âThatâs not like you. Donât worry, Ishi-san, itâll be our turn.â Seeing dashi xiujieâs anxious look, which was rare, Qianyuan Takumi coughed twice to clear his throat and comforted him calmly.
Dashi xiujie was speechless instantly. He was a very calm person, but he hadnât eaten anything from Yuan Zhouâs restaurant for two weeks. When he recalled the taste, how could he not be anxious?
Looking at the expression of âwhy canât you be patientâ on chiyuantakuâs face, dashi xiujie almost couldnât hold back his future Grandmasterâs demeanor and directly blushed. After swallowing his saliva, dashi xiujie slowly opened his mouth,ââYouâll understand in a while. â
Dashi xiujie said that with a profound meaning. After that, he stood straight and faced Yuan Zhouâs restaurant and started to line up seriously.
Standing behind dashi xiujie, chiyuantaku suddenly felt a familiar feeling.
âAh, I understand. The way he looks is very similar to head chef Yuan, whom I just met.â Chiyuantaku muttered to himself as he came to a realization.
Thatâs right. Ever since he was personally guided by Yuan Zhou, dashi xiujie had even adopted Yuan Zhouâs upright standing posture meticulously. He also requested himself to maintain such a standing posture in front of others.
As a matter of fact, dashi xiujie used to stand very straight when he was working in his restaurant. However, due to the habits of the Japanese, his shoulders would be slightly bent. Ever since he intentionally corrected himself, however, dashi xiujieâs standing posture became closer and closer to Yuan Zhou âs.
His shoulders were also straight and his entire person seemed to be much taller. Of course, this was what dashi xiujie thought.
Yuan Zhouâs cooking speed was as fast as usual. Dashi xiujie, who got the second number, waited for 18 minutes before entering the restaurant to have his meal.
Due to the land area of Japan, chiyuantaku didnât think Yuan Zhouâs restaurant was very small. Instead, he thought it was good to open the restaurant in such a quiet place.
As usual, Qianyuan Takumi followed dashi xiujie and sat down on the high chair beside the curved long table.
Once the two of them sat down, su Ruoyan came over.
Su Ruoyan knew dashi xiujie and knew that he could speak Chinese. Therefore, she asked him in Chinese,ââWhat would the two of you like to eat today?â
âIâd like a serving of clear broth noodle soup set and a serving of egg fried rice, please. â Dashi xiujie ordered the dishes he needed easily.
Then, he turned his head and asked chiyuantaku what he wanted to eat in Japanese. After all, chiyuantaku could only understand a little and could not speak.
âWhat do you want to eat, Chiaki? You can order anything on this menu. Every dish is head chef Yuanâs specialty. You donât need to know what they are. â Dashi xiujie said with confidence.
Dashi xiujie pointed at the menu in front of chiyuantao and waited for him to order with a relaxed look.
âIâll have to trouble you to order me a bowl of plain white rice.â Chiyuantaku didnât even look at the menu and said directly.
âPlain white rice?â Dashi xiujie was a little surprised, but he immediately understood the meaning of Qianyuan Takumi. He nodded and continued,ââAlright, you wonât be disappointed, chizuhara-san.â
âI hope so,â Chiyuantaku nodded and then sat in his seat, waiting for dashi xiujie to order.
âPlease give him a serving of plain white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisine.â Dashi xiujie was very familiar with the menu of Yuan Zhouâs restaurant. He was probably even more familiar with it than su Ruoyan.
Wouldnât he be able to name a complete dish like the plain white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisine directly and accurately?
Before they came here, dashi xiujie had naturally reminded Chiaki Hara takto Yuan Zhou that the fees for foreigners like them were all in US dollars for the sake of convenient calculation.
Chiyuantaku had no opinion on this. After all, he was a great Grandmaster, and it was normal for him to accept us dollars. He didnât think there was any problem.
After all, to be able to eat a meal personally made by a master on the same day, not to mention US dollars, even euros were acceptable.
Even if you wanted to eat the Kimura kazufuruâs food, you couldnât just wait in line. You had to make an appointment and wait in line according to the rules, then ask for his time and then wait.
The two of them didnât care about this little bit of US dollars at all. They paid each otherâs bills very naturally and then waited quietly.
Having received su Ruoyanâs menu, Yuan Zhou was not surprised by a bowl of plain white rice.
âHeâs indeed a Japanese. â Such a thought flashed across Yuan Zhouâs mind. Then, he continued to cook without stopping.
Yuan Zhou couldnât be blamed for saying that. There was a reason why chiyuantaku ordered a bowl of white rice.
He just wanted to test Yuan Zhouâs culinary skills with a bowl of the most ordinary white rice.
Because in Japan, whether it was the northernmost Hokkaido or the southernmost Ryukyu Islands, rice was the main food.
Even in Japan Western restaurants, fast food like hamburgers, fried chicken, and Coke could be ordered with white rice. One could imagine the status of white rice in Japan.
Moreover, in ancient Japan, they had built their country on the basis of rice cultivation. In ancient agricultural societies, there was a tradition of linking agriculture with sacrifice. In Japanese, there was even the word ârice-planting ritualâ, which meant that in rice planting, there were rituals and sacrifices such as transplanting rice seedlings, insect prevention, and rain prayer. In some places in Japan, such sacrificial activities were still maintained.
It could be said that the Japaneseâs tongue was still obsessed with the taste and fragrance of the rice.
And chiyuantaku was no exception, but it was not so easy to cook a good pot of rice.
That was why chiyuantaku only ordered one serving of white rice.
Shi xiujie naturally understood the intention of chiyuantaku. However, he was very sure that chiyuantaku would definitely regret it after eating it. He would regret that he didnât carefully study the <<Grandmasterâs casual talk record>> that he had given him.
Yuan Zhou also understood Qian yuantuoâs intention when he saw the order. However, he didnât really care about it. He just served the rice seriously and then asked su Ruoyan to send it over.
It took less than three minutes from ordering to Qianyuan Takumi getting his own white rice. Su Ruoyan served the steaming white rice.
âHereâs your white rice, please enjoy. â After su Ruoyan finished speaking, she kept the tray and left.
Chihara Takumi thanked him in Japanese and then began to observe the White rice in front of him.
Dashi xiujie didnât care at all at the side. He was still staring at Yuan Zhou who was busy in the kitchen with a serious and solemn expression.
It was fortunate that master Cheng wasnât here. If master Cheng was, he would definitely block dashi xiujie with his fat body. After all, dashi xiujieâs gaze was too hot.
At this moment, master Cheng had a feeling that dashi xiujie was going to acknowledge him as his master on the spot in the next second. Therefore, he had an extremely strong sense of crisis.
âHiss.â The hiss next to dashi xiujie didnât draw his attention.
The hissing sound was naturally made by chiyuantaku, who was surprised by the perfection of the bowl of rice in front of him.
Thatâs right, it was perfect. He couldnât find a single flaw. From the filling of the bowl to the fragrance, as well as the crystal-clear grains, the completeness, and so on, everything was perfect.
âThis is unbelievable. Itâs so fragrant. Itâs just a bowl of plain white rice, but it makes me want to eat it so badly.â Chiyuantaku stammered.
It wasnât his fault for having such an exaggerated reaction, because he really loved eating rice, and as a chef, he also knew how to eat rice.
The Japanese loved rice very much. They even had an Association that specialized in evaluating the quality of rice grains called the grain Inspection Association.
This Association specialized in evaluating the taste of the rice produced in Japan and divided it into grades.
Furthermore, the rice was specially set into five levels, which were divided into special> aaa> â˛> bb> â˛. There were six evaluation criteria for rice grains, namely fragrance, appearance, taste, stickiness, hardness, and comprehensive evaluation.
There was also a requirement for the person who made this evaluation, they had to get ârice.â Only a person with the qualifications of taste appraiser could make an evaluation.
It could be said that every step was very detailed and complete.
