Unlike the Japanese who have long been used to the magical modification of "New Year's Eve".

Chinese descendants like Ning Weimin who are born in mainland China, even if they welcome the New Year in Japan, they don’t have much interest in joining in this fun except to seize the time to earn money from the Japanese.

After all, New Year's Day is the Gregorian Year, and we Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival and don't catch a cold.

Especially after Matsumoto Keiko came back, she could not be with her side, so Ning Weimin could only celebrate the New Year alone.

He was even more lazy to cater to the customs of the Japanese and was unwilling to follow the Japanese New Year tradition.

He didn't buy Tusu wine that Japanese people must drink on Dahui Day.

He didn't make it even if he had to eat New Year's Eve soba noodles that night.

He didn't even prepare rice cakes for auspiciousness.

Not to mention the Yujie cuisine.

He only felt troublesome when he made all kinds of festive dishes.

Even the rules of going to temples and shrines to pray for blessings on the first day of the New Year are all jokes of "going around to play with eggs".

For nothing else, even if he put aside materialist values ​​and simply treats gods with theology, he would not think that there is anything to admire in Japanese gods.

You should know that in Japanese legend, when Izanagi came back from the underworld, he actually washed his eyes, dug his nostrils, and rubbed big ashes to produce immortals?

The island country that was a little bit big actually created eight million gods like this?

I'll ask if you agree or not!

From a mathematical perspective, Japanese gods are simply brainless.

Think about it, how many people are in this small country of Japan in total?

It's only more than 100 million!

These gods that can be transformed into such a place have to divide up the Japanese. How many believers can be lost to one god? This is too unecocious!

It would be strange if such a meager power of faith would be effective!

Therefore, as one of the billion-dollar believers of Marshal Zhao and Mr. Guan Er, Ning Weimin naturally looked down on the old man named Ebisu in Japan.

In his heart, the old fisherman's magic power was probably not even comparable to that of Marshal Zhao's black tiger, or Zhou Cang, who carried a knife to Master Guan Er.

So he simply saved the photogenic cakes offered to the Japanese God of Wealth, because the Japanese God of Wealth is really unstable.

As a crossing dragon and a Chinese businessman, he still has such strong confidence.

Even if we don’t worship Japanese gods and don’t bring incense to these local snakes, he can still make a fortune in Japan.

But then again, he is in Japan and does not live in a vacuum after all, and he cannot be completely free from the vulgarity.

For example, he placed pine branches and pine branches like Japanese through the flower shop at the door of Ximabu's apartment and the company of the Dadao Trading Company.

This is also one of the New Year customs in Japan.

In the past, in order to welcome the arrival of the gods, every Japanese household had to pull up straw ropes on the door, insert pine branches, and insert pine pine made of pine and bamboo.

It should be counted from the first day of the New Year and be ready for seven days, that is, from January 1 to January 7.

During this special period, the Japanese had a special term called "Songinoide".

As for why Ning Weimin was willing to follow the local customs in this matter alone?

In fact, it was mainly because he was afraid of causing trouble for Matsumoto Keiko.

You should know that the door pine is placed outside the main door, not inside the house.

What's more, the Japanese's herd mentality is much heavier than that of Chinese.

If someone finds that someone at the neighbor’s house doesn’t follow the rules, he will inevitably make a fuss, become curious, and gossip behind his back.

To put it bluntly, for Ning Weimin, this is considered to be a loss of money and avoid disasters.

It's just spending a little money to avoid provoking villains and avoiding quarrels.

Similarly, there is another greater New Year's distress, which is something that Ning Weimin cannot avoid or avoid.

Even spending money is useless, but the more you spend money, the more you become, the more you suffer.

That is the indispensable New Year greeting for the Japanese during the New Year!

The so-called New Year greeting letter is what our Chinese people call New Year greeting cards.

It is very popular for Japanese people to send New Year’s greetings.

In this matter, the main reason is that the Japanese have too little interaction with each other on weekdays.

It is a lifestyle habit of "chicken and dogs who hear each other's feelings and never interact with each other since they are old and dead", which makes receiving a greeting card with the other party a thing worthy of attention.

Some Japanese people use this small greeting card to maintain several social relations that are inseparable.

It can be said that Japan's New Year's greeting cards have formed a unique culture due to the strong needs of society.

Japanese people not only have to give it to their colleagues, bosses, customers, relatives, but also to friends and classmates.

So much so that every New Year's Day in Japan, no less than 1.5 billion New Year's cards are delivered, and the Japanese post office is so busy that it is hanged at the end of the year.

The same goes for the saying, Japan has only more than 100 million people.

It is completely unimaginable how terrifying it would be to travel between more than one billion New Year’s greeting cards in such a small island country, each of which needs a postman to deliver to the recipient.

So don't underestimate this small New Year's greeting card.

Because around the New Year, almost all Japanese people will send this kind of thing, and it has become a custom that is not a custom in Japanese society.

Especially a businessman like Ning Weimin, his connections in Japan have been completely opened.

The New Year greetings he received this year were so many.

Some sent to his company and some sent to the shops of Tangong Restaurant, and some sent to Huiwentang Bookstore.

Even the newly opened parking lot management company is sent by someone.

There were even people from the art world who sent him the New Year’s card to Keiko Matsumoto’s office.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is too many to kill a person.

The key is that these New Year’s greeting cards are not just finished when sent to him.

The New Year’s greeting cards sent by the Japanese are written by themselves, and they are reasonable and they have to reply in person to be polite.

In fact, from the perspective of the post office’s work, the New Year’s card explosion did have two peak periods.

The first time is before December 28 every year.

Because the Japanese Post Office no longer guarantees that the card recipients can receive the greeting cards sent thereafter.

The second time is that after the New Year, Japanese usually send New Year’s greeting cards again.

This is because friends or people who were missed when sending greeting cards a year ago often sent greeting cards.

Then you need to send them a copy after the New Year to show that you are rude.

Although Ning Weimin did not understand the customs of Japan and did not send anyone a New Year’s card this year, after receiving more and more New Year’s card, he also understood what was going on by asking others.

So in order to make up for it, writing back the New Year’s greeting card became his New Year’s mission.

Although not all New Year’s greeting cards are necessary, important partners, friends they make in Japan and their subordinates, have to reply more than 100 times.

So, during the two days when Matsumoto Keiko went home to spend the New Year with her parents, Ning Weimin did nothing else.

For a New Year’s card worth 100 yen per card, he went to the post office to buy 200 New Year’s card for the New Year’s card, and then he dug out his thoughts in Nishimabu’s apartment and made sentences.

That really made my fingers swollen and painful.

This kind of suffering as a college entrance examination candidate has been far away from him in my memory.

Moreover, if you send New Year’s greeting cards after the New Year, the postage is higher than before the New Year, not fifty-two yen, but sixty-two yen.

Look, isn’t this a loss for money?

But then again, Japan's New Year's greeting cards can still draw, which was unexpectedly beneficial to Ning Weimin.

The official New Year greeting letter contains the words "Nian Yufu", which is translated into Chinese as "New Year's money".

There is a set of numbers at the bottom of each greeting card. Japan will conduct a unified New Year’s card lottery after the New Year. Holding the New Year’s card with the same number as the winning number can get rewards such as free travel abroad.

Although the probability of winning is relatively low, it is at least an expectation in the New Year, and it also adds a bit of entertainment.

For example, Ning Weimin received too many New Year’s greeting cards, so there were thousands of them. Some of them were people who Matsumoto Keiko met in the industry in the past and sent the New Year’s greeting cards to Nishimam Apartment.

If all of this is added together, the probability of winning will be quite large. For example, Ning Weimin is extremely lucky and won 50,000 yen.

Not to mention that the cost of buying a New Year’s card was recovered, and I also earned a meal for a trip to Hakone.

This is also a small happiness.

Speaking of which, it feels similar to the way he used to buy Douyin and gold coins in his previous life.

Although it's just a small fly meat, why don't you give it money for free?

It really has to be said that in this special era, Japan is like money everywhere. If you are not careful, you can pick up a lot of them by bent down.

Two days passed in a flash, and the trip to Hakone Hot Springs set off as scheduled.
