In the face of Dongying culture, Chinese people do not feel strange many times, such as this kind of Japanese garden, walking in it will have a familiar feeling, this familiar feeling comes from the cultural inheritance engraved by the ancestors in the depths of the genes, so people's mood will be extraordinarily good.

It is very ironic that in this era, Chinese people often have to go to Dongying or South Korea to truly appreciate the relics of Chinese culture.

There were no signboards here, and I didn't know what this place was, until two Dongying insurance salesmen took Cang Hao to a gazebo, and Cang Hao realized that this was a private restaurant.

The gazebo is still in the Dongying style, built of solid wood, this kind of gazebo is not a room, so it is transparent in all directions, but the eaves of the gazebo hang delicate silk curtains, which not only block the gentle breeze, but also ensure that the people in the gazebo have a certain privacy.

Next to the pavilion lies a strange stone, on which are written in thin gold characters with two large black characters "empty" and "zen".

There are a lot of green bamboos planted around the pavilion, which are lush and green, and with the breeze blowing, there is a light sound of "brushing".

It's a beautiful environment and there's a sense of Zen everywhere, you don't have to do anything, just sit here and enjoy it.

If it weren't for the two Dongying people who brought Cang Hao in, this would be the traditional style of China at all, but unfortunately, the Chinese people have thrown away their good things over the years, but they have been inherited by the Dongying people.

The pavilion is covered with tatami mats and a small Japanese table with simple tableware.

The two insurance salesmen nodded vigorously at Cang Hao: "Mr. Cang, please wait here." ”

The two Toei people left, and after a while, two other people came, all dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos.

One of them was not young, he was already gray-haired, his expression was very serious, and there was almost no movement of his facial organs except for the constant movement of his eyes.

The other younger, about forty years old, walked in and extended his hand to Cang Hao very enthusiastically, and greeted him in a slightly stiff Mandarin Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Cang." ”

"Hello. Cang Hao shook hands with the other party: "I don't know who you are?"

"Nomura Taira. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "President Nomura Co., Ltd." ”

Cang Hao glanced at the old man: "What about this one?"

Nomura Hei helped, "Ryunosuke Eguchi, chairman of the representative director of Ishikawajima Heavy Industries. ”

Cang Hao has a little impression of Ishikawajima Heavy Industries, which is the most important heavy industry enterprise in Dongying, with a history of more than 100 years, participated in the manufacture of warships and aircraft during World War II, and continued to grow through mergers and acquisitions after World War II, and has now become the most important national defense equipment supplier in Dongying.

However, Cang Hao didn't understand another word: "What is the chairman of the representative director?"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't elaborate, but the so-called representative 'chairman of the director' is the so-called chairman of the board of directors of you, and I, the president, is equivalent to the general manager of Huaxia, and the correct title in Dongying is 'president of the director'. Nomura said with a smile, "Mr. Eguchi doesn't know Chinese, so I'm sorry he can't talk to you personally." ”

The politeness of the Toei people is really not boasted, although Ryunosuke Eguchi does not speak Chinese, he shook his hand with Cang Hao, and then said something in Toei.

Nomura Ping immediately translated: "Chairman Eguchi is saying that he has admired Mr. Cang's name for a long time, and it is an honor to finally have the honor to meet Mr. Cang today." ”

Cang Hao asked with a smile: "Is there anything you invited me to come?"

Nomura didn't answer immediately, but made a gesture of please: "Mr. Cang, let's sit down first." ”

Nomura Hei and Eguchi Ryunosuke kneel there in a regular manner, and Toei people kneel and sit very knowledgeable, with the center of gravity on the heels, the ankles separated in an inverted figure, and the buttocks between the ankles.

The so-called "sitting" of the Toei people is actually this kind of kneeling sitting, kneeling for a long time, the legs will be numb, so you can't wear jeans or other tight pants, a wide kimono is the most suitable.

The clothing of each ethnic group is consistent with its living habits, but other ethnic groups are really not suitable for this living habits, so Cang Hao just sat there cross-legged.

Nomura didn't care, and introduced: "This place is called Senhonke, and it is the best kaiseki cuisine in Guangsha City, and few people know about it. ”

"Kaiseki cuisine?" Cang Hao was slightly stunned: "Is there any difference from ordinary Japanese food?"

"The so-called 'kaiseki' was originally a monk who put a hot stone on his abdomen during zazen meditation to combat the feeling of hunger. Therefore, this kind of cuisine originated in Zen Taoism, where monks listened to Zen and held a stone for 'kaiseki', and later there were refreshments specially prepared for Zen monks, and later it evolved into kaiseki cuisine. After a pause, Nomura Taira continued, "Mr. Cang can be understood that kaiseki cuisine is a form of Japanese cuisine, and it is also the highest level, and it must be entertained to distinguished guests. Kaiseki cuisine uses only seasonal ingredients from the four seasons, and has developed to this day using some European cooking methods, which can be described as a combination of local and foreign cuisine in Chinese terms. ”

There are many foreigners here in Guangsha, and they form their own circles with different nationalities, and Dongying people have their own circles, and they have a fixed place for daily life.

Cang Hao understood that kaiseki cuisine is equivalent to a private dish in China, with no signs, no advertising, and only for a specific group of customers.

It is conceivable that the consumption here must be very high, and it is not something that ordinary Dongying people can come.

Sure enough, Nomura Ping told Cang Hao again: "There is only one table of guests here every day, and you need to book in advance, and most of them are consumed by the executives of Dongying enterprises in Guangsha, and only such a place can be matched with distinguished guests like Mr. Cang." ”

Ryunosuke Eguchi said something more in Toei next to him, and Nomura hurriedly translated: "Mr. Eguchi said that the biggest feature of kaiseki cuisine is that it emphasizes the unity of people and scenery, and when you enjoy the food, you can enjoy the scenery of the garden, and you can enjoy your taste buds and eyes as well. ”

While Nomura was talking, the first course had already been served, one serving per person, and the content was very simple, it was a cut sea urchin.

"The sea urchins here are the freshest, ordered directly from the marina and only one out of ten can be picked out that meets the criteria. Nomura continued, "In Toei, sea urchins are called undan, and the freshly peeled sea urchin will definitely make you feel the breath of the sea. Mr. Cang should remember that I just said that kaiseki cuisine is a combination of earth and ocean, and this sea urchin is seasoned with hyssop, and hyssop grassland is produced in the Mediterranean, not all of Toying. ”

Cang Hao tasted it and felt that the taste was really good, and it had a unique flavor.

The sea urchin was eaten in a few bites, and the next dish was beef, with Italian white wine in the sauce.

In general, kaiseki cuisine is very particular, from the setting of the tableware to the preparation of the ingredients.

Just like ordinary Japanese cuisine, kaiseki cuisine seeks to bring out the original flavor of the food, but it is made with such attention that each dish looks like a handicraft.

In addition, each dish has one thing in common, and that is that the portions are surprisingly small.

Cang Hao's kind of gluttony, two or three bites can eliminate a dish, although the dish makes the taste buds enjoy it very much, but it doesn't feel anything when it falls into the stomach, after all, the taste is too bland.

Anyway, someone has a treat, and Cang Hao is also very generous, and he doesn't stop eating.

Nomura Ping took a sip of sake and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Cang is really a wise and brave person!"

Cang Hao smiled: "Why did such a sentence suddenly pop up?"

"When you came here, you didn't know who we were, and you ate it when we invited you to dinner...... Nomura Ping sighed: "Isn't Mr. Cang worried that there is no poison in the food!"

"If there is poison in the food...... Cang Hao smiled nonchalantly, "I promise that in an hour you will be razed to the ground here!"

"I believe it!" Nomura laughed: "So the food is not poisonous, Mr. Cang can enjoy it, we have absolutely no hostility towards Mr. Cang!"

"Whether you are hostile or not, let me judge. Cang Hao put down his chopsticks and asked lightly: "This meal should have cost a lot of money, now you should say, why did you invite me to eat this meal, it can't be that there is no place to spend too much money!"

"I sent two of my men to invite Mr. Cang, it is said that it is not very polite......" Nomura Ping still did not answer positively: "Originally, I wanted to visit in person, but the current situation is more delicate, and I am not suitable for showing up, so I can only let my subordinates go down, I hope Mr. Cang will not mind!"

"Don't mind. Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "Nomura Taira...... If I'm not mistaken, you should have come to China to deal with the Nomura bombing!"

"Mr. Cang is wise!" Nomura nodded his head: "I'm usually not in Huaxia, but this time the matter is very serious, so I have to deal with it personally!"

Cang Hao asked again: "Then what is Mr. Eguchi coming to China for?"

"Mr. Eguchi is a good friend of mine, and this time I came to Huaxia specifically for Mr. Cang......" Nomura Ping smiled mysteriously: "As for the reason why he is looking for Mr. Cang, I will answer later!"

You can also not answer at all. Cang Hao nodded: "Of course I know about the explosion of Nomura Co., Ltd., but it has nothing to do with me, I don't know what you came to me for." ”

"I know that in the past period of time, Mr. Cang and our Dongying people didn't seem to be very pleasant......" Speaking of this, Nomura Ping sighed helplessly: "It's mainly those people from the Changzhou Clan, who first launched a provocation against the Blood Lion mercenaries, and then developed virus weapons. But I want Mr. Aoi to understand that not all Toei people are militarists, and Nomura Co., Ltd. is just a peaceful businessman, but now it has become a victim of terrorism. ”

"I deeply sympathize!" Cang Hao pouted: "However, the police have already intervened, I am just a civilian, and I can't help!"
