Chapter 655 Erina's Date and Redemption (8,000-character chapter)(1/3)
Although I have never had any experience in dating, it is said that I have never eaten pork and seen pig run. After all, I have watched so many novels and TV and eaten so much dog food in my previous life. If we talk about theoretical knowledge, Ji Kong would not lose to anyone. .
Soon, he thought about where to go.
I drove Erina to Ginza in Chuo District. Erina was even more familiar with this most luxurious place in Japan than Shikong.
"Do you want to shop?" Erina asked.
After Ji Kong said the word "date" that day, she also made up for some relevant knowledge, knowing that shopping is a necessary element of dating.
To be honest, as a pragmatic person with a strong sense of time, she is unwilling to waste time shopping, but since it is a date, I will reluctantly agree!
"Not shopping." Ji Kong shook his head and said, "You should know that in addition to shopping, Ginza has another famous thing."
"gourmet food!"
Erina replied immediately.
"That's right!" Ji Kong snapped his fingers, "It's almost seven o'clock now, and it's time for dinner. No matter what arrangements are made in the future, I'll just eat the meal first."
As a food lover, Erina was more interested in eating naturally and immediately suggested: "How about going to Ginza Phase I? The Kaiseki cuisine there is authentic in Japan; the restaurant is also good, and the cuisine there is said to be inherited from royal craftsmanship, and sushi and sashimi are both unique; there are also Wayama Village, Torihiro, Yoshiizumi... These are all famous Michelin restaurants."
"Michelin restaurant?" Ji Kong said in surprise: "Don't Michelin sell tires?"
Hearing Ji Kong say this, Erina is more surprised than Ji Kong: "You don't even know about Michelin restaurants?"
Ji Kong shook his head. He only knew Michelin tires and never knew Michelin restaurants.
"As a chef, I don't even know about Michelin restaurants. I really don't know how your cooking skills come from..."
Erina explained speechlessly: "Simply put, the founder of Michelin wanted to use tourism to promote the sales of his own tires, so he ran a magazine called "Michelin Red Book" which introduced the attractions and also introduced the food from all over the country. As a result, the magazine became bigger and bigger, and finally became the most authoritative food evaluation agency in the world. All the restaurants included in "Michelin Red Book" are called Michelin restaurants and are a symbol of food!"
"Anyway, it's just awesome." Ji Kong concluded.
"Of course, it's not a good idea for me to eat." I thought Ji Kong was worried about the price, Erina said quickly.
There is a happy profession in the world called foodie. This kind of person does not have to do anything every day. He just needs to go to major restaurants to taste delicious food and get a considerable reward.
Erina is one of them.
And with a tongue of god, she is definitely one of the best foodies in the world. She may not be able to invite her while waving money in countless restaurants.
When she went to these restaurants for dinner, the other party not only would not charge money, but would also give it thankfully, because as long as she praised it on her personal Weibo, the sales of any store would have increased by more than twice.
"I'm not worried about money, of course."
Although the dishes that cost tens of thousands of yen in these stores are indeed expensive, Ji Kong is not unpaid. "But you should have been tired of these exquisite dishes, right? In short, don't ask too much, just follow me."
Located in Ginza, Chuo District, Tokyo, is a magical place, with both a magnificent star-rated restaurant on the main road and a food stall full of historical flavors in the alley.
When Ji Sora held Erina's hand and came to such an alley similar to China Snack Street, Erina was stunned.
She swears that if Ji Kong was not holding her hand, she would definitely kick him!
But even when facing Ji Kong, she frowned and said, "Jun Ji, what do you mean is that you let me have supper here, right?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"This kind of common people's cooking..." Erina pursed her lips, and she still didn't say the even more ugly words.
In front of Ji Kong, Erina's arrogant personality was much more restrained. If it were someone else, she would have walked away with disdain.
Although the knot in my heart has been untied by Ji Kong, the understanding of food that has been developed over the years will definitely not be changed overnight.
"Gourmet should be like art, and the general public only eats feed!"
Although he hated his father in his heart, the food concept passed down to her by Chierina still affected Kierina's life.
"Don't rush to make a conclusion, let's take a look first."
Erina was walking forward with hands held by Jikong, her eyes patrolling the food shops on both sides of the alley. The more she looked, the deeper her brows frowned.
The hygiene is barely qualified, the service is not up to standard, and as for the food... the scent of the air is simply ravaging your nose.
My tongue will never taste these foods…No, I will never agree that these things are food!
Although I love Ji Kong deeply, Erina also has a very strong self. In the face of principled issues, even Ji Kong must not let her retreat!
Just as she was thinking this way, Ji Kong pulled her down on the bench in front of a food shop.
【Tashima's pepper cake】
The food shop has such a font.
Pepper cakes and pork belly are grinded into slightly larger pieces, and use black pepper to enhance the flavor. The meat filling is wrapped with dough made of medium-gluten flour. The Wanwan cuisine baked in a special kiln is one of the most famous dishes among Chinese snacks.
Although I have never eaten it, this passage still came to Erina's mind because of her outstanding knowledge.
Ji Kong ordered two pepper cakes.
Shaoqing, the owner of the food shop, an old lady over 60 years old wrapped two pepper cakes tremblingly.
"Do you want to eat?"
Jikawa handed Erina a piece, and Erina turned her head firmly.
Ji Kong didn't care about her anymore and started eating on his own.
"tasty!"
The juicy meat filling and the slightly numb texture of the pepper impacted the taste buds, making Ji Kongqing unable to help but exclaim.
Hearing Ji Kong's praise, the old lady narrowed her eyes happily.
"Old lady, the pepper cakes in your store taste so good, why are there so few customers?" Ji Kong asked strangely.
There is no one else in this restaurant except him and Erina.
"As old, he is clumsy, and even some customers are driven away." The old lady shook her head, "Besides, young people nowadays pursue exquisite cuisine. For example, food of low-grade food has become less and less popular."
"Didn't you ask for help?"
"I had my grandson helping me before, but since I was admitted to a recent school..."
"It's Totsuki Academy!" Erina emphasized.
"Oh yes, after I got admitted to Yuanyue Academy, I pointed at our pepper cakes, saying it was difficult to get into the elegant hall..."
"This is what a normal person thinks." Erina said.
Shaking his head, Ji Kong said: "Erina, let's help the old lady! At least tonight, we will make this 'Tashima pepper cake' the snack street... no, it will become the most popular food shop in Ginza!"
"I don't agree!" Even though the invitation was his boyfriend, Erina refused without hesitation.
The old lady also said: "Although the pepper cake is simple to make, it is still very difficult for you little babies... Child, I appreciate your kindness, but let it go..."
The old lady had no idea that the one sitting in front of her was one of the top celebrities in Yuanyue Academy and one of the top celebrities in the food industry; the other was not very famous in the cuisine industry, but her cooking skills were definitely the pinnacle.
She also treats Ji Kong and Erina as laymen who are cooking.
"Don't worry, old lady, we're just a errand." Ji Kong said this to the old lady first, and then said to Erina:
"As far as I know, in the assessment of your Yuanyue Academy, there is also the item of 'saving restaurants with poor business'? Since that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to just treat this as an assessment?"
"Um..." Erina felt a little loose.
"And this is our first date. At such a memorable moment, don't you think you should do something special? Otherwise, when we recall it several years later, we may not even know what happened today."
"Okay." Erina was finally convinced, but she also made her own request, "But I just assisted from the side and would never interfere in making the dishes!"
"No problem." Ji Kong agreed with a smile.
...
...
Although she was just running errands, when Ji Sora and Erina showed amazing cooking skills one after another, the old lady automatically gave in.
"How about making the meat stuffing like this?"
"Add ten mg of five-spice powder and chop the chopped green onion."
"Where is pepper?"
"Soak for another five seconds."
"Where is the bread?"
"Print three more times with a rolling pin."
“…”
Erina, who has a god tongue, may not be the top in cooking skills, but her taste in food is definitely at its peak!
With her help, and Ji Kong herself has a perfect cooking skills, the food she makes is definitely the world's top!
Various seasonings were sprinkled in appropriate amounts in Ji Kong's hands as if they had spirituality. In the fragrant bright red meat sauce, Ji Kong added freshly ground black pepper, sesame oil, five-spice powder, and star anise. Then he was about to wipe his hands on the rag. When he rolled up his sleeves, Erina was already approaching from behind and stretched out her delicate little hand to help her roll up her sleeves.
It seemed that he couldn't believe that the Queen could do such a considerate move, Ji Kong looked at her with a stunned look.
"It's not because I want to help you! It's just that the rag is dirty, you'll hold my hand again later." Erina explained with a red face.
"Thanks."
Ji Kong smiled lightly at Erina, and then joined the cooking process again.
