Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1068 Meeting
Sumida Ward is the old town of Tokyo, where century-old shops and small and medium-sized enterprises are concentrated. Sumo culture is very popular here. It is home to the famous Tokyo Skytree, where the lifestyle of old Tokyo and modern entertainment are integrated.

The restaurant where Suzuki Toshifumi invited him to dinner was located in this area. Fortunately, the port area where Jiang Yan lived was not far from here. However, there was really a traffic jam in Tokyo at this time of night. Now the whole of Tokyo, including the entire Jiaobenji, has been affected by the stock market. You can no longer see people waving money and waiting for taxis on the street. On the contrary, second-hand shops have the best business in the whole of Tokyo. Now basically many people are tightening their belts.

But all this had nothing to do with Jiang Yan. On the contrary, the more miserable the chicken was, the happier Jiang Yan was. So while looking at the scenery along the way, Jiang Yan was also very happy, just like eating a popsicle in the dog days of summer, it was so refreshing.

"Old Wei, drive slower." Jiang Yan ordered.

Although it was Suzuki Toshifumi who invited me to dinner tonight, whether according to the rules of our Flower Growing Family or the rules of Jiaobenji, I am now a distinguished guest. Besides, this guy might become my subordinate in the future, so I still need to maintain the proper style.

The car drove for about half an hour and stopped at the door of an inconspicuous store. After parking the car, Lao Wei went to the back door and opened it for Jiang Yan and Zhang Tengfei attentively.

"Boss, that's Toshifumi Suzuki." After getting off the car, Zhang Tengfei saw a neatly-mannered man standing outside, and spoke to Jiang Yan.

At this time, Suzuki Toshifumi, who was standing outside the door waiting for Jiang Yan and his group, saw Zhang Tengfei and hurried over.

"Mr. Suzuki, this is the boss of our Datang International Investment Company, Mr. Jiang Yan." After he said this, the translator who accompanied him translated the sentence to Suzuki Toshifumi at the same time.

After introducing Jiang Yan, Zhang Tengfei spoke to Jiang Yan very formally.

"Boss, this is the current president of 7-11, Toshifumi Suzuki, Suzuki-san."

"Hello, Suzuki-san."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." However, when Suzuki Toshifumi addressed Jiang Yan, he couldn't help but use honorifics.

Japanese is mainly composed of 50 kana, and a word is composed of one or more kana. Japanese also has so-called honorifics, which are a form of language expression used to show respect, respect or politeness to others. This language phenomenon is an indispensable part of Japanese culture and reflects the value of respect for others in Japanese society.

Honorifics are divided into four types: honorifics, self-deprecating, solemn, and beautifying. Honorifics are one of the most common forms of honorifics in Japanese, used to express respect for elders, superiors, or people who are not sure whether they are older than oneself. Self-deprecating is to express one's modesty and lowliness to show respect for the other party.

Since Jiang Yan had no problem with the size of his company or its current status, there was no problem for Suzuki Toshifumi to use honorifics. As for the traditional respect for seniors in the face of absolute strength, these were basically minor details. This was also the way Suzuki Toshifumi lowered his posture.

Because, Suzuki Toshifumi knew that Jiang Yan had a very clear understanding of the investigation of Datang Investment Company. All those who invested in Datang Investment Company had made some small profits in the stock market crash. Compared with those bankrupt companies, Datang Investment Company was a standout in the entire investment community of Jiaobenji. Many people wanted to know this "God and Demon Hand" who was circulated in the Jiaobenji investment community.

To be honest, Jiang Yan was quite confused when he heard his nickname, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. After all, the second-child attribute of the foot basin chicken has existed since ancient times, otherwise where did so many second-child nicknames in history come from.

"Jiang Sang, this shop is very famous in the whole of Tokyo. It has a history of 200 years. The owner of this shop is also known as the Roast Chicken Immortal. It is not easy to make an appointment with them."

The Chinese character "鸟" refers to flying birds in ancient Chinese and is a general term. The "birds" that the ancient Jiaobenji people could catch and roast were mainly quails, pigeons, ducks, geese, chickens and other poultry. Later, the Jiaobenji people used "roasted birds" to refer specifically to roasted chickens.

Of course, the current Jiaobenji Yakiniku restaurant does not only offer grilled chicken, but more accurately, it should refer to all ingredients grilled over charcoal. Jiaobenji people don't care whether you grill green onions, garlic, mushrooms, okra, shrimp, capelin, squid rolls, or saury. As long as it is grilled over charcoal, it can be called "yakiniku". "That is to taste the flavor here and see how it is different from those famous grilled skewers in our country."

Jiang Yan was a little dismissive of Suzuki Toshifumi's introduction. As someone who often came to Jiaoben Chicken, Jiang Yan understood that here, everything was exaggerated. Moreover, eating outside looked exquisite, but the portions were still quite small. You can imagine that a dozen people went out for a drink and ordered twenty skewers. If this happened in China, they would have ordered a whole table.

"Your country's food culture is also very long-standing, which is something that Foot Basin Chicken cannot compare to. However, every place has its own characteristics, so Foot Basin Chicken also has many specialties to taste."

"Then I'll wait and see and taste the local flavor." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

The store is not big, only about 50 square meters, with only a dozen seats near the bar, and there is not even a private room. However, it seems that many famous small shops of Foot Basin Chicken are like this.

"Jiang Sang, please."

"Zhang-san, please."

After a few people sat down, Suzuki Toshifumi handed Jiang Yan a menu and said, "Jiang Sang, I have reserved this place for tonight. The food here is all fresh today. You can order whatever you want. All flavors are welcome. Tonight, we will be served by Yakitori Immortal."

After he said that, he gestured to the man standing there preparing the barbecue.

Jiang Yan also took a curious look. It must be said that his outfit was very shabby, but the arrogance on his face was another matter.

"Thank you, Suzuki-san." After thanking him, Jiang Yan took the menu and ordered some skewers at random.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to speak Japanese so fluently." Suzuki Toshifumi also spoke after ordering some food.

"After all, if you want to understand a country, learning their language is an essential process, and he can get first-hand information." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, Jiang Sang's words are quite clear."

"Mr. Jiang, this is our famous Daiginjo from Jiaobenji, which was previously supplied exclusively to the royal family." After saying this, Toshifumi Suzuki respectfully poured a glass of wine for Jiang Yan.

"Then I'd like to taste this so-called tribute wine." Jiang Yan smiled and drank the glass of wine he had just poured in one breath.

To be honest, up to now, Jiang Yan still can't get used to the so-called sake with chicken feet. In Jiang Yan's words, this stuff tastes bland and is not as refreshing as the Erguotou in China.

After the grilled skewers came up, Suzuki Toshifumi warmly treated Jiang Yan and the others to drinks and yakitori. During the conversation, they also talked a lot about local customs and practices. From this point, it can be seen that Suzuki Toshifumi is quite talkative.
