When Sakai Hoshino heard Liu Mingzhi's compliments, a sincere smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Thank you Mr. Liu for your compliment. Hoshino will definitely keep up the good work."
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand and pushed the four plates of snacks on the low table in front of the mother and daughter.
"Hoshino, I remember that when you and your brother Kazuko Sakai lived in Honglu Temple more than ten years ago, you liked Tailong's snacks very much.
Today you and I meet again by chance, and I don't have time to prepare anything. I just treat these snacks as my thoughts. I hope you won't dislike this young master's poor hospitality. "
Sakai Hoshino saw the four plates of melon and fruit snacks that Mr. Liu pushed in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but slide his throat twice. His foodie attributes were directly exposed.
Liu Mingzhi saw Sakai Hoshino's reaction, and the smile that rose at the corner of his mouth disappeared in a flash.
It seems that what he expected was good. Although Sakai Hoshino is nearly twenty years older than she was then, her nature as a foodie has not changed much with the increase of time.
"Watermelon, candied fruit, osmanthus cake, walnut cake, it has been almost twenty years since Hoshino left Dalong last time, and he has never eaten these unique specialties of Dalong again.
Mr. Liu, are you preparing these for Hoshino? "
Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded, picked up a piece of watermelon that was already quite common in Dalong and handed it to Sakai Hoshino.
"Of course, these are the snacks I prepared for you, Hoshino.
Since Hoshino, you haven’t eaten Dalong’s delicacies for many years, then try it quickly and recall the original taste. "
Sakai Hoshino hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his cuffs and wiped his very clean hands, then took the watermelon from Liu Mingzhi's hand with a smile.
"Thank you Mr. Liu, Hoshino is welcome."
"Hehehe, I'm a guest from afar, no need to be polite, just eat quickly."
Sakai Hoshino did not immediately taste the delicacy he had not seen for many years. Instead, he turned to look at his daughter Hanaki Sakuraori, who was staring at the watermelon in his hand and swallowing silently.
Seeing the curious and eager look in his daughter's spiritual eyes, Sakai Hoshino looked at Young Master Liu with an embarrassed expression.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino's daughter has never eaten watermelon. Can Hoshino let her eat it first?"
"Hoshino, just eat yours. There is still a lot of watermelon on the plate. If Sakurazhi wants to eat, I can just give her another piece.
These snacks are prepared for you mother and daughter, both of you have a share. "
"Yes, thank you very much Mr. Liu, Hoshino, you're welcome."
"Eat it. If it's not enough, I'll have someone prepare it for you."
"Yeah, yeah, Mr. Liu is still as good as before, so I'll taste it first."
Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece of watermelon from the plate and handed it to the little girl Hua Qiyingzhi.
"Sakura, how about you try the watermelon too."
Hua Qiyingzhi looked down at the watermelon in Liu Mingzhi's hand, smiled sweetly at him, and then carefully took the watermelon.
"Sakura, thank you sir."
"You're welcome, come and eat quickly, there's still more if it's not enough."
Hua Qiyingzhi glanced at her mother eating watermelon, then lifted the watermelon and put it into her mouth in a similar manner.
After tasting the watermelon, Hua Qiyingzhi immediately narrowed her eyes, and her clear eyes curved into crescent moons.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Hua Qiyingzhi's quiet and well-behaved appearance, gently turned the ring on his thumb and sighed in his heart.
In terms of appearance and personality alone, this little girl is a good candidate to be a daughter-in-law.
It's a pity that this little girl is from Japan.
To be honest, Liu Mingzhi would be somewhat reluctant to choose a Japanese woman as his daughter-in-law.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino has finished eating."
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and looked at the embarrassed Sakai Hoshino who picked up a piece of watermelon again and handed it over.
"If you still want to eat, go ahead and eat. As long as you like to eat, I will take care of it."
"Then Hoshino is welcome. Thank you very much Mr. Liu."
Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. He rested his arms on the armrests of the lounge chair and lingered on the mother and daughter for a moment.
"Hoshino."
"Jun Liu, what's wrong?"
"Hoshino, it has been almost twenty years since you and your brother Kazuko Sakai last left Dalong, right?"
"Liu Jun is right, it has been almost twenty years."
"Time flies so fast, almost twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"In the words of your dragon, it should be a fleeting moment, and time flies by. Mr. Liu, is Hoshino right this time?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! It seems that I still underestimate you, Hoshino. Your Chinese foundation is very solid!
I'm curious. You have been in Japan for more than ten years, so you rarely use Dalong's Chinese, right? How do you keep your Chinese so good? "
Sakai Hoshino put the watermelon rind on the table, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the juice from the corners of his lips.
"You don't know something, Mr. Liu. In fact, when Xingye was in Japan these years, he spent most of his time speaking Chinese.
And it’s not just Hoshino himself who speaks Chinese, Hoshino is also the Chinese teacher of many Japanese people.
So after so many years, Hoshino's Chinese has not deteriorated, but he can speak it better than before. "
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, leaned forward and handed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Sakai Hoshino's hand.
"From what you said, Hoshino, are there many people in Japan studying Chinese?"
"Liu Jun is right. There are indeed a lot of people learning Chinese in Japan now.
On the one hand, it is because of our Japanese country sending dragon envoys, and on the other hand, it is because of the Dalong fleet. "
"Large Dragon Fleet?"
"Yes, the dragon's fleet."
Liu Mingzhi thought for a moment and immediately realized what was going on.
What Sakai Hoshino said was most likely related to the fact that this boy Jiang He led the dragon fleet to trade in the Japanese country of Nagasaki.
"Hoshino, are you talking about the dragon fleet conducting trade in your Japanese country of Nagasaki?"
"Yes, that's right. After the Japanese people in Nagasaki saw how powerful Dalong was, many young people tried their best to learn Dalong's Chinese.
Because only by learning Dalong Chinese can they seize the opportunity when trading with the Dalong fleet.
After many Japanese people in Nagasaki learned Chinese, they could make a lot of money every time the dragon fleet passed by Nagasaki.
It is not a secret that the people of Nagasaki got rich after the arrival of the Dairyu fleet. It has been widely spread in Japan over the years.
After Hoshino and his brother returned to the Japanese country, many people in the Japanese country knew that we had returned from the Dalong Celestial Dynasty, so they all came to learn Chinese from us.
However, except for his brother and Hoshino, most of the envoys in the mission did not speak Chinese very well.
If they themselves can't say it well, how can they teach others!
The elder brother was busy with family affairs, so those Japanese people who came to study became Hoshino's students.
More than ten years have passed, and Hoshino's students have spread all over the country of Japan, and now there are almost more than 100,000 people. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression, picked up the teacup and put it into his mouth with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"congratulations.
Hoshino, you can be regarded as the pioneer of a sect in the Japanese country. In the words of our Dalong, you can be regarded as the originator of a generation. "
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for the compliment."
"It's not a compliment, Hoshino, you deserve it."
