Chapter 242: Visiting an Izakaya at Night
The night is low, and the lights are dim......
"Damn! this woman won't fool us, why can't she come down?" Wuyan took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and with a precise ejection, the cigarette butt bounced directly into the trash can opposite. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You made an appointment, then you just wait. Liu Mang was also a little impatient and glared at him.
said that he would meet downstairs at the hotel at seven o'clock, but now more than half an hour has passed, and Xiao Chengcheng is still missing.
"Don't, boss. Women, there must be a lot of things. Five-eyed smiled.
"Mr. Jiro, are there any special places in Kyoto at night, especially the food that is more famous? Liu Mang ignored him, turned his head and asked Jiro Ida, who came out together.
"Well, there is. Jiro Ida thought for a moment, "Kyoto is most famous for its nights in bars and Kabukicho, and usually people in Kyoto are not in a hurry to go home after work, but go there to sit for a while. ”
"Kabukicho?" The fat man with five eyes, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss, let's go there and see!"
"Don't go!" Liu Mang knew what he was thinking, and refused without thinking about it: "Mr. Jiro, is there a place to eat, it is best to have special food." ”
Liu Mangjun, Dongying people like to choose izakaya for dinner at night, which is the favorite place for office workers. ”
"Okay, let's fill our stomachs first. Liu Mang took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "Do you want to wait for her?"
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting!" When Liu Mang hesitated, Xiao Chengcheng finally walked out of the hotel.
"Beauty, this dress tonight is really dazzling!" Seeing Xiao Chengcheng, his five eyes lit up, and he looked like a pig brother.
Xiao Chengcheng should have been carefully dressed up tonight, with tight leather pants and boots, a loose white coat on his upper body, and a big red scarf around him.
"Liu Mangjun, there is a nice izakaya on the side of the hotel, let's go there and eat something first." Jiro Ida suggested.
"It's fine. Liu Mang nodded.
Jiro Ida led the group around the hotel and into the side street, about a block or two, and turned into a small alley.
The alley is not large and can accommodate up to one car. On both sides of the alley are low-rise two-story buildings, most of which are hung with red lanterns in front of the buildings, which is quite a bit of the feeling of fireworks in Chinese costume dramas.
"Here, Liu Mangjun, please! This is a tavern I often come to, and their food here is very delicious. Jiro Ida stopped at the door of an izakaya.
At the entrance of the izakaya stands a small stone monument with two ancient seal characters for 'Bird Garden'.
Pushing open the wooden sliding door, Liu Mang probed into the house. As soon as I entered the house, I was almost shocked by the sound coming from inside.
"Grandma's! this is too noisy, isn't it?" complained Five-Eyes.
The area of this Izuya is not large, it is about the same as the cooking house of Ida Huaishu, and it is only more than 200 square meters.
In this small space, it was already full of people, mostly men.
Most of these people loosened their ties, opened their clothes, drank and punched, and shouted loudly, which was completely different from the Dongying people who usually saw polite and polite people who had to bow when they met.
"Liu Mangjun, the life of Kyoto people is relatively stressful, and loud noises are prohibited in public places in Toei, so only in places like izakaya can you release your stress without worrying about the surroundings. Jiro Ida explained.
"It's all the same, it's all the same, the wine is bold and intimidating!" "Five-eyed snorted in understanding.
"Upstairs, please, upstairs is a quiet room with tatami mats. Jiro Ida greeted.
Walking up a narrow wooden ladder, the group came to the second floor of the izakaya.
The second floor is indeed much quieter than the first floor, and it is full of small private rooms separated by paper wooden windows.
A woman in a red kimono with heavy makeup on her face trotted over with small steps and led everyone into one of the boxes. Then he brought clogs, knelt down and neatly arranged the shoes that everyone had changed.
"Boss, this Dongying woman is indeed quite gentle. Five Eyes sighed.
"Well, it may have something to do with the inferiority of men and women in Dongying society, right? Jiro-kun?" asked Liu Mang.
"That's right, our Dongying women generally don't go out to work after getting married, they only teach their husbands and children at home with peace of mind, in Dongying culture, women handle housework and serve their husbands, which is a kind of vocation. ”
"I don't agree with this, even if you have a husband and children, you can have your own hobbies and jobs, stay at home all day and be busy on the stove, what's the difference between this and a caged bird?" After sitting down, Xiao Chengcheng couldn't help but retort.
"Haha, this beautiful lady, then you are wrong. Jiro Ida laughed: "In Toei, it is women who live the freeest, and the best money is also women's money, especially married women." ”
"Why?" Xiao Chengcheng asked curiously.
"Because in Dongying, women are in charge of the family's finances. The husband had to pay his monthly salary, leaving only a small amount of pocket money. Women have money and time, so their ability to spend is naturally greater. ”
"Hee-hee, that's not bad. Xiao Chengcheng covered his mouth and chuckled: "Is Mr. Jiro's family the same?"
"Uh, the same, the same. Jiro Ida scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Fortunately, my wife is more generous, and she gives a lot of pocket money every month, which is enough for me." ”
After a while, the woman in the kimono walked in with a tray, knelt down, and placed the beer, mug, and a plate of side dishes on the table.
"Liu Mangjun, please try our beer. Jiro Ida picked up the bottle and filled it for everyone.
"This is a Kirin beer that is sold directly from Dongying, using the 'Ichiban Pressing' process, which only extracts the first wort and never mixes the second wort. Since there is less astringency in the first wort that seeps out of the malt husk, the taste is very good, and it is a truly premium beer. ”
"Okay. Liu Mang nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip.
The color of this beer in a large glass bottle is more yellow than ordinary beer, the foam is finely crushed, and there is no astringency after the mouth, which is very pure and smooth.
"Yes, yes!" said Goyan, draining his glass of wine in one gulp, burping, and complimenting.
When it came to wine, Liu Mang remembered that the winery that he had finalized with Lin Xiao and Li Ruonan last time had been acquired, and he was waiting for him to go back and try to make the first batch of wine.
There is also space for the 'monkey wine', after the monkey king and the monkey grandson have been brewed during this time, several tanks have been saved, and when they return to China, they should find a reason to take some out and let everyone taste it.
It turned out that Liu Mang also thought about making a fortune from the ingredients produced in the space. Now it seems that there is no need for this, so it is better to save it for those close to you to taste.
At this time, Xiao Chengcheng's mobile phone made a soft sound, she glanced at Liu Mang, and saw that he didn't pay attention to herself, so she opened the phone and looked through the information on it.
"The operation failed and no recipes were found in the room. ”
"Don't leave a trace, re-plan!" Xiao Chengcheng quickly typed a few words, then put the phone in his pocket and raised the wine glass on the table.
"Liu Mang, I toast you. Thank you for helping me last time. ”
