~~ 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!

The word 'bento' is derived from the folk slang of the Southern Song Dynasty in China, which means 'convenient, easy'.

It is described in the Song people's "History of the Five Dynasties of Pinghua, History of the Han Dynasty, Volume I": "Since the sister-in-law is suitable for others, she has to teach the matchmaker to make an engagement with the marriage owner, and it is a convenience to take advantage of the success. 」

The Qing dynasty Liu Que also wrote in the "Travels of the Old Remnant": "The palanquin man said: 'This place is the Doumu Palace, and it is full of sisters-in-law, and the wives eat here very conveniently. But all the high-class guest officers go up the mountain to eat in this temple. ’」

You see, the meaning here is simple and easy to understand, that is, it is very convenient. When the word 'bento' was introduced to Japan, it was rewritten as the homophone 'Bendang', which was used to refer specifically to boxed meals that could be carried.

As early as the Azuchi-Momoyama period in Japan (the second half of the 16th century, when Oda Nobunaga and Toyosei Hideyoshi reigned supreme), the first form of Bento appeared, and Japanese daimyo and aristocrats often carried it with them when they went out to enjoy the flowers and see the autumn leaves.

In the Azuchi-Momoyama period, Bendang was made very simply, that is, some rice balls, and then some pickles and dried fish. During the Edo period, as the standard of living of the common people greatly improved, the types and forms of Bendang began to be enriched, such as 'Bendang for cherry blossom viewing', 'Bendang for watching dramas', and 'Bento for pleasure boats'.

And now Lu Xihua is standing in front of the 'Station Benya Festival', which specializes in selling railway bento.

"駅" is the post in Huaxia, which means station, and "駅�Ben" is the bendang sold at the station and on the train.

It is said that there are more than 5,000 types of Bento at stations along the Japanese railways alone, and the 'Station Benya.Matsuri' between platforms 6 and 7 is said to be home to about 170 types of railway bendang, which are popular in various regions.

The dark brown wooden door was open, and a small light-powered lantern hung under the porch. On the right side of the door is a large glass curtain with a wide variety of bendang neatly arranged inside, and each set of bendang is marked with a small wooden sign indicating the price.

These bento boxes for display and display are all physical models made of special materials, and this alone costs a lot. But it is an act of absolute pride to operate as a service-oriented Japanese restaurant.

Because it shows customers the material of food raw materials and the appearance of finished products in the most realistic way, it greatly stimulates customers' desire to buy. Compared with the Chinese habit of using words and photos to show their own food, it can better capture the appetite of guests.

After all, most Japanese food is served cold, and without the support of the ingredients to heat up and produce a flavor, the appearance can only be used to please the guests.

Bendang is beautiful, but today is not the time.

People in a hurry passed by the store, but very few went in to buy it. Carrying large packages and suitcases, they lined up in front of the ticketing machines with sad faces, ready to temporarily flee the city and go to relatives and friends in other places or in the countryside.

Tickets were sold out quickly, the long queue did not decrease at all, and from time to time someone shouted 'Why is there no ticket so soon!', but instead of leaving disappointed, he turned his head and discussed with his lover, and it seemed that he could not do it directly to the destination, so he could only go to the field first and then transit.

In any case, leaving the city of Tokyo is the primary goal, and it is better to stay away from the terrible unknown thing in the sky.

That's why tickets are bought very quickly wherever you depart, and tickets are sold in many places two days later.

There were a lot of people coming and going, but very few of them came into the store to buy Bendang, which was completely different from the busy situation in the past, which made the store manager, who had prepared a lot of ingredients in the morning, very anxious. This is because several customers who had booked a high-end bento suddenly called to cancel their orders, preferring not to pay the deposit in advance.

I am afraid that the plans of the vast majority of people in Tokyo City have been disrupted today, and two of his clerks have called to ask for leave, and after reprimanding themselves, they would rather resign than come to work.

As a store manager, I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I can't back down at this time. As long as Tokyo Station is still open, the store will be open, even if it is the only one left in the end, which is a promise to the brand. However, judging from the current situation, the rationing of ingredients will be greatly reduced tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it will be impossible to do so many kinds of bendang, and I believe that the guests will definitely be able to deal with this difficulty.

So when Lu Xihua, who stayed in the window outside the store and carefully looked at the various Bendang models for a while, finally stepped into the store.

The middle-aged store manager has a smiling face as bright as a daisy, and personally comes forward to receive him. If you can do a business, you will lose a little less if you sell one.

"Yonezawa Beef Deluxe Bendang", "Raw Tuna Flakes Seaweed Bowl", "Station Benya Super Bendang", "Festival Bendang".

When Lu Xihua announced the name of the product he liked, the store manager was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please allow me to take the liberty of asking, do the guests eat it themselves? These bendang portions are not small, although the guests look very energetic, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat them alone..."

"Could it be that I don't have any of these Bendang stores I ordered? Or have they been sold out? The Shinkansen I took to Osaka is about to depart, and it's really embarrassing for me to ask like this~" Lu Xihua did not answer the store manager directly, but asked another question.

The store manager's face suddenly became anxious, his hands were attached to his thighs, and he bowed respectfully to Lu Xihua, "Please forgive me for my faux pas." We have a spot on the bento that you ordered, so please wait a while and we will prepare it for you. ”

As soon as the store manager waved his hand, the clerk next to him immediately went to prepare. Instead, he bent down to guide Lu Xihua to the cash register on the side, "'Yonezawa Beef Deluxe Bendang' and 'Raw Tuna Fillet Seaweed Bowl' are only available at our restaurant five times a day, and the customers come just in time, if they come at ten o'clock, I am afraid that they will be sold out long ago." ”

Lu Xihua thought to himself, I stood outside your store for five or six minutes, and only one customer came in, so it's strange that I believe you. Although he slandered, he did not expose the store manager's boast to his face, but nodded and remained silent, looking like he agreed with the store manager's statement.

The store manager let out a long sigh of relief, not that he was lying, these two bento are indeed the treasures of the store, and they are generally impossible to buy without pre-ordering, and in order to ensure quality, each does only provide five copies per day.

It's just that today because of the special situation, there happened to be a few customers who called to refund the order, and there were exactly these two kinds of money in it, and now the young man was able to take over the purchase of two copies, and the store could be regarded as reducing some losses.

"Hello guests, the price of the 'Yonezawa Beef Deluxe Bendang' you just ordered is 10,800 yuan, the price of 'Raw Tuna Fillet Seaweed Rice Bowl' is 10,800 yuan, 'Station Benya Super Bendang' is 3,800 yuan, and the 'Festival Bendang' is 2,500 yuan, all of which are tax-included, so you will need to pay a total of 27,900 yuan. Will you use cash or credit card?" the store manager personally stood in front of the cash register and gave Lu Xihua a final explanation.

This price is not cheap, it can be said to be very expensive, and the price of ordinary Bendang is between 700 and 1000 yuan. There are a lot of Bento houses at this price, and their cost is also low, because the materials are extremely ordinary, which is the most common choice for the general public in Tokyo.

However, the four types of bendang ordered by the young people in front of me are the four most representative of the station, including Japan's most famous beef, seafood, and mountain delicacies, which are very distinctive among high-end bendang, so they are expensive, and the number of servings sold every day is really small.

There are many customers who are willing to spend 120,000 yuan on the long-distance Shinkansen, but there are not many customers who are willing to spend 20,000 or 30,000 yuan on a few bendang.

Just now, when Lu Xihua reported the names of the four bendang in one breath, the store manager was so surprised, the young man in front of him was not a gourmand but also a gourmet.

robbed the underworld elements who collected the rent, Lu Xihua naturally did not lack money for the time being, he only stayed in this world for a day or two, and it would be a waste if he didn't spend the Japanese currency on his body.

So when Lu Xihua paid the material money without changing his face, left with a thick stack of packed Bendang, and entered the platform, the store manager couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the young man just now faintly brought him some pressure, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart, is it the elite from these famous schools such as Tokyo University or Waseda University?

The class in Japan has been fixed for a long time, and you are the class of your circle of friends.

The ordinary civilian class lives a life from 9 to 5 in the morning, going to school, working, getting married, giving birth to children, and even the lower level can only be single, lonely and old, receiving welfare.

Children from wealthy families travel abroad since they were young, learn various talents, tutoring, enter first-class prestigious schools, and enter large consortia after graduation, with an annual salary of more than 10 million.

The elite class has become the dominant force in the mainstream society, they occupy the top of all walks of life, grasp the trend of Japanese social development, do real estate, collect, and invest, and are the darlings of society and the strong ones respected by everyone.

Further up there is the elite, who control Japan's resources and government, manipulate the country's foreign strategy, and draw nutrients from all over the world for this huge country.

Among civilians, there is only a 1 percent chance of being admitted to a prestigious school, laying the foundation for becoming a wealthy person in the future. If you want to become an elite, it is out of reach for the common people, and there is not one in a thousand people, because the tuition fee for the private school that you need to enter to the prestigious school is not something that the ordinary people can afford.

Famous private school tutoring is often aimed at the training of a certain famous school, and 20 classes are millions of yuan, where can ordinary people afford to read.

Take, for example, the two most high-ranking professions in Japan, doctors and lawyers. It takes six years to study medicine, and the tuition fee of the Faculty of Medicine of Kawasaki Medical University is as high as 45 million yuan for six years, and the cheap national university also costs 5 or 600,000 yuan a year, but this kind of school, each college only enrolls 2 or 30 people a year in the country, and if you are not a top student, the chance is really slim.

Tuition fees are so expensive, not to mention the rest of the living expenses, accommodation fees, book fees, admission fees, course selection fees, student union fees and social expenses.

The annual income of an ordinary family is only 3 or 4 million, and it is not easy for a child to go to school, let alone a family with two or three children.

As the manager of the station, he is just a part-time worker, and he follows the rules of the store, and the leftover Bendang and ingredients sold every day are destroyed and crushed, and it is absolutely not allowed to sell them privately to the clerk and take them out of the store.

Therefore, as the store manager, he can only try a few fresh ingredients in order to ensure the quality of the goods when making and placing them, so he is also very envious of the young man just now, which are all high-end ingredients.

The train ticket that Lu Xihua bought was the first Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka, Hikari.

The Hope was faster than the Hikari, but the train only departed after 10 a.m., so I had to retreat to the Hikari.

In order to avoid the hassle of the journey, Lu Xihua chose the reserved seat in the green car, which belongs to the highest-end seat of the Shinkansen, and the location is on the window side of the south, so that he can see the sea, he hopes to see some places in his memory, and reminisce about the few happy days in the orphanage in the trial life.

The train at seven o'clock was full, looking at the passengers who were talking to each other in a low voice and worried, Lu Xihua felt a little emotional, the fate of mortals cannot be controlled in their own hands, they can only worry about the unknown tomorrow.

"When I swallowed a pill in my stomach, I knew that my life was out of my mind. No wonder everyone in the world prefers the saying of immortals~" Sitting on the seat, Lu Xihua gently recited a sentence that his predecessors had said, and then opened the Bendang in front of him.

"Mom, are we going to grandma's house?" asked a little girl softly.

"Yes, you can stay at Grandma's house for a while more this time, and Mommy will be with you. Don't you like to see fireflies there? Mommy can go fishing with you. ”

"But I still have to go to school, Atom, Satomi, Sakura-chan, they're still waiting for me to tell them about last night's cartoon~"

"You can talk to them on the phone~ Dad has been asking for leave from school for you for a while, and the principal and teachers also support this move. The class you left behind was tutored by your mother at your grandmother's house, and your mother was also a top student at Ochanomizu Women's University, so you can't worry about your homework, right?"

"But why didn't Dad come? So we could go into the mountains as a family. ”

"Dad has to arrange the work of his subordinates, and come back in two days, when the time comes, we will go into the mountain to worship together, and I implore the Buddha to bless our whole family~ So you have to be obedient and obediently complete your homework in these two days, so that you can go into the mountain with the whole family. ”

"Hmm~" The little girl's voice paused for a moment, and then hesitated, "Mom, what is so fragrant? I didn't eat breakfast today, I'm so hungry now~"

Mom's face turned red instantly, and her husband and herself hurriedly got up to pack their things because of the great changes in the sky over Tokyo. In order to get out of this place as soon as possible, I didn't even have time to wait for the train, so I drove directly to the station, and fortunately I bought a ticket for my destination.

My husband was in a hurry to drive away because of work. One of her hearts didn't relax until she got on the Shinkansen, and her daughter's reminder at the moment reminded the woman that her husband, herself and daughter were so anxious for more than an hour that they didn't even drink a sip of water.

Fortunately, it only takes two and a half hours to get to Osaka, and it is not too late to take my daughter to eat a good meal when I get there.

However, who is eating, what is eating, why does it smell so good, it seems to be a very high-end dish~

The woman quietly poked her head forward, and saw that several passengers nearby also smelled the smell of food, and they all looked this way.

The woman retracted her head in embarrassment, only to notice that her daughter had stretched out her curious little head to look at the front seat, from where the alluring aroma was clearly coming from. (https:)
