Chapter 65, Buying Fish
"Hey, yes, such a top-notch ingredient is definitely a treasure of nature. The old Japanese man said.
After praising the ingredients, the old Japanese man said, "Such a top-notch ingredient must be handled by a top-notch chef." I don't know if the master can show us a superb art. ”
Yes, it's art. It's not that his Chinese words are wrong, but in Japan, fugu represents more than just food, but has risen to the level of art.
"Kaedeko, show them what you can do and let them see what you're capable of. "Of course Lin Erbo will not let go of such a brilliant thing.
He hadn't even thought about it, Lin Feng couldn't be a chef here, what would he do after Lin Feng quit?
Soon, a small table was cleaned up, with a board and knives placed on it, and was carried into the chrysanthemum room by the others.
The Japanese didn't make a sound, they just watched Lin Feng's movements.
But they didn't see anything, only to see a flash of the knife, the flesh and bones were separated, pieces of puffer fish meat, evenly thick, scattered on the plate that had been prepared for a long time, like pieces of elves falling from the sky, with their own beauty, a crystalline.
Lin Feng's display of sword skills suffocated all the Japanese. Art, they see art.
Lin Feng said while serving them the prepared puffer fish naked: "Roll the shallots in the puffer fish sashimi, dip some radish puree and the ingredients made of lime orange vinegar and eat it together." The shallots have a unique flavor and a crisp sound when chewing, which goes well with the tough puffer fish meat. ”
"Ahh
When Lin Feng said this, the old man in Japan was shocked.
"Master Lin also knows about Duo Gu An?" he asked.
"Yes. Lin Feng said, "Duoguan's puffer fish set is very famous. Just order one or two dishes, and it's hard to appreciate the full charm of fugu cuisine.
There should usually be an appetizer, usually served with puffer fish skin or meat from the face of the pufferfish. Dokoan usually uses puffer fish skin seasoned with lime vinegar and a small raw egg added to it.
Drinkers can order another glass of puffer fish and fin wine to accompany it. The proprietress grills the fins to bring out the flavor of the puffer fish, and then puts it in a wine glass, where the aroma of the sake blends with the flavor of the puffer fish, making it a great drink in the cold season. ”
"Yes, yes, is the master learning the Tao in Duoguan? The old Japanese man exclaimed.
The old man in Japan was obviously surprised, and the surprise could only be explained by "Tao".
Lin Feng smiled and didn't answer, he didn't learn the "Tao" in some ancient an.
It's just that the food culture of the East is not only "eating", but also has culture in it, such as the attachment to "home".
Japan and China share the same culture, so when they mistakenly thought that Lin Feng's craftsmanship was from their hometown, the puffer fish on the table was no longer a simple pufferfish. It's a cultural sublimation.
If you ask what is the most delicious food in the world, it is definitely the best food with the taste of hometown, especially the dishes in the hands of parents and grandfathers, which are the most unforgettable food of traditional Chinese people.
The Chinese people know this very well, so they will take root in other countries and make food that meets their taste.
Japan is an island nation, and until the Meiji Restoration, it had been living a relatively closed and peaceful life. They are introverted and do not easily blend in with the ethnic groups of other regions. And because they are neighbors with China's glorious culture, it leads to their inferiority complex. However, in the process of modernization, Japan has surpassed many other countries that were previously more advanced than itself, and at this time, its inferiority complex has been transformed into a conceited mentality.
The Japanese take great pride in their unique culinary skills. If you know how to appreciate and taste Japanese food, you will often win the respect of Japanese people.
Lin Feng's performance invisibly sublimated the deliciousness of this puffer fish. All five Japanese people had a great time eating it, and they didn't realize it was a frozen pufferfish at all.
Screaming deliciously, the old Japanese man even stretched out an olive branch to Lin Feng and said, "Master Lin is not interested in coming to Japan to develop, with Master Lin's skills, Japan is where you can come in." ”
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
What a joke, when he knew that there were monks in this world, especially after he succeeded in becoming a monk, everything had changed.
He still needs money, but he won't force himself for money.
Lin Erbo said unhappily: "Sir, this is my chef." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I like Master Lin's branching so much. I'm sorry, please forgive me!" the old man in Japan stood up and bowed to apologize to Lin Erbo.
Some people say that this is a sign of Japanese politeness.
But, really?
Japanese people have a strong sense of community and enjoy group activities. Whether it is in a business, a social group, or a family, you can often see them holding a variety of colorful and varied activities. For example, New Year's party, year-end party, cultural and sports activities, outings, etc. Regardless of the event, Japanese people actively participate in it, and they often bring their families with them.
Therefore, when they eat, their etiquette is even more refined.
Dining in a restaurant, but digging directly into the corner of the wall because of the delicious cooking of the other party's chef is no longer a simple loss of etiquette, but contempt.
At such a time, he bowed and apologized again, not at all like an apology, but forcing forgiveness. As a result, it is difficult for the Japanese to interact with other countries.
"Mr. Shibata, you are so polite, you invited him because you looked up to him. ”
Before Lin Erbo could speak, a young man sitting under the head of the old man in Japan said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Erbo frowned.
"Oh, I'm from the Merchants Reception Office, and my Japanese friends are complimenting you on your chef's skills. The young man said in high spirits.
As soon as his identity was revealed, Lin Feng knew that among the five people who were emotional, not all of them were Japanese, and they were accompanied by a national official ape.
At this time, the old Japanese man said, "Boss, where did you get this puffer fish? I have eaten puffer fish from various origins, but this is the only one that I have never eaten." ”
Lin Erbo said: "This is ......"
Lin Feng took it directly and said, "This is our purchase channel. ”
"Oh, you misunderstood. I am an importer and exporter and I wondered if I could import these puffer fish into my country. As he spoke, the old Japanese man handed over his business card.
It was the young man from the investment reception office again, and I saw that after bowing slightly, he took the business card with both hands, put it in front of his eyes and studied it, and then said, "Mr. Shibata is too polite." We people here don't know much about etiquette. ”
He bowed again, and then handed the business card to Lin Erbo.
Lin Erbo took the business card, which was written in Chinese characters on one side, and the names of "Kawaguchi Import and Export Co., Ltd." and "Shibata Male Director" were written on it.
"Wait a minute, let's talk about it first. Seeing that the other party really intended to buy fish, Lin Erbo was moved.
