Like Mitsuhide Akechi, Hanbei Takenaka would not make any assertions about the retainers of the Oda family without solid evidence.

Even though Saburo has always had an unusual trust in Akechi Mitsuhide, but for other retainers, Saburo undoubtedly gives straightforward trust - but this kind of trust is only trust in retainers.Although Hanbei Takenaka did not do anything famous in the Oda family, even the past of capturing Inabayama Castle (Gifu Castle) has faded with the passage of time. Hashiba Hideyoshi was tied together, and he also relied on his rare acumen to become one of Saburo's trusted people-only in terms of trust in people who are retainers, Takenaka Hanbei can be ranked in the top of Saburo's heart How many.

But unlike Mitsuhide Akechi who deliberately restrained himself because he understood how precious Saburo's faith was, Hanbei Takenaka seemed to be born with an element of forbearance and composure, but this forbearance and composure was not his restraint on himself, but rather A great support that allows him to deliver a critical strike at the perfect time.

Even if he faintly realized that Hashiba Hideyoshi's purpose this time was not just for the tea party, the other party, Gifu and Azuchi both had eyeliners that were not used for sending battle reports. Hashiba Hideyoshi's suspicions can be told to Akechi Mitsuhide, but not Saburo - even if he has never let go of his vigilance against Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Therefore, it is the same as the truth about the assassination of Saburo at Chikusa Ridge a few years ago that he still doubted even though he concealed his guess. When it comes to utensils, it is only about Uesugi Kenshin.

After Sanlang listened, he nodded solemnly: "Then you will be back soon!"

Hanbei Takenaka: "..."

"I don't know what his tiger looks like - it's too big to be easy to hold. After the tea party is over, let them go and bring it back. Thanks for telling me, Hanbei!"

Although I don't know where Saburo's attention went, Takenaka Hanbei did an excellent job of reminding Saburo about Uesugi.

One day passed quickly, and the next day, Saburo held a New Year's tea party just as he said.

Because the tea party was very hasty from decision to execution, most of the members participating in the tea party this time were retainers who came to Azuchi to pay Saburo New Year's greetings.At the last tea party, although Mikazuki Munekin's ninja identity was tacitly concealed by his retainers, but Saburo himself showed his dislike for the tea party at that time, but everyone knew it well of.Regarding the tea party that San Lang took the initiative to bring up this time, the retainers have completely lost the comfort and touch of the last time that San Lang finally wanted to pursue Fengya, and replaced it with a lingering, vague premonition.

Sen Rikyu is still tea head this time - this is a place where they can barely feel at ease.

... Although Sen Rikyu still took on such an important role, it was actually because Saburo didn't know what the tea head was for.

No matter what mood they had, the retainers finally sat down silently under Saburo's interested gaze.

"Although I said I would hold a tea party, I've only seen tea parties in anime—so I managed to hold something similar."

Perhaps it was because what he was going to do next had something to do with the era he had been in. Saburo seemed very interested, his pair of eyes that were raised up and as clear as mirrors shone brightly, and his expression brought out a little bit of the cruel cruelty in the Warring States Period. The relaxed and pure childishness that has not disappeared after many years of war.

Next to him was Sen Rikyu, but sitting on the other side was Guidie, who should not have appeared on this occasion, and who was still surprisingly beautiful.Although she was taken out many times by Saburo in the name of "dating", Guidie is still a woman who has received the traditional education of this era. Covering the lower half of his face with his sleeves, he still looked at Saburo with confidence.

"It would be nice if there was a girl's high school uniform for you to wear...but you can't force it here." To Gui Die who didn't know whether it was sincere or just a little complaint, San Lang turned to Lan beside him seriously. Maru ordered, "Bring up the tea set first!"

"...Yes!" Mori Ranmaru, who was still young, couldn't help showing a weird expression, but he still accepted Saburo's order seriously, and trotted back.Soon, the maids and the surnames all filed in and placed the so-called "tea sets" in front of the retainers one by one.

...Looking at the plates and bowls in front of them, the retainers fell into a deep silence.

"Your Highness, didn't you say it's a tea set?" Although he is Oda's number one general, Shibata Katsuie, who knows a lot about tea tasting, couldn't help but said, "Why didn't you see these plates and bowls on the tea set... Is there any banquet after the tea party?"

"This is the tea set." Sanlang didn't blink, and confidently called these dishes and bowls "tea sets". Both the bowl and the bowl are small, so let’s replace it.”

Shibata Katsuie said incomprehensibly: "If it's tea tasting, didn't His Highness order Seto to produce tea bowls? Why do you put the bowls for eating here?"

Unexpectedly, Saburo was even more inexplicable than him, and asked in doubt: "The tea bowl of Seto is made very big—isn't it just for eating?"

Retainers: "..."

Eating with tea bowls, tasting tea with rice bowls... Yes, today's Saburo, for the first time in a long time, made everyone feel the power of the title of "Owari Idiot" that was once crowned on the head of the former governor of the Oda family for several years.

Although the tea party at this time is called a "meeting", in fact there is only one bowl of tea for the people present to drink in turn.Facing the rice bowl and dish in front of them, even if the bowl is placed on the plate, which is different from the way they are eating, it is difficult for the retainers to associate this kind of thing with the "tea party" they are familiar with.Those who can pay New Year’s greetings to Saburo during the New Year are all relatively important retainers and outsiders of the Oda family. They have either already felt Saburo’s willfulness more or less, or they are still attached to Saburo and dare not leave. Therefore, even though they were full of suspicion, in front of San Lang, these people could only look at each other in blank dismay, watching San Lang happily start the so-called tea party alone.

Conscious that the "tea set" has been set, Saburo began to proceed to the next step.

The charcoal fire had already been ignited in the cooler, and the rare tea kettle that could be hung on it with the "tea party" seemed to be normal except that it was a bit too big.The tea kettle, which looks ordinary and not of high value, was filled with a pot of water, which was probably prepared earlier. At this moment, there was a faint white mist floating out of the mouth of the pot, which was a sign that it was about to boil.Under the blank gazes of his retainers, Saburo completely ignored Sen Rikyu who was supposed to be responsible for making tea. He stared at the tea kettle with piercing eyes. Quickly cover!

This action is simple and rude, completely disregarding the integrity and quantity of tea leaves.But judging from the timing of the shot alone, Saburo did not disappoint him at all in choosing Qian Rikyu as the tea head!

At least Sen no Rikyu, who was about to get the tea leaves, was stunned by Saburo's unexpected move.

The retainers also looked at San Lang with a blank expression for a few seconds with a solemn expression.Before crossing, people drank tea drinks more than drinking tea. Even if there were occasions where tea was needed to entertain guests, there were tea bags that were divided into small bags in advance. The 44-year-old Saburo did not know how to make such a pot (Actually, it should be called a pot in terms of capacity.) He grasped how much tea leaves and how much time the tea needs, and then hastily equated brewing tea with instant noodles in 3 minutes.

After counting to 180 very seriously, Saburo rolled up his sleeves, picked up the tea kettle with his own hands, and poured the dark-colored tea inside into the rice bowls in front of the retainers one by one.

I no longer understand why the tea party was distorted into such an appearance, and the retainers didn’t know what to do other than staring at the dark brown tea in front of them—even if it was to watch Saburo condescend to pour the tea himself For their own sake, it is impossible for them to refuse this bowl of "tea" that runs counter to the tea they know.But for them to drink it immediately, it will take a while to prepare mentally.

Let Saburo preside over the tea party, it really is a disaster.

In fact, he was very serious about getting closer to the only slight impression of the tea party in his memory. After pouring tea for everyone, Saburo consciously restored it to be flawless, so he simply put down the tea kettle with half of the tea still in it, and continued to call Lan Wan completed the next step: "Sweet steamed buns should be enough, now serve them."

Even at a young age, Ranmaru knew that sweet steamed buns were not a must for a tea party—at least not this time.However, as a surname who wholeheartedly worships Saburo, he has no other choice but to execute the order, so after a few minutes of silence, the maids and surnames finally re-entered under the increasingly frightened eyes of the retainers, and put the The sweet steamed buns and sugar water on the plate were placed in front of the retainers one by one.

"There are no cakes and biscuits, so let's use this instead." Saburo said solemnly, "Although I originally wanted to find milk for everyone to add to the tea, but there is no way to get so much milk in such a short time-now It's not the season for milk production. The sugar water should be about the same."

Retainers: "..."

Shibata Katsuie, the number one veteran of the Oda family, also had a serious expression on his face at this moment.He moved his lips, and finally said reluctantly: "...Although I don't know why you came up with this way of making tea, please leave it to Mr. Qian Rixiu for the next tea party."

"Hey, is that so?" Saburo said, "I don't know much about the tea parties here, so if I were to do it, afternoon tea would be more convenient—I think it should be pretty good. Right Hideyoshi?"

It can be regarded as the chief culprit of the innocent disaster of the Oda family's retainers this time. Hashiba Hideyoshi looked quietly at the brown tea mixed with some broken tea leaves in front of him and the sugar water that was said to be added next to him. When Saburo called his name, He raised his head almost immediately, revealing a flattering and honest smile that looked a little funny.

Of course he doesn't know the tea ceremony as Xiang Saburo claims - it should be said that this is because he was born in a humble background. When Hashiba Hideyoshi was trying to win Asai's original retainers to his side when he was developing his own power in Omi, he was in this category. Spent some work on things.Seeing Saburo's chaotic "tea party", Hashiba Hideyoshi even felt that the other party was deliberately making fun of him.

But he did not forget what he claimed in front of Saburo that he "doesn't understand tea ceremony", so after showing a smile, he also shyly revealed his shortcomings in front of many retainers: "I don't understand such elegant things-if It’s not His Highness’s permission, I’ve never been in contact with this before. The tea party is really a profound occasion, Mr. Shibata and Mr. Niwa think they will be more touched.”

"It's okay, because this kind of tea will be simpler-although generally speaking, girls should account for more people. A group of girls surrounds a boy or something...But it can't be done. " Saburo said from the bottom of his heart, "It's not bad to have such an experience once in a while."

He spoke to himself.

"Hasebe and the others can't attend here, and we will do it again with them later-just enough to count Xiaoguang who was not able to participate this time. Let them relax before going to Echigo."

No, no, this can't be considered relaxation, it should be considered murder in a sense.Saburo.

In the last chapter, the little angel guessed that 23333 is indeed a western-style afternoon tea—but it is the kind in the animation.It is the kind that drinks black tea in a teacup, adds sugar and milk, and has small snacks such as cakes and cookies.

Then the teacups were replaced with rice bowls.Milk was replaced with sugar water.Cake cookies are replaced with sweet steamed buns.Simply perfect, no problems.

Suddenly died laughing.jpg

Hideyoshi, are you surprised?Not surprisingly!Do you feel moved!

Most of the content about the tea party in this chapter (the Warring States Period) is based on my speculation based on some historical events.For example, there is tea in a tea bowl, and everyone takes turns to drink tea. This is the case of "he drank a sip of tea, but others were afraid of getting sick, and only Ishida Mitsunari drank it". Speculate on the type of tea party at that time.Not guaranteed to be correct.As for the tea soup, I also think it should be more similar to the tea soup of the Tang Dynasty, that is, a pot of tea with many things (even mutton) added, and it is also not guaranteed to be correct.

If it doesn't match the history, I will set it up privately, hehehe.
