"Chief of Staff, why are you so free today? Do you have time to go shopping?" Tsunayashiro Fuka looked at Yamabuki with a smile. Yamabuki always felt that this boy was up to no good, but he didn't want to lose face. After all, they were all colleagues, and they would see each other every day, so it would be embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Yamabuki could only force a smile: "I'm taking a break today. I can't work day and night every day, right? I can't compare to you. Not only do I have a position in the Gotei 13, but I also have such a big family to manage."
Tsunayashiro Fuka kept smiling, as if he didn't hear Yamabuki's mockery at all. He put his arm around Yamabuki's shoulders in a very familiar manner: "Chief of Staff, since it's a day off today, do you want to go somewhere fun? I promise you'll like it."
Yamabuki coughed lightly. Indeed, when it came to entertainment, he was no match for the head of this noble family. These nobles could always give people something refreshing within limited conditions.
"Hehe, I won't go to any indecent place." Yamabuki's eyes kept drifting up to the sky. Tsunayashiro Fuka smiled and pulled Yamabuki's arm: "What are you talking about? Who would go to a decent place!"
Having said that, he dragged Yamabuki out of the Soul Society (Seireitei), but halfway there they met Yamatake Chiyo.
Chiyo-chan looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked, "Why are you rushing to Rukongai? Are you going to do something unspeakable? How can I be left out of this kind of thing? Let's go together!"
Tsunayashiro Fuka agreed without hesitation, and Yamabuki became even more curious. What kind of place is this? It seemed mysterious at the beginning, but now they are taking a little girl who hasn't grown up yet?
With curiosity, Yamabuki followed Tsunayashiro Fuuka to the Rukongai outside. Because the security in the several Rukongai close to the Soul Society (Seireitei) is relatively good, it is also prosperous compared to the outer Zaraki and Kusaka districts. There are also many taverns for dining. Tsunayashiro Fuuka skillfully took Yamabuki and Yaohe Chiyo to a tavern.
"Tsunayashiro, we have children here, what's wrong with you?" Yamabuki said with a light cough. Of course, he was also curious in his heart about what Tsunayashiro Fuka was doing mysteriously. At this time, Tsunayashiro Fuka brought two people to the second floor of the tavern and chose the best seat to sit down. The owner of the tavern had already come over with a smile: "My lord, what kind of wine would you like to drink today?"
"Just order anything! By the way, when does the show start?" Tsunayashiro Fuka said to the boss. Judging from the familiar conversation between the two, this was definitely not the first time Tsunayashiro Fuka had come here for Fenghua.
Yamatake Chiyo looked around curiously. She had never been to Rukongai in her life. Unlike the orderly interior of Seireitei, the highlight of Rukongai was its bustling atmosphere.
After Yamabuki sat down and took a sip of wine, he had to admit that there was no delicious wine in this era.
In ancient China, flower petals were used to make cocktails, such as osmanthus wine, plum blossom wine, and even wine offered as tribute from the Western Regions.
High-proof distilled liquor was not introduced to the Central Plains until after the Yuan Dynasty.
The taste of the wine in Soul Society (Seireitei) now is really hard to describe, just like Cao Cao eating chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away.
It seemed that the nobles of this era could not enjoy many good things. It turned out that science and technology were the primary productive forces.
"Why did you call me here in such a mysterious way?" Yamabuki didn't think that the other party called him here just to treat him to such tasteless and low-quality wine.
Tsunayashiro Fuka had a smile on her face that all men understand: "Be patient, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Yamabuki wanted to eat some side dishes but found that the food was also very poor. Well, life in Rukongai was not that good. For example, there was not even a plate of peanuts on the table now, only two small plates of pickles, one was cucumber, and the other was pickled watermelon rind.
Seeing this scene, Yamabuki wanted to cry. When I was a child, I would cut the watermelon into two halves, you get half, and I get half. We would not eat the part near the watermelon rind that was not very sweet.
Now he has fallen to the point of eating watermelon rinds. Isn't this too miserable?
No, after the bloody battle is over, I must improve the food in this world, at least so that I can eat better.
Tsunayashiro Fuka picked up a piece of neatly cut watermelon rind and put it in his mouth, eating it with relish. Yamabuki sighed and said, "When you have time, please treat him to a meal of meat!"
At this moment, Tsunayashiro Fuka suddenly slapped the table and said with a smile, "Here it comes!"
Then they looked at the stage below, and the attention of Yamabuki Chiyo and Yamabuki was also attracted there. They saw a group of young and beautiful women walking out from the stage, dancing gracefully with flowing sleeves.
These girls were all pretty to begin with, and their dancing moves were enchanting, and their eyes were alluring, so the men on the first floor applauded.
"I thought it was something else? Turns out to be a group of women dancing. How boring. Do all men like this kind of thing?" Yamatake Chiyo said with a bored look on her face.
Tsunayashiro Fuka looked at the dancers below with a smile and said, "You are still young and don't understand. When you grow up, you will find out how interesting this thing is."
As for Yamabuki, of course I would look at her a few more times since there were so many beauties in that era.
Wait, to be able to gather so many young and beautiful women, the owner of this tavern must be no ordinary person and must have some powerful backers.
"You are the backer of this store, right? Tsunayashiro Fuka." Yamabuki asked Tsunayashiro Fuka.
"You are worthy of being the Chief of Staff. You can see it at a glance. Indeed, I am the real boss of this store. I have spent a lot of effort to gather these girls. How about it? Do you like it? If you like it, I can give you a few." Tsunayashiro Fuka said with a smile.
"Forget it then." Yamabuki said with a wry smile. If he took the two dancers back with him, he would be hacked to death by Unohana that very night, absolutely.
When it comes to beauties, you just need to look at them. If you try to claim her as your own upon seeing her, even a strong heart would break.
Tsunayashiro Fuka said with a smile, "Don't worry, I understand. After all, you are a public figure. How about I find a place to help you raise them? When are you free..."
"No time. I'm leaving first." Yamabuki didn't want to get involved with this person. He knew best what kind of people the Tsunayashiro family were.
There is no good person anywhere.
Just as Yamabuki was about to leave, suddenly, there was a commotion below.
