Chapter 36: Mixing circles
Close your eyes, in the vast grassland, with the cloudless blue sky overhead, the breeze blowing, and you can't help but lie among the soft grass, the tip of your nose is full of vibrant smell.
Not far away, a cow strolls over, gently crawling beside it, its big eyes convey kindness and peace, as if it has been friends for many years, enjoying the tranquility and tranquility of nature together.
The grass is spread across the field for six or seven miles, and the flute makes three or four sounds of the evening breeze.
After returning to eat and dusk, he did not take off his clothes and lay down in the moonlight.
"It's so delicious!" Tang Hong was full of enjoyment and said excitedly: "It is worthy of the legendary noble cow who drinks beer every day and kills chickens, and it is worthy of its name!"
"I heard that the local black-haired cow who has never given birth does not have to work at all, and takes care of it leisurely every day, raises it for three years, eats not grass, but barley and bean cake, and drinks beer, and massages it with soju, which is ......."
Johnson laughed, in his opinion, Wagyu beef is fragrant, a thick incense, chewed carefully, soft without losing chewiness, and slightly sweet, and when chewed thoroughly, swallowed into the stomach, there is still a lingering aroma between the teeth and cheeks.
Serving eel rice, as a chef is looking forward to this, Wagyu beef relies on natural ingredients, and the processing requirements are very low, but it is eel rice, which is more of a test of kung fu.
I grilled the eel with my own sensibility, and it was the battle on the brazier, the strength of the fire, the placement of the fire, these subtleties that I had to pursue as a craftsman—Kanjiro Kanemoto
The god of the island nation of eels, the god of sushi, Jiro Ono, the god of tempura, Tetsuya Saotome, and SC Johnson have watched documentaries, and they are more craftsmen than chefs.
The all-natural eel is processed by the method of back killing, first grilled and then steamed, dipped in a secret sauce and then grilled, and turned over 36 times when grilled.
There was a stinging sound in my ears, and when the skin and flesh were shining golden colors, I saw a faint white smoke around the eel, and the fragrance of golden fatty oil dripping on the charcoal......
Cut for three years, skewer for eight years, and bake for a lifetime!
First, pick up the rice and soak it in the eel juice, the skin is crispy, with a hint of caramel, and there is no gelatinous texture. The sauce is refreshing, neither sweet nor greasy, and comes with a small pot of juice.
The rice is also very particular, the heat is in place, tough and juice-absorbing. Only the flattened eel is no longer fluffy, and it tastes more crispy and less tender.
Johnson shook his head, a little disappointed, it was still much worse than the amazement of Kobe beef. Have the opportunity to go to the island country and try the craftsmanship of the so-called three gods for yourself.
Tang Hong next to him ate happily, after the wind and clouds wiped out the Wagyu sashimi, he feasted on the eel rice, and there was no reserve of beauties in front of the food.
Johnson put down his chopsticks and picked up the soup next to him, and his eyes lit up, the spring bamboo shoots were as white as jade, crisp and fresh, especially suitable for stewing. Before serving, the seasonal wood sprouts are mixed in, and the taste is refreshing, and each bite seems to lick the taste of spring.
I have eaten more than a dozen dishes, which is worthy of kaiseki cuisine, and my stomach is only six or seven points full. The kimono girl concludes with a few plates of water, which is a fruit dessert after the meal.
The glass dishes are served with gold edges, and the bowls and spoons are frozen in advance to maintain the cold temperature of the dessert. A milk ice cream, a few glutinous rice balls, and a few clear white fungus, soaked in the sweet soup of red beans.
"I like the dairy products of the island country the most, the red bean soup is rich and there is no okara, the sweetness is enough, the white fungus is crispy, and the milk ice cream has a strong milky flavor, which melts slowly in the red bean soup. ”
Tang Hong finished eating the last bite of dessert, and said unsatisfied: "My favorite is glutinous rice dumplings, chewing very hard, but the number of pieces is too small to eat enough, hey......"
SC Johnson felt the pleading eyes of a kitten, waved his hand, packed two servings and took them away, so that you could go back and eat slowly.
When he went out, Tang Hong looked at the bill and sighed: "Good guy, more than 30,000 yuan, just half full!"
SC Johnson was quite satisfied, and the Kobe beef sashimi was an unexpected and impressive surprise. Others are okay, mainly the service and environment, the sense of ceremony is enough, and it is very forced.
Sending Tang Hong home, now with two assistants, it is convenient to work overtime, and the packaged dessert is a small gift to comfort the two little girls who are chattering.
went home to take a hot bath, Meimei lay on the massage chair to rest, WeChat rang, it was Su Yun, her father was discharged from the hospital safely, and returned to the capital the day after tomorrow.
Johnson didn't reply, it was originally to do good deeds, help if he could, and do good deeds to accumulate virtue. If the other party really has backbone, pay back the money slowly, and don't mind helping more.
If you don't pay it back, it doesn't matter, as long as you are not a liar, forget about each other, bye bye!
"North Lake Nine?"
As soon as I arrived at the club in the morning, the beautiful woman at the front desk sent an invitation letter and said respectfully: "Beihu No. 9 is the top golf club in Beijing, and the owner is also our senior member, and we regularly hold parties several times a year. ”
"These three days are specially arranged for senior members to charter the venue, and the chairman will also go, so if you have time, you can go and have fun. ”
Johnson has heard of this rule, and members of the Chang'an Club often hold some parties, such as tea clubs, fishing clubs, and wine clubs, and mingle in small circles under various names.
Put away the invitation and plan to go around in the afternoon. I've never understood why rich people like golf, but this is a hands-on experience.
Driving straight to the North Lake Canal of the Fifth Ring Road, Xia Long introduced: "Speaking of which, since the establishment of the capital in the Yuan Dynasty, it has been an important place for soldiers. Since the Ming Dynasty, it has become a hunting ground for the royal family, and the Qing Dynasty has once again stationed troops and prospered for hundreds of years. In recent years, as an important green belt, the water and soil are abundant and beautiful, ensuring the health of one party. ”
Soon to the place, parking to the main entrance, the gray gatehouse to the face of the golden book Beihu Jiu, vigorous and powerful, Chinese style bones rushing to the face.
Walking inside, there are several Chinese-style buildings of different sizes, with gray and white as the main colors, which is simple and atmospheric. Blue bricks and gray tiles, pink walls and white walls, and some Jiangnan residential courtyards in the shape, classical and exquisite.
"Mr. Zhuang, my surname is Li, and I am your personal advisor, please come here. ”
Show an invitation, accompanied by a private advisor, followed by two caddies with par on their backs, and tour the course first.
"Nine is the largest number in culture, plus the artificial lake built in our clubhouse on a large scale, all over the world, just the infinite number of nine......"
"We have a super high specification, not inferior to the world level golf lawn, every year from the spring of April to the end of the early winter in mid-November, four seasons of the year super long grass ......"
"Thick and dense trimming, there will be no shallow grass exposed soil, and there will be no muddy water, when you really step on it, you will understand the true meaning of good grass......
The caddie drove the shuttle bus, and the consultant talked while visiting, and after a trip, it deserved to be a top club, and the environment was very good, even if he couldn't play, he could see the professionalism and intentions.
No wonder the annual fee is $250,000, and you get what you pay for.
After the visit, he returned to the rest area, and the consultant took out a gold card and handed it to Johnson: "Our boss is also a senior member of the club, this is a welcome gift, please be sure to accept it." ”
"There is a private banquet in the evening, specially for guests like you, and our boss will personally preside over it at that time, and I hope Mr. Zhuang can enjoy his face. ”
I really can't refuse, so I have to accept it, it's a big deal to charge the membership fee for another two years, the air here is good, and it's okay to inhale oxygen.
Immediately arrange a beautiful woman's personal training, hand-in-hand teaching, starting from the grip of the pole, I found it quite interesting. Eighteen holes walk down for several kilometers, step on the comfortable lawn, breathe in the fresh air, no wonder they all like to come here to talk business.
SC Johnson found it interesting to buy two sets of sportswear, a set of premium clubs, and a year's worth of dues. The boss of the dinner attached great importance to it, and specially arranged the largest banquet hall to entertain the senior members of the Chang'an Club, which was chartered for three days and not open to the public.
"Lao Zheng, you're fat again, what have you been busy with lately?"
"I heard that you have two more plots of land in the east, are you really going to engage in tourism real estate?"
"Hey, the market has been bad recently, and the bank loan is in a hurry, so let's slow it down first, and then talk about it after the New Year. ”
"Is Sister Chen coming today? No one answered the phone, and she went abroad again?"
Thirty or forty senior members arrived, gathered together to chat, Johnson sat next to him, leisurely coiled walnuts, he was the youngest in the audience, and he was not famous in the circle, I really don't know what to talk about with fifty or sixty-year-old old men?
