Chapter Seventy-Six: The Hilt of the Sword is the Authority
However, this suggestion that made Duanmu Ci's heart was finally vague by him, after all, he was relatively lowly in the delegation, and he couldn't do anything like this, so he had to ask the opinion of Yan Zhigui, the professor who led the team.
Then they left the University of Tokyo.
After taking two steps, Duanmu Ci suddenly said, "It's a pity." β
"What a pity?" Wei Yue asked.
"It's a pity that I didn't eat in their cafeteria."
Wei Yue was speechless, "I'll treat you to a good meal, how is Azabushi Village?" I used to be a patron of Tokyo when I was there! I heard that the chef of Azabu Yukimura is Jun Koku, who has been practicing cooking in Kyoto for 25 years, and is very good at making crabs, and every day there are crab gourmets from all over the world who come to taste it, so you will definitely enjoy it. β
"Azabushi Village?" Duanmu Ci asked, "How often do you go?" β
"Of course, I love the food."
"But how do you get there?" Duanmu Ci said, "Due to time reasons, I just simply painted makeup on you, and it's okay to act normally, but in case you sweat and wipe your sweat while eating, it's easy to automatically remove makeup!" Is it really okay? β
"So Duanmu-kun means"
"Go back to the hotel to remove your makeup first, then find a delicious local restaurant!"
"What a great idea!"

Noma in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the most difficult restaurants in the world to book, and there were once American media reports that a female executive from San Francisco, USA, went to great lengths to book a table at Noma restaurant to celebrate her 39th birthday, but she was single and had no male partner. So she posted an announcement on the Internet that she wanted to recruit a single man to go to dinner, and so far, hundreds of men have applied.
Although they are not just for eating
Generally speaking, if someone wants to have dinner at the table at Noma, they must book it at least a month in advance, and they may not be able to make a reservation.
However, Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue do not have this problem, although Wei Yue does not come here often, but as long as he comes, there will definitely be a seat, not to mention that there is no reservation, and even the situation of making him wait for a seat has not happened. Although Wei Yue's identity should not be exposed now, Duanmu Ci is not impossible, he booked a seat at Noma Restaurant in the name of Gongyi Mo Construction Office, and it only took two minutes.
It was only at this time that Duanmu Ci deeply understood the status of those technical houses who had been crying in front of him in front of him.
Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue occupy the best position in this restaurant, and on the left hand side is a huge rotating turntable with a variety of meals, and waiters and sommeliers stand on the turntable, handing the plates in their hands to each place in the swirling gap.
On the right-hand side is a huge glass that looks like a small toy palace when viewed from 20 floors high, glowing in the dark. The traffic turned into a streamer, and the presence of the car could not be detected at all in this high level of vision, and only the river of light composed of countless car lights could be seen.
It was like a galaxy in the sky hanging upside down and flowing on the ground.
"I didn't expect it to rain when we just arrived, it's really beautiful!" Wei Yue smiled, "I would have looked at the forecast of the Tokyo Metropolitan Meteorological Observatory in advance." β
"Don't worry if this is London, where gentlemen go out with umbrellas." Duanmu Ci paused suddenly, "But that was decades ago. β
"Not necessarily." Wei Yue smiled, "When I was 17 years old, I once went to London with the crown prince to visit the Windsor family, at that time, it happened to be the warm Atlantic current, and it rained heavily for a month, and occasionally on a sunny day, people would go out with umbrellas, and the old people used umbrellas as crutches. β
"At the end of the visit, the British royal family gave me and the crown prince a handmade custom umbrella of Lockwood, which I loved. It's just that the umbrella was made according to my height when I was a minor, and it is no longer usable. As a birthday present, I gave it to Princess Yoshiko. β
"I see that Yuanjun still has feelings for her, otherwise how could he give him his beloved umbrella?" Duanmu smiled.
"Superficial!" Wei Yue sneered, "Does Duanmu-kun think I gave her an umbrella because I like her?" Impossible! I gave her an umbrella because she already had an umbrella to protect her from the wind and rain, so she didn't need me to do it for her. He paused, "But it seems that Yoshiko doesn't seem to understand what I mean." β
Duanmu Ci smiled, "Even people like me who don't understand the trend know the meaning of boys giving girls umbrellas, this is the meaning of being willing to be an umbrella for the person they like, and I have a wish to shelter her from the wind and rain in my heart." How did it completely turn bad in your mouth? Taking things out of context and separating the meaning is not what a gentleman should do. β
Wei Yue just smiled and didn't speak, at this time, the uniformed waiter pushed the dining cart over, held the silver dinner plate on the table, and then lifted the lid of the round dinner plate, revealing the tea-stained rice inside.
Wei Yue said with a smile, "This dish should be made by Chef Okuda Toshi, who was born in the famous Tokushima restaurant Aoyagi, and has a traditional cooking style, and focuses on original flavor and health, the taste is light and simple, and pays attention to the original umami of the ingredients, which is highly recommended!" β
The sommelier also pushed the food cart over and placed a bottle of Burgundy wine on the table.
"The wines at ChΓ’teau Burgundy have a tough flavour, and I actually prefer the Bordeaux wines in that respect, which are a bit softer." Duanmu Ci is a little picky.
"It's a white wine with a strong mineral flavor in it." Wei Yue poured wine, "I like this taste, in fact, there used to be a top champagne Salon 1996 here, but it was later canceled because the owner's son was an alcoholic, and he kept it privately. β
Duanmu Ci raised the goblet and shook it twice, "It's okay to hide it privately, in fact, I prefer to drink tea." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After a hearty dinner, they were in no hurry to leave, partly because it was still raining outside, and partly because they had to enjoy the dessert after the meal. Chef Toru Okuda is not only good at the main meal, but also very particular about the desserts, from the selection of ingredients, to the production and the appearance, it is very surprising.
Duanmuci picked up a piece of tiramisu and put it in his mouth, and the rich flavor of this classic Italian sweet dissolved in his mouth, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Wei Yue didn't eat with Duanmuci, he looked out the window, "Tokyo on a rainy night is different from the daytime, Tokyo is a busy city during the day, there are more than 10 million people living and working here, they are like the gears of a huge machine, biting each other precisely to keep the city running." They shuttle through the city, like shuttling through the labyrinth of power, which is the world of power. β
Duanmuci leaned back in his chair and made a listening gesture.
"Before the Meiji era, it was still called Edo, and it was the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, and for 260 years, it was the real capital of Japan, and the messengers rode horses to carry the shogun's orders in all directions, and the emperor in Kyoto occasionally looked in this direction with awe-inspiring eyes. He is not in awe of the city, but of its master. β
The high shogun wielded his sword and fought in all directions, maintaining the glory of the shogunate and Japan, until later the Westerners opened the gates of Japan with spears and cannons, and the shogun began to step down from the altar, and the princes of the four directions no longer obeyed orders from Edo. Later, after a fierce battle with the Shogunate, the Shogun gave up his sword and surrendered, and Edo became a city without dignity. β
"Later, Emperor Meiji moved the capital to Edo and changed the name of the city to Tokyo, where he commanded the world, and the princes and samurai of the four directions began to revere the castle because its owner held the sword."
Wei Yue looked into Duanmu Ci's eyes, and said word by word, "For men, you can't do without a sword in your hand, you can use a long sword to protect the city, a long sword to guard your heart, and a long sword to protect your surname, in short, you can't give it up!" This world is a battlefield, and now it's raining and it seems to be harmless to humans and animals, making you feel like you can put down your sword and take a good rest. But on the battlefield, anyone who gives up the hilt of his sword is not entitled to live. β
"The hilt of the sword is the authority!"
Duanmu Ci looked at Wei Yue seriously, his expression was unprecedentedly formal, he never thought that Wei Yue, who had always been idle and lazy, would actually say such ambitious words, as if the blood of his ancestors was boiling and burning in his veins! The ancestor of the Minamoto family was Minamoto Yorito, who once established the Kamakura shogunate and started the history of the shogunate system, and regarded the emperor as a puppet. Duanmu Ci looked into Wei Yue's eyes, as if he was looking at the peerless hero from a thousand years ago!
Wei Yue stood up and turned to the huge glass, his eyes fell to the window, Tokyo was still brightly lit in the rainy night, Wei Yue was the power in this city, he looked down on this city, like a king patrolling his own country.
Wei Yue suddenly smiled, the smile rippled to the corner of his eyebrows, the ambitious Wei Yue just now suddenly disappeared, and now he has become a noble son again, and his smile is so beautiful that he seems to be going to participate in a noble lady's date.
"Duanmu-kun, I told you so much about Tokyo during the day, do you want to see Tokyo on a rainy night?" Wei Yue looked out the window, "I'm willing to accompany you." β
Duanmu Ci was silent for a moment, stood up without saying a word, and then turned back.
"Where are you going?" Wei Yue asked behind her back.
"Didn't you say you wanted to accompany me to enjoy Tokyo on a rainy night? I went to the waiter to get an umbrella. β
Duanmuci's voice wafted through the smell of white wine, mixed with the smell of rain outside the window, and it seemed that there was also the smell of power.
