Chapter 217: Practice on the tip of the tongue

The first stop of the trip, R. The destination of this trip is Fukuoka and Hokkaido, with a total of four restaurants.

The main task of going to the local area is to taste the several stores recommended by Adam to them, and the secondary task... You can see the scenery in the local area, soak in the hot springs, and experience the local customs and customs.

Because the goal is clear, the trip took only two days in total and would not affect their live broadcast.

What's more, you can also broadcast live when visiting a shop abroad.

After arriving in Fukuoka, Bai Renzong took Han Jiayi out of the airport and looked around.

"Wow, it feels like it's in the anime..." Bai Renzong said with a smile.

When he came abroad for the first time, Bai Renzong thought he would be a little panicked, but after all, he went to a completely unfamiliar place, but in fact it was fine.

Maybe it's because I've watched too much anime.

"Don't run around, you're abroad." Han Jiayi stepped forward and held his hand, "Follow me, don't get lost."

"Old Bai, the broadcast starts!" Wang Bei raised the camera and smiled happily, waved to Wang Nan behind him, "Old Wang, keep up!"

"Come on..." Wang Nan pulled everyone's two boxes of luggage alone at the end.

At this moment, Bai Renzong turned to the camera and introduced: "Friends, today we came to R-Ben. The first stop was Fukuoka. Our destination was a restaurant called Nagahamaya. This restaurant is a very famous local restaurant, recommended by Chef Adam from Eleven-park. Let's see what he looks like. Let's go and see!"

As he said that, Bai Renzong accelerated to move forward, and Wang Bei handed the camera to Han Jiayi, and she was responsible for being an interpreter.

"Do you know what specialties are in Fukuoka? What about mackerel? " Bai Renzong smiled at the camera in Han Jiayi's hand and said, "Hey, I saw a guess in the barrage. Yes, it's Prince Ming, the fish roe of Mingtai fish. But what's interesting? This thing is actually circulated from Country H."

Barrage: "Then why not go to H country?"

"What's the best thing to go to in H country?" Bai Renzong asked in confusion, "It's not that I look down on it, but the country's food culture is really poor and there is nothing to taste. Then do you know why the food culture in H country is so backward? There is actually a reason for this. Everyone thinks, what do you have to cook? The pot and the spatula require iron smelting."

"At that time, the iron smelting technology in Goryeo was always relatively backward. If there was no iron, what could only be used? The casserole is so good, so this is how the stone pot rice came about. Even the iron is lacking, let alone the meat."

"But everyone should know that the umami flavor in meat comes from amino acids, nucleotides and other things. It just so happens that this amino acid salt and nucleotide can also be produced when pickling soybeans and vegetables. So kimchi and dai paste have developed rapidly in their country as a 'umami flavor agent' to replace meat, and then passed down."

"Later, Goryeo was occupied by Mongolia in the Yuan Dynasty, and the barbecue customs over there continued to the country of H. So the representatives of the country of H are barbecue and kimchi. As for other dishes... they just changed, but their seasoning habits are very monotonous, most of which are sweet and spicy. On the one hand, this is because of the limited seasonings, and on the other hand, the special local climate, which makes them like to eat spicy food to sweat."

"Of course, it's not that they don't have a food culture, but that they are too barren compared to the mainstream food cultures of the world, such as Chinese cuisine, Italian cuisine, and French cuisine, which are too barren, and are not worth a visit."

Barrage: "Simply put, there is too little delicious food." "Everyone eats it, it's instant noodles, kimchi, and barbecue." "That army pot is made from the things I picked up from the beautiful national army back then."

"Hey, this is extreme. Everyone should look at the food culture of various countries rationally and objectively." Bai Renzong expressed his opinion objectively and neutrally. "If time and funds are not affected, I certainly hope that every country will go there, but the reality is that I can only choose some more representative cultures and then select some more famous restaurants from them to show them to everyone."

On the way to the destination, Bai Renzong showed everyone the street scene of Fukuoka.

"To be honest, I don't think it's so developed here." Bai Renzong led Han Jiayi and sneered, "It's not as good as the first-tier cities in our country, and it's not even as good as some second-tier cities. The streets are so narrow..."

"There's just such a place." Han Jiayi said with a smile, "Hey, husband, after we went to Hokkaido to visit the store, let's take some time to go to the hot spring together? It's rare to come."

"Of course, do you think you can escape?" Bai Renzong teased her nose.

"Then it's decided!" Han Jiayi leaned happily on his shoulder.

Next, Wang Bei stepped forward and stopped a taxi and came to their destination.

"Naghamaya".

"As the audience, it's quite fast." Bai Renzong got off the car and looked at the camera and said, "After all, this country is about the same size as ours."

Then, the camera in his hand pointed at the sign above his head: "Look, everyone, Nagahamaya. So what is the signature dish of this store? Mackerel. That's right, I told you before, one of the specialties of Fukuoka, mackerel. This store only makes mackerel, and is very famous in the local area. This store is also a three-star Michelin star, and generally only accepts reservations, but..."

As he said that, Bai Renzong looked at the old man standing in front of the stove in the store. He was about 60 years old, with dark skin and wrinkles on his face as if they were carved out by a knife. He looked like a very strict person, which was very terrifying.

After Bai Renzong entered the store, he asked Wang Bei to say hello, and then handed the "token" that Adam gave him, a gold-inlaid business card, to the boss. The other party raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised, then looked at Bai Renzong and said a few words of Japanese.

"He said that Adam San rarely gives such high praise to a person. Today he must see with his own eyes how powerful you are." Wang Bei translated to Bai Renzong, and then explained: "R Ben also respects these skilled dishes, so Adam should be very respected here."

Bai Renzong felt a little ashamed when he thought of Adam's expression when he asked him to promote him.

Immediately, the boss took them to the store and sat down.

In fact, the space in the store is very narrow. Although there are two floors, each floor has only five tables, so it would be nice to be able to sit twenty people.

It was around 10 o'clock in the morning, because it was not the peak meal period, and there was only one of them in the store.

However, the environment in the store is indeed very quiet and clean, with the boss hanging a Michelin three-star brand behind it.

"Then... let's have a signature flax mackerel, and then a salt-grilled mackerel to order food." Bai Renzong said, looking at the menu.

"I want a raw mackerel set meal and a mackerel perilla roll." Han Jiayi said with a smile.

"Can I ask for two servings all?" Wang Nan said a little embarrassedly, "I have a lot of appetite, and the food in R is relatively small..."

"Just ask for one, I'll have something else to eat later." Wang Bei frowned, and then translated with the boss.

"Hi." The boss responded and began to prepare on the spot.

While the boss was preparing, Bai Renzong started chatting with the barrage.

"Do you like what I just introduced you to the local food culture?" Bai Renzong smiled at the barrage, "Okay, I'll tell you again, I have to prepare for a while anyway. Then, everyone should know that R is an island country. A long time ago, seafood is the main one in their food list, and vegetables are so expensive that they don't eat much meat."

"What is this causing this? I used to be very short. So at that time, I called them Japanese pirates, and I was short, and I followed people and dwarves. For example, what are the heights of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period that R has been blew up? Tokugawa Ieyasu 1.56 meters, Ida Masato 1.59 meters, Sanada Yukimura 1.63 meters, Oda Nobunaga's highest, 1.66 meters."

Barrage: "Is this too short?" "Is this the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period really good?..." "This is the great thing about cultural output."

"But they are already tall." Bai Renzong explained in detail: "Their per capita height in that era was 1.3 meters, while the per capita height in our country was 1.7 meters. Like our famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang were both 1.85 meters, Guan Yu and Lu Bu were even more than two meters tall. It was not until later that the R-ben began to promote drinking milk nationwide, and the per capita height gradually increased."

Barrage: "Interesting." "I like Lao Bai to listen to Lao Bai's introduction." "I commented on it." "+1!"

"Okay, let me talk to you more in the future." Bai Renzong said with a smile, and then added, "It's not that you look down on anyone. It's just an objective explanation of history. These are real data, not made up by me."

Barrage: "The desire to survive is extremely strong."

It is still beneficial to be abroad. People can't understand what they say and can speak freely.

We were chatting with the barrage here, and the food was also on the other side.

Bai Renzong first looked at Hu Maomao, and his heart suddenly became sank and a little disappointed: "Isn't this just sashimi?"

A small round plate with seven slices of mackerel meat arranged in a circle, decorated with some green vegetables, and a lump of wasabi sauce in the center of the fish, and a slice of lemon was placed.

To be honest, Bai Renzong doesn’t like the cooking method of sashimi because he doesn’t feel that there is any technical content. He just cuts the fish into thin slices to highlight the umami flavor of the seafood itself, and the sauce is just a setback.

However, the mackerel in front of him seemed a little mysterious. He carries the sauce that looks like sesame paste, and there is a lot of white granular substances sprinkled on it. Soaked in the sauce, it is impossible to tell whether it is garlic paste or peanut crushed.

Then, his salt-grilled mackerel was served, a whole salt-grilled mackerel, a bowl of razor clam miso soup and an egg roll.

"Then, let's try the sashimi first." Bai Renzong said, picking up a piece of flax mackerel and dipping it in some wasabi and eating it.

"I'm sorry..." Bai Renzong lowered his head solemnly and explained to the camera: "I shouldn't underestimate the cuisine culture of other countries. This is a very arrogant behavior and I was taught a lesson."

As he said that, Bai Renzong pointed the camera at the plate of flax mackerel: "First talk about this sauce, I found a little bit. What I had in China before was not authentic wasabi sauce, but counterfeit products made of horseradish. Do you know that the real wasabi tastes very soft? It was a bit choking when eaten, but it was not as irritating as the domestic horseradish sauce."

At this time, the boss explained to him, and Wang Bei helped him translate: "He said that the ones you bought are all fake wasabi sauce, and the real wasabi tastes very soft. Their shops use high-end wasabi, a soft coin of about one thousand soft girls. In addition, special tools are used to grind wasabi, which is a grinding plate made of shark skin."

The boss also took out the grinding board and showed it to Bai Renzong. It looked a bit like a square ping-pong racket, and there were rough particles on the square part in front.

"Oh, that's it..." Bai Renzong suddenly realized, and then sighed: "I really learned it."

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little grateful: It was so great to come out this trip. As expected, you have to see the outside world in order to break through your current limitations.

"But, it's not just a little difference between wasabi," Bai Renzong frowned, "Let me talk about the sauce first. In addition to wasabi, this brown sauce is made of sesame paste and soy sauce, but it is a soy sauce they use specifically for sushi and sashimi, called vinegar soy sauce, and then there are peanuts and sesame crumbs..."

Wang Bei was translating what Bai Renzong said to the boss, and the boss just nodded silently.

However, then Bai Renzong pondered: "No, there is another material here... I know that this taste is a bit like a pear, but it is a little thinner and does not have the graininess of pears. This very refreshing sweetness..."

The boss looked at him confidently, as if waiting for him to give the answer.

"It's water chestnut." After thinking about it, Bai Renzong firmly gave his answer, "It's the horse's hoof."

As soon as he said this, the boss suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, and then gave a thumbs up: "Oh—! Si Guoyi."

"Oh, I can understand this sentence." Bai Renzong smiled.

Barrage: "I understand too." "He is praising Lao Bai for being powerful."

The boss then explained, and Wang Bei helped him translate: "He said that water chestnuts are rare in the R-book. They are called 'longevity vegetables'. They are all imported from our country and are high-end ingredients. After he used them, he found that this ingredient matches the taste of mackerel, which can perfectly eliminate the fishy smell and provide a very elegant sweetness."

Bai Renzong shook his head: "No, the key to this dish is not here... Although the sauce is very good, it is definitely not the sauce that makes this simple sashimi so outstanding. After eating it, it is like the taste of flowers blooming in the mouth. It is not the same level as the sashimi I have eaten. This taste seems to have been eaten somewhere, but it is a bit different."

Bai Renzong thought hard, but never got the answer. He had no relevant knowledge, which shows that the mystery of this sashimi must not be the materials used, but the cooking skills.

"I understand." Han Jiayi secretly tasted his quash mackerel and replied: "It's the knife flower!"
