Matsudaira Motoyasu is a native of Mikawa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he was born here, he is not actually familiar with Okazaki Castle at all. He has been a hostage since he was a child, and he has not stayed in Okazaki Castle for long. So for Okazaki City, he is as unfamiliar as Gao Xianda.

But Tadaji Sakai is different.

As an old minister of the Matsudaira family, he has a different kind of affection for Okazaki Castle. Before accompanying Matsudaira Motoyasu to Sunpu Castle, he had been living in Okazaki Castle, so he naturally had the feeling of revisiting his old place.

After this war, Gao Xianda and Sakai Tadaji have become acquainted. He had some instinctive disgust with the other retainers stationed in Okazaki Castle who constantly flattered him. Although he didn't say anything, he didn't want to get too close to them. So naturally, it was inevitable to entrust Tadaji Sakai as a guide and take him on a sightseeing tour.

After Sakai Tadaji received the order, he naturally led Matsudaira Motoyasu with him when he was a guide, and at the same time introduced the history of Okazaki Castle.

"This is your father's former home."

"This is your mother's residence."

"This is the training ground, when the Matsudaira family was in its heyday......"

Matsudaira Motoyasu seems to have seen the prosperity of Mikawa back then, and felt the humiliation of his father because of his incompetence.

He gently stroked the old city wall with his hand, and there seemed to be ten thousand words in his chest, but he did not say a word. After all, the decline of the Matsudaira family was entirely caused by the Imagawa family, and Gao Xianda was by his side at this time, traveling together.

Honda Tadakatsu followed Matsudaira Motoyasu as a personal bodyguard, never leaving an inch.

Honda Tadakatsu, like Matsudaira Motoyasu, was also a young man and was unfamiliar with Okazaki. But the Hondo family is a wealthy family of Mikawa, and his ancestors have served the Matsudaira family for generations. He is also full of pride in the history of Okazaki Castle. When I heard the excitement, I inevitably let out a sigh and erupted with pride.

Honda Tadashi is really powerful, and he can fight to a draw with the armor Kaede, if it weren't for Kaede Tada's use of strange blood-swapping tricks, I'm afraid he would have died under Honda Tadakatsu's gun. When Honda Tadashi faced ordinary generals, his combat power was completely crushing.

Gao Xianda admired Matsudaira Motoyasu's castle government very much, and he valued his two outstanding retainers even more. With such a person as support, it is difficult for the Matsudaira family not to rise.

Sakai Tadaji also paid more attention to the wording. Try not to offend Gao Xianda, after all, the Matsudaira family is still a subordinate of the Imagawa family, and the Imagawa family is now very strong. If you offend Gao Xianda, you may really be exterminated.

But Kosenda was not interested in this kind of historical anecdote, nor did he care if Sakai's description offended him. He was more interested in what Okazaki had to eat. After a few days of fierce fighting, Gao Xianda was physically and mentally exhausted, and what he hoped for most was a full meal.

So he stopped Sakai Tadaji and said, "That's all for today, it's not too early, do you have anything to eat here in Sanhe?" My stomach growled. ”

After learning about Kosenda's needs, Tadaji Sakai said, "My lord, if you want to experience the food of Mikawa, I know a good place. It's just in the castle town of Okazaki. I'm afraid it's not that convenient. ”

Gao Xianda was not afraid of any danger, so he said: "What's inconvenient." We can go in casual clothes. The town is full of civilians, and who knows who we are? ”

Not to mention Gao Xianda, even Honda Tadashi is quite yearning for food, and he has not eaten a good meal in these days of war.

Sakai Tadaji naturally had no reason to object, so the group of four people slipped out of the city and came to Okazaki Town.

The style of Okazaki Town is different from that of quaint Okazaki Castle. As a large city, the castle town is also densely populated. Although it was almost dark, the people in the bazaar were still making their final purchases. The head is sensational, so it's not lively.

Okazaki is also a castle town near the sea, so the fishing and salt industries are relatively developed. Looking at the degree of prosperity, it is not much worse than Junfu.

Gao Xianda exclaimed and said, "It's so prosperous here." ”

Sakai Tadaji said, "Although Lord Hirotada was not good at fighting, he valued the lives of the people very much, and allowed the townspeople to trade freely, and did not collect heavy taxes, so the people were willing to do business. ”

Gao Xianda nodded.

Tadaji Sakai took Gao Xianda around the market. When I saw fresh seafood, I bought some back.

Gao Xianda said to him: "We have a lot of people, we must buy more." ”

Tadaji Sakai said: "Don't worry, my lord, these are just accessories, and there will be main dishes when the time comes." ”

Although he felt that it was enough, he finally followed Gao Xianda's instructions and bought more.

Sakai Tadaji was quite familiar with the terrain, so he led his group to find a place that looked like an ordinary house and got in.

There is no plaque here, but as soon as you enter, it suddenly opens up.

Seeing someone coming in, the shopkeeper naturally greeted him, and when he saw that it was Sakai Tadaji, he said, "It's Sakai-sama, you haven't been here for a few years!" ”

"Of course." Sakai Tadaji smiled, "The last time I visited, Lord Hirotada was still alive. ”

He didn't do much to say hellos, nor did he introduce Gao Xianda and others, but just asked the store to find a room with good soundproofing, and said, "Are there any good things?" ”

"You said hello and left you a big chunk." The shopkeeper said, "It should be enough for four people." ”

"Then hurry up and do it." Sakai Tadaji said mysteriously.

Tadaji Sakai is quite familiar with this place. After ordering a "good thing", the store went to the back of the kitchen to get busy, and Sakai Tadaji found a frying pan by himself, added water, put it on the fire, and then washed the various seafood he bought, and boiled some of it in water, and some of it was grilled directly on the fire with barbed wire.

Roasted over the fire, it turned out to be a large scallop. The fat shell pillars slowly roasted on the fire, making a sizzling sound. After roasting for a while, I saw that the shell pillar had shrunk slightly, so Sakai Tadaji took one down, sprinkled it with a little refined salt, and handed it to Gao Xianda and said, "My lord, please try my craft." ”

Gao Xianda took it, and a faint fragrance of seafood wafted up, Gao Xianda blew lightly, and put the fat shell pillar into his mouth.

Fragrant, smooth, soft, tender and elastic, a fresh fragrance explodes in the taste buds. Gosenda's teeth gently cut through the flesh, which returned a soft and elastic texture.

After Gao Xianda swallowed all the meat and the juice in it, a sweet smell slowly spread in his mouth.

"Delicious!" Gao Xianda's eyes widened by three points, "Sakai-sama, your craftsmanship is amazing!" ”
