A 12,000 yen Ishikari House gift card.

Settled Nurse Ayako.

Every afternoon, Nobunaga Hatoshi can bring a box of Yosen Restaurant and sweets to the inpatient department of the hospital to visit Gifutaro.

When I think of my proud stick skills, I can't beat a 12,000 yen Ishikari house gift.

Nobunaga was a little lost.

The legendary nightclub three SSR classes, as well as black lace equipment......

Sure enough, it couldn't be a fuel-efficient lamp.

I thought I was playing "Night Q Sick Building", maybe people thought Nobunaga Hatobe was a takeaway cowherd delivered to the door for free.

………………………………

The afternoon tea that Nobunaga brought to Kifutaro was not the steamed steamed buns that Ishikariya was selling.

Ishikariya's steamed steamed buns are traditional Chinese steamed buns, which are completely different from the steamed buns that RB people usually eat.

RB's "manju" is a type of wagashi.

If translated into Chinese, it can be understood as bean paste buns, the outer skin of this dim sum is generally made of wheat flour or potato paste, and the inner filling is generally made of red bean paste or white cowpea filling.

Chinese-style steamed buns are solid pastries with no filling.

…………

RB's steamed bun wrap is made with a lot of added sugar. In ancient times, because white sugar was a high-priced luxury, the steamed bread at that time used maltose, and now the steamed bread uses mostly white sugar.

The outer skin of Chinese steamed bread requires alkali or yeast powder to be fermented and fluffy.

If you make a distinction according to the type, the steamed bread of Washi is roughly divided into six types: wine steamed bread, tea steamed bread, water steamed bread, roasted steamed bread, potato steamed bread, and buckwheat steamed bread.

The outer layer of these steamed buns is different, but the inside is filled with bean paste.

…………

The "steamed buns" in wagashi are just a type of dim sum, and they belong to the "raw fruits" of RB dim sum, that is, fresh dim sum with a high water content and a short shelf life.

Ishikariya and Yosen Restaurant steamed steamed buns are mostly served as staple foods rather than dim sum.

This is a staple food category that is not available in Yubari City, Hokkaido, or even in the whole of RB.

Ishikari House can be in Hokkaido, expanding everywhere and invincible. To a large extent, it is aimed at the gap in the RB market for staple foods such as "Chinese steamed buns".

…………

Nobunaga has been trying to make Japanese sweets in order to enrich the assortment of Ishikari houses and increase the profit margin of a single store.

In this way, Ishikariya's business can be expanded from a market segment of coal miners, dock porters, and railway maintenance workers to a refreshment market with higher profits and a broader market.

Japanese manju is a type of Japanese sweets that looks like a small pastry.

Some of them are also delicately decorated, making it difficult to associate them with steamed buns as a staple food.

Therefore, the gross profit margin is also much higher than that of white and large steamed steamed buns.

………………………………

The first Japanese sweets that Yangquan Restaurant tried were Rikyu steamed buns.

Rikyu Manju is named after "Senrikyu", a tea manju.

…………

RB's first independent tea room was created by Sen no Rikyu.

He was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "tea head".

In October 1585, Toyotomi Hideyoshi assumed the post of Sekihaku and held a commemorative tea ceremony in Ouchi, Kyoto.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally presented tea to the emperor, princes, and princes of Shokincho, and it was Sen no Rikyu who served as the assistant for the tea party.

It was at this time that Sen no Rikyu received the "Rikyu" layman given by the Emperor, officially confirming his status as the first tea man of RB.

…………

With the support of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the most powerful man in RB at the time, Sen no Rikyu established a perfect tea ceremony.

RB "Tea Ceremony" tended to peak in the hands of Sen no Rikyu.

Sen no Rikyu combines the life experience of impermanence of life with the tea Zen experience of "nothing in the first place", and freezes it in the four-character formula of "harmony and respect".

The fish basket is a bottle, the bamboo is a pier, and the broken pottery is a dish.

Sen no Rikyu pushed everything to the extreme, both physically and mentally, and the extremely simple and minimalist tea ceremony paradigm he promoted was all the rage and all the rage.

…………

All this made even Toyotomi Hideyoshi feel ashamed.

Because the latter was also born in a reckless manner, and after the secular power tended to peak and could be arbitrarily taken over the life and death of the world, he used a golden tea set and a golden tea room.

In the realm of the tea ceremony, the two are superior and inferior.

…………

Sen no Rikyu is revered as the first "tea saint" of RB, which is equivalent to Lu Yu's status in the history of Chinese tea.

He is a household name in RB and is known as "Rikyu bean paste", "Rikyu tofu", "Rikyu peony", "Rikyu fence", "Rikyu turban", "Rikyu clogs", "Rikyu fans", "Rikyu colors", ......

Sen no Rikyu has become a symbol of RB culture.

…………

"Rikyu Manju" was born in Nara Prefecture in the 18th century, and Sen no Rikyu was a member of the RB Sengoku period in the 16th century, more than 200 years ago.

Sen no Rikyu did not eat this steamed bun and sweets before his death.

This tea steamed bun is mainly brown brown sugar dough, wrapped in bean paste, and then put in the steamed steamed bun.

Because the brown sugar used is produced in Amami Oshima, some people also call it "Oshima Manju".

…………

The amount of experience gained in delivering meals in the hospital is much higher than in Yangquan Restaurant.

Nobunaga Hato's [Wagashi] production level has been improved from [vulnerable] all the way to [barely], and it has slowly moved out of the unpalatable range.

It is only one step away from the [fledgling] pastry level.

………………………………

Discover Yubari City Hospital, a good copy of this brush experience, Nobunaga Hatoto sent afternoon tea to Gifu Taro, and he was more diligent.

On Saturday night, Nobunaga was making steamed bread from wheat flour mixed with brown sugar.

A mysterious diner has come to Yangquan Restaurant.

…………

This is a burly Persian.

He wears a silk coat with brocade with bright patterns and exquisite craftsmanship, and this gorgeous garment has intricate lace and botanical ornamentation.

Even more exaggerated is his crown.

The shape of this tiara is strange, different from the aesthetic of this era, and it is obviously not the same as the crowns common in Europe in the Middle Ages.

The Persians went to an extreme on the path of symbolic art.

The crown of this Persian diner is typical of this type of tiara.

Symbols with auspicious and sacred meanings, including celestial spheres, falcon wings, falcon heads, crescent moons, sheep's horns, etc., all look a little strange on this crown made of sterling silver.

…………

Bang dang!

The other party took out a blue satin bag and threw it heavily on the table.

"Amir Nizam, let me help bring a meal to Yangquan Restaurant."

Nobunaga opened the bag, and inside it were dozens of Sasanian gold coins.

Sassanid gold coins, the king of the currencies of the East and the West.

Gold coins are hard currency, Sassanid gold coins, heavy and beautifully crafted, and of extremely high quality. Even in the 19th century, Sassanid gold coins were widely circulated among the people of Western Asia.

21st century, Sotheby's in London, a high-quality Sassanid gold coin, the highest price is 560,000 yen.

…………

Nobunaga Hatoko poured a glass of loose Sapporo beer and placed it on the other's table.

The Persian nobleman took a sip and nodded, satisfied with the taste of Sapporo's beer.

"How's Nizam doing?" Nobunaga asked.
