Clap! Clap! Clap! After Matsumoto Takeyoshi clapped his hands three times, the musician immediately stopped playing. A few enchanting dancers also stopped dancing and retreated to the side with their heads lowered.
"Hahaha, Ye Fan -kun, you're finally here." Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed as he stood up and walked straight to Ye Fan.
Whoosh! Seeing Matsumoto Takeyoshi stand up, the experts didn't dare to sit anymore and all stood up.
"Come, come, come. Ye Fan -kun, we're all waiting for you." After Matsumoto Takeyoshi came in front of Ye Fan, he directly took Ye Fan's hand intimately and walked to his seat.
Ye Fan frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Matsumoto Takeyoshi would treat him so warmly.
He wanted to shake off Matsumoto Takeyoshi's hand, but as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face. After all, he had already promised Matsumoto Takeyoshi to help him find the cauldron. Moreover, Matsumoto Takeyoshi was treating him with respect. If he embarrassed Matsumoto Takeyoshi in front of so many people, he would be a little petty.
Under the complicated gazes of the experts, Matsumoto Takeyoshi brought Ye Fan to the luxurious empty table.
"Ye Fan -kun, please take a seat." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to Ye Fan with a smile.
Ye Fan didn't stand on ceremony. He shook his robe and sat cross-legged on the futon.
Baihu, who was on his shoulder, jumped into Ye Fan's arms.
All the experts frowned slightly.
At this moment, in the cabin, other than Ye Fan who was sitting, everyone else was standing, including Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
In Japan, this was already a supreme honor.
Creak, creak, creak … The green-eyed boy clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. He was the head of the five disciples under the Dongying Demonic King. In terms of seniority, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's adopted son, Zhou Quan, had to call him Eldest Martial Brother! After all, Zhou Quan had also studied under the Ghost King.
This time, in order to help Matsumoto Takeyoshi, the five of them had gone all out, but even so, they had not received any special treatment from Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Yet, this silver-haired brat who had always wanted Matsumoto Takeyoshi's life had actually received such honorable treatment from Matsumoto Takeyoshi!
The green-eyed boy wanted to flare up, but he did not have any excuse. Among the five disciples, the third disciple had actually failed to block Ye Fan's move. It was indeed somewhat unreasonable. He had originally wanted to show his face in front of Matsumoto Takeyoshi, but in the end, not only did he not show his face, but his butt was also exposed.
"Serve the banquet." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said as he returned to his original position and sat down again.
Whoosh! Seeing Matsumoto Takeyoshi take his seat, all the experts sat down in unison.
Unlike the Han people's sitting method, the Japanese's sitting method was to kneel. Bend the knees and sit on the heels of both feet, crossing both feet, and the instep of one foot was pressed against the sole of the other foot. It was called sitting upright.
The Han people's sitting method was to sit cross-legged and directly sit on the futon.
At this moment, the scene was very awkward. Ye Fan was sitting cross-legged, and a group of Japanese experts were kneeling there. At first glance, it looked like they were kneeling to him.
Whoosh! The cabin door opened, and sixteen women in Japanese kimono holding trays walked in with small steps.
On the trays, wine and dishes were all prepared.
The smooth and tender sashimi, the pleasing seaweed sushi, the fragrant fish bone soup, the delicately made lobster sashimi, a pot of top-grade sake, and a few appetizers made the meal look exceptionally sumptuous.
They were now in the East Sea, and it could be said that there was an endless supply of seafood.
The sixteen Japanese women in gorgeous kimono walked briskly and neatly. The trays in their hands did not move at all. At a glance, it was obvious that they were well-trained female ninjas.
After placing the trays on everyone's wooden table, the sixteen women bowed to everyone and then knelt beside the experts. They picked up the wine pot on the trays and poured wine for everyone.
What was surprising was that the dishes on Ye Fan's tray were slightly different from the dishes on the other tables. There was one more dish on his tray, which was braised fish.
The experts did not say anything, but their hearts were as clear as a mirror. Ye Fan was a Han person, and Matsumoto Takeyoshi was worried that Ye Fan would not be used to Japanese dishes. In order to show his favor and to express his sincerity, he specially prepared this dish for Ye Fan.
This banquet was the grandest one since Matsumoto Takeyoshi came to the Great Ming Dynasty. Even the banquet where the thirteen experts gathered was not as grand as this one.
Obviously, Matsumoto Takeyoshi was here to welcome the new member, Ye Fan.
This time, the man in white did not stand behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi as usual. Instead, he sat on the right side of Matsumoto Takeyoshi. There was also an exquisite wooden table in front of him, which corresponded to the table across from Ye Fan.
This time, he did not have to worry about Ye Fan hurting Matsumoto Takeyoshi for the time being.
The reason was very simple. Ye Fan had already reached an agreement with Matsumoto Takeyoshi. They were now in the same camp.
"Everyone," Matsumoto Takeyoshi raised his wine cup and looked around at the crowd with a smile, "Thanks to God's favor, today I, Matsumoto Takeyoshi, have another tiger general. It can be said that it is like a dragon getting a pearl, and a tiger getting wings. To be able to get your help is really a blessing for me, Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Come, Ye Fan -kun, everyone, let's drink! "Matsumoto Takeyoshi said and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Everyone raised their cups to Matsumoto Takeyoshi and drank.
The meaning of Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words was clear to all the experts.
Getting their help was only a blessing for Matsumoto Takeyoshi, but getting Ye Fan was like a dragon getting a pearl, and a tiger getting wings.
The blue-eyed boy's face turned green and white, and the wine cup in his hand made a cracking sound.
Ye Fan raised his wine cup and gently raised it in the direction of Matsumoto Takeyoshi as a response. Then, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup.
He saw Matsumoto Takeyoshi's special treatment of him.
