Chapter 36 The delicacy of sea urchin rice and horse mackerel
Walking in the streets of Pingdo, it feels like walking in a small town in the south of the Central Plains, and soon the bustling streets will be gone, Zhu Houzhao knows, after all, the scale of this place is much smaller than that of the towns in the Central Plains.
Led by Yamamoto, they came to Yamamoto's reception.
This is a delicate yard, Zhu Houzhao saw that the house is also low, but there are some flowers and trees planted in the yard, and there are beautiful flowers blooming at the moment.
"Those flowers are cherry blossoms." Mingzi said to Zhu Houzhao,
"If I have the chance, I'll take you to Seiryoji Temple in Kyoto to see the cherry blossoms, and the cherry blossoms there are beautiful." Mingzi whispered to Zhu Houzhao,
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Zhu Houzhao smiled,
At this time, Yamamoto said to their group, "Miss Akiko, please, Mr. Dongfang, please." ”
They came to a parlor, and then they sat down in turn, kneeling, according to the seats arranged by their hosts, to be precise.
Zhu Houzhao thought that the customs of Dongying were still so ancient and elegant, and I remember that the book said that we Han people used to kneel on the ground and eat and chat with guests.
Now we're sitting a lot of the time, and they're still kneeling like this.
At this time, Yamamoto Daimyo spoke: "The distinguished guest came to the door, it is really a bright wall, Miss Akiko is going to Dongtu, it is really thrilling, only the descendants of the general can do such courage, come, I will first give Mingzi a cup." ”
"The adult has won the award, I originally just went for fun, I went, and I thought it was fun at first, but then a lot of experiences made me not very happy, and I had some ideas, if I told the adult, the adult should not be angry." Akiko said,
"Miss Akiko, I won't be angry." Yamamoto said with a smile on his face,
"Okay, I just said, originally I thought that our people went to the Central Plains just to do business, but I didn't expect that the business they did was so bloody and cruel, what I saw was not buying and selling, but killing, robbing and ruining women, which really surprised me." Akiko said,
"Oh, that's the case, Miss Akiko, is it true, I don't know, is it really what you said." At this time, Yamamoto's eyes widened, and he looked innocent, so he felt that he had never known these things,
Zhu Houzhao felt very funny when he saw Yamamoto like this, according to his own clues, Yamamoto played a great role in this, and he also got those bloody wealth, and he was also providing a steady stream of personnel support to the front at the same time.
Recruit ronin, wandering samurai, threaten and lure landless peasants, abduct normal townspeople, in short, the team of Japanese from Hirado, the big boss behind the scenes is Yamamoto,
But in front of him, this Yamamoto is indeed very innocent, and Akiko looks a little convinced,
"Yamamoto-sama, does it really have nothing to do with you?" Akiko said,
"It doesn't matter, these people are simply lawless, although it is not the people under my rule who are killed, and the people who are robbed are not the market under my rule, but it is inhumane to kill and rob women, after all, it is inhumane, and I will not allow such a situation to happen." Yamamoto said,
"Then how is Lord Yamamoto going to take measures to prevent them from doing this, this thing is not good for our image of Dongying, people call them Wako, I am afraid that all the Central Plains people will call us this in the future." Akiko said,
"Yes, people have no long-term thinking, they must have close thoughts, this matter must be handled well, otherwise it will really become what Miss Mingzi said, although I Dongying is not a great place in the Central Plains, but it is also elegant and extraordinary, no, we can't be synonymous with demons." Yamamoto said,
"Okay, I believe in Lord Yamamoto, and I look forward to Lord Yamamoto taking measures to stop those people in your jurisdiction from going to Dongtu to rob and kill people, thank you." Akiko said,
"Miss Akiko is polite, but I'm also doing my best, you think, although my Hirado office is not big, but the people are difficult to govern, some people go to sea in the name of going to sea to fish, I really can't supervise this little soldier, I can only try to intimidate them not to go, I really want to go, to be honest, I can't do anything, unless they kill people on Hirado Street, I can arrest them immediately, because I can see it, they quietly go to Dongtu together, I am really difficult to monitor, besides, I have also heard about the entire Dongying, There are ronin samurai everywhere ganging up to go to the Central Plains, they are controlled by interests, and there are so many people, to be honest, not any daimyo can have the final say. Yamamoto said,
"Ah, my father said it wouldn't count." Akiko asked,
"Miss Mingzi, you have to ask your father about this." Yamamoto said with a smile,
Zhu Hou looked at it, and always felt that the smile was a treacherous smile,
He suddenly remembered that some of his ministers, maybe those big officials above the court, because they were used to going to the court, paid quite good attention to their images, they were all sanctimonious, and they all spoke like righteousness.
But the magistrates below, especially the smaller the place, some people's images are estimated to be like this,
It seems that no matter where it is, it is the same, Zhu Hou looked at Yamamoto and thought,
At this time, Yamamoto said, "Come on, Miss Akiko, last time you came in a hurry, and you didn't have a good taste of my food in Hirado, this time I have made special arrangements, Miss Akiko, Mr. Dongfang, please taste it." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yamamoto." Zhu Houzhao said,
"This is our famous horse mackerel, this is the sword of Tsuki, this is the sea urchin rice, these are our long-term famous specialties, I specially asked the chef to choose the freshest ingredients to make it, everyone please." Yamamoto said,
"It's so delicious." Akiko took a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, chewed it and ate it, and said,
"Yes, the guests say that these dishes are simply delicious." Yamamoto smiled proudly,
"It's delicious, this sea urchin rice is very distinctive, it's really delicious, thank you Yamamoto-sama." After Zhu Houzhao tasted the sea urchin rice, he also said with admiration,
"Haha, it's rare for guests to come from the Central Plains, and they can afford to look down on the food of our wild land, we can't compare with the Central Plains here, the Central Plains is a big land, I heard that your cuisine alone is the eight major cuisines, if you talk about the cuisine of various places, it is countless, if I go to the Central Plains one day, then I have to eat all the food in the world." Yamamoto said,
Zhu Houzhao was happy in his heart, this Yamamoto turned out to be a foodie, no wonder he was so fat,
"Alas, I don't know when I will be able to go to the Central Plains." Yamamoto said,
"Mr. Yamamoto, I remember that in the history of Toei, there has always been a deep relationship with the Central Plains, but it is a pity that even in contemporary times, the two sides do not get along, which is really a pity." Zhu Houzhao said,
