Chapter 139: Night Here

The merchants of Hirado are looking for an opportunity to meet the big boss of Keihuaxiang, but this big boss is still shy like the daughter who can't leave the boudoir for three steps, and he didn't see anyone for two whole days after coming to Hirado!

After the opening of the Qinghuaxiang store, business was booming, and half of the groceries were sold on the first day of opening. But the big boss Wang still didn't show up. There is only a patio from the shop to the small building, but it is unattainable for those who want to come to inquire about the news - there is Yu Bu Du Guoqing in the soft grinding in the store, and there is Shingoro Shinrokuro in the patio in the hard block, if it is not for the clear sound of the 'hole' flute coming from the small building every night, many people will almost wonder if Qing Huaxiang has such a boss.

"This kid is trying to raise the price!" Some merchants in the buyer guessed the thoughts of the East 'Gate' celebration: "We must not be in a hurry!" Otherwise, you will fall for his tricks! ”

As a result, Su, Huang, Chen, Lin, and the seven families of Shimai, Shenya, and Imai secretly connected and reached an agreement: if the price offered by Qinghuaxiang was higher than their expectations, the seven of them would unanimously not buy the goods. In the end, the seven companies set a more specific expected purchase price, capped at 250 taels per quintal of raw silk – a price that could only be regarded as the high price of raw silk in Hirado, which was quite incommensurate with the current shortage of raw silk. However, at this moment, the seven of them joined forces, and they could basically monopolize the sales of seventy or eighty percent of the raw silk, and in such a situation, there was indeed capital to suppress the seller's price.

After the miscellaneous goods in Keikasho's shop were seventy or eighty percent out, the East Gate Kei ordered the division to be given to the brothers, and the sailors took turns to spend money all over Hirado after receiving the dividends, and the whole Hirado market was warmed up! Restaurants, tea shops, brothels, casinos, everywhere there are Qinghuaxiang sailors, everyone is talking about the mysterious Wang Zongzhu, there are more and more legends about him, or called the East 'Gate' son, or called Wang Daguan's, there are also not very polite people pointing to the pennant 'privately' called double-headed koi, Kyushu all over the sailors, 'Lang' people, samurai heard that this Ming official is so generous to his subordinates, all the ownerless heartbeat, want to be able to also cast under his 'door' good. And when the merchants saw that the East 'Gate' Qing was doing this, they didn't know how much strength Qing Huaxiang still had.

Day after day, time is like a wheel, in the blink of an eye, it has been seven or eight days since Qing Huaxiang entered the port, and Daming still has not seen the arrival of follow-up ships, and Qing Huaxiang's master still has no intention of 'showing up', but the seven alliances are in a hurry first. Although they are also not small merchants, they are not running their own capital, and they are involved in several big names behind them, if they can't buy what they need in time, then they will not only lose money, but even be criminalized!

On the ninth day, the head of the Su family broke the agreement first and secretly connected with Du Guoqing, hoping to meet with the East 'Gate' Qing 'privately' - this time the joint leaked the news for some reason, and was caught by the Shimai family and the Huang family! When the other four families heard the news, they quarreled, Shimai and the others knew that the Su family still had the support of the Lin family in this action, and the other five families were furious, and the relationship between the seven alliances broke down on the spot!

On this day, a well-informed 'Lang' man suddenly heard that Qinghuaxiang's sailors were preparing a small boat, and it seemed that they wanted to cross the sea overnight to the Songpu Peninsula, and the two merchants who first heard the news were taken aback.

The Matsuura Peninsula is close to Hirado, and the Ming merchants have a lot of 'friendship', because they need to use the political strength of the Matsuura family in the local area, the Ming merchants will take care of the Matsuura family when they do business, and Matsuura Takannobu itself also has the strength to buy a large number of goods. In order to offset this advantage of the Matsuura family, the merchants from his domain would often pay a slightly higher price than the Matsuura family to buy Chinese goods, this time the merchants thought that this Qinghuaxiang boss was the first time to the Japanese, and he may not be able to quickly establish a relationship with Matsuura Takannobu, who expected that in the end it was wrong!

All the merchants were stunned when they heard it! Jun thought: "It turns out that he wants to sell the goods directly to the Matsuura family!" ”

In fact, with the cargo volume of the size of the Shuangyu fleet, the Matsuura family's own consumption cannot be exhausted, and most of it will be resold in the end. It's just that after an extra layer of hands, the profit will inevitably be thinner!

The head of the Huang family said to Du Guoqing with regret and anger: "Your account is too good to do things!" Go straight to Matsuura's house, what is this! Put it here to sell, first, it is convenient, you don't have to flatter others, and secondly, the price can also be discussed! Why rush across the strait? ”

Du Guoqing hurriedly said: "Actually, when our son-in-law came to Songpu's house, he didn't go to do business. ”

"Not to do business? So what to do? ”

"This, this...... Our son-in-law crossed the sea this time to come on a study tour! This time, I went to lecture and discuss poetry with Matsuura-sama! When Du Guoqing said this, his smile was obviously a little embarrassed, everyone saw it, where could they believe it? Even Du Guoqing himself doesn't believe it.

So what does the boss of Qinghuaxiang want to do when he prepares the boat? Both the Shimai family and the Huang family are determined in their hearts that he must want to go to the Matsuura family! The other five families also stepped up their inquiries when they saw the changes between the Huang family and the Shimai family, and soon learned about the matter, and they were anxious. I didn't think that the news came again at dusk, but this time it was the half-drunk second husband who leaked his mouth and said that the head of their family was not going to meet the daimyo of the Matsuura family when he crossed the sea tonight, but to find a village on the Matsuura Peninsula to spend the night.

This is the old custom of Wajima at night, and this "this" is read and worshipped, which is the meaning of night raid. Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not a military night raid, it's a men's night raid on a 'woman'. Naturally, the subject of the night is men, and the objects are young unmarried 'women', and sometimes married 'women' are also included. The specific form is that men are free to go to the 'woman'' house at night to ask for pleasure, and of course the 'woman' can accept it or refuse, and accept it and have a good time, and this form of 'sex' in Japan is not only customary, but also public.

Some villages even organize groups of men and women to manage the night, and sometimes they even draw lots to avoid inequality between the rich and the poor. After the 'draw', if the 'female' does not accept it, the substitution can be coordinated. In some villages, men from outside the village are not allowed to enter, while in others there are no restrictions.

Not only can the men of the village be 'female' in this village at night, but for the villages where men from other villages are allowed to stay here at night, if a man has enough physical strength, he can even go over the mountains and mountains to go to other villages to stay here at night. In response to this situation, some villages will also put some food on the table and 'door' at home, such as water and rice balls, so that the men who come here at night can replenish their energy and do things.

If a child is born, the 'woman' can designate the father at will, and according to the traditional Japanese concept of the village, the child is actually the child of the whole village, so the two families usually do not care whether the child is the blood and blood of a certain man. The 'woman' is basically looking for a husband when she appoints the child's father, so the 'woman' usually finds someone who he thinks is suitable, while the man generally does not refuse, and probably does not worry about the hat turning green.

The news came so suddenly, so weirdly! Some people resolutely disbelieve it, thinking that it is a pretext, "The state of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, this son of the East 'Gate' heard that he is a descendant of a master of science, how can he do such an old vulgar and despicable act?" ”

But the two sentences of a young man in the Imai family made everyone believe it: "If this son of the East 'Gate' wants to go to see Matsuura-sama, is it necessary to secretly 'touch' and 'touch'?" I think it's true, and don't forget, I heard that he was only twenty years old! ”

After everyone was persuaded by him, the whole Hirado suddenly became lively in secret! All those who wanted to celebrate the East Gate crossed the sea before sunset and ran to the various villages on the Matsuura Peninsula to prepare.

For these, Dongmen' Qing didn't know! He restricts his subordinates very tightly in business, but he doesn't care much about 'private' matters, and yesterday he occasionally heard about the custom of night from his second husband, so he decided to try it the next night, and then asked Li Chengtai and his second husband to arrange a small boat - he didn't regard it as a big thing, and he didn't think that his 'private' behavior would have any impact on the outside world.

Soon after sunset on this day, the five people of Dongmen' Qing, Chi Zhengnan, Jifu, Li Chengtai and Burapa secretly 'crept' out of the city of Hirado, found the small boat they had hidden, and 'rowed' the oars out to sea. ”

The second husband pouted: "I have all the money, why are you doing this at night?" There are more 'women' in Hirado! ”

It turned out that he gambled and lost a 'fine' light, and the crotch of his 'pants' was uncomfortable, and he had no money to prostitute himself, so he remembered to go to the night here, and it happened that Chi Zhengnan and Brapa also 'spent' the money almost, Chi Zhengnan heard that the second husband was going to the night, so he wanted to follow, and Brapa asked about the reason for the night, and when the two explained to him, they were heard by the East 'Gate' Qing, and this was the night's itinerary. The custom of night is very new to the East Gate Festival, but the second husband thinks it is nothing, if he has money to spend in Pingdo, it is much more convenient than running all the way to the night.

Dongmen' Qing frowned and said, "How come you are rich again?" ”

The second husband said: "You gave it yesterday." ”

Dongmen Qing was stunned and said angrily: "Didn't I buy this ship with the money I gave you?" Attaboy! You're corrupt! ”

The second husband muttered and said, "I didn't embezzle, you said that the money left over from the purchase of the boat was given to me!" ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "Even if there is left, how much can be left?" How many jugs of wine can you buy at most, but where is there enough for you to prostitute? ”

"I don't know." The second husband said in a daze: "I went to the tavern to buy a pot of wine to drink, and then there was not much left." As I drank, someone sat across from me and invited me to drink, and then I seemed to be a little drunk, and came out of the tavern and 'touched' my pocket, but the money increased! ”

Dongmen' Qing was stunned, and he had already understood his reasoning, and scolded: "Stinky boy! Did you sell me? ”

The second husband was stunned and said, "Sold? What do you mean? ”

The east 'gate' snapped, slapped him on the head, and said, "Forget it this time, it's not a big deal anyway." But in the future, I can't tell you anything! ”

Soon he arrived on the other side, ordered someone to check the sword first, and saw Chi Zhengnan 'messing' and 'touching' under his crotch, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Chi Zhengnan said: "Check the sword!" ”

Dongmen' Qing scolded with a smile: "I'll let you check the real sword, it's not a metaphor." ”

Chi Zhengnan said: "It's going to the night, not to fight, what are you doing to check the real sword?" ”

The east 'gate' celebrated: "On the shore...... Well, forget it, with our current situation, there are many protection nets, and it should be fine. ”

Only then did he dock and drag the boat aside, Chi Zhengnan was not familiar with this area, and the east 'gate' Qing asked the second husband where to go at night, Li Chengtai suddenly pointed to the front and said: "The chief owner, there seems to be a light there." ”

The crowd approached cautiously, and looked in the grass, only to see that the light was several lanterns, and under the lanterns hung several wooden signs, each with some arrows drawn on them, pointing in one direction, and writing: "XX Village." ”

Dong'mon' Qing Qi praised: "The Japanese are so careful! There are more than just street signs! There are even lanterns, I think I am afraid that passers-by will 'get lost' at night! ”

Chi Zhengnan thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of such a custom in Kyushu for a while. Li Chengtai asked which village Dong 'Men' Qing was going to, and Dong 'Men' Qing saw that there was no village word on one of the cards, only the word "there is 'female'", and said with a smile: "Since this village claims to have 'female', there must be good 'female' children, so let's go there." ”
