Passepartout wandered for several hours in the midst of this motley crowd , looking in at the windows of the rich and curious shops , the jewellery establishments glittering with quaint japanese ornaments , the restaurants decked with streamers and banners , the tea - houses , where the odorous beverage was being drunk with saki , a liquor concocted from the fermentation of rice , and the comfortable smoking - houses , where they were puffing , not opium , which is almost unknown in japan , but a very fine , stringy tobacco . he went on till he found himself in the fields , in the midst of vast rice plantations 在这些各色各样的人群中，路路通整整游逛了好几个钟头，他参观了街上那些稀奇古怪而又富丽堂皇的店铺欣赏了堆满着金光夺目的日本首饰市场张望了那些门前挂着花花绿绿的小旗子，而他却没钱进去的日本饭店也瞧了瞧那些茶馆，那儿人们正在端着满杯喝着一种清香扑鼻热气腾腾的用发酵大米作成的酒酿汤，此外他还看了那些香烟馆，那儿人们不是在吸鸦片，而是吸着一种气味芬芳的烟草，因为在日本吸鸦片的人，几乎可以说没有。
