Chapter 29 Tofu (1)
Okina Main-Shiji stayed.
With Bolanning's versatile social skills, the girl was convinced in just a few days and was attracted to her as a confidant. Her name changed from Miss Nan to a more intimate Miss Nan.
On the contrary, ancient charity wine was not treated so well.
Chief Okina Okina was righteous and believed that everything in the world had laws. Even if those bandits deserved it, they should be executed according to law. In her opinion, Gu Yijiu abused private acts, not only was it very wrong, but it was also extremely vicious. In order to prevent him from committing another crime, he stared at him like a thief, with his eyes fierce, like a sharp blade, as if he was about to poke two holes on Gu Yijiu.
Polanning quipped to Gu Yijiu in private and said, "What a pity, it seems that you can't eat sugar coating."
"If you don't eat, don't eat. I really don't know why I provoked that girl. Maybe it's because of the disagreement." Gu Yijiu was just a joke before. Since General Okita treated him coldly, he wouldn't have to flatter him with a shameless face. It would be like to maintain a relationship of purifying water without damaging the river.
Here, "failed to love" and in order to make up for the trauma, Gu Yijiu planned to retrieve it from another place.
Don't forget that he was invited to eat someone else's wife's tofu.
He wanted to go out, and Poranning also wanted to follow him. When Poranning went out, Okina, the righteous girl, naturally followed.
The three of them went to the suburbs of the city together.
On the way, I passed a market, and there were constant hawkers selling, which was very lively.
Polanning smiled and said, "Even if the world is not good, people are always striving to pursue happiness. If they can bring smiles to people, these products are also very happy."
Gu Yijiu said: "Can you tell whether the product is happy or not?"
Polanning said proudly: "Of course, don't underestimate the businessman's daughter."
Okita Headmaster suddenly spoke: "This scene depends entirely on the business strategy of Mae Nanjie, and the prosperity of Edo Castle is no less than that of Kyoto."
Polanning shook his head: "My sister praised it. My sister also begged for the business strategy, so she obtained it from a paradise."
Chief Okina Okina was surprised: "My sister Qiannan is already a famous imperial merchant in the world. Do you still need to ask someone for advice? I wonder who that expert is?"
Polanning smiled slightly and pointed at a hawker with a vendor to bargain for the ancient charity wine: "It's far away, it's near."
"He?" Chief Okina opened his red lips slightly, his face full of incredible feelings.
Gu Yijiu came back with five saury fish and said to Polanning: "I bought some fish as gifts for home visits, and you paid for the money."
Polanning said dissatisfiedly: "You actually ask a woman to pay when you go out. Are you still a man?"
Gu Yijiu said with a shameless face: "What's the difference between us? At worst, I can buy some things to give you to you in the future. Pay money quickly, don't let the stall owner wait in a hurry."
Bolanning blushed and stomped her feet and said angrily: "Who doesn't distinguish you from you? Don't talk nonsense, ruin my innocence."
Gu Yijiu said, "You go and pay, I will naturally not say it again."
"Despicable." Polanning angrily said, and had no choice but to take out his wallet and pay.
Gu Yijiu was very proud. When she turned her head, she saw General Okita's mouth slightly open and staring at him without blinking.
He was confused by the sight and said subconsciously: "Hey, saliva is flowing out."
Chief Okina Okina was shocked and hurriedly wiped it. He could touch it with his hands, but the corners of his delicate mouth were clean, and he realized that he had been cheated.
Her face turned red at first, then white. She was serious and she was extremely strict in her daily life. Although the boys in the group loved her beauty, she was obedient to her. They said things with fear, let alone jokes. Today, she was joking by ancient charity wine, which was the first time she had ever experienced in her life.
Subconsciously pressing the hilt of the sword, he remembered that the other party was not his subordinate, so he could only snort coldly to express his strong condemnation and walked forward with his sleeves.
When Bolanning came back from paying the bill, he asked curiously: "How did you provoke others?"
Gu Yijiu shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "Who knows, but women, there are always a few days every month, Guli is weird."
Bolanning was stunned and then reacted, spat, "Ignorance." Then he ran a few steps to catch up with the Chief Executive, and walked with her arms.
The home of the coachman's head is in the castle town, which is theoretically considered outside the castle. However, since Edo Castle has been expanded outward in the past two years, some of it is already located in the castle.
At this time, there are three types of residences, namely the best Yashiki, the medium-sized Machiya, and the inferior long house.
Yashiki is the residence of high-ranking officials and nobles. It is a large independent courtyard. The higher the status, the closer it is to the castle. Edo Castle is the base camp of the shogunate, and the castle is also replaced by the Tensou Pavilion. The house of the Maemini family is Yashiki, which is not too close to the Tensou Pavilion, but it is not far away. It is just a matter of course.
The Chrono family is the residence of merchants and handicraftsmen. It is mostly rectangular in shape. The rooms on the street are shops, the rooms on the back are for living, and the innermost are warehouses and other ancillary buildings. Since the land price at this time is calculated by width, the Chrono family is often very narrow, but the depth is extremely long. Some are only four or five meters wide, but the length reaches an astonishing thirty or forty meters.
Long houses are mostly lived by poor workers and farmers, which can be understood as large slums. Each household is only more than ten square meters and is separated by thin earth walls. Not only is the sound insulation effect poor, but the fragrance of food will even be transmitted. Eighty percent of people live here.
Now the three of them dressed in beautiful clothes walked into a long house, which not only attracted many residents to peek from behind the door, but the coachman and his wife were even more frightened and trembled, and greeted them at the door with a big bow.
Gu Yijiu stepped forward and pulled the coachman's headman up and said, "Why is Brother Fujiwara so disgusted? Could it be that he doesn't welcome me?"
Fujiwara stuttered: "Welcome, of course. Adults can come, turtles are born in turtles!"
Gu Yijiu couldn't help but smile and said, "What kind of turtle is born with turtle? It's turtle that turtle is born with turtle, right?"
Fujiwara's face was red and his ears were red, and he nodded quickly: "Yes, Shenghui, it is Shenghui!"
Gu Yijiu stopped talking and handed out the fish: "Hey, a gift to come."
Fujiwara was shocked and wanted to kneel down to thank him again, but was stopped by Gu Yijiu. He used a color on Polanning. The girl understood it and went up to help Fujiwara's wife up, and the few people entered the house.
The house is small, but it is complete. At the door is the earthen part of the kitchen, with a basin and a water bottle next to it. There is a wooden floor about three feet wide, with a brazier on one end, and can store items below. For this reason, a cover is specially made, with a rope hanging on it. Just pull it gently, the windows on the roof can be expanded into ventilation and smoke exhaust outlets. Not only does the space be used to the extreme, but it is also unique and reflects the extraordinary wisdom of the working people.
Although the daily necessities in the house are simple, they are all spotless. It can be seen that the Fujiwara and his wife have poured unparalleled enthusiasm and expectations for this small home.
As Polanning said before, even if the world is not good, people are always pursuing happiness.
Fujiwara's wife Fujiwara is very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is wearing a simple narrow-sleeved kimono, a towel tied around her head, and wrapped the child with a thick cloth to tie it on her back. She patted and teased her, while preparing tea and meals for guests. Although she was one-handed, she was very skilled and looked like a good person who was diligent in housework.
Gu Yijiu asked, "Are the child a man or a woman?"
Fujiwara smiled honestly and said, "I am a boy for your blessing."
Bolanning's shoulders trembled and laughed non-stop. Gu Yijiu was also a black thread and hurriedly said, "Don't be polite about this. Your wife has no relationship with me for giving birth to a boy or a girl."
The coachman's head also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he touched his head and smiled foolishly. Fujiwara came to serve tea and gave him a blank look, which made the smirk suddenly turn into a bitter smile.
The question of Gu Yijiu asked: "I heard that my wife is good at making tofu, but I wonder if we have a good taste today?"
Fujiwara nodded and said softly: "If you don't dislike some of the superficial skills, you should offer them."
She walked to the kitchen in small steps, took out a piece of white tofu from the water tank and placed it on the table, rolled up her sleeves, used a bamboo piece to cross a few times, then cut it into several small pieces, put it in a bowl and served it.
Chief Okina thanked him without thinking too much. He ate it clean after turning the bottom of the bowl. He only felt that the tofu was smooth and very delicious.
