"Is there no fresh wasabi?" Lorna glanced at the boat-shaped container that only contained fish and shellfish and a plate of soy sauce, and asked the waiter: "What's the taste of eating sashimi without wasabi?"

The waiter who served the dishes was stunned for a moment, then looked at the cook behind him, who smiled bitterly and said: "Miss, wasabi is not something that a store like us can afford. Even if you are a famous person, you can only It’s rare to taste something new every now and then, but you can’t eat fish with wasabi every day.”

After that, the cook added: "You don't know, wasabi is very delicate. It only grows in clean water in high mountains. It also likes low temperatures and doesn't like to be exposed to sunlight."

"What's even more distressing is that the growth cycle of wasabi is as long as four years, but it is extremely volatile after being eaten. It must be ground on site and eaten within a moment to avoid losing its flavor."

"This sounds very annoying!" Uchiha Airi couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, it is something that even a famous person can hardly eat."

So Ji Jun, what kind of life did you live before?

Uchiha Madara glanced at Lorna and became more determined to send her back.

However, Lorna only frowned slightly after listening to the explanation from the chef, and then asked: "There is no wasabi, what about horseradish?"

"Horse radish? What is that?" the chef asked with confusion on his face: "I only know that sashimi needs wasabi and soy sauce, but I have never heard of horseradish as a seasoning."

"..." Lorna finally remembered that in her world, horseradish was also a West Asian plant that was only introduced to the Far East and Yan Kingdom in the past 100 years.Because horseradish tastes very similar to wasabi and is easier to grow than wasabi, the price is only one-tenth of that of wasabi. The tubular mustard on the market is also made from horseradish.

However, in terms of taste, horseradish is far less rounded than wasabi, and it lacks the unique sweetness of shredded wasabi, so high-end Japanese restaurants still use freshly ground wasabi to go with sushi.

Lorna also learned the difference between wasabi and horseradish when she and Men Qi went to the Far East to explore stores, and thus had a new standard for judging Japanese food restaurants.

It's a pity that the food in this world is more monotonous than Lorna thought.

I thought that with the red wine, I could at least pair it with sashimi with wasabi.

But then again, sashimi and red wine are really a weird pairing.

"Forget it, let's just use soy sauce!" For Lorna, who had been eating vegetables and radish with grilled fish for several days, sashimi and fresh shellfish were already considered a pleasure.

But when these words were heard in Uchiha Madara's ears, they sounded a bit like a nuisance.However, when he thought about Lorna's past life of wasabi and sashimi, he felt embarrassed to blame her. He even felt that Lorna was very considerate to the Uchiha clan for not complaining.

After all, the Uchiha family has also taken over the task of hiding nobles, and those nobles who have not endured hardship are not as easy to talk to as Lorna.

After the chefs served the seafood platter, they quickly returned to the kitchen and immediately brought out four portions of ghost bone roast.

Unable to calm down, Uchiha Hikoichi simply put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Ji-kun, this is too extravagant."

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara also put down his chopsticks and said, "We really don't deserve Ji-kun's hospitality."

"Is it worth it? The dishes have already been served." Lorna persuaded: "Are you going to let the chefs' hard work go to waste?"

After saying that, Lorna looked at the slightly nervous worker and explained to him: "Don't worry, I won't do anything dishonest like eating the king's meal or withdrawing the food."

After all, fresh food is not as good as fried food, and there are only a handful of customers who can consume these in the store, so if Lorna withdraws the food, it will be really difficult for the person in charge of the wine shop to handle it.

They were all hard-working people working for others. Lorna didn't want to trouble the staff of the wine shop, so she quickly comforted them.

After listening to Lorna's words, both the workers and the kitchen assistants breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts, and then placed the ghost bones in order.The speed was like a ghost chasing after them, fearing that if they were slow for a second, Lorna would give up the food.

The name "Oni-koyaki" sounds deceptive, but it's actually Ise lobster.And just like seafood sashimi, Ise lobster also tastes fresh. However, because the lobster is too big, and the wine shop wants to present the plate beautifully, so the shrimp heads and tails are required and are not included in the seafood platter.

Moreover, in terms of price, Ise lobster is not comparable to shellfish and oysters.

"The dishes are all here, please enjoy it slowly." The waiter who took the money made a "please use" gesture with a smile on his face.

Lorna grabbed a handful of copper coins from her purse and gave them to the workers and the kitchen helper: "Thank you for your hard work."

Compared with the modern society that Lorna is familiar with, one disadvantage of ancient times is that tips are required everywhere, which is the so-called appearance money.It’s no wonder that some people with modest incomes can’t save much money throughout the year and spend all their money on ostentation and prestige.

Uchiha Iris looked at the copper coins leaking out from between Lorna's fingers, and really wanted to abandon his reserve as an Uchiha and join the ranks of collecting tips.

Uchiha Madara, on the other hand, was puzzled by Lorna's generosity.After all, when he met Lorna, the other party had no cash, but when he thought about the exquisite jewelry Lorna owned, Uchiha Madara was relieved.

"Don't you want to eat?" Lorna, who hadn't seen any of the Uchihas using their chopsticks for a long time, asked, "If you don't like it, you can order something else."

"No, please... show mercy." The frightened Uchiha Acorus quickly stopped Lorna from asking for the menu, then picked up the rice bowl, unable to start with the dishes in front of him.

Uchiha Madara drank the flavor-enhanced soup, and found out that this was not the boiled water-made miso that his family often drank, or a simple dish only garnished with tofu and kombu, but a base of chicken bones and fish bones, served with A premium miso that can withstand cooking and add sweetness to fruits and vegetables.

Things that are difficult to eat at ordinary times are just condiments for soup here.

Not to mention the silky fish tempura fried in sesame oil and smeared with garlic sauce. The crispy texture and soft interior make people want to swallow it with their tongues.

Ujimaru is the most common grilled eel, but the eel juice of later generations has not yet been developed in this era, so the grilled eel is just rubbed with salt and smoked on straw. It is salty and tender.

In comparison, stuffed eggplant and pickles are less surprising.

However, there is also a folk saying - "Marry someone who can afford autumn eggplants."The eggplant in the wine house is not an ordinary boiled dish, but a dish made by scooping out the eggplant meat, marinating it with wild vegetables and chicken, and finally stuffing it back into the eggplant skin and baking it.

Lorna took a bite and felt that the taste was not as good as the eggplant she had eaten in Yanguo, so she just took a few bites and then turned her attention to the sashimi platter.

Because the sea in ancient times has not been polluted by industry, and the seafood is freshly killed and cooked, it tastes extremely fresh and sweet, even without wasabi, which can satisfy the picky Lorna.

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara, who was sitting next to Lorna, pushed the scallop close to him to Lorna's side, and then placed the stuffed eggplant that Lorna took from the dining table on his table.

Because Uchiha Madara was concealed, and Uchiha Airis opposite was immersed in eating, and Uchiha Hikoichi, who rarely had a drink, was already drunk, no one noticed Uchiha Madara's little actions.
