Tokyo Martial Arts Story

Does this have "Ai Fu Bento"?My daughter has finally grown up!

Of course, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu didn't know what her mother was thinking, but this did not prevent her from looking forward to the daily lunch break.

What delicious Chinese ingredients can I eat today?There are so many styles of cooking in the Cadet Association, and you can eat different ones every time!

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu couldn't help laughing out loud after thinking about it.

"Shiyu, why are you so happy!"

Just when Xiazhiqiu Shiyu couldn't hide her smile, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.

"Ah, Saeko!"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu immediately tensed up.

Human design, human design cannot collapse!

There are so many people eating at Yan Kai's place for lunch, of course Saeko Busujima is not bad. She and Kasumigaoka Shiwa are in the next class, so they should have come together, but she has to go to the Kendo Hall to get the wooden sword first, so it was postponed Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was a little bit behind, but she walked fast, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu hadn't reached the "Zhongxing Society", she had already followed.

Speaking of it, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu thought it was quite strange. Saeko Busujima has always cherished her real sword and wished to carry it with her all the time, but it seems that she has started to carry the original wooden sword since a while ago. I don’t know. what's going on.

Maybe it's not good to bring a real knife in school...

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu could only think so.

The two walked towards the activity room of the "Zhongxing Club". As soon as Xiazhiqiu Shiyu opened the door, he saw Chitong and Ajiu lying on the low table with half of their bodies lying on the side of the low table. A watermelon in the middle.

One person, one... They were at loggerheads. It seemed that whoever dared to take his eyes off the watermelon would be defeated in this war.

This is a watermelon whose main body is emerald green. The stripe intervals are almost the same. The shape is also a very pleasing standard spherical shape. With some distance, Kasumigaoka Shiyu seems to be able to smell a scent of green grass. Just look at the shape of this watermelon , I couldn't help but swallowed.

"It's so rare, do you still have watermelon as an after-dinner snack today?"

After entering the door, Saeko Busujima greeted the three faculty members with a slight bow, Ryoko Yudo, Tiayu and Esdes, while Shiwa Kasumigaoka casually walked to the low table and bent down, carefully looked at the low table This is a very good looking watermelon.

"What kind of watermelon is this? Why is it different from the ones I saw on the market?"

Of course, it's not that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu has never seen watermelons, but he really hasn't seen this emerald green watermelon much.

Watermelons can be regarded as a moderate luxury in Dongying. In supermarkets, they are basically sold by slices. Few people buy whole watermelons. Even if they do buy watermelons, they are mainly used as gifts for others. The reason for growing square watermelons that are very expensive but not tasty at all is because they know that what they grow is not watermelon, but a kind of "artisan spirit" and a story with rich feelings. That's right, the taste and so on are all trivial details and don't matter at all.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's family is well-off, most of the watermelons she buys are eaten by herself, she doesn't pay attention to her feelings, she mainly cares about the taste, but she has also eaten a lot of watermelons, but she rarely sees this kind of emerald green watermelon, after all, it is native to Japan. Most watermelons have dark green skin, or even dark green.

But no matter what kind of watermelon it is, seeing the watermelon, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help stretching out his hand, curling his fingers, wanting to flick it to hear the sound.

She heard that when buying watermelons, people in the Central Plains would look at the watermelon to distinguish the quality of the watermelon. Although she couldn't tell whether the watermelon was good or bad by this, she still wanted to play it like this. It made her feel very ritualistic.

The Green Onion Jade Finger had just gathered enough strength to pop it out, but Yan Kai's voice suddenly came from Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's ear: "Senior sister, wait, don't play it!"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously flicked her fingers out in a daze.

There was a sound of "boom", very crisp, and after the thought of "should be a good melon" flashed in Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's mind, with a "poof", the emerald green watermelon that was round like a ball cracked instantly, revealing The tempting pink melon inside is exposed, and the juice with a sweet smell also drips out.

"..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was stunned, she never expected such a thing to happen, she almost screamed: "I didn't mean it, I didn't expect it to happen!"

Yan Kai sighed, walked out of the kitchen, looked at the cracked watermelon, and then at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was as dumb as a wooden chicken.

"Uncle Kai, the melon is split, why don't we eat the melon first!"

Chi Tong swallowed, waiting for Yan Kai to nod, she immediately rushed forward, and Ah Jiu who was opposite her also stuck out her tongue and licked her mouth, meaning you don't want to eat alone.

Since the first day I met Chitong, one person and one... Because of the similar recipes, wars often broke out, and they have regarded each other as their "enemies for life".

"Okay, but share it with everyone."

Yan Kai tapped on the cracked watermelon, and the watermelon immediately scattered along the cracks into many pieces, evenly scattered on the table.

"Student, what's the matter with this watermelon? I just flicked it lightly, just once! It's very light!"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu came back to her senses, although Yan Kai didn't mean to blame her, but she still felt very embarrassed for cracking the watermelon, she tried her best to defend herself.

Yan Kai shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay, this kind of watermelon looks like this, its skin is very thin, and it will crack if it is slightly impacted, and because of this, its transportation is a big problem. It is sold in the surrounding areas, so it is difficult to send it to far away places, and it is not easy to send it to Japan in good condition. Sister, anyway, this melon has cracked, so you can eat it now."

"Really..." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu turned her attention to the watermelon that had been separated so quickly, under the pink flesh, there was a very thin melon rind.

Eve picked up a piece of melon, looked at the rind of the melon, and gave a very accurate judgment: "It's only about five millimeters, it's really thin!"

Then "ah" bit off the tip of the watermelon, and at the same time, the full juice flowed out from the corner of Eve's mouth.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu felt that his mouth was secreting fluid crazily.

"Well, junior, where is the salt? I'll go get some salt and eat it!"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu asked Yan Kaidao.

In Dongying, how can you eat watermelon without the step of sprinkling salt? If you don’t sprinkle salt, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu feels sorry for the good appearance of this watermelon.

Yan Kai raised his eyebrows, pushed his glasses, and said in a blunt tone: "Senior sister, are you looking down on the watermelons in the Central Plains!"

I have never heard of such a thing as eating watermelon with salt!

After speaking, he directly took a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into Kasumigaoka Shiwa's mouth.

"Woooooo!"

Something was stuffed into her mouth suddenly, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu subconsciously wanted to resist, but when her teeth crushed the flesh of the melon in the resistance...

"Ugh..."

The juice swirled on her taste buds first, and then flowed down her throat naturally. This feeling was not much different from drinking a drink directly, which made Kasumigaoka Shiyu tremble all over.

"Well, it's so sweet!"

After Yan Kai opened his hands, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu caught the watermelon by himself, and took a few bites, the overflowing juice told everyone how juicy this watermelon was.

"Is that right!"

Only then did Yan Kai smile.

In fact, he knew that Japanese people had the habit of sprinkling salt on watermelons, but in his opinion, it was unnecessary.

If you want to talk about why Japanese people sprinkle salt when eating watermelon, if you talk about this matter seriously, there are actually many things worth talking about.

First of all, I would like to mention here why Dongying’s agricultural products are so expensive. This is mainly to protect local farmers and agricultural products. After all, the self-sufficiency rate of Dongying’s agricultural products is less than [-] percent. If the local agricultural products are not protected, it must be cheap. The large amount of agricultural products from other countries, especially the Central Plains next door, is not guesswork but inevitable.

Raising the price of agricultural products and increasing farmers' income is the policy of the Japanese government to protect Japanese farmers and agricultural products.

This is understandable, even a matter of course, but no matter what, once it arrives in Dongpu, it will naturally become very mysterious.

Dongying Agriculture is controlled by JA, which is well known in Dongying.

A single farmer certainly cannot directly negotiate with dealers, enterprises, and the government. Therefore, farmers in Japan must negotiate with distributors, enterprises, and the government through a large trade union. JA is such a large-scale agricultural cooperative union formed to protect the interests of farmers in Japan. , 90.00% of the farmers in Japan are JA members.

But like all organizations with good intentions at the beginning but deviated from their original intentions in the later development, after JA grew stronger, the organization began to become rigid, elitist, and bureaucratic. Instead, they colluded with politicians and companies and became exploitative The existence of Japanese farmers.

In Dongying, Dongying farmers obey JA’s arrangement, cultivate and breed the agricultural products designated by JA, and then hand over the agricultural products they grow to JA for sale. JA uses its own sales channels to sell agricultural products at high prices, but what does this have to do with Japanese farmers? ?

The high prices of Dongying’s agricultural products seem to have nothing to do with Dongying’s farmers. The farmers work hard every day, but they are at a very, very, very disadvantageous position in the final distribution of income. Can obey because they don't have a second choice, it's equivalent to being exploited twice by JA and corporate, not much money is actually made.

Of course, a small number of big landlords who colluded with JA, their life must be enviable and enviable, but they cannot represent the interests of the vast number of farmers in Japan.

However, in order to make Dongying people accept the high price of agricultural products, JA and major companies are also very confused. At least Yan Kai feels very confused. They forcibly turned an economic problem into a matter of belief, and brainwashed the local agricultural products of Dongying. In Yan Kai's view, the various methods are no different from fraud.

Many countries and even Dongying people themselves think that Dongying’s agricultural products are good, with good appearance, good color, and the same shape and size. They look better than other countries’ agricultural products. They think that they are good varieties, and they grow from the ground. The appearance, in fact, is not. There is no essential difference between the agricultural products of Japan and the agricultural products of any other country. It is impossible to look exactly the same. If you want to say why their appearance is so beautiful and consistent, it is because they are all selected.

After the taste of any agricultural product reaches a certain level, it is very difficult to improve it a little bit, and the taste is often difficult to say, but the taste is hard to say, but the appearance is easy to establish a good or bad standard.

In order to convince the Dongying people that Dongying’s agricultural products are good, JA only buys all kinds of good-looking agricultural products, and does not accept bad ones. This leads to the fact that the agricultural products that appear in Dongying’s large supermarkets are all similar, because they have already passed through a round Screened, and the screening fee is still very expensive.

This is actually the same as going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and helping those who don’t know how to pick vegetables to pick them up. If the price is [-] to [-] percent higher, most people can still bear it, but Dongying’s "vegetable picking fee" "But it is more than three times, which is no different from stealing money.

When Yan Kai went to Oda Town before, he met farmers selling vegetables and fruits with small carts on the street, just like those hawkers selling vegetables and fruits on the streets of Central Plains.

Those vegetables and fruits should be the leftover agricultural products picked by JA. The quality is indeed worse than those sold in large supermarkets, but the price is only one-third or even lower than that of large supermarkets. Considering the taste and appearance of agricultural products It doesn't matter much, especially when it's finished as dishes and fruit platters, who can tell what they were like before?Calculated in this way, the cost-effectiveness of the vegetarian vegetables and fruits directly sold by farmers is simply heavenly.

It's a pity that those "cheap" vegetable and fruit farmers only dare to sell them secretly, and dare not sell them openly, otherwise they will be retaliated by JA.

It's not that there are no stunned youths among the farmers in Dongying, and there are some people who want to resist JA's exploitation. Putting aside JA, an unscrupulous middleman, to do it alone, and then they will have nothing to do...

In order to make Dongying’s agricultural products sell at high prices, JA and major companies have also done a lot of articles in other places, such as amplifying any negative news on food imported from other countries, especially in the Central Plains next door. As soon as there is a problem with the food in Japan, the media in Dongying will broadcast the news desperately, wishing to take hundreds of tweeters to the city center to brainwash the passing Dongying people. They are big and small, and small and small, and they keep a low profile, and they don't attract people's attention if they can.

Through these operations, JA and major companies have successfully imprinted the minds of the entire Dongying people, making them feel that agricultural products from other countries are not good!

Dongying's agricultural products, OK!

Only poor and crazy people will eat agricultural products from other countries instead of Japanese agricultural products.

What's more, Westerners think that Dongying cuisine is very light and healthy, and Dongying population is famous all over the world for their longevity. They naturally attribute it to their good cuisine and good ingredients. This wave of Dongying agricultural products has also blessed the nation. Self-confidence has risen to the point of belief, perfect!

In short, the superposition of various factors has led to the abnormally high price of agricultural products in Japan, reaching a metaphysical field.

Such an expensive agricultural product, it is a sin to say that they are not delicious, and the watermelon is also more than [-] yen, and a single piece of watermelon costs several hundred yen. Can it not taste good?Can it be sweet?Not sweet and salty!After sprinkling salt, the tongue tastes a little salty before touching the sweetness of watermelon. The sweetness of watermelon will be amplified against the previous salty taste, and it will taste sweeter than eating it alone.

This is an expensive watermelon, even if it is not sweet, you must eat it all!

If this matter is placed in the Central Plains, if you eat a watermelon, it is not sweet, um, then throw it away and change it, what a big deal!

Chapter 360... In short, let's chop a fork first!

After enjoying the watermelon from the Central Plains, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked Yan Kai, "Student, why do you suddenly want to eat watermelon? Summer is almost over!"

Yan Kai couldn't answer that he thought of selling watermelon when he saw the tweeter, and then thought of eating watermelon. He could only ask, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded vigorously. This is really delicious, not the "must be delicious" that Dongying watermelon is blessed by metaphysics.

"It's fine if it's delicious."

Yan Kai said with a smile.

"Right."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded, she can eat such a delicious watermelon, what else does the bicycle do!

"By the way, I still have two watermelons here. When you and Saeko go back, take them one by one."

Yan Kai said to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.

"Well, it's not good, this kind of watermelon should be very expensive..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu refused, but the attitude of rejection was not very firm. After all, it was such a good watermelon, so her attitude of rejection was really not firm.

Uh, the main reason is that she is too familiar with Yan Kai. If the partner is a stranger, then her attitude can be very firm.

Yan Kai said indifferently: "Two watermelons, why are they so expensive? In this season, you can buy them locally for up to ten yuan each!"
