My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 196 Omakase
Masahiro Shangjima was a little embarrassed, he knew that Liu Minghui must still be angry, that's why he said that.

But this matter was originally wrong with Yamada Tadahiro, so naturally he would not engage in meaningless disputes.

Immediately laughed and said: "I originally wanted to let Mr. Liu pass through the water easily, but I didn't expect to have an oolong."

"In the end, it slapped me in the face and caused Mr. Liu to misunderstand Shangdao Xiansheng. It was really self-defeating."

"With Mr. Liu's strength, we don't need to release water at all."

"There is no doubt that even the dishes made by the chef himself."

"Mr. Liu definitely has the qualifications and the ability to comment."

"There is no doubt about the increase in positions. I have already ordered the front office of Nonaka to prepare."

"Mr. Liu just needs to bring your companion to the Nonaka front desk, and he will guide you to dine."

After a pause, Naojima Masahiro took out a shining card from his close pocket.

With both hands in front of him, he bowed deeply to Liu Minghui.

The whole body of this card is golden yellow, as if made of gold, it looks extremely luxurious.

It is also carefully inlaid with countless broken diamonds.

Under the illumination of the light, it shines with dazzling light.

Shang Dao Masahiro said with a smile: "This time, we Shang Dao Xiansheng did something wrong."

"Mr. Liu, please forgive us for our mistakes."

"To express our apology, Shangdao Xiansheng will give Mr. Liu a diamond VIP card."

“With this card, you can not only enjoy a [-]% discount on the entire restaurant when you come to Shangdao Xiansheng, but you can also avoid making a reservation.”

"I hope that Mr. Liu accepts my most sincere apology and must not refuse."

I have to say that the traditional arts of Sakura Country are still very powerful.

Nashima Mahiro just kept bowing.

There is a great possibility that Liu Minghui will not stop if he does not accept it.

This situation actually made Liu Minghui a little embarrassed.

The truth is that as long as you are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else.

After thinking about it, he also accepted the diamond VIP card and said:
"Seeing that the store manager Shangdao's attitude is not bad, I reluctantly accept your apology."

"I just hope you can take it as a warning and stop doing such foolish things again."

“When someone points out the problem, we should accept it with an open mind.”

"Instead of fighting back."

"I won't leave BB."

Liu Minghui sighed and said, "Although there are many kings with strong mouths."

"But I can't stand a real person like me."

"Besides, it's not the attitude of doing business with you like this."

"Less play with routines and more sincerity, maybe the effect will be better."

"With all that said, you can do it for yourself."

Seeing Liu Minghui accepting the membership card, Naoshima Masahiro smiled openly.

In this case, this matter can be regarded as the past.

Immediately bowed again, and said to Liu Minghui, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your advice."

"Shang Dao Xiansheng must be a warning."

hope so.

Liu Minghui shook his head and walked out of the kitchen and lounge.

He had other things to do and didn't have time to waste time here with them.

After Liu Minghui left, Nonaka Yoshiyuki finally couldn't help but said:

"Mr. Shangdao, that is the most honorable diamond VIP membership card."

"How can you give it to an ignorant person for no reason?"

Shangdao Fresh Diamond VIP Membership Card is extremely rare.

Not only powerful, but also a status symbol.

It has to be said that Shangdao Masahiro managed Shangdao Xiansheng very well.

Especially the exaggerated membership system.

The most advanced diamond VIP membership card is the dream of countless people.

Yoshiyuki Nonaka really couldn't imagine why Naojima Masahiro gave such an important thing to Liu Minghui unconditionally.

Say it's an apology?

This must be an excuse, after all, the lowest-level bronze VIP membership card is enough to give it away.

Naoshima Masahiro did not explain, there are some things that Yoshiyuki Nonaka is not worthy of knowing.

He opened his mouth and warned: "I know better than you who Mr. Liu is."

"You just have to do what you have to do."

"You don't need to do any extra things."

"I hope I never see anything like today again."
-
The back kitchen is not far from the hall, and Liu Minghui quickly walked to the entrance of the hall.

Through the door, Liu Minghui saw the crowd who were looking forward to it.

My heart warmed up.

Everyone still cares about their own affairs.

Seeing everyone's worried faces, Liu Minghui suddenly became playful.

Showing a sad expression, Liu Minghui walked into the hall and said to everyone in a deep voice:
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting for a long time."

I just don't know if it's Liu Minghui's illusion.

He always felt that everyone seemed a little happy when they saw his depressed expression.

Seeing Liu Minghui's expression, everyone immediately felt something was wrong.

Did this fail the challenge?

This is, simply, great!

Also.

After all, the other party is a well-known cooking master.

Unable to comment, this is what should be done.

Miwa Gu Chuan spoke first: "Boss Liu, failure is the mother of success."

"Don't be discouraged. As long as you keep working hard, you will become stronger and stronger."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to secretly gesture a yes gesture to the photon in the room.

This time he took the lead.

Not to be outdone, Indoor Photon continued: "Yes, failure is not terrible."

"Boss Liu, you must cheer up."

"No matter what other people think, you will always be the best in our hearts!"

Takimoto Miki comforted softly: "Isn't it just a Shangdao Xiansheng, it doesn't matter if you don't eat it."

“In my opinion, only Boss Liu’s food is the most delicious.”

"We made a unanimous decision when you went to participate in the challenge."

"If the challenge fails, all of us will give up on Shangdao Xiansheng and go back to Longli Izakaya with you."

"As long as it's Boss Liu's cooking, even simple fried rice is more meaningful than other things."

Moriyama Joichi nodded vigorously and said, "That's right."

"Everyone is a journeyman, come together, walk together."

"There must be no missing one."

……

Everyone spoke to each other, comforting Liu Minghui patiently.

While Liu Minghui felt warm in his heart, he also felt a little unable to step down.

In this case, if you tell them that you have actually passed the challenge.

Will they be disappointed?
Embarrassing, capitalized embarrassment.

Fortunately, someone came out to help Liu Minghui out at this time.

Yoshiyuki Nonaka, who had been waiting for a long time without any results, walked out of the restaurant directly.

Very politely said to everyone: "Misters and ladies, your seats have been prepared."

"Please come with me to dine."

Mochizuki Kana was a little confused, which one was this?
He immediately asked: "Are they seven people?"

Nonaka Yoshiyuki understood what Mochizuki Kana meant and nodded with certainty:

"Seven people, of course."

"Even twenty people are fine."

"Mr. Liu is our VIP customer of Shangdao Fresh Diamonds. The guests he brings do not need to make an appointment."

Seeing everyone turning their eyes to him, Liu Minghui explained with some embarrassment:

"Such a simple challenge is naturally within reach for me."

"There is no possibility of failure at all."

"During the challenge, I showed off my skills and instantly impressed store manager Shangdao."

"In the end, he insisted on forcing me a diamond VIP membership card."

"It is said that from now on, you can not only avoid making a reservation when dining at Shangdao Xiansheng, but you can also enjoy a [-]% discount."

[-]% off!

Is this really not a loss?

Yoji Kawakami asked in disbelief: "Boss Liu, is it possible that Shangdao Xiansheng is also your business?"

"That's [-]% off!"

"Plus no appointment required."

"The value is immeasurable."

Liu Minghui shook his head and said, "Shangdao Xiansheng can't be my property."

"As for whether to lose money or not? It depends on Shangdao Xiansheng's profit."

"Hey, I can't help it either."

"The store manager Shangdao must give it to me, and I can only reluctantly accept it."

Only then did Mochizuki Kanai react, and exclaimed: "So, Boss Liu, you actually passed the test?"

"Were you lying to us just now?"

deny.

I won't admit it even if I'm beaten to death!
Liu Minghui said roguely, "I obviously didn't say anything."

"If you didn't trust me enough, why would you think I would lose?"

"I thought that in your eyes, I was a certain existence."

Good guy.

I just called the good guy.

Not only are you playing a rogue, but you also want to bite back?
No wonder you like rhubarb so much, it turns out that like attracts like.

Among them, Yamaguchi Ryuzo had seen Liu Minghui's level of cheating people, so he was not surprised at all.

Back then, he was also a big boss of the generation, comfortably in front of his own president.

Unfortunately, the boat capsized in the gutter and met Liu Minghui.

In the end, I never looked back, and I had to work part-time to earn enough money.

Indoor Photon said a little dumbfounded: "Boss Liu, it's not that we don't believe in your strength."

"It's just that you seemed unhappy, so I comforted you out of habit."

"I'm very sorry for that."

Mochizuki Kana rolled her eyes.

Silly girl, why are you so stupid?

She usually looks very smart, but when she met Liu Minghui, she became a little demented.

However, it is also possible that the indoor photons are playing hard to get.

Deliberately pretending to be crazy and acting stupid to help Liu Minghui escape.

After all, she doesn't look like she's not smart at all.

Liu Minghui sighed, and said, "I thought that since it was called a challenge, it would be somewhat difficult."

"Where did I expect it to be so simple, it's really boring."

"So I was a little frustrated, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by you."

"That said, I feel somewhat responsible."

"Since this is the case, then the merits and demerits will be offset, how about exposing it?"

Gu Chuanmeihe nodded vigorously and said, "Boss Liu is still considerate."

"Obviously we misunderstood you, but you still spoke for us."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go in and have dinner."

This trick was made out of nothing and made it darker. Chen Cang successfully helped Liu Minghui resolve the difficulty.

Let everyone call out two female spies among the people.

It was obvious that he had secretly thrown himself into the arms of the enemy Liu Minghui.

However, under their continuous elimination and beating, this matter can be considered as an end.

After all, it’s impossible for anyone to really pursue Liu Minghui’s joke.

After laughing, it's just right to liven up the atmosphere and go to have dinner.

Soon everyone was seated in the restaurant.

But the seats are interesting.

Liu Minghui sat in the very center, with Indoor Photon on his left and Miwa Tanigawa on his right.

After seeing Liu Minghui take his seat, the two women sat down next to Liu Minghui at lightning speed.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were two positions, they might have fought because of it.

Shangdao Xiansheng is an Omakase restaurant.

Omakase originated from the country of cherry blossoms, which means "chef issued".

This type of restaurant does not have a menu, and all chefs make decisions.

Guests can directly communicate with the chef and tell the chef their preferences and taboos.

The chef will tailor the favorite cherry-style dishes for the guests according to their requirements.

Serving order is generally from cold food to hot food.

Flavored fish from mild to full-bodied and shiny.

Taste in order to get the best taste.

The absence of a menu means absolute trust in the chef.

Omakase is a way for chefs to give full play to their talents.

It is also a test of the chef's cooking level.

Once the trust is broken, it will be a terrible disaster for any restaurant.

The front kitchen of Shangdao Fresh is an open kitchen.

Inside, an ordinary middle-aged man with a round waist and thick shoulders was busy.

His eyes are full of seriousness.

Come to think of it, this is Masato Nakashima himself.

Because it requires hard work to practice basic skills, it also requires a long time to operate various heavy kitchen utensils.

Therefore, most of the chefs are relatively strong, and it is rare to see handsome men and beautiful women.

Of course, a genius like Liu Minghui is different.

He had long since reached the point where he could lift his weight as lightly as he could.

Although I have also developed muscles, it is not obvious from the outside.

It belongs to the type that looks thin when dressed, and has flesh when undressed.

After a simple display of the ingredients, Masato Nakashima took action and began to prepare appetizers for everyone.

Food display.

This is also a necessary process before eating.

The freshest ingredients are neatly arranged in food boxes for customers to watch.

These are the ingredients that will be used to make dishes later.

In this way, it not only allows guests to eat more confidently, but also demonstrates the strong confidence of the chef.

All the ingredients I use are the most delicious and fresh ingredients!
Fresh fish pieces of various colors are arranged according to the depth of the color.

And a whole box of the freshest sea urchins.

Orange-red color.

Full grain.

All prove that this is the best horse dung sea urchin.

It looks extremely attractive.

You can even smell a faint fragrance that whets your appetite.

Everyone was already hungry, and when they were tempted by the delicious ingredients, they became a little greedy.

They all looked at Masato Nakashima expectantly, wondering what kind of food he would serve.

The charm of Omakase lies in the unknown.

It will give guests a feeling of opening a blind box.

You don't know what you're going to eat until it's served.

Masato Shangdao knew the psychology of customers well, so he quickly prepared an appetizer and placed it in front of everyone.

Even if there is only one person, Naojima Masato is still able to maintain a terrifying speed of serving meals.

While serving the dishes, Masato Nashima kept introducing the ingredients and methods of the dishes.

This is also one of the characteristics of Omakase.

Taking advantage of the interval between serving dishes, Shang Dao Masato was also looking at Liu Minghui, a chef who was too young.

Not long ago, while changing guests, he went to the back kitchen.

But I didn't expect to see Yamada Tadahiro who felt lost.

That dazed look seemed to have received an unbearable blow.

Masato Nakashima asked in a deep voice: "Zhongguang, what's going on?"

"I didn't tell you to prepare challenges for the guests. How did you make yourself like this?"

"What does it look like to be muddled, cheer up quickly."

"The front chef still has some work for you to deal with."

Hearing Nashima Masato's voice, Yamada Tadahiro finally came to his senses and said:
"I'm very sorry, Master Shangdao."

"The guests who came to challenge this time are really scary."

"My cooking has been criticized in every detail, but I can't find any reason to refute it."

"The other party taught me directly on the spot, showing me what is called perfect cooking."

"Just tasting it gives me something."

"I was addicted to it for a while, and I forgot the time."

"It's really unimaginably terrible cooking skills."

"I will adjust my status as soon as possible and return to work."

"Please rest assured, I will never let my status affect the user's dining experience."

Don't do your best?
Yamada Tadahiro did not dare.

You must know that it is the man you will face next.

Even if he tried his best, he would never be satisfied.

Not to mention negligence?

Masato Shangjima was a little surprised.

He knows the strength of his personal disciple best.

Being able to shock him to the situation in front of him undoubtedly shows that the other party's cooking level is extremely terrifying.

Talking nonsense in front of yourself?
Even Tadahiro Yamada didn't dare.

In Sakura Country, disobedience to the master is a very serious matter.

Masato Naujima felt a little regretful for a moment.

I didn't expect that I was just a negligence, and I missed the opportunity to compete with the master.

If I had known that the opponent's strength was so terrifying, I should have taken action myself just now.

Fortunately.

There is still a chance of salvation.

Masato Naoshima's eyes shone with excitement, and he finally met a guest who was worthy of his best effort.

The handsome young man who looked the most innocuous was the target.

The more powerful the opponent is, the more excited Naojima Masato will be.

Thinking of this, Nashima Masato said to Yamada Tadahiro: "I don't need your help with the cooking that is waiting for me."

"I haven't felt this kind of excitement for a long time. I will do it all by myself."

Yamada Tadahiro said with some surprise: "Master, that's a meal for seven people."

"If you are alone, it will be a little difficult."

Masato Shangdao shook his head and said, "You underestimate my strength too much."

"It's just seven people, there is no pressure for me at all."

"Okay, I won't disturb your thinking either."

"Cooking requires more thinking and reflection to improve."

This is also the reason why he pays attention to Liu Minghui.

If Liu Minghui is really a very good cook, he will naturally attract Masato Shangdao's attention.

The first appetizer was black truffle mashed potatoes.

Golden mashed potatoes are sprinkled with finely chopped black truffles.

Served in a small delicate bowl, it looks very attractive
Unique aroma of black truffle.

Gives unpretentious mashed potatoes a premium feel.

Foodstuffs are priceless.

It's just that humans have given them different values.

Masato Nakashima was very bold and actually chose mashed potatoes as an appetizer.

After all, Shangdao Xiansheng is a high-end restaurant.

If it causes customer dissatisfaction, it will not be worth the candle.

However, mashed potatoes are just right for everyone who has been hungry for a long time, and can satisfy their stomachs a little.

Liu Minghui naturally has no prejudice against food.

He picked up the spoon and ate it straight away.

The mashed potatoes are ice cold and taste like ice cream.

Soft and delicate, with a hint of milky aroma.

Slowly melt with the temperature of the mouth.

The experience was nothing like real ice cream.

The fragrance of black truffle is more like the finishing touch, which makes people feel very comfortable.

It also stimulated everyone's appetite, making people want to enjoy the next dish.

As an appetizer, this black truffle mashed potato is undoubtedly a winning dish.

Najima Masato's pacing is great.

When everyone had just finished the first appetizer.

The second appetizer has also been prepared and placed in front of everyone.

This is a large Australian abalone steamed with wine.

Liu Minghui was also polite, he picked up the abalone and put it in his mouth.

The abalone is springy and chewy.

In addition to the unique deliciousness of seafood, there is also a faint aroma of wine.

The alcohol will volatilize during the cooking process, leaving the aroma of the wine and making the whole abalone more mellow.

This dish uses very high-quality abalone, which is quite satisfactory overall, but it is also very good.

Enjoying two delicious dishes in succession also changed Liu Minghui's view of Shangdao Xiansheng.

At least the chef's level is quite good.

After two appetizers, the taste buds are gradually opened.

Everyone is looking forward to the next meal.

Following the order of cherry ingredients, it’s time to enjoy the sashimi.

At the beginning, most of the fresh ingredients that Masato Shangjima showed to everyone were used in sashimi and sushi.

Sashimi has very high requirements on the chef's knife skills.

Every detail will affect the taste of sashimi.

Masato Naoshima's hands were very steady.

Under his continuous cutting, all kinds of sashimi were brought up.

He will also pay attention to the most delicious way to eat each kind of sashimi.

Masato Shangjima's sword skills are undoubtedly very good.

Quick and accurate.

Take full advantage of the characteristics of each ingredient.

The sashimi of golden-eye sea bream is tender and quite delicate.

Just chew it gently to feel the most delicious taste of the fish.

The fresh peony shrimp is even more outstanding.

The peony shrimp just fished out of the pool are jumping alive.

After the quick slaughter, it was directly served on the dining table.

The prawn meat was still beating slightly, which looked tempting and cruel at the same time.

However, everyone here except Liu Minghui is from the country of Cherry Blossom, and they have long been familiar with this kind of cuisine.

He took it into his mouth without hesitation.

The extremely fresh peony shrimp has a very firm texture.

You can even feel the shrimp beating in your mouth when you eat it.

This was followed by a platter of bluefin tuna.

They were loaded with bluefin tuna naked and belly.

The naked meat has been salted with soy sauce in advance, the taste is just right, and there is no need to dip it again.

One bite is the ultimate taste bud enjoyment.

Potbelly meat is very rich in fat.

Even so much that it is difficult to absorb it when dipped in soy sauce.

Put it in your mouth and feel the unique oil of fish gradually melting in your mouth.

It is a very unique taste bud experience.

The last is a live arctic shellfish.

Both freshness and sweetness are very high.

The dipping sauce will destroy its unique taste.

It only needs to be served with a little yuzu salt to stimulate the original and refreshing sea flavor in arctic shellfish.
