226 Lesson 225: Gifts and Ketties

Side: a long time ago

"Julia, you were a grown-up this time."

"I'll choose the time and place."

The feast ended with great excitement. There were some people who were pretty drunk in the second half because they were drinking golden liquor, plum liquor and alcoholic liquor.

Julia, who always drinks and cheers the most at banquets, was always an adult this time, and it's good that Nobunaga and everyone in the Oda family were nervous or had no one to expose them to ugliness.

"Plum wine has a good reputation, shall I teach you how to make plum wine to build friendship"

"The history of ice sugar has been ancient and has similar descriptions to the materials of the third century BC. In Japan, there are records of similar items brought in under the name of stone honey by the ambassador."

Raw ingredients shochu and ice sugar would be ridiculously expensive in this era. Do you want to sell it as a medicine?

Even sugar is sold as a medicine in the first place. Nothing. We don't sell it as medicine. The merchant at the end sells it as a medicine, naturally.

The only drugs we officially sell as drugs are golden alcohol. Gold alcohol is selling small quantities for several times the price of gold alcohol, but it is becoming very popular.

As long as the production of plums and distilled liquor is not greatly increased, it will be thinner if it is not also expensive medicine.

"Is this the Japanese book?

"Yes."

The next day I gave gifts to the Hojo family.

Globes, vitreous and ceramics were also brought to our typical products such as gold liquor, sugar, salmon, kelp, shiitake mushrooms, pepper, chili peppers, silk textiles and cotton textiles. Since our soy sauce and mirin are not products, they were made as personal souvenirs for Mr. Phantom Inn, who learned to cook.

It's mostly like a trial for future commerce. It's still the globe that Sukang ate.

I said I didn't know what the earth meant by being round. However, can you imagine some because the horizon you can see from Odawara is round?

We have to explain that the ship sailing west returns from the east and that the earth is round when we check its position due to the weather.

"How does it get to Nanban?"

"Is it about a year by boat?"

"Does it take so long?"

Is there no objection to the story that the earth is round, or is it true that half-heartedness? Well, I just don't think there's anyone out there who says it's impossible.

It doesn't look like he's giving Dada an advanced form of governance.

More than that, everyone in the Hojo family seems to be interested in Nanban. The fact that there are not one but several days and countries of Nanban that take to get from Japan to Nanban.

I will teach you, for example, that Nanban invaded a land far away. Oh, of course I have to tell you that religion is dangerous.

"I see. You mean weak, ignorant countries can't survive"

"Yes. You just haven't sent that many large armies in the current situation. Nanban country seems to have a complicated relationship."

After all, conflict situations abroad seem easy for samurai of this era to understand. It's the very age of the weak and forceful. I guess it's easy to understand because there's always something about religion, too. Kaga has a proven track record of taking over the country.

And the story turned from Oozawa to Sagami.

They're just curious to see how they got here early, just because there are so many difficulties. This story is easy to talk to because it's something you and Mr. Nishido Maru know.

Honestly, I was worried about not saying anything extra. I'd like to leave the explanation to Elle.

There was talk of commerce. He wants to know what we want.

For starters, I want as much sulfur and water flowers as I can take. And then, I want Omitahara's famous plum stew, along with Mazuru Peninsula's book Komatsushi. The priority is low, but the castings they say were served in Hojo may also be good.

I think we need to manage to keep the deal from becoming unilateral.

"So we have a suggestion from home. Would you like to make yesterday's plum wine at the Hojo family?

"Can you make that one?

"Yes, the original liquor and ice sugar can be accommodated here."

"I see. So is it in the interest of both sides"

When I learned that I could make plum wine with Hojo, all the heavy ministers of the Hojo family bothered a little. How much do you like alcohol?

We need to buy most of the ingredients from us, but if we make them ourselves, it's profitable and it's not pleasant, is it? But I think we're going to drink it all ourselves.

Side: hojo zukang

That's more than I imagined.

The globe and the others were surprised, but the minister bothered when he heard that they had only served it to the Oda family and the morning court.

Porcelain in other vitreous vessels that are transparent to the products handled by Kurumiya. Silk and cotton woven fabrics are. It's enough to worry about payback.

I know the purpose is commercial, but it would be too much nonetheless. I think I have this one on my face, but I want you to be the one who has to give me more than that.

You have to think about this, including tax incentives. Sulphur, water blossoms, and lots more.

Speaking of which, did my uncle say that Ichigo Oda wanted to go to Hachimanomiya Tsuruoka and Hot Springs? Let them prepare.

But that's my uncle. It will be the wisdom of the Kurumiya family to fear. Wind demons shouldn't go as far as Ming or Nanban either.

You think my uncle was admired by Ozhang's samurai? He also said he taught at school. He must have told us the story of Ming and Nanban in return.

Don't treat me like an understatement. Considering the power and wisdom of money, I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same.

Today's glance also concluded the main story, and my uncle introduced me again to the depths of the Kuyuan Hall.

I hear that he is also a doctor and a painter, like his uncle, Shoukuni of Imagawa, who seems to be a wise wife.

"I have no health problems. I'll just leave the bugs out."

Especially since the pharmacist said the belly of Xi Do-Maru had healed weakness, he decided to see him, including me.

Honestly, I just look like a daughter. I can't even crush my uncle's face.

Fortunately, no one is sick. Everyone got wormed out, but the medicine from the pharmacist said it worked well.

"What about you?

"I am a samurai"

"How is he?

"I'm pregnant"

"Whoa! I'm sorry about that."

The last time the Pharmacist spoke was one of the maids. I guess the pharmacist wondered if he could tell me if he saw me just a little bit.

When my uncle was happy with the story of my pregnancy, I immediately felt relieved.

Sometimes there's something wrong with being pregnant with a samurai. You seem pretty sure about your conversation with Smart.

But I still can't tell from what I've seen.

"Because it's only in the early days. I'd rather not force you too much."

"Right. Let's tell your wife something. Keep him quiet."

"I'm in awe"

But I didn't know you could tell about my child's pregnancy. Oda may bring me good news.

――――――――――――――――――

The medicine Kusu.

One of Hojo Tsukang's side rooms.

The birth or parents are unknown. Looks like she was a samurai in Sokang's side room, and she became Sokang's sideroom.

History has had a name for her because it is written in the Astronomical Kanto Middle Road on the part of the Oda family, the official name and common name are unknown.

However, Sukang also said she was happy with her pregnancy, and it is noted that she has become a side chamber.
