Don't follow the rules

An Han pushed up his glasses: "Although all the expenses for this trip will be reimbursed by the association, we can't waste food for no reason."

"Don't worry!" No. 1 waved his little fist, "Eat all of them and never waste them!"

"You're very energetic." Du Jingxiu smiled in appreciation.

"Okay, let me see. The first one on the recommendation page is Kobe Wagyu?" Ning Yao was surprised. "Good guy, it's such a hard dish. Can you handle it?"

An Han also saw the first restaurant on the recommended homepage: "Judging from the route, the cruise ship just passed by the Neon Sea. It must have purchased a large amount of fresh Wagyu beef when it docked there. Now is the best time to appreciate the ingredients, so this Only a Japanese food store will be promoted to the first column of the recommendation page.”

No. 1's eyes shone brightly, and he kept repeating the only key point he got: "The best tasting period!"

Ning Yao made the decision: "Okay! I happily decided that our first meal on board the ship will be Kobe Wagyu beef!"

"You're lucky on the 1st. This store is in the building where we are now. Just take the elevator up." An Han put away the map on his phone.

"Go, go, go!" No. 1 ran at the front excitedly.

Ning Yao was about to raise her legs to follow, but belatedly realized that they didn't seem to ask Du Jingxiu for his opinion on the meal.

"Um, you eat Japanese food, right?" He quickly added.

Du Jingxiu nodded slightly: "I'm not picky about food."

"That's good." Ning Yao was very satisfied with his knowledge.

Ding Dong

The panoramic and transparent sightseeing elevator arrived at the floor where Ning Yao and his party were located. A young man with his head lowered, his arms full of folders, and his mobile phone under his shoulder while making a call walked out of it hurriedly.

Inadvertently, he collided with the excited Little Potato No. 1, and the documents flew all over the floor.

"Ah! Not good!" The young man was visibly panicked. He didn't care about the crisp suit he was wearing. He hurriedly lay on the ground and held down the documents, as if he was worried that the documents would fly away and that someone would see him.

Ning Yao and An Han hurried forward, apologizing for No. 1 while helping the young man pick up documents.

"Sorry, the kid was very excited when he first got on the boat. We didn't hold him back. I'm so sorry." An Han said.

"No, it doesn't matter... I didn't look at the road myself..." The young man lowered his head and did not intend to get too entangled with An Han.

The documents were quickly packed up, and the young man thanked him in a low voice and left quickly.

"What a pity~" Ning Yao put her hands on her hips, shook her head and said sympathetically, "It's so pitiful. You have to be busy working on this luxury cruise ship that is specially used for vacations. It is the most miserable thing in the world."

An Han glanced at him: "What about the second most miserable thing?"

"It's love that can't be achieved." Ning Yao pretended to be meditating, but only received a blank stare from An Han and No. 1.

After the interlude, everyone successfully arrived at the target Japanese food store according to the navigation.

"Oh...what? What kind of foreign nonsense is the name of the store?" Ning Yao struggled to distinguish the letters on the signboard.

"It's 'omakase', which probably means that the menu is decided by the store itself. What the chef does is what the customer eats. This is not their store name. The store name is the Chinese characters on the lantern." An Han explained.

Ning Yao curled her lips disdainfully: "That's quite impressive, but if they don't give us beef today, wouldn't this trip be in vain?"

An Han smiled: "Don't worry, since Wagyu is their signature here, it will definitely be served as the main course. The omakase format is largely to prevent guests from missing out on delicious food if they are not good at ordering. Just leave professional matters to professionals.”

"It's best like this." Ning Yao hummed.

There are many restaurants on cruise ships, covering all cuisines from all over the world, but they can be roughly divided into two categories.

One type is a popular restaurant that you can enjoy for free with your boat ticket, and the other type is a high-end restaurant that requires an additional fee.

The restaurant Ning Yao and the others chose focuses on Kobe Wagyu beef and is obviously a high-end Japanese food store. We were greeted by the waiter and taken to a private room with neon characteristics.

Although it is a restaurant, you can vaguely smell the faint fragrance of wood while walking, making you feel as if you are walking into a library.

Everyone sat down, and the waiter stood chattering as if to introduce something, then closed the sliding door and entered the waiting time.

Ning Yao stretched her neck and looked around: "In this private room, there is only such a small window that can see the outdoors?"

"Otherwise? Private rooms are about privacy. What do you want to see?" An Han asked back.

"No, you don't understand what I mean," Ning Yao gestured, "This restaurant is on the highest floor of this building, right?"

"Yes." An Han nodded.

"Generally speaking, the reason for choosing the highest floor is to have a superior view, right? Now that the building is so tight, what's the difference between opening a store on the first floor?"

"It seems..." An Han was stunned. "You are right."

No. 1 knocked on the table: "When will the food be served?"

Du Jingxiu smiled and handed a candy to No. 1: "It will be served soon, eat this first to cushion it."

Ning Yao grabbed the candy: "Eating candy before a meal will turn off your appetite, and you won't be able to eat it when the food comes."

An Han: "...So this is the reason why you snatch candy from children?"

Ning Yao: "No one involved has any objections. You are the only one who talks more."

While the two were bickering, the door to the private room was gently pushed open. The waiter knelt down by the door with a dinner plate and served the first dish.

Generally, restaurants that are very confident in their own meat ingredients can't help but show off their appetizers, such as the small plate of raw beef in front of them.

Ning Yao picked up a piece with chopsticks: "This isn't even mature, is it?"

An Han dipped the slices of meat into the shredded cheese and roasted green peppers on the plate: "Yeah, pure raw."

Ning Yao slowly ate the piece of meat he picked up and commented: "It tastes like eel."

No. 1 couldn't wait to imitate the adults, sandwiching a large piece of meat, covering it with shredded cheese, served with shredded green peppers, and stuffed his mouth full.

"Hmm!" No. 1's eyes lit up.

"Uh-huh! It's delicious!" His mouth was so full that he had no time to say more.

Ning Yao couldn't eat it: "Although it's not unpalatable, I don't think it's very delicious. Isn't it just raw meat?"

An Han took another small piece and tasted it carefully: "The meat quality is indeed good, and the fat part is like butter that melts in the mouth."

Du Jingxiu recommended Ning Yao to change the dipping dish: "If you are not used to eating cheese and green peppers, you might as well try this plate of chopped black truffles."

Ning Yao ate another piece of meat with hesitation.

"How is it?" Du Jingxiu looked at him expectantly.

"It's not that good," Ning Yao said with a grin, "It smells like beef dumpling stuffing that smells like gasoline."

"If you don't know how to eat, don't eat. It's a waste of food." No. 1 snatched the meat plate in front of him.
