Chapter XVII. The Argotic Chamber of Commerce

After Kuroda Vocational High School returned to the hotel, he suddenly remembered the Nanban woman Lilu Argot who had been hurriedly glimpsed during the day, although they had not been separated for a long time, but I don't know what happened, Kuroda Vocational High School still missed this Nanban woman a little.

I remember that when we parted, Lilu said that she was on the side of the Nanban Hall by the sea, and there was an Argotic Chamber of Commerce, and she could be found tonight.

Thinking of this, Kuroda Vocational High School immediately called Takatomo Musato, Hattori Masanari, and Sasaki Nagahide to go to the Argotic Chamber of Commerce.

The Nanban Kaikan Ward is an area specially planned by Sakai Town by the sea for the trade of Nanban goods. Because the appearance of the Nanban people is like a demon from hell compared to the Japanese people, the entire Nanban area is basically composed of people from all over Europa, and there is not even a single Japanese figure in sight.

In this case, the appearance of the four of them here at Kuroda Vocational High School is a bit abrupt. Fortunately, all four of them were people who had seen the world, and they didn't have any special emotions, and Kuroda Vocational High School's English was still at the level of asking for directions, and after asking an enthusiastic Spanish sailor, he finally found his destination, the Argotic Chamber of Commerce.

The Argotic Chamber of Commerce is not prominent among the huge buildings around, a three-story building covering an area of no more than 200 square meters, and a small freight yard in front of it, which is all the industry of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce.

Just like when you looked at the house before, here in Sakai Town, the bigger the house you build, the more luxurious it is, which means that you will be more financially powerful. The situation of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce seems to say that they are a small businessman in general.

After entering the Argotic Chamber of Commerce, an enthusiastic Dutchman walked up, and after seeing that Kuroda Vocational High School and his party were Japanese nationals, he said in a rather lame Japanese dialect: "I don't know if you adults come to my Argote Chamber of Commerce to buy something!" We have the best Nanban stuff here, a table clock, a pocket watch, a perfume, beautiful clothes, and a piano. ”

Kuroda took a look at it, and the decoration of the entire Agote Chamber of Commerce was very ordinary, and there were basically no decorations, if the stove facing the door was counted. The goods are only a few simple items on display, and it seems that he has indeed guessed it, and it seems that the situation of the Argote Chamber of Commerce is not good.

"Sir, this gentleman, do you have anything in mind, or is there something else?" Seeing that Kuroda Vocational High School was just looking there, but did not show even the slightest intention of buying goods, the waiter immediately asked.

"I'm misleading you, I'm here to find Lilu Argot, not to talk about business." Kuroda said.

"It's looking for the boss! She's in the office on the third floor, I'll take you up! The man immediately gave a few commands to the other waiter in Dutch, and then led the four of them up to the third floor.

The third floor is not big, there are only two rooms, it is estimated that it is a bedroom and an office of Lilu! The waiter knocked on one of the doors, and the door opened from the inside, and Lilu poked her head out of it and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"There are four gentlemen here looking for you."

After she looked at Kuroda Vocational High School, she immediately walked out happily, still wearing the same green clothes.

"Sir, it's my pleasure to see you again." Lilu said with a smile.

"Beautiful Miss Lilu, I am also very honored to see you again, but it is a little presumptuous to come to visit like this?" Kuroda also laughed.

"No, no, we're hospitable." Lilu said, and asked Kuroda Vocational High School to enter her office. Hattori Masari and Sasaki Nagahide were left outside, while Takatomo Musato accompanied Kuroda into Rilu's office.

It was an office with no furnishings, a Western-style desk, a few chairs, and a small bookshelf with a few books on it.

"I didn't think you'd be able to find it!" Lilu sat down in her place, and then began to clean up her somewhat messy table, which was all covered with parchment and other things, and her notes were a little messy.

"I know a little English, don't I?" Kuroda said with a shrug.

"You're such a curious person, you don't look like a Japanese at all." Lilu said.

"Oh! What does that look like? Kuroda asked.

"How to say it! I feel like a French gentleman, romantic and polite. Lilu said very seriously.

"France? How could I be like a Frenchman? Kuroda shook his head, even if he counted from his previous life, he was not subtle, but he would not look like an amorous Frenchman!

"You know France, too?" Lilu said with some surprise.

"Of course, you said that I am not an ordinary Japanese anymore."

"And what else do you know?" Lilu looked at Kuroda Vocational High School curiously, eager to learn from him what he knew.

"The Netherlands, England, Spain, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Turkestan, Denmark in Northern Europe, Sweden, that's all for now!" The history and geography of Kuroda Vocational High School in the last life are still good, but some countries don't have it yet! So he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"You know the Netherlands."

"I don't know much, only Amsterdam, windmills and tulips." Kuroda thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that the most he knew about the Netherlands was the legalization of prostitutes! It's really embarrassing!

"Even if you know a lot, I was born and raised in Amsterdam, and every time the tulips bloom, the large tulips under the windmill are really intoxicating!" It seems that Kuroda's words reminded her of her hometown, and Lilu poured a cup of tea for Kuroda Vocational High School.

Takayu Musato was going to drink it first to make sure he wasn't poisoned or anything, but he was stopped by Kuroda Vocational High School.

"What a loyal man!" Lilu saw everything in her eyes and said with great admiration.

"It was my best friend and assistant who grew up together." Kuroda took a sip of tea, and he nodded: "Black tea, not bad, where did it come from?" ”

"This is traded from the city of Guangzhou in the Ming Kingdom, it is better to brew tea like this, you Japanese people make it into powder like that, and then brew it, it is really very unpleasant, like a crushed bitter medicine." Lilu said.

"Hmmm! You say matcha, but I'm not used to drinking it. I also like the way of drinking tea in Mingguo, because I like the culture of Mingguo. Kuroda said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
