"Ounisan, today we are making beef sukiyaki. Google search and read"

Just returned to the private house.

Xiao Chiyo ran to the entrance and helped him carry his schoolbag.

The Japanese sukiyaki sounds good, but in fact it looks similar to the dry pot in later generations. However, it is divided into Kansai version and Kanto version of sukiyaki. Kansai sukiyaki is more complicated. First, use beef oil to heat the pan, then stir-fry the beef for a while, and then continue to cook with soy sauce. When it is almost cooked, add vegetables.

Kanto's sukiyaki is much rougher. Soy sauce, sugar, broth, etc. are directly mixed together to make a sauce, and then cooked directly with beef.

Xunzi is from Yamanashi Prefecture in Kanto, but she also learned cooking in the geisha school. Kyoto is in Kansai, and the upper class always have to eat more complicated, so this time it is the Kansai version of sukiyaki.

Under the flat iron pan, there is a small copper stove with charcoal in it.

Under the full dish is a slightly thinner sauce. The aroma was bubbling.

"How is it at the Kei-no-sha?"

Bai Gui knelt in front of the dining table, picked up a piece of beef with bamboo chopsticks, and put it in his mouth, feeling very satisfied.

"Some of the things taught at the Kei-no-sha are similar to those taught in the geisha school, but there are some differences..."

Chiyoko replied.

Xunzi also said something similar, praising the teaching environment of the Kei-no-sha.

Bai Gui nodded, and he also understood a little.

Kei-no-sha is dedicated to training aristocratic ladies. Although the teachings are all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are definitely different from what geishas learn, and they are also much more dignified.

...

The next day.

The newspaper used the gimmick of "Japanese novel writers' remuneration" as a press release.

The effect was remarkable.

Many new authors submitted more and more articles to the newspaper.

And Bai Gui's reputation in the industry also increased greatly. After all, with the title of "No. 1 remuneration for novels", people would look up to him wherever he went.

Therefore, he also received an invitation to a recent gathering of writers in the industry.

Although Bai Gui had a reputation in the past, he was new and had not even finished writing a book. Many famous writers came to support him at the literary club gatherings and major newspapers also supported him, but they treated him as a new writer, with a strong sense of support.

He would not be invited to more high-end gatherings.

This time, Bai Gui finished the first volume of The Black Fission of the Great Qin Empire, which is considered a famous work. The second volume has sold well and has a good reputation, and he will no longer be called a new author.

Setagaya District.

Mori Ogai's private residence.

This is a three-story building, which is more luxurious than Okakura Tenshin's previous villa, and is also in European style. Tokyo is close to the Pacific Ocean, and Westernization will be more serious, not to mention that these writers and literary masters have studied abroad, and European decoration style is very common.

For example, Mori Ogai was also a student studying in Germany. Natsume Soseki was a student studying in England.

After handing the invitation to the waiter, Bai Gui was led to the French window area on the second floor. This place has the best lighting. From the window, you can see the ancient Gotoku-ji Temple in the distance, near the lake, and the scenery is quiet.

There are already many literati chatting in the house.

This is a private party. They are dressed more casually, some are wearing kimonos, some are wearing suits, and some are wrapped in outer robes, as if they have not woken up yet.

As soon as Bai Gui sat down and admired the beautiful scenery outside the window, he noticed a fragrant breeze approaching.

Then a woman with a delicate face sat beside him, wearing a thin layer of powder, holding a high-heeled glass filled with red wine, and the broken golden sunlight sprinkled down and fell on her lips, shining red.

"Senior Tanabe." Gu

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Didn't you go back to Kyushu Island?"

Bai Gui was a little surprised.

Tanabe Ryuko was dressed similarly to the first time he met her, a dark kimono, but with a light yellow wing on the sleeves. The so-called "Biyi" means that the cuffs are decorated with ribbons, which look like bird wings.

Dressed to complement each other.

When he first participated in the literary club's social gathering, Tanabe Ryuko danced with him at the ball and mentioned that he was going back to Kyushu Island.

Kyushu Island is much warmer than Tokyo, and the scenery is also pleasant.

"Kyushu Island is too boring. I just went back to visit my relatives, not to stay in Kyushu..." Tanabe Ryuko glanced at Bai Gui with her beautiful eyes, and then smiled softly, "I didn't expect that I had been in Kyushu Island for half a year and just returned to Tokyo, and I met you again?"

"You are also amazing. I was invited to a gathering at the private house of a great writer, but it was two years after my debut..."

She couldn't help but say.

"It's just a coincidence. I was favored by Senior Mori. Maybe it's because Senior Mori has been writing historical novels recently."

Bai Gui said casually.

Just last month, Japan created a great treason incident to strengthen cultural autocracy. Some progressive books were not allowed to be published. So recently Mori Ogai stopped writing romantic and modernist novels and turned to historical novels.

He is now unique in writing historical novels.

He has a great reputation.

As they were chatting, Natsume Soseki came over.

He also heard some of the conversation.

The three of them clinked glasses.

After drinking.

Natsume Soseki smiled and said, "I admire Bai Jun very much. I originally planned to send you an invitation letter when Bai Jun entered the second year of high school, but I didn't expect Bai Jun to join this guy Bai Shi. I regret it..."

"Senior Natsume, thank you for your praise."

Bai Gui replied with a cold expression.

It is not a fantasy that Natsume Soseki would also come to Ichigao to recruit disciples.

In fact, in a few years, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Masao Kume will join Natsume Soseki and become his disciples.

Natsume Soseki is currently a professor of English at Daiichi High School and a lecturer of English literature at Tokyo University.

It's just that Natsume Soseki was a busy man, and unlike Professor Shiraishi, he didn't have time to teach Japanese history at Ichigao. It has been so long since Bai Gui came to No. 1 High School that he has never seen Natsume Soseki teach English in No. 1 High School.

However, Shiraiki has no intention of joining Natsume Soseki's disciples. He is talented enough and does not need a very famous teacher to cover his own light. In comparison, although Professor Shiraishi is not as famous as Natsume, he has the resources at Tokyo University. on, not necessarily less than Natsume. Natsume has too many disciples, so resources will not be so concentrated on him.

In addition, although Natsume Soseki expressed war weariness in "I Am a Cat", there are also some works that are contemptuous of the Qing people...

A real man does what he does and what he doesn't do.

He would not deliberately hate Natsume Soseki, but he would not be a disciple of Natsume Soseki either.

"If... Mr. Bai wants to ask for advice, well, I heard Professor Baishi say that you are currently studying and writing a test of customs of various countries. I still have some knowledge of England, and I can still understand what I don't understand. Go to my place..."

When Natsume Soseki saw Bai Gui's cold expression, he felt bored and left after saying a few words.

There are a lot of business matters here, and he is not here specifically for Bai Gui.

As for the cold expression, writers all have bad habits of one kind or another, and he doesn't care too much.
