During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 5: Chat and Mariko
Under the arrangement of the store, lunch quickly opened. Because none of Li Jie's three people can sit on their knees, all of them in this tatami room are sitting next to a low table in a sitting manner.
Traditional Japanese cuisine also maintains a divided meal system. The Kaiseki has many types of dishes, so the three people are full of dishes in front of the table.
is a high-end restaurant with Michelin stars. This shop has also done a lot of work on the dishes.
For example, serving tea for Li Jie's three people is using Yaoyao Tianmu tea bowl. This is a kind of porcelain that is formed by the glaze kiln transformation during the firing process, because the result is uncontrollable during the kiln transformation process.
So no matter in terms of appearance or quality, there are few works that can reach the usable level. And there are very few that can be regarded as works of art.
This craft originated in the southern Song Dynasty in Zhejiang area, but due to the yield rate and other various problems, it quickly lost its way. It was only in recent years that kilns started firing such porcelain again. And because Toyo likes this kind of kiln-changed porcelain, the research is earlier than that from China.
So this kind of kiln-to-ceramic process is actually better studied by Toyo. But even recently, firing has resumed, but the first-class kiln-to-ceramics are still expensive.
And the kiln-turned porcelain used in this kiosk is obviously of the first-class quality. The dishes used to hold the dishes are obvious, and the chef has worked hard.
is different from the flamboyant porcelain of the colorful tea bowl. The chef used a large amount of solid-colored porcelain with blue and white glaze. These porcelains are only in the position of the mouth, and there are some decorative patterns in the decoration.
And most of these patterns are in response to the season, it is now spring, so these patterns are also spring patterns. The simple porcelain gives a very quiet and elegant feeling.
After serving the dishes to the three people respectfully, the female on the side bowed back to the corner of the room and waited for the tea or the dishes when they needed to be summoned.
Perhaps Director General Yasuda already knows that Harry prefers a bit more flavor and does not like cold dishes. So this lunch kiosk made some special preparations for lunch.
Although the dishes still look like the traditional Japanese cuisine, they are fresh and elegant, but the taste is very rich after eating. The same is true of the seafood soup that should look very light, although the oil is not visible on the surface, the soup is clear like white tea. But the taste of drinking throat makes people feel the rich and fresh fragrance.
"Well, this is the best Toyo cuisine I have eaten in Toyo these days." Peter Parker nodded with satisfaction after trying a few small dishes. I am very happy to laugh.
"After all, Michelin stars are still useful." Li Jie also nodded approvingly, and dishes like this are finally given to people. If the guests do n’t like it, then the chef ’s persistence is unnecessary.
According to different customers to adjust different tastes, this is a long-term business. Especially this kind of high-end cooking kiosk that can't receive several guests in a month.
"What I am more curious about is why Toyo made this dish Kaiseki. What's so special about this? How is this different from ordinary dish banquets?" Harry took a bite of mackerel eel, Although it is called eel, it is actually a type of moray eel.
The chef used sauce roasting to process this mackerel eel. The chef's heat was very good, giving its fish skin some crispy taste, but the fish meat is still soft and tender. While being able to eat the rich flavor of the sauce, it has not robbed the umami of the moray itself.
Li Jie is also savoring the taste of various foods. He is using his tongue to record these taste memories. A good chef will not only cook his own dishes, but also taste the most important ones.
In particular, it can record various tastes that have been eaten, and can separate these complex tastes separately. Know how the spices and sauces react together.
This is like an oil painter. It is necessary to know each color and another color, and what kind of new color will be achieved through the proportion of the proportion.
This is the basic professional quality of an excellent practitioner.
Li Jie took a sip of soup after hearing Harry's question, and rinsed out the food debris in his mouth before he started talking. "Kaiseki, you need to take this word apart to understand it. In the context of Chinese, Huai is worth embracing, and Shi refers to stone."
"So from a literal point of view, it is a dish that embraces stones." Li Jie raised his eyebrows while supporting his chin with his thumbs, and said with a smirk.
"Hah? You mean that the cook needs to hold a stone in his arms when he cooks?" Peter Parker heard Li Jie's explanation and almost spouted out the food in his mouth. He quickly took a sip of soup before pressing it down.
"Are they playing Toyo's comedy?" Harry also wanted to laugh, just thinking of a chef holding a stone to cook. "You should praise Jason next time, hold the stone and make a burger."
"No, by no means. That's too stupid." Li Jieyi categorically rejected the proposal. "The real meaning of kaiseki is to use warm stones on the abdomen to fight hunger. The earliest was a practice method for monks to practice hard."
"Later, this concept was introduced because of the tea party that Toyo started to prevail in modern times. The traditional Toyo tea party is an activity belonging to nobles and wealthy businessmen. Until American Bailey opened the door of Toyo with a strong boat and a gun After this country became a semi-colonial country. "
"This country divided into two factions and started a chaos. After that, the faction faction won the victory, the whole country began to be fully westernized, and Toyo entered a period of rapid development. In this era, Xiaodou began to get rich slowly. So tea parties have also begun to spread among the people. "Li Jie quickly told about the historical background of Toyo.
"However, drinking tea on an empty stomach, especially strong tea, is harmful to health and prone to stomach pain. So there were teas that will provide food. At the earliest time, the amount of food was not much, and it is far from the many dishes we eat now. The effect is just to pad the stomach. "
"So there is the saying of kaiseki. It is to incubate the stomach with hot stones to make the stomach less hungry. But today, after continuous changes. The Kaiseki we eat becomes this way." Li After Jay finished speaking, he took another sip of soup.
"Are you saying that the United States once colonized the East? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in our history textbooks." Peter Parker, a school bully, has shifted his attention from food. He is now surprised that he hasn't learned this. Historical knowledge about colonizing the East.
Li Jie shrugged and said nothing surprised. "If you want to search for this information, it is still very easy to find. And the Toyos have erected a bronze statue to their conquerors to thank Admiral Bailey for knocking on their country gate."
"And it seems that there are commemorations and performances about him every year, but I forgot where it was held." Li Jie spread his hands and said that he only knew so much.
"Well, isn't Bailey doing this is an aggressor? Why did he build a statue for the aggressor and mourn him?" Harry felt a little messy.
"Where do I know why." Li Jie could only roll Harry's eyes for this question.
"Strange country." Peter's mouth opened for a long time and he didn't know what he wanted to say. In the end, he could only hold back this sentence.
The dining process is spent in a small chat like this. And the woman who has been helping to hand tea and clean up the dishes in the corner of the room will suddenly say something in fluent English at the end of lunch ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Mr. Li knows the culture and history of Toyo very well. "
Huh? Li Jie didn't respond in an instant. After a pause, she realized that the woman was smiling with a smile on her lips. "Sure enough, the people around Mr. Harry have something extraordinary."
Not only is the female fluent in English, but the tone of her voice is very confident. Not at all as weak as her appearance.
Because this woman's momentum has changed, Li Jie's mind suddenly flashed to her mind where she had seen her.
It was in the information provided by the Innocence, which contained a photo. The woman in the photo is heroic, and her smart black suit is very eye-catching. She can see at a glance that she is a tough woman.
It is precisely because of the heroism in the photo, and the softness in the cooking kiosk, these two very different temperaments that Li Jie did not recognize her in an instant.
And the woman in the photo, according to the information, is the current head of Yashida Consortium, Yashida Mariko.
