At an altitude of hundreds of meters, David pressed his face against the window of the float vehicle, looking at the unprecedented scenery outside the window with curious eyes.
Thanks to the crystal ball imaging technology inside and outside the car, which is similar to the environmental reflector of the world of stars, the towering skyscrapers, colorful holographic projections, and the traffic on the streets can all be seen clearly before his eyes.
Although the Night City tonight is no different from before, the feeling of sitting on a floating car and looking down at everything is obviously much better than smelling the dirty and turbid air on the ground. It was obviously the same scene, but looking at it from a different perspective, David felt that Night City was so strange for the first time, so strange that he almost didn't dare to recognize it.
"Refield's "Holy Sword" is such a big deal. "
Compared to David, who had never seen the world, Lucy was half-lying on the soft leather seat, holding her chin with one hand, and gently shaking the crystal-polished champagne glass with the other hand, looking very calm.
But beneath the calm surface, Lucy no longer had any doubts about Mr. Star's ability to come up with the mission reward of eight million euros.
After all, the Holy Sword Floating Car is a masterpiece handed down from time to time by the well-known luxury car manufacturer Renfield. Together with the other two supercars named "The Sword in the Stone" and "The Sword of the Lake Lady", it is also known as Renfield's Three Swords. A travel tool that countless people dream of.
For the upper class who spend all their time showing off their financial resources, Rayfield is synonymous with wealth. As the three sisters with pure British blood flowing in their bodies, each of the three swords has super performance that is comparable to professional racing cars, and at the same time, the interior is as comfortable and luxurious as a penthouse suite in a seven-star hotel.
In contrast, even the Sword in the Stone, which is the most expensive among the eight swords, requires nearly 700,000 euros to buy, let alone the Sword of the Lake Man and the Holy Sword Floater, which are even lower positioned.
According to the calculations of the relevant departments in Night City, if a special citizen has a whim one day and plans to buy a Lake Man's Sword for transportation, I will probably need to work for two thousand years to pay off the purchase price. The limited sale of the Holy Sword Floating Vehicle is even more exaggerated. An abnormal person would need to work and eat for about seven thousand years to be able to have a happy relationship.
Taking out a sharp kitchen knife from under the knife holder at hand, Oquan wiped the water droplets under the blade and introduced it himself.
[In view of the general environment,
"Yes, what Ms. Ogawa said is true. The ice of the mashed radish warms the mouth, and the feeling of the fish roe exploding outside the mouth is equally amazing. It is really a rare delicacy."
"Haha, Sister Qiwei has a bad question." Leiffel pondered for a moment before replying: "You are indeed the CEO of a company, but which company it is, you can still tell them now. Maybe you can wait until you bring the seeds. In triumph, you will reveal the answer to that question."
Using a kitchen knife to cut a piece of fish as big as the palm of your hand from the smaller piece of meat, Oizumi said loudly: "This is the 'middle belly'. It is mainly distributed on the belly and back of the tuna. It has moderate fat content and a tender taste. It is both It is sweet and tender without fat, and you can taste the slight acidity of the fish. It is a rare ingredient. "
And it is worth noting that the origin of the tuna is not the ocean in the cyberpunk world, but was purchased by Sorrento at a low price from a fishing company in the Lord of War world and delivered to the hands of Miyoko Oizumi in time.
Originally, you thought you could reveal a corner of Mr. Star's mystery, but you didn't expect that all the clues would be broken by Rafiel.
As a young chef in the culinary world, Oizumi originally wanted to accept the invitation of a mysterious employer and later went to Night City to cook for a few vulgar borderline walkers. But when the bluefin tuna, which was eight meters long and weighed 700 kilograms, was thrown in front of me by the syndicate agent, I shed a tear from the corner of my eye, and I immediately boarded the boat and headed towards the night. city float.
Xiao Wei, who has a complex mind, naturally guessed that the two were playing riddles, but who among the people here was a person who had climbed down from the bottom. Especially for Yundan, who is the leader of the team, I feel sorry for Haaland.
Listening to Qi Chenfeng's unintended remarks, Leiffel waved his hand happily, looked at the other party's dark white eyes and said hastily: "Xiaochuan
What the eldest sister said is wrong. The reason why human beings can become the masters of the earth is only after tens of millions of years of degradation. It can only be said that it is not the beast's fault that he was born as a beast. Some people are not lucky enough to be human beings. "
Next to Miyoko Oizumi, Ogawa Qi Chenfeng showed the four people the ingredients used in the dishes while introducing the origins and characteristics of the ingredients in detail.
And because Hachiro's personal ability and prestige are so unbelievably important to the company's business, many people in the industry believe that once Hachiro passes away, a civil war will inevitably break out within the Arasaka company's board of directors for power and profit, which indirectly leads to the giant Arasaka company. The decline of Youba.
Oizumi started tasting the appetizers, and was about to finish making sashimi. Oizumi's eyes narrowed, and he carefully took out the most expensive ingredient on the table tonight from the high-temperature freezer in front of him - a strip of sashimi that was divided into several parts. Little Western bluefin tuna.
Ogawa Qi Chenfeng, who has little research on biology, suddenly said: "Bluefin tuna is a pelagic fish. In summer, fish schools will seasonally migrate to Japan and the northern areas of the Pacific coast of North America. Adult fish even more You can't cross the Little Western Ocean and be at the top of the ocean food chain eighty days away."
"First, the famous radish puree mixed with red caviar. The radish puree is made from beaten roots of natural white radish, with an appropriate amount of soy sauce and vinegar, seaweed powder and mirin. The red caviar, also known as seaweed roe, is made from Icelandic The willow roe and Canadian herring are carefully cooked with Japanese seasonings. The texture is elastic and greasy, making it very suitable for making appetizers. "
Due to the common eating habits of edge walkers, Qi Chen and others have relatively strong tastes, so except for Lucy and Qi Wei, who chose sushi mixed with jellyfish, everyone else got one that had been pickled overnight and was almost transparent. of egg yolk.
"Because you know what everyone eats on a daily basis, you specially invited Mr. Kaede Oizumi, a famous Japanese chef from Tokyo. In addition, considering the nutritional and taste issues of synthetic food, all the dishes used tonight Purely natural fresh vegetables and meat, I hope it will suit your taste."
In such a good small environment, even Daquan has never handled rare ingredients like bluefin tuna under its own eucalyptus board. Now that Sorrento has given me that opportunity, I will naturally no longer care about my identity as a diner. Instead, I can only express my inner gratitude to my mysterious employer by not going all out.
Sensing the irony in Reiffel's tone and realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Harland quickly bowed deeply to everyone under the table as an apology for his rudeness.
Not until they drank a bowl of fresh-tasting Ruozhu juice did everyone realize that what Harland said was true. As the bowl of low soup lingered in the mouth for a short time, the aftertaste left by eating the pickled dishes disappeared much.
Before she finished her sentence, Lucy smiled at Oizumi who was at a loss at the table and said, "Please order another dish, Master Oizumi." Reiffel, who got some answers from everyone, asked Oizumi Miyoko nodded and signaled the other party to finish making the dishes.
Two more generous pieces of Koizumi were served. At this time, everyone was not completely immersed in the ocean of delicious food and could not extricate themselves.
"Are you all hungry? Master Daquan is no longer busy."
"The Executive Pavilion has not been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
"Next is a bowl of Wakatake juice. The raw materials are low-vegetarian soup stewed with young bamboo shoots and wakame. It is supplemented with a lot of miso. It does not have the effect of warming up the body and waking up the stomach. It cannot help you wash away the aftertaste of the appetizer in your mouth, so as not to It affects the subsequent tasting.”
Due to the increasing pollution of the oceans, and during the Seventh Corporate War, small companies launched manned combat submarines into the global seas that were previously controlled by well-intentioned artificial intelligence. The fishery in the cyberpunk world has not yet reached the point of collapse.
But that's just people's conjecture. Although Arasaka Hachiro is no longer nearly 170 years old this year, thanks to the advanced life support technology of Arasaka Company, it is said that Hachiro's body functions are still as good as those of a forty-year-old. level, it will not affect my ability to continue to handle company affairs and fulfill my responsibilities as president.
As the lowest executive in a company responsible for day-to-day affairs, there is no doubt how important the CEO is to a company. For example,
The fact that Arasaka has reached this point has nothing to do with its CEO Hachiro Arasaka.
Before giving two pieces of midriff to everyone present, Oizumi took out a small piece of fish meat, cut a large piece and showed it to everyone, and said: "This is the lower abdomen. It has the least fat in the belly of tuna, and it is also the more expensive part. The taste is great." It is smooth, rich in fat aroma, and has no turbid snowflake texture. It is a perfect match with the slightly sour taste of Koizumi rice."
"What is a human and what is a beast? History will leave a fair judgment."
Daquan opened the hot storage box at hand and took out a porcelain bowl. Under the strong light, the radish puree in the bowl is as white as fine snow, and the red fish roe is as warm as jade. Just looking at it makes people appetite.
When everyone was wondering how to choose, Haaland introduced understandingly: "The pickled egg yolks are all raw egg yolks from fresh eggs. They are marinated overnight with soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic, and then shredded into the mouth. It is smooth and creamy and has no fishy smell. The jellyfish mixed with the sushi uses Ezo sea urchin from Hokkaido and Japanese jellyfish stings just caught this morning. It has a crisp texture and is rich in nutrients. It is the best choice for strengthening the spleen and appetizing. "
When two group agents walking behind everyone opened the small door, a white silhouette immediately caught one person's attention. That's not because Leiffel's temperament is not outstanding, but because I am the only one sitting alone in the restaurant at this time.
As if he saw the doubts on everyone's faces, Harland smiled and said that in order to prevent us from being disturbed by others during the meal, the host of the dinner had booked the entire restaurant.
As the eight aerial vehicles landed steadily on the top floor of the Cangbi Building, all members of the Qichen team except the driver Falcoli arrived and walked together to the restaurant on the 81st floor of the building.
Although Yun Dan and others also wore the worst clothes in their wardrobes, compared with the kimono woven by famous designers under Harland, they pale in comparison.
Behind the ajar door of the restaurant, Ogawa Harland was wearing a white kimono, and on the innermost layer of the kimono, hundreds of stars were embroidered on silk fabric, which was both elegant and luxurious at the same time.
In view of the inevitable bias in taste among the same customers, Oizumi prepared two dishes with the same texture and taste for the last appetizer, namely pickled egg yolk with soy sauce and jellyfish mixed with sushi.
When Harland distributed the large plates filled with mashed radish to everyone one by one, Mamoru, who was extremely hungry, scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth. By the happy look on my face, the taste must be wrong.
I saw Xiao Wei lowering the porcelain plate and swallowing the egg yolk in one gulp. The funny look immediately made Lucy cover her mouth and laugh again. She subconsciously patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder, hinting to the other party. Eat in a civilized manner. The intimate interaction between the two made Rebecca, who happened to turn her head to the side, change her expression slightly, feeling a little less bitter in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it.
If it weren't for the small support of some rich people who like bad food, many fishing companies would even have the money to buy an armed fishing boat that cannot fight against manned submarines during fishing.
"In your hometown, tuna is known as the "Naked King," and bluefin tuna is the king of kings. Depending on the body part, the taste of the fish will vary slightly. "
Such a low-end meal process immediately made Yundan and others secretly think that it was a big deal. There must be a treat for the little god Leiffel. We are afraid that we will have to eat that luxurious Japanese meal for the rest of our lives.
For Leiffel's careful preparation, Yun Dan first thanked Mr. "Xing" for his kindness on behalf of me and my team. Then Qi Wei, who was sitting next to Lucy, flashed her prosthetic eyes and pretended to be evil. Asked: "You just heard this eldest sister call you Chief Executive Officer. Do you know which company that title is attached to?"
Judging from the grand banquet in which Qi Chenfeng entertained everyone, he was probably the CEO of a small company. But Qiwei just went online and checked the lists of boards of directors and executives of all listed companies in America and Europe, and found someone who matched the appearance of Leifer, which was a little beyond your expectations.
The result of Oizumi honing his young cooking skills, combining top-notch hand prosthetics with extremely scarce ingredients, Leiffel, who is usually the most picky about food, did not express any opinions today, but quietly enjoyed that rare meal. A small meal, while regretting why I had not decided to give myself a holiday earlier.
Taste the plate
Before paying the first prize, Qi Chenfeng took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped his mouth, indicating that Daquan could not continue making the previous dish.
Before cutting the belly meat into thin slices with almost the same thickness according to the texture, Oizumi took out the pearl rice that had been delayed to be steamed and cooled from the steamer. He placed the two in the palm of his hand and grasped them tightly. A simple and luxurious one on the inside. Koizumi made it. finished.
"But you may not know that while tuna has an extremely low swimming speed, like sharks, it must swim through the water, and it will not suffocate to death if it keeps swimming. Therefore, they seem to be at the top of the food chain. , in fact, they are just a group of beasts driven by survival instinct."
While the two were talking, Miyoko Oizumi, who was wearing an apron around her waist, came to the front of the crowd and bowed slightly to the leader, Reiffel, indicating that the ingredients were all ready. If guests want to, they can't stop at any time with the "pay first" on the tasting menu, which is a refreshing cold dish similar to the appetizer.
Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Leiffel and the Yundan team sat around a rectangular dining table near the window, quietly waiting for the chef responsible for making dishes on site.
Hearing the sparse footsteps coming from behind, Leiffel turned around, nodded to Yun Dan and the others and said, "I'm glad they came on time. I must be at ease. The purpose of you looking for you today is just to have a meal." , please carefully find a seat and sit down."
"No matter how weak a beast is, it is still a beast, but humans are always superior to beasts."
