042. Xu Lun's material journey(1/2)
Xu Lun naturally didn't know what was happening on the other side of the earth.
Suddenly there was 500,000 more in his wallet, so he naturally had to spend it.
Since Yamada Kazuto's new book is titled "The Wandering Guide to Kabukicho", Xu Lun guessed that it should be a travel novel about traveling around Kabukicho.
When it comes to traveling, you naturally have to have a meal.
Xu Lun tasted the deliciousness of Kabukicho for Yamada Kazuto and recorded it as the material of the novel, which is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Xu Lun felt hungry.
Dong.
Dong.
Dong.
"We have to find a store quickly."
Xu Lun walked through the streets and soon walked to the entrance of a ramen shop with delicious fragrance.
【Yimao Ramen】.
The store name is like this.
Xu Lun also confirmed that this was indeed a shop selling ramen instead of a custom shop selling dog meat under the guise of food.
Due to the fierce competition, the names of custom shops are becoming more and more bizarre now.
【Changchun】, 【Taoyuan】 are already very simple.
【Hell Bliss】, 【Made in Heaven】 is not very popular either.
Looking around, there are names like [Cooking Pavilion to welcome the spring] [Hell Ramen] [Heaven Eat Flowers and Birds and Winds] [Maid Coffee Palufei]. People who don’t know really think it is a restaurant that makes cooking.
This is actually related to the customs and shop culture of Iwagi. In the Shogunate era, Kansai had a systematic customs industry. At that time, in order to avoid suspicion, many shops used the guise of restaurants and restaurants. On the surface, they sold meat, but in fact, they sold meat.
The related industries in the Kanto region were developed after the reform, so most of the names have a little Western-style characteristics, named after the cafe.
When Xu Lun first came to Kabukicho, he often went to the wrong door.
Of course, now he is familiar with the art and can clearly distinguish the differences.
The kind of shop that looks like a woman who only looks beautifully dressed up is mostly a custom shop.
In real restaurants, there is usually a macho boss.
Of course, some custom stores also provide macho services. If you make a mistake, it may lead to terrible results. Therefore, you should investigate more before pushing the door to the store.
For example, this [Yimao Ramen] is said to be a cat ramen inherited from the Kamakawa River in Kyoto. As for the real taste, Xu Lun still has to taste it.
After lifting the curtain, Xu Lun walked into the store.
"...Boss, I didn't bring any money with me, I'll give it to you next time."
As soon as he walked into the store, Xu Lun heard a soft and charming voice.
"?"
Did you go wrong?
Xu Lun couldn't help but quit and looked at the signboard.
That's right.
He looked into the store.
Behind the table was the boss wearing an apron. There were no customers at this point, only one woman was acting coquettishly towards the boss in front of the table.
"Anyway, I won't run away. Everyone is doing business on this street. It will definitely be the next time, and it will definitely be the next time."
The woman's entire upper body was pressed on the table, and some indescribable Mariana Trench were penetrated into the boss's vision.
"Or, boss, come to the store to find me after closing the door today. I can give you a free kill."
The charming voice sounded like this again.
The boss blushed, and said, clearing his throat.
"Then, then you remember to give it to it next time."
"Okay!"
The woman jumped up happily, turned around and was about to leave, and saw Xu Lun standing at the door again.
"Wow, it's a handsome guy. Are you interested in coming to our store to see? My elder sister can take you to heaven."
When she saw the handsome guy, she seemed very happy and took out her business card and handed it to Xu Lun.
Xu Lun politely followed and saw a card with the name of "Hefei Flowers, Birds, and Fengyue". The name, or the flower name is Ziyang.
Purple sunflower, also known as hydrangea, is a very common flower in Heguo's spring.
Most girls in custom shops do not use their own names, but instead they are fancy names.
Because many people are not full-time, but part-time.
Some of them are company members, school teachers, and cashiers working in convenience stores during the day.
At night, it turns into various flowers and blooms in Kabukicho on a rainy night.
This contradiction is also part of Heguo culture.
Xu Lun has no intention of commenting.
Watching the other party leave, Xu Lun saw that the reporter who had previously interviewed passers-by quickly approached the Miss Ziyang and gave 500,000 yuan for the interview.
He is really rich.
Xu Lun ordered a bowl of turquoise ramen and finished it with satisfaction.
"How is it, boy, my house tastes pretty good."
The boss asked casually.
"not bad."
Xu Lun nodded.
"The taste of my house is praised by many celebrities. If you think there is anything wrong with it, you can tell me directly that I won't charge you."
The boss said again.
"Really?"
Xu Lun suddenly felt energetic.
"...Really, you can say that I, Noodle Saburo, have been making ramen for thirty years, and have never encountered anything that I think is not delicious."
Xu Lun's unceremonious attitude made the boss stunned, and he said hesitantly.
"Then I'll just say a few words."
Xu Lun put down his chopsticks and continued.
"Well, the batch of pork you used to make char siu may have drunk acidic water when raising it. The meat is relatively loose. Although the boss's method of handling it is good, the taste is a little worse after all."
"If I tasted it correctly, a scratch about three centimeters in length may appear on the bottom of the pot, causing the iron odor to penetrate into the soup. Of course, most people should not taste it."
"In addition, non-disposable wooden dishes and chopsticks need to be carefully cleaned, dried and disinfected. The weather is a little wet during this period, so there is a little water vapor on the chopsticks, which affects the taste."
"If you have the last noodles, I don't know if it is because of the water temperature control or other situations. When the cold water is over, it doesn't cool enough, so it looks a little sticky and not refreshing enough."
"It's probably just some shortcomings."
?
In the huge shop, question marks appeared on the boss's head.
Is this here to ruin the situation?
The boss was a little angry.
"Forget it, although there is a problem, it's still delicious. It's the money for the meal."
Seeing this, Xu Lun did not insist on exempting the order, but paid the money very gentlely and stood up and left the store.
The boss is increasingly thinking that this is where he is here to find fault.
Forget about the problem of char siu kneading noodles, this person can even eat the scratches on the bottom of the pot, how is this possible!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but come to the pot where the soup was cooked, poured the soup into the pot next door, and carefully observed the bottom of the pot.
“…”
I saw that there was indeed a shallow scratch that was less than three centimeters on the bottom of the pot that had been used for several years.
“!!!”
The boss hurriedly ran out of the store, but found that Xu Lun had disappeared from the crowd in Kabukicho.
