Before Liu Bo Shang entered the kitchen, Nakiri Senzaemon had already brought Nakiri Erina to find Liu Bo.
"Mr. Liu, long-awaited greetings!"
Nakiri Senzaemon is an old man in his sixties, but he can only consider himself a junior in front of Uncle Liu. He took Erina Nakiri and bowed heavily to Uncle Liu to show respect.
"Mr. Nakiri, there is no need to be polite. I am just an old man visiting here and I cannot afford your great gift."
Uncle Liu said politely.
After Nakiri Senzaemon saluted, he explained his purpose to Uncle Liu: "Mr. Liu, I heard that you want to use the kitchen. Can I ask if there is any special purpose?"
Uncle Liu borrowed someone's kitchen. It was normal for the owner to ask, so he could only answer truthfully: "I have a cooking skill that I want to teach Xiao Kai. My own kitchen is simple and I can't use it, so please lend me the kitchen. I'm here." Thanks in advance!”
"What kind of cooking skills are you asking?" Nakiri Senzuo's doorman asked hurriedly. After asking, he realized that he was a little rude and hurriedly bowed to Uncle Liu to apologize, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. If you If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to answer.”
Liu Bo is also a man who takes soft things rather than hard ones. As Nakiri Senzaemon is a leader in Japanese cuisine, when faced with a powerless old man who can be so polite and considerate, Liu Boruo still guards against him and thieves. Likewise, Uncle Liu couldn't pass his own test, so he said frankly: "There's nothing I can't say. It's the eighteenth version of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate. I wonder if you've heard of it?"
"Fish leaps over the dragon gate eighteen times?" After hearing this answer, the left gatekeeper of Nakiri Sen couldn't help but his voice was much louder, with a bit of vibrato.
This is a magical skill in the field of Chinese raw materials. Uncle Liu actually knows it, and he wants to teach it to Yan Kai?
Nakiri Senzaemon knew that the Eighteen Turns of Fish Leaping Dragon Gate was powerful, but Nakiri Erina did not know this. She looked at Nakiri Senzaemon curiously, hoping that her grandfather could do it for her. Give an explanation.
Naturally, Nakiri Senzaemon had to take care of Nakiri Erina's curiosity. After regaining his composure, he said to Liu Bo: "I just received the obituary of Mr. Dai Nanfeng of Babaolou this morning. I have just lost a superstar in the culinary world, and also An unprecedented unique skill has been lost. I never expected that Mr. Liu also mastered this unique skill. This is really a great blessing for cooks all over the world!"
Otherwise, I would say that he is the leader in the Japanese cuisine industry, and his words are nice to hear.
"It is said that the Eighteen-turn Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate of the Dai family in Babaolou was created by Dai Dongguan, the imperial chef during the Qianlong period of the Central Plains. Dai Dongguan was also the founder of Babaolou. The Eighteen-turn Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate It has the infinite secret of turning decay into magic. Even in the Dai family, there may not be anyone in every generation who can practice this unique skill. After Mr. Dai passed away, no one in the Babaolou can master this unique skill. Mr. Liu To actually know this unique skill, it’s really… really makes this junior extremely lucky!”
As he talked, Nakiri Senzaemon squeezed out a few tears, as if he was really happy that the eighteenth version of "Flying the Dragon Gate" was not lost.
Now it was Uncle Liu's turn to be embarrassed. He didn't believe that a Japanese would be so moved by the fact that a cooking skill from the Central Plains had not been lost. However, he couldn't openly say that they were acting, as it would be too inhumane. .
As long as Nakiri Senzaemon is not embarrassed when he cries, then his true feelings are revealed, and the one who is embarrassed will be Uncle Liu.
grandfather……
Of course, Erina Nakiri also knew that it was impossible for Nakiri Senzaemon to shed tears because he was really happy that the Eighteenth Edition of Fish Leaping to the Dragon Gate was not lost. However, as a granddaughter, it was even more impossible for her to expose her grandfather, so she could only accompany Uncle Liu in embarrassment. , face turned red to the ears.
Fortunately there was no one else here, otherwise she would have thought about finding a crack to get in now.
"This junior has heard about the reputation of the Dai family's fish leaping over the dragon's gate eighteen times many years ago, but it has always been a one-sided affair. Now that Mr. Liu wants to teach the juniors, I wonder if I can let the juniors also take a look?"
Nakiri Senzaemon wiped his tears, but his eyes were still filled with tears, and he spoke very sincerely.
It is obviously not possible to make Totsuki Commander-in-Chief Nakiri Senzaemon transform into the Shadow Emperor without sufficient benefits, and this benefit is exactly the unique skill of the Central Plains cooking world - the eighteenth flip of the fish leaping over the dragon gate.
Nakiri Senzaemon has been thinking about those magical cooking skills in Nakahara not just for a day or two, but since he was a child. However, the Nakahara cooking community guards their own cooking skills very closely, unless there is really a killer. The prodigal and unfilial son of Sento, his cooking skills will definitely not be leaked out even if he carries them into the coffin. Therefore, Nakiri Senzaemon has only collected a few second- and third-rate cooking skills in more than 40 years. He can be called a There is no first-class skill, let alone a magical skill like leaping over the dragon gate eighteen times.
It is precisely because Nakiri Senzaemon has always coveted the cooking skills of the Central Plains cooking world that he knows so much about the dynamics of the Central Plains cooking world. He even knew the news of Dai Nanfeng's death at the first time.
As for the news of Dai Nanfeng's death, Nakiri Senzaemon was indeed extremely regretful, so the tears he squeezed out could not be said to have any true feelings.
"..." Uncle Liu was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay!"
It is only for seeing, without super vision or super hearing. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to learn the Eighteen Turns of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, otherwise the Dai family would not have lost its unique skill.
You know, when Dai Dongguan, the founder of Babaolou, invented this unique skill, he often performed it in public. Even Dai Nanfeng himself used it as a show-off skill to attract diners when he was young. , but after Dai Nanfeng retired, no one performed this stunt anymore, which made this stunt gradually become a legend.
"Mr. Liu, my granddaughter..."
Nakiri Senzaemon is fascinated by stunts such as the eighteenth flip of the fish leaping over the dragon gate, but if he is the only one to watch it, it doesn't make much sense. Nakiri Erina can even see it and even get a share of the dishes. Consider it a success.
"Can."
"The courses have been very hard recently. The guest lecturers have done a lot. They are all star chefs in the cooking industry. I have worked for them for so many days but there is no suitable reward. I feel uneasy..."
"...Let them come too."
"I think young people should see more of the world. I know some students with great potential..."
"You might as well invite everyone in the resort to watch!"
At this time, Uncle Liu couldn't stand Nakiri Senzaemon's behavior of hitting the snake with a stick.
"Hahaha, there's no need for that. I'll just pick some motivated students. If there are too many people, it will be noisy. We can't embarrass you, Mr. Liu!"
Nakiri Senzaemon seemed to have made a huge concession.
The Totsuki Group's business scope is not as good as that of the chaebol, but its size is no worse than those of the chaebols that dominate Japan's political and economic circles. It can even be said that the Totsuki Group is an important member of Japan's ruling class. Nakiri Senzaemon is such a As a big group leader, he rarely has to worry about pleasing anyone, so he can usually express his true feelings, but when it comes to acting, his acting skills are equally excellent.
After all, this is Japan, who doesn’t kneel down to get the upper hand? How to be a human being without pretending to be a grandson? This is the true knowledge learned by the entire Japanese nation.
Looking at Nakiri Senzaemon who started laughing cheerfully without wiping the tears from his eyes, Uncle Liu shook his head secretly.
It had not been a year or two since he had been dealing with Nakiri Senzaemon, and he knew the commander-in-chief Totsuki very well.
Perhaps, as a group ruler, he was competent, but as an educator, Nakiri Senzaemon was a failure in Uncle Liu's opinion.
Totsuki has nearly a thousand students, but in Nakiri Senzaemon's mind, he was divided into three, six, and nine grades.
The top ten are the first class, the students who are expected to become the top ten are the first class, the students who are expected to graduate are the first class, the other students can all be counted as the first class, and this last class is seen in Nakiri Senzaemon Lai can't even be counted as Totsuki's student.
If Nakiri Senzaemon really let all the students come to watch Uncle Liu perform the Eighteen Turns of Fish Leaping Dragon Gate, then Uncle Liu could still take a good look at Nakiri Senzaemon, but Nakiri Senzaemon didn't, maybe in In his opinion, those students who are destined to fail to graduate are of no use even if they appreciate such magical skills, so they should just stop wasting their time. This would be good for everyone.
The idea that 99% of discarded stone is carved into 1% of jade is acceptable to Japan, but Uncle Liu, who grew up with traditional Central Plains ideological education, cannot accept it at all.
Teaching without distinction, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, this is what Uncle Liu thinks schools should do, but look at what Totsuki Academy is doing? Shatter the dreams of each student, let them be devoured as food for a few of the best students, spit out the dregs after eating, mark them as "failures" and throw them back into society, leaving them to bear this burden for the rest of their lives. Regret and spend the rest of your life in regret.
The number of students enrolled in Yuanyue every year ranges from seven to eight hundred to thousands, and among them, only one in a hundred can graduate, basically only the top ten and a few followers of the top ten.
This extremely pitiful graduation rate did not cause this school to close down. I can only say that this school is really rich.
But those who can survive and stand out in this harsh and cruel educational environment are indeed extremely talented people. But let Uncle Liu tell it, such people can stand out anywhere. He can't feel Yuanyue's existence. necessity.
Oh, you can’t say that. After all, Yuanyue graduates are a very useful sign. Once there are Yuanyue graduates, even if they are just civilians, there will still be countless angel investors coming to your door automatically, dragging a lot of money. Provide low-interest subsidies to those Yuanyue graduates.
And Yuanyue graduates can also be automatically connected to the Yuanyue Group's network. In the future, no matter which famous restaurant they want to work as a chef or start their own business, they will have the green light to go smoothly.
However, these are only the benefits for those single-digit Yuanyue graduates. What Uncle Liu saw were more of the poor children who left school in despair after being expelled.
Tadokoro Hui is also one of them.
When a school recruits students, it has the obligation to train them to be successful. If the students fail to pass the test, they will be discarded. Is this really okay?
Therefore, Uncle Liu disliked Yuanyue's education policy very much.
Of course, Uncle Liu did not choose Yueyue graduates as his close disciples but chose Tian Suohui. This was not because he was angry with Yuanyue. He had deeper considerations in choosing his disciples. He chose Tian Suohui just because he felt that only Tian Suohui could inherit His cooking skills include those that Uncle Liu was unwilling to touch as recorded in Ni Qiankun.
"Okay, you can decide these things yourself." Uncle Liu said with a lack of interest.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Nakiri Senzaemon bowed and thanked him.
"Mr. Liu, may I ask, where is Yan Sang?" Nakiri Erina asked. After asking, she blushed and added quibly, "I'm just curious why Yan Sang is not around. After all, he has to learn to jump. He was the one who turned over in Longmen, wasn't he?"
"Xiao Kai went to catch fish." Uncle Liu replied.
"Catching fish?" Nakiri Erina asked in confusion, "Although our Totsuki Resort dare not say that we have all the ingredients, the fish ingredients are still very complete. Are there any fish that need to be caught fresh?"
"It's a carp!"
"Carp..." Upon hearing that it was carp, Erina Nakiri felt a hint of repulsion on her face.
Japanese people like to eat fish, and it can even be said that they do not like any fish, but these are mainly sea fish. The Japanese sea fish resources are extremely rich surrounded by the sea, and sea fish tastes better than river fish and has no earthy smell, so there are very few Japanese people. Nakiri Erina was like this when it came to eating river fish. When she heard it was carp, she felt repulsed.
And she also understands why there is no food reserve in the resort, because the people who come to Yuanyue Resort are all Japanese upper class people, and they don't eat river fish, so why would they specifically reserve carp?
"Erina, don't underestimate the carp!" Nakiri Senzaemon said to Nakiri Erina.
To be more precise, one cannot underestimate the top chefs in Central China.
Japan has never lacked marine fish due to its unique geographical advantages, while most areas in the Central Plains are not close to the sea, especially the hinterland. In ancient times, marine fish were rarely seen at all. Most of the fish they ate were river fish, so the Central Plains’ The chefs have extremely rich experience in how to prepare river fish. The river fish they cook using special techniques is no worse than sea fish.
"Yes, Grandpa!" Nakiri Erina said seriously, and then bowed to Uncle Liu to apologize.
Having been trained as an heir since she was a child, she knows better than anyone else when she can be arrogant and when she should be modest.
She usually behaves like a queen because she rarely faces people she needs to look up to, but Uncle Liu is definitely a top cook who she needs to look up to. Her previous behavior was considered rude and she should apologize.
"In fact, any fish can be used for the eighteen-fold version of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, but since it is the eighteen-fold version of the Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, I chose carp. After all, the carp leaps over the Dragon Gate!"
Uncle Liu didn't think there was anything to apologize for, but explained why he used carp.
"Any fish can be used, is this impossible?" Nakiri Erina asked doubtfully.
If different ingredients are cooked with the same technique, the taste will be different. Even if they are the same fish, the meat of some fish will be firmer, while the meat of some fish will be softer, and some will have more spines and some less. Bones, or even the same fish, have different parts, different muscle textures, and sometimes require different cooking techniques. How can they be confused?
If the person speaking was not Uncle Liu, Nakiri Erina would have started scolding this person who has no cooking knowledge.
"Little girl Nakiri, just wait and see!"
Liu Bo confident said.
