Episode 261 Conflict of Ideas
Episode 260 Encounter Again (The order of the chapters has been adjusted)
In the early morning of the next day, after Mu Jiuzhiyuan's dishes were approved by both herself and Zheng Ke, she handed over the soup stock and the ingredients to be used in the competition.
After staying up all night, both of them were a little tired, Zheng Ke returned to the bedroom after separating from Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo, and had no energy to think about other things, so he fell asleep after lying down.
Today, I used the full version of the cooking notes for the first time, and I have to say that this note is really too draining, and he has only used it eight or nine times, but it makes him miserable.
Zheng Ke also knows that the reason why he is so tired has a lot to do with the continuous competition. This also made him sweat for Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo, hoping that her physical strength would be fine.
After waking up, Zheng Ke was close to 5 o'clock, and at this time, the bus to the venue had already left, and if he wanted to go to the swimming pool, he could only take a taxi or take the subway. Before that, you still have to lick your belly first.
After all, the game didn't end until nine o'clock, so Zheng Ke was not too anxious.
After taking a shower and changing into civilian clothes, Zheng Ke hurriedly entered the elevator. The elevator stopped on the 17th floor, the elevator doors opened, and Park Shin-yong walked in with his suitcase.
The two men looked at each other and remained silent. However, Zheng Ke could still see the depression and dissatisfaction with Zheng Ke from his gloomy face.
Zheng Ke didn't care, because only when a person was jealous of others would he show such a look. And Park Shin-yong is this unlucky guy.
Park Shenyong came to the front desk to check out the formalities, while Zheng Ke came to the restaurant, and just picked up the menu to order, when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.
Zheng Ke turned his head in confusion and was surprised to find that the person who called him was Ruishan Zhitsuya.
"Why are you here?" Zheng Ke said in surprise.
"Find a friend. Ruishan Zhizu also pulled out a chair and sat opposite Zheng Ke, then crossed his hands and put them on the table, with a sly smile on his face.
With Zheng Ke's understanding of Ruishan, once he showed this smile, it meant that he must be ready to calculate others.
"You said friend, it can't be me, right?"
Of course, Zheng Ke would not be narcissistic to think that Ruishan Zhizu would also run from Yuanyue School Park or Kanagawa to Tianfang Beiyuan for him, but apart from Zheng Ke, Ruishan Zhizu didn't know anyone else...... Oh, and by the way, there's Kikuchi Garden.
However, Zheng Ke would rather believe that Ruishan was looking for him. Because, Kikuchi Yuanguo and Ruishan do not have much intersection.
"Of course not, we are partners with more ingredients. Ruishan nodded.
Zheng Ke nodded again and again, and he expressed 10,000 approvals for Ruishan's statement.
"So...... Are you looking for Senior Sister Mu Jiuzhi? She's competing now?" Zheng Ke said with a smile.
"No, actually, it has something to do with you. However, the person looking for you is not me, but my friend. Eiza also pushed the middle frame of his glasses and licked his lips.
"Looking for me, your friend knows me?" asked Zheng Ke curiously.
"Of course, after all, you won the Asian championship. Ezuyama also laughed twice.
Zheng Ke was not as relaxed as Ruishan, he buttoned the tablecloth, and the doubts in his heart were even heavier.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. You've seen this guy, right in the café. He wants to see you, come with me. Ezuyama also knocked on the table and stood up.
Zheng Ke looked puzzled, thinking in his mind who the person he had 'seen' might be.
"Alright, hurry up. Ruishan Zhizu also waved at Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke thought about it for a while, and decided to meet this so-called 'one-sided relationship'.
Ruishan Zhizu also led Zheng Ke to a single room in the café next door and made a gesture to invite in.
Zheng Ke didn't know why, so he pushed open the private room, but saw a person looking at him with a smile.
"Long time no see, Xiao Zheng. The person opposite narrowed his eyes and greeted Zheng Ke. It's only autumn now, and the weather is slightly cooler, far from the time of the cotton coat, but the other party is wearing black leather gloves and the black coat on his body, which is very compatible.
"Well, hello, Mr. Nakamura, long time no see. ”
If he hadn't suddenly seen this man in black, Zheng Ke would probably have erased him from his memory.
"It's true that I haven't seen each other in a while. Nakamura's eyes narrowed, "You won yesterday's game, it was wonderful. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. I didn't do enough. Zheng Ke smiled.
"Sit, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Now that we've met here, let's have a good chat. Nakamura handed the menu to Zheng Ke.
"That...... I'll wait a minute. My senior sister still has a competition, so I'm going to the swimming pool right away. So, I don't have much time to ......," Zheng Ke pushed the menu in front of Nakamura again.
Nakamura's face tightened, and he immediately narrowed his eyes again.
Although the time was very short, Zheng Ke was sure that Nakamura was indeed a little unhappy just now.
Zheng Ke suddenly felt a little depressed, and the air seemed to be frozen.
"What we're going to talk about next has something to do with that make-up game. Nakamura picked up his cup and took a sip of his coffee.
"Ahh
"That's right. Nakamura nodded, the smile on his face suddenly darkened, "What I'm going to discuss is really related to 'real cuisine' – more precisely, I want to build Japan into a real food empire." All the garbage-like food had to be swept into a dark corner. ”
"What does this have to do with the rematch?" Zheng Ke scratched his head, quite puzzled.
"If you can understand what I've said before, you can naturally think about the relationship between the two. Nakamura crossed his fingers and pressed his chin to it.
Zheng Ke's face became calm, thinking about what Nakamura had said before.
"I remember, you seem to have said that in order to ensure that all dishes can become cuisine, the dishes will be strictly controlled, and then, the chef who can make excellent dishes will be cultivated......" Zheng Ke touched his chin, recalling the scene when the two first met.
"That's right, that's it. Nakamura chuckled.
"But I still didn't hear anything to do with the two. Zheng Ke shook his head.
"What do you think of this plan?" Nakamura didn't answer Zheng Ke's question, but continued to ask.
"Ah...... Do you want to tell the truth?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.
"Of course. Nakamura looked at Zheng Ke with sharp eyes.
"I appreciate the plan, but I think it's a terrible plan. Zheng Ke nodded, looked at Nakamura with a cold face, and said what was in his heart without fear.
"First of all, you said that you want to ensure the quality of the food. I want to ask, where can I find so many high-quality recipes?" Zheng Ke asked the first question.
"I thought it was a problem? That's why I'm looking for you. Nakamura leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his coffee gently, "You also know that there are a group of talented people in any profession. And these gifted people, standing at the forefront of this profession, lead most of the mediocrity. ”
"I think it's good for this group of people to be able to make dishes like works of art, such as your clam smoked cod, while the other part of the people just need to follow behind these people and step on their footprints to get everything they want, such as money, status, honor, and so on. There are too many people in this category, so you don't need me to give an example, right?"
Zheng Ke nodded, he didn't think he was the 'elite' in Nakamura's mouth, but Nakamura's statement was basically right, every industry has a group of people who stand at the top, as well as a large number of followers.
"So, all you need is these talented people to make great dishes – as for the others, what they have to do is just imitate. Nakamura's eyes narrowed.
"OK. Your explanation can be regarded as solving my first doubt. Zheng Ke rubbed his hands and smiled.
"You've got a lot of questions. Nakamura said.
"No way, you probably don't know, there is a particularly famous book in Huaxia called "One Hundred Thousand Whys". Okay, Mr. Nakamura, my second question--" Zheng Ke cleared his throat, "where do you find so many chefs? If I'm not mistaken, you're going to have a group of what you call 'elites' to teach other chefs real dishes, and then let these chefs replace the existing chefs in Japan." But with so many chefs, where are you going to find them? If you want to meet your requirements, ordinary chefs can't do it, right?"
