Chapter 428 Lydia's friend

Kaiseki cuisine is a delicacy that emphasizes style, but since it emphasizes style, there must be many rules, which is very unfriendly for hungry people. When Liu Jinpeng and his group entered this Kaiseki restaurant called "Jinyou", they did not understand the rules and chose a room with a view of the courtyard and the pond, and also chose the pine set with the most portion.

The owner of this restaurant is Uega Motoji, which is also a ancestral business. He heard that some customers chose the pine set meal and came to say hello. Uega is very enthusiastic and has the pleasure of introducing the history and interesting stories of Kaiseki cuisine to the guests. But the problem is that there are at least two hungry guests here. After waiting around, the dishes are not seen. Liu Mei asked in English: "Mr. Uega, are your serving chefs lost?"

Unaemon Motoji laughed. He had seen many such guests, so he specifically explained: "Kaiseki cuisine is like this. After the guests order the dishes, the chef will make it now, so the guests need to have more patience to taste the essence of it."

Lydia was not afraid of offending others, so she said quietly: "Kaiseki cuisine means that there are many kinds of ingredients, small portions, and slow serving. This is the characteristic. The ones who come to eat this are the mood."

Ye Ling couldn't help but say, "It's so hungry. I think I'm going to starve to death before the food comes. Brother Yixiu, what should I do?"

Liu Jinpeng didn't expect that the so-called top-grade cuisine was like this. The local bun finally made a fool of himself. The Kaiseki cuisine is the same as the top-grade French Western cuisine. Just looking at it is enough, and it doesn't make you hungry. In desperation, Liu Jinpeng pointed to Ye Ling's small bag and said, "If you can't stand it, just eat some snacks. Didn't you buy the same food just now? I have a few boxes for the children, so you can eat yours."

The boss of Yugai wiped his sweat and said, "Don't worry, guests, I'll go to the kitchen to check it out, and soon the appetizers came." After that, he flashed, his eyes were gone, thinking that he had never seen such a starving ghost reincarnated, and he had to eat something when he entered the door. This is not a store selling udon noodles.

Ye Ling didn't care what he said, and opened the packaging of the fruit and started eating. He was humming while eating. Liu Mei looked at Ye Ling happily and couldn't help licking her lips. Seeing her pitiful look, Liu Jinpeng took the initiative to take a box to her, and Liu Mei was not polite. She ate three pocket and fruit in one bite. After Ye Ling ate about ten fruit and fruit, she felt much better. She stuffed a few more for Liu Jinpeng. As for Lydia, it was fine, but it wasn't enough for her to eat.

After placing your stomach here, the appetizer finally came. The order of serving this Kaiseki cuisine is as particular as a French meal. There are 14 dishes in total. The first appetizer is called "First Attached". The small-looking dish seems to be half a sea urchin in the dish. There is a little paste inside the sea urchin and half a piece of rice dumpling leaves are spread outside. Liu Jinpeng guessed that Ye Ling can also be stuffed with this thing.

The second dish is called Ba Cun, which is seasonal sushi and a few side dishes. When served, it is a gold-spreaded square plate. There is a small bowl of miso soup in the upper left corner, two tuna sushi in the upper right corner, and in the middle is a parquet side dish, including two slices of beef, two squares of cheese, and a brown-red semicircular stain. The overall shape is very good, but it really doesn't matter.

Next were seasonal sashimi, vegetables, meat, fish, tofu and stewed, seasonal grilled fish, etc. When the strong dishes were made, Liu Jinpeng thought that he had finally served the main course, but the beef served was only half a palm-sized size, not enough to swallow it in one bite. Fortunately, the next one was the next, which was the imperial rice, that is, rice and other staple foods and side dishes, and finally I could eat a small bowl of rice, which was really not easy.

Finally, there were pickled vegetables and soy soup. The ending was dessert. The peach meat was quite delicious. This was probably the only dish in the whole meal that was praised by everyone. Finally, Liu Jinpeng paid the bill and found that the average meal cost 24,000 yen per person, and he was not full at all. He probably had to find a place to eat another meal when he went out. This was not as good as when he was in Osaka, Asuka invited everyone to eat full, and the price was even more expensive.

It was the first time that Liu Mei and Ye Ling had kaiseki cuisine. They both swore that they would never eat this tormenting thing again in their lives. Not only was the slow food served, but the portion was very small. Fortunately, they chose the pine set meal with the most weight. Both of them were like this. You can imagine other bamboo and plum set meals. Although Lydia had different opinions, she knew that she could not convince the hungry people, so she simply stopped talking.

Liu Jinpeng planned to flip through the manual again, and Liu Mei said, "Don't flip through that. Let's walk along the road and go in and eat when you see any good ones. I don't believe it anymore. Could it be that there are all such shops here?"

This is not bad. I walked around and found something that seemed good and went in to eat. In the end, I finally solved the problem by relying on the ramen restaurant. After eating a bowl of udon noodles, Ye Ling wiped his mouth with satisfaction and sighed: "The Japanese are really hardworking. It turns out that the simple working people are the most realistic. A bowl of noodles is more full than the whole set meal."

When Liu Jinpeng came in, he saw the sign that said "Big Belly Man Free", so he instigated Lin Lin and Eva to eat the Big Belly Man Set Meal. Of course, Lin Lin obeyed the order. Eva disdained to do this, but was convinced by Liu Jinpeng in the name of energy crisis. The Big Belly Man Set Meal is a full ramen filled with a bowl of sea. Each bowl has a diameter of half a meter. There are 3 bowls in total, and if you can't finish it, you have to pay the full amount.

As a result, the owner of the ramen shop was about to cry. Lin Lin and Eva were of the bottomless pit type. At the end of the meal, the boss begged them not to eat. There was no need to pay for the previous ones, and they only asked the two beauties to be generous. Liu Jinpeng just teased him and did not really make them lose all his money, so he bought a few snacks to talk about compensation. Everyone ate this meal a bit, including Lydia, who had been saying that she had been full before. She took advantage of Ye Ling and Liu Mei to hold on and ate all the snacks that Liu Jinpeng bought.

Then he walked back to the parking lot. Lydia was busy contacting friends from the film and television industry and entertainment industry, saying that she would invite people to Zeguan Town for a few days. As long as she didn't take people to live at home, she would do whatever she wanted. Ye Ling liked to rely on Liu Jinpeng when she had enough. Of course, Liu Mei was not willing to be outdone. The two of them were on the same side. Liu Jinpeng joked: "You two are like this, and I am a personal scale."

Liu Mei started to argue with Ye Ling again, and she said, "I may have to be heavier here, it's too much burden, I'm worried."

Ye Ling angrily fought back: "I think there is too much fat, but it's not that small enough to weigh the scale."

Liu Jinpeng quickly stopped them and shouted: "To be harmonious and stable, you should talk slowly when you go home, so don't let others see internal conflicts on the way."

After returning to the parking lot to pick up the car, Lydia got in and said, "A few friends are here to play. Are you interested in meeting?"

Liu Mei is not very interested in this. The directors and screenwriters in the Japanese film and television industry are just like the ones who are there, and there are basically no ones who go abroad to win awards. Ye Ling is interested in asking: "Who are there? See if I recognize them."

Lydia rarely met someone interested and quickly said, "There are NHK producer Kenta Nakajima, director Tosaburo Hiraga, and screenwriter Kyoo Nakagawa." These people are almost all NHK-related households. Lydia introduced that these are all producers of this year's Okawa drama, and she also plans to stuff an American actor into Okawa drama, and she doesn't know what role she can play.

The so-called Dakawa drama is a historical drama filmed by Japanese NHK that has been verified through so-called rigorous historical research. Unlike domestic historical dramas, Japanese Dakawa drama mainly describes the history indirectly based on the changes of a certain character or family in the long river of history, so the rigorousness requirements are relatively high. However, Liu Jinpeng also knows the changes in Dakawa drama in recent years. The rigourism is gradually lost, and more fictional stories and allowing idol stars to play the main roles. This shows that the ratings of Dakawa drama are also declining year by year.

In the final analysis, it is because Japan's history is too short, and there are only a few times that are really popular and can attract public ratings. For example, the Warring States Period and the Makuma-South Period. The time span of these two eras is only more than 200 years ago, and even fewer people can attract public interest. After filming such storms such as Hideyoshi, Nobunaga, Shingen, Ieyasu, Masamune, etc., there is nothing that can attract people.

For example, the crossroads of fame and fortune that I photographed in the past few years were not very attractive. Although Yamauchi Ichitoki was the lord of the Tosa vassal state who ended up being in Shikoku Island, he was simply an optional person in the Warring States Period. I guess even Asai Nagamasa, who is also a so-called "Sai Nagamasa" is more famous than him, although Asai Nagamasa is usually famous because of his wife.

In fact, Ye Ling has no interest in Dahe Drama. She really doesn't pay attention to foreign history. Liu Mei knows Dahe Drama, but she prefers to watch "Dao", which shows that women's aesthetics tend to be more drama-like than rigorous historical dramas. Lydia feels that she has nothing to say to these two women, so she can only talk about Dahe Drama this year to Liu Jinpeng. Liu Jinpeng can say a few words, but unfortunately, Liu Mei and Ye Ling's eyes swept over and he shut up.

It was already 5:30 pm when I returned to Zeguan Town, Otsu City. This order was just for dinner, but everyone was quite full, so I was not in a hurry to have a meal. There were indeed women among Lydia's friends. They looked like they were in their thirties, and they were about the same age as the female general Imai Imai. She introduced herself to Yuri Nakano, and she is currently an actress. However, Lydia quietly said to Liu Mei: "She is actually in her forties, can't she tell me, right?"

Yuri Nakano's face looks a bit similar to Asuka, both of which are strong women. And Nakano looks more independent, and Asuka looks a little softer than her. However, Nakano's speech is quite kind and uses good respect, and is a woman who can make people feel more comfortable getting along.

Liu Jinpeng didn't want to attend their party, but Lydia felt that there were too few people on her side and it was not lively enough, so she strongly asked Liu Jinpeng and Liu Mei to come and have fun. Ye Ling luckily avoided the invitation and ran home with Lin Lin. Eva had no choice but to follow Liu Jinpeng to make safety. There was no bodyguard among the group, so Eva also seemed very special, but it definitely didn't care about other people's gazes. (To be continued...)
