Seeing Ye Yu frowning and pondering with an invitation, Ye Yao was a little strange and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" Who sent it? ”

She couldn't read the island language.

Ye Yu sighed and said, "Uemura Hao, a relatively famous writer in the island country. ”

"Writers?"

"Yes, invite me to a writers' party." Ye Yu sighed and said, "There is no good banquet!" ”

"Are the invitees writers who boycott you?" Ye Yao asked.

"Not exactly." Ye Yu looked at the invitation again, recalled, and said, "Of the few people mentioned here, a few of them have not expressed any opinions on topics related to me, maybe they have published them in private, but at least I don't know." But there are also a few who did resist me. ”

"There aren't many people in Britain who boycott you!" Su Xiaomo was a little puzzled and said, "It stands to reason that Ye Yu has a stronger foundation in the island country and has a longer development time, why do the island countries boycott you more celebrities and forces than the UK?" ”

"Actually, it's not hard to understand." Ye Yu pondered it and said, "The biggest difference is that the development mode is different.

I'm in the UK, and it's the subsidiaries and channels that are established before the popularity is cultivated.

At that time, many people thought that I would fight on the streets, so they watched the play. As a result, instead of hitting the streets, my popularity skyrocketed. By the time they found out that something was wrong, I had everything, and the boycott was not very effective.

Moreover, the establishment of British subsidiaries and channels was helped by the British royal family. When Queen Elizabeth visited China, she also signed an agreement with China on the promotion of cultural exchanges between the two countries, including the publication of literary works, which can be regarded as a policy trend.

These two points cannot be ignored.

It's not the same in island countries. I'm in an island country, and the cultivation of popularity precedes the establishment of subsidiaries and channels.

The local forces of the island country clearly know that I am a fierce enemy, so they are particularly firm in resisting it.

Again. Although the strength of Gutian Publishing House is not weak, how can its status in the island country be compared with the status of the British royal family in Britain?

In the end, the relationship between China and the island countries is not very good. Hasn't militarism emerged in island countries recently? Their boycott of me is, to a certain extent, in line with the direction of the policy.

Not...... Sometimes, it's a good idea to set up subsidiaries and channels while others are unprepared.

However, opportunities like those in the UK are rare. The royal family is not a god teammate who can be had. ”

Ye Yu had already explained it very clearly, and the two of them naturally understood.

"Since there is no good banquet, then brother, don't go." Ye Yao said.

"Go, how can you not go?" Ye Yu said, "Compared with those commercial forces, in fact, these people in the literary world are much easier to deal with. In particular, there are a few highly respected people in it, most of whom are arrogant. Besides, it's not a Longtan tiger's den, so why go there? ”

……

Among those who come to the island country. Only Ye Yuhe and the accompanying interpreter understand the island Chinese.

Obviously, Ye Yu didn't need to bring a translator.

Because, he came, and a man was invited.

Since ancient times, literati loved wine when they were crazy and tea when they were quiet.

The meeting place is not a cheesy hotel, but it is not a teahouse, but a separate and secluded courtyard.

In the inner room, it is typical of the classical style of the island country. The furniture is all made of wood and paper, which is full of antiquity. There is not a hint of modernity in sight.

Through the sliding door, you can see the courtyard outside.

Three or two rockeries, several stone lanterns, aqueducts, water bowls, bamboo fences. Sand and gravel, two cherry blossom trees swaying in the wind, scattering petals and floating on the clear, cold water.

The sound of the deer chasing the deer filled with water is regular and pleasant.

There are not many people.

Count Ye Yu. There were seven writers, a tea ceremony master and four beautiful maids kneeling on the sidelines dressed in plain kimonos, making a total of 12 people.

Among the twelve, Ye Yu is the most special.

It's not that his identity, or that he is the most special.

It's what he's wearing.

The other eleven were all wearing antique kimonos, and Ye Yu was wearing down jackets.

There is no mention of dress codes on the invitation.

Among the eleven people, the tea ceremony master and the maid wore kimonos, which is understandable.

But six island writers wear kimonos at the same time, so it's certainly not a coincidence.

When he first arrived here, the organizer Uemura Hiroshi suggested that Ye Yu go to the next room to change into a kimono with a pleasant attitude.

Ye Yu refused.

If you go out with Ye Yao and a few people to travel to the hot springs, it is nothing to wear a kimono, and if you follow the customs of the locals, it can be regarded as experiencing the customs of the island country, but now it is a writers' party.

To be more honest, it was a gathering between him as a Chinese writer and writers from other island countries, and he was a Chinese man in the audience, what would he look like if he wore a kimono?

"If you wear it, it won't look the same. If you don't wear it, such a down jacket that doesn't fit in with the surroundings will leave a bad impression on those writers who are very prestigious in the literary circles of the island country. Ye Yu smiled secretly, "This Uemura Hao looks quite upright, but I didn't expect to be a scheming." Even a new kimono was prepared for me, and it seems that it was deliberate. Either the invitation to the other people was written with precautions for dress, and I didn't, or these six people often get together, and it is customary to wear ancient costumes, but Hiroshi Uemura deliberately did not inform me. ”

In this case, if there is a Hanfu, Ye Yu will definitely change it.

Kimono?

It's better to wear a down jacket.

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.

Everyone looked at the woman in the middle.

She is the tea ceremony master Miki Ki invited by Hiroshi Uemura, and the appearance fee is very high, more than 2 million island coins, and ordinary people still don't want her.

Dressed in a white kimono embroidered with cherry blossoms, his skin is better than snow, and his hair is coiled high, revealing a delicate face with picturesque eyebrows, and his temperament is elegant and gentle.

The movements are complex and detailed, yet natural.

A bowl of cherries.

People are pleasing to the eye, and tea art is also pleasing to the eye.

It is indeed worthy of an appearance fee of 2 million island dollars.

After a while, the tea is made and the tea is divided.

Ye Yu took the tea handed by the maid and savored it.

He doesn't understand tea, but it's much better than the tea he used to brew.

"Raw incense smoked sleeves, live fire to divide tea." Looking at Miki Ji, Ye Yu smiled slightly and said, "Good tea." ”

In Ye Yu's view, taking out the self-brewed wine to entertain the guests is the most cordial welcome, slaughtering the self-raised chickens and ducks to keep the guests is the most hospitable banquet, and similarly, appreciating in the native language of one's motherland is the highest appreciation.

Therefore, the first eight characters of his speech are in Chinese.

Afraid that the other party would not understand, he added a sentence of "good tea" - these two words are in the island Chinese.

Miki bowed in thanks.

Ye Yu smiled slightly, he didn't know if the other party understood, but he didn't care.

After tasting the tea, it is time to enter the theme of this party.

PS: Bonus subscription, the author has no income. In the past, I calculated that I could get 0.0153 yuan per thousand words per subscription, and now I can get 700 yuan per subscription, in other words, I can get 10 yuan and 7 cents for 1,000 words. Fengwu is a handicap, and he can only write a thousand words in an hour, and if he is a cardin, it will be even longer, five hundred words an hour is possible, and sometimes even a card for several hours. To put it mildly, a little more than 10 yuan an hour, less than 11 yuan, and there are few cheaper ones these days. So, if you're willing to support Fengwu, I hope you don't subscribe to this book with bonuses. Because of the gift consumption, the author does not have a share. Thank you, thank you here.
