It’s not surprising that Michelle Ye doesn’t care about Shanghai cuisine.
But on the same night, across the East China Sea, there was the capital of the island nation.
There was a person whom she once envied and admired.
But I keep trying and pursuing the taste of Shanghai cuisine in my memory.
In the kitchen of a high-end apartment with 3 bedrooms and 1 living room in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.
"Tang Xin'er", who has changed her name to "Jin Soyan", spent almost an entire hour competing with the "Sweet and Sour Short Ribs".
Just from the fact that three plates of the same dish have been placed next to the stove, we know that she is obsessed with this dish to the point of being picky.
"Ciermei, come and try it. Why do I feel that the taste is still wrong this time? What's the difference between my and my foster mother's cooking? Shouldn't it be a little sour..."
"Ciermei", who was cleaning the glass next to her, heard the greeting and quickly came over with chopsticks to take a bite.
But he immediately shook his head to deny her view.
"Oh, this is really delicious. It's better than the one just now, and it's very close to the craftsmanship of 'Aunt Bao'. I say sisters, it's almost done. I dare say that your craftsmanship is absolutely fine, but don't
Forgot, this is not China after all, there are differences in materials. The wine is different, the sugar is different, the pork is different, and even the plums are different, don’t you think so?"
Looking at "Tang Xin'er", he sighed in disappointment and seemed to be going to open the refrigerator again to get the ribs to cook again.
"Trick Mei'er", who had been guarding against this for a long time, threw down her chopsticks and grabbed her. She couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"Sisters, let's not do this anymore. Let's start the dinner quickly, okay? What time is it? I'm so hungry that I can't stand it. I'm so grateful for the New Year, so just spare these ribs.
If you waste less, you might be able to save a pig's life. You can also be considered as a good deed and good luck in the coming year..."
As he spoke, he pretended to wipe away tears with one hand.
Her pretended bitterness immediately amused "Tang Xin'er".
"Ouch, can you please stop being so ungrateful? I've given you a pig as an excuse to make another one. It only takes a few minutes. I won't starve you to death..."
But "thorn plum" just won't let go.
"You still say that I don't have a starter? You little devil. Didn't you insist on eating fennel stuffed dumplings and force me to go all the way to bring you fennel? Let me tell you, smuggling gold is not that thrilling. The smell of fennel is delicious
That’s why. I told people it was a perfume from Costa Rica, so I narrowly escaped..."
This time, "Tang Xin'er" really couldn't help laughing, holding her stomach and "haha" for a long time.
"You can think of it! Costa Rica? You can really make it up! We all have to toast you later. Thank you very much for your 'sacrifice of life' and your quick wit, which made our meal of fennel stuffing possible."
Dumplings..."
"Cimei'er" blushed with laughter and made a "cut" sound.
"Put me down, if you dare to laugh at me again... Huh, I haven't told you about the situation in the capital yet. I've forgotten all the things you want to know."
Okay, "Tang Xin'er" can't be happy now.
Fortunately, just when she was about to apologize, she suddenly remembered something.
As a result, the hair of "Crimson Plum" was smoothed out easily.
"Don't threaten me, I'm not afraid at all. Do you know why? Sisters, listen up, because I can take you to meet the real Yamaguchi Momoe... Well, no, her name is Miura Momoe now..."
This "carrot" works.
"Ciermei" was so shocked that she closed her hands and even her voice trembled.
"Dear...you...are you kidding? Can you really take me to see 'Sachiko'? You...you're not lying to me, are you? How...is this possible?"
"Tang Xin'er" raised his head and said it with a bit of showoff.
"Hey, what's this? To tell you the truth, after your 'Sachiko' married 'Mitsuo', they actually lived in Takanawa 80 Building, Takanawa 4-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, not far from us. I am
After Japan’s ‘Coming of Age’ Day, I drove there to buy something and met him accidentally at a convenience store.” (Note: Coming of Age Day, before 2000, was January 15th)
"What are we doing? We easily came to Duan'er's performance of "Getting Money for Money" on the spot. Don't we know each other now? Baihui is really quite innocent. She really thought she had lost her wallet and kept thanking me. So now
, she and I are already friends who can sit and drink tea together. If you want to see her, it’s easy, I can just take you to her house."
"But when we meet again, you have to be mentally prepared. Firstly, I am currently pregnant with my second child, and my face is a bit fat and out of shape. It is different from the one on the screen. Don't be disappointed. Secondly, if you meet 'Guangfu'
',Don't wink at me..."
As a joke, "Tang Xin'er" took his wallet from the refrigerator and opened it to "Cier Mei" to see.
As soon as "Sashimi" saw the photo inside, it turned out to be "Tang Xin'er" taking a photo with "Oshima Sachiko" who had made her cry so many times.
She screamed immediately and hugged "Tang Xin'er" so excitedly that she wouldn't let go.
"Oh, sisters, you are so great! I don't even know how to thank you!"
"If you can let me see her, you can ask me to bring you stinky tofu next time, and I will bring her too."
"By the way, you still want to make short ribs, don't you? Whatever! I'm going to risk everything today, even if I really starve to death, I won't rush you..."
"Tang Xin'er" pretended to be disgusted and pushed her away.
"Screw you, don't talk nonsense on New Year's Eve. Help me get my things and start dinner!"
It should be said that this New Year's Eve dinner was indeed very appetizing.
Not only because everyone has been waiting for a long time, everyone is also hungry.
Also because the dishes are rich and taste great.
For example, freshly grilled fish with a fishy smell from the sea, raw oysters, and fragrant Kansai-style fried tempura with eggplant, perilla, mushrooms, and shrimp.
There are also "Mixed Shrimp Loin", "Steamed Pork with Vermicelli", several portions of "Sweet and Sour Short Ribs" and "Boiled Fresh Bamboo Shoots with Ham" made by "Tang Xin'er".
It can be said that it is the best of both worlds, combining the flavor of the East and the customs of the motherland.
Of course, the most outstanding thing is definitely the fennel filling dumplings.
Not to mention that you can’t find this stuffing in Japan at all. Even the dumplings are not sold here, so they can only be made at home.
Japanese dumplings are actually pot stickers, fried in a pan, six to a plate.
The fillings are onions and meat, which can make people feel sick. This is also the uniqueness of Japanese dumplings.
So today I can eat this fresh, smooth and authentic dumplings here.
For "Tang Xin'er" and his group of people from the capital who are living in a foreign land, this is truly a precious treat.
Even "Tang Xin'er", the smallest eater, ate twenty-eight large dumplings.
The "two heads" were even more exaggerated. They made 75 dumplings and ate more than 200 dumplings. It seemed that everyone's stomachs had turned into elastic bands.
Just chatting while eating like this, the steaming hot food is really smooth and comfortable.
It's just this kind of laughter and joy, after eating a stomachache.
When everyone listened to "Cier Mei" talk about what they saw and heard in the capital, they stopped unconsciously.
For no other reason than because "Cier Mei" truthfully relayed the advice given to her by Hong Yanwu when parting.
After sending "Ciermei" back to the Great Wall Hotel that day, Hong Yanwu specially drank tea with her in the lobby for a while.
The main purpose is to seriously advise "Cier Mei" to stop smuggling electrical appliances as soon as possible.
She said that since she had gone to Japan, if she really wanted to make money, there was an easy and honest way.
That is to invest all the money in the Japanese stock market to buy stocks.
It doesn't matter if she feels she has little money or is uneasy, he can lend her $50,000 for stock trading.
You don't have to pay back if you lose, you just need to share half of the profit.
Anyway, I dare not say too much, so I just buy real estate stocks, and I guarantee that within a few years, she can earn three or four times the amount.
Isn't it better to make a lot of money later, have foreign exchange capital, and go back to the country to do some legitimate big business?
Why is it bad? Okay! Of course it’s good if it’s really like this.
But these words are simply too unbelievable to everyone.
Everyone, including "Cimei'er" herself.
They don't understand what solid basis Hong Yanwu has for making such a firm judgment.
"Reach" was the first to speak, "Isn't this nonsense? Others are in the capital, but they conclude that real estate companies in the Japanese stock market can rise. No matter how you look at it, this idea is too unreliable."
"Two Head" also scratched his head.
"Normally, Mr. Hong is not the master of making blind chess for others, let alone planning to lend money to 'Ciermei'. There is no need for him to throw his own money into the sea. But it's this stock, he understands
Real estate? It seems that it has never gone up. What is shown on TV is that the stocks of telecommunications companies are going up?"
At this time, "Roller" also answered.
"Yes, in fact, no one can be sure about stocks. When I watch TV, there are often big Japanese entrepreneurs and big banks who have made huge losses due to investment mistakes in the stock market. I heard that some people even buy
He lost his fortune and jumped off a building if he made the wrong stock. This seems to be something more suspenseful than gambling."
Then "reach out" laughed again.
He said in a sarcastic tone, "It seems that this boss in the capital needs to see a doctor. He really thinks of himself as a god who can pinch things and do calculations. He can also control the economic trends of foreign countries. The Minister of Finance of the Republic is not like him.
This is what it takes."
Then he raised his head again.
"Hey, Ci'ermei, let me tell you, are you thinking about playing tricks with you? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't treat him like a treasure. I might throw money at you first and lead you into trouble.
Here, I will catch you later, this trick is hard to guard against..."
This time, don't say "thorn plum" is ashamed, angry and embarrassed.
"Tang Xin'er"'s face didn't look good either.
At the critical moment, the "big eye lamp" can still suppress it.
As an elder brother, he didn't allow him to "reach out" and make nonsense, so he was suppressed directly.
"You drank too much, what nonsense are you talking about! If your mind is not clear, you should go out and cool down, so as not to trouble everyone all the time."
"Besides, how do you know this is not a serious idea? At least I know that Xiao Wu has never made a mistake in his judgment."
"Is he right to take us to sell electrical appliances? Is he right to take people south to Huacheng to sell clothes? Is he right to let Ci Mei'er keep Japanese yen? Who among us can compare to such a skill? How dare you
What’s the disapproval?”
"What's more, there are rules for what you do. If you have any suggestions, you should mention them carefully. If you want to talk nonsense, don't talk about it. It's not your turn to really make the decision!"
After saying this, he turned to "Tang Xin'er".
"It's up to you to decide what to do. You always have the final say!"
At this time, "Tang Xin'er" looked at the eyes of everyone looking over.
After only pondering for a moment, he said the words that made "Stretch Out" face twitch almost without any hesitation.
"Maybe this is a common problem among women, or maybe it's a woman's intuition. Anyway, I will always believe Xiao Wu's words unconditionally."
"However, what I decide to do is only my own decision. There is really no need for everyone to follow reluctantly in this matter."
"In this way, in a few days I will split everyone's money. Everyone can make their own decision on whether they want to invest in the stock market together."
"But I have to say something. From now on, I hope no one will say anything unpleasant to Xiao Wu or my sisters. Otherwise, we will have to part ways."
At this moment, "Tang Xin'er" looked at "reach out" indifferently.
The firmness, seriousness, anger, reproach in his eyes, as well as the protectiveness of Hong Yanwu in his words, all made him miserable.
I feel inferior and give up on myself, and I really want to bang my head against the wall.
As for the others, who at this time does not understand the trick of God, ill-fated fate, wishful thinking and wishful thinking contained in this?
But everyone can only sit upright and sigh silently in their hearts.
