Chapter 3: Gifu Taro and Takeda Taishan
Nobunaga was busy in the restaurant on the first floor.
Apprentice Kifutaro sleeping.
Yesterday, Kifu Taro was in charge of cleaning up, and the coal workers drank a lot of wine yesterday, and it was late in the day, and Nobunaga Hatoshi slept first.
This child lives with his sister Meizi.
…………
After the discovery of open-pit coal mines in 1874 by RB engineer Taro Sakaizhiro, coal mines became the main industry that led to the development of the Yubari area.
In 1943, when Yubari was restructured into Yubari City, there were 24 large and small coal mines in the territory, and the population reached 140,000.
Over the past 100 years, more than 17,000 miners have died in mining accidents.
In 1971, another gas explosion occurred at the Yubari New Coal Mine, killing 193 people. Among them, the parents of the Gifu Taro siblings died in the mining accident.
At that time, the Yubari New Coal Mine drove coal miners to work up to 12 hours a day without any labor protection measures.
After the gas explosion accident, Yubari New Carbon Mining was closed for rectification.
…………
In 1975, in the face of heavy pressure from public opinion, Yubari New Carbon Mining compiled the "List of the Dead of Yubari New Carbon Mining".
The president of Yubari Shintan Mining is the second son of the famous Yoshida family in Hokkaido, Yoshida Todda.
The mayor of Yubari City, named Hisashi Yoshida, was elected mayor for two consecutive terms.
…………
In 1975, in the "List of the Dead of Yubari New Carbon Mining Co., Ltd.".
Two-thirds of miners' deaths are attributable to illness.
They even fabricate a variety of causes of death, such as athlete's foot, heart palsy, and even syphilis, in order to reduce the amount of compensation.
The cause of death of the parents of the Gifu Taro siblings was classified as the death caused by illegal operations, and Yubari Shintan Mining was exempted from liability and only paid 12,000 yen in compensation out of humanitarian reasons.
…………
The parents of the Gifutaro siblings took care of the business of the Yangquan Restaurant before their deaths.
It is one of the few old customers who survived in the period of "fragile steamed steamed buns".
At that time, there was a buy two get three free discount for steamed buns. This activity was canceled when the steamed buns reached the level of "entering the house".
After the incident, the life of the Gifu Taro siblings was very difficult.
Nobunaga Hatoya simply hired Kifu Taro as an apprentice in the hotel. Meizi's grades were good, and she continued to study at a boarding school.
…………………………
In the morning, a familiar customer appeared at Nobunaga's house.
This bespectacled teenager is holding a heavy textbook in his hand.
"Ding! Muto Taishan, who has been captured, has appeared! ”
Nobunaga Hatoshi took a steamed steamed bun that had just come out of the oven.
Cut open a bag of mustard and poured a plate of mustard slices for Muto Taishan.
…………
Mustard is really good to sell in RB.
A slice of mustard can be sold for 200 yen, and it is also very popular with diners.
Some guests are heavier, and a big white steamed bun can be served with two or three plates of mustard slices, plus a bowl of miso soup.
This semi-finished side dish is the main source of income for Nobunaga's small shop.
It's a pity that mustard doesn't have proficiency......
Otherwise, Nobunaga Hatoshi really wanted to change the Yosenlou into an izakaya. Specializes in selling canned and semi-finished dishes to brush up on proficiency. Recruit some female students from Musashi Women's Junior College in Hokkaido to work part-time at the store......
"Ding! Invincible steamed steamed buns. ”
…………………………
"Hado, your talent should really go to Tokyo, not make steamed buns here. Obviously, your other dishes are doing well. ”
Of course, there is still a word that Muto Taishan has not said.
This steamed bun is really special.
Whenever I fall into a setback in my entrance examination and am exhausted, I come to eat a white steamed bun in Yangquanlou, and I will immediately recover my strength.
It's a powerful dish, and it's no wonder that the nearby coal miners love to come to this shop.
In the process of applying to the University of Tokyo five times in a row, Muto Taishan and this Chinese restaurant have formed a deep bond.
"Muto Taishan, please call me Nobunaga Hato. Don't use such strange nicknames. Nobunaga frowned.
"Okay, dove." Muto Taishan opened the book as it should.
Nobunaga Hato: "......"
This damn system.
This Muto Tarzan was the first diner he caught.
Capture.
A special kind of spiritual blending process.
Diners and Nobunaga have a special bond.
This feeling is a bit of a feeling of cultivating the "Ape Strike Technique" at the spiritual level.
That strange feeling, every time I remember it, it gives Nobunaga goosebumps all over his body and produces strong discomfort.
…………
Muto Taishan muttered, "I'm moving." ”
I started to drink a flavor of soup, and then I began to mix it with slices of mustard and nibble on the freshly baked big white steamed buns.
"Ding! No effect! ”
Muto Taishan begins to eat, and Nobunaga receives a familiar hint.
"No effect?"
This is the first time Nobunaga has heard Muto Taishan eat steamed steamed buns, and such a system prompt is hard.
In the past, every time Muto Taishan ate steamed steamed buns, it was all 'ding!' Not very effective'.
It can be seen that Muto Taishan and steamed steamed buns are not very compatible, and it is even very likely that they hate pasta.
…………
Based on Nobunaga's cooking experience over the years.
People have a strong inertia about the nature of "food".
The matching degree of food is like the shackles of fate, and some people can't break free from it in their lifetime......
In other words, the phase of "diner" and "food" is fixed.
Muto Taishan and the dish of "steamed steamed buns" actually showed a decline in phase.
Nobunaga was a little confused.
…………………………
"Here we are. Muto Taishan. ”
"Muto-kun, when were you Zhang Xi first?"
"When will you be admitted to the University of Tokyo?"
This is Kifutaro waking up and going downstairs to help.
While he provoked Muto Tarzan on a daily basis, he began to crack open cans of sardines, probably because of the half-finished product, which was also unskilled.
There are also canned ingredients such as tofu, natto, pickles, and salmon flakes that are not skillful, and Nobunaga Hatoshi leaves them all to Gifutaro to open and plate.
In the past few years, he and Muto Taishan have been junior high school classmates, and the two often joke about each other. Muto Taishan once bought a newly bought textbook was snatched away by the bad teenagers from the university next door, and asked Muto Taishan to bring money to redeem it.
It was still Kifutaro who took two sickles and took a half-day off with Nobunaga Hato, to settle the matter.
…………………………
Muto Taishan, this kid, has been stunned by the exam over the years.
In fact, his grades are more than enough to go to an ordinary university, such as Yubari Coal Industry University.
However, what about the University of Kaodong......
That's a fantasy.
Let's not talk about the University of Tokyo, which has an outrageously low acceptance rate.
In 1979, the cost of applying to the University of Tokyo was extremely high.
The application fee is 50,000 yen, the special course fee is 300,000 to 400,000 yen, and the University of Tokyo's academic guidance textbook is 200,000 yen......
…………
When he first met Muto Taishan, Nobunaga was still trying to raise the level of dishes to the level of "a generation of grandmasters" through the righteous path.
Yangquan Restaurant is also a famous and decent Chinese restaurant, and has not been reduced to "Steamed Bun Evil Dao" and "Miners' Club".
Since then, both paranoids have chosen their own rugged paths.
Yangquan Restaurant began to fall into the paranoid "Steamed Bun Evil Path".
Muto Taishan's family background also deteriorated as he applied for the University of Tokyo, failing to pass the test repeatedly......
…………
Muto Taishan is the only person wearing a shirt in the Yangquan Hotel.
He was very tall, with a pale complexion, and his shirt was cleanly washed with a faint scent of soap.
Muto Taishan speaks to people.
He is always full of international politics, world pattern, and macroeconomy, and teaches people to half-understand.
Every time he came to the store, he said to the cabinet: "A steamed steamed bun, I want a plate of mustard slices." ”
Three 100 yen coins were then released.
…………
Once, Muto Taishan stole from a bookstore, the new year's University of Tokyo の academic ability guidance textbook.
When he escaped, he climbed over the wall and broke his leg.
During that time, Muto Taishan no longer had the scholarly spirit of the past, and he no longer talked about macroeconomics and international geopolitics......
He limped and walked with his head down, his face was dark and thin, and his shirt was dirty and smelled sour.
At the time of checkout, the voice is very low:
"Can I take credit? I recently bought a set of mock test papers. ”
It's embarrassing to see this nerd.
Nobunaga not only confiscated the money, but also encouraged:
"Come on! You won't drown if you fall in the water, you won't drown if you stay in the water. You only have to swim, keep swimming......"
As a result, it was self-defeating......
