Akihabara Pioneer Road Chapter 145: 【I have a story, do you have wine? ! ]
"Wow—"
Linda also softly opened the small window that the chef connected to the guest table. He handed ice water and towels to each table from the window. For female diners, he specially prepared warm water, and took the guests' orders one by one, and turned to chef Yamagishi.
"Wow—"
He gently closed the small window again, but connected an invisible "spiritual passage" above the dining table where the judges sat.
The voices of the special diners' conversations came to Lin Daye's mind continuously.
"This shop is really creative. It's suitable for ramen lovers who are obsessed with taste." A female judge was the most violent at first against tonight's salon location selection, but when she actually sat at the table Previously, it was more appreciated here.
"Am I right? We are tired of staying in those izakaya private rooms. Occasionally, it is a good choice to sit and sit in such a Zen meditation space." It's what a ramen lover would say.
"Speaking of which, do you think there are any works in this issue's award candidates that stand out?" the middle-aged man with a beard asked everyone.
"I have one!" "I recommend one!" "There is one more suitable work!"
Several people spoke at the same time, and their voices were interrupted by each other, and they fell silent again, and couldn't help smiling at this interesting scene.
There are a lot of moths when people of culture get together. They suggest to adopt the ancient method of the Three Kingdoms, write the name of the work they recommend first on a note, and then the fantou will vote together to see how everyone chooses. And fit.
The middle-aged man with a beard held a pile of notes in his hand, his eyes swept around the judges like a searchlight, and began to open the notes one by one and read.
"The Forest of Oslo, one vote."
"The Forest of Oslo, two votes."
"The Forest of Oslo, three votes."
…
Except for one of the reviewers, everyone else wrote this novel by Lin Daye!
Everyone smiled knowingly: Sure enough, the heroes see the same thing!
"This author seems to be unknown, and no literature has been published in other publications. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"He is the original author of a serialized comic, published in the weekly magazine "Youth Run", my son must follow every issue!"
""Youth Running"? Isn't that a juvenile comic? What is the theme of his comic?"
"It's the reasoning to decide the case, it's called "Detective Kenan"!"
"Really? So, this person is also a mystery writer while writing pure literature."
"But I can't find this author named 'Lin Da Ye' among other mystery novel authors!"
"That's weird. Looking at his work "The Forest of Oslo", it's so smooth and moving, the writing is quite impressive! I can't even see a trace of a novice. I didn't expect that there was no previous work. Which celebrity's new pseudonym may be."
"However, his writing style is different from that of any well-known writer. It is completely unconventional and innovative! The narrative style of classical novels has been added to the classic stream of consciousness of parallel montage, which makes people completely immersed in it and cannot bear to let it go! "
"I feel the same way. His storyline seems simple and ordinary, but the layout is quite meticulous, and it has a feeling of guiding readers to be willing to search for light and clues in a dark and complicated story maze to approach the end and exit bit by bit. But I always feel that there is a good chance that this exit will be waiting for readers with a big surprise, or an unexpected plane connection!"
"Agree! This is the most attractive pure literary work I have read in recent years, and it has strengthened my double belief in 'literature is immortal' and 'love is immortal'. That unforgettable sense of substitution is really real Suffocating!"
"Bang Bang Bang!" "Wow——"
After a light knock, the small window connecting the dining table to the back kitchen was opened again.
The owner brought out bowls of ramen noodles and vegetables in the rising heat. At the same time, a fragrant aroma wafted out, directly drowning the topics discussed by everyone.
"Then, please use it!" The young shopkeeper said to everyone with a smile.
"I'm welcome!" "I'm starting!"...
The crowd held the chopsticks between their thumbs like elementary school students eating school meals, and bowed to the bowl, and started this food salon journey of "Serving Meals with Wen"!
"Hu--" "Hu-hu--"
When eating noodles here, you must make a sound, but this is the etiquette that you should pay attention to. If you don't make a sound, it will be considered that the noodles do not meet the taste of diners, and it is a "silent criticism" of the store.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious! This is the best ramen I've ever eaten!" This is a candid comment.
"Really! Even someone like me who doesn't eat noodles at a ramen restaurant is completely immersed in the rich fragrance. It seems that I have to take off my 'prejudice glasses' about ramen from now on!" This It is the evaluation of the road turn fans.
"As soon as you taste this taste, you will know that the step of 'kneading the noodles' is added, which awakens the soul of the noodles, so the entrance is so smooth and chewy!" This is an expert-level evaluation.
"The food code has also surpassed the status of ramen as an accessory, and it is a superb drink and food when it is taken out alone!" This is the evaluation of "heartedness".
"I said, after tasting such delicious ramen, is our 'salon activity' automatically interrupted?" Everyone's topic was all about the food and drink at the table. After being reminded by this sentence, they thought it was true.
The reviewer who praised Caima just now retorted: "Didn't everyone reach a consensus just now? Isn't "The Forest of Oslo" a dark horse that everyone expects. In this way, a major issue today has been completed. Ah!"
Everyone ate happily and nodded in agreement - including the mustache Fantou and the reviewer who didn't vote for "Oslo Forest" just now.
"Then, I have an immature suggestion..." The retorting reviewer continued to add, "Since this dish is a rare delicacy, why don't we literati drink wine to cheer up the fun?"
Order alcohol at a ramen shop?
Originally, the "Ueki Award" jury's salon activities are always accompanied by drinks, and there are also alcohol lovers who love what's in the glass as much as they love ramen. As soon as this suggestion was put forward, many people immediately agreed. After all, such refreshing fish cakes and sauce-flavored barbecued pork can not be tasted in any restaurant~IndoMTL.com~ Surprisingly, when they tried to ask the owner After adding the wine, I was told that there was a wine that could be supplied - of course, this did not appear on the order of the vending machine and the questionnaire.
And, this wine has a strange name - Tom Collins!
What is even more surprising is that soon after that, from behind the small window like the door of time and space, cups of crystal clear liquid in thick-mouthed glasses were handed over. Some cups were decorated with a slice of lemon, some It was a candied cherry floating in the air.
Cultural people are not wrong. Judging from the number of cups, the one with cherries is reserved for ladies, and the rest of the lemon version is reserved for men.
"Then, for the salon, cheers!" The mustache middle-aged man took the lead in suggesting that everyone toast together. They always used the code word "salon" for the "Ueki Award" judging activities in restaurants.
Everyone took a sip with curiosity and found that it was actually a sweet wine.
The lemon version has the aroma of whisky, and the cherry version is full of gin.
On a salon night where literary awards are judged, it's hard to breathe without this unusual ramen dish and a glass of refreshing concoction.
A slight sense of satisfaction spreads rapidly among the crowd.
So you're Tom Collins?
Linda also looked at the syrup glass bottles, lemons, whiskey bottles, and gin bottles on the kitchen table, and tightened the faucet of the soda water pipe. In the new chapter of "The Forest of Oslo" published, there will be a classic plot of "Tom Collins" where the hero and heroine drink.
Remember this wine is called "Tom Collins"!
