It’s a pity that suitable hot pot base cannot be bought in Japan, so Uchiha Ming can only spend a lot of money and cook the soup base in his own way. Uchiha Ming fried two poached eggs in the pan, then poured the soup that had been simmering for the whole morning into the induction cooker, added a few peeled garlic cloves, and threw in the knotted shallots, and the hot pot soup base was ready. Next, let’s solemnly introduce the main dish of the hot pot, ten kilograms of marbled beef. It’s a pity that you can’t buy 5A grade Kobe beef in the stores near Uchiha Ming, otherwise Uchiha Ming wouldn’t be stingy with money. There are also a variety of meat and vegetables such as lamb, fresh shrimp, mushrooms, cabbage, konjac, tofu, etc. Vegetables in Japan are not cheaper than meat. We are able to prepare such a luxurious hot pot thanks to the generous sponsorship of President Hyodo! No, that's not right. The money that Uchiha Ming earned from Pachinko should naturally belong to him. Uchiha Ming cut the beef and mutton that had been frozen hard in the refrigerator into thin slices as thin as cicada wings and prepared the sauce. He picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup, which left a lingering fragrance in his mouth and was very delicious. So he picked up a large bone full of meat from the hot pot and put it on the plate under the table as a reward for Tsunayoshi.
When everything was ready and Uchiha Ming was about to start, the doorbell of the Uchiha family suddenly rang. Uchiha Ming knew who was coming from the crows on the electric pole outside the house, so he had no choice but to go over and open the door: "Aunt Namiru, how come you have time to come here? Xianmen is not at home." Chapter 202 Chapter 204 Immortalization (4k) "Clap clap clap." Crack the egg on the corner of the table, then beat it into a bowl with one hand, add a little sweet sauce for seasoning, and then stir evenly, and a layer of dipping sauce is ready. The hot pot was bubbling, with steam rising and the aroma of meat mixed together. The tender pink marbled beef changed color after tumbling a few times in the milky white soup. A pair of chopsticks scooped out a few pieces of beef from the hot pot, dipped them in the egg liquid a few times, and put them into the mouth. "good to eat!" Sakaki Namiryu narrowed her eyes and a happy smile unique to meat lovers appeared on her face. “Although it’s not Sukiyaki, the beef is boiled in a hot pot like this, and it has a different flavor compared to stewed beef.” She stretched out her chopsticks again to pick up the slice of beef, but Uchiha Ming unceremoniously opened it with his chopsticks. "Keep the raw and cooked chopsticks separate, Aunt Namiryu." "Mingzi, don't be as rigid as your brother-in-law. And you should call me sister Namiryu." Sakaki Namiryu said unconsciously. Uchiha Ming looked at Sakaki Namiya with disdain, and then used the serving chopsticks to eat half of the plate of beef. "Whoa whoa!" Sakaki Namiryu's eyes lit up, obviously shocked by Uchiha Ming's extravagant demeanor. Beef is not cheap. Even a relatively poor family like Chibi Maruko-chan's family would put some pork in their Sukiyaki to make up the amount. Sakaki Namie picked up the other bowl, blew on it, took a sip, sipped it a few times and said:
"This soup is so fresh and rich! It's even better than the soup of tonkotsu ramen." nonsense! Uchiha Ming raised his eyebrows, and a hint of complacency flashed in his eyes. His soup is made with old hens, ham and bones. If you add sea cucumbers, shark fins, abalone and other ingredients, you can make a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. No expense is spared, so of course the taste is extremely fresh and fragrant. The difference between Japanese beef hotpot Sukiyaki and Chinese hotpot lies in the soup. To make Sukiyaki, you first lubricate the pan with a little beef tallow, put the beef and green onions in and fry them until fragrant, add mirin soy sauce for seasoning, and finally add a little bit of water and vegetables, and mainly rely on the water from the vegetables to cook the ingredients together. The beef slices were cooked after a few boils in the pot. Uchiha Ming and Sakaki Namiryu picked up their chopsticks. There was plenty of beef and there was no need to fight for it. They both ate the meat with big mouthfuls and enjoyed it very much. Sakaki Namieru fished out a poached egg from the hot pot, took a bite, and commented: "Break the raw eggs and dip the beef in it. It will be even more delicious. Mingzi, do you want to try it too?" Sakaki Namiryu proudly showed Uchiha Ming the raw egg dipping sauce she had prepared. "Humph." Uchiha Ming glanced sideways, his face full of disapproval. Using raw egg liquid to pair with beef is also a major feature of Sukiyaki. Well, it should be considered a Japanese characteristic. The Japanese are famous for their love of eating rice with raw eggs. A bowl of steaming white rice, a raw egg, a little soy sauce and stir it together is a simple meal. Although these raw eggs are sterilized, Uchiha Ming has always felt that their safety is very questionable. He also cannot accept the sticky texture and fishy smell of raw eggs, so he has always declined them. "Mingzi, you are still the same as before. You don't eat raw eggs, natto, and miso. Can you still be considered Japanese?" Sakaki Namiryu said with regret in her tone, as if Uchiha Ming didn't know how to appreciate good things. Uchiha Ming curled his lips in disdain. "Aunt Namiryu, eat more, eat more." What Uchiha Ming meant was, can't this much beef fill your mouth? Shut up! "What a pity! There is such delicious beef but no wine! If I had known earlier, I would have brought a dozen beers myself." Sakaki Namiryu said with regret. Then she pushed the other meat and vegetables out. The scalding hot pot made Sakaki Nami sweat profusely. In the end, she held her stomach and groaned like an elder. Although Sakaki Namiryu is a physical education teacher and eats more than the average girl, she can't be compared with Uchiha Ming at all. Uchiha Ming cleaned up the dishes quickly. "Mingzi, when did your family start raising a dog?" Sakaki Namiryu, who had nothing to do after eating, started to torment the puppy Tsunayoshi who was gnawing on a bone under the table.
Tsunayoshi held the big meaty bone and licked it happily. He had eaten all the meat and cartilage on the bone, but he was reluctant to let go. "Oh, it's still a little male dog. Hasn't it been neutered yet?" Sakaki Namiryu casually pulled up one of Tsunayoshi's hind legs, took a look and smiled. "Wang?" Tsunayoshi obviously didn't expect that he would be attacked by the female devil. He quickly broke free from Sakaki Namiya's clutches, and hid at Uchiha Ming's feet with his tail between his legs, trembling. "Ha, this dog is really funny." Uchiha Ming was completely confused. When I was a child, Aunt Namiryu was a leader among the children in my hometown in Shizuoka Prefecture. Now she has evolved into a tomboy. Aunt Namiryu looks so much like my mother, could it be that my mother also has this kind of personality? Uchiha Ming couldn't help but shudder. He looked down at Tsunayoshi, who was whimpering at his feet with a look of grievance on his face, and put the several pieces of raw beef left on the plate into Tsunayoshi's food bowl. "Woof!" Tsunayoshi wagged his tail, lowered his head and wolfed down the food. "Mingzi, this puppy eats really well, and it even has beef." Sakaki Namie turned on the TV and walked around the living room to digest her food. Suddenly, she asked curiously: "With such good beef, this meal must cost a lot of money. How can you, a student, get so much money?" "I earned it by working." Uchiha Ming said without blinking. "How can the hourly wage of a part-time job be enough for you to squander like this?" Sakaki Namiryu asked suspiciously. Just at this moment, the TV suddenly broadcast a news report. A documentary recently released by the BBC caused a major earthquake in the Japanese entertainment industry, exposing the scandal in which Kitagawa, the founder of Japan's well-known male idol agency Johnny's, sexually assaulted and abused male artists under his agency. "Mingzi, are you going to be an idol trainee or work as a gigolo or something like that?" Sakaki Namuru said half-jokingly. The Uchiha family has good genes, and every one of the men in the Uchiha family is a handsome guy. When my sister was still alive, she complained that my brother-in-law was too popular after he arrived in Tokyo, and that his competitors were too numerous to count. When Mingzai was a child in the village, his good looks began to show and he was very popular among girls of the same age. Later, when he returned to Tokyo, there were girls with tears in their eyes who vowed to be Mingzai's bride when they grew up. Sakaki Namiya looked at Uchiha Ming carefully. Mingzai now has a tall and slender figure, skin as white as jade, and a healthy glow. He has a dignified and beautiful appearance, and there is a hint of indifference between his brows that keeps people at a distance. He is definitely an ascetic and beautiful young man! If I didn't already have someone in my heart, I would be moved to death by seeing a beautiful boy of this level. "Auntie Namiru!" Uchiha Ming said with an unpleasant tone:
"What exactly are you doing here? If you're just here to eat and drink, then since you're already full, why not go home?" "Mingzi, your score in this monthly test has improved by several places, right?" asked Sakaki Namuru. "Ah." Sakaki Namiryu is currently an intern physical education teacher at Jinguji High School, so it is easy for her to find out about Uchiha Mingyue's test results. Uchiha Ming April's performance has not declined but improved despite his high-intensity schedule, all thanks to the Shadow Clone Technique. "As a reward for your improvement in grades, I'd like to invite you to travel to Obama City in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture. How about it?" Sakaki Namiryu took out three tickets. "It's a three-day, two-night tour package from May 3rd to May 5th. And isn't May 5th the Boy's Day? The carp streamers in Obama City are also very famous. Mingzi, you probably haven't celebrated the Boy's Day since you came to Tokyo, right?" May 5th is the last day of the Golden Week, and is also the Boys' Day, a legal holiday in Japan, and the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, families with boys will hang carp flags at the door of their homes, which is taken from the legend of carp leaping over the dragon gate, hoping that their boys can swim upstream like carp and soar into the sky. Therefore, it is also called Carp Festival. Wakasa Bay? Wakasa Bay is located in the northwest of the Sea of Japan, across the sea from the mainland. Upon hearing the name of this place, Uchiha Ming frowned and his expression looked a little unnatural. "I'm already fifteen, how can I celebrate Boys' Day?" "It's not that much older. And you didn't go out during the Golden Week, so it's a good opportunity to go out and travel. It's boring to stay at home all the time. I'm worried that you might get sick..." "You're not my mother, why are you so nagging?" Uchiha Ming's mouth twitched. I can be your mother... Sakaki Namie almost blurted it out, but quickly covered it up: "After all, I am your sister's younger sister, and I can be considered half your mother. Naturally, I have to care about my nephew's study and mental health." "And during those days, Obama City will not only celebrate the Carp Festival, but also the local Mermaid Festival. You must have heard of the legend of Yaobikuni. The Mermaid Festival originated from this legend, and it will definitely be very lively at that time." Sakaki Namiryu tried her best to persuade him, even to the point of being overly enthusiastic. “Three tickets?” Uchiha Ming glanced at the ticket in Sakaki Namiryu's hand and felt that she had other intentions in inviting him to travel to Wakasa Bay. Celebrating Boy's Day for yourself is a completely untenable reason. "Well, these three tickets are actually the first prize tickets I won when shopping in a convenience store." Sakaki Namiryu was a little embarrassed. "Isn't there one more person missing? I wonder if your father and brother-in-law are free?" Uchiha Ming looked at Sakaki Namiya with some surprise. "After I came to Tokyo, I called my brother-in-law too frequently. My brother-in-law told me not to disturb him unless it was something important. So, please." Sakaki Namiya looked at Uchiha Ming with eager eyes. Uchiha Ming naturally did not celebrate the Carp Festival, and was only slightly interested in the Mermaid Festival in Obama City. He did not comment on whether or not to travel there.
However, the place name Wakasa Bay made him cautious. I have to go sooner or later anyway, so I might as well just solve it all at once. "This is the ticket for tomorrow morning. Xianmen hasn't come back during this golden week, so he must be busy. You'd better not hold out too much hope." Uchiha Ming took the travel ticket, looked at it, frowned and said. "We have to give it a try. My brother-in-law works so hard, he should take a few days off during the Golden Week." Uchiha Ming felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. The Uchiha Senmon's work in the Fourth Investigation Division is so busy, and it is not unrelated to himself.
