Gabriel can't help but complain in his heart, what are these Oriental warriors? Do they have to get tangled up for some meaningless things? Isn't it just a knife? Just save it first. Are you afraid of being stolen? For such a small matter, it's unnecessary to stay here now.
While wiping the sweat on his forehead, the French businessman advised Zhang Heng, while someone on the other side came up to the maid and whispered a few words.
Finally, the maid said, "you can take the rib, but you have to stay."
Zhang Heng knew that this was the biggest concession that the other side could make. Of course, he didn't want this to ruin his trip tonight. He couldn't see the leader, so he nodded his head and agreed to the other side's request.
But Zhang Heng didn't give his knife to the maid. Instead, he put it in the yard and said, "don't touch it. I will take it away when I leave."
The maid has no objection to this, Wen Yan bows again, "welcome to Youji, please allow me to make up for the disrespect."
Without waiting for Zhang Heng to say anything, she took out the sword around her waist and turned to stab her chest.
All this happened so fast that the French businessman didn't even realize what had happened. The tip of the knife had pierced the maid's delicate skin and was about to pierce her heart. However, at this critical moment, it was held up by a scabbard.
"No, I've forgiven you." Zhang Heng holds the rib difference way.
And Gabriel on the other side has been stunned in place! God, what kind of lunatic are these guys? Before persuading Zhang Heng, he also complained about the maid's troubles in his heart, but compared with it, the other party's remedial measures now make him more afraid.
It's just a small mistake. No, it's not even a small mistake. The maid is just performing her duties. Is it necessary to do this? French businessmen shake their heads.
Zhang Heng is very clear that the people in this tea house are not only the warriors, but also the captive dead men of the inverted screen sect.
Because only the dead can be so indifferent to life, not only the lives of others, but also their own lives.
"Follow me, please." Although in the middle of such a small episode, but the landlady still face unchanged, personally in front of the guide.
And Zhang Heng has also taken back the rib difference, as if nothing had happened to follow up, but Gabriel and Leng for a while, just quickly follow up.
The proprietress opened a barrier door. There were already some people sitting there, most of them were warriors, and there were some geisha beside them.
One of them is playing the traditional Japanese musical instrument sanweixian, the other two are dancing, and the rest are pouring wine for the guests.
Seeing the French businessman come in, one of the older warriors gets up to welcome him, and introduces Gabriel's identity to others. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Heng's eyes also scan the people sitting there. The guy who is suspected to be banjiro Nakamura didn't see him, but he ran into an acquaintance by accident.
Shinji Takeuchi.
The latter once quarreled with Yamada at the Xiaoshan Daochang. After Yamada was beheaded, Zhang Heng thought that Takeuchi would come out to avenge his companions, but he didn't expect that this guy claimed not to be his opponent and left quietly. However, it was because of this city government that Zhang Heng remembered him.
After seeing Zhang Heng, Takeuchi's face suddenly changed. It seems that he didn't expect the latter to appear here tonight. However, he finally squeezed out a smile and nodded to Zhang Heng.
"Takeuchi, did you know each other before?" The elder warrior saw the scene in his eyes and said curiously.
"It's a meeting." The smile on Takeuchi's face was a bit reluctant, because what happened in Xiaoshan Daochang was too embarrassing, and he obviously didn't want to elaborate here.
With the introduction of the elder warrior, Zhang Heng also made it clear that the identity of these people in the room was basically the samurai of Changzhou and Samo. However, Zhang Heng didn't see Matsuzawa and Takahashi in them. It was estimated that he was below the level and couldn't attend the banquet tonight.
Zhang Heng didn't forget his job. After taking a seat, he translated Gabriel's questions to others, and then translated Gabriel's answers one by one. However, at the present stage, the two sides are talking about some non nutritive polite words, including Gabriel's impression of Kyoto, the current situation in France, and the situation in Europe, the elderly The samurai apologized to the French businessman, saying that the host would wait a while before he arrived. Gabriel nodded his understanding.
It has to be admitted that at this time, many people in Japan have begun to learn from the West and understand the world. The downfall faction is no longer as hostile to the Westerners as the early Zunwang Huanyi faction. On the contrary, it has begun to compete with the shogunate for the support of the powers. This also makes the shogunate with Tokugawa Qingxi as the leader more and more worried.
But these things have nothing to do with Zhang Heng.
The two sides chatted for a while, and the food was served one after another.
In the Edo era, the only meat that could be eaten in Japan was fish and poultry (even fish, the ruling class paid more attention to fish with less fat, so there was no good to eat at all). The shogunate also issued regulations to this end. According to the regulations, basically all four legged food could not be eaten, and even some people were exiled because they abandoned sick cattle and horses in wasteland Of course, this law is not completely absolute. For example, weak mothers and patients can still be tacitly allowed to eat venison and pork.In addition, it has been proved that no law can stop people from eating meat. Although there are regulations, people all over the country are secretly eating meat. The place where meat is sold is called monster house, and the people who sell meat generally only buy medicine. It is said that shogunate general Tokugawa Qingxi himself also likes eating pork. Of course, as a spiritual idol, the emperor probably can't eat these good things.
Most of the warriors here tonight advocate learning from the west, and there is not much taboo about it. In order to entertain Gabriel, the tea house specially prepared a red leaf pot.
The so-called red leaf is the slang of deer meat. The red leaf pot, also known as deer meat hotpot, is delicious with tofu, meatballs and vegetables. It is very popular in Kyoto. It seems that it is very popular. With the beauty in mind, French businessmen are also very popular.
The elder warrior reached out his hand and said with a smile, "please use it."
Gabriel grabbed the chopsticks clumsily, but before he started, he asked, "don't we have to wait for the host?"
"It doesn't matter. I have to explain that we can start first." The elder warrior said with a smile, "as for the big business, it's not too late to talk about it later."
"In that case, I'm not welcome."
