169. Ishida Maeda

On the morning of the third day, I was working on ramen noodles, just like the soup ingredients I made, thinking of making a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles that I liked most in my previous life. Jiugui Zhengxiao suddenly came to report and told me that two guests were visiting me.

I asked who it was, and he told me that the young one was Mizunai Ishida, but the older one didn't speak.

I raised my eyebrows and said oh, Mizunashi Ishida? I didn't expect that they were so alert. So I smiled slightly and told Jiugui Masato to ask them to wait in the hall and I will come later.

So I continued to pull my noodles slowly. Lanzhou beef noodles emphasize "there is clear soup for the mirror, the fragrant meat for the rotten meat, and the essence for the fine noodles". There is also the emphasis on "one clear, two white, three red, four green and five yellow", that is: one clear, the soup is clear; two white, white, radish; three red, red chili oil; four green, coriander, green garlic sprouts; five yellow, yellow, noodles are bright yellow!

At this time, I couldn't buy coriander in Japan, so I asked someone to find a plant called coriander instead, which tasted similar. As I tasted the soup in front of me, I was boiling Mitsunashi Ishida in my heart!

What are they doing? Negotiation? Conciliation? Testing? Threat? How much does Hashiba Hideyoshi know? What does he want?

I tasted the soup in my mouth, but thought about all kinds of possibilities in my mind. When I thought it through clearly, the noodles in my hand had been pulled into two thin pieces and put them into the pot. After a while, they were already cooked.

I called Qinglian and Yuhe, put three bowls of beef noodles in the front hall. When I stepped in, Maeda Geni and Ishida Sansei were sitting upright in front of the table. Seeing me in, the two bowed slightly and saluted me.

I immediately knelt down, saluted them, and smiled and said, "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? I wonder what you two are here? Why don't you try the skills you are here first!"

As he said that, he waved his hand slightly, Qinglian and Yuhe came in gracefully, put a bowl of beef noodles for the three of us, and then put down the small pot containing balsamic vinegar and chili oil before retreating.

Mizuna Ishida bowed to me and smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Sun, for your hospitality! My name is Mizuna Ishida. This is my Shangguan Maeda Geni. We are all from the Hashiba Army. We are here to visit Commander Sun. I am very sorry for being disturbed!"

I smiled and said, "Oh! It turns out that it is Lord Hideyoshi's general! I am Sun Qilan you are looking for, so I'm so negligent!"

The two hurriedly thanked, "How dare you? Thank you for the hospitality!"

I smiled slightly, picked up the bowl and said, "The thickness of this noodles is called second-fine, which is the favorite of men from the main origin of this pasta. If it is a woman, she would like to have more thin hair!" As she said that, she picked up the bowl, picked a large chopstick noodles, and bit it hard. As she felt it was a little light, she added some balsamic vinegar and chili oil. Take a few bites of noodles and a sip of soup, and it was delicious.

Maeda Geni and Ishida Mizunai both drank some porridge and ate some dry food in the morning. It was just that they were hungry and said they were not full. When they smelled the noodles so fragrant, they started to move honestly and unceremoniously. They imitated me, added some vinegar and chili to the noodles, ate noodles, drank soup, drank noodles, and drank soup!

In Japan, there are some specialties when eating noodles at other people's homes. They must suck it out and there must be no left. It is best to drink the soup! The beef noodles I have laid are floating on them, wrapping the calories underneath. Even if you eat noodles first and then drink the soup, you have to blow it slowly. These two people come up and drink the soup. Isn't that hot enough?

To be honest, I felt it hurts when I looked at it, but it was hard to remind me. Fortunately, the two of them found it so hot that they looked at me, found the trick, and began to concentrate on eating noodles first, and finally took the bowl and drank the whole bowl of beef soup in one go!

"Ah!" After the two of them finished eating, they made a sigh at the same time, exclaiming: "There is such delicious food in the world?"

I smiled and said, "I am grateful to you for your praise! Thank you very much for not dislike the vulgarity of the hospitality!"

The two bowed together and said, "Thank you for the hospitality! The delicacies from the Celestial Empire are indeed well-deserved!"

I laughed and said, "To be honest! I'm going to open a beef noodle restaurant here in Hakata! It can be regarded as promoting the local complex!"

Maeda Geni smiled and said, "Your Chamber of Commerce also has trade in Sakai Port, why not open one there?"

I smiled and said, "Scarcity makes things valuable! This side is made by hand. It is not a professional. It can't make the fragrance. Instead, it has ruined the sign! I only open this one at the moment, and it is limited to supply every day. Until it is sold out, it is better to have nothing than to be too much!"

Mizuna Ishida smiled and said, "You are really smart! You are afraid that everyone will queue up to seek this bowl of noodles. Those who can eat it will never forget the taste, but those who cannot think about it day and night. Inadvertently, it will be another promotion! Commander Sun is worthy of his talent!"

I laughed and said, "Where is a talent? It's just because I'm lazy and I just want to do so much every day!"

But Mizunashi Ishida showed a smile you know and said loudly: "Sun Yang is far away from the Ming Dynasty, but he is still heroic and free to control himself. I admire him!"

I smiled and said, "This is an over-reward! I am just a wanderer in a foreign land, so what is there to admire? It's two of you!"

I pointed to Maeda and said, "Your Maeda is a talented person in the best of internal affairs and is a master of the world. I admire you very much!"

As he said that, he pointed at Mizunashi Ishida again and said with a smile: "As for Ishida, you will become a pillar of your own in the future. You must rely on two more people!"

These two sentences not only point out what I know about you, but also express your friendly attitude. Even if it is friendly in appearance, it makes the two of them a little confused.

Mizuna Ishida thought to himself: I didn’t expect that Sun Qilan would be so polite? Then he is opposed to our army everywhere but for that? Or is our information wrong? In fact, it’s not him who is a ghost from it? Let’s test it first!

So Mizunashi Ishida smiled again, "Commander Sun has won many awards! I am just a sesame official, how can I compare with Commander Sun's talent? Your great achievements are well-known even if you are far away in Japan!"

But I played Tai Chi and said, "A hero will not mention his courage! Believe me, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to me!"

Mitsunari Ishida is a young man, a capable young man, a capable young man without any actual performance, a capable young man who has no actual performance, and is looked down upon by the big guys in the family. When I heard that I was so optimistic about his future, I suddenly felt like a confidant in my heart!

So when Ishida Mizunari spoke again, he was already quite interested in recruiting: "Commander Sun! We came this time to follow the orders of Lord Shun, and we came to make friends with you especially! Recently, some unpleasant things have happened in our army's territory. Lord Shun, who has any questions, can discuss any questions. He still respects you very much! If both sides can resolve the conflict and become friends, it would be great!"

But I replied with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Zhuqianshou, for your praise! But since I am far away from my hometown, I don't want to be restrained anymore. Everything is done casually! Besides, some things cannot be solved by respecting them, nor can they be traded at a price!"

Maeda Kyung said in anger: "Is it a tragedy for Lord Lingzun?"

I remained silent, took the tea handed over by Qinglian and took a sip.

Mizuna Ishida glanced at me, thanked the tea, and then continued: "The Kumano Navy and our master are actually just hiring relationships. We both have nothing to say directly to the leaders! How biased it is said by the outside world!"

This sentence was used to cleanse Hideyoshi Hashiba. I still kept silent and continued to drink tea. Anyway, the reason was made up, and it was useless to explain it no matter how hard you explained it! Haha!

Maeda Kyō was a little angry. He was 43 years old this year and was one of the five bigwigs of the Hashiba family. Facing me, a young man under 20 years old, I was polite everywhere and looked at my face from time to time, and I suddenly felt a little impatient.

So he said in a rather cold tone: "Sun Yang, although you were a third-rank official in the Ming Dynasty, you held military power! You have already been overseas and become a businessman. Are you really going to be against the official family?"

To put it bluntly, after Ishida Mizunari finished singing, Maeda Gensu continued to sing bluntly. Seeing that it was impossible to say good things, this had already begun to threaten me.

I smiled and stretched out three fingers at Maeda Geni. I took back the first finger and laughed: "First, who is the official you are talking about? If it refers to Hideyoshi, I remember Hideyoshi is not the emperor, right? Can he represent the official family?"

Maeda Gen was choked. No matter how awesome Hashiba Hideyoshi was, he was just a daimyo. Even if he became Taizheng Guanbai, he was just the prime minister of the cabinet and could not even be considered a royal family. How could he represent the official? If he said yes, it would be a crime of usurpation; but if he said no, the atmosphere had been blown out just now! So he could only keep silent.

I retracted my second finger and smiled and said, "Although I am just a businessman, I am not allowed to control it. If I don't believe it, do you want to copy the situation in the south of your territory to the western coast again?"

This sentence was a threat of nakedness! Maeda Kyōi's face suddenly changed drastically and he said anxiously: "You..."

Mizumari Ishida wanted to speak, but I interrupted: "Third!" With a "brush", the imitation boy in my hand had already pressed against Maeda Kyū's throat! With a slight force on his hand, a bloodline was slightly flowing from Maeda Kyū's neck! He was so scared that he didn't dare to let out, and he didn't even dare to beg for mercy!

I sneered, "As for this third, you are now under the roof, and I am not within his sphere of influence of Hideyoshi Hashi. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I want your life, just like killing a chicken. What can Hideyoshi Hashihashi do to me?"

Mizuna Ishida spoke and explained: "Commander Sun! Master Tuomasato didn't mean this, he was misunderstood by Master Maeda!"

Hearing this, I said "oh", then "brushed" and took back the imitation boy cut, and asked with a smile: "What is the misunderstanding?"

Mizunashi Ishida said seriously: "Mr. Hideyoshi means that if you can give up all your past grudges, he is willing to compensate for the losses in your family. I hope to cooperate sincerely in the future and make progress together!"

I shook my head and smiled, "The hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable! 30%, if you could give up your blood hatred for money?"

Mizunashi Ishida was a real person and gritted his teeth and said, "That's absolutely not possible!"

I nodded and smiled, "Then why do you come and persuade me?"

Mizunari Ishida sincerely said: "Looking at the present world, those who are expected to unify the world must build the front and guard it! I persuade you to leave a good relationship for you!"

I laughed and said, "Ishida, just say this to you. Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Mizunashi Ishida said in surprise: "What bet?"

I smiled and said, "Go back and tell your lord that I will bet with him. After the spring of next year, he and Shibata Katsuya will have a battle! I will naturally help Shibata. If Hideyoshi can win, I will no longer be troubled by you in the future, and I can even help you with all my strength! If I lose..."

Mizunashi Ishida said seriously: "If you lose, what if you do?"

I smiled and said, "If I lose, I will open a beef noodle restaurant in Antu City. I would like to come and take care of a bowl of noodles every day!" In fact, what I mean is that one battle determines the outcome and no longer gets entangled.

Mizuna Ishida stood up and said, "If so, I think my lord will definitely be willing to play a bet with you! That's all!"

I also stood up and said, "It's hard to chase after all!"
