While everyone was talking in the audience, Qingdeng on the court was also sighing secretly.

As the actual belligerent, that is, the person involved, he knew better than anyone else that the victory he had just won was quite a coincidence.

In terms of sword skills and physical abilities, he and Oishi Jin are only on par.

He defeated the opponent by virtue of his superior physical strength...or rather by virtue of his age which was in the bonus period.

If Oishi Jin is the same age as him...then the battle between the two of them will definitely be an unprecedented fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

Of course, there is no benefit in talking about this after the fact.

"It would be great if this was the case", "If only that was the case"... these rhetoric are just excuses after all.

Defeat is defeat. In the face of the fact called "defeat", any rhetoric is pale and powerless.

Judging from Oishi Jin's magnanimous expression at this time, he, like Chiba Nobuyoshi, is not the kind of person who would use "advanced age" to excuse his defeat.

Oishi Jin is regarded as the third master of the martial arts institute.

Now, their third leader has been defeated.

The only opponents before Qingdeng...are the second master and the first master at the front!

Qingdeng turned around, raised his head, raised his gaze, and looked directly at the two elders on the main seat.

"Nioh, don't be anxious."

Yitian Qingyin smiled slightly, with a kind expression.

"You must be tired now by taking turns fighting Oishi-kun and others without stopping, right?"

Otani Seiichiro smiled and answered:

"Tachibana-kun, let's take a little rest."

Having said this, Otani Seiichiro paused for a moment, then changed into a meaningful tone and continued:

"If you don't maintain your best condition...you won't be able to defeat the 'Sword Master'."

…

…

Ainoto, who acted vigorously and resolutely, naturally wanted to start the fight as soon as possible and quickly decide the winner with Seiichiro Tanani and Kiyone Soda.

However, he is not the kind of person who can't figure it out clearly.

After enduring the battles of Oishi Susumu, Itami Hideaki, Imai Noburo and other masters, even though he has countless talents, he can't help but feel physically exhausted.

Because of the blessing of "Shen Brain + 9", he is still full of energy.

But the bones and muscles all over his body have really been wailing since just now.

Although he wanted to quickly copy the talents of Otani Seiichiro and Soda Kiyone, but unless absolutely necessary, he just wanted to welcome the arrival of System Sound as a winner.

So, he accepted the second elder's suggestion and took a short break.

It happened to be noon at this moment - "Tachibana-kun, let's have lunch together." - the male Tan Seiichiro said.

This kind of invitation is reasonable and reasonable, and at the same time does not disturb the other party too much. Qingdeng has no reason to refuse.

In this way, he tasted the cuisine of Bankyo Wushuo.

Lectures on martial arts are worthy of being a key support project of the shogunate.

Not only are the water wells, training ground and other infrastructure almost perfect, but even the daily diet can satisfy a large number of civilians, middle and lower-level samurai.

The staple food is crystal clear rice, which is piled into a small mountain in a palm-sized rice bowl, with spikes sticking out.

The meal is a sumptuous meal of four dishes and one soup.

The aromatic miso soup, the fried saury that's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the oily fried tofu, the crispy pickled radish... What surprised Ayoto the most was that there was pork in the side dishes of the military school.

.

"Come on, Mr. Ju, try our peonies. The taste will never disappoint you."

Seiichiro Tanani enthusiastically made a "please" gesture towards the pork on the Aoto table.

Although up to now, various forces in Japan are still debating whether to establish the country or not, but in any case, the introduction of Western culture and customs into Japan is ultimately unstoppable.

The reason why the ancient Japanese did not eat four-legged livestock was not because they did not like meat.

Most humans prefer eating meat to vegetables - this is human nature.

Influenced by Buddhism and Shintoism, Japanese officials believe that four-legged livestock are unclean, so four-legged animals such as pigs, cows, and deer are prohibited. Chickens, ducks, goose, and fish are not included in the ban.

But the Japanese are not stupid. They have always known that meat is delicious, and they also know that eating meat can strengthen the body.

Therefore, meat is a very important health product in the prescriptions of Japanese doctors.

In this way, meat has survived tenaciously in medicine stores under the name of "supplements" and "health products".

People who love to eat meat often sell and eat meat secretly under the pretext of "buying supplements to nourish the body."

In order to avoid taboos, various types of meat have been given various nicknames, and they have been widely spread among the people.

Pork is called "peony", horse meat is called "sakura", and venison is called "red leaves".

Therefore, the phrase "Have a taste of our peonies" by Otani Seiichiro means "Have a taste of our pork."

As the west wind spreads eastward, more and more Japanese people begin to understand, come into contact with, and taste meat.

Under this promotion, the "meat culture", which already had a certain public opinion foundation, has made great progress.

In areas with more exchanges with the West, such as Nagasaki and Yokohama, people there are even proficient in cutting steaks with knives and forks.

At first, everyone in the trial clinic did not eat meat.

Firstly, everyone is deeply influenced by the idea that "four-legged animals are unclean".

Secondly, meat is so expensive that even high-ranking samurai cannot eat meat every day.

After the imperial examination hall gradually became famous and the economic situation gradually improved, Qingdeng began to vigorously promote "meat culture".

The process was extremely tortuous and arduous, but fortunately the final result was gratifying.

Under Qingdeng's careful "training", the guys in the trial health hall are now finally able to accept and enjoy the joy of eating meat.

To this day, they eat meat two to three times a week.

The changes brought about by improving your diet are quite intuitive.

Compared with before, everyone's physiques have become much stronger - except for the general secretary.

Obviously, Souji eats meat as often as anyone else, but her body has never changed and she has always been short and small.

Maybe this is a side effect of body functions that are different from ordinary people.

——When I have stable financial resources in the future, I will definitely build a livestock farm specifically to serve my Shinsengumi, so that my sergeants can have meat to eat every day!

Qingdeng silently made up his mind.

In this era where just providing white rice can make middle- and lower-level samurai and civilians happy and grateful, they can eat meat stably every day... Qingdeng can't imagine sticking to this method for a year...

No! In half a year, how high will the Shinsengumi's combat effectiveness be?

…

…

At this moment——

Edo, the settlement of Westerners——

Anthony clasped his hands behind his back and faced the fireplace in front of him, with a solemn expression and a look of something deeply preoccupied.

At this time, rapid footsteps came from the direction of the corridor.

"master."

Their maid, Leroy, hurriedly walked behind Anthony.

She looked panicked, as if she had encountered something terrible.

"Leroy, how are you?"

Anthony asked.

"master……"

Leroy swallowed and tried to calm down.

"You're right...someone is indeed watching us."

After hearing this, Anthony closed his eyes with a pale face, raised his head, and sighed:

"They...are they really chasing after us...We have already escaped from the continent, why don't they let us go..."
