39. Hotta's shattered outlook on life (middle)

Hotta Yu was also pushed to wash by Jiang Shuiyuan in despair, and was dragged to have a tasteless breakfast, and then the two of them squatted under the locust tree at the entrance of Taixue, one silently doubted life, and the other looked through the "Han and Shuangjie Dictionary" with relish. It wasn't until Pu Xiaoxiang appeared that Hotta Yuya's spirit was lifted, and he lightly smashed the river water source a few times with his elbow:

"Hey, hey, Jiang Jun, there's a big beautiful woman over there, she looks very punctual!

Jiang Shuiyuan also saw Pu Xiaoxiang, who was dressed in fancy clothes and walking over gracefully, and deliberately instigated him with a wicked taste: "Why not? You come first or I come first?"

Yu Hotta also looked at Jiang Shuiyuan's appearance, evaluated himself again, and immediately stood up: "I'll come first!" I'm a famous girl killer on the streets of Otsu, with a success rate of 95%, and the remaining 5% is that I was accosted. So please don't be impatient, and see how I managed to invite this angelic beautiful girl to go shopping with us! Look, she's already coming at me!"

Saying that, Hotta Yuya also walked a few steps quickly and stopped in front of Pu Xiaoxiang: "Honorable, beautiful young lady, we are very good!"

Pu Xiaoxiang rolled his eyes: "You go away!"

"What is it to go?" said Hotta Yuya, who was also deliberately confused, "Miss, your clothes are beautiful, but you are even more beautiful! I hope you can—"

Pu Xiaoxiang directly bypassed Hotta Yuya, and went to Jiang Shuiyuan to be slightly blessed, and then asked, "Jiang Shuiyuan, who is that second goods?"

Closing the dictionary and standing up, Emizu pointed at Yuya Hotta and replied with a smile, "His name is Yuya Hotta, he is from Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, and he is currently studying at the prefectural Otsu High School." Because Dajin and Danzhou are sister cities, he came to Danzhou to study and travel, and by the way, he came to Dongpo Mountain Villa to experience the peerless elegance of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Pu Xiaoxiang was a little surprised, and said casually: "It turns out that he is really a little devil!"

"Honorable, beautiful young lady, I'm a mud bombard, not a little devil!" Yuya Hotta corrected seriously after him, "Also, as you heard, the contemptible person is called Yuya Hotta, who came to Tianchao for a study trip. First time meeting, please advise!"

Pu Xiaoxiang hurriedly saluted and said, "My name is Pu Xiaoxiang, and I also ask Hotta-kun to give me a lot of advice!"

Hotta Yuya also walked to the side of the water source, lightly touched the water source with his elbow, and asked softly, "So you know each other!

Jiang Shuiyuan was afraid that Pu Xiaoxiang would be unhappy, so he replied in Japanese: "私のクラスメート." (My classmates.) )

Pu Xiaoxiang seemed to be worried about what Jiang Shuiyuan said that he didn't want to hear, and hurriedly replied: "私は彼の彼女です." (I'm his girlfriend.) When she finished speaking, she realized that Jiang Shuiyuan was also speaking Japanese. Since he can speak, he can naturally understand it, and he can't help but feel embarrassed at the moment. Fortunately, she was in a hurry, and immediately asked like a cannon: "Huh, Jiang Shuiyuan, when did you learn Japanese? I don't know?"

Jiang Shuiyuan also didn't want to dwell on the question just now: "I learned a few words from Mr. Hotta last night, but it's just a little daily conversation, and the rest is not familiar with it." ”

Pu Xiaoxiang didn't give Hotta Yuya a chance to interject at all: "Then we can chat in Japanese from now on! I have been teaching a little bit with the mud bombing family since I was a child, and now I have almost forgotten about it, so I just took the opportunity to review." ”

"I have no knowledge of Japanese, so don't dislike it when the time comes!"

"How can I dislike it? Although I have learned a little before, but now it is no different from zero foundation, we are exactly half a catty to eight taels, and the tip of the needle is to Maimang. ”

Hotta Yu finally waited for the opportunity to speak, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Pu, you are actually calm and your face is as usual! Don't you think it's amazing? Jiang Jun actually learned Japanese in just one night. Although it was just a daily conversation, the pronunciation was so standard, the grammar was almost error-free, and there were some brilliant new words from time to time, it was jaw-dropping!"

Pu Xiaoxiang shook his head: "If you are talking about someone else, I definitely don't believe it, but you are talking about the source of the river, I will definitely not have any doubts." - I wouldn't be surprised if you say that he had a flash of inspiration this morning and proved Fermat's theorem on two pages, for I know better than anyone how good he is!"

......Hearing Pu Xiaoxiang's answer, Jiang Shuiyuan felt that his face was so hot that he could boil an egg, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Hotta-kun, Pu Xiaoxiang, didn't you say that you were going shopping? Let's go! Let's not get up early in the morning and catch up for a late meeting!"

"Okay!

As soon as he heard about shopping, Pu Xiaoxiang immediately germinated in nature, shouted happily, and rushed forward with the water source of the river. Jiang Shuiyuan had a bitter and hateful expression on his face, as if he was not going shopping, but going to the execution ground. In this regard, Hotta Yu is also very disdainful: Don't be born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, okay? If you really don't want to, let go of that hand and let me come!

In all fairness, even if Dongpo Villa is prosperous, it is only the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, and its architecture, environment and cityscape are not even comparable to an ordinary county town today. For example, known as the head of the 72 restaurants in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty, the place where Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and the famous master of Kyoto Li Shishi, the Fan Tower, is just a 4-story brick and wood structure building, which is too shabby to be an ordinary residential building today, but at that time it was a high-rise building that stood out from the crowd, crowning the entertainment center of the capital, which was enough to make the well-informed Li Shizhong shout "Youba"!

- Youba is a common slang term used by Bianliang citizens to express their appreciation.

Of course, there are shabby places, and there are also jaw-dropping luxury. For example, the three of them walked until noon and came to the famous Fan Tower. As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper sent a whole set of tableware such as wine jugs, wine bowls, plates, fruit and vegetable plates, and soup bowls handmade by pure silver. Jiang Shuiyuan weighed it and estimated that it would cost at least 100 taels of silver to make this set of utensils, which is about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan today!

While rubbing the eight-sided flower and bird pattern silver plate, Hotta Yuya said with a speech: "The Song Dynasty is really powerful, and it actually uses silver to make a whole set of tableware! No wonder Marco Polo said in his travelogue that the East is a country full of gold, and it is estimated that he was shocked by these tableware full of gold and silver!"

Pu Xiaoxiang asked like a curious baby: "Why did the people of the Song Dynasty use silver? Are they afraid that someone will poison them?"

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled: "You don't need silver, so what should you use?"

"Of course it's made of ceramics!" Pu Xiaoxiang replied confidently.

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded: "According to the literature, there were indeed many wine shops and restaurants in the Song Dynasty that used Dingzhou white porcelain bottles and Yaozhou celadon bowls, but for the Fan Lou on the first floor of the world, these porcelain were of slightly lower grade. The porcelain produced by famous kilns such as Ru, Guan, Ge and Jun is of high grade, but it is generally used as a porcelain for the royal family and wealthy businessmen to ornament and decorate the living room, and will not be used as daily tableware. And the price is not cheap, a very ordinary bowl costs about 30 yuan, and those famous porcelain are even more incredible, there is no limit! The key porcelain is still a consumable product, and it will break the edge at every turn, in case you encounter Lu Ti She's such a grumpy person, you will throw the dishes and bowls on the floor slab, and the shop and Xiao Er will wait to cry!"

Yu Hotta also agreed: "It is true that compared with porcelain, silverware is stronger and more resistant to falling, and even if it is broken, as long as it is re-forged in the furnace, it will immediately look new and will not be reduced in the slightest." - But why not copper?"

Pu Xiaoxiang hurriedly replied: "Because copper is easy to grow patina, and it smells of copper!"

Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help laughing: "Flowing water does not rot, the hub does not beetle, how can copper grow on the commonly used bronze ware? In fact, bronze ware was still relatively common in the Song Dynasty, but as I said just now, it is precisely because it is common that a big brand restaurant like Fan Lou will not use it." Moreover, copper was forbidden in the Song Dynasty, mainly used to mint copper coins, and private trading was strictly prohibited, especially for making utensils. As the Fan Lou at the foot of the Son of Heaven and the first good district, it is naturally not likely to risk the world's condemnation. Alright, hurry up and order!"

Yu Hotta is also a guest, so he orders first. As a result, as soon as he opened the menu, he was dumbfounded: "What are these things?" (To be continued.) )
