Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Although he was a little annoyed by Zhu Lin's teasing just now, after all, what Yongshan Kozo said was a serious matter, and it was directly linked to his own vested interests.

Anyway, Zhu Lin is here, and he won't be able to go back in the short term. There is plenty of time to spare, not less than a day and a half.

And there are too many people here, so it's not suitable for being gentle.

But Jiyong Sayuri's side is probably very difficult to deal with, and they asked her to go by name, if she doesn't go, it will be obvious that she will not give face, which is a form of enmity.

So after thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang decided to put public affairs first and then private affairs, and go to settle Sayuri Yoshinaga first.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of Zhu Lin's room.

"Come in." Zhu Lin trembled inside, "The door is unlocked."

Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows. He didn't know whether Zhu Lin was really nervous or pretended to be nervous, but the vibrato was really good.

This feeling of wanting to refuse and welcome, let alone, is really exciting.

It's a pity, now is not the time, otherwise, hehehe.

After opening the door and entering, Cao Zhiqiang found that Zhu Lin was sitting by the bed, his coat had been taken off, and he was only wearing an off-white cashmere sweater and navy blue long johns, which made her figure even more attractive.

It has to be said that at this time, Chinese people generally do not have the habit of wearing pajamas at home. Generally, they wear ordinary trousers at home as they do outside.

Long johns are actually similar to the warm pants of later generations. They are worn inside, and other pants are worn outside, which can play a good role in keeping warm.

But foreigners, especially in developed countries, generally don’t wear long johns. It’s not that they don’t know about long johns, and it’s not that they don’t wear them all, but generally speaking, they don’t need them.

Because in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, in winter, there are many heating equipment and strong heating capacity, and generally they seldom go out. Once they go out, they mostly use cars or buses, and they don’t need long johns.

Then there's the cultural issue.

Let’s just talk about Japan. According to Cao Zhiqiang’s observation, young people in Japan basically don’t wear long johns in winter. At most, they have thicker socks and thicker trousers, or put warm knee pads on their knees.

Young people, if you wear long johns, you will be laughed at.

This kind of atmosphere makes Japanese young people not wear long johns no matter how cold it is, and would rather not wear bare legs.

But the elderly in Japan wear autumn clothes and long johns, especially those who often go out.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang believes that whether to wear long johns or not depends mainly on economic conditions.

The economic conditions are good, and there are more heating methods, such as thicker pants, thicker socks, and there are many vehicles with heating facilities such as cars and buses. Naturally, you don’t have to worry about getting too cold when you go out, and it’s okay not to wear long johns.

But if your economic conditions are poor and you basically rely on your legs to go out, such as walking and cycling, then it is indeed necessary to wear long johns.

In fact, in China in the 21st century, especially after 2023, many young people will stop wearing long johns in winter and wear thermal underwear instead.

Of course, the Japanese at that time also wore thermal underwear.

As for the Japanese nowadays, they don't wear thermal underwear or autumn clothes, but they wear sweaters inside.

Well, it is not accurate to say sweater, it should be said that it is the kind of cashmere or cotton fleece that can directly touch the skin, also called bottoming shirt.

Bottom shirts are actually similar to Chinese long johns, but they are more high-end.

It’s just that, the Japanese basically only wear bottoming shirts in winter, but don’t wear leggings, no matter how cold they are, they don’t wear them when their legs shake from the cold, and they wear stockings at most. This is in line with their culture Tradition has something to do with the social atmosphere.

In fact, in Cao Zhiqiang’s opinion, it’s fine to wear autumn clothes in winter. The key is that autumn trousers, that is, leggings, must be worn.

Because from the perspective of health preservation, when it is cold, the most important place to keep warm is the legs and feet, and there are ways to keep warm on the upper body, such as cotton-padded down jackets and the like.

But there is no way, people in Japan are like this.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang did not have the habit of following the Romans. He would wear long johns when it was cold.

There are also leggings similar to long johns here in Japan. They are generally made of pure cotton, but there are also cashmere, satin, and composite fiber.

Like this kind of leggings, many Japanese people buy them to wear at home, and rarely put on pants outside, and then wear them out together.

Only people like Cao Zhiqiang go out in Japanese long johns.

But don't mention it, wearing long johns and then wearing jeans is really warm.

But there is one thing, after wearing long johns, it will look bloated, unattractive, and not attractive enough.

Also, legs in long johns are not as good-looking as those in stockings, and they are so easy to touch.

Seemingly realizing that Cao Zhiqiang had been staring at her legs, Zhu Lin's blushing face turned even redder.

"Cao Zhiqiang, where are you looking?" Zhu Lin rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, who was so charming.

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang come back to his senses, took a deep breath, walked over with a smile and said, "I'm looking at your legs!"

Zhu Lin stared at Cao Zhiqiang fiercely, and spat: "Bah, you can't learn well at such a young age!"

Cao Zhiqiang walked over with a smile, sat next to Zhu Lin, and hugged Zhu Lin, who then lay down in Cao Zhiqiang's arms, breathing heavily.

Cao Zhiqiang hugged Zhu Lin's shoulders while stroking her soft hair, took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good!"

Zhu Lin pinched Cao Zhiqiang's arm lightly angrily, but she didn't do anything else. Instead, she hugged Cao Zhiqiang with her backhand.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Sister Zhu, what else can I learn in front of you? And if I really learn well, you should be disappointed."

"You still say?" Zhu Lin twisted Cao Zhiqiang again angrily, "Slick tongue!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Okay, to be serious, I may not be able to be gentle with you now, there is something very important, I must go there in person."

Zhu Lin was taken aback, straightened up quickly, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, what happened? Is it serious?"

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "Well, it's hard to say whether it's serious or not."

"If you can't say it, forget it." Zhu Lin shook her head, "I won't ask."

Cao Zhiqiang quickly said: "No, it's just that I wrote the script of a Japanese drama here, which is currently being filmed, and there is an actress here who plays a big role. She... By the way, you have heard of Sayuri Yoshinaga, right?"

"Sayuri Yoshinaga?" Zhu Lin was taken aback, "You mean, the Mucun Tahui in "The Strait"?"

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to realize who this so-called Mucun Duohui was.

Tae Makimura is the heroine in the Japanese movie "Straits", played by Sayuri Yoshinaga.

This movie, mainly set in the background of the opening of the Seikan Tunnel in Japan, starring Takakura Ken, Sayuri Yoshinaga, and Tomokazu Miura, was released in 1982, but it was introduced to domestic broadcasts in 1983 and was dubbed by the Shanghai Translation Studio.

At that time, after the film was introduced in China, the response was mediocre, far inferior to another film "Hunt" by Takakura Ken, but it made most Chinese people know the Japanese star Sayuri Yoshinaga for the first time.

Sayuri Yoshinaga's appearance in it captured a large number of young domestic audiences, and Zhu Lin, as a movie actor, is naturally no stranger to this.

Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang and Hao Shuwen went to watch the movie "The Strait" which was introduced into China, but he didn't pay much attention to the plot at the time, and just cared about it in private.

But no matter what, I probably still know Sayuri Yoshinaga played in it, and it seems that the character played is called Makimura Tae.

"That's right, that's the actress." Cao Zhiqiang nodded resolutely after thinking about it.

"Ah, that's a big star in Japan." Zhu Lin said, "Can I play a role in your play?"

"Well." Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, "Actually, I'm quite famous here, and I also have a bit of face. As for the specific situation, I will find an opportunity to tell you in detail later, but now I really have to go. They have made appointments. If I don't go, it means that I will lose face, and the consequences will be a bit serious."

"Then you go." Zhu Lin hurriedly said, "The big things are important, children's love and so on, the future will last forever, don't be in a hurry."

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang smile slightly, and hung Zhu Lin's nose with his fingers, "Why, you were in a hurry just now, and now you are pushing me away again? You changed your face so quickly?"

Zhu Lin cast an angry look at Cao Zhiqiang: "What are you talking about, who is in a hurry? I, I... In short, the business is important, you go to the board and do the business first."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, and stopped teasing Zhu Lin, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go socialize first, and you can figure it out on your own. If you have anything to do, just ask Xu Chun to do it. She is still very careful in handling things." of."

"Okay." Zhu Lin nodded, and then said suspiciously, "But I forgot to ask you, are you and that Xu Chun really okay?"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "What are you thinking? Xu Chun is one of my secretaries, we just have this kind of relationship, nothing else."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang added angrily, "No, you really think I'm a hungry person? Don't worry, I'm very picky about my appetite, and ordinary women don't like it.

Xu Chun is pretty good, but it's a pity that his body and appearance don't meet my aesthetics, so don't worry, we are fine, she is my employee, you can use her without worry. "

Only then did Zhu Lin breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good. Well, I don't want to interfere with you, I just feel that Xu Chun is not a simple person. If you can avoid provoking him, it's better not to provoke him."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, touched Zhu Lin's face again and said, "Don't worry, I'm shameless, if I have anything to do with others, at least in front of you, I will admit it and I won't lie.

So, Xu Chun and I really have nothing to do, so just rest assured. "

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand: "Okay, I'll go first, I'll come to Xu Chun if I have anything to do, and I'll come to you after I finish my work, that's all."

After saying goodbye to Zhu Lin, Cao Zhiqiang took a taxi and came to the Japanese grocery store mentioned by Kozo Nagayama.

When I came to the entrance of the Japanese food store, I found that the appearance here was antique, but the area was not small, and it looked like a high-end Japanese food store.

In fact, the Japanese food store is also divided into levels.

General Japanese grocery stores, in Japan, belong to the level of roadside stalls. They mainly supply foods such as ramen and fried goods, and the prices are not expensive.

Only this kind of high-end Japanese food store will appear all kinds of high-end sashimi.

For example, tuna sashimi, which is most admired by the Japanese, is generally only available in such Japanese food stores or large hotels. The main reason is that the price is too expensive.

In fact, the price of seafood sashimi in Japan at this time is not cheap at all. Compared with the price of sashimi in China in 2023, it will be higher. This is of course related to the price.

It is mainly Japanese aquatic products, most of which are exported. For example, China has since become the largest importer of Japanese aquatic products, maintaining more than 40.00% of Japanese aquatic products exports for a long time.

It's a pity that everything has changed since Xiaobenzi dared to be disgusting and dumped nuclear sewage into seawater. The country no longer imports Japanese aquatic products, causing the price of their aquatic products to plummet.

Of course, this is a story.

But now, apart from the high price, Japanese aquatic products do not have any major problems, at least they are much better than Japanese agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables.

Because Japan's agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits and rice are basically soaked in pesticides, but Japan's aquatic products are basically obtained from deep-sea fishing, and the aquaculture industry only accounts for a small part.

The large-scale farming of seafood is currently the strongest in Nordic countries such as Norway, and it will become the only one in China in the future.

Therefore, if we really want to talk about the damage to marine life, it has to be Japan. Regardless of the large number of people in China, compared with ocean fishing, at least for now, it is far inferior to Japan. Even in 2023, just talking about ocean fishing Quantity is not as good as Japan.

Not to mention the future, even now, Japan's marine catches are definitely number one in the world.

The reason why Japanese seafood is expensive is because it is not farmed.

Of course, there is no doubt that this kind of seafood caught in the ocean tastes better than farmed ones.

Therefore, seafood sashimi in high-end restaurants in Japan, at least in this period, is absolutely delicious.

Otherwise, the people of the world are not idiots.

Why is Japanese food so popular in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, becoming a representative of high-end food, but Chinese food is not?
It's not that the ingredients of Chinese food are not good, nor is the cooking technique bad, but that the eating habits are different, and the sashimi that is not as good as Japanese food has gimmicks.

High-end ingredients should use the simplest cooking techniques, which is the most reasonable.

The sashimi of Japanese food is actually eaten raw, and then all kinds of fancy things are made on the basis of raw food, which makes it seem particularly tall.

As for Chinese food, it has long passed the stage of eating raw, and it is generally not eaten raw. Even if it is eaten raw, it is mainly pickled, such as the raw pickled in the Chaoshan generation.

However, Japanese food is particular about keeping pace with the times. Before eating raw, in order to eliminate parasites and bacteria to the greatest extent, it will be frozen at minus [-] degrees for [-] hours before being thawed out.

In this way, the safety of Japanese ingredients is greatly improved, and after such a process, the taste is also better.

On the contrary, domestic raw pickles basically do not follow this process, which also leads to an extremely high incidence of parasitic diseases.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not that the Japanese food is so high-end, but that Japan entered the developed countries earlier, was exposed to scientific diet earlier, and introduced scientific diet into Japanese food earlier, that's all.

In fact, after China became rich, some raw Chinese food also needs to be frozen at minus [-] degrees for [-] hours before being used. Eating raw is also called sashimi.

This is the advantage of taking the first step, and the reason is the same as that of Western medicine.

Strictly speaking, western medicine should be called modern medicine. It is only the western countries that entered modern medicine first, which led to the latecomers in the eastern countries to call modern medicine western medicine.

In fact, Chinese medicine was also introduced into modern medicine later, and the curative effect is also very good, but it is a pity that this is also learned from Japan.

For example, here in Japan, there are currently a large number of traditional Chinese medicine, called Kampo medicine, which also introduces modern medicine, and its curative effect is good.

The only thing worthy of praise is that the Chinese medicine for Japanese adults is imported from China and improved by themselves, and they did not deny that it originated from China.

Unlike South Korea, where there is no skin and no face, they obviously introduced Chinese medicine, but insisted on calling it Korean medicine, and insisted that Chinese medicine stole Korean medicine, which is really speechless.

Of course, South Korea is still in the era of the military government, and there is no limit to it.

If it really comes to the period of the so-called Sixth Republic and becomes a democratically elected government, then there will be no lower limit for all kinds of things.

Therefore, democracy is not necessarily a good thing, the key depends on what is the core.

In any government, excessive freedom is a stretch, such as the kimchi country during the Sixth Republic, and the curry country after independence.

Nothing in the world is perfect, what is suitable is the best.

In comparison, Cao Zhiqiang still feels that his motherland is better.

Although generally speaking, the system in my home country may not be the best, but it is definitely the most suitable for the current national conditions.

When I think about it, I'm quite proud. (end of this chapter)
