On the morning of the third day, I was making my own bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles, my favorite Lanzhou beef noodles in my previous life, with the soup stock I had boiled, when the Nine Ghosts Masataka suddenly came to report and told me that two guests had come to visit me.

I asked who it was, and he told me that the younger one was called Ishida Mitsunari, but the older one didn't speak.

I raised an eyebrow and oh, Ishida Mitsunari? I didn't expect them to be alert so quickly? So I smiled slightly and told the nine ghosts to ask them to wait in the hall, and I will come in a while.

So I continued to pull my face unhurriedly. Lanzhou beef noodles pay attention to "the soup mirror is clear, the meat is fragrant, and the noodles are fine", and there is "one clear, two white, three red, four green and five yellow", that is: one clear, the soup is clear; two white, radish white; three red, chili oil red; four green, coriander, garlic seedling green; Five yellows, noodles yellow bright!

At this time, Dongying couldn't buy coriander, so I asked people to find a plant called coriander on the spot instead, and the taste was similar. I tasted the pot of soup boiling in front of me, but in my heart I was boiling Ishida Mitsunari this person!

What are they here for? Negotiation? Peace? Test? Threat? How much does Hideyoshi Hashiba know? What does he want?

I tasted the soup in my mouth, but I thought about all kinds of possibilities in my heart. When I thought about it clearly, the noodles in my hand had been pulled into two fine, and I went into the pot, and I came and went, but it was already cooked.

I summoned Qinglian and Yuhe, filled three bowls of beef noodles, and brought them to the front hall. When I stepped inside, Maeda and Ishida were sitting at the table. When they saw me come in, they bowed slightly and saluted me.

I immediately knelt down, saluted them, and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be nice to have friends from afar?" I wonder why you two are here? Let's try the craftsmanship first! ”

Saying that, waving his hand slightly, Qinglian and Yuhe came in and put a bowl of beef noodles for the three of us. He put down the small pot with balsamic vinegar and chili oil, and retreated.

Ishida Mitsunari bowed to me and said with a slight smile: "Thank you Commander Sun for your hospitality!" My name is Ishida Sansei, this is my Shangguan Maeda Xuanyi, we are both from the Yuchai army, and I am here to visit Commander Sun. Sorry for the interruption! ”

I laughed and said, "Oh! It turned out to be Hideyoshi-sama's cadre! I'm the Sun Qilan you're looking for, but I'm so lazy! ”

The two hurriedly thanked: "How dare you? Thank you for your hospitality! ”

I smiled slightly, picked up the bowl and said, "The thickness of this noodle is called two thin, and it is the favorite of the men in the main production area of this noodle." If it's a woman, I like to have more hairs! As he spoke, he picked up the bowl, picked up a large chopstick noodle, and bit it down hard. I felt a little light when I ate it, so I added some balsamic vinegar and chili oil. Eat a few bites of noodles, drink a mouthful of soup, and eat with relish.

Maeda Genyi and Ishida Mitsunari both drank some gruel in the morning and ate a little dry food, just when they said that they were not hungry or full, they smelled this noodle so fragrant, so they started honestly and unceremoniously. They followed my example, added some vinegar and chili peppers to the noodles, ate the noodles, drank the soup, ate the noodles, and drank the soup!

In Dongying, when you go to someone else's house to eat noodles, you have to suck out the sound, and there is no one left, and it is best to drink the soup even after drinking! There is a layer of butter floating on the beef noodles under me, and the heat is all wrapped underneath, even if you eat the noodles first and then drink the soup, you have to blow and drink it slowly, these two people come up and drink the soup, isn't it hot enough?

To be honest, it hurts when I look at it, but it's hard to remind. Fortunately, the two of them found that it was not hot, looked at me, found the trick, and began to concentrate on eating noodles first, and finally took the bowl and drank the whole bowl of beef soup!

"Ahh After the two finished eating, they sighed at the same time, exclaiming: "There is such a delicacy in the world? ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment!" Thank you very much for not disliking the rude hospitality! ”

The two bowed together and said, "Thank you for your hospitality!" The food from the Celestial Empire lives up to its name! ”

I laughed and said, "It's not a secret! I'm preparing to open a beef noodle restaurant here in Hakata! It can be regarded as promoting the local complex! ”

Maeda said with a smile: "Your chamber of commerce also trades in Sakai Port, so why don't you open one there too?" ”

I smiled and said, "Rare things are expensive!" This side is all handmade, not a professional, can't make a fragrance, but smashed the signboard! I'm only opening this one at the moment, and it's available in limited quantities every day, while supplies last! ”

Ishida Mitsunari smiled: "Your Excellency is really shrewd! In this kind of marketing, I am afraid that everyone will line up for this bowl of noodles, and those who can eat it will never forget its taste, but those who can't think about it will inadvertently be promoted again! Commander Sun is worthy of a great talent! ”

I laughed and said, "Where is the talent?" It's just because I'm lazy that I want to do so much every day! ”

Ishida Sancheng showed a smile that you understand, and said loudly: "Sun Xiang is now far away from the Ming Dynasty, but he is still heroic, free to retract, and admires him!" ”

I smiled and said, "That's a big win!" It's just a drifter in a foreign land, so what's there to admire? It's two! ”

I pointed at Maeda Genyi and said, "Your Excellency Maeda is a talented person in internal affairs, and he is very admired in the name of the world!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Ishida Sancheng and said with a smile: "As for Ishida, you will become a pillar of talent in the future, and you are the only one who has a waist jade!" I have to rely on the two of you more! ”

These two sentences not only point out the details of what I know about you, but also express their friendly attitude, even if it is friendly on the face, it also makes the two of them a little confused.

Ishida Sancheng secretly said in his heart: I can't imagine that this Sun Qilan is so polite? Then he is opposed to our army everywhere but for that? Or is our intelligence wrong, and it wasn't actually him who did the trick out of it? Let's try it first!

So Ishida Mitsunari smiled again: "Commander Sun has made a lot of awards!" He is only a sesame official, how can he compare with the great talent of Commander Sun? Your great achievements, even if you are far away, we are like thunder! ”

But I played Tai Chi and said: "Heroes don't mention the courage of the year!" Believe me, your future achievements will definitely not be under me! ”

Ishida Mitsunari is a young man, a capable young man, a capable young man with no actual performance, a young man who has the ability but no actual performance, and is looked down upon by the bigwigs in the family.

So when Ishida Mitsunari spoke again, he already had the intention of soliciting: "Commander Sun is like this!" We came this time on the orders of Mamoru Chikuzen, and we have come to make friends with you! Recently, something has happened in our army territory that is not very pleasant, and Chikuzen Mamoru means that you can discuss any questions, and he still respects you very much! It would be great if both parties could resolve the conflict and become friends! ”

I replied with a smile, "Thank you Chikuzen-sama for lifting up!" It's just that since I'm far away from my homeland, I don't want to be constrained anymore, and I still do everything spontaneously! What's more, there are some things that can not be solved with respect, nor can they be bought and sold at a price! ”

Maeda Xuanyi interjected: "Your Excellency, is it for the tragedy of Lord Lingzun?" ”

I was silent, took the tea handed over by Qinglian, and took a sip.

Ishida Mitsunari glanced at me, thanked me for the tea, and then continued: "The Kumano Navy and our lord are actually only in an employment relationship, and we don't really have any direct leadership!" It is rumored by the outside world that it is so biased! ”

This sentence is to whitewash Yushiba Hideyoshi. I remained silent and continued to drink my tea. Anyway, the reason is made up, and it's useless to explain it! Ha ha!

Maeda was a little angry. He is forty-three years old this year, and he is one of the five bigwigs of the Yuchai family, and in the face of me, a young man who is less than twenty years old, he is polite everywhere, and he looks at his face from time to time, and he is suddenly a little impatient.

So he said in a rather cold tone: "Sun Xiang, although you are a third-grade member in the Ming Dynasty, you hold military power!" At this time, you have been exiled overseas and become a businessman, do you really want to go against the officials? ”

To put it bluntly, Ishida Mitsunari finished singing with a red face, and Maeda Genyi followed with a white face. Seeing that it doesn't work to say good things, it's already starting to threaten me.

I smiled and held out three fingers to Genyi Maeda. Retracting the first finger, he smiled and said, "First, who does your Excellency mean by official?" If you mean His Excellency Hideyoshi, I remember that Hideyoshi was not the emperor, right? Can he represent the official family? ”

Maeda Genyi was choked enough, no matter how good Yushiba Hideyoshi is, he is just a big name in one place, even if he finally becomes Taizheng Guan Bai, he is just the prime minister of the cabinet, and he is not even a royal family, so how can he represent the official family? If he says yes, then he is guilty of transgression; But if not, the atmosphere has been blown out just now! So I can only keep my mouth shut.

I retracted my second finger and smiled, "I'm just a businessman, but I'm not at the mercy of others. If you don't believe it, do you want to replicate the situation in the south of your territory to the western coast and do it again? ”

This sentence is a naked threat! Maeda Xuanyi's face changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "You ......"

Ishida Mitsunari wanted to speak, but I interrupted, "Third! I just listened to the sound of "brushing", and the imitation boy in my hand had already reached Maeda Xuanyi's throat! Under the slight force on his hand, there was already a slight bleeding line on Maeda Xuanyi's neck! He was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and he didn't even dare to beg for mercy!

I sneered: "As for this third, you are now under the roof, and I am not in the sphere of influence of his Yushiba Hideyoshi, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?" I want your life, it's like killing a chicken, what can he do to me? ”

Ishida Mitsunari explained aloud: "Commander Sun! Chikuzen-sama didn't mean that, it was Maeda-sama who misunderstood! ”

Hearing this, I let out an "oh" sound, and then "brushed" to retract the imitation boy cut, and asked with a smile: "What is the misunderstanding method?" ”

Ishida Mitsunari said: "What Hideyoshi-sama means is that if you can give up your previous suspicions, he is willing to compensate for the losses of your family, and I hope that we can sincerely cooperate and benefit together in the future!" ”

I shook my head and smiled: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared!" Sancheng, if it were you, could you give up your blood feud for money? ”

Ishida Mitsunari is a real person, gritted his teeth and said, "That must not be!" ”

I nodded and smiled, "Then why did you come to persuade me?" ”

Ishida Mitsunari said sincerely: "Looking at today's world, it is none other than Chikuzen Mamoru who can be expected to unify the world!" I persuade Your Excellency in order to leave a good karma for Your Excellency! ”

I laughed and said, "Ishida, just say this to you, do you dare to make a bet with me?" ”

Ishida Mitsunari was surprised: "What bet? ”

I smiled and said, "Go back and tell your father-in-law, I'll make a bet with him." After the beginning of spring next year, he and Shibata Katsuya will have a battle! Naturally, I will help the Shibata clan. If Hideyoshi wins, I will no longer be troubled by you from now on, and I will even be able to help you with all my might! If I lose......"

Ishida Mitsunari said: "If Your Excellency loses, what should I do?" ”

I smiled and said, "If I lose, I'll open a beef noodle restaurant in Azuchi Castle, and I'll ask you to come and patronize a bowl of noodles every day!" "Actually, what I mean is that the winner is decided in one battle, and then there is no longer entanglement.

Ishida Mitsunari stood up and said, "If that's the case, I think the lord must be willing to gamble with Your Excellency!" That's it! ”

I also stood up and said, "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”

Only Maeda Genyi, who didn't know why, was stunned and silent on the side.
