Chapter 337: Not doing business
In the cold wind, the group walked into a Japanese-style restaurant in Beverly Hills, and under the guidance of a courteous waiter, they came to sit down at a specially made spacious teppanyaki table. This restaurant is the best Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles, usually only for those Hollywood stars, celebrities, in order to let the tired teachers have a quiet Japanese food, Li Jiaming specially chartered this restaurant.
The attentive Li Jiaming helped the division commanders put away their coats and carried the elated Xinxin onto the chairs, while Nakamura, who accompanied them, whispered a few words to the waiters. After a while, several well-dressed Japanese chefs came to the iron plate in front of everyone to prepare.
The master who mixed the smell of fish in English opened the oven to preheat, used a special iron plate shovel, put the snow-white wet towel on the iron plate, wiped it up and down a few times, and wiped the iron plate smooth and bright like a mirror in the hot steam, and then took the towel away, and after the water was completely steamed, put on the butter and slowly melted.
The attentive chef sprinkled the thinly crispy garlic slices fried in advance and stir-fried until fragrant, then added shiitake mushrooms, eggplant segments, green vegetables, etc. to fry them, shoveled them one by one, and put the side dishes into the delicate porcelain plate in front of the guests with a brisk and steady movement. Then he pushed the scum off the plate with a few strokes, put in the new butter, and a few assistants next to him came with a few plates of beautiful and dazzling beef.
A beautiful whole piece of pink tenderloin, with pure white snowflake-like fat distributed in between, like a fine marble. Master Hu and Teacher Wang, who came to see them, were very curious and attracted by this sense of ceremony, but Xinxin's eyes were full of heat.
After the solemn-looking chefs finished sprinkling salt and pepper, the almost perfect piece of beef was solemnly put on the iron plate. The moment the meat touches the iron plate, the fat of the snowflakes, which is said to melt at 25 degrees Celsius, dances with the hot oil. With a louder and louder crackling sound, tiny oil flowers jump in the air, spreading a mesmerizing lipid aroma.
At this time, a smooth two-tooth teppanyaki fork gently pressed the beef, and the sharp knife cut it like cutting through a piece of tender tofu, and the meat chop was split in two without any resistance. The pieces of meat trembled lightly and flipped to the sides, revealing a tender and juicy inside. The chef raised the knife and fell, and the meat chop was cut into four-centimeter-square pieces of meat in a brisk rhythm, like a musical note coming out of the sky, and when it was flipped and fried, it seemed to make a slight bounce on the iron plate.
"γ©γγζγιΎγγγγγΎγ"
Two-year-old Xinxin actually said a sentence of Japanese that she learned somewhere, and then couldn't wait to pick up chopsticks and feast on it, eliciting a toothy smile from the master opposite her.
This meat is still raw, and it can be eaten?
Seeing that Xinxin was eating so happily, the teachers who never ate raw meat also picked up chopsticks, but it was a pity for Li Jiaming's courtesy. Taste is a habit for decades, although Kobe beef is world-famous, but in the mouths of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang, the taste is quite acceptable, and the meat is tender, but it is not fried, too raw, and it will taste better if it is stir-fried with chili peppers.
"Hillbilly!"
Hu Shigong, who had been the director of the Education Bureau and the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made fun of it, beckoned to his apprentice Sun Li Jiaming, and said curiously: "Jiaming, how much does this meal cost?"
"Huh"
"What are you laughing at? I'm asking you what you're doing!"
Shigong is a retired old man who can have anything serious, but when he asked this, Li Jiaming didn't want to answer, so he had to give a 1% discount and whispered: "About 15o per person, this restaurant is the best in Los Angeles, and it uses Japanese Kobe beef." β
12oo dollars, that's not too expensive, but it's also too wasteful. Master Hu, who has seen the world, is a little afraid of this apprentice, it is true that he can make money, but he is also too able to spend money, and he does not treat money as money.
"Let me tell you, we don't care about these things, as long as you have a good life and a good life, we are happy, you know?"
"Master, have you heard that joke?"
Li Jiaming, who was laughing with him, remembered the joke about Bill a few years ago: if Bill dropped $1ooo, he wouldn't bother to pick it up, because it took him four seconds to pick it up, and he had earned back $1ooo dollars by bending over. When it's my turn, that 1ooo has become at least 2ooo, what is this money?
"Then we can't use money like this! One meal of our meal is worth a few months' living expenses for students!"
"Yes, yes, yes", Li Jiaming, who knew that he was speechless, even claimed yes, satisfying Mr. Wang, who reprimanded him. To say that my luck is really good, I can meet teachers like Master Hu and Teacher Wang, and I will not change at all because I have become rich, and I only regard myself as a student as I did at the beginning.
However, Liu Shasha disagrees with Teacher Wang's opinion, her husband is not showing off by entertaining teachers and teachers in luxury these days, but to let them enjoy the best things in poverty. Jia Ming, who doesn't know that he can stay at the Waldorf Astoria for $5ooo a night, can also stay in a motel for ten dollars, and he doesn't care much about material things at all.
"Uncle Wang, I think, in life, you have to see everything and try it. Master, do you think I'm right?"
The niece's sharp teeth made the founder Teacher Wang speechless, and also made Master Hu, who spoiled her from childhood to adulthood, echo in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, Cheng Lin is a hillbilly! You and Jiaming are big doctors, and the things you do and think about are more advanced than us, how can you use our ideas and concepts to ask you?"
Li Fu, I've eaten and played in the past few days, when will we go back?"
Although the United States is not its hometown after all, the students who came to live here for more than half a month, even Master Hu began to feel homesick. In this case, Li Jiaming did not force him to stay, and the teachers and students went home to prepare a good drink, and then sent the teachers and teachers to take the plane back to China.
Everyone sat in front of the roaring fireplace, eating very spicy dishes, drinking the old four special wine of their hometown, talking and laughing. In fact, this kind of occasion is the favorite of teachers and teachers, unlike visiting around, eating high-end restaurants, and staying in luxury hotels these days.
When the wine was in full swing, the nostalgic Hu Shigong mentioned Secretary Cai, who had a good relationship with him. The old secretary, who has been idle, has really contributed a lot to Tonggu. Not to mention that he forcibly repaired the reservoir to solve the county's electricity problem, just under huge financial pressure, to regularize the county's private teachers, that is not something ordinary people can do.
"It's a pity, the last time I was in Beiping, Lao Cai regretted what happened in Ji Province. He said that if he didn't change his original intention, didn't care about those messy things, and only focused on doing the right thing, it was really possible to change the face of Ji Province. β
Obedient and listening, the half-drunk Li Jiaming smiled dumbly, and entertained everyone these days with himself, in the eyes of his master, he became a bad business?
The teachers really think so, especially Mr. Wang and Mr. Hu, who have seen how busy the leaders are. Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about Li Jiaming's father-in-law Liu Benqiu, when they went to Xunyang to play, Secretary Liu didn't even have time to accompany them to visit, and he went out early and returned late like a spinning top.
"Do you think you're not in the school, but you can also talk about holidays and companies?"
"Teacher Wang, this is different", Li Jiaming, who was half drunk, filled the teacher with wine and argued: "Secretary Liu can't help it, if he doesn't lead by example, his subordinates will deal with him." I want to go down, if I am tired like a dog every day, what will my subordinates do? Also like Secretary Liu's subordinates, **** followed me behind my ass with a broken notebook, and wrote down everything I said? Master, you have been an official, and your boss is really more qualified than your subordinates?
I think that the people in charge should be idle, and let their subordinates have enough room to wield. Hehe, no matter how powerful and useless a person is, no matter how busy you are, how many nails can you hit with iron?"
