Chapter 51: Show a mockery of the ignorant
Instead of being provoked, Toba calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
No one can laugh at a high priest like this, not even Toba takes the position seriously. But Xing Jie has the qualifications to say this. In the information obtained by Toba, Xing Jie's experience can be said to be breathtaking.
Worshipping people who are stronger than themselves, this kind of disposition has been deeply imprinted in the genes of Dongying people. You can taunt them, ignore them, or even despise them, but only if you are better than them!
None of them pee, but they are obedient to their American father.
Why? Haven't you scared them yet?
"I think we can find a place to sit down and have a few drinks, what about you, let go of the hatred in your heart, and listen to me brag. If you believe it, then let's join forces, and if you don't believe it, how about listening to a story?"
Toba thought for a moment and nodded. But then he asked, "Why did you choose to work with me?"
Xing Jie shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said, "Because you are just a force, even if your power is huge in the shadows, but compared to the Dongying royal family, you are just a joke." It is much better to cooperate with individuals than with the country, because I am not qualified to bargain with the Dongying royal family!"
The real words are hard to hear, but this is indeed what Xing Jie thinks in his heart. Even if he thoroughly unearths the secret of Magatama, he only gets a bonus. But with Toba, it's a different story.
Toba knows this. However, once Xing Jie chooses to cooperate with the orthodox royal family, he will at most make some trouble on the sidelines, and the entire Dongying will die, but he will not get any other benefits.
"Well, I remember there was a village at the foot of the mountain, and there was an izakaya there. The daiginjo there is very good, and the ice drink will be the most perfect enjoyment in this weather, and the tempura is also very good, I wonder if Xing-san is interested in going over with me to have a few drinks?"
"Of course, I'm a person who has no resistance to food and the like. ”
It's hard to imagine that Toba's so-called folk izakaya is just a roadside stall. Well, that's what we see in Toei comics, movies and TV series. A small cart with a curtain on it, the kind with maybe only three or four seats in it.
Xing Jie couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but he was also a little relieved when he thought of a saying called the deep alley of fine wine. Who rules that there is no food in the food stalls? In the summer, don't you often go to an old stall with a few brothers to play skewers? Maybe this boss really has some unique skills.
Sure enough, seeing Toba and Xing Jie coming together, the boss's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he quickly took out two sets of exquisite wine tables, and then took out a bottle in a dark corner and carefully buried it in the curling. After serving two small plates of tempura, it's time to prepare the appetizers.
"This is the beans that were just picked today, and they are very fresh. I was going to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come in person. Please wait a while, it will be fine right away. ”
"The boss is polite, who doesn't know that the Nakata family's edan beans are the best in the entire Izumo area? ”
Xing Jie looked at the gentle and graceful bird feather in front of him, and it was difficult to connect with the ruthless person he had just seen.
Maybe this is the hypocritical face of the so-called superiors, Xing Jie thought secretly.
Boss Nakata's hand is very steady, and after gently picking all the beans, he picks out the fullest, and discards the rest. After rubbing it with large sea salt, set it aside and wait for the beans to taste. Then take a small pot, pour in clean water, and wait for it to boil.
Xing Jie tasted tempura, and it was really good to discover the tongue of this bird feather, it was hard to believe that someone in such a remote village could have such good cooking skills. It's just a regular deep-fried tempura, but while it's fried, all the original flavors of the ingredients are brought out.
"It's delicious, it's much more delicious than in Kyoto. Xing Jie praised.
After Toba's translation, Boss Nakata was even more pleased, and he brought the already iced wine to him.
After a cup, Xing Jie suddenly felt lingering in the mouth, cold and pleasant. The slight greasy feeling in my mouth after eating the tempura immediately disappeared.
When the green beans were cooked, and a small dish of soy sauce was served on two plates, the boss confessed and pushed the door away.
……
What happens when a man drinks too much?
In general, they will brag.
It's just how to blow, that still requires technical content!
Especially a high priest who listened from the side was engrossed, and Xing Jie's talk was called a cool. But all the key points are hidden, isn't this nonsense? Without some benefits, how can such important information be given away in vain?
"That diamond is called the Heart of the Moon Reading, do you know why?" Xing Jie asked lightly after taking a sip of wine.
"I don't know much about this, but in the records of our ancestors, every time the moon is full, this diamond will shine a miracle like no other. But I don't know how many times I've tried, and I didn't find anything unique except that it was a little brighter. ”
"I think you're afraid that the moonlight won't shine enough, so you deliberately got to the top of the back mountain. Also, the so-called records handed down by your ancestors should also be the story of the time when Emperor Toba was deposed. Besides, this diamond, and even his name, should have been handed down by that emperor, right?"
Toba was like seeing a ghost, he had always kept his face unchanged and maintained a gentle and elegant state, and he was shocked by Xing Jie's words twice in one day. That's right, just like Xing Jie said, he did it. Even in order to maintain his piety, he deliberately chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and went on a hunger strike for three days to bathe in incense.
However, there is still no use for birds.
So, after trying a few times, he was completely hopeless.
And the record of the ancestors is indeed as Xing Jie said, this diamond was handed down by the ancestor Emperor Toba. As for what exactly it does, it is not said.
"I hope Xing Sang will give him advice!"
Xing Jie's heart was very happy, this is the benefit of being well-informed. Why? Because I know more than you! Besides, you are not my own son, and I can teach you to be smart, so you should be grateful to Dade!
Xing Jie took another drink, smashed his mouth, and felt that the aftertaste was endless, it was really good wine.
At one end of this shelf, how could Toba not know what it meant, as soon as he grabbed Xing Jie's clothes and ran towards the mountain, saying as he ran, as long as he could unravel this secret, how many Daiginjo of this level would be necessary, and when Xing Jie returned to China, he would definitely send a large number of them to show his gratitude and so on.
Can he not be in a hurry? If Xing Jie's words are not true, then he will have a big killing weapon in his hand. Although he doesn't have a bronze holy tree in his hand, the power comparable to a laser is already coveted!
