What does this store look like?
The store is called Bobcat Hen, a restaurant that asks for too much. Two gentlemen came to this restaurant and instead of a waiter, the first thing they were confronted with was a bunch of unexplained words, disrobing, touching breast cream, and a host of other complicated ordering requirements. They do as they are told, until they are finally confronted with a request for a jar of salt and a smear of salt, and they react to the fact that this restaurant is not a restaurant that serves a meal but a restaurant that eats people up.
It's a simple story that is creepy when you think about it. This tactic is like a pyramid scheme that takes you step by step into the abyss, and by the time you realize it, it's already too late.
How does this store abduct people to the store step by step?
The first step is to confuse the facts and confuse people.
When a person is dazed, he loses the consciousness of thinking, and it is much easier to act at this time. Sun Erniang's Human Bun Shop gives a night of ecstasy. And Kenji Miyazawa's ecstasy is a gust of wind, isn't that amazing?
A gust of wind blew, and the two people were in a trance, and a restaurant appeared in front of them.
The first sentence to see is, come as you are, don't be polite. General restaurants are refused to poor people, a "no refusal", actually let the two people think that this store can be white whore.
The second sentence is the most welcome fat people and young people, these two people happen to be occupied.
In general, fat people have more oil and water, and young people have delicious meat, which is the best object to do human flesh to eat.
But this store tactics clever, did not tell the reason for welcoming fat young people, but let the other side to guess the intention.
Unfortunately, people are in a certain sense me-oriented, that is, they always have a tendency to self-affirmation, always naturally take their own standards as the basis for measuring things, and they always tend to think about things in their favor when they think.
The next step is to take advantage of people's weaknesses and lure them in.
These two people love to take advantage of small advantages, the general public think that a store can eat a meal will be a suspicion, that there is a fraud behind. These two people still foolishly thought they had stumbled upon a good place, and fat people and young people eat a lot, this store can be a big loss.
Finally step by step to set a trap, put forward more excessive requirements, you will be forced to the end of the road.
Comb your hair, wipe your shoes, take off your jacket, etc. are still harmless, to the end of the need to rub salt into their own body, so that the hearts of the people to be afraid.
Fortunately, in the end, it is the dog that gets eaten, not the human.
But those who have experienced the scam understand that what was once experienced is a nightmare in retrospect.
We follow the protagonist to the end of the restaurant, facing the fate of being eaten, only to find out that it was all an illusion.
It's only when we come back to the story that we realize something, and it turns out that the intersection of reality and illusion is a gust of wind.
The wind springs up and whistles.
The two gentlemen were so hungry that a restaurant appeared in front of them.
And a gust of wind blew, and the restaurant disappeared like a wisp of smoke, only two gentlemen shivering in the wind.
The illusion came and went without a sound.
But in stark contrast to reality, we realize we have been deceived.
The two dogs are dead at the beginning of the story, but miraculously come back to life at the end.
The bobcat Hen at the beginning of the story turns into smoke at the end.
This shows that the bobcat is an illusion and the two dogs are real.
So how is the bobcat able to create an illusion?
In Japan, there is a legend of the "cat again", or cat demon. According to the Japanese Psychic Records, the cat demon is an old cat, usually in the image of an old woman, the body is about twice the size of a human being, and a large cat demon can even grow to the size of a calf, and the tail is split into two at the end.
The cat demon naturally has demonic power, and is able to create illusions and play tricks on people.
So is this hoax really just a prank by the cat demon?
Marx said: "The development of capitalism, is a man-eating process."
In the history of capitalist development, the "sheep eat people" enclosure movement, the landlord class sheep enclosure after the rich, while the peasants were driven out of their homes; the slave trade in the countless black people were deprived of human nature and dignity; the opium trade also do not know how many common people poisoned.
When Kenji Miyazawa wrote this fairy tale, Japan was in the Taisho era, and after the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's monopoly capital developed rapidly and grew into the only imperialist country in Asia.
And in this social environment, Miyazawa Kenji, born in Japan's poorest Iwate Prefecture, witnessed the miserable life of local farmers, sympathetic heart to them, but also resigned from his public office, personally guided the farmers to scientific cultivation of the field, and became a farmer himself. At first glance he appears to be a poor peasant, unable to escape from the fate of being exploited. In fact, he comes from a local rich merchant family, which means he is on the exploiting side, and this identity dichotomy gives him a deeper understanding of the nature of the bourgeoisie.
These two main characters allude to the bourgeoisie of the Taisho era. They are the typical image of the bourgeoisie, holding most of the wealth of the society, but contemptuous of life, calculating every day how to exploit others.
When the dog died, what they thought was not that a life had died, but that they had lost two thousand four hundred dollars. To them, other people's lives are like grass, not worth a few dollars.
And what about when they themselves are the exploited party, at risk of death?
All they do is cry one after another and turn to the hunters for help.
Kenji Miyazawa borrows the pen of a fairy tale to subtly satirize them.
They exploit others without realizing that in the fantasy world, they too will have their day to be exploited.
There will always be a time when a person is hungry, a time when he is down and out. When they disregarded the lives of living beings and only cared about themselves to get more benefits for themselves, they did not think about what it would be like when they were starving, and did not realize that they would also be the next food for others.
In the end, their faces crumpled up like pieces of paper, never recovering their original fullness.
The imagery of a piece of paper is interesting, and the money is also a piece of paper, but it has an extraordinary meaning.
We can imagine how the two gentlemen looked before, with money in their pockets, they felt superior and honored. But after all these ups and downs, their faces, bulging with money, have dried up and can never be restored to their original state.
This is the deception of The Restaurant That Demands Too Much, where Kenji Miyazawa uses clever ideas to fool the people in the book, as well as the people outside the book.
