白雪的爸爸叫夏东海，妈妈常常叫他老夏。老夏做的菜很好吃，他有一家饭店。叫“老夏饭店”。饭店不大，可是每天都有很多客人。饭店里有饭，有面条儿，果汁，还有很多菜。

白雪小的时候，每天都跟爸爸妈妈一起去饭店，他们三个人也在饭店吃早饭、午饭和晚饭，每天都很晚关门回家。可以说，饭店是白雪的第二个家。

客人们都很喜欢白雪，喜欢和她说话。白雪有大大的眼睛和小小的嘴巴，很可爱。爸爸妈妈很忙的时候，白雪也能帮忙给客人拿筷子，水和菜单。

白雪六岁的时候开始上学，爸爸每天早上给女儿准备午饭，因为白雪觉得学校的午饭不好吃，她喜欢吃爸爸做的。下午四点多，白雪从学校回到饭店，爸爸妈妈问她今天在学校学习了什么。如果饭店没有人来吃饭，爸爸会看白雪写作业。

PREGUNTAS sobre medicina tradicional y medicina alternativa

L' omicidio del noto matematico Philip March si propone come un caso difficile per l'ispettore Malvisi. Chi è l'assassino?

Certamente uno dei suoi colleghi, invidiosi della popolarità ottenuta dal professor March. I sospetti sono sette: Debora Livi, Ines Lai, Carla Silvi, Ilaria Vieri, Teresa Mari, Elena Gani e Roberto Mei. L'unico indizio è il numero 13, scritto dal professor March in punto di morte.

Ma qual è il legame tra tale numero e uno dei sospetti?  L'ispettore Malvisi lo ha capito e tu, caro ascoltatore, sarai altrettanto bravo?

Mettiti alla prova e scrivi la soluzione del caso nei commenti, spiegando anche il motivo della tua scelta.

Se io fossi Sherlock Holmes

Il problema del numero 13

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は26℃、暑いです。
他の地域では雨が強く降っているようです。

今日は都道府県シリーズ4つ目を話します。
今日は岩手県について、です。
岩手県は青森県の南、秋田県の東にあります。


大きさ、面積は、15,000km2
人口は、約1,190,000人

県の木　ナンブアカマツ
県の花　キリ
県の鳥　キジ

有名なご当地グルメは、(ご当地はその地域だけの、という意味です)

盛岡じゃじゃ麺です。これは、『白龍』というお店の人が戦前に、昔の満州（今の中国）で食べたものをもとに作ったようです。

そして、盛岡冷麺です。これは、朝鮮半島から日本に移住した人が盛岡で冷麺の販売をはじめたことがはじまりなようです。


最後にわんこそばです。
岩手では昔は米より蕎麦の栽培が盛んでした。
ですが、蕎麦は茹でなければならず一度にたくさん茹でる事もできません。そこで、何回にも分けて少しずつの蕎麦を出しておかわりしてもらう事で、そばを出す時間を短くしたようです。たくさんの蕎麦をゆで続けて何回にも分けて出すことで、みんながお腹一杯になるまで食べる事ができるのが「わんこそば」だそうです。


観光で有名なのは、
中尊寺金色堂(ちゅうそんじこんじきどう)ですかね。
お寺ですね。仏教思想の影響で中尊寺の庭は、極楽浄土をあらわしている、ともいわれています。
私も行ったことはありませんが、学校の歴史の授業で何度も聞いたことがあります。
これがある地域は世界遺産にもなっています。


個人的に興味があるのは、わんこそば、ですね。
そばが大好きなので、どれぐらい食べれるか、挑戦してみたいです。


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
