Chapter 1115 Pinocchio, a Fair Choice!

Being called a scumbag by Minako Suzuki, Li Xuehao had no words to retort, because he was indeed very carefree, and this was an unchangeable fact. If he originally had some moral self-condemnation towards Huaxin, after establishing romantic relationships with several girls at the same time, this self-condemnation has been ignored by him intentionally or unintentionally, and sometimes he even does not want to think about it at all. many.

After Suzuki Minako scolded her, she vented her anger, seemed to be in a much better mood, and walked forward without saying a word.

Li Xuehao followed step by step. Neither of them spoke anymore. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally caught up with Sayuri Chiba, Fiana Suzuki and Midori Sawai who were at the front.

The three of them were in a small store called "Pinocchio", choosing from the small puppets that filled the counter.

Puppetry is also one of Gunma Prefecture's "specialties". The "creative puppets" produced in Gunma, centered in Maebashi City, account for 70% of the country's total output. Its creators incorporate people's preferences and popularity into their works, which makes them look Especially cute.

The production of Gunma puppets is simple and complicated. First, peel off the veneer of dry logs, then grind and color them. Together with the exquisite wood grain, they look so addictive that you can't put it down.

When Li Xuehao and Suzuki Minako came in, Suzuki Fiana and the other three were watching one of the puppets in front of a counter. It was a brown round ball with a very cartoonish little monkey peach painted on it. The heart-shaped face and anthropomorphic hands are also depicted, and the image is extremely cute.

Seeing the three people's admiration for the little monkey puppet, the shop owner in his forties with a pair of shrewd eyes introduced with a smile: "This is a little monkey puppet made by Zhendong Village, Gunma Prefecture. About 20,000 are produced a year." , ranking first in domestic production.”

The store owner seems not to be afraid of over-talking about the production volume and affecting the collection value of the little monkey puppet, because this also represents its popularity.

"It's really cute, but can you tell us what kind of wood it is made of?" Fiana Suzuki grabbed one of the little monkey puppets and looked at it again, seeming to be extremely interested and said.

The shop owner introduced more vigorously, perhaps because the customers in front of him were three beauties: "Guest, this is made of dogwood wood. The method is to first cut the wood into small logs about six centimeters in diameter. Then use paint pens to draw the face and body of the monkey... Although the New Year is still far away, the little monkey puppet with a round shape and a cute expression will definitely be a very good choice to decorate the house in the coming year. "

He introduced it eloquently, making the three of Suzuki Fiana even more excited.

"Well, besides the monkey puppet, are there any other animal figures?" Fiana Suzuki asked, putting down the puppet in her hand.

"Yes, our most popular puppets here are the twelve zodiac signs. Customers can buy puppets that match their own zodiac signs in our store." The store owner said as he took out a tray from under the counter. There are various puppets with animal figures on it, such as monkeys, piglets, rabbits, calves, tigers, chickens, etc., a dazzling array of things.

Suzuki Fiana touched them one by one with her hands and seemed unable to decide which one to buy. Chiba Sayuri and Sawai Midori next to her also took a look at them. Although they were not as eager to buy as Suzuki Fiana showed, , but they are definitely moved.

"This year is the Year of the Rooster, so I will buy a puppet of a chicken." Finally, Fiana Suzuki selected a memorable puppet and said to the store owner.

"Okay, guest." The shop owner took the puppet he picked and prepared to wrap it up for him.

"Manaka, Minako, what kind of puppet do you want to buy? If you choose, I will give it to you." Fiana Suzuki looked at the two people who had just entered the store and asked with a smile.

"Sister, I can buy it myself." Minako Suzuki seemed to be a little resistant to her sister's "goodwill", and perhaps she was wary of whether there was any malicious intention behind her "goodwill".

"Really, you actually refused your sister's kindness." Suzuki Fiana said with some dissatisfaction, then looked at someone next to her, "Manaka, what about you?"

"I'll buy it myself, it doesn't seem expensive." Li Xuehao said subconsciously. In fact, it wasn't a question of whether it was expensive or not, but Minako Suzuki's resistance made him think that Miss Suzuki had some evil intentions. "Sense of crisis".

"Since it's not expensive, you can pay for the chick puppet I bought." After being rejected twice in a row, Fiana Suzuki looked a little ugly and deliberately said with a face.

"Okay, no problem." Li Xuehao naturally agreed to this small request.

He agreed so readily that it made Fiana Suzuki feel a little unhappy: "In addition to the chicken puppet, I also want a tiger puppet because I am 20 years old and I happen to be born in the year of tiger." The tone of his words was just that. It's like deliberately trying to make him spend money.

"Okay." Li Xuehao agreed readily again.

Fiana Suzuki was like punching cotton, and she was so depressed that she almost vomited blood. However, her words made Chiba Sayuri and Sawai Midori who were hesitant to finally decide which puppet they wanted to buy.

Sawai Midori said to the shop owner: "Then I also want a chicken and a tiger puppet." After saying that, she glanced at someone on the side.

Li Xuehao understood what it meant and said, "I will pay for all the things you buy today."

Sawai Midori then turned to look elsewhere, seemingly satisfied with his answer.

Chiba Sayuri didn't say anything, and directly picked a chicken and a tiger puppet with her hands. She was also 20 years old, the same age as Fiana Suzuki and Midori Sawai.

"Then, I want these two." Not to be outdone, Minako Suzuki grabbed a chicken and a small snake puppet. The chicken puppet is just standard, because this year is the Year of the Rooster, and the snake puppet Human is her zodiac sign.

Li Xuehao didn't expect that she was only 17 years old, only one year older than him.

Seeing that several people had picked puppets, he also picked a few, namely three chicken puppets, two snake puppets and a small dragon puppet.

There are two little snake puppets, one of which belongs to Kachiko Mizuhashi and the other to Yuki Majima. One is 5 years old and the other is 17 years old. They are both Snake puppets. Mai Kuanao is 18 years old and belongs to Dragon, which is Dragon-shaped puppet.

The three of them also have a standard chicken puppet plus their own zodiac puppet.

After paying the bill, Li Xuehao and his party left the small store called "Pinocchio" under the polite bow of the store owner who made his eyes narrow with laughter because he made a "big" business.
