After greetings, the guest of honor took his seat and the chef took his place.
Island cuisine is very similar to Cantonese cuisine in that they respect the original taste of things. However, compared to Cantonese cuisine, which focuses on the freshness of the food, usually high-quality island cuisine is more selective about the ingredients than the chef. In order to ensure the freshness and quality of the food,
Taste, kaiseki cuisine is usually made on-site in front of the guests, and each dish is eaten freshly.
As the founder of Japan's No. 1 Kaiseki Japanese restaurant, it goes without saying that Tadashi Matsukawa's cooking skills are great. Although he is old now, he is still able to stand in front of the kitchen with ease, and his every move is full of the style of a master.
, Although Lei Yaoyang not been able to tell whether his cooking skills are awesome or not, the posture and sense of ceremony have already been fully developed before they even begin.
"Although I don't know how to eat or gourmet food, just looking at this food makes me feel like I have a lot of appetite!"
"The highest-quality ingredients are often cooked in simple ways. You really understand the essence of Chinese cuisine."
Songchuan Zhong in front of the kitchen table started making the prepayment. Lei Yaoyang hugged Ding Yao and sat opposite each other with Incheon. The mayor of Incheon said to Lei Yaoyang with a smile.
"It is true that food itself is taken from nature and integrated into nature."
Today's Lei Yaoyang, although he doesn't know how to eat, now his conditions and power mean that he can do anything. In the past, when faced with this kind of topic, he would often listen more and talk less, or just listen and not talk, but now he
His financial resources and influence are enough to support him no longer showing timidity when talking to others.
"oh?"
"Guest, the naturalness in your mouth is somewhat interesting?"
Songchuan Zhong, who was cooking delicious food for Lei Yaoyang and the mayor of Incheon on the kitchen table, heard Lei Yaoyang's words and couldn't help but talk to Lei Yaoyang with interest.
"I have only heard a little bit about Chinese cuisine that has been around for thousands of years. For example, the five colors bring out the five flavors and the five internal organs."
Lei Yaoyang responded with a smile.
"Five colors, five flavors, five?"
"How come I've never heard of it?"
The mayor of Incheon looked a little surprised and asked Matsukawa Tadashi.
"The five flavors are bitter in spring, sour in summer, sweet in autumn, sweet in winter and astringent..."
"The five methods are steaming, frying, boiling, roasting and raw."
"As for the five colors and five internal organs, they are green spring, red summer, white autumn, xuandong and bright yellow, heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney."
Matsukawa Chu explained to the mayor of Incheon with a smile while serving dishes to the two of them.
"This is a large crab located in the deep sea that requires submarine materials to catch. The crab roe is delicious and the crab meat is fresh and tender. Dip it with some mustard and soy sauce, and it will definitely be a rare feast."
"Mr. Lei, Mr. Incheon, Miss Ding, do you want us to pair you some wine?"
Matsukawa Zhong placed two plates of extremely exquisitely presented dishes that could even be called art in front of Lei Yaoyang and the other three, and then asked them with a smile.
"Miss Ding, you and Mr. Yu Lei are hosting a banquet for the mayor of Incheon. Naturally, you have to treat them with good wine. I won't bother Master Sun Chuan to accompany us this time. I have prepared it myself in advance."
The mayor of Incheon finished speaking with a smile, and then looked at Lei Yaoyang:
"Mr. Lei, Miss Ding, can you have some sake?"
"Can."
Lei Yaoyang nodded slightly, and Ding Yao also smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Lei, Miss Ding, wait a moment. The wine I prepared will definitely not disappoint you."
Seeing Lei Yaoyang agree, the mayor of Incheon couldn't help but smile even wider.
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the box. When he returned to the box, he had a rectangular golden brocade box in his hand. On top of this rectangular golden brocade box, there were two extremely elegant and elegant The big character——Longquan!
"This is……"
When Matsukawa Chung saw the large characters on the golden brocade box in the hands of the Mayor of Incheon, he saw that it was worth a lot of money, and it was also not something that a public official could produce.
"This is Longquan Junmai Daiginjo."
The words of the mayor of Incheon confirmed what Matsukawa Tadashi had been thinking. It was indeed the top wine in their island country.
"How many generations?"
"Four generations!"
"Which year is it from?"
“From 1970!”
While responding to Matsukawa Tadashi's inquiry, the mayor of Incheon opened the golden brocade box and took out a bottle of wine that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a well-sealed mouth.
“It turned out to be the 15-year-old Fourth Generation Longquan Junmai Daiginjo.”
"Dear guests, please drink more of this bottle of wine later. It is really rare."
Matsukawa Zhong felt a little emotional, and then he reminded Lei Yaoyang jokingly.
"oh?"
“Is this Fourth Generation Longquan Junmai Daiginjo so rare?”
Lei Yaoyang rarely drinks in Hong Kong Comprehensive City. Even if he does drink, he usually drinks foreign wine, red wine or even white wine, and rarely drinks sake. Lei Yaoyang really doesn't know much about these little devils' things. So I really don’t know much about sake Lei Yaoyang.
"Mr. Lei and Miss Ding, the fourth generation of Longquan Junmai Daiginjo has been ranked first among the Japanese sakes for many years. It is also the Japanese sake with the highest price in the Japanese market. Even the 720ml Longquan Junmai Daiginjo has only been stored for two or three years. The price of brews is usually around 400,000 yen, and they are usually priced but not available. For example, the 1800ml 15-year-old Longquan Junmai Daiginjo that Mr. Watanabe got is probably 4 million yen. Just yen."
Matsukawa Tadashi briefly introduced to Lei Yaoyang the supremacy of the wine in the hands of the mayor of Incheon in the Japanese sake industry. After listening to Matsukawa Tadashi's introduction, Lei Yaoyang also roughly understood that, in short, Incheon City This long wine is equivalent to Feitian Moutai among Chinese white wines, Louis XIV among foreign wines, or Romantic Conti among red wines. It is ridiculously expensive in all cities.
It is very interesting for a director to bring out a bottle of such expensive wine. The economy of the island country is soaring, but as a public employee, the salary and remuneration are definitely not outrageous to such an extent. When one does not reveal one's wealth, it is not like a public employee. So, Incheon dared to do this, haha, Lei Yaoyang looked at Ding Yao with a little smile.
It seems that his woman's hard work in the island country has indeed been in vain. By doing this, Incheon is showing his loyalty and the possibility of further cooperation. Lei Yaoyang is not afraid of being greedy when cooperating with the little devil, but he is afraid that he will not be able to make money. If he has money, he can use it. No matter how hard it is, Lei Yaoyang will get back everything he has paid.
"The mayor of Incheon brought out such good wine, it seems we will have to get drunk today."
Lei Yaoyang couldn't help but smile and say this when he saw the mayor of Incheon opening the wine skillfully.
"A thousand cups of wine is too little to drink with a close friend. When you meet a talented person like Mr. Lei from Hong Kong TV series, you will never come home until you are drunk."
The mayor of Incheon spoke very beautifully and even quoted an ancient Chinese poem. Then he picked up the wine bottle and took the initiative to pour wine for Lei Yaoyang.
Standing in front of the stage, Songchuan Zhong couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw the mayor of Incheon actually taking the initiative to pour wine for Lei Yaoyang.
"Master Lei, please!"
"Mayor of Incheon, please!"
The two sides bowed to each other, then raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp...
