Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

Lai Fang, Madoka, and Arima walked happily in the street.Passing by a Wu clothing store, Lai Fang suddenly stopped, "Where are Mei's Wu clothing sold?"

Arima quickly replied, "It was sold at 'Echizenya' in [-]-chome, Honmachi, and I gave you the cash." Madoka patted the loincloth, indicating that the money had been collected.

"How much did you sell for?"

Ah Yuan knew that Lai Fang would ask, and she was not simply concerned about the price. Thinking about what she heard in the afternoon, her face was a little red, and she laughed and said, "Not much, it sold for 150 taels of silver."

"So much?" Lai Fang was surprised. She just wanted to know the approximate value. When it was appropriate, she could redeem it for Mei at her own discretion, because Mei wore that Wu suit, which looked really good.

Arima didn't understand what was going on, so he just lowered his head and gave Madoka a sneaky look.Ah Yuan stared back angrily, "That's too much? Arima doesn't understand the market, which is why people are deceived. Fortunately, the store is still quite disciplined and not too cruel, otherwise I would have to go to the door."

Ah Yuan saw Lai Fang give him a sideways glance, and casually pointed to a tea house, "Let's go and rest, let me tell you in detail, we also have to discuss what to do with the money."

The three of them took advantage of the trend and walked towards the place where the noren curtain was hung. The word "Key House" was written on it. On the wooden signboard next to it, there was an ingenious way of not writing the slogan they came to see all the way, but a portrait of a man.Lai Fang glanced at it. This is the famous Ukiyo-e painting in Japan. She is not familiar with literature and history, so she is quite interested in it.It's just that in the Ukiyo-e paintings she saw at that time, most of the paintings were women, because they were painted by men.Now men and women are reversed, most of the painters are women, and naturally most of the people in the paintings are men.

The man in this painting looks clear-cut and bright-eyed. In modern terms, he is a very good-looking and friendly idol.Her hair was combed, and she was wearing a light brown Wu suit, with a white single-sided undershirt embroidered with an orange wide border.The corners of the mouth are not raised but the eyebrows and eyes are smiling first, which makes people want to get close.This painting is rare in terms of technique, layout and coloring, and it is not ordinary, so it is hung at the door as a signboard.Along the way, Lai Fang has been amazed by the various signboards. Thinking about the prosperity of Tokyo seen on the Internet and TV, it turns out that it has already taken shape in this era.

"Tsk tsk, this is too good-looking. If there is such a man in the world, I will stalk him and marry him back home." A Yuan came closer and found the poster, tsk tsk said loudly.

"There is someone else who can see Ah Yuan, let's be master and servant, and I will definitely help you when the time comes." Lai Fang rarely saw Ah Yuan looking like spring, and encouraged him quickly.Modern photos can still be retouched, let alone portraits that fall on paper and are entirely up to people.

Arima also smiled and shook his head, thinking it was too fake, "If this is true, it can be listed as the first of the 'Minghe Three Beauties', and can be called the most beautiful man in Edo."

Ah Yuan was also happy, bent her eyes, and said with a smile, "Let's continue talking about this Wu suit. Master Mei's Wu suit is from Kyoto, but the material is worth a lot. The tailoring and embroidery are from Kyoto. The price keeps going up. Edo has always regarded the beauty of the top, and the clothes are all about Kyoto, so..." Her following words are self-evident, this is not only the Wufu itself, but also its manufacture The value accumulated in the process is like a big-name fashion, there must be a difference in the eyes of some people between the ones from France and those made in China.Almost at the door, Ah Yuan quickly took two steps forward and lifted the noren curtain for Lai Fang.

A burst of warm moisture hits the face, mixed with the faint smell of tea and refreshments, it is very heart-warming, no wonder the inside is overcrowded.Looking at it, more than a dozen tables were actually full, and there were no empty seats.There is only one person in the hall to greet. Fortunately, for tea, as long as there is water, there is no need for many waiters.

"So many people? Strange." Arima asked in confusion, while Arima touched the whip on her waist, subconsciously vigilant.Ordinarily, at this time, there should be more people in the bathhouse than in the tea house. After all, tea is also served in the bathhouse, and the price is much cheaper than that in the tea house. You can also chat with people, which is more convenient.

Lai Fang said, "Let's change to another company. He's not the only one." She has never felt that what makes people flock to something must be something good. Many times, people have a bit of a herd mentality.It's not necessarily because the tea in this shop is delicious, sometimes it's just that everyone comes here, so I should come here too.

"A Yuan?" Lai Fang saw that A Yuan was holding on to the warm curtain and froze there, with her mouth open in a daze. A Yuan is a delicate character, and it's rare to see her like this. Lai Fang turned around and wanted to tease her, but Also froze for a moment.

The waiter who was greeting the guests turned around and greeted them with a smile, "You are here!" He was familiar as if they were regular customers here, and the man stepped forward and bowed to them, "Sorry, there are too many people, I didn't greet well." Because of his approach, A Yuan took half a step back, and the wooden clogs stepped on Lai Fang's feet.Lai Fang cast a glance at Ah Yuan, then looked at the people, and asked, "Are there any seats left? The three of us."

The man replied smoothly, "It just so happens that a guest is about to leave. Wait a moment, everyone, and I'll go clean up." He walked lightly in the crowded room, as gracefully as a boat gliding on the water.He walked up to a table of guests and asked respectfully, "These fruits can be packed and taken home to eat. Can I pack them for you?"

He was asking a table of young female guests. From Lai Fang's angle, he could clearly see their surprised eyes, but then he blushed, and the leader hurriedly took out the money from his pocket, and said in a stumbling manner, "No, you don't need to look for it." Already." The man said politely, "Thank you for your patronage." When those guests left, their feet were light and their expressions on their faces were the same as those of Yuan.

The man neatly cleared the table and led the three of them to the table. "Three, we charge by seat here, tea and water are [-] cents per person, you can drink whatever you want." Lai Fang nodded, and said, "Then you just look at it, we just rest our feet and don't pay attention." The man bowed He bowed and turned to make tea.

Arima reached out and waved his hand in front of Madoka's eyes, and the latter said in a daze, "He, why did he come out of the painting?" It turned out that the waiter was the man in the painting, so it's no wonder Madoka reacted like this.This kind of sales method is very good, Lai Fang glanced at the customers in the store and thought to himself.Eighty percent of them came for this person's brand name, everyone has a love for beauty.

"Didn't you just say that if you really want to marry someone back home, don't act quickly. I think at least [-]% of the people in this store are interested in him." Lai Fang looked stiff, tongue was numb and said no Ah Yuan, who spoke, just thought it was funny.When, unexpectedly, you can see Ah Yuan speechless, it's so worth it.

"Say, what are you talking about?" Ah Yuan blushed, took a peek at the man kneeling beside the stove pouring water, stammered, his clenched hands were already wet.

"Ha." Lai Fang laughed out loud, "Just ask him if there is any fruit for sale here, we have to give it away anyway, buy it by the way, you give him money, he will naturally have a good impression of you."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's great to buy fruit."

"Madoka, don't even think about it, the fruit here must be more expensive than the ones in the store, so it's not suitable." Arima also saw the strangeness of Madoka, and teased.Every time he was educated by her, this guy is like a miser when it comes to money, he wants to break a penny into two flowers, but now he has climbed up the pole of his master, it is really a grudge.

"This, this~" Ah Yuan wrung her fingers in embarrassment. On the one hand, she felt that the topic given by the lady was good, and on the other hand, she felt that it was right to have a horse. She didn't realize that the two of them were making fun of her. shrewd.Lai Fang suppressed a smile, and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's related to Ah Yuan's life, so what is this little money?"

"Yes, yes, it's about me..." Madoka was no longer in the mood for chatting, and at this moment he realized that something was wrong, and seeing Miss and Arima holding back their laughter, he suddenly became a little annoyed. "You, you, you, you actually laughed at me, me~"

Just at this time, the man came over with a tray, put the tray on the ground, knelt down by their table, served them tea, and chatted with them familiarly, "What are you talking about, so happy, can you tell me too?" What?" He smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, which made people feel comfortable in his heart, if this smile was practiced, it would be professional enough.

"Buy, buy fruit, do you sell tea fruit here? I, we pack it." A Yuan put aside the embarrassment of being laughed at by others, picked up the words given by the young lady, and said stumblingly.

The man was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Yes, do you pack it now? Or take it away when you leave? Just arrived, are you going to leave? Didn't you say you want to rest?"

"Don't go, don't go, come first, pack four copies when you leave." Ah Yuan explained anxiously.Sure enough, the man gave him a big smile, and turned around to go.Lai Fang looked at Arima and asked, "Arima, what are the fastest-earning jobs in Edo, please introduce some to Ayuan. I think she will run out of money soon."

Arima couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Yes, master, just think a few things for her."

"Isn't this considered a business trip? I didn't want to buy it myself." Ah Yuan retorted, not showing the slightest timidity just now.

Lai Fang raised his eyebrows, looked around, and said, "I don't think this store is going well, it's crowded, there are a lot of people, and there are horses, let's find another place."

"Sit down, the tea is ready, you" Ah Yuan's eyes widened angrily, but seeing the two of them looking at her with smiles, swallowing the second half of the sentence, Nuonuo said, "Just sit down and finish drinking." Let's go, big deal, big deal~"

"What's the big deal?" Lai Fang put his arms on the low table and asked pressingly.With his legs spread apart, he lay down on the table in an unsightly manner and asked.

"It's a big deal, just don't buy fruits here, but, but, we have to eat the fruits we ordered here." Ah Yuan said reluctantly, still not forgetting to bargain.

"No promises, tsk tsk, this is the first impression." Lai Fang shook his head, and said, "Forget it, let's see it as master and servant. I will say this for you."

Ah Yuan glanced at Lai Fang, lowered his eyes, will that person be disappointed, what if he shows a sad expression, just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable.Lai Fang is also feeling uncomfortable now. After all, they have been close to each other for two years. After seeing each other for a few minutes, Ah Yuan's heart is like this, and she feels sour.

Therefore, when the man brought the tea fruit again, Lai Fang deliberately said, "Here...we think"

Ah Yuan quickly raised her head, looked at Lai Fang with pleading eyes, and pursed her lips.Lai Fang took it back with bad intentions, lost to Ah Yuan, and said, "We want to know your name."

The man smiled and said without hesitation, "Everyone calls me A-Xian, so you can call me that too." He offered good fruit and chatted with them enthusiastically.Lai Fang, who is usually reticent, repeatedly asked questions, all of which were natural, but a few words gave a general idea of ​​Ah Xian's situation.Ah Yuan looked at the young lady in shock, what a talent!It's a pity that this kind of person doesn't need to inquire about intelligence.Miss, you really never chased after boys, really?Youma also wondered that dealing with people and making friends was her weakness. Although she improved a little later, she still resisted dealing with strangers from the bottom of her heart.The master's usual taciturnity is all pretending, right?

No matter how good Xianrao was able to chat, Lai Fang couldn't keep up with his questions.Many of the customers in the store are interested in him, and he has seen this kind of strike up a lot, and he is used to dealing with it.But there are very few people like this one who ask questions one by one so calmly, without stumbling at all.Especially under what he thought was a gentle gaze, this person actually kept asking questions, really, alas.It just so happened that there was a table of guests who wanted to leave, so he seized the opportunity and hurriedly left, never wanting to walk away from this table easily.

A Yuan was sullen and wanted to blame the lady, but she couldn't say anything, and couldn't find an excuse.After drinking the tea like this, carrying the four pieces of fruit as a housewarming gift, he followed Laifa and Arima and walked away.

It was already dark when they came out of the tea house.They were on the east side of the river, and their residence was on the west side of the river, and there was still a long way to go to the bridge.Seeing many awning boats parked along the river with red lanterns hanging on them, Lai Fang immediately thought of taxis.She asked Arima, "Can we cross the river directly by boat?" Arima looked at it in embarrassment, and said, "It's better not to, this boat, this boat won't go, let's go back on foot."

"Isn't it a ferry boat?" She was wondering, when she saw a man and a woman coming out of one of the small boats, the woman stuffed a handful of money into the man's arms, and touched it with the opportunity, the two pushed and twisted a little Next, we will separate.After the woman left, the man opened his open underwear further, smoothed his hair with his hands, and began to scan the river bank with his eyes.

Lai Fang naturally knew what the boat was for, and left quickly.Arima followed closely, while Madoka was half a step behind, obviously absent-minded.Lai Fang looked at the boats with red lanterns parked on the river bank, and sighed, this, this must be so much demand.
