Chapter 18 20. Xiao Xiao Prepares to Meet the Lord

Tsuna quickly went to the city to communicate with his daughter in the name of New Year's greetings, how they planned to discuss, and how to sell the news to Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Xiao Pingtai and the others can't control these things for a while.

Because Xiao Pingtou had already gone to Ejiri to take a boat. Fortunately, he succeeded in counterfeiting money for the first time and bought a Kiso horse that was slightly less than 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder. Someone must be talking about you and Qitou Donkey. ah! wrong! It’s about the same as riding a dog with a bigger head.

Don’t be dissatisfied. Before the horses in Kyushu, Japan were improved, there were many horses that were one meter or even 0.9 meters long (there were many horses). Horses that were more than one meter tall were called sacred horses by the emperor. In the central part of the country, Kiso horses and Shinano horses are almost 1.2 meters tall, while further north and south horses are 1.4 meters tall.

But can you please consider the feelings of the male protagonist Xiao Heita? Koheita is 1.4 meters tall and has a slight hunchback. To put it bluntly, he can only ride a donkey-like Kiso horse. Is it necessary for a horse with a height of 1.5 meters to go?

so! Koheita could only ride this quite docile Kiso horse in peace, and what else could he do?

According to the cliché plot of time travel, once you get a horse, you must get a cavalry, and you have to invent something to make your cavalry invincible in the world, right?

Unfortunately, after thinking for a while, Xiao Pingtou threw away all his thoughts about horseshoes, Takahashi saddles, and Arabian horses paired with East Asian Mongolian breeds. None of those things were in line with Japan's national conditions.

Shoes and high-bridge saddles were brought in by the Mongols, but they were not used by the Japanese. Nowadays, waves of southern barbarians are coming, and several Arabian horses have been brought here for a long time. Have you seen anyone crossbreeding? Japan, a nation that is so good at learning, doesn't even try to do it. It really treats all the ancient people as fools.

Just wear straw sandals on your horse's hooves, don't think about anything else. Anyway, no matter how slow you are, it's still faster than Xiaoping Tai's two legs.

After wandering to Ejiri, she boarded a ferry bound for Seshu. As she passed Ise Bay, Mrs. Kodaira couldn't help but think about whether the future water thief Daimyo Kuki Yoshitaka was still guarding a few boats and lurking there. . It's a pity that I don't know anything. I definitely can't win over such a famous general.

In short, I will also try to get some navy troops to come out. How about giving Uncle Tsunliang some ideas to make him stand out? Anyway, there are no famous generals, but I can come up with a few ideas. After thinking about it for a while, the boat docked.

After landing, Koheita was not in a hurry. There were many famous sleeping places on the streets of Ise, especially some of which would provide the famous Ise Dairairo.

It’s not that I just want to eat lobster, it’s that there are too few things to eat in this era, and there is nothing delicious. So I have been craving lobster for a long time, and snapper was considered the most valuable seafood at that time, and other oysters and shellfish were also very popular. The lobster was second best.

I found a meatball shop and ate a bunch of red beans and a bunch of bean paste first (yes, the red beans have bean shells, and the bean paste is pure bean paste. These are two different flavors). And the price is really cheap. You get three skewers for one dollar, so you don’t have to eat when you spend five dollars to eat fifteen.

Xiaoping felt that the appetizers and desserts were quite good, so he patted his butt and stood up. I found out the address of the store that served lobster from the store, so I went to look for the lobster I had missed for a long time.

I quickly found a shop along the streets of Minato, and after eating four lobsters boiled and grilled, I felt satisfied and calmly took out the counterfeit money I made to pay the bill. There was no doubt or dissatisfaction when the store took the money, and the counterfeit money was indeed very successful. Then I found a dormitory, boiled my feet with boiling water, and went to sleep peacefully.

The next day, Xiao Pingtai woke up naturally after sleeping, which was actually around seven o'clock. After eating and drinking enough, he went out. I found a merchant who dealt in minerals. Ise not only produced copper, but also mercury, lead, tin, etc.

After a while of bargaining, I bought 200 kilograms of copper for only ten guans, plus two guans for Japanese lead and lead. After the store issued a Yuza (pick-up card), he enthusiastically told him where the town's shrine was located. After all, these things were government-run businesses, and the things had to be picked up from the official warehouse.

Thinking that this time he didn’t have to work hard to pull the cart, Xiaoping felt relaxed for a while, thinking that he could still go shopping in the town. Moreover, it has become a habit to investigate local special products. In short, it is always right to listen more and see more and practice it yourself.

Ise Province is theoretically within the geographical scope of Tokaido, but in fact it is not far from Kyoto. A connected and systematic industrial chain has been formed in the Kinki area. Although Ise does not produce much silk, dyes are available.

So I asked about the price of safflower dye in Ise and compared it with the price of salt. Xiaopingtai didn't find any major good news.

You can’t come here in vain (the Chinese people’s top three excuses are: he is still a child, and he has been here for the Chinese New Year). Buy something before going back. I bought a handful of Seshu Muramasa in the town (not worth much, a few hundred dollars to Ikanbundo), of course the kind from mainland China, and then I picked out a few big round pearls (it’s very difficult to get round pearls in the wild) , I’ll just write whatever I want). As travel souvenirs, I hired Lifu to carry the things back to the ferry on the shore.

After slowly strolling back to Ejiri, and reporting to the castle of Isshiki Jojo, I was able to borrow a cart, hitch the horse, and continue my leisurely stroll back to Yamauchi Fuchu Castle.

First, he gave a pearl to each of Uncle Tsunaliang's three wives, and then gave him the remaining money.

Seeing his three wives hugging each other, the eldest wife just turned 30 during the Chinese New Year, and the youngest wife turned 15, it was really an evil old society.

But thinking about the three women pestering him to make pearl jewelry for Jinzi, Xiao Pingtai laughed in his heart, thinking about how you can deal with the three women. Just for this reason, the desire of the otaku Xiao Pingtai to find a wife immediately was greatly reduced.

After getting rid of the entanglement of the three wives, Tsunayoshi quickly made plans with Xiao Pingtai. It is estimated that Yamauchi Yoshiharu in the city will hear the news of pillow talk in the next few days. They must be ready to show their skills to Yamauchi Yoshiharu at any time.

Continue to be happy, and there are enough manuscripts in stock. Thanks to the recommendation votes of the big brothers.
