The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"Onisan, today I'm cooking beef sukiyaki. Google search to read"

Just returned to my private residence.

Chiyo-chan trotted to the entrance and helped him get his school bag.

Japan's sukiyaki sounds pretty good from its famous name, but in fact it looks somewhat similar to the dry pot of later generations. However, it is also divided into Kansai version and Kanto version of sukiyaki. Kansai sukiyaki is more complicated. First heat the pan with butter, then fry the beef for a while, then continue to cook with soy sauce, and wait until it is cooked. Almost, add vegetables.

The Kanto version is much rougher. Soy sauce, sugar, stock, etc. are directly mixed together to form a sauce, which is cooked directly with the beef.

Kaoruko is from Yamanashi Prefecture in Kanto, but she also learned cooking at a geisha school. Kyoto is in Kansai, and eating for the upper class is always much more complicated, so this time it is the Kansai version of sukiyaki.

Under the flat iron pot, there is a small copper stove with charcoal inside.

Underneath the full dish is a slightly thinner sauce. The aroma burst out.

"How about staying at Zhuanzhishe?"

Bai Gui knelt down at the dining table, picked up a piece of beef with bamboo chopsticks, and put it into his mouth, feeling very satisfied.

"What Zhuo Zhisha teaches is similar to what is taught in the geisha school, but there are some differences..."

Xiaochiyo replied.

Xunzi also said something similar, praising Zhuanzhishe’s teaching environment.

Bai Gui nodded, somewhat understanding.

Zhuanzhishe specializes in training young ladies of aristocrats. Although the teachings are all about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are definitely different from what geishas learn, and they are much more dignified.

…

One day later.

The newspaper used the gimmick of "Japanese novel writers to polish their writing materials" as a press release.

The effect is remarkable.

Many new authors submit articles to newspapers for many days.

And Bai Gui's reputation in the industry has also greatly increased. After all, with the reputation of "refining novels", people will look up to him wherever he goes.

As a result, he also received an invitation to a recent gathering of writers in the industry.

Although Bai Gui had a reputation in the past, he had just arrived and had not even finished writing a book. Many famous writers supported him at literary club gatherings and supported him in major newspapers, but they regarded him as a new writer. The meaning of support is very strong.

You won't be invited to high-end parties.

This time Bai Gui has finished writing the first volume of The Black Fission of the Great Qin Empire, which can be regarded as a famous work. The second volume is selling well, has a good reputation, and will no longer bear the title of a new author.

Setagaya Ward.

Mori Ogai's private residence.

This is a three-story building, which is more luxurious than the previous one in Okakura Tenshin and is also in European style. Tokyo is close to the Pacific Ocean, and Westernization will be more serious. Not to mention that these writers and literary giants have the experience of studying abroad. European decoration style is very common.

For example, Ogai Mori was once a graduate student. Natsume Soseki was a student studying abroad.

After handing the invitation to the waiter, Bai Gui was led to the floor-to-ceiling window area on the second floor, where the lighting was the best. Looking from the window, he could see the ancient Haode Temple in the distance, close to the small lake, and the scenery was quiet.

There were already many literati chatting in the room.

This is a private party. They were dressed more casually, some were in kimonos, some were in suits and leather shoes, and some were wrapped in outer robes, as if they were not awake.

Bai Gui had just sat down and was admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window when he noticed a fragrant breeze approaching.

Then a woman with an exquisite face sat next to him, wearing a thin layer of powder and holding a goblet of red wine. The golden sunlight shone down and fell on her lips, a bright red color.

"Tanabe-senpai." Gu

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Didn't you go back to Kyushu Island?"

Bai Gui was a little surprised.

Tanabe Ryuko was dressed similar to the one she wore when they first met, a dark kimono, but with more light yellow sleeves. The so-called biwing means that there are ribbons on the cuffs, which look like bird wings.

Dress up to match.

When she first participated in the literary club, Ryuko Tanabe danced with him at the ball and mentioned that she was going back to Kyushu Island.

Kyushu Island is much warmer than Tokyo, and the scenery is also pleasant.

"Kyushu Island is too boring. I just went back to visit relatives, and I'm not going to stay in Kyushu..." Ryuko Tanabe glanced at Bai Gui with her beautiful eyes angrily, and then smiled softly, "Unexpectedly I stayed in Kyushu Island for half a year, and just returned to Tokyo, and I met you again?"

"You are also amazing. I was invited to a party at a great writer's private house, but it was only two years after my debut..."

She couldn't help but say.

"It just so happens that Senpai Mori likes it so much, maybe because Senpai Sen has also been writing historical novels recently."

Bai Gui said casually.

Just last month, Japan caused a major rebellion and strengthened cultural autocracy. Some progressive books are not allowed to be printed. Therefore, Mori Ogai has recently stopped writing romantic and modernist novels, and instead turned to writing historical novels.

He is now considered to be unique in writing historical novels.

Got a great reputation.

While they were chatting, Natsume Soseki also came over.

I also heard some chat content.

The three clinked glasses.

After drinking.

With a smile on his face, Natsume Soseki said: "I also admire Shirai-kun very much. I originally planned to send you an invitation letter when Shirai-kun enters the first and second years of high school, but I didn't expect that Shirai-kun would invest in Shiraishi." This guy’s disciple makes me regret a lot..."

"Senior Xia is so complimentary."

Bai Gui replied with a cold expression.

It is not a fantasy that Natsume Soseki would also come to Ichigao to recruit disciples.

In fact, in a few years, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Masao Kume will join Natsume Soseki and become his disciples.

Natsume Soseki is currently a professor of English at Daiichi High School and a lecturer of English literature at Tokyo University.

It's just that Natsume Soseki was a busy man, and unlike Professor Shiraishi, he didn't have time to teach Japanese history at Ichigao. It has been so long since Bai Gui came to No. 1 High School that he has never seen Natsume Soseki teach English in No. 1 High School.

However, Shiraiki has no intention of joining Natsume Soseki's disciples. He is talented enough and does not need a very famous teacher to cover his own light. In comparison, although Professor Shiraishi is not as famous as Natsume, he has the resources at Tokyo University. on, not necessarily less than Natsume. Natsume has too many disciples, so resources will not be so concentrated on him.

In addition, although Natsume Soseki expressed war weariness in "I Am a Cat", there are also some works that are contemptuous of the Qing people...

A real man does what he does and what he doesn't do.

He would not deliberately hate Natsume Soseki, but he would not be a disciple of Natsume Soseki either.

"If... Mr. Bai wants to ask for advice, well, I heard Professor Baishi say that you are currently studying and writing a test of customs of various countries. I still have some knowledge of England, and I can still understand what I don't understand. Go to my place..."

When Natsume Soseki saw Bai Gui's cold expression, he felt bored and left after saying a few words.

There are a lot of business matters here, and he is not here specifically for Bai Gui.

As for the cold expression, writers all have bad habits of one kind or another, and he doesn't care too much about it.
