The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 549 The Spread of Dried Noodles (2)
This is the knot of his heart.

His rebellion was not because of the brutal war, but because his father was drunk and drew his sword and killed his poor mother. In order to cover up his father's scandal, the people of the Heike family said that it was his mother's unruly seduction who seduced those who were not sloppy. man!

Hojo Shin was brought up by his mother, and in his heart since he was a child, his only relative was his mother.And his only ideal since he was a child is to let his thin mother enjoy the happiness, wear brocade clothes, and eat free rice...

He watched helplessly as his mother was bruised and swollen again and again by the father who occasionally came home, and was even stabbed through the abdomen by him when he was helping the drunk beast!
His father's knife pierced his mother's abdomen, and then cut open horizontally with the samurai harakiri method. From a long distance, he also saw his mother looking at the samurai sword inserted in his abdomen with terrified eyes, and mouth gushing. with blood...

Hojo Shin cried and rushed to his mother, holding a porcelain bowl filled with rice in his hand.His mother sent him to borrow it from his grandfather's house, just to make a bowl of steaming rice for his father who hasn't been home for a long time...

The samurai who came back with his father stopped him and knocked him unconscious on the floor of the house.

When he woke up, he heard his father telling the reason why he killed his wife in a mournful voice: She sent the letter out, but she was doing that filthy thing at home, so I killed her!

This kind of lie even deceived my grandfather. The simple old man knelt down in front of his son-in-law full of shame, saying that he did not teach his daughter well...

Everything is a lie!It was a lie that his father uttered out of conscience!

Hojo Shin, who was locked in the room, was red-eyed and silent. He knew that his father was a bloodthirsty samurai in the army, and he was highly valued by the general.And he himself is just a kid who hasn't grown up, so his words are not credible in front of those people.

After suffering for two days, he finally gave Hojo Shin the opportunity. When the beast he once called his father fell drunk again under the eaves, he calmly killed him in the same way that beast killed his mother. killed him!
Hojo Shin cut off the intestines in his father's abdomen with the same knife that killed his mother.

"He did something against the spirit of the samurai. I killed him, so the Heike family I used to work for could no longer tolerate me, so I had to go to the Yuan family..."

It is a very strenuous task for Hojo Shin to explain this in unskilled Daliang dialect.

And talking about that poor mother, his heart still hurts: "I... Mother is a good woman... She didn't deserve to die like that..."

"I want to take care of her...give her rice...let her wear beautiful clothes like the wives of those big families..."

Hojo Shin didn't cry when he said these words, but his eyes were blood red.

So he stared at such a pair of blood-red eyes and slowly raised his head to look at Su Xiazhi: "I swear by the highest honor of a warrior: everything I say is true."

"I believe." Su Xiazhi exhaled lightly, and nodded with difficulty.

Whether this story is told in Daliang's words or in the Japanese's own words, it is not an easy story.

From ancient times to the present, regardless of inside and outside, the road of women is equally difficult!

"But I still don't understand what this has to do with your learning to make noodles?" Yan Xi brought out tea and only poured a cup for the guests.

Su Xiazhi raised her hand to Bei Tiaoxin: "Please."

"Yes." Hojo Shin nodded with his back straight, then sat down, but did not touch the cup of tea: "Taijun, you are right, our people hate the years of war, so our problem is not No matter how many noodles, let the battle end quickly."

"If the end of the war is judged by victory or defeat, then I hope my current lord wins! In this way, I can also wash away the shame of betrayal."

Stop killing with killing, war is always cruel.

Become a king and lose a bandit, this is the final result.

"In battle, a samurai who doesn't have enough to eat has no strength to fight..." Hojo Shin stood up again, knelt on the ground, and touched his head to the ground: "So, please teach me how to make dried noodles, such a convenient food. It is very convenient to use on the march, as long as we win, the war can end as soon as possible."

Su Xiazhi supported the stone table with one hand, her eyes were slightly closed, she was thinking.

In the known memory, dried noodles were introduced into Japan later than now, and in the end, it did play a significant role in marching and fighting.

Because vermicelli is easy to preserve and ripen, and you can feel full after eating it, it can be said that the army that has vermicelli almost has the same magic weapon for victory.

"I can accept you." After a long time, she opened her eyes and said softly to Hojo Shin: "I did not accept you to avenge your mother, but to let more women stop dying of their father. Brother, and husband..."

Hojo Shin knelt on the ground and looked up at her, his eyes full of confusion.

"You only saw your mother's sorrow, but everyone in the war is sad, especially women."

Su Xiazhi got up and signaled Xiao Wu to help Hojo Shin on the ground.

Men can fight bloody battles for glory, but women have to bear the consequences of the battle.

They have to work hard to support their families and carry a family with their thin shoulders, but often they work hard. Women still cannot eat a full meal, and they are already lonely before the day when their husbands come home. die...

The flames of war burn men's blood, but what they want is women's lives!

"Your father really deserves to die! If one day, the battle is over, you may rise to the top with the skills I taught you today. At that time, I ask you to remember today's words: treat those women who are enemies..."... …

Hojo Shin was arranged by Su Xiazhi to study in a noodle shop.Not only did I learn some noodle-pulling techniques, but I also learned how to make several kinds of sauces from the master chefs.

Three months later, he bid farewell and left to catch up with his companions in the south.

Finally, at the coastal border of Daliang, they caught up with the envoys who sent Liang and accompanied him to the east, who had a secret agreement with His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang. After a few years, Yoshihide Toyo finally unified Japan and ended the more than 100-year-long war Chaos!
