Chapter 14: The Long and Slow Road Ahead (Part 3)
~~ Recommend a "Xinghan Room" written by a water friend, travel through the Han Dynasty to present the emperor, and Xing my Han Dynasty is mighty!
Lu Xihua didn't seem to be eating fast, but a large box of beef platter went down very quickly. While Izumi Sakurai was still savoring the bequest from the ocean, Lu Xihua had already wiped out the whole box of beef, but the rice was not moving, he was not used to the softer rice in Japan.
The Japanese eat very fine ingredients, rarely bone-in meat, and even the rice is on the soft side.
And the Chinese people are not, eating chicken, duck, and pig's trotters, all of which are eaten with bones, which is fragrant, and as for pork ribs, they can make hundreds of different fancy dishes.
Explained from the physiological structure of the human body, such eating habits will have different consequences. During the growth period of young children, because they often gnaw on bones, the gums can be strongly squeezed, which is a benign stimulus to the gums, which can force it to fully grow and grow straight teeth after tooth replacement.
Gnawing on bones regularly and without gnawing bones is like a steel knife hidden in a scabbard.
Teeth that are accustomed to gnawing on bones are like sharpened and well-maintained knives, which are sharp and beautiful, while Japanese teeth are like knives rusted in sheaths because they do not gnaw bones, and they cannot function regardless of their texture.
So the young lady of Japan, don't look beautiful, her temperament and dress are first-class, she looks gentle and cute or a royal sister, but when she laughs, that pair of teeth is really flattering.
Lu Xihua was not interested in this soft rice, so he left it behind.
"It tastes good, and it's a famous breed of beef in Japan. ”
"Of course, the most famous local specialty in Sendai is beef tongue, which has a history of more than 50 years, and the beef tongue of Yonezawa beef is used by long-established local restaurants. Sakurai Izumi heard Lu Xihua praising the deliciousness of the beef Bendang to herself, and her professional habits as a host made her can't help but talk again.
"Oh, why did Sendai choose something so special as beef tongue as a local character?" replied Lu Xihua with an interesting reply.
Izumi Sakurai paused in embarrassment before adding, "It's a habit from World War II. At that time, the U.S. military stationed in the area introduced the habit of eating beef, but because the U.S. military did not eat beef tongue but discarded it at will, the thrifty (hungry) locals felt sorry for it and began to try to make beef tongue into a dish. ”
Lu Xihua glanced at Sakurai Spring, this kind of folk interpretation is very similar to the famous dish of Huaxia Shu ~ husband and wife lung slices, all of which are made of materials that others look down on and discarded, and use unique craftsmanship to make them amazing food.
It's just that the Chinese people's talent in food is far higher than that of the Japanese, and they do not limit their vision to the beef tongue, but widely use all kinds of beef offal.
"Thank you for your explanation~ It made me feel good. After saying this, Lu Xihua looked out the window again, the train passed through Shinagawa without stopping, and was about to arrive in Yokohama.
Regarding the impression of Sendai mentioned by the young lady just now, Lu Xihua's memory is limited to one person.
The thin body, with white skin, seems to be haggard like a patient recovering from a serious illness, but he is in good spirits, the whole person is full of energy, and his eyes are bright. His hair stood straight on end, not a single one was drooping, all of them were so long, and above his head was a "dense forest". The most striking thing is that his beard ~ is extremely thick, and it is extremely similar to the word "one" in Lishu.
This person traveled east to Japan to study at Sendai Medical College, wanting to change the title of the Chinese people's 'sick man of East Asia', but he was greatly shocked during a slide observation organized by the school. That experience made him realize that mental numbness was more terrible than physical weakness. In order to change the tragic fate of the Chinese nation in the modern world, where there are many powerful countries, the most important thing is to change the spirit of the Chinese people, and what is good at changing the spirit of the Chinese people is first and foremost literature and art.
So this person gave up medicine and began to translate foreign literary works, prepare literary magazines, publish articles, and engage in literary activities, and then became a generation of masters in the history of Chinese literature, and was called the backbone of the nation by later generations.
Of course, Lu Xihua has never seen this gentleman, and most of his impressions are from Mr. Liang Shiqiu's family, who was recommended by Mr. Zhang Boling, the founder of Nankai University, to take refuge in the Xihua community built by himself in the mountain city.
Regarding the grievances between Liang Shiqiu and that person, Lu Xihua didn't want to ask more, he still had some understanding of the consistent style of literati, and the difference in cultural background and experience would cause a great deviation in the understanding of the same thing.
There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and literati are light, because no one obeys anyone. However, the great ideological controversy that shook the entire cultural circles of the Republic of China was born against the background of the specific proletarian revolutionary literary movement at that time.
As for who wins and who loses, a discerning person can see at a glance that what is in line with the development of the nation is correct, and as for the petty-bourgeois sentiment of the individual, it is better not to mention it. In the end, the controversy between different literary ideas was finally given a strong political color, and the feelings between the two literary giants were also wounded incorrectly.
However, after the death of that person, Liang Shiqiu never said a bad word about him in his life, which can be regarded as a kind of mind.
Slowly, little by little, the memories that had long disappeared reappeared in Lu Xihua's memories.
Han Caier, Yellow Cat, Guo Wen, Zhou Hexuan...
Gradually, Lu Xihua's eyes were a little foggy.
Beyond Yokohama, to the southwest, is the famous Sagami Bay, one of Japan's most famous hot springs and bathing beaches.
The morning glow has passed, and under the clear sky is a sea of blue waves, and the brilliance of the silver scales is the most dazzling scenery by the car window at this moment.
Far away from the city of Tokyo, the dark clouds hanging overhead were far away from everyone, and everyone seemed happy, but at this moment, Lu Xihua, who had tears in his eye sockets, was unusually calm, and he seemed out of place with everyone around him who was chatting happily, which immediately attracted the attention of Sakurai Izumi.
"I cried when I saw Sagami Bay, are you from Shonan, or is this the place of your first love?"
"Sort of~ Thinking of some things from the past, I'm a little distracted. Lu Xihua did not evade, and admitted a little truth on the side.
Izumi Sakurai gently covered his pink lip gloss with his hand, how exaggerated and exaggerated it was, and said, "It's really a memory of youth~"
This is Shonan, Sagami Bay?
Lu Xihua looked at the coastal road below the Shinkansen and the sea in the distance, as well as the bits and pieces of white-sailed pleasure boats on the sea, and suddenly thought of a cartoon, which was his favorite when he was in an orphanage, accompanying him through lonely nights one after another, giving himself inexplicable courage.
On the beach, also in Shonan, a red-haired high school boy stands in front of a level crossing, waiting for a dark green tram to pass by. After the tram, on the opposite side of the warning pole was a blue sea sky, and three high school girls who were about to go to school were chatting with their school bags.
Suddenly, one of the long-haired girls, standing at the other end of the level crossing, waved happily at the red-haired boy.
In the background, another handsome man with short black hair on a bicycle, with headphones in his ears, is speeding down the seaside road.
"Good morning, Sakuragi-san. ”
"Good morning, Haruko~"
Lu Xihua softly read these two sentences out of his mouth, and was heard by Sakurai Izumi's little ears, and immediately asked curiously, "Your name is Sakuragi, and your first love is Haruko?" The two little eyes were full of gossip.
Lu Xihua ignored her, but closed his eyes and sang the song in a low voice, paying tribute to his long-gone memories.
"I was running through the streets under the bright sun. ”
"You slapped me on the shoulder as you normally would. ”
"I don't know when I became obsessed with you for no apparent reason. ”
Sakurai Izumi was still complaining that Lu Xihua ignored him and closed his eyes, when he suddenly heard him sing a strange song, and was about to laugh at it, but he felt that the tune was moving, very passionate, and deeply attracted him.
"I want to say I love you out loud and try to change tomorrow~"
"Break the gradual freezing of time. ”
"I want to say out loud that I like you, so get the courage to take the first step~"
"I hope you can accept my fervent thoughts!"
With an exciting score and passionate lyrics, Izumi Sakurai, as a famous host of TBS TV's news channel, can swear to Amaterasu that he has never heard such a touching song.
In the song and lyrics, the kind of unscrupulous, simple and fiery desire for love between young men and women in middle school is so real.
Could it be that this Sakuragi-san is still a lover?!You actually wrote such a touching song for your past high school sweetheart?!You are such a genius?!
