Chapter 55: The Diffusion Arc

"What do you want me to see?celebrity?" Under Asada's summons, Gu Tie sat down next to the bar, "Is there any plan?" Or did you find any information?"

"Taste it. With a straight face, he held a clay plate with a slice of sashimi. Gu Tie found out that this guy had already put on a white chef's uniform at some point, with a towel tied on his head and sleeves rolled up, just like a chef's shelf.

"It's too greasy to eat this for breakfast, it's raw and cold. The Chinese didn't expect to ask him to try it, so he picked up the chopsticks next to him with a bitter face. However, the sashimi in the elegant clay dish looks crystal clear, like a red jewel, and the red meat is separated by a trace of white fat, and the elastic fleshy fibers are trembling slightly, which looks very attractive. Gu Tie picked up the sashimi and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and felt the juices overflowing in his mouth, and the fresh and sweet taste of the fish and the mellow flavor of tuna satisfied every taste bud.

"Well, it's delicious. He praised.

Yuyama Asada removed the plate and brought another flat plate, which was still a slice of raw fish on top. This piece of fish meat looks to be firmer, the fat is arranged horizontally, and the color is blood red, Gu Tie commented after tasting it:

"Well, it's delicious. ”

Then there was another piece of raw fish, and then another piece of raw fish, and then another piece of raw fish, and then another piece of raw fish, and finally unfortunately it was still a piece of raw fish. Gu Tie finished eating seven slices of raw fish and threw away his chopsticks: "I know you're testing my sense of taste, this is the legendary luxury platter of seven grades of tuna sashimi, I can see that each piece of meat is different, and I can also eat the different tastes of each piece of meat, but for a layman like me, there is only one level of deliciousness, that is: Well, delicious." Even the last big TORO is just delicious, so don't bother with it,...... WEAKLY ASK, IS THE LAST PIECE OF BIG TORO?"

"It's not. The Ryukyuan replied ruthlessly, "You will be mistaken, I am just preparing some weapons for intelligence work, and in order to attract the big people of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office, you must have esoteric cuisine that you can handle." The tuna sashimi you just ate can be eaten at any restaurant, but the next one is the ultimate tuna sashimi dish that I learned at the Suehiro family in Shizuoka, Japan, and with the closure of the Suehiro family, it has become a swan song in the history of tuna in Japan. ”

Gu Tie secretly scolded his mother in his heart, and he had to pretend to be serious on his face.

Asada brings out a shallow dish from the counter, which is lined with a slice of raw fish, which looks like belly meat from the texture, but the fat is unevenly arranged, and it appears to be a band that curves through the muscle fibers. Gu Tie looked down, couldn't see anything famous, picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth: "If you want me to say, this is not ...... Wait a minute...... I'm a mother!"

If the tuna I had eaten before was a slight fluctuation in the "um-delicious" level, the raw fish I tasted now was fifteen levels higher, reaching the super high level of "damn delicious". Gu Tie gulped down the delicious tuna, and for a long time reminisced about the elastic fish meat, mellow fat, and delicate meat tendons combined to form a harmonious sonata, and every cell of the body was stretched out because of the deliciousness, as if floating in the clouds. "What is this? Is there any?

A grim smile finally appeared on Asada Yuyama's dark face: "This is the legendary HAGASHITORO, the emperor of tuna sashimi! This is the belly of the tuna at the junction of the large and medium toro, with a long tendon covered with a cotton toro, this part cannot be cut with a knife, only the flesh can be torn off with a delicate technique, even if such a large black tuna, the amount of HAGASHI can only fill a medium-sized flat plate, which shows how precious it is......!

"Alright, alright. Gu Tie hurriedly interrupted the other party's boasting, "You said that as a secret weapon, it seems that it must be qualified, why is this part so delicious?"

"This is the subtlety of Japanese cuisine, which brings out the flavor of the ingredients to the fullest, such as large toro which is slightly greasy because it has a fat content of 25% or more, medium toro that is not so greasy, but it contains tuna fascia and has a poor taste, and only hagashi at the junction of the two parts can get the best of both worlds, so it can be said that the whole body of tuna is concentrated in this flavor. Asada introduced.

Gu Tie suddenly remembered something, and put his chopsticks on the bar: "I just simulated the intelligence operations part of the 'tuna sneak attack' in my mind, and I want to attract people at the level of the head of the department of the intelligence investigation room to the store, and it is right to start through the civil servants of the Metropolitan Police Department who work in the same building, but this diffusion arc is estimated to be relatively long, according to my calculations, it will take at least six to seven days before these big shots will appear in the store under the introduction of others, and through these big shots to obtain the necessary information- We don't even know what kind of information it will be about now -- it will take longer, and I'm afraid that the tuna will be spoiled by then, right? I'm afraid that there will be no tuna of such good quality in the Tsukiji market, and if the tuna effect is not continued, the influence of the hotel will not be allowed to be amplified in their social circles, and the plan will be fatally hindered. ”

"You complete layman!" Asada thuded the kitchen knife on the board, startling Gu Tie. "Tuna is not as simple as you think! If according to your calculations, it will take seven days for important people to appear, then it is just right to enjoy this rare black tuna!"

"What? It's going to be unpalatable if you keep it for so long. The Chinese said strangely.

"So you're a layman. The culinary celebrity shook his head hatefully: "All meat, especially red meat, is not the best time when it is just slaughtered, and it must go through a certain aging process, and the ingredients in the meat are broken down into amino acids in large quantities, which will double the flavor of the meat." For example, beef is the best time to eat after two weeks of aging, and those who are familiar with hunting know that after the hunted wild duck is killed, do not cook it directly, but hang it upside down and wait for it to mature naturally, and when the duck's eyes give birth to maggots, it is the best time for the meat, which is about two to three weeks. ”

Hearing the creepy word "maggot", Gu Tie decided not to eat Peking duck in the near future. "So the tuna has to be aged, so isn't the tuna sashimi I just tasted?"

Asada nodded and said, "Generally, tuna can be aged at a low temperature for about 48 hours, but after eight days of maturation, muscle and fat gradually merge into one, and the HAGASHI sashimi made of black tuna that has been aged for eight days is the best in the world!"

Gu Tie couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Okay, okay, it turns out that this world is really full of things that I don't understand...... Sometimes I wonder, why is you a murderer so passionate about cooking? Isn't it the same refreshing feeling to cut a person's trachea with a knife as when you cut fish with a knife?"

"Martial arts, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and food are all the same when they reach the highest level, and your Chinese idiom calls this 'different paths and the same end'. Yuyama Asada turned his fingers, and the famous sword "Kitaya Nakiri" appeared between his fingers, and the sharp sound of "Qiang" came out of the sheath, "I've been patient, and I hope that the dream black tuna HAGASHI sashimi eight days later will be as beautiful as the feeling I felt when I personally killed the villain who kidnapped Naomi!"

"Ah, I used to love knives, but I wasn't interested in slashing people with knives. Gu Tie couldn't help but squint his eyes and glanced at the Metropolitan Police Department building opposite, "For me, it is too merciful to hack such an odious enemy to death, the people who kidnapped Aziwei, I will let them struggle in hell until the end of the world." ”

The two men were silent, the first ray of winter sunlight broke through the clouds to illuminate the black and red signboard of the small shop "Toro", and also illuminated the majestic Metropolitan Police Department building across the street, the street lights went out, the pedestrians increased, Tokyo began to slowly wake up in the world's most densely populated metropolis, ant-like office workers gradually crowded the railways, trams and fast lanes, the capital of the declining huge economic empire could not see the slightest depression, it was still the world's fastest-paced, most prosperous, The most crowded megacities also hide the most evil, perverted, and dehumanized gloom.

The morning sun illuminated Gu Tie's side face, and the makeup on his face made him look like an ordinary Japanese middle-aged and young man, but when a pair of dark brown eyes lit up, even Asada Yuzan did not dare to speculate on the wisdom and power contained in them. And behind the cooking table stood the silent Ryukyuan people, his slender figure was never shrouded in the sun, his gloomy face was carved with deep wrinkles, no one knew whether it was the rings of real years, or just another old mask, Gu Tie knew almost nothing about this man, and what did he know about Gu Tie the day before yesterday? The two could not trust each other, but because they needed each other, they temporarily joined together, and set their eyes on the organization that was still in the dream of the underground empire. Buried deep underground, no one realizes that they have become the target of others, they only care about immediate issues, identity, position, power and money.

"Did you hear that? The Toro store across the street is about to reopen, and they've paid a fortune to auction off the tuna from Tsukiji Market!"

"Really? I must try it that night...... No, noon, noon!"

The hurricane blew from the uniformed police duty room on the 7th floor of the Metropolitan Police Department building.
