[Machine Translation] Mashikichi, who came to Edo from Ushiori to train as a chef, died of illness at the young age of 21. His younger brother Torakichi, who came to Edo to follow in his footsteps, has completed six years of training and is about to return to his hometown to open his own business. Torakichi's younger brother, Chokichi of Asakusa Chokichiya, who is still in training, says he will accompany Torakichi to Ushiori because he regrets not having delivered Mashikichi's urn six years ago. He also asked Senkichi of Nodokoya to go with him and help him open the fair.
