22 Episode XXI - In the Feast Seat

side/Kuyuan Ichima

"Hmm. This is hilarious."

"This is how we all surround the table in Ming and Nanban."

The first thing Shinsu ate was a table, after all. It must be unusual to have a table in this age of eating dinner at your meal.

"Is this it? Why don't we just paint it with paint or something?

"Right. I originally planned to use it at home alone, so I continued to use it."

"Interesting. Let me make one"

As it stands, it's just a simple thing with wood as it is on the table, so it doesn't feel a bit fancy.

Shinsu quickly decided to make one lacquered table. I don't know if I can sell it in this day and age, but I think the edge of my eyes is amazing.

"Thank you for waiting."

It was already dusk outside and the room was lit with a line of lights. I've got more lanterns, but they're a little dim, aren't they? People in this day and age don't seem to care.

When Elles brought the food, he saw how surprised the people Shin-soo followed.

Speaking of which, I wonder what you've never seen a foreigner before. Including Shinsu. It's a foreign-style android, to be exact.

"There will also be your share. Let's do it in the Nanban fashion, as usual. Eat with me."

"Thank you"

Carrying the food in a slightly strange atmosphere, Elles just tried to back off because Shinsu was there.

But I'm truly surprised that Nobunaga called out to eat with us. Shinsu and the others also showed surprise, but did not view it as a problem thanks to Shinsu's words: Nanban fluency.

Of course, I didn't tell you it was a Nanban fashion, but surprisingly, you're a schemer, Nobunaga said.

"Are we eating together in Nanban?

"Right. I hear you dine with me. Besides, we lived on a small island. We should have stayed together."

"Isn't it strange if you think about it"

I know it's not the way the Takeshi family works, but I don't have to know if it's an official place, and Katsuzaburo and the others said the usual meals are with us as a family.

Looks like the Oda family is different.

The dish consists of stewed shiitake mushrooms and Takano tofu with konjac and wipes, and meat potatoes. It's grilled salmon without salt and pickled with kiyurino, tofu, fried oil and miso soup with walnuts.

It's bad for Shinsu I've been hoping for, Ramen, but it's Japanese-style food tonight, isn't it?

"... Shiitake mushrooms"

"This is salmon."

"That's just great. Those who can quickly serve such a sumptuous dish will not."

I was a little worried about the reaction, but he seemed surprised that it wasn't surprisingly bad.

The people Shinsu brought in are obviously confused, and I guess that's all the rare food.

"I'm looking forward to eating."

"This looks like temple food."

"My late father learned something from somewhere. Maybe he learned it in some temple. Seasoning is tailored to our taste, so it's a little different."

Nobunaga is the one who hasn't hesitated to eat. Others are waiting for Shinsu to eat, but Shinsu put chopsticks on the stew with shiitake mushrooms first.

"Is this the rumored soy sauce?

"Yes, it's a little something I made on my hometown island."

"Delicious."

Eating Takano tofu stained with the flavours of shiitake mushrooms and dashi gave Shinsu a more surprising look than he had ever seen. When I say a word delicious, I add chopsticks to the dish to see if I'm feeling hoarse around it.

It's a boiled dish that can be described as traditional Japanese food in the future, but in this era when soy sauce is not very popular, it becomes a completely new dish.

If you're Shinsu, eat some pretty good food. Yes, it is.

"I'm new to salmon"

Yeah, he's one of the stars of the day, but he was safely greeting Shin-soo and getting his word of encouragement. It was the salmon baked goods that surprised Mr. Ichigo.

Something to do and salmon is a luxury, isn't it, in this day and age? Especially since the Pacific side won't be caught south of Kanto.

The alcohol was turned into honey wine and turbidity. I don't know much about alcohol to make a scene.

"This is an unknown potato."

"It's a potato I found on a continent far east of Japan. We call them potatoes."

"Isn't it quite delicious? Can't you make it out of Ozheng?

"I'm planting a little in the garden to try. I can't work in tandem, but the harvest isn't bad, because it can be planted on land that's not suitable for rice. However, it is troublesome to flow to other countries, so I thought it would be better to stop planting them for the time being."

Pork potatoes are also popular. When it comes to potatoes in this day and age, all we have are potatoes and natural potatoes, but we are all surprised by the flavor stained potato flavor.

Of course you don't have onions, do you? Nor is it common in this era to season the future with soy sauce, mirin and sugar.

Nobunaga seems to want to make potatoes out of tailgating just now, but sweet potatoes and potatoes are a saving crop. It doesn't do a lot of things when you spread it poorly.

"Another country? So much?"

"Yes. I hope you never betray me. It can also be saved, so it's troublesome if it flows to those who are poorly hostile."

Shin-soo, who was listening to the word "other country," came with his mouth pinched to see if he cared, but it would be troublesome if it spread poorly and passed on to Takeda or something. The problem is that I can increase potatoes from seed potatoes, so I can increase them for anyone.

And I didn't dare to say it, but Ozhang Domestic is never a trustworthy situation either.

We all obey Shin-soo to some extent while he has power, but as you can see from Shin-soo's historical facts, it's not weird to turn to his enemies whenever you want.

"Before other countries, Ozhang is also a problem when it comes to problems. One horse, I hear they're walking without an escort. Maybe he's confident in his arms, but the thoughtless are everywhere. Don't bother imitating the gaps that come in."

"Yes, I'm sorry"

"From Tsushima to Naguno, it would be fine. I also hear stories of people making noise about you in Qingzhou. Iwakura is never subordinate to me either."

Shin-soo may have noticed what I meant by including it in my words, if it was a place that I would never betray.

After acknowledging that Ozhang Domestic was also a problem, he became angry that it was careless.

We're usually free to go out to the city or go fishing. You don't have to escort me, but I'm not supposed to lose the roaming around here.

It would be dangerous to see it from the edge.

"Speaking of which, father. Are you sure you don't want to attack Mino?

"If you have money and people to spend in battle, you should use it for an example iron making facility. He is strong in battle, but he has no trust in his family. Mino doesn't fit easily."

It may be unusual for Shin-soo to mention his relationship with Qingzhou and Iwakura. The people who are offering Shinsu are a little surprised.

Sounds like your relationship with the Oda Iwakura family, who governs Ogata County above Oozhang, wasn't surprisingly bad until recently, was it?

Because it is the current state of affairs that complicates the intertwining of positions and strengths as the same Oda clan in the status and authority established by the Shogun. He said he would cooperate if he had a name, but not until he was subordinate.

Nobunaga told me about Mino's attack. Shinsu said she won't do the Mino attack with her reputation, but there are rumors that she is genuinely motivated.

But as far as Shinsu's answers are concerned, there's no such thing as a massive attack on Mino as a historical fact.

Hopefully before attacking Mino or Mitsugawa, I'd like you to wrap up your tail.
