Chapter 2 2. There are benefits to the Japanese bridge
He looked around the room and found that even the fire in the fire pit had been extinguished. The young man with a buzz cut in front of him sighed. But he found that there was obviously firewood in the entrance hall, so he pulled out a few firewood and went outside the house to chop.
The buzz-tie guy is Tadao Eemon's playmate in the temple, and he is also sixteen years old. For some reasons, he also happened to return from the temple and was considered to be the only friend of Tadao Eemon in this world.
As for his secular name, the name Miao name is Jinmaru, he only got the common name of Hirasaburo. Because he had returned to secular life, his family did not have enough money to handle the ritual ceremony for him, so he had no name. As for the martial family, they are now poor and there is nothing to be surprised about.
It was this Jinmaru, which was not as good as the Japanese historical level of Tadaemon's primary school students, but I knew that the family's ancestors were rich. In the Warring States Period, the Kafai Takeda family, Kashimaru Toriyoshi had a good son named Toya Masato, who was the boss who was killed by the Thousand-Man of Takuya.
Those who are so loyal to Takeda must have been killed by Oda Nobunaga, but Kanemaru Tsukiyoshi is so powerful that he gave birth to eight sons, and Oda Nobunaga obviously couldn't kill them all.
When Tokugawa Ieyasuji was in power, he said that a family of loyal ministers like Tokuya Masahoho would definitely be able to produce loyal ministers and filial sons, and should be summoned to use them. Therefore, Tokuya Masahoho's two grandsons, one of them, became the 45,000-stone vassal lord of the Supreme Lord, and the other became the 96,000-stone lord of the Changlu Tuura, and became the 96,000-stone lord of the world.
The Kanemaru Heizaburo family was not very lucky because they had been separated from the Toya Masato Hokage family for three or four generations, but they were at least related to their relatives. The Tokugawa family was originally just a small local tyrant from Mikawa and had no sufficient accumulation of retainers to govern the world, so they accepted all the relatives who had related to the Toya Masato Hokage.
Now, among the shogunate flag books, there are several flag books divided into dinosaur houses, including three thousand stones and two thousand stones. The Kinmaru family made the snail snails of Tokugawa Hidetaka at that time, which was to slap the trumpet of Tokugawa Hidetaka.
First, he gave 150 stones of knowledge and action, but later he accumulated military achievements and qualifications, which gradually increased. Now he is a 650 stone shogunate flag book, which is also considered a decent family.
Why did he become a monk and return to secular life? Isn’t it that the family inherited the bad things? His father got his elder brother when he was 22 years old, and then he paid attention to the rappelling skills in bed with his mother. He never reborn. Who knew that at the age of 36, his father shivered and probably broke the fish bladder, so Heishabaro was found.
If you have a baby, you will have a life. Just give birth. If your daughter can also get married, she will be a good son! There is no other way out, so she will be sent to the temple.
Fourteen years have passed, his brother was married to his sister-in-law for ten years at the age of 28 and has not had a baby, and his family is about to be cut off. The whole family naturally remembered him. Now his brother is thirty years old, but he still has no children. He has basically given up. He officially raised his younger brother as his son, inherited the common name of Heisanro Kanemaru's family, and was preparing to pass on the family business to him.
The matter still needs approval from the shogunate, so now Heishakuro does not have to be dedicated to the public or recite the Buddha's name. He has been hiding with Tadaoemon for the past six months, and the two of them are also the best examples of friends.
After eating so many wines and dishes at Tadaoemon, it was a trivial matter to help Tadaoemon chop firewood. In the past, he was not a favorite disciple of the residence in the temple. He was the second child of the hundreds of stone familiar family. He was not very valuable in Edo, and he did a lot of work.
"Then what, Taisan, what are we eating?"
People are iron, and rice is steel. They are hungry even if they don’t eat for a meal. Tadaoemon still couldn’t help but ask him, a friend with more life skills and a sense of the city.
"I'm afraid I have no food now, but there's a good way tonight!" Ping San slashed the firewood.
The firewood transported into Edo Castle was even sent by Musashi Hachiko. If this were put into the Warring States Period, Kenshin Uesugi could take several days to travel. Who said that Edo was completely developed and there were no coal mines in the suburbs? Isn’t it possible to cut wood as far as the road is cut?
The ones tied up with straw ropes and sent to Edo for sale were just cut logs, and they were covered with a sales license seal from a certain merchant. If there was no strong labor at home, the firewood would not be chopped after buying it.
"Where to go!"
There is still money, but depending on Hiraki's meaning, it can be eaten for free. For Tadaoemon, who is soon shy in his pocket, eating for free is better than anything else. Our sixteen-year-old body is just the time to eat.
"Nibashi!" Hei San carried the chopped wood back.
If you can't chop firewood, if you can't hold firewood, it's iron waste. After taking the firewood that Hiraki had chopped, Tachibana brought people into the door. After walking to the fire pit in three or two steps, he looked at the already cool firewood. Hiraki was commonplace, picked up three or four pieces of firewood from Tachibana's hand and put it into the pond, and used the tongs on the side to dial.
Apart from pulling out a few ash, there was no spark. In desperation, he had to take out the fire slit, and there was no flammable material that could easily cause fire.
It happened that the big and white Ukiyo-e picture just now came into view. The room was dark, and Hirasan didn't realize it was an Ukiyo-e picture. He only thought it was a piece of straw paper. He pulled it over and jumped into the young man's eyes. At a speed visible to the naked eye, after swallowing his saliva, Hirasan kept stuffing the big and white into his arms without hesitation.
"Is there any straw paper?" There was a hint of flush on the young man's face.
"Any paper is OK?"
"The kind of Asakusa is the best!" Hirasa spoke a little fast.
Asakusa Sausa is famous these days, and of course it is also famous in the future. The future is famous for the Japanese national treasure "Asakusa Wakamaki". Now it is famous for more than 60 second-hand paper recycled stores reunited in Asakusa.
After they collected the old paper, they used it to melt the pulp. The "new paper" they made was often more crisp and relatively yellow. Of course, it was not good to use it to carve and write, but it was very easy to use it to wipe the butt and cause fire, which was a unique feature of Edo.
There is no way to find such a cheap butt wipe paper elsewhere!
Think about Edo, which has a million people, every day, just the straw paper that wipes its butt is an astronomical figure. No wonder Asakusa's papermaking industry can last forever, and in the new era, several "national treasures" can survive.
"Yes, yes..." Tadaoemon pulled out the straw paper in his arms and tore half of it to Heizo.
Not long after, the fire rose and the room finally felt warm. He roasted his hands beside the fire, and Taisan took out a bento wrapped in bamboo leaves from a small cloth bag tied beside him.
"This is the only one, right!" Heizo took a brown rice dumpling by himself and handed the remaining one to Tadaoemon.
