At night, there is a nameless tavern in Changzhou.
The tavern is very small, with only four tables in the room. The boss and the waiter are alone, and his wife is always in the kitchen and doesn't show up often.
But this is where Aso Taro often comes.
First, it’s quiet here. Taro Aso likes to drink alone. And secondly, it's very clean. Whenever you come, the tables here have been wiped clean without any oil stains, and the boss is also very clean. He wears a white apron every day. If there is oil stains, he will put on another one immediately.
Of course, the prices of things here are higher than elsewhere, so some people who work hard are not willing to come here.
Therefore, this place became a place where Taro Aso often visited.
And today, he invited Kitashirakawa Ai, and Kitashirakawa Ai also liked it very much. Because he is also a person who doesn't like making noise.
He grew up in a royal family, had a lot of social activities, and had many people who fawned over him. Kitashirakawa is very impatient with this kind of entertainment.
Therefore, Taro Aso chose this place to his liking. And he kicked out all his guards, leaving only him and Taro Aso sitting in the tavern, waiting for the boss to serve food.
At this time, Kitashirakawa asked: "Aso-kun also encountered Dano?"
Taro Aso replied: "Yes, although I only glanced at it from a distance, I have confirmed that that person is Danwu. He is very young and leads the way. I saw Honda's head chopped off by him with my own eyes. .
Perhaps Honda still thought it was reinforcements at the time, right? It's really ridiculous that he couldn't even distinguish between reinforcements and the enemy, and he still blamed me for his death in the end. "
Kitashirakawa said: "So, the only person who can understand Aso-kun is me. I have an interesting thing, Aso-kun, do you want to get involved?"
Taro Aso quickly bowed and said, "Senior, if you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."
Kitashirakawa said with a smile: "Aso-kun, don't be so formal. We are friends, and we will be comrades fighting side by side in the future. I have already dispatched a hunting team from the mainland, specifically for the Dragon Boat Festival. Are you interested, Aso-kun?" "
Taro Aso said with a smile: "I wish for it."
Kitashirakawa laughed loudly: "Hahaha, with Aso-kun joining us, our hunting will definitely be successful, hahaha!"
"Taijun, the dishes you want have arrived. This is stir-fried large intestine with hot pepper, and this is stir-fried lamb kidney. This is beef belly, and this is pig tripe. They are all here. Also, this is the aged old white dried pork you asked for. In addition to grain brewing, some special alcohol imported from abroad is also added to improve the quality of the wine. Please use it with caution."
At this moment, the boss brought the dishes. There were four dishes in total and a bottle of Laobaigan.
Taro Aso was very happy and waved his hand to let the boss go. He put the dishes on the table, poured wine for Kitashirakawa, and said: "Kawarai-senpai, these dishes are very filling, and we can't eat them in Japan." Yes. And this wine has a very strong taste. I heard it is 60 degrees. When you drink it, you will feel a spicy sensation in your throat. It is very strange."
"Shaoji, I really didn't expect that these things can be eaten. I have never eaten pig intestines. I heard that he is pretending to be a daddy."
Kitashirakawa picked up a piece of pig intestine and was very surprised.
Taro Aso smiled and said: "Senior, I also disliked it very much at first, but after eating it, I can't forget the taste. Try it. Although it smells bad, it tastes delicious."
"Youhe, then I'll start."
Kitashirakawa threw the pork intestine into his mouth with chopsticks and tasted it carefully. Yes, it smells stinky, but it tastes delicious.
"Hahaha, very good, Mr. Aso, let's drink."
Kitashirakawa was happy and raised his glass to toast Taro Aso. At this time, Taro Aso was about to stop him, but Kitashirakawarai had already poured the wine into his mouth.
However, as soon as the glass of wine reached my throat, I couldn't swallow it. It came back directly, and the wine poured out from everywhere in my mouth and nostrils.
Because this is a 60-proof blended wine, people at the time didn't understand and thought that alcohol imported from abroad was a good thing. However, they didn't know that many of these alcohols were industrial alcohol. If you drink too much, blindness can range from minor to serious. resulting in death.
Just like Marie Curie discovered the radioactive element radium, some Westerners quickly hyped it up after this discovery and even regarded it as an elixir of life.
So a group of profit-seeking businessmen filled radium in water and made radium water. Some cosmetics also began to add large amounts of radium elements to create a panacea for eternal youth.
But it was only a few years later that they learned about the dangers of this radioactive element. A large number of users developed various diseases, and even their corpses became radioactive sources and had to be buried deep for disposal.
At this time, Kitashirakawa Aoi and Aso Taro were the same. They didn't know the dangers of drinking this kind of blended wine, but they were laughing because it was really too strong.
Kitashirakawa wiped his face and nose with a handkerchief and said, "Baga, this wine is really too strong."
Taro Aso also quickly wiped the wine on Kitashirakawa's body with a handkerchief and said: "Senior, I was just about to explain to you, but you have already drank it."
"Oh, ah! Something really happened this time."
Kitashirakawa smiled self-deprecatingly, and at this moment, when the guard heard the chaotic sounds in the room, he quickly rushed in and asked: "Your Excellency, are you okay?"
Kitashirakawa waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's just Chinese wine. It's so great. You can go to the boss later and ask for a few bottles to take back. This wine is first-rate."
"Hi!"
The guard took the order, and for fear of forgetting, he went to the boss to ask for wine after taking the order.
The boss nodded and bowed, knowing that these little devils were not easy to mess with, and he did not dare to mention the money. Anyway, there was so much alcohol in the backyard, so he could just mix it with cold water when the time came.
The guard got the wine and walked away in a swagger, even having the urge to take a sip. Because the taste of alcohol is so strong, there is no wine in Japan that can compare with the wine in his hand.
But it's a pity that this is the wine of the Prince of Beibai. Where can he dare to drink it casually?
At the same time, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Kitashirakawa and Aso Taro finally started talking about the real thing, namely how to hunt the Dragon Boat Festival.
Kitashirakawa said that he had mobilized a regiment of imperial troops from the mainland, but Taro Aso said that these people were far from enough. To fight the Dragon Boat Festival, only by annihilating it in one fell swoop with absolutely superior force can we avoid future troubles forever. Otherwise, the Dragon Boat Festival will be like weeds that grow again in the spring breeze!
