I don't really spray people.

Chapter 219 Practice on the tip of the tongue
The first stop of the trip, R Ben.The destination this time, Fukuoka and Hokkaido, has a total of four restaurants.

The main task of going to the local area is to taste the restaurants recommended by Adam to them, and the secondary task...you can see the scenery in the local area, soak in the hot springs, experience the local customs and so on.

Because the goal is very clear, this trip will only take two days and will not affect their live broadcast.

What's more, when visiting stores abroad, it can also be broadcast live.

After arriving in Fukuoka, Bai Renzong took Han Jiayi out of the airport and looked around.

"Wow, it feels like I'm in an anime..." Bai Renzong said to himself with a smile.

When he came abroad for the first time, Bai Renzong thought that he would panic, after all, he went to a completely strange place, but in fact he was fine.

Maybe it's because I watch too many anime.

"Don't run around, you're abroad." Han Jiayi stepped forward to hold his hand, "Follow me, don't get lost."

"Lao Bai, start the broadcast!" Wang Bei raised the camera and smiled cheerfully, waving to Wang Nan behind him, "Old Wang, follow!"

"Come on..." Wang Nan pulled everyone's two boxes of luggage at the end alone.

At this moment, Bai Renzong turned to the camera and introduced: "Audience friends, today we came to R, and the first stop was Fukuoka. Our destination is a restaurant called 'Nagahama House'. This restaurant is a local A very famous restaurant was recommended to me by Chef Adam of Eleven-Park, let's go and see what his vision is. Let's go!"

With that said, Bai Renzong walked forward quickly, Wang Bei handed the camera to Han Jiayi, and she was in charge of being the interpreter.

"Do you know what are the specialties of Fukuoka? Mackerel, and what else?" Bai Renzong smiled at the camera in Han Jiayi's hand, "Hey, I saw a guess in the barrage. That's right, it's mentaiko. It’s pollack roe. But what’s interesting is that this stuff actually came from country H.”

Barrage: "Then why don't you go to country H?"

"What is there to do in country H?" Bai Renzong asked in confusion, "It's not that I look down on it, but the food culture in this country is really poor, and there is nothing to taste. Then you know, why the food culture in country H Is it so backward? There is actually a reason for this. Everyone thinks, cooking, what do you have? Pots and spatulas, all of which require iron smelting.”

"At that time, the iron smelting technology in Koryo was relatively backward. Without iron, what could be used? Casserole, so that's how the stone pot rice came. Even the iron is lacking like this, let alone the meat. .”

"But everyone should know that the umami flavor in things like meat comes from amino acid salts and nucleotides. Hey, this kind of amino acid salts and nucleotides can also be produced when pickling soybeans and vegetables, so Kimchi and doenjang developed rapidly in their country as an 'umami agent' instead of meat, and then passed down."

"Later, Goryeo was occupied by Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty, and the barbecue customs there continued to country H. Therefore, the representative food of country H is barbecue and kimchi. As for other dishes...just changed They are different, but their seasoning habits are very monotonous, most of them are sweet and spicy, this is due to the limited seasoning on the one hand, and the special local climate on the other hand, which makes them like to eat spicy food to sweat.”

"Of course, it's not that they don't have food culture, but that they are too barren compared to the world's mainstream food cultures such as Chinese cuisine, Italian cuisine, and French cuisine, and it's not worth my special trip."

Barrage: "To put it simply, there are too few delicious foods." "I eat instant noodles, kimchi, and barbecue." "The army pot is made from the unwanted things picked up from the beautiful country's army back then. .”

"Hey, that's an extreme statement. Everyone should look at the food cultures of various countries rationally and objectively." Bai Renzong expressed his views objectively and neutrally, "If time and funds are not affected, of course I hope that every country will go. But the reality is that I can only pick some more representative cultures, and then choose some more famous restaurants to show to everyone.”

On the way to the destination, Bai Renzong showed everyone the street view of Fukuoka.

"To be honest, I don't think this place is very developed." Bai Renzong held Han Jiayi and smiled, "It's not as good as our country's first-tier cities, or even some second-tier cities. The streets are so narrow..."

"It's just such a small place." Han Jiayi said with a smile, "Hey, husband, after we went to Hokkaido to explore the shop, how about taking some time to go to the hot springs together? It's rare to come here."

"Of course, do you still think you can escape?" Bai Renzong scratched her nose and teased.

"Then it's settled!" Han Jiayi happily leaned on his shoulder.

Next, Wang Bei stopped a taxi and went to their destination.

"Nagahama House".

"Friends in the audience, it's pretty fast." Bai Renzong looked at the camera after getting out of the car and said, "After all, this country is about the same size as our province."

Then, the camera in his hand aimed at the sign above his head: "Here, everyone, look at Nagahama House. So what is the signature dish of this restaurant? Mackerel. That's right, as I told you before, one of Fukuoka's specialties , Mackerel. This restaurant only serves mackerel, and it is very famous in the local area. This restaurant is also Michelin three-star, and generally only accepts reservations, but..."

As he said that, Bai Renzong looked at the old man standing in front of the stove in the store. He was about 60 years old, with dark skin and wrinkles on his face that seemed to be carved out by a knife. He looked very strict. People, it's scary.

After Bai Renzong entered the store, he asked Wang Bei to help him say hello, and then gave the "token" given to him by Ria, a gold-encrusted business card, and gave it to the boss to have a look.The other party raised his eyebrows in surprise, then took a look at Bai Renzong, and said a few words in Japanese.

"He said that Adam Sang rarely gave such a high praise to a person. Today he must see with his own eyes how powerful you are." Wang Bei translated to Bai Renzong, and then explained: "R is here for These skilled cooks are also very respected, so Adam should be respected here."

Reminiscent of Adam's expression when he begged himself to promote him, Bai Renzong felt a little ashamed.

Immediately, the boss took them to the store and sat down.

In fact, the space in the store is very narrow. Although there are two floors, there are only five tables on each floor, which is not bad for twenty people.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and because it was not the peak dining period, they were the only customers in the store.

However, the environment in the store is really quiet and clean, and there is a three-star Michelin sign behind the boss.

"Then... order the signature flax mackerel, and then a set meal of salt-baked mackerel." Bai Renzong looked at the menu and said.

"I want a raw mackerel set meal and a mackerel perilla roll." Han Jiayi said with a smile.

"Can I order two of them all?" Wang Nan said a little embarrassedly, "I eat a lot, and R's meals are relatively small..."

"Just one serving, I'll eat something else later." Wang Bei frowned, and then translated with the boss.

"Hi yo." The boss responded and began to prepare on the spot.

While the boss was preparing, Bai Renzong chatted with the barrage.

"You like me to introduce the local food culture to you just now?" Bai Renzong looked at the bullet screen and smiled, "Okay, let me tell you again, anyway, I still have to prepare for a while. Then, everyone should know that R This is an island country, a long time ago seafood was the main food item in their food list, vegetables were extremely expensive, and meat wasn’t much to eat.”

"What does this lead to? R himself was very short before. So at that time they were called Japanese pirates. Japanese are short, they follow people and committees, and dwarves. For example, what is the height of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period that R originally blew up? What? Tokugawa Ieyasu is 1.5 meters six, Date Masamune is 1.5 meters nine, Sanada Yukimura is 1.6 meters three, and Oda Nobunaga is the tallest at 1.6 meters six."

Barrage: "Isn't this too short?" "This is the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. You can really boast..." "This is the power of cultural output."

"But they are already tall." Bai Renzong explained in detail: "At that time, their average height was 1.3 meters, while the average height of our country was 1.7 meters at the same time. Like our famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yunhe Zhuge Liang was 1.8 meters five, and Guan Yu and Lu Buna were even more than two meters tall. It wasn’t until R Ben began to promote drinking milk across the country that the per capita height slowly rose.”

Barrage: "Interesting." "I like Lao Bai to listen to Lao Bai's introduction." "The minister seconded." "+1!"

"Okay, I'll tell you more later." Bai Renzong said with a smile, and then added, "I'm not looking down on anyone by saying this? It's just an objective exposition of history. These are real data, not made up by me."

Barrage: "The desire to survive is extremely strong."

There are still advantages in foreign countries. People can't understand what I say, so I can speak freely.

Chatting with the barrage here, and the food is also served there.

Bai Renzong first looked at the mackerel, and his heart sank, a little disappointed: "Isn't this just sashimi?"

A small round plate with seven slices of mackerel in a circle, garnished with some green vegetables, a lump of wasabi sauce in the center of the fish, and a slice of lemon.

To be honest, Bai Renzong doesn't like the cooking method of sashimi, because it feels that there is no technical content, it is nothing more than cutting the fish into thin slices to highlight the umami flavor of the seafood itself, and the sauce is just a foil.

However, the flax mackerel in front of me seems a bit mysterious, with a sauce that looks like sesame paste, and a lot of white granular substances are sprinkled on it, soaked in the sauce, and it is impossible to tell whether it is garlic or peanuts.

Then, his salt-grilled mackerel set meal was also served, a whole salt-grilled mackerel, a bowl of razor miso soup and an egg roll.

"Then, anyway, let's try the sashimi first." Bai Renzong said, picked up a piece of flax mackerel, dipped it in some wasabi and ate it.

"I'm sorry..." Bai Renzong lowered his head solemnly, and explained to the camera: "I shouldn't underestimate the cooking culture of other countries. This is a very arrogant behavior, and I was taught a lesson."

As he said, Bai Renzong pointed the camera at the plate of flax mackerel: "First of all, let me talk about this sauce. I found out that the wasabi sauce I ate in China was not the authentic horseradish sauce at all, but a counterfeit made of horseradish. Do you know that real wasabi has a soft taste? It’s a bit choking, but it’s not as irritating to the tongue as domestic horseradish sauce.”

At this time, the boss explained to him from the side, and Wang Bei helped him translate: "He said, what you buy is fake wasabi sauce, and the real wasabi has a very soft taste. They use high-grade wasabi in their store. One piece costs more than 1000 yuan, and grinding wasabi requires a special tool, which is a kind of grinding board made of shark skin."

The boss also deliberately took out the grinding board and showed it to Bai Renzong. It looks a bit like a square table tennis racket, and there are rough particles on the square part in front.

"Oh, that's it..." Bai Renzong was stunned, and then sighed: "I really learned."

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little rejoicing in his heart: it was great to come out this trip, as expected, he had to see the outside world before he could break through his current limitations.

"However, it's not just the difference between wasabi." Bai Renzong frowned, "let me talk about the sauce first. Besides wasabi, this brown sauce is made of sesame paste and soy sauce, but it's from their side A kind of soy sauce specially used for eating sushi and sashimi, called vinegar soy sauce, and then filled with peanuts and sesame seeds..."

Wang Bei translated what Bai Renzong said to the boss, and the boss just nodded silently.

But then Bai Renzong murmured: "No, there is another ingredient in it... I know it tastes like a pear, but it's a little thinner and doesn't have the graininess of a pear. This very refreshing sweetness ..."

The boss looked at him confidently, as if waiting for his answer.

"It's water chestnuts." After thinking for a while, Bai Renzong firmly gave his answer, "That's horseshoes."

As soon as the words came out, the boss widened his eyes in surprise, and then gave a thumbs up: "Oh! Si Guoyi."

"Hey, I understand this sentence." Bai Renzong smiled.

Barrage: "I understand it too.", "He's praising Lao Bai for his strength."

Then the boss explained, and Wang Bei helped him translate: "He said that water chestnuts are very rare in R. Later, I found that this material is very good with the taste of mackerel, which can perfectly eliminate the fishy smell, and at the same time provide a very elegant sweetness."

Bai Renzong shook his head: "No, the key to this dish is not here... Although the sauce is very well prepared, it is definitely not the sauce that makes this simple sashimi so outstanding. After eating it , like the taste of flowers blooming in the mouth, it is not at the same level as the sashimi I have eaten. This taste seems to be eaten somewhere, but it is a bit different."

Bai Renzong thought hard, but he still couldn't get the answer. He has no relevant knowledge, which shows that the mystery of this sashimi must not be the material used, but the cooking skills.

"I see." Han Jiayi secretly took a sip of his flax mackerel before replying, "It's saber flower!"
