Although he was a little angry after being provoked by Zhu Lin just now, after all, what Nagayama Kozo said was a serious matter, and it was directly linked to his own vested interests.
Anyway, Zhu Lin is here, and he won't be able to go back in the short term. He has plenty of time to spare, not less than a day and a half.
Moreover, there are many people here and it is not suitable for being gentle.
But Yoshinaga Sayuri's side is probably very difficult to deal with, and he was asked to go by name. If he didn't go, he would be obviously not giving face, and this would be a feud.
So after thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang decided to put public affairs before private affairs and settle Sayuri Yoshinaga first.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of Zhu Lin's room.
"Come in." Zhu Lin said tremblingly from inside, "The door is unlocked."
Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows, not sure whether Zhu Lin was really nervous or pretending to be nervous, but this vibrato was really amazing.
This feeling of resisting and welcoming, let alone, is really exciting.
It's a pity, now is not the time, otherwise, hehehe.
After pushing the door open and entering, Cao Zhiqiang found Zhu Lin sitting by the bed. She had taken off her coat and was only wearing an off-white cashmere sweater and a pair of navy blue long johns, which made her figure even more attractive.
It has to be said that at this time, Chinese people generally do not have the habit of wearing pajamas at home. They usually wear ordinary pants at home as they do outside. The last resort is to wear long johns at home.
Autumn pants are actually similar to the thermal pants of later generations. They are worn inside. Wearing other pants outside can play a very good role in keeping warm.
But foreigners, especially those in developed countries, generally don’t wear long johns. It’s not that they don’t know there is such a thing as long johns, and it’s not that they don’t even wear them. It’s just that generally speaking, they don’t need them.
Because in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, in winter, there are many heating equipment and strong heating capabilities, and people generally rarely go out. Once they go out, they usually use cars or take buses, and they don’t need long johns.
Then there is the cultural issue.
If nothing else, let’s just talk about Japan. Anyway, according to Cao Zhiqiang’s observation, young people here in Japan basically don’t wear long johns in winter. At most, they have thicker socks, thicker trousers, or add warm kneepads to their knees.
Young people, if you wear long johns, you will be laughed at.
This kind of atmosphere makes Japanese young people not wear long johns no matter how cold it is, and would rather go bare-legged.
But the elderly in Japan wear autumn clothes and long trousers, especially those who often go out.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang believes that whether to wear long johns or not mainly depends on economic conditions.
With good economic conditions, there are more heating methods, such as thickened pants, thickened socks, and there are many vehicles with heating facilities such as cars and buses. Naturally, you don’t have to worry about being too cold when going out, and there is no problem if you don’t wear long johns.
But if you have poor financial conditions and basically rely on your legs when going out, such as walking or riding a bicycle, then it is indeed necessary to wear long johns.
In fact, in the 21st century in China, especially after 2023, many young people no longer wear long johns in winter and wear thermal underwear instead.
Of course, the Japanese at that time also wore thermal underwear.
As for the Japanese today, they don’t wear thermal underwear or autumn clothes, but they wear sweaters underneath.
Well, it’s not quite accurate to say a sweater. It should be said to be a cashmere or cotton sweater that can directly contact the skin, also called a base layer sweater.
Bottoming shirts are actually similar to Chinese autumn clothes and long trousers. They have similar functions, but they are more high-end.
It's just that the Japanese basically only wear leggings in winter, but no leggings. No matter how cold it is, they won't wear them. They won't wear them even if their legs are shaking because of the cold. They only wear stockings at most. This is just like their culture. Tradition is related to social atmosphere.
In fact, in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, it's okay to wear autumn clothes in winter. The key is that autumn pants, that is, leggings, must be worn.
Because from a health perspective, when the weather is cold, the most important place to keep warm is the legs and feet. There are many ways to keep warm on the upper body, such as cotton-padded down jackets and the like.
But there is no way, Japan is like this.
Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't have the habit of doing as the Romans do when he goes to the countryside. When the weather gets cold, he wears long johns when he should.
There are also leggings similar to long johns here in Japan. They are generally made of pure cotton, but also cashmere, satin, and composite fiber. There are many types. Moreover, this kind of leggings can also be passed on, and most of them have pockets.
Many Japanese people buy leggings like this to wear at home. They rarely put on pants outside and then wear them out together.
Only Cao Zhiqiang wears Japanese long johns when going out.
But don't mention it, wearing long johns and then wearing jeans is really warm.
But there is one thing. After wearing long johns, they will look bloated, unsightly and not attractive enough.
Also, legs wearing long johns are not as good-looking and touchable as legs wearing stockings.
Zhu Lin's originally blushing face turned even redder as if she noticed that Cao Zhiqiang had been staring at her legs.
"Cao Zhiqiang, where are you looking?" Zhu Lin rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, who was so charming.
Only then did Cao Zhiqiang come back to his senses, took a deep breath, walked over with a smile and said, "I'm looking at your legs!"
Zhu Lin stared hard at Cao Zhiqiang and spat: "Bah, you don't learn well at a young age!"
Cao Zhiqiang walked over with a smile, sat next to Zhu Lin, and hugged the other person. The other person lay in Cao Zhiqiang's arms and began to exhale heavier.
Cao Zhiqiang put his arm around Zhu Lin's shoulders, touched her soft hair, took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good!"
Zhu Lin pinched Cao Zhiqiang's arm angrily, but did not do anything else. Instead, she hugged Cao Zhiqiang with her backhand.
Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said: "Sister Zhu, what else can I learn from you? And if I really learn it well, you should be disappointed."
"You still say that?" Zhu Lin angrily pinched Cao Zhiqiang again, "Slick tongue!"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Okay, let's be serious, I may not be able to be gentle with you now. There is something very important, and I must go there in person."
Zhu Lin was stunned, straightened up quickly, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? What happened? Is it serious?"
Cao Zhiqiang thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's hard to say whether it's serious or not."
"If you can't tell me, forget it." Zhu Lin shook her head, "I won't ask anymore."
Cao Zhiqiang said quickly: "No, it's just that I wrote the script of a Japanese drama here, which is currently being filmed, and there is an actress here who is a big name. She... By the way, have you heard of Yoshinaga Sayuri?"
"Sayuri Yoshinaga?" Zhu Lin was stunned, "You mean, the Taki Makimura in "The Straits"?"
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned and thought for a long time before he realized who this so-called Tae Makimura was.
Tae Makimura is the heroine in the Japanese movie "The Straits", played by Sayuri Yoshinaga.
This film, mainly based on the opening of the Seikan Tunnel in Japan, stars Takakura Ken, Yoshinaga Sayuri and Miura Tomokazu. It was released in 1982, but was introduced to domestic broadcasts in 1983 and was translated by Shanghai Translation Studio.
After this movie was introduced into the country, the response was average, far inferior to Ken Takakura's other movie "The Hunt", but it made most Chinese people get to know the Japanese star Sayuri Yoshinaga for the first time.
Sayuri Yoshinaga's appearance in it has captured a large number of young domestic audiences, and as a movie actress, Zhu Lin is naturally no stranger to this.
Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang and Hao Shuwen went to see the movie "The Straits" that was introduced into the country, but he didn't pay much attention to the plot at the time and just touched it in private.
But no matter what, I probably still know that Sayuri Yoshinaga stars in it, and it seems that the character she plays is named Makimura Tae.
"Yes, that's the actress." Cao Zhiqiang nodded decisively, thinking clearly.
"Ah, that's a big star in Japan, right?" Zhu Lin said, "Can I play a role in your play?"
"Well." Cao Zhiqiang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm quite famous here, and I have a bit of face. As for the specific situation, I'll find a chance to tell you in detail later, but now I really have to go, they have all made appointments, If I don’t go, I won’t give you face, and the consequences will be serious.”
"Then go quickly." Zhu Lin said quickly, "Big things are important, such as the love between children and so on. The future is long, so there is no rush."
Cao Zhiqiang then smiled slightly and touched Zhu Lin's nose with his finger, "Why, you were so anxious just now, and now you are pushing me away? You changed your face so quickly?"
Zhu Lin rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is in a hurry? I, I... Anyway, business is important. You go to the board and do business first."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and stopped teasing Zhu Lin. He stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go socialize first. You can take care of it yourself. If you have anything to do, just ask Xu Chun to do it. She is quite careful in handling things." of."
"Okay." Zhu Lin nodded, and then said suspiciously, "But I forgot to ask you, you and that Xu Chun really have nothing to do with each other, right?"
Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Xu Chun is one of my secretaries. This is the only relationship we have, nothing else."
After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang added angrily: "No, do you really think I am a hungry person? Don't worry, I have a very picky appetite, and most women don't like it.
Xu Chun is good, but unfortunately her figure and appearance don't meet my taste, so don't worry, we'll be fine, she is my employee, you can just use her without worry. "
Zhu Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Well, I don't want to interfere with you. I just feel that Xu Chun is not a simple person. If you can, it's better not to provoke him."
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, touched Zhu Lin's face again and said, "Don't worry, I have no shame. If I have anything to do with others, at least in front of you, I will definitely admit it and will not lie.
So, Xu Chun and I really have nothing to do with each other, so just be at ease. "
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand: "Okay, I'll leave first. If you have anything to do, come to Xu Chun. I'll come to you after I finish the work. That's it."
After bidding farewell to Zhu Lin, Cao Zhiqiang took a taxi and went to the Japanese food shop Yongshan Kozo mentioned.
After arriving at the entrance of the Japanese food store, I found that the appearance of the place was antique, but the area was quite large. At first glance, it looked like a high-end Japanese food store.
In fact, Japanese food stores are also divided into levels.
Generally, Japanese food shops are at the level of roadside stalls in Japan. They mainly serve food such as ramen and fried foods, and the prices are not expensive.
Only in this kind of high-end Japanese food store can you find all kinds of high-end sashimi.
For example, tuna sashimi, which is most highly regarded by Japanese people, is generally only available in Japanese restaurants or big hotels. The main reason is that the price is too expensive.
In fact, the price of seafood sashimi in Japan at this time is not cheap at all. Compared with the price of domestic sashimi in 2023, it will be higher. This is of course related to prices.
Mainly Japanese aquatic products are mostly exported. For example, China later became the largest importer of Japanese aquatic products, accounting for more than 40% of Japanese aquatic product exports for a long time.
It's a pity that everything has changed since Xiao Benzi braved the world's disapproval and poured nuclear sewage into the sea water to disgust people. Japan's aquatic products are no longer imported into the country, causing the price of their aquatic products to plummet.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
But now, apart from being expensive, Japan's aquatic products really don't have much problems, at least they are much better than Japan's fruits, vegetables and other agricultural products.
Because Japan’s vegetables, fruits, rice and other agricultural products are basically soaked in pesticides, but Japan’s aquatic products are basically obtained from deep-sea fishing, with aquaculture accounting for only a small part.
Large-scale seafood farming is now the strongest in Nordic countries such as Norway, but in the future it will become the only one in China.
Therefore, if we really want to talk about the damage to marine life, it has to be Japan. Regardless of the number of people in China, compared with ocean fishing, at least for now, it is far inferior to Japan. Even by 2023, purely in terms of ocean fishing The quantity is also not as good as Japan.
Not to mention the future, even now, Japan's ocean fishing volume ranks first in the world.
The reason why Japanese seafood is so expensive is because it is not farmed.
Of course, this kind of seafood caught in the ocean tastes better than farmed seafood. There is no doubt about it.
Therefore, the seafood sashimi in Japan's high-end restaurants, at least during this period, is absolutely delicious.
Otherwise, the people of the world are not idiots.
Why is Japanese food so popular in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, becoming a representative of high-end food, but not Chinese food?
It’s not that the ingredients of Chinese food are not good, nor is the cooking method bad, but the eating habits are different, and the sashimi is not as fancy as Japanese food.
It is wise to use the simplest cooking techniques for high-end ingredients.
Japanese sashimi is actually eaten raw, and then all kinds of fancy things are added to the raw food, which makes it look particularly high-end.
As for Chinese food, it has already passed the stage of raw food, and is generally not eaten raw. Even if it is eaten raw, it is mainly pickled, such as the raw pickled food of the Chaoshan generation.
However, Japanese food pays attention to keeping pace with the times. Before eating it raw, in order to eliminate parasites and bacteria to the greatest extent, it will be frozen at minus 70 degrees for fifteen hours before being thawed and served.
In this way, the safety of Japanese food is greatly improved, and after such a process, the taste is also better.
On the contrary, domestic raw pickling basically does not follow this process, which also leads to an extremely high incidence of parasitic diseases.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not that the Japanese food is so high-end, but that Japan entered developed countries earlier, was exposed to scientific diet earlier, and introduced scientific diet into Japanese food early, that’s all.
In fact, after China became rich, some raw Chinese food also needed to be frozen at minus 70 degrees Celsius for fifteen hours before being used. It was just that the Japanese ingredients were allowed to go ahead and the Chinese food was cooked. Eating it raw is also called sashimi.
This is the advantage of taking the first step. The principle is the same as that of Western medicine.
Strictly speaking, Western medicine should be called modern medicine. It was only Western countries that entered modern medicine first, which led to the latecomers from the East to call modern medicine Western medicine.
In fact, later Chinese medicine also introduced modern medicine, which also had very good curative effects. Unfortunately, this was also learned from Japan.
For example, here in Japan, there are currently a large number of traditional Chinese medicine, called Kampo medicine, which also introduces modern medicine and has good curative effects.
The only thing worthy of praise is that Japanese adults imported their Kampo medicine from China and improved it without denying that it originated from China.
Unlike South Korea, which is shameless and shameless. It is obvious that Chinese medicine is introduced, but it insists on calling it Korean medicine, and insists on saying that Chinese medicine stole Korean medicine. It is really speechless.
Of course, South Korea is still in the era of the military government, and you still have to show your face, but there is no such limit.
If it really reaches the so-called Sixth Republic period and becomes a democratically elected government, then there will really be no lower limit.
Therefore, democracy may not necessarily be a good thing. The key depends on the core.
Any government that has too much freedom will be in trouble, such as the Kimchi State during the Sixth Republic and the Curry State after independence.
Nothing in the world is perfect, what is suitable is the best.
In comparison, Cao Zhiqiang still feels that his motherland is better.
Although generally speaking, the system in your home country may not be the best, but it is definitely the most suitable for the current national conditions.
When I think about it, I feel quite proud. (End of chapter)
