everyone can enter the shrine to pay homage. If you want, you can buy a lucky charm with a number for 10,000 yen. There will be a lottery in the evening, and those who win the draw will get the arrow of the dugong.

After the eight Maori visited the shrine, Lan, Yuanzi, and Ye bought a lucky charm. Maori complained with jealousy: "My God, one person is 10,000 yen, and this day still earns hundreds of millions of yen."

"Indeed, this business is really good." Hattori said.

Yuanzi said, "Please, I only do this once a year."

Yamazaki said: "At the beginning of this century, there were only 25 people in Tomoshima, and they made a living from sugar production. Later, the price of sugar plummeted, and the people on the island made a living by herding goats. Later, if the priest Mikoto Shimabukuro hadn't thought of it This way, making a lot of money every year, Zhidao has long since become an uninhabited island, and it will not be as lively as it is now, with 800 families living in it."

"That's right," Lan said.

He Ye asked, "Then has she ever eaten mermaid meat?"

"I'm afraid only she knows." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Hattori said: "You idiot, Kazuha, how can there be fish in this world."

He Ye said: "You are the idiot, let's talk about it when you live a hundred and thirty years old."

"Then you just wait and see." Hattori said.

"I will definitely wait to see if you can't walk." He Ye said.

"Hey, are you guys arguing?" Yuanzi asked with a smile.

Hattori and Kazuha shouted together: "Of course we are arguing, can't you see it?"

"I think you are sending blessings to each other." Lan said with a smile, "Living to one hundred and thirty years old together, isn't this the real way to grow old together? It's so romantic."

Yuanzi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it will be very interesting to see you old man and old lady arguing."

Conan smiled and said, "We'll watch it together then."

Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Okay, stop talking, let's go to the auction, I invite you to eat mermaid meat, you can live to be one hundred and thirty years old."

Afterwards, eight Maori people went to the auction. The three-meter-long, over 400-kilogram dugong was dismembered into twelve parts, three parts for the head, tail, and double fins, and nine parts for the internal organs. Mei Daizi spent five thousand and one One million yen took the head, one part of the internal organs, one part of the fin, and one part of the body.

"This is really stealing money." Maori said with emotion.

Hattori said: "Those guys are crazy, it doesn't cost so much to buy a dugong."

He Ye said: "Idiot, this is blessed by God, it is different."

Conan said: "This is for longevity."

Sonoko said, "Fortunately, five hundred thousand yen per kilogram is not too expensive."

Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, how do you think this food is good to eat?"

Yamazaki said: "Let them do it,

With some specialty seafood and so on, our food for these two days is enough. "

"That's fine." Mei Daizi said. ...

After the auction was over, the staff took the eight Maori people to an office to transfer money. Mayor Kobayashi received them personally. After receiving the money, he took out this roster and said that Mei Daizi's contribution to the Mermaid Shrine could be ranked high. Please leave your name, and they will put up a sign at the shrine to bless her.

Mei Daizi said: "Yuanzi, don't you want to be lucky? This is for you."

"Alright, thank you then." Sonoko smiled.

Sonoko opened the roster, and Conan saw a name, Miyano Shiho, and saw that it said 20 million yen underneath, and immediately raised his triangular eyes. Really, is that guy so rich? By the way, it must be the same name.

Mayor Kobayashi asked, "By the way, may I ask where the mermaid meat is delivered for you?"

"We plan to eat on the island, and we have to read the menu for details." Yamazaki said.

"That's no problem." Mayor Kobayashi smiled.

Yamazaki said: "Also, we want to find a place to live."

"Live here," Mayor Kobayashi thought for a while and said, "Please wait a moment." Then he asked someone to find a young woman dressed as a priestess, "This is Shimabukuro-kun, the great-great-granddaughter of Priest Shimabukuro Mikoto." Megumi, the eight of you should go to Shimabukuro's house."

"Great-great-granddaughter?" Hattori did some calculations, "The five generations live under the same roof."

Lan asked: "Well, Miss Junhui, there must be a lot of people in your family? Did we bother you too much in the past?"

"No," Shimabukuro Junhui said sadly, "Our family is now me and Grandma Miqin."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, Miss Jun Hui." Lan said quickly.

"It's nothing." Junhui Shimabukuro said, "Just please stop mentioning it, so as not to make the old man feel sad."

"We understand, please rest assured." Maori said.

"Okay, let's go eat first." Yamazaki asked, "Miss Junhui, how about you come too?"

"No, I still have to take care of Grandmother Miqin." Shimabukuro Junhui said with a smile, "When you want to come over at night, just ask anyone on the island to know where my family lives, and I will help Get your bedding ready."

"Thank you so much," Molly said. ...

Afterwards, the mayor arranged a dining room for the eight Maori. The eight Maori looked at the menu and ordered lunch, and made a reservation for today's dinner and supper, as well as tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.

After the meal, the eight Maori went to the Mermaid Shopping Center first, and saw a wide range of mermaid peripheral products, rings, pendants and other accessories, biscuits, candy and other snacks, hats, swimsuits and other clothing, puzzles, dolls and other toys, etc. . At 2:30 in the afternoon, the eight Maori went to the theater to watch the legend of the mermaid performed by Kabuki.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, the theater ended, and the eight Maori returned to the dining room for dinner. After agreeing to go to the shrine to see the results of the lottery at 8 o'clock in the evening, those who finished eating first left first. The group of Hattori and Conan, and Ye and Lan , A group of gardens.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Yamazaki asked the staff to take care of Maoli, who was drinking a little, and left with Meidai after dinner.

The Mermaid Shrine is on the small Fuji Mountain of Chishima Island in the west, and the auction venue is next to the road near the shrine.

After Yamazaki and Mei Daizi went out, they found that there were many people wandering on the road, so they went to Tomoshima Dashan. They found a person standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the lights on the island.

"Cough!" Yamazaki reminded, "Good evening, Miss Junhui."

"Ah?" Shimabukuro Junhui came back to his senses, "Hello."

Mei Daizi asked: "Miss Jun Hui, why are you here? Don't you need to help the old lady prepare for the lottery draw?"

"Of course someone will help." Shimabukuro Junhui said, "I just came out to look at the stars in the sky, and just walked around."...
