Thirty-nine, Horita's broken outlook on life (middle)

Yuu Horita was pushed to wash by Jiang Shuiyuan in a daze, and then pulled to have a tasteless breakfast. Then the two of them squatted under the locust tree at the gate of the Imperial Academy. One silently doubted his life, and the other read the book "Hanhe Shuangjie Dictionary" with relish. It was not until Ura Xiaoxiang appeared that Yuu Horita was excited and pounded Jiang Shuiyuan with his elbow a few times:

"Hey, hey, Jiang Jun, there is a big beauty over there, she is very pretty! Do you want to go up and chat with her?"

Jiang Shuiyuan also saw Pu Xiaoxiang, who was walking over gracefully and deliberately instigated, "Why not? Do you come first or I come first?"

Yuu Horita also looked at Jiang Shuiyuan's appearance, evaluated himself again, and immediately stood up: "I'll do it first! I'm a famous girl killer on the streets of Otsu. The success rate of picking up is as high as 95%, and the remaining 5% is that I was caught by someone. So please be calm and see how I successfully invite this beautiful angel girl to accompany us to go shopping! Look, she has come to me!"

As he said that, Yuu Horita also took a few steps and stopped Ura Xiaoxiang: "Dignity, beautiful lady, お日本! What we are so thrilling is that today's Dongpo Villa is here to play, and the language is not clear. (What should I do?) Can the lady be kind? Our Dasangkoji Temple helper bring it? Thank you very much!" After saying that, he bowed deeply.

Pu Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes wide: "Go away!"

"Go to Kai? Then what is going?" Yuuki Horita deliberately pretended to be confused, "Miss, your clothes are beautiful, but you are more beautiful! However, your heart is the most. I hope you can-"

Ura Xiaoxiang walked around Horita Yuya, and came to Jiang Shuiyuan with a slight blessing, then asked, "Jiang Shuiyuan, who is that guy?"

Jiang Shuiyuan closed the dictionary and stood up, pointed at Yuya Horita and replied with a smile: "His name is Yuya Horita. He is from Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Nihong. He is currently studying at the prefecture Otsu Higher Education Institution. Because Otsu and Danzhou are friendly cities, he came to Danzhou to study and study, and by the way to Dongpo Villa to experience the peerless beauty of the Song Dynasty."

Pu Xiaoxiang was a little surprised and said casually: "So he is really a Japanese devil!"

"Great, beautiful lady, I am a Nibang man, not a Japanese devil!" Yuki Horita followed behind him and corrected seriously, "Also, as you have heard, my name is Yuki Horita, who is here for a trip to Tianchao Scholarship. Please give me some advice when you meet for the first time!"

Ura Xiaoxiang quickly saluted and said, "My name is Ura Xiaoxiang, please give me some advice!"

Yuu Horita also walked to Jiangshuiyuan, pounded Jiangshuiyuan with his elbow, and asked softly, "So you know each other! Who is she?"

Jiang Shuiyuan was afraid that Pu Xiaoxiang would be unhappy, so he replied in Japanese: "Private のクラスメート." (My classmate.)

Pu Xiaoxiang seemed worried that Jiang Shuiyuan would say something she didn't want to listen to, and hurriedly answered: "I am his girlfriend." (I am his girlfriend.) After she finished speaking, she realized that Jiang Shuiyuan was also speaking Japanese. Since she could speak, she naturally understood it. She couldn't help feeling embarrassed at the moment. Fortunately, she became wise in a hurry and immediately asked, "Huh? Jiang Shuiyuan, when did you learn Japanese? Why don't I know?"

Eshuiyuan also didn't want to bother with the question just now: "I learned a few words from Mr. Horita last night, but it was just a little daily conversation and I was not familiar with the others."

Ura Xiaoxiang didn't give Horita Yuki a chance to interrupt: "Then we can chat in Japanese from now on! I have taught a little with Ni Hong's family since I was a child, and now I have forgotten it almost. I just took the opportunity to review it."

"My Japanese is a basic one, so don't dislike it then!"

"How could I dislike it? Although I have learned a little before, it is no different from being a zero foundation now. We are just half a pound and eight taels, and the tip of the needle is against the wheat."

Yuu Horita finally waited for the opportunity to speak and asked quickly: "Miss Ura, you are calm and look normal! Don't you think it's amazing? Jiang Jun actually learned Japanese in just one night. Although it's just a daily conversation, the pronunciation is so standard, the grammar is almost correct, and he also speaks some incisive new words from time to time, which is jaw-dropping!"

Pu Xiaoxiang shook his head: "If you are talking about others, I definitely don't believe it, but you are talking about Jiang Shuiyuan, I will never have any doubts. - Even if you say that he had a flash of inspiration this morning and used two pages to prove the Fermat's theorem, I would not be surprised at all, because I know more than anyone else how powerful he is!"

"..." Hearing Pu Xiaoxiang's answer, Jiang Shuiyuan felt that his face was so hot that he could cook eggs, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Horita, U Xiaoxiang, don't you say you want to go shopping? Go away quickly! Let's not get up early and go to the evening market!"

"Okay! Go shopping!"

When he heard about shopping, Pu Xiaoxiang was so cute that he shouted happily, and rushed forward with a deep hatred from Jiang Shuiyuan. Jiang Shuiyuan looked bitter and hatred, as if he was not going shopping, but going to the execution ground. Yuu Horita was also very despised: Don’t be born in blessings and don’t know how to be blessed, okay? If you really don’t want to, let go of that hand and let me do it!

To be fair, no matter how prosperous Dongpo Villa is, it is only the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty. Its architecture, environment and city appearance are not even comparable to that of an ordinary county town today. For example, Fanlou, known as the 72 restaurants in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty, where Emperor Fengli Song Huizong met with the famous Kyoto artist Li Shishi, was just a four-story brick and wood building. It is a common residential building that is so humid that it is a tall building that stands out in the past, and the entertainment center that is the most in the capital, which is enough to make the knowledgeable Li Shizhong shout "Youba"!

——Youba is a common slang that citizens of Bianliang express their appreciation.

Of course, there are shabby places and jaw-dropping luxury. For example, the three of them walked to the famous Fanlou at noon. As soon as they sat down, the waiter delivered a set of tableware handmade wine pots, wine bowls, plates, fruit and vegetable dishes, soup and vegetable bowls, etc. Jiang Shuiyuan weighed it and estimated that it would cost at least 100,000 yuan to create this set of tableware, which is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan now!

Yuuki Horita was also rubbing the silver plate of octagonal flower and bird patterns, and said as he was shocked: "The Song Dynasty is really amazing. He actually used silver to create a whole set of tableware! No wonder Marco Polo said in his travel notes that the East is a country full of gold. It is estimated that he was shocked by these tablewares full of gold and silver!"

Pu Xiaoxiang asked like a curious baby: "Why did the people of the Song Dynasty use silver? Are you afraid that someone will poison it?"

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled and said, "No money is needed, what should we use?"

"Of course it is made of ceramics!" Pu Xiaoxiang replied with confidence.

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded: "According to the literature, there were indeed many restaurants in the Song Dynasty who used Dingzhou white porcelain bottles and Yaozhou celadon bowls. However, for Fanlou, the world's first floor, these porcelains were slightly lower in grades. The porcelain produced by famous kilns such as Ru, Guan, Ge, and Jun is of high quality. However, as royal nobles, wealthy merchants and great merchants, they are generally used for decoration of the furnishings of their rooms, and they are not used as daily tableware. Moreover, the price is not cheap. A very ordinary bowl costs about 30 cents, and those famous porcelains are even more amazing. There is no limit! The key porcelain is still consumable and will break the edges at any time. If you encounter someone like Lutixia who is irritable, you will throw the discs and cups on the floor. The shop owner and the waiter will just cry!"

Yuu Horita also agreed: "It is true that silverware is stronger and more resistant to falling than porcelain. Even if it is broken, it will be completely renewed as soon as it is rebuilt and will not be reduced in slightest. But why not use copper?"

Pu Xiaoxiang quickly replied: "Because copper is easy to grow patina and has a smell of copper!"

Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help laughing: "The running water does not rot, and the door hinges do not rot. How can there be patina on the bronze ware that is often used? In fact, copper ware was relatively common in the Song Dynasty, but just now I said that because it is common, it is not possible to use big-name restaurants like Fanlou. Moreover, copper was a forbidden object in the Song Dynasty, mainly used to cast copper coins, and private transactions are strictly prohibited, especially for making utensils. As the emperor's feet, Fanlou in Shanzhi District, naturally would not be very rude to the world. Okay, order the dishes quickly!"

Yuu Horita was also a guest, so he ordered the dishes first. As a result, he was stunned when he opened the menu: "What are these?" (To be continued.)
