Chapter 312 Guitar Holy Land

Just like the two pieces of "Sword Roaring Jianghu", when Yan Kai's mind came up with the story of "The History of the Martial Arts", it was also accompanied by several pieces of music. Of course, he had to restore these pieces, and among them

Yan Kai felt that the melody of the song was more suitable to be played on a guitar, so he went out today specifically to buy a guitar and take a look at where he could learn guitar.

Xue Wenrong is proficient in the classical instruments of the Central Plains. She is proficient in the harp, harp, and pipa. She knows everything about the flute, flute, and flute. Even if she finds a chime, she can still play the song "Guan Ju."

Yan Kai learned his temperament from Xue Wenrong, and he knew everything Xue Wenrong knew, but he also didn't know the Western instruments that Xue Wenrong didn't know, so he needed to learn it again.

It's a pity that Xue Wenhai has already gone to the nook and cranny at this time. He can't even get through on his mobile phone and can't be contacted at all. Otherwise, Yan Kai wouldn't need to find anyone else to learn from. Xue Wenhai can play the guitar, and he can play it very well.

good.

There is no need for Xue Wenhai to come over and teach him personally. He only needs video tutorials and can learn it in one or two hours at most. Yan Kaixue's other instruments are like this, so he doesn't think learning guitar will make any difference.

He has been in Tokyo for several months, but Yan Kai is still not very familiar with Tokyo. Mainly because he is too lazy to get familiar with it. He usually only moves between the private Kamijian School and Mingshan Apartment. The place where he works is whether it is Xinchuan Building or a teahouse.

They are all on this line. The other most frequented place is the Kampo Pharmacy in Bunkyo District. Some time ago, I bought medicinal materials for Eve’s medicine there because I went there.

There were so many times that the boss wanted to make Yan Kai a member. When he was buying medicine, he also took the opportunity to tell Yan Kai about other pharmacies in Tokyo that sell Kampo medicine. Here are the problems, or there is a problem with the age of the medicinal materials.

This place is the most authentic. After going back and forth, Yan Kai also learned by the way that apart from this Kampo pharmacy in Bunkyo District, there are several good stores in Tokyo where you can buy traditional Chinese medicine.

If we pick out the pharmacies that have been criticized the most by the owners of Kampo pharmacies in Bunkyo Ward, they are basically the Kampo pharmacies with the best quality and reputation in Tokyo.

As for where to buy good medicinal materials in Tokyo, Yan Kai is now pretty familiar with it, but where to buy guitars, he can be said to have no idea at all. After asking Kasumigaoka Shiyu online, Kasumigaoka Shiyu

Tell him that there is a Mei Odori Street in Ochanomizu, Chiyoda Ward, where

Known as the "Guitar Holy Land", there are more than a dozen or twenty various music shops in a block of just over a thousand meters long. Each store is very large in scale, and some can even occupy several floors. There, there are many types of guitars.

There are all kinds of products and brands, whether you are a novice or an experienced user, you can find what you like there.

And because of the concentration of stores, the business competition in the "Guitar Holy Land" is extremely fierce. The discount rate in each store is very amazing, which can be said to be the ultimate discount, and the service is also very good, so if Yan Kai really wants to buy a guitar, he can go

Go try it on Datong Street tomorrow.

After Yan Kai listened to Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words, he immediately went to check it online. Well, the explanation of Mingdatong Street on the Internet was basically the same as Kasumigaoka Shiyu's introduction. Obviously, the senior also read it to Yan Kai after temporarily searching it online.

But seeing that she also had good intentions, Yan Kai decided to stop attacking her once.

When we came to Mingdadong Street, this street was indeed as Kasumigaoka Shiu said, with various piano shops lined up. Looking around, there were piano shops everywhere on both sides of the street. In the piano shops, the music played by customers trying to play the piano was randomly scattered on the street.

There are also many people walking around with guitars, and the name of "Guitar Holy Land" is well deserved.

Since he came here specifically to buy a guitar, Yan Kai did not intend to deal with it with a casual attitude, but planned to find a really good guitar. Otherwise, if he just wanted a guitar, he could just buy one online, and he would not need it.

When you go out, why should you come to the site to see the real thing?

To do anything seriously is the basic condition and the first condition. Only then can you think about how to do it well. If you are not serious, all your beautiful thoughts will be just a fantasy.

The difference between the talkative king and the strongest king is often just the seriousness of doing things.

Therefore, Yan Kai does everything seriously. He has always been indifferent to the things around him for this reason. Not being interested is on the one hand, and he is afraid of being distracted on the other. Although this will make him appear

He is very lonely and has difficulty making friends than ordinary people, but Yan Kai doesn't care at all.

For a long time, Yan Kai never showed a serious expression on his face, but he would never be perfunctory in his actions, including agreeing to be a guest lecturer for Erina Nakiri for training. He looked casual, but in fact he was serious about his work.

Even for the wild survival in the first two days, he took those Totsuki students there after visiting the points in advance to ensure the safety of the students and the condition of the surrounding ingredients. As for the trouble that Xingping Soma caused later, this was due to Yan Kai's inexperience.

Negligence, but it definitely can't be said that he didn't take it seriously.

After the formal teaching, Yan Kai asked himself, he was really teaching students, but...

Hey, it’s okay not to mention this. Anyway, he will be too lazy to be a teacher in the future, and he will feel tired!

There are so many music shops on Datong Street in the Ming Dynasty. If you want to choose a good guitar, it would be too time-consuming to go to them one by one. Yan Kai's time cannot withstand such trouble, but fortunately Yan Kai does not

There is no need to go from house to house and try one by one. In addition to trying it himself, he has other methods to find good quality guitars.

By the way, although Yan Kai can't play guitar, he is still very familiar with and understands plucked instruments. Even if he can't play, he can still tell the quality of a guitar by asking himself.

Passing by a music store, Yan Kai walked in head-on. Just when the clerk bowed to Yan Kai enthusiastically and barely started to say "Welcome", Yan Kai coughed heavily and bowed directly to the clerk who was halfway bowing.

He was stunned and dumbfounded. He didn't know what happened to this guest, so naturally he couldn't say the next words.

After Yan Kai listened attentively for a while, he scanned the price tags on the walls of the music store and the guitar price tags on the shelves. He immediately said to the clerk of the music store: "Thank you, excuse me, farewell!"

After a set of three, Yan walked out of the door of the music store without looking back, leaving the half-bowed clerk in extreme confusion.

What is this person... here for? Why did he just cough and leave? Is he here to spread the virus?

The clerk who came up with this idea immediately moved away from the place where Yan Kai coughed just now. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not safe, so he ran to find disinfectant and sprayed it several times on the area suspected of being contaminated by the virus.

Of course, Yan Kai, who had left the music store, didn't know about the clerk's behavior. Even if Yan Kai knew about it, he would probably just smile and not mind it.

I went to a store to cough for no reason and then left. Faced with this kind of confusing behavior, the clerk was just thinking about safety and sprayed disinfectant on the place where Yan Kai had just been. This is already very polite. Generally speaking,

Speaking of which, it was normal for the clerk to curse Yan Kai behind his back, but Yan Kai was not so stingy as to care about it.

With that cough just now, Yan Kai actually sent out sound waves to pluck the strings of all the guitars in the store, and then based on the extremely slight sound made by this gentle plucking, he could tell whether the guitar was good or bad.

Yan Kai quit the music store just now, of course, not because the store didn't have any good guitars, but because Yan Kai's budget was limited, and the amount he could use was only about 500,000 yen, which was of course enough to buy an ordinary small guitar.

A good guitar, but if you want to buy a really good guitar, adding a zero at the end is not too much, so Yan Kai bought the guitar today with the mentality of picking up the slack.

In addition to brand new guitars, the music store on Datong Street in Ming Dynasty also sells second-hand guitars. After all, guitars are relatively expensive instruments, at least for students, so second-hand trading of guitars is very necessary, and

The quality of second-hand guitars often varies, and it is relatively not impossible to find something missing.

I tried several companies using the same method, but the results were all unsatisfactory. Sure enough, if you can open a music shop in the "Holy Land of Guitar", the business level cannot be any lower. Even for second-hand guitars, their valuations are also very low.

It's very reasonable. Reasonable means that Yan Kai can't take advantage of it at all.

The promised discounts are huge? The promised curling is so great? The price is so discounted that there is no overflow of value for money, can it still be good?

For the ninth time, he walked out of a piano shop with a quite high-end decoration and scale. Yan Kai sighed and shook his head in his heart.

But soon, Yan Kai changed his mind. This time he did not go to the big piano stores with grand store decorations, but to some piano stores with fewer customers and simpler store designs.

It's just simple. The music stores that can open a store in this "Guitar Holy Land" without being involved are all so cheap, so it will definitely not be simple.

Yan Kai was convinced by the quality control of big piano shops, so he could only try his luck at small piano shops.

In most industries, the market will be divided. It is often difficult for the same store to take into account both the high-end and low-end markets. After all, the styles are there, and mixing them together will easily lead to dissatisfaction on both ends. This is why there are many music shops on Datong Street in the Ming Dynasty, but there are some large and some small.

, instead of big piano shops competing for hegemony, small piano shops also have corresponding customers, that is, those students who don’t have a lot of money.

According to some statistics that I don’t know whether to rely on or not, China’s annual consumption of musical instruments is only about one-thirtieth of Japan’s. Although this is also related to the consumption levels and prices of the two countries, even if those differences are eliminated,

The attitudes towards musical instruments between the two countries are obviously completely different.

Due to the influence of "happy education" in Japan, various clubs have emerged in each school, and music is a major category of clubs. Basically every school has many music-related clubs. In Japan, playing music and playing musical instruments is very important.

It's a normal thing, but it's not the case in Zairong.

Students in Zhongyuan are under great pressure to study. Most students will be regarded as not doing their job by their parents once they do things other than studying. Basically, unless their family conditions are excellent, or they have special expertise and hobbies in music and plan to pursue a career in music

For those who follow the undergraduate course, few students will spontaneously spend too much time and energy on music.

Note that what we are talking about here is spontaneous, and those of parents and children are not included.

And students are particularly stingy about spending money on musical instruments. With that money, whether it’s to play games or chase idols, wouldn’t it be more fun!

Therefore, saving up several years of work and pocket money to buy a second-hand guitar is incomprehensible to Chinese people, but in Japan, this is the last time many students from ordinary families get their first guitar.

The usual way.

The small music store that Yan Kai is now in is the kind of music store that mainly caters to ordinary students and specializes in second-hand guitars.

When I walked into the store, the expected "Welcome" did not arrive. There was only a yawning old man with a mustache leaning sleepily on the counter, mumbling something. Yan Kai interpreted it with lip reading,

It seems that he is cursing himself for losing again in horse racing. He will never step into a racecourse again next time, absolutely!

hehe……

Yan Kaixin sneered. He swore that he didn't believe a word of the dog gambling curse. There was a saying in the Xue family's family motto that if any Xue family member gets involved in gambling, his hands will be broken once he bets, and his feet will be broken the second time he bets.

, he will be expelled from the Xue family for the third time, and he must not be exposed to poison. Once he is exposed to poison, his hands and feet will be broken, his martial arts will be abolished, and he will be expelled from the Xue family. These two rules are absolutely merciless.

These two rules were imposed by Xue Dingshan’s father, Yan Kai’s maternal grandfather. The reason why he established such strict family rules was because Yan Kai’s maternal grandfather, who was also Xue Dingshan’s grandfather, was a gambler and smoker.

Opium ruined the body, and gambling led to the loss of all the family property. The Xue family, which had been famous in Shanghai a hundred years ago, declined in a very shameful way.

House, this does not mean that Xue Dingshan’s grandfather still has a shred of conscience and knows that the ancestral house cannot be sold, but that Xue Dingshan’s grandfather smoked opium to death before selling the ancestral house, otherwise the ancestral house will definitely not be retained.

The various actions of Grandpa Xue Dingshan made Xue Dingshan's father suffer a lot since he was a child, and his mother was angered to death early. Therefore, he hated gambling and drugs and vowed never to let those two things enter the Xue family again. At the same time,

There is no memorial tablet for Grandpa Xue Dingshan in the ancestral hall of the Xue family's ancestral home. It is said that Xue Dingshan's father did not set up a memorial tablet for the bad gambler who died of opium smoking. He also said that people who were exposed to those two things were not worthy of entering the Xue family.

Ancestral shrine.

And if the "Xue family's shame" who caused the Xue family to die did anything good that was beneficial to the Xue family, it was probably that he completely ruined the Xue family. After liberation, the poor Xue family was rated as a "poor peasant"

, which indirectly helped the Xue family avoid a disaster. Of course, for this, no one in the Xue family would think twice about his kindness.

The clerk at the counter opened his mouth to bet on the horse race. Yan Kai's first impression of this music store became extremely bad, but he couldn't come in vain, so he coughed and used sound waves to gently fiddle with the strings of the guitar in the store.
