Chapter 95 19. Poor, Crazy and Hungry Heirokuro
After finishing the work easily and hooking up with Sukezaemon, Koheita asked Aji and Tatsuzo to carry iron guns on their backs and prepare to find a place to eat.
Eating hot pot, humming songs, and riding in a carriage. ah! wrong! Went to the wrong set, so Xiao Pingtai went back to his dormitory in a very beautiful mood while humming a song.
When he walked back to Tennoji's house, the sharp-eyed Aji saw that the young man who had just been beaten was still lying on the ground, and he didn't even scream. He was not afraid of big troubles, and ran over with a fearless spirit of watching the excitement.
"It's not that big of a deal. If you encounter a murder case when you go out, you are still an eyewitness!" Xiaopingtai thought that it was still a life after all. Let's go and have a look. Anyway, there are people coming and going on the street, and there are many people who can prove that the person did not kill him by himself. of. Besides, he is a samurai, and he is a famous samurai with a famous name and a golden thigh. At least he is not afraid of being slandered by others.
Xiao Pingtai brought over the water bottle that Aji was carrying, which was a simple portable kettle made by cutting a section of bamboo.
First, I observed the person lying on the ground, and saw that his chest was still rising and falling normally. He checked his nose and mouth, and he was breathing. Presuming he was knocked unconscious, Xiaopingta patted the man's face a few times, but there was no reaction.
And then, isn’t it in the TV series? Old ladies have a trick to deal with comatose people. Pinch the philtrum, that place in the philtrum is so tender. If you don’t believe me, touch the tender flesh below your nostrils and above your lips. If you’re cruel, pinch it yourself. It’ll hurt so much that you’ll die. Hahahahaha, don’t ask how you know this, everyone has stories.
Xiao Pingtai rolled up his sleeves, made fists with both hands and then unclenched them, "Aji, support this guy." "Okay!" Xiao Pingtai pinched the little brother's heart hard with his fingers. Then the severe and irritating pain immediately woke the person up, and the person let out an ouch. He finally recovered from his coma, but he was still unconscious.
So Xiaopingtai opened the kettle and poured half a pot of water on the person's face, and then the person slowly woke up. Koheita thought that the man at Tennojiya was so careless that he actually knocked someone unconscious. The townsfolk would definitely not care if they beat someone a few times. Who said Tennojiya was so powerful? They almost beat the person to death and they were not afraid of ruining their boss's reputation.
Xiaopingtai helped the man upright, patted him on the back, and then handed him the water bottle. After the man drank the water, he coughed a few times, and he looked much better. Before he could say thank you, his stomach growled at the right time.
Aji has always been a person who can't hide his impatience. "I'm hungry too." Xiaopingtai glanced at Aji first, and then looked at the a little embarrassed young man, "It seems you are hungry too, let's go eat something together." What?"
Hearing Xiao Pingtai's invitation, the man was a little embarrassed. After all, they meet by chance, two people who have nothing to do with each other. But this man was obviously very hungry, and at this time his hunger overcame his shamelessness. It is more important to be full than to look good, and hungry people will quickly make good choices.
Aji seemed to have known for a long time that he would eat out at noon. He excitedly told Xiao Pingtai that when he came earlier, he saw a sign at the door of a store that said rice balls and bento, but Xiao Pingtai had no impression at all. Sure enough, depending on what people pay attention to, the scenery they see will be very different.
Following Aji's guidance, a few people found a veranda that also served as a lunchbox. That's right, it's a veranda in the ordinary sense. In Chinese, it means a place to drink flower wine. But it makes sense to think about it. It is normal for a place like this to also run food. When you are tired and hungry from playing here, you have to eat. After all, it is also a physical exercise and very strenuous.
But when I think about the fact that the restaurant Aji has been dreaming about this morning is actually a chicken farm, tsk tsk tsk, it’s better not to tell him. He is still a child and knows too many bad things, so it cannot hinder his healthy and happy growth.
Because the two children were still young, no one came in to serve them. Otherwise, the scene would be too glamorous and the white legs would be exposed, and Xiaoping would not be able to eat well. Just ask for two more bottles of wine and some of Omi's famous products, a kind of rice-pickled fish, 鸫? (This is probably the name of the legendary ancestor of sushi) as a side dish with drinks.
The man saw that the nori bento brought was just white rice with a sour plum in the center, and then covered with a few sheets of grilled nori, but nothing else. But the man didn't say anything and just finished eating in three swipes, five divided by two. Seeing this, Xiao Pingtai pushed his share to him, and then asked the boss to bring another share. The man was also hungry, so he drank a bowl of miso soup and finished another bento.
Xiaoping had eaten the chazuke rice cooked by Aji this morning. She was not very hungry, so she ate slowly. After several years of abundant food and clothing, Xiaopingtai's pursuit of food has shifted from being full to eating well. As expected, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. While sighing, he used chopsticks to break the seaweed, then wrapped the rice in the seaweed, and then slowly put it into his mouth. Chewing slowly formed a clear contrast with this man.
After the man finished eating, he burped and finally recovered. He looked at Xiao Pingtai very embarrassedly. Xiao Pingtai was fine. When he bought Aji back, he still vividly remembered the way Aji almost choked himself to death on the rice balls.
Now that this person was eating well, Xiaoping felt that he had almost eaten, so he pushed the remaining half of the box to Aji. Aji didn't care whether he ate the leftovers or not. When he saw what was left, he took it and finished it. You get hungry quickly when you grow taller. Food is so precious. Do you still dislike eating some?
Koheita poured a dish of wine for the man, who took it with both hands very solemnly and drank it. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste of the dish of wine, and seemed to feel very good. I don’t know what kind of flower this low-alcohol rice wine can make, but wine does facilitate communication.
A dish of wine opened up the conversation. This man is called Heiroku, a native of Koshimizu in Settsu Province. Eight years ago, Miyoshi Nagayoshi and Hosokawa Harumoto fought to the death in Settsu. Their family was very natural. His father was killed on the battlefield as cannon fodder, and his mother dragged him to Sakai to escape and starved to death on the road.
He was discovered by a young man under Takeno Joou, who was in the Sakai group at the time, while on patrol. This man walked on the ground all year round and had some face, so he picked up Heiroku, who was about to starve to death, and threw him to Tennojiya, asking him to work as a handyman fireman there, and give him a meal every day so that he would not starve to death.
Who knew that Pingliu had some skills? After working for a few years, he was appreciated by the boss and officially became an apprentice, and was assigned to sell soy sauce.
Who knew that it was precisely because of selling soy sauce that he became like this.
