Chapter 21 Honzen Cuisine
Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino, under the guidance of Wakadie, came to Hiroma, which is located next to the underground dojo.
Qianye saw the three of them come in, and greeted the three of them: "I'm sorry for disturbing the three young ladies for dinner." So prepare a banquet a little, and look at the three young ladies Haihan. ”
The three of them hurriedly returned the salute: "No, no, Qianye-san is polite." ”
After Qianye beckoned the three of them to sit down, Mai Shiraishi asked with some confusion, "Qianye-san, why did you invite Nanami, Nanasai and me to lunch separately, instead of inviting all the members?" ”
Hearing this question, Qianye looked up at the three of them, and saw that Nanami Hashimoto had some worry in her eyes, so she smiled and said, "I invited the three young ladies to come to the meal, on the one hand, because among all the members of Nogizaka 46, my favorite is the three young ladies. As a meal, I naturally want to be able to have lunch with my favorite members. Hearing Qianye say this, Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino's faces were a little crimson, and the most shy Nanase Nishino lowered his head with a shy expression.
Qianye paused for a moment and said, "Of course, another reason is the talent shown by the three young ladies in Yin-Yang Arts. Inviting the three young ladies to come is also to understand the hearts of the three young ladies again. I wonder if the three young ladies are willing to learn Yin-Yang Technique? ”
Hearing Qianye's question, the three people who had already communicated with the operation looked at each other, and Nanami Hashimoto replied: "Regarding this matter, the operation has already communicated with us, and we are willing to learn yin-yang art with Qianye-san." It's just that there are some doubts about the operation in terms of time, after all, as idols, we have a lot of work to do, and we don't have much time to specialize in learning yin-yangjutsu. ”
Qianye Okihashi Nanami nodded and said, "It's okay, as long as the three young ladies are willing to learn, they don't need special time to teach." After completing the basic knowledge, it is only necessary for the three young ladies to practice more in their spare time. Teaching the three young ladies the Yin and Yang Technique is not to really let the three young ladies become onmyoji, but to see that the hunt is happy, and I don't want the talent of the three young ladies to be wasted. ”
Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino all nodded and were relieved when they heard Chiya say this.
At this time, Ruodie walked in with a row of servants carrying food, and these servants placed the trays with feet containing food in front of the four of them in turn, and then bowed and withdrew.
Ruodie stood aside and said: "Because of the limited time, only two soups and five dishes were prepared, and the hospitality was not good, and the three young ladies Haihan were invited." ”
Nanami Hashimoto looked at the five lacquerware trays with feet in front of him, and the food placed on the trays in turn, he had already recognized that this was a very formal Honzen cuisine, and suddenly felt a little nervous, and when he saw that Ruodie said that the hospitality was not good, he hurriedly said, "No, no, this is already very rich." It's because we're in trouble with Miss Ruodie. ”
Nanase Nishino, who was on the side, obviously recognized the Honzen cuisine in front of him, so he quietly replaced his body that was originally sitting on his side to a sitting position.
Although Mai Shiraishi didn't recognize the Honzen cuisine in front of her, she saw the movements of Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino next to her and the sumptuous banquet in front of her, and she also understood that the banquet in front of her was not simple. After learning to sit upright with Nishino Nanase, he looked at the hearty food in front of him with some nervousness.
Seeing the restrained appearance of the three of them, Qianye understood that the three of them were obviously nervous because of the formality of this meal, so he said: "The three young ladies don't have to be formal, they don't pay attention to etiquette below, just be casual." Although Ruodie's craftsmanship is not as good as that of a celebrity chef, it is also a must, so please use it slowly. With that, he took the bowl on the left side with his left hand, put the lid on the left side with his right hand, and began to eat.
Seeing that Qianye had already raised his chopsticks, the three of them clapped their hands and said, "I'm moving!" And he began to eat.
Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino obviously know something about the dining etiquette of Honzen cuisine, and they both hold the rice bowl with both hands, then put down their right hand and pick up the chopsticks with their right hand. Every time you eat two bites of rice, put the rice bowl down, then hold the soup bowl with both hands, put down the soup bowl after two sips, and then eat two bites of rice in the same way and then sandwich the dish again.
Mai Shiraishi, who was born in Gunma Prefecture, obviously doesn't understand these dining etiquette, but looking at Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino's ceremonial dining style, she is also trying her best to imitate it.
——————————————————————
After lunch, Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino bid farewell to Chiya and joined up with the rest of Nogizaka 46 again.
"Nanamin, what kind of food is that at noon? Look at you and Nanasai seem to be very formal? Mai Shiraishi was holding the last two dishes in the box, and asked Nanami Hashimoto with some doubts.
Nana Hashimoto glanced at Mai Shiraishi angrily and explained, "It is the most formal Japanese cuisine, and it is a court cuisine that originated in the Heian period. Japan's highest-level hospitality is a banquet with great emphasis on etiquette and etiquette. During the Muromachi period, the third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, made strict and detailed regulations on the content of Japanese cuisine, the utensils used, the order in which the dishes were served, the way they were placed, and the order in which the dishes were served, and they became the current honzen cuisine. ”
Nanase Nishino also nodded on the side and whispered, "When you eat in this meal, you are very particular about both the action and the order of eating. Mai did a lot of things wrong just now, and the most rude thing is that you moved the last two dishes. ”
Mai Shiraishi suddenly panicked and asked, "Huh? Can't you eat the last two dishes? ”
Nanami Hashimoto explained, "The fourth meal is called a barbecue meal, and the fifth meal is called a gift meal, which is a gift from the host to the guests. It should only be seen and not eaten, and finally packed and taken away. Mai, you just did that very rudely. ”
Nanase Nishino also nodded on the side, indicating that Mai Shiraishi's behavior was indeed rude.
Mai Shiraishi suddenly looked ugly and asked, "What should I do then?" Will Chiya-san be angry? Shall I apologize to him? ”
Nanami Hashimoto shook her head and comforted Mai Shiraishi: "Senye-san said at the beginning that there is no formality, he should have guessed that we may not know much about these etiquette. In addition, because the etiquette was too cumbersome, it gradually evolved into kaiseki cuisine after the rise of Western culture in the Meiji era. You don't have to worry too much about the Mai style, just pay attention next time. ”
Mai Shiraishi could only nod a little frustrated at this time, and walked towards the members with Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino.
At this time, Shirakudo and Himura Yuki, who had already finished recording other programs and rushed to the Taisha here, were chatting with the members, looking at Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino who came over, Shirakudo asked teasingly: "The three people who ate alone are back, and your bento Miss Erika has already eaten it for you." ”
Yuki Himura looked at the box that the three of them were holding and asked, "Chiba-san, what good things did you eat?" Do you still have souvenirs? ”
Nanami Hashimoto hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, Senya-san invited us to eat this meal, which is a 'Taiyin' as a gift." ”
"Huh? Honzen cuisine? Shirakutong and Yuki Himura asked in surprise, "It's hard to eat real honzen cuisine now, right?" Formal honzen dishes are usually only seen at ceremonies, coming-of-age ceremonies, and festival banquets, right? ”
Nanami Hashimoto nodded and said, "Senya-san prepares quite regular two soups and five dishes, and all the dishes are even served in lacquerware according to tradition. ”
"It's amazing, I can actually eat a full-fledged meal." Shiraku said with a look of envy, "It's a court cuisine that originated in the Heian period, but since it was abolished in the Meiji era, it's hard to eat real honzen cuisine anymore." You're not doing the wrong etiquette, are you? ”
Hearing Shiraishi ask this, Mai Shiraishi suddenly jumped to her feet and said with a crying voice: "People have done something wrong!" Nanami said that I couldn't touch the food for the fourth and fifth meals, but I ate it, and I did a lot of etiquette wrong. ”
Seeing Mai Shiraishi's sad appearance, Nana Hashimoto hurriedly hugged her and comforted, "Don't be sad, Mai." Didn't Qianye-san say that there was no formality? ”
Being held by Nana Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi said in a choked voice: "But it's really rude, Chiya-san put on such a formal reception, but it turned out to be so rude, it will make him look down on us Nogizaka 46." ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't say anything, so he could only gently pat Mai Shiraishi's back and comfort her.
Shirakutong looked at Mai Shiraishi, who was crying, and said to her, "Shiraishi-san, don't be too sad. The etiquette of Honzen cuisine is something that even Himura-san and I don't understand. And Chiba-san is a very good person, since he entertains you with such formal etiquette, he must have taken into account the situation that you don't understand etiquette, so don't be too sad. If you feel rude, find a chance to apologize to him. ”
After listening to Shirakutong's words, Mai Shiraishi raised her head, nodding and wiping her tears.
Seeing Mai Shiraishi's appearance, Yuki Himura changed the topic on the side and said, "Shiraishi-san, can you let me see the 'Taiyin' you brought back?" I haven't seen real honzen cuisine yet. ”
Seeing that Himura Yuki said this, Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto both handed over the box in their hands, and Nanase Nishino on the side also handed the box in their hands to Himura Yuki.
The other members of Nogizaka 46 also immediately gathered around, looking curiously at the box in Himura's hand.
"I don't need so much, just let me see it." Seeing that the three of them handed the box in their hands to themselves, Himura Yuki hurriedly said that he didn't need so much, and took the box in Nanami Hashimoto's hand and opened it.
When the wrapping cloth on the outside of the box is opened, there is a delicate lacquerware box inside. After Yuki Himura carefully opened the box, a properly grilled fish and a delicate lamb soup were neatly placed in the box. The exquisite food and delicate utensils made Himura Yuki and the members admire.
