"Although the ratings of the first episode of this show are unexpectedly good, but looking at Cao Sang's appearance, I have expected this, right?"

As soon as he heard Kozo Nagayama say this, Akina Nakamori immediately nodded: "Yes, that's right, as soon as this drama was filmed, he told me that in this era, even if this drama is not the first in the ratings this year, it will not be much worse, and the ratings are definitely above thirty." ”

"Sure enough." Yongshan Kozo nodded, "Cao Sang is talented, and he can also anticipate things like a god, which is indeed worthy of admiration." ”

Immediately afterwards, Yongshan Gengsan said: "I originally wanted to say hello to Cao Sang in person, but since Cao Sang is still sleeping, this good news can be put down first, this ......"

After a slight pause, Yongshan Kozo said carefully: "I don't know when Cao Sang will wake up?" Or am I waiting for him here? ”

Akina Nakamori frowned, and was about to open her mouth to refuse, when she suddenly heard Cao Zhiqiang's voice.

"No need, if you have anything to say, you can tell me now."

After hearing this voice, Yongshan Kozo was the first to stand up and bowed lightly to Cao Zhiqiang, who was yawning out of the bedroom, and then smiled: "Cao Sang, you woke up, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest." ”

Cao Zhiqiang covered his mouth and yawned, and waved his hand at Yongshan Gengsan: "Forget it, it's all here, what's the use of talking about it now." ”

"Zhiqiang-san." Akina Nakamori also stood up and said, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

"What are you sleeping?"

Cao Zhiqiang came to Nakamori Akina in slippers, and pointed to Nagayama Kosan opposite: "This guy rang the doorbell for so long before, and he woke him up."

I wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I got up and heard you talking at the door. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said to the somewhat embarrassed Yongshan Gengsan: "By the way, I won't tell you yet, I'll go to the toilet to pee and talk back." ”

When Cao Zhiqiang came out of the toilet, he found that only Kozo Nagayama was sitting at the table, and Akina Nakamori did not sit and chat with him as before, but was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Nakamori Akina is called sushi for breakfast.

Specifically, it is to prepare other ingredients while steaming rice.

Among them, the rice in the steamer is organic Koshihikari rice that is not pesticides here in Japan, and the other ingredients are various sashimi, pickled radish, ham sausage, and other things that have been frozen at low temperatures.

The so-called organic Koshihikari rice is actually a type of rice produced in Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture.

Niigata Prefecture is a famous rice-producing region in Japan, and most of the rice grown is japonica rice.

The reason why it is called Koshihikari rice is because Fukui and Niigata belong to the same area of the ancient Japanese Ritsu system, so in 1956, a new type of hybrid japonica rice produced here was officially named "Koshihikari rice".

To put it bluntly, this rice is not original, it is a new product that has undergone special training later.

Due to its large yield, strong resistance to pests and diseases, and good taste, this rice is named after this name.

However, unlike what the Japanese government advertises, most of the rice in Niigata Prefecture is actually made with a lot of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and the amount used is far more than that of China during the same period.

Therefore, Koshihikari rice is not necessarily organic rice, these are two different things.

However, it is not that there is no organic rice that does not use pesticides and chemical fertilizers, this kind of pure natural organic rice still exists, but the output is very small, during this period, it is mainly used for export to earn foreign exchange, which is mainly in Europe and the United States.

The concept of organic food only began to emerge in the 70s, before that, Japan began to export rice, but all of them exceeded the pesticide standard.

When Japan's economy began to take off and jumped to the second place in the world in terms of GDP, European and American countries began to crack down on Japanese goods.

Among them, the pesticide residue indicators for Japanese rice are particularly strict.

Later, Japan simply made some organic rice out and exported it to Europe and the United States, and then started the signboard of Japanese rice, and at the same time continued to export a large number of green rice brands, which are actually ordinary rice that uses a lot of pesticides and fertilizers.

In other words, at least 80% of the rice exported from Japan is pesticide-used, and Japan's use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has always been the highest in Asia, both now and in the future.

At the same time, other Asian countries, such as China, Thailand, Cambodia, etc., wanted to follow Japan's example, but their fertilizers and pesticides were insufficient, and the cost of using those things was too high, so they used less.

There is a trivia that since the 60s, Japan has always ranked first in the world in terms of pesticide use per unit, and which country is ranked second to Japan? It's not the United States, it's not France, Britain or the Soviet Union, it's South Korea!

That's right, since the sixties, especially so far, the number one pesticide use per unit of crops has always been Japan, and the second has always been South Korea.

It is between the first and second places in the use of pesticides, and the use of pesticides in Japan, which is the first place, is almost double the amount of pesticides used in South Korea!

For example, in 2010, Japan's pesticide use was 18.78 kg/ha (kilograms per hectare), while South Korea, which ranked second, used 9.8 kg/ha in the same period.

As a comparison, the amount of pesticide used in the United States during the same period was only 0.96kg/ha, and it was not until 2010 that China reached 0.97, just reaching the level of the United States.

This shows how much pesticide is used in Japan.

Another piece of cold knowledge is that after 2,000 years, the use of pesticides in Japan has decreased a lot compared to the past, due to technological advances, including advances in seed technology, advances in pesticide technology, and so on.

In the 70s and 80s, the use of pesticides in Japan was simply frenzied.

What pesticides irrigate the roots and soak the seeds in medicine, this is a daily phenomenon in Japan, and China started to play like this, it will be 2,000 years later.

It is said that domestic leeks are soaked in pesticides, and the roots should be irrigated with pesticides, but what many people don't know is that this trick is still learned from Japan.

And even if domestic leeks are soaked with pesticides, the dosage is strictly in accordance with the standards, and they dare not use ultra-concentrated.

It's not so much that the domestic peasants are good, but that they themselves are afraid, and they don't have enough money, so they want to save money.

Because pesticides also cost money to drop, and domestic leeks are cheap and can't be sold as expensive as Japanese leeks, so it's normal to be reluctant to use drugs.

After all, no one does a loss-making business.

However, Japan's agricultural products are different, and Japan's agricultural products are mainly exported to earn foreign exchange, and the native people do not eat them.

In fact, there is a strange phenomenon in Japanese agriculture that many people don't know, that is, Japan's self-produced agricultural products are actually a kind of commercial pesticides, most of which are exported to earn foreign exchange.

As for Japan's food rations, most of them are imported.

Therefore, Japan is not only a major exporter of agricultural products, but also a major importer of agricultural products.

Japan earns foreign exchange by exporting high-quality agricultural products to the country, and then imports cheap rice and flour and other products for its own consumption, which is similar to that of the Netherlands and Israel.

This has to do with Japan's geography.

Japan's land suitable for cultivation is small, and most of it is small, so it is impossible to learn from China and the United States to engage in large-scale mechanized operations, so they can only play the style of fine work.

However, in order to produce more production in the same area, it is necessary to use a large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but even so, the price of agricultural products is still very high.

Therefore, Japan has made all kinds of propaganda to preach the goodness of Japanese agricultural products, and the whole world has believed it, and then frantically sells Japanese rice, vegetables, fruits, and seafood at high prices, and then imports cheap agricultural, forestry, and fishery products from all over the world.

In order to increase the competitiveness of agricultural products, Japan uses a large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in better shape of fruits, and with various propaganda, everyone will naturally believe it.

In fact, if you think about it, why are Japanese agricultural products so good?

For example, why are apples so big, so round, so beautiful, and not buggy at all?

Do you think it's someone else's fine workmanship, manual bagging? Artificial insect catching?

No, it's all killed by pesticides!

That's right, apple bagging technology is indeed the first to be used in Japan, but only rely on this, without pesticides, the same blindness, especially in terms of planting density in Japan, without pesticides, apple trees can not survive at all.

Not only fruit trees, such as rice, but also pesticides in Japan.

Those of you who have studied history and geography may have heard that Japanese agriculture is a type of fine workmanship.

What is Seiko?

Do you think it's a farmer who honestly serves every day?

No, no, no, the so-called fine work is to use pesticides and fertilizers like crazy, so that the yield and quality can be maintained while maintaining a very high planting density.

Later, in China, the output of chemical fertilizers and pesticides went up, but the state controlled the basic grain prices, and the prices of other agricultural products were too cheap, and economic problems led farmers to spontaneously reduce the amount of pesticides and fertilizers, because pesticides and fertilizers cost money, and if they hit too much, they would lose money.

But Japan is different, Japan's self-produced agricultural products are basically exported to earn foreign exchange, and the price is extremely high, so those exported fruits are filled with pesticides and fertilizers.

However, Japan can boast about the whole country, and it may be able to do so in Southeast Asia such as Hong Kong at this time when it does not know the truth, but Europeans and Americans are not easy to fool.

In fact, in the mid-70s, because Japan's GDP exceeded 60% of the GDP of the United States, the United States began to suppress Japan in various ways.

Among them, suppressing the export of Japanese agricultural products is one way, and the method of suppression is pesticide residues, that is, engaging in organic food.

Contrary to what many people think, the first to engage in organic food was not Europe, but the United States.

At first, the organic food thing was just a group of technicians who laughed at themselves, but then the United States thought that this thing was good and could hit the agriculture of other countries, so it picked it up and used it.

Of course, the elites of the rice country have also started to eat organic food early, which is another matter.

Very simply, organic food is not allowed to use pesticides and fertilizers, which is equivalent to returning to the past, where does this model come from.

As a result, this trick could not fool poor countries, so it was simply regarded as a high-standard diet.

In the mid-to-late 70s, in order to avoid repression, Japan began to export organic food, but this was mainly exported to Europe and the United States, and the quantity was so lost, it was a face-saving project.

But relying on this face-saving project to cover up the fact that other agricultural products in Japan are frantically using pesticides and fertilizers.

For example, nine out of ten of Japan's agricultural products exported to Asia are pesticides, but they deliberately do not say so.

Of course, in order to save face, Japan has also cultivated some genuine organic farmland, such as Uonuma City in Niigata Prefecture, which is one of the pioneers.

Most of the real Japanese organic rice comes from this area, after all, after many years of cultivation, it has indeed formed a large area of organic farmland, similar to the Wuchang area on the mainland.

However, the production of organic rice in Uonuma City is very scarce, and the real Koshihikari organic rice is very expensive, mainly exported.

The other Koshihikari rice is basically only the seed of Koshihikari rice, or even the seeds, but they are just sold under the sign of Koshihikari rice.

The production areas are even more varied, and it is not Uonuma City at all, and there are all kinds of messes.

In addition, in order to pursue yield and taste, Koshihikari rice, which is not produced in Uonuma City, is basically pesticide rice.

The amount of organic rice produced in Uonuma City is strictly controlled, and once it is produced, it has been set for a long time.

You ordinary Japanese want to eat real Uonuma organic rice, but it is more difficult than Chinese to eat real Gotsu rice.

However, as long as you have money and a way, this is not a problem.

Not to mention anything else, on the side of the Mi Army base, as long as you are willing to spend a lot of money, you can exchange it for real Koshihikari organic rice.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang's organic Koshihikari rice produced in Uonuma City here is not so complicated, and this is just a reward for simple system sign-in.

Long before the system was upgraded, Cao Zhiqiang had signed for this kind of rice, but at a very early time, this rice had already been eaten up by him and his sister.

Later, the system was upgraded, and the system products that had been signed in before could be bought in the system mall with the points of daily sign-in, and the price of similar foods was particularly cheap, so Cao Zhiqiang did not hesitate to spend a little bit of money to buy some similar foods in the system mall.

That's how Koshihikari organic rice from Uonuma City, Japan, comes from.

There are others, such as live bluefin tuna, black sea caviar, Australian lobster, Japanese abalone, etc., which also come this way.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang only exchanges enough for himself every time he exchanges, never exchanges in large quantities, and then sells them for money.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang hasn't thought about it, but he has a lot of money now, and he doesn't need to do it at all.

And these luxury foods themselves are top-quality goods, and he, a Chinese temporarily living in Japan, if he comes up with a large number of top-quality ingredients from unspeakable sources at every turn, then there is a problem, and then the relevant Japanese personnel should talk to him.

But if it's just this kind of eating secretly, then there is no problem, and even if a few people know about it, it's nothing, at most, they think that he spent a lot of money and bought it from a certain source.

This kind of situation of buying and eating by yourself is not a problem in Japan at all.

A lot of restaurants that open their doors do business, not to mention that he just eats it for himself.

That is to say, the son of a wealthy family has long been immune to this kind of thing, or he doesn't care much.

If you were to come over to an ordinary Japanese and see that the rice that Akina Nakamori usually eats is actually authentic organic rice from Uonuma City, you will definitely have to cover your mouth and exclaim in exclamation, and then all kinds of admiration and envy of Balabala.

Speaking of which, Akina Nakamori was originally a very modest and simple little girl, her life was very simple, and her diet was very simple.

But since following Cao Zhiqiang, she quickly fell.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of diet, it is inseparable from small animals and small plants, and they are all top-level small animals and small plants.

In other words, since living with Cao Zhiqiang, Akina Nakamori has completely bid farewell to the era of eating ordinary rice.

For example, the rice bar is either this kind of Uonuma organic japonica rice, or Cambodian organic fragrant rice.

Others, like Alpine organic rice, Pakistani long grain rice, Egyptian Komore rice, you name it.

If you want to eat meat, you can eat as much as you want about the three major Japanese Wagyu beef, Alpine goats, and continental black goats.

I want to eat fruits, what Musang King durian, Changji watermelon, Meizhou lychee, what you want to eat.

Not to mention seafood, all kinds of lobster, abalone, big crabs, and a lot of Nakamori Acai can't be called a variety of varieties, that is, you can eat it if you want to, and they are all fresh and live.

It can be said that the food and drink of Akina Nakamori now are all the world's top ingredients and drinks.

Just these daily food and drinks, if they are converted into money, at least with Nakamori Akina's past income, it will definitely not be able to support it.

Even the current Akina Nakamori, with her own income, can't stand this kind of eating and drinking.

But if it was brought by Cao Zhiqiang, and it didn't cost money every time, and every time he said it was sent by a friend, it didn't matter.

At first, Akina Nakamori was curious, where did these come from, and who could be so kind to send back such a top luxury.

But then I thought that Cao Zhiqiang had a mysterious fiancée in China, so I was relieved.

Yes, Akina Nakamori blames all this on Cao Zhiqiang's "wealthy fiancée".

Since it is a wealthy family in the mainland, it is naturally nothing to have these things.

Maybe this is the price of falling in love with an unusual man!

Farewell, ordinary rice!

It turns out that the top ingredients are really better than ordinary ingredients!

If others could know what they were eating, it would be even better!

Three meals a day is so luxurious and low-key.

If you let Akina Nakamori choose again.

She'll definitely say, this meal is delicious!
