CHAPTER XXXII
When I came out of Disney, it was late, my stomach was hungry, and I was so tired that I didn't want to move. The cold-faced god had already called the car and was waiting for us outside, so we didn't have to squeeze the subway on the way back, and we didn't have the strength to squeeze it.
"I'm hungry!" The cold-faced god asked me.
I nodded, and when I came out, I wanted to buy a hamburger, but the cold noodle god didn't allow it, saying that the main meal must be delicious and can't be dealt with casually, especially those of us who are engaged in food, should pay more attention than others. So, I could only go hungry and let him pull me to find food.
Tokyo must be very congested at this time, and everyone should come back from the cherry blossom festival site, and it is inevitable that they will have to go for a drink again. However, the car didn't enter Tokyo, and turned into another lane, not knowing where the cold face god was going to take me. But I know that with him, there must be something good to eat.
The car stopped in a place similar to a homestay, and the seemingly small parking lot was already full, and a piece of the inconspicuous name "Chuanjiang House" hung on the gate of the homestay.
The cold-faced god led me in, someone had already come to greet me, it seemed that the cold-faced god had already set the position, I was curious, he almost never left my sight, when did he set the position?
A waitress led us into a Japanese-style room, which was not large, but it was elegantly decorated, which contrasted sharply with the appearance of the entire homestay. I was curious to look here and there in the room, and experience the intention of the owner's arrangement.
Here, you don't have to order food, as long as you specify how many people there are, the chef will naturally help you with the dishes, and what to eat depends on the season, which is a famous "kaiseki cuisine" in Japan.
"I'm going to test you, what are the categories of Japanese food?" The cold-faced god sat down face to face with me, as if he had returned to the interview, his expression was serious but not stern, and I calmed down and answered his questions carefully.
"There are three types of traditional Japanese cuisine: honzen, kaiseki, and kaiseki." I sat up straight in front of him, and then replied seriously, "Honzen cuisine is a traditional and formal Japanese cuisine, a product of the Japanese legal system, and most of them are only used in more formal occasions, such as weddings, funerals, celebrations, coming-of-age ceremonies, and banquets for festivals, and the dishes range from five dishes and two soups to seven dishes and three soups. Originally a dish that was accompanied by a tea ceremony to bring out the deliciousness of tea, it is now synonymous with Japanese haute cuisine. Kaiseki cuisine is not as rigorous as this cuisine, and the way of eating is relatively free, and it is a more relaxed and enjoyable banquet dish in addition to deliciousness. ”
Satisfied with my answer, the cold-faced god nodded, and asked again, "Then do you know what the food in your arms comes from?" ”
"The word kaiseki is derived from the Japanese Buddhist legend of 'warm stone', the legend is that the Zen monks in the practice must follow the precepts, can only eat breakfast and lunch, can not eat dinner, but the young monks can't bear the hunger and cold, wrapped the heated stone in a rag and carried it in their arms, called 'warm stone', and later developed to eat a little less to play the role of 'warm stone'." I still remember very well what I talked about in class during the special training.
"In the past, when a guest visited, the host would take out the treasured tea set to make tea, but because drinking tea on an empty stomach was uncomfortable for people's appetite, in order to achieve a pleasant tea drink, it was necessary to eat some simple dishes before drinking tea and fill your stomach properly, which was the original kaiseki cuisine."
"Well, that's good, it looks like you've done your homework." The seriousness on the face of the cold-faced god was relaxed.
With a "disturb", the sliding door was opened, and the waiter brought us food, kaiseki cuisine is usually three dishes and one soup, but there are also times when there is a lot of variety, and kaiseki cuisine is very seasonal, and the food combination is different for each season. For example, there are sashimi, miso soup, and rice, followed by boiled vegetables, grilled dishes, and a side dish called "storage bowl", and you can drink another glass of sake after eating.
However, for my hunger level, the amount of food was too small, and I was not full after eating a serving. However, kaiseki cuisine is very expensive, and when I was wondering if I should have another one, the waiter came in again and brought two completely different servings, and by the way, he also brought us a bottle of sake, which was actually my "not drunk".
"Huh? This one? ......" I pointed to the "not drunk" on the table and looked at the cold face in surprise.
The cold face god smiled slightly, "The owner of this shop asked Nantian's family, and I only sold him a hundred bottles." He paused, "It's really good not to get drunk, and now the market is quite good, I really didn't expect you to make wine." ”
"When I was younger, I didn't have many friends, my parents went to work, and they didn't have time to take care of me." I remembered an incident, so I said, "When I was very young, I went to my father's winery to play after school, I liked to be my father's little tail, and I followed him wherever he went, and after a long time in the winery, I learned a lot of things with him." Later, my father saw that I was also more thorough in this aspect, so he asked me to go to the winery during the holidays to study with the technicians, do the apprenticeship, and later work as a wine taster. He had always hoped that I would inherit his winery, but I didn't. ”
"Why?" The cold-faced god asked.
"Maybe you can feel that I am a little too mature in my heart compared to my peers," I poured myself a glass of wine, "When I was a child, I grew up in my grandmother's house, because I was very smart when I was a child, and I was forced to learn a lot of things I didn't like, and I always looked forward to growing up soon, so that I could make my own decisions and no longer need to listen to adults." ”
"I never knew what I liked?" I smiled wryly, "At first, I was interested in sake brewing, but when I felt like I was being persecuted, I didn't like it. I'm the kind of person who is very spontaneous, and I will only do what I like. ”
"In my opinion, you're pretty good compared to people your age." The cold-faced god drank the wine in front of him and added another glass to the two of us.
I looked at the cold-faced god, in fact, I wanted to say a lot of things, but sometimes, I couldn't say some words, "Actually, I also know that my success is all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way like this." The plan for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is like this, the plan for chocolate is like this, and the same is true for the exchange meeting, maybe I have done a lot of things beyond my ability with your concern. I'm not stupid, I can feel it. When I can't sleep in bed these days, I also think that what I have experienced in the past six months may be an opportunity that others will not be able to encounter in a few years, or even decades. This kind of opportunity will not find me for nothing, it's not that I don't believe in my own ability, but because of you, I will feel that it will be unfair to others. No one else will agree with me. ”
After saying a lot, the cold-faced god didn't squeak, just looked at me quietly, and when I finished speaking, he spoke, "Then what do you mean?" ”
I thought about it for a few seconds, "When I go back to Shanghai, please let me start from the bottom like other colleagues, or when I'm a new employee, and I want to be trained." Let my achievements be recognized by everyone, and only in this way can I be convinced by everyone when you need me to do more important things in the future. ”
"I'm wondering now, if you're really only twenty-three years old," the cold face smiled helplessly, "You look pure on the outside, but you are delicate and mature on the inside, a woman like you can really marry home directly as a wife." ”
I laughed too, his joke was not funny at all, "Actually, I know myself, what is delicate and mature?" It's just that you pay more attention to details than others, as for girls who are not like twenty-three, no one prescribes, what must and cannot be done at the age of twenty-three? Compared to many geniuses who graduated from college in their teens, I was just an ordinary person. Don't you know that famous brands and not pursuing fashion are aunt-level characters? Everyone chooses a different way of life, maybe for me, I prefer to live the life I have now, it's warm. ”
The cold face nodded, "Actually, I'm really happy that you can think like this, maybe I've made a little haste in what I did, but I didn't expect you to treat it so peacefully." Just do as you say, I really hope that you can grow up as soon as possible. ”
"Ah, hurry up and eat, I've been drooling over the food for a long time." When I said what I thought in my heart, I felt that my whole body was relaxed, and I was only half-full just now, and there will not be many opportunities to eat such expensive kaiseki cuisine in the future.
Back in Tokyo, the night was already very late, standing in front of the hotel window, seeing the brightly lit scenery outside the window, my heart was a little indifferent, in fact, there was something else today, I wanted to say, but I didn't say it. Originally, I called the cold-faced god out today, I wanted to show my attitude to him, I didn't want to go down in a warm and ambiguous way, we were originally people from two worlds, but the feeling of being with him was so good, I was very selfishly enjoying his care, I couldn't say such a thing.
It's really been a long time since I've felt like this, when Zhao Feng is together, he is always very macho, he has the final say in everything, I don't have to worry about anything. Gao Xiang, I am really uncomfortable when I see him and Jiang Xia today, although he has never belonged to me, but seeing his tenderness to others, I am still jealous. Fortunately, there is a cold face god, which makes me feel at ease all the time.
Like I asked Yaeyo, why can you be in one place for ten years, waiting for someone who may not come back for the rest of your life? I was very moved by Yaeyo's answer, she said, "I don't know if he will come back, and I didn't expect him to come back, but people always have to have a little hope, even if they pretend to deceive themselves, they must give themselves a little hope, so that life can go on day by day." My love has not much to do with whether he loves me or not, in a woman's heart, there will always be such a place for a person, no matter where that person is, who is around, the one in your own psychology is always your own, no one can snatch it away, no one can erase it. ”
Sometimes, a person has been in your psyche for a long time, and it cannot be erased no matter what, he has grown into the bone marrow and penetrated deep into your blood. But he never belonged to you.
