434. Do you really want to eat it yourself?
Thank you Brother B and C for your 10,000 yuan reward!
——————————
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with round-rimmed glasses is standing at the entrance of the market, his eyes looking left and right.
When he saw Watanabe Murafu and Shuhei, he immediately had a smile on his face and walked over to them.
When he came to him, the man with glasses stopped, and said respectfully to Watanabe Villager: "Good morning, Mr. Watanabe, I didn't expect you to come so soon, please come in!"
"Oh, it's Mr. Suzuki, good morning!" Watanabe Murato said hello with a smile as he looked at Suzuki Kawakei with a smile on his face.
Subsequently, Watanabe Murafu introduced him to Zhou Ping next to him.
"Mr. Suzuki, this is Mr. Zhou Pingzhou from Huaxia, an amazing gourmand and my good friend!"
After listening to this introduction, Suzuki Chuanjing glanced at Zhou Ping deeply, and a faint hint of different color flashed in his eyes, and then he put away this look very well.
He nodded to Zhou Ping, and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, it's really a good luck! My name is Suzuki Kawakei, and I am the person in charge of the Tsukiji Market auction, please take care of me." ”
Zhou Ping also met this man with glasses in the last time loop, and his senses were generally not bad, so he stretched out his hand and shook Suzuki Kawakei, and said with the same smile: "Hello, Mr. Suzuki! ”
After a brief greeting, Watanabe Murato said, "Well, Mr. Suzuki, it's not too early, let's go in and talk about it!"
Seeing Watanabe Murafu's slightly eager expression, Suzuki Kawakei seemed to be surprised, and said with a smile: "Yo Xi, Mr. Watanabe is worthy of being our top chef in Japan, or is he the same as before, he will be extra attentive every time he encounters good ingredients, so please come with me!"
"Okay, Zhou Jun, please!" Although Watanabe Murafu was anxious, he still paid great attention to basic etiquette, and turned his head to Zhou Ping and raised his hand and said politely.
"Mr. Watanabe, let's go together. Zhou Ping smiled slightly and said calmly.
And Suzuki Chuanjing, who had just turned around, was not at peace at this time.
He knew that Watanabe Villager, who had reached this position with his own strength, was a very proud person, and he would not be easy to be kind to people at all.
It is really unimaginable that he can treat a young man from China so politely, not with his own eyes.
Suzuki Kawakei couldn't help but be curious about Zhou Ping's identity.
Following Suzuki Kawakei, Shuhei and Watanabe Murao entered the market through a small door.
After bringing Zhou Ping and Watanabe Murafu inside, Suzuki Kawakei bowed to them and said, "Mr. Watanabe, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I still need to go outside to receive guests, and I'm temporarily out of company!"
"It's okay, Mr. Suzuki, go get busy!" said Watanabe Murafu, unconcerned.
"Hail! I wish you all the best of luck in the auction!"
With that, Suzuki bowed slightly to them again, then turned to leave.
Just before he left, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ping again.
He seemed to want to know what kind of ability and confidence Zhou Ping had to be able to make Watanabe Murafu treat him so politely.
After Suzuki Kawakei left, Shuhei and Watanabe Murafu walked around the market, and at this moment restaurants and shops selling various seafood were opened.
Colorful prawns, fresh and tender fish fillets, fat and thick brown crabs, and huge and soft squid are all kinds of colors, and people are dazzled to see......
When he walked to the market, Zhou Ping saw a familiar face.
This is a tall young man in his 20s, with a round head and a round waist, and a fat body.
Although he has a seemingly gentle smile on his face, his eyes are full of arrogance that cannot be concealed.
When he saw this young man, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ping's mouth.
It turned out to be this living treasure, and sure enough, I met it again.
Of course Zhou Ping knows this kid, and in the last time loop, he bid for the best bluefin tuna with the rich second generation Yoshida Kojiro.
Speaking of which, the identity of this fat man is not simple, he is actually the eldest young master of the Tokyo Juren sushi chain, and he is also a lone seedling.
It can be described as a proper second generation of rich people in the food industry, and it is a collection of tens of millions of pets.
His greatest hobby is to eat all kinds of food.
Remembering that in the last cycle, after he finally got the tuna, the greedy Yoshida Kojiro was not only willing to spend money in order to eat a top-quality bluefin tuna, but also called him big brother in a low voice, Zhou Ping couldn't help but want to laugh.
To some extent, this typical foodie has the same secondary attributes as the guy from Tetsuo Nishiguchi, and it seems to be more persistent.
Just when Zhou Ping looked at Kojiro Yoshida, his gaze happened to sweep over.
Zhou Ping smiled at the cheap little brother who was not long after.
Since getting the golden finger, Zhou Ping has been constantly in contact with all kinds of characters, broadening his horizons and learning various skills, and naturally has a unique self-confidence and temperament.
Seeing Shuhei's smile, Yoshida Kojiro also nodded politely in response, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
Looking at Zhou Ping's age similar to himself, but the special temperament and extraordinary self-confidence on his body are difficult for his peers to have, which can't help but make him a little curious.
At this moment, Yoshida Kojiro saw Watanabe Murafu, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over to Shuhei with a smile on his face.
When he walked in front of him, Yoshida Kojiro's already small eyes were almost narrowed into slits because of the smile on his fat face, and he was extremely happy.
"Haha, Mr. Watanabe, I was thinking about going to your shop to taste delicious food in the past few days, but I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
At this time, Watanabe Murafu also recognized Yoshida Kojiro, patted his arm and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Yoshida-kun, what a coincidence, if you want to eat, you can go to me at any time if you want." By the way, you're here for that today, right?"
Watanabe asked with a sharp look, but he didn't reveal what it was.
In the last time loop, Zhou Ping already knew that the two of them knew each other.
After all, we are all in the same group, and we are all at the top of the food scene in Tokyo and the whole of Japan, so it makes sense that we are familiar with each other.
What's more, Kojiro Yoshida is a foodie who goes wherever there is food, and even if he doesn't have a companion status, it doesn't prevent him from getting acquainted with Watanabe Murafu.
"That's right, I guess Mr. Watanabe is here for that. Of course, Yoshida Kojiro understood what Watanabe Murao was referring to, met his gaze, and said bluntly.
Just as the two of them were playing dumb riddles, not mentioning bluefin tuna, the radio in the center of the market suddenly went off.
It turned out that the person in charge of the auction beckoned the bidders to enter the auction room.
Subsequently, the broadcast gave you a brief explanation of the necessary process and rules of the auction.
Zhou Ping saw that the two were still silently exchanging eyes, and couldn't help reminding: "Okay, two, the auction is about to start, let's go in first if there is any problem!"
Saying that, Zhou Ping ignored the two of them anymore and walked straight in the direction of the entrance of the auction hall.
Watanabe Murao and Yoshida Kojiro retracted their gazes at the same time, both with a look of ambition, and followed Shuhei to the auction house.
Except on holidays, Tsukiji Market holds a variety of seafood auctions almost every day, and most customers are usually familiar with the process and rules of the auction.
However, before the start of each auction, the market side will always take the trouble to introduce the various rules again, so as to avoid some people not understanding the rules and making mistakes, causing unpleasantness.
Zhou Ping walked while listening to the radio on the rules and procedures of the auction house, but he missed these explanations last time.
But fortunately, with Watanabe Villager by his side, Zhou Ping will not do anything to make jokes.
In fact, no matter what type of auction, it is basically the same.
The rules of the seafood auction here are pretty much the same as those he had to follow when auctioning antiques in Las Vegas.
For example, when a lot is taken out, the host will briefly introduce the characteristics of the lot, and even make horizontal and vertical analogies to highlight its value, and then logically announce the starting price.
Everyone has an auction card in their hand, and they can set a fixed price increase or directly shout the price.
Whenever someone calls out a higher price, the host will shout how many dollars once, how many dollars twice, and how many dollars three times.
Here, instead of using the sound of the hammer to determine the auction price, the bell is chosen, so when the bell rings, even if the highest bidder is available, it will not be auctioned.
Because the deal has already been successful, don't think about it unless you can successfully convince the other party to give up.
Shuhei, Watanabe Murao and Yoshida Kojiro, as merchants participating in the procurement, naturally did not need to wait in line like visitors, and directly entered the auction venue converted from cold storage.
At this moment, it was already full of people, but it was not noisy, and countless connoisseurs and culinary gods were holding flashlights, carefully observing the frost-covered, fat tuna, judging their origin and freshness with rich experience.
Zhou Ping looked at the familiar people around him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The rhythm is very right, and there is no mistake.
Looking at the solemn expressions of the buyers around them from time to time taking out paper and notebooks to write and scratch, you can also see how much importance the Japanese attach to bluefin tuna.
That's why when Zhou Tai said in the car that he was determined to get this bluefin tuna, Watanabe Murafu had such an expression.
It's really because the competitors that Zhou Ping has to face are all full of confidence, and they will never give up easily.
As the bell rang, a small island with a gray hat and high-top galoshes stood on a rusty stool to kick off the auction of oversized bluefin tuna at the Tsukiji Fish Market.
Of course, there were nearly 100 plump bluefin tuna on the field, and the largest one was numbered 69, so it wasn't the turn at first.
Completely different from the long pace of antique auctions, the auction pace here appears to be very fast.
The auctioneer holding a notebook and waving his arms constantly, standing around the buyers full of expectant eyes, the rhythmic shouts and quotations come and go, just like a folk concert.
Even a layman who doesn't understand a word of Japanese can be thrilled by the warm atmosphere of the scene.
Of course, as Zhou Ping, who can understand Japanese, naturally knows that their shouting represents the constant shouting, then pricing, and closing the deal with the ringing.
Today, Watanabe Murafu just wanted to bring Zhou Ping to open his eyes, so he was not ready to buy tuna, as for Kojiro Yoshida next to him, he had already bought two dozens of kilograms of bluefin tuna.
At the same time, the little fat man's eyes were always on No. 69, of course Zhou Ping knew that this product came today to win this superb bluefin tuna.
But your luck is really unlucky, my brother still wants to eat this fish today, and it is still inevitable.
"Guys, the next auction is this auction, uh, maybe the largest bluefin tuna in the Tsukiji market this year, weighing 269 kilograms!
As the words of the proud island fell, five or six people in the field raised their hands and chose to bid.
No matter how precious the ingredients are, as long as they are delicious, no one will buy them!
Zhou Ping didn't rush to raise his hand, and after shouting more than a dozen rounds on the field, Yoshida Kojiro had already shouted 180 million, then he raised his hand and said lightly: "200 million!"
"Ahh
"Eat, what else can you do?" replied Zhou Ping as a matter of course.
"Well, this fish weighs a full 269 kilograms, and if you can't eat it as soon as possible, it will greatly affect the taste if you store it for a long time!" said Watanabe Villager.
The implication is very simple, even if you want to eat, go directly to the restaurant to eat, there is no need to buy such a large one!
But how did he know Zhou Ping's terrifying appetite, if he let go of his belly, like this kind of fish that is extremely easy to digest, he would have no suspense to eat dozens of kilograms, and he would only choose the fattest belly to eat.
The so-called big belly, also called big belly, is the fattest meat on the body of tuna, because of its pink color, it is called "big belly", and is divided into two types: "frost" and "snake belly".
In addition, there are two pieces of cheek meat that are even more precious and precious, and generally Japanese restaurant owners will not sell them, but will only entertain the most distinguished VIPs, so Zhou Ping wants to eat, so naturally he still buys a piece of meat to enjoy himself!
With Zhou Ping's 200 million offer, the field suddenly seemed a little quiet, and Yoshida Kojiro was stunned, and did not continue to increase the price like last time.
Is 200 million yen expensive, it is almost 2 million US dollars, for example, the price was cheaper by 100,000 yuan last time, for ordinary people, it is money that cannot be earned in a lifetime, or even a few lifetimes, but for Zhou Ping, he doesn't care at all.
Kojima, who is an auctioneer, is obviously not as deep as those guys in Los Angeles, and after simply shouting three times, he shook the bell.
"Congratulations, sir, this superb bluefin tuna belongs to you!" Kojima also looked quite excited.
"Hehe, it seems that I can have a good meal at noon today, please help me send it to the restaurant in Watanabe!" Zhou Pingyun said lightly.
"Nari, send me to the store?" Watanabe Murato, who was about to call his old friend, was stunned!
Do you really want to eat it yourself?
