Chapter 259 Kaiseki cuisine

Starting from the origin of Kaiseki cuisine, Lai Liang spoke eloquently and nonstop.

It was at this time that Fu Chao and Xie Yu sneaked in from the door.

Although it is said to be "secretly", in fact, there were photographers following behind the two of them, and there were thousands of eyes staring at them in the live broadcast room, so how could it be considered "secretly"?
When Fu Chaoya bent down and slipped in, he happened to hear Lai Liang in front of him say -

"…So for real Kaiseki cuisine, taste is not the most important thing. It is a state that cannot be described in words…"

Fu Chao stood up straight instantly, almost unable to restrain his eyes rolling.

He murmured:
"It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not? Is that something a chef can say?"

He was so casual, but he didn't realize that the live broadcast room was about to explode:
[What Fu Chao said was a bit too much.]

[That’s right, what’s wrong with Mr. Lai being proud of his profession? ]

[Fu Chao is really disrespectful! So disappointing! ]

[It’s all Nanzhi’s fault. Fu Chao was fine before, but after meeting Nanzhi, he became like a possessed person! ]

……

Fortunately, Fu Chao has enough fans and strong fighting power, and they immediately came out to defend him:
[So this entertainment industry can no longer tolerate the truth? ]

[Yes, yes, we should praise your teacher Lai! ]

[I, Brother Fu, just can't stand it and I'm tough! What do you want? ]

[Brother Fu is a true man, he knows how to help his friends, some people should stop pretending to be fans and trying to stir up trouble here! I won't be fooled by you! ]

[I think what Fu Chao said makes sense. It's funny to hear a chef say that it doesn't matter whether the food tastes good or not. Isn't this a high-level PUA rhetoric? ]

……

The two sides fought back and forth and were evenly matched.

Fu Chao was completely unaware and he and Xie Yu found Nanzhi and Qi Peier in the crowd.

Fu Chao was about to raise his hand to poke Nanzhi's arm.

Nanzhi happened to look back:

"coming."

It's not surprising that they came.

Fu Chao looked at his finger suspiciously:
"how do you know……"

He scratched his head, feeling that this was not the time for casual chat, and swallowed his words back.

Nanzhi and Xie Yu looked at each other again, and they nodded to each other.

"What about the child?"

"I didn't bring them in because I was afraid they would make a fuss."

Nanzhi nodded to show that she understood, then turned around and continued listening.

Fu Chao was quite impressed:

"Thank goodness you guys are listening."

Qi Pei'er turned around and made an exaggerated expression of horror:
“The audience heard it!”

Fu Chao paused before slowly saying:

"I forgot."

But he didn't care.

Anyway, from the beginning, he clearly stood on Nanzhi's side and was determined to draw a clear line between himself and Lai Liang. After a moment of silence, Fu Chao couldn't help but ask:
"Why is he the only one talking? Zhizhi, aren't you going up?"

Before Nanzhi could answer, Qi Peier rolled her eyes:
"They say 'Kaiseki cuisine focuses on freshness and is made on the spot, requiring the customer to experience the entire process with a calm mind'! Well, let's wait for them to finish."

The word "搞" can be said to be very spiritual.

Fu Chao looked at Qi Pei'er speechlessly:
Remind him? Her attitude is not that good!

But...

Well done!

After talking for a long time, Lai Liang finally finished his long opening remarks before the children started yawning.

He attached great importance to the sense of ceremony and actually wrote dozens of menus with a brush, writing them with gold ink on plain black paper, with every stroke being as precise as iron and silver.

Lai Liang nodded politely, signaled his assistant to distribute them, and said that all the menus were written by him personally and were his greatest sincerity to the diners as a chef.

The assistant distributing the handwritten menu paused.

Isn't that "utmost sincerity"? He wrote for several hours and wasted countless amounts of paper and ink to achieve the requirements of Master Lai!

As for this behavior of taking credit for other people's work, the assistant said that he was used to it and it was just a small incident.

The handwritten menu really won a lot of favor.

In the live broadcast room with the largest number of viewers, many people said:
[The handwritten menu is really a ceremonial experience! ]

[I like these details when I eat Japanese food. In comparison, Chinese food is a bit too rough. ]

[Hey, so the orthodox tradition is in Country R. Although they learned from us back then, we have to admit that they have preserved it better than us, compared to the restless people in China...]

[Lai Liang's calligraphy is very beautiful. It can be seen that he is well-read and cultured. He is really an all-round male god! ]

[What does this menu mean? I don’t have enough knowledge to understand. Please help me! ]

[These should be unique dish names, but their specific meanings are unclear. ]

……

It doesn’t matter if the audience doesn’t know, Lai Liang will never miss the opportunity to popularize science.

So, the whole cafeteria was filled with Lai Liang's voice talking——

"This is 'pay first', which means snacks before the formal banquet. It is porridge cooked with puffer fish, and only a little white salt is added for seasoning. The puffer fish is extremely fresh, and the white salt is an ancient salt purified by craftsmen with exquisite techniques. The rice has a special origin. It was specially airlifted from Country R. It is grown for the emperor and is a tribute to God..."

"The next step is 'mukaitsu', which means sashimi, which is the most indispensable part of Kaiseki cuisine. I chose tuna, the most famous sashimi fish, which comes from the waters of Cape Oma, the northernmost cape of Country R. Only the tuna produced here is the best in the world..."

"This is 'Mu Wan', which represents the space of the universe. The soup represents the chaotic state of the universe. The floating objects represent Mercury. This is also a seasonal dish..."

"This sushi is one of my specialties. Some people call it sinking air sushi. After it is made, it will automatically sink three millimeters. This requires the vinegar rice to wrap the air..."

Lai Liang was like an excellent and professional speaker, describing the origin of each dish in a rhythmic voice.

He spoke in such a fantastic way that even his ordinary cooking skills became colorful and brilliant, and human imagination gave it a beautiful coat.

In addition, he also specially arranged the surrounding environment.

Freshly picked wild flowers and grasses are used as decorations, and rough yet exquisite pottery is used as utensils. The movements are familiar and smooth, and it seems as if nothing is done...

I have to say that from a visual perspective, it does have its own rhythm and tempo.

Sure enough, everyone, whether they were present or the audience, were quickly attracted.

Even the little kids, who are usually distracted, were watching with full concentration.

At the same time, as Lai Liang explained every aspect of the menu, the dishes flowed out like water, centered around him.

This time, Lai Liang was finally generous and didn't just give out a few slices of fish. Almost everyone present could taste his cooking!
