Chapter 31 White Porcelain and Going Out
Tachibana Masakazu walked up to the daimyo with a box, knelt down to pay his respects, then opened the box and revealed the contents.
(Because Zhenghe is still a white man, he has to perform a grand ceremony)
"This item is called porcelain, and it is presented to your majesty."
The daimyo waved his hand and asked the waiters beside him to bring up the box.
After taking a look at the porcelain in the box, Daming was overjoyed.
He kept praising Tachibana Jihei for having a successor.
He reached out his hand and took out a wine glass from the box, caressing it lovingly, and immediately ordered the chef to remove the dishes, rearrange the dishes with porcelain tableware, and then serve them up again.
The officials sitting below stared at the wine glasses placed in front of the daimyo's table with their eyes wide open.
This cup is as smooth as jade, with a smooth shape, and seems to emit a faint moonlight.
The material looks like jade but it is not jade, and it looks even more radiant in the candlelight.
What a nice view!
It happened that the maid had replaced the wine jug with a porcelain one. The daimyo took a sip of the wine in the glass with satisfaction and motioned the maid to come and pour the wine.
The graceful maid held the pot in her bare hands, and the delicate surface made her slender white fingers look rough.
When the dishes were served in porcelain plates of different sizes and brought to the daimyo, the steam from the dishes made the eyes of the civil and military officials red.
Civil and military officials: We want it!
At the same time, my heart is bleeding.
Look, look!
With this set, just for serving the dishes, you need plates of different sizes. Big dishes need large plates, small dishes need small plates, and mixed dishes need medium plates.
The dipping sauce should be served in a small dish.
If you can find a house full of gold in it, it would truly be a house full of gold and jade.
Not to mention that there are still unused bowls, which are divided into rice bowls, noodle bowls, and soup bowls.
Not to mention cups, big cups, small cups, wine glasses, and tea cups.
If you have cups, you must have a pot to match them. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have a circle of porcelain cups with a rough ceramic pot in the middle.
You can't have only one set. If you accidentally break one of them and have to replace it with a ceramic utensil, others will probably laugh at your poor family.
But this porcelain thing is really beautiful! It looks really good when placed together!
Even the cooking skills of the chefs, which we used to be tired of seeing and eating, seemed so different.
Some officials with good literary talent raised their glasses and recited poems on the spot, praising the luxury of the banquet and saying they had never seen such fine utensils before. Then they praised the achievements of the daimyo last year, saying that he cared about the world and loved the people.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire enjoyed the envious looks of his subjects. Before the banquet was over, he summoned Masakazu Tachibana to the position of Minister of Civil Affairs, to serve under Shihei Tachibana.
……
After the spring hunting banquet, Tachibana Jie Shihei always received letters secretly handed to him by his colleagues.
The question is, where did this thing come from?
Can we find a way to get them one too?
Some smart people, thinking about Tachibana Masakazu's background, had already contacted Uchiha.
As for the Uchiha, they did not open a store in the capital as they did with other commodities. Instead, they occupied the cave where Kurama used to live, sent people to guard the porcelain clay there, and built a kiln on the spot.
Only those who can find them can buy porcelain from them.
This style of not advertising to the outside world and focusing on craftsmanship attracted even more nobles.
This is the true spirit of craftsmanship!
------
Ever since Uchiha Tajima clearly said during his last birthday that he would let Kyojuro go out with the clan's caravan for some training, Kyojuro has been looking forward to that day coming soon.
Tajima thought it was fun and deliberately did not tell Kyojuro about the follow-up arrangements. Instead, he arranged everything and even wrote a letter to Kumono's eldest son.
"Kyojuro."
"Uncle Grandpa!"
Can I go out now!
There was a flicker in Kyojuro's big eyes, and the words in them made Tajima feel a little guilty.
Tajima even wondered if Kyojuro had opened his eyes.
"Banara wrote you a letter, do you want to read it?"
"want!"
In the letter, Uchiha Madara briefly talked about his recent play with the Two-Tails in the Land of Lightning, and also encountered the Eight-Tails, but the Eight-Tails was not good-looking, so he did not challenge it.
This part only takes up half a page of letter paper, and the following three pages of letter paper are all about things to pay attention to when going out.
Including but not limited to what clothes and shoes to wear in which country or region, what weapons and food to prepare, how much money to bring, the money must be exchanged into copper coins before it can be spent, and also some strange tips such as when entering the Water Kingdom and encountering waterlogged stalls, you must first ask your fellow tribesmen to blow a fire escape.
Kyojuro happily wrote them down one by one, and also got a glimpse of some of the strange situations that Uncle Madara himself encountered outside.
For example, in this fire escape technique that was performed towards a puddle, Uncle Madara must have met someone from the Kizuna family on the way.
Tajima asked, "Why are you laughing all the time? Did Madara mention Kurama's embarrassing things in the letter again?"
To be honest, Tajima couldn't figure out whether the relationship between the tailed beasts was good or bad. The letters that Madara had sent back before always contained content about Kurama fighting with which tailed beast.
Kyojuro put the letter away solemnly, "No, Uncle, Uncle Madara is telling me some tips for going out."
This is a reflection of his family's love for him.
However, Kyojuro recalled the scene when his uncle went out on a mission for the first time when he was a child, and he always felt that if he went out, he would most likely meet Uncle Madara who was passing by on the road.
"Oh," Tajima said casually as he stood up and was about to leave.
"You will set off with Qing and the others in a week."
! ! ! !
"Great!!!!"
……
The next day, the friends who got the news blocked the door of the clan leader's house.
"Kyojuro! You're going to go on a mission! Go wherever you want!"
Uchiha Jin is going to the capital with his mother
"To the Land of Thunder."
"I want to go too! Why can't I go with you!"
Uchiha Xue received the mission to go to Ishikawa Castle.
"I want nice souvenirs!"
“I want to come next year…”
Uchiha You is a few months younger than them, so he is simply considered a year younger by the clan.
"Kyojuro, remember to think about us!"
"Are there any specialties from the Land of Thunder?"
They were talking at once, some envious of Kyojuro for being able to leave the clan and become an adult, and some wanted to go with Kyojuro.
In the end, he had to stay at the clan leader's house for lunch, and then took a nap together with Kyojuro before leaving.
Haoyi joked, "Well, my son is really popular. He will definitely have no trouble finding a wife in the future."
------
A week later, everyone set out from Uchiha.
Although the Uchiha no longer accepts missions, he still wants to take the child out to broaden his horizons. Fortunately, there are many caravans in the tribe, and each team only has one child.
The team leaders are all experts in Three Magatama and Mangekyō who have retired from the battlefield. Although they may encounter setbacks, their lives will never be in danger.
The caravan that Kyojuro followed was led by Uchiha Ao.
The first mission that Izuna undertook was also led by Uchiha Qing, but before that he was guarding others, but now he was guarding Uchiha's own things.
This time they were going to the Land of Thunder.
In order to deliver the things that the Sixth Elder needed, they didn't know what they were exactly. The things were packed by people from the agricultural department and Grandma Huizi, and when they were handed over to them, there was only a large scroll.
In addition, there are the usual pea flour and corn grits, and Mrs. Mikiko's cabbage and corn soup recipe must be delivered to Uchiha in the Land of Lightning.
When Kyojuro gets there, he might need to summon a few special plants.
When he first left the clan, Kyojuro was quite excited. After all, he had been in this world for six years, and except for the time when he was taken to Granny Cat's house by his uncle, he had never left the clan.
The trip to Kurama’s cave doesn’t count, after all, that place has now been incorporated into the Uchiha’s territory.
There were several carriages in the caravan, and the speed was not slow. Kyojuro looked around curiously for the whole morning.
Qing teased him, "Aren't you tired of watching it after a whole morning?"
"no!"
It was the spring plowing season, and wherever Kyojuro looked, he saw farmers working hard and the scene was full of vitality. He never got tired of seeing this scene no matter when.
At noon, everyone found a place with water to rest. There was also a small shed and stove that Uchiha had built earlier in the resting place.
"After all, this road is a frequently traveled road, and the tribe knows which places are suitable for resting."
Other caravans can rest here, but they must clean up before leaving.
The Uchiha clan skillfully made a fire and cooked. The lunch which had a slight picnic feel made Kyojuro once again impressed by the attentiveness and strength of his clan.
Even a place like this can be considered. Anyone who has used this place will be grateful to Uchiha.
……
On the fourth day after leaving the tribal land, they officially left the village and entered the wilderness.
Before, they could pass by cultivated fields, but now they could only see weeds.
"We are almost at the border, everyone please be careful!"
Uchiha Qing reminded the team members and began to teach Kyojuro,
"There are only grass and shorter shrubs on the land here, which means that there should have been a village here before. The land was also cultivated, but it was abandoned because of the war."
Even though the country has been much more peaceful in recent years, the scattered villagers have not returned. They probably stayed in the local area to continue reproducing and living.
Kyojuro sighed, which made Uchiha Ao laugh.
"You are so young, why are you sighing like an old man?"
Kyojuro just felt a little blocked in his heart. It should be because he felt sad about the abandoned village, or maybe there was something else, but he himself couldn't figure it out.
"If only they could be like the tribe."
The big Uchiha who was driving next to him also laughed.
"Kyojuro, little guy, you think too simply. Not to mention as good as the Uchiha, even the village we passed by yesterday is considered to be relatively good in the country. Once you go abroad, there will be more places like today."
"why?"
Kyojuro really didn't understand. They, Rengoku, had always been retainers of the Ubuyashiki clan and had always focused on slaying demons. Even though they knew that the political power in the country changed frequently, they were not personally involved and did not have a deep understanding of it.
Not to mention his generation of purgatory, the country has been at peace for a long time, and he has long forgotten what war is.
(It was after the Meiji Restoration that the Meiji Emperor of Japan organized the anti-shogunate forces to defeat the Tokugawa shogunate and established a unified centralized country, which removed obstacles for the development of capitalism. The Japanese mainland as a whole entered a period of peaceful development, and the war was directed outside the island. By the time Kyojuro was born, the Japanese mainland had been at peace for nearly 40 years.)
Uchiha Qing's tone was full of pride, "Because the Uchiha are powerful, only the strong can control their own destiny."
After looking at Kyojuro's blank eyes, he changed his words.
"Because our tribe is good at fighting, no one dares to invade our tribe, so our tribe can develop peacefully. If we were weaker, we would be forced to wander around."
"understand?"
Kyojuro frowned, "Maybe?"
"Hahaha, it's okay if you don't understand. You're still young," Uchiha Qing patted Kyojuro's head and changed the subject.
"We'll be entering the Land of Fields soon. There aren't as many trees there as at home, but there is a special straw weaving craft. Maybe I'll come across it later."
……
Soon, they crossed the border and entered the Land of Fields.
As soon as he entered, Kyojuro was keenly aware of the difference between the Land of Fields and the Land of Fire. All he could see were low hills. Although there were trees, they were not as tall as the trees in the Land of Fire. The woods on the roadside were sparse, and it seemed that a few human figures flashed by.
Kyojuro quickly told Uchiha Ao that he had found someone. Before Uchiha Ao could say anything, the Uchiha driving the carriage exclaimed in surprise.
"Little guy, you have good observation skills."
Uchiha Qing said soothingly, "Relax, it's okay, we are all acquaintances."
As soon as he finished speaking, the caravan was stopped by someone.
The man with the machete came closer and saw the Uchiha family crest engraved on the frame of the vehicle, as well as the pairs of scarlet Sharingans in the team. He bowed with an apologetic smile and waved his hand to signal the people around him to disperse.
Uchiha Qing didn't get out of the car either. He reached into his arms and took out a purse. He also asked his tribesmen to unload a bag of pea powder from the frame and threw them to the other party.
The people who received the things stood there and waved to the caravan. Kyojuro looked back and they seemed to still be smiling.
"Uncle Qing, what were those just now?"
The Uchiha driving the carriage threatened, "They are highway robbers! Are you afraid, Kyojuro?"
Kyojuro shook his head, "I'm not afraid! But why?"
This was the first time that Kyojuro had seen such a polite robber. In his previous life, the robbers he had encountered would let him go as soon as they saw the knife in his hand and the aura of a martial artist.
But they won't let the caravan go.
"Why give us money and food? This is a convenience for all. They didn't stop us, so we have to let them make some money. After all, they usually maintain this road."
The Uchiha who was on his way interrupted,
"Brother Qing, Kyojuro is asking why they let us go so easily, right? Of course it's because they can't beat us."
He tilted his head and showed his Sharingan.
"With more than a dozen pairs of Sharingan in our team, the Thousand Hands don't dare to fight us head-on. They are just ordinary people with some strength, so of course they don't dare to do it."
