Chapter 231: First Arrival in Dongying
A week later, the plane landed at Kyoto International Airport......
"Boss, it's finally here!" Five-Eyes walked out of the cabin, breathed in the fresh air outside, and stretched out comfortably. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On this trip to Dongying, Liu Mang took Wuyan and Wu Jing with him. Anyway, these two people staying upstairs will only cause trouble, so they simply take them out to increase their knowledge.
Now that the upstairs is on the right track, there are Shan Jian and Zhu Daming in the back kitchen, and Fu Jing in front to help take care of it, Liu Mang can rest assured that he can free his hands.
"Monk, how do you feel about taking a plane for the first time?" Today, Wuyan was wearing a new white suit and a pair of huge toad glasses on his face.
"It's really fast! After squinting for a while, I'll be here after eating!" Wu Jing's face was full of excitement, and she was still immersed in the joy of taking a plane for the first time.
"Liu Mangjun, please come here!" Yamano Hachiro also took the plane back to Dongying with Liu Mang and the others.
"Do you all have to bow before you speak?" Liu Mang asked suddenly.
The first thing that I was not used to when I arrived in Dongying was that people met with a 90-degree bow, which made Liu Mang and others very unaccustomed to it.
"Yes!" Higashino Hachiro bowed again: "This is the habit of our Yamato nation." ”
"Okay, okay. Liu Mang nodded.
Walking out of the airport, a young man with a white turban around his head greeted him with a large card. It is Liu Mang's acquaintance, the son of Ida Huaishu, the god of Dongying Kitchen - Jiro Ida.
"Hello Liu Mangjun, welcome to Dongying!"
Due to the rush of time, Li Ruonan could not find a suitable translator at all. Because this translator is not only not good at speaking Japanese, but also has a certain understanding of the culinary industry. Otherwise, it will not be possible to fully express the true meaning and purpose of some dish names and ingredients.
Fortunately, when Ida Huaishu heard that Liu Mang was coming to Dongying, he took the initiative to ask his son to act as his translator, which solved Liu Mang's urgent need.
In Liu Mang's heart, Ida Huaishu, the old man in Dongying, is worthy of his respect and admiration.
Because he has the temperament of a true craftsman, not like Hachiro Higashino and Futsuo Muraya - full of the cunning and greed of a businessman.
"I've been waiting, Mr. Jiro!" Liu Mang smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.
"It's been hard all the way! Liu Mangjun, my father has been waiting for a long time!"
Jiro Ida speaks Chinese well, and even has a little imperial capital accent.
"Dude, your Chinese is very authentic, have you been to China before?" Five Eyes couldn't help but praise.
"Yes, I graduated from Waseda University, used to be an exchange student in Huaqing, and stayed in the imperial capital for three years. ”
"Well, I didn't expect you to be a top student. Five-eyed laughed dryly, a bit like a primary school student meeting a college student.
"Liu Mangjun, our president has already arranged a place to stay, please play in Dongying for a while, and when we are ready, we can start the exchange conference. Hachiro Higashino said.
"Well, okay, this is not in a hurry, anyway, I came to Dongying with the mentality of playing. Liu Mang replied.
"Please have dinner first, in order to welcome Liu Mangjun's arrival, my father deliberately closed for half a day today. "Boarding the two black Mercedes Benzes that Daya Group came to pick up the airport, Jiro Ida said.
"Yo Xi! It's actually closed! Then Liu Mangjun is really blessed!" Yamano Hachiro looked envious.
"Master Huaishu's cooking house, which has been open for 60 years, has never been closed for one person, even the last time His Excellency the President of the United States arrived, it had to be booked in advance. ”
"What's so embarrassing then? Mr. Jiro, I'm really disturbing. Liu Mang looked apologetic.
Although he only had a brief encounter with Ida Huaishu, he knew this old man's stubbornness very well.
For 60 years, he has been guarding a small eight-seat place and has never expanded, only obsessed with cooking. In terms of character, there must be extremely strict self-discipline.
His arrival actually made this old man make an exception to close for half a day, which made Liu Mang very moved.
"Boss, this is Kyoto, it doesn't feel very good, it's not as prosperous as our imperial capital and the magic capital. Five eyes looked at the scenery of the parking space, and whispered in Liu Mang's ear.
Gome is right, the architecture of Kyoto is not as tall and modern as the imperial capital and the magic capital. Many of the buildings look like they were built in the seventies and eighties, and there are even many low-rise buildings in the cracks of these buildings.
But as far as the eye can see, all the buildings and streets are clean, and not even a single scrap of paper can be seen, which is very comfortable.
"Don't underestimate others, the heritage of a city does not come from high-rise buildings, but from its cultural heritage. Liu Mang pointed to a garbage can on the side of the road: "You see, around their garbage can, there is not a single piece of garbage that has fallen, and passers-by are also very conscious of picking up the leaves blown by the wind and putting them in the garbage can." From this point of view alone, we in China still have many years to learn. ”
"Really?" Goyan listened, looked closely, and was surprised.
"Let's come out this time, don't hold on to narrow nationalism. Of course, we still have to fight, and we are duty-bound to maintain the honor of Chinese cuisine. However, don't blindly belittle the other person, try to learn from the strengths of others. Didn't Sage Confucius say it a long time ago? In the threesome, there must be my teacher, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good. ”
"Boss, I see. After hearing this, Five-Eyes nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, the car drove through the bustling city center and stopped at a building next to a subway station.
"Please get out of the car, Liu Mangjun, our restaurant has arrived!" said Jiro Ida as he pulled the car door for Liu Mang.
"Liu Mangjun, then I'll go back first. This is the key card of the Kyoto Hotel, and the rest of the car and the driver are yours to call, just tell the driver where you want to go. Hachiro Higashino got out of the car and said.
"Well, say hello to Mr. Muraya Fukio for me, and thank him for his hospitality. Liu Mang said with a smile.
Even if you know that Muraya Notako has no good intentions, there is still etiquette that should be there, and this is also a person's demeanor.
"I'll take it with you, thank you!" Hachiro Higashino bowed, and left.
"This way, please!Liu Mangjun!" Jiro Ida beckoned the three of them towards one of the entrances of the building.
"This is Master Huaishu's cooking house?" Coming to the entrance of the building, Liu Mang asked in surprise.
"Yes, my father has been working here for sixty years and has never left. Jiro Ida replied.
Accident, really unexpected. Liu Mang already knew that Ida Huaishu's cooking house was not big, but he didn't expect it to be so small.
This entrance is not the main entrance of the building at all, but rather a fire escape.
The entrance is very simple, except for a small wooden sign on the door frame with the words 'Ida Cuisine' engraved on it.
If you don't look for it, it's hard for anyone to find such a small restaurant. Unexpectedly, behind this small wooden door, there is actually the kitchen god of Dongying.
"This is the so-called small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, and hidden in the court. Liu Mang thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
