Koohii stories:

1) [Stormchild] 29-9-2006(259): When buying rice, the fee is calculated by the cup. Naturally we don't just use any cup; it has to be a proper measuring cup.

2) [wzafran] 24-10-2007(62): Samurai(s) once received their fee in the form of rice that had been carefully weighed in a measuring cup beforehand.

3) [Shibo] 23-5-2008(39): Ancient Japan mobile promises no monthly fees for long distance but I hate the fact that they don't take credit cards. I'm tired of mailing them a measuring cup full of rice every month.

4) [sgrant] 26-11-2008(13): Hidden fees are everywhere nowadays. Just the other day, I bought some rice, and they charged me for using the measuring cup!

5) [Hawkeye123] 15-2-2009(10): This kanji is used in 料理 (cooking). Imagine a cooking recipe: Telling you how many cups of rice (measuring cups, of course) you need, and what the fee at the supermarket is.
