Chapter 97 Thinking
In the kitchen, idle people are not allowed to enter.
With my personal supervision, Benmaru's kitchen efficiency has accelerated by 10%. In addition to cooking good dishes, the maids who can work here must have a quick hand and careful work. If the maids who are in charge of cooking are stuck when eating fish, they are likely to be hanged when they eat fish bones and get stuck in the throat. Not to mention that there are situations such as Xiaoqiang, flies, big green worms, cigarette butts, and uncooked vegetables in the dishes, the chef would have been slaughtered long ago.
Specialty and unique foods, the Kudo family has never lacked specialty. If it is sea fish, you need to go ashore from Tango and then load it with a water truck to Hachikawa. Perhaps one-third of them are alive. However, eating ordinary seafood in Japan is too uncharacteristic. There are some good things in the cellar of Hachikawa Motomaru, so it seems that you have to share them with His Highness Nobunaga to taste.
Oda Nobunaga picked up the strange knife and fork, pointed at the weird 'shrimp noodles' on the plate with lingering fear and asked, 'What is this?'
I picked up the knife and fork and cut a small piece into my plate and put it in my mouth, and responded casually, "Whip."
‘Nobody talks, the bullwhip is not that long. I think it’s only one person who is straightened up is more than tall.’ Oda Nobunaga said, spreading his arms and gestured.
‘Because this is not a bullwhip, this is the overlord of the ocean, the whale whip. A whale weighs more than 100,000 pounds, and even such an exaggerated whip is not surprising.’ If I told him that a whale is heavier than a buffalo, wouldn’t it be scary? To be precise, this is the whip of a small whale. The whip of a large adult whale is nearly three meters long and weighs hundreds of pounds.
Oda Nobunaga knew that I made a fortune in the whale meat and whale oil business, but I didn't expect that this whale was much bigger than I thought. 'Could Kudo rely on this Ye Yu Shin-gun to keep his gun. It's so amazing. I didn't expect that the world is so strange.' After thinking it through, Oda Nobunaga also learned to cut a whale whip with a knife and taste it carefully. 'The taste is good, I think my whole body is getting hot. Ye Yu Shin-gun is still red in color.' Oda Nobunaga said something so scared that the little surname Mori Ranmaru behind him turned pale. The chrysanthemum is full of battles, which makes people live.
I am an enlightened person and know that taking whip and whip is pseudoscience, but psychological effects are the biggest obstacle for men. If someone knows that they have taken Viagra, they will be firm immediately. Even if he eats the wrong yeast tablet, the same is true on the plane. He will send a little airsickness medicine before the plane takes off, but he will continue to vomit and continue to vomit and dizzy. If the airsickness medicine really works so well, what will be done for vomiting bags? But what will happen if he doesn't send that almost useless airsickness medicine? The answer is to prepare more vomit bags. The reason why Oda Nobunaga really heats up is that the ginger, leeks, chopped green onions, radish, etc. in the ingredients play a role. Remember, this is the real aphrodisiac.
After having a "characteristic" lunch, Oda Nobunaga was in a good mood. After leaving the left and right, he whispered, "Shengichi, the surname Kudo is really not on the table. It is very difficult to give you a senior official position. How about it? Now there is a good opportunity. The Takashi family is a descendant. Should you change your surname? This is a famous family among the five photographers.
‘Hashiji Seiichi, this name is not good. I have a illegitimate eldest son, let him inherit it.’ Sakurako’s son cannot inherit the Kudo family’s business. It has always been Sakurako’s heart disease. However, Ashi has already given birth to two daughters. This is the authentic Kudo family heir. For the Oda family, it is natural for Ashi to inherit the Kudo family’s business. Who made Ashi keep the blood of the Oda family? I am now half of the Oda family’s son-in-law. It is difficult to do one family.
‘You really thought about it?’ Nobunaga Oda asked.
‘Think about it.’ I deal with it casually.
Oda Nobunaga shook his head, "I really don't know what you are thinking all day long. The Takashi family is a descendant of the Fujiwara clan. They actually want to leave it to their illegitimate son."
‘Isn’t it just a name? So what about the descendants of the Fujiwara clan? Without us, we wouldn’t starve to death. The real power is not the so-called bloodline of the surname. Your Highness, did you really defeat Imakawa Yoshimoto with the signature of the descendants of the Hei clan? No, it’s not with the swords and guns in our hands. This is the real power.’
‘Xingyi, I understand everything you said. But sometimes, it will be much easier to do things with a good surname.’
I laughed, 'Your Highness, according to my observation, everything has two sides, and the surname is the same. If you don't talk about it far away, just look at the Ashikaga family. The small Nijo Castle actually traps the descendants of the general back then. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that wood is exaggerated by the forest wind. I am already very rich now and have no shortage of power. At least it is the same in the place where the Danba Danhou is. If there is another good surname, I would probably be more jealous.'
Oda Nobunaga thought about it and agreed with my point of view, ‘Maybe you are right. There have been many slandering among the retainers in recent years. But are you always going to continue like this?’
‘Of course not. I am going to be a businessman in Jecho after helping His Highness Nobunaga unify Japan.’ I took out the silver coins that Nobunaga gave me these days and blew a beautiful crisp sound between my lips.
Oda Nobunaga asked in surprise, "Then are all the lands you have for blood sacrifice, so don't you want them?"
‘A part of the reward is given to the retainers, and those people are still obsessed with the land. The rest is returned to the Oda family directly.’ I said it quite relaxed, just like giving an irrelevant gift.
'Why?'
'Maybe I have read too many historical books. There are no immortal dynasties, Hei clans, and Genji in this world, and they have all declined, especially the Hei clans, whose direct descendants were killed. There is nothing I have in this seat. Among the names of Kanto and Kanxi, they are only afraid of me, and not me. But I cannot guarantee that every generation of my heirs is so outstanding, but as long as one generation of heirs becomes weak, the Kudo family's land must be changed. Since that is the case, it is better to abandon them early.'
Oda Nobunaga asked more like he was talking to himself, ‘Will the Oda family be like this in the future?’
‘If you say something very disrespectful, no one can escape. This is fate, and the family will have three declines and six prosperity. If you give up all rights and act like the Emperor Zhou, you can still be more long-term.’
‘Can the merchant’s family exist for a long time?’
‘As far as I know, at least there is no problem in Japan. The Japanese businessman system is very perfect. The rich merchants basically do nothing. They just think about spending money every day. Among the many stores, one or two have suffered natural disasters, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Those who do things and make money are the shopkeepers below, and these shopkeepers are all from apprentices and traitors step by step, and there is no problem with their abilities. And when did you hear that a shopkeeper of a rich merchant embezzled the shop of a rich merchant? No, because he did this, his reputation was over, and no one was doing business with him, so naturally no one did this. But as a subordinate of Daming embezzled the land of the weak lord, it seems almost a natural thing to do now. The lower one is to defeat the upper one.'
All the truth was said, Oda Nobunaga nodded and repeated what I said, "Yes, Shin-kun." Oda Nobunaga's lineage was the Oda family's side lineage that drove out the Oda family's head Oda Yamato Moriichi lineage, and then expelled the Harao Shin-kun family as a proxy official. It can be said that it is a typical example of Shin-kun to win the world. After all, the Oda family declined, and the retainers also did this to the Oda family. In history, these retainers also did this.
