After Claudia tasted Matsumoto's grilled beef tongue, she was a little unsatisfied, so the boss Matsumoto grilled another portion for her.

"By the way, Mr. Matsumoto, when I was in the UK, I watched a program introducing Kobe beef. They told me that your beef is massaged by a dedicated person, followed by listening to music and drinking beer?" Claudia was eating. After finishing the second portion of beef tongue, he licked his lips and seemed to suddenly remember something, so he asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Claudia's question, Matsumoto showed the same playful expression on his face again.

"There is indeed beer, but only when the TV station comes, not when it doesn't come! There is beer, but I drink it myself!" Matsumoto's answer surprised Jester. He had never been there before. This world is still the world before, when I watched the introductory information film about Kobe beef.

In these information packs, the introductions in them all introduce various high-level presentations of Kobe beef, as if it were a spoiled and spoiled young lady. It seems that only this kind of beef can be tender, delicious, and have the best texture and taste. However, Unexpectedly, what was mentioned in the promotional video about Matsumoto, a professional Kobe beef, oh, shouldn’t be called Mita beef farmer, seems to be all fabricated.

Don’t they all say that Japanese people live in cities? How could this happen?

"If that's the case, then how do you tell whether the beef is of high quality?" After hearing what Matsumoto said, Claudia continued to ask with confusion on her face. Since Kobe beef is not as high-quality as they had previously advertised, So how should we judge?

Matsumoto's men did not stop, and were still carefully cutting the head on the table.

Hearing Claudia's new question, he did not raise his head. Instead, he pondered for a while, seemingly thinking about what to say, but not for long. In just a few seconds, he continued: "Actually, if you have no contact with this industry, it is still difficult to tell, but if you are talking about Santian beef, there is a very simple way. .”

Hearing what Matsumoto said, both Jester and Claudia pricked up their ears, and the middle-aged man who was there before the three Jesters arrived also became attentive.

Seeing everyone so serious, Matsumoto felt a little embarrassed. He smiled casually at first and said: "Don't look at me like that. In fact, this is not a special method. Many people know that in our industry, especially Santian beef, the meat quality is good or bad." It mainly depends on the pedigree. Generally speaking, it depends on the pedigree of three generations, and whether there are any prize-winning cattle in the pedigree of these cattle. As long as the cattle have won the prize, there will be a certificate issued by the government, and on this certificate, There is a mark of a bull’s nose.”

"The mark of a cow's nose?"

This statement. This was the first time Jester had heard of it, and when he was in China, he might not have been exposed to it at a very high level, so he had never heard of it. There is also the saying of the cow nose mark. Even in the United States, his grandfather is a master of Sichuan cuisine. Apart from the fact that the catering industry tycoon may not have much connection with Japanese cuisine, Jester has never heard of him.

"Yes, the mark of the cow's nose." Matsumoto nodded, "Just like human fingerprints, cows also have their unique external characteristics. For example, their noses are on real Mita beef. When selling, you You can ask the seller to show the certificate of the cow.”

At this time, the middle-aged man who came before seemed to have almost eaten, and good wine goes down the throat easily. Jester had tasted it before, and the wine in this store had a very light taste and a very rich taste. The rice flavor should be from the rice wine I brewed myself. Although this kind of wine tastes weak when I first drink it, in fact, it has a lot of staying power.

The middle-aged man who came before seemed to be a little drunk and his face was a little red.

Matsumoto seems to have been used to this scene for a long time. Maybe the food or wine here are very good, so some of the top people who drink like this often have some. He didn't show any surprise, just followed it casually. Several handfuls of small clams were caught in a glass water tank on one side, and they were simply thrown into a small stainless steel cup to cook without adding any water.

"This is?"

Jester was a little curious about this. He felt that this might have something to do with the middle-aged man next to him being drunk.

"Oh, the juice cooked with these little clams is the best way to relieve hangovers. In fact, I brewed this rice wine myself. Although it has a strong stamina, it is not harmful because it is purely brewed with high-quality glutinous rice. , drink a little bit of this juice, it will almost relieve the pain, it’s very effective.”

As he spoke, Matsumoto took a look. The small stainless steel bowl that was being heated seemed to be almost cooked. He took out the stainless steel bowl with insulated gloves, and poured the juice of the cooked clams into it. into a small cup, and then brought it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was obviously an old customer, so he was not surprised by this. He smiled and nodded and said thank you to Matsumoto, then blew the hot air slightly and drank the cup of clam juice.

Sure enough, just like what Matsumoto said, after drinking this cup of clam juice, the middle-aged man's face became clearer and his eyes became clearer. He smiled and nodded to Matsumoto and said: : "Matsumoto-kun, let's calculate the bill. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Um."

Matsumoto nodded, and did not take any record book. He just casually glanced at the ceramic plate placed in front of the middle-aged man, and then said casually: "Twenty-one thousand yen, just two Ten thousand yen.”

After Jester heard this, he felt that this store was not too expensive. Before coming here, Tamahide Yoshiro also introduced the origin of this store to Jester in detail. Mr. Matsumoto of this store is a Mita beef He is a breeding expert who is very famous in the Kobe area, and this store is just for his own entertainment. There is also a store in the urban area of ​​Kobe, but his wife is in charge of that store. The business of the store is much better than this one. Of course, with more people, the environment is not as quiet and nice as this store.

The most important thing is that the quality of the store he owns is far from as good as Matsumoto's.

But Jester had a question. When he came here, he found that there was only one guest here. The three of him had been here so many times, and no new guests had come. If it is so famous, it seems that there should not be so few people. ? Moreover, with such a small number of people, can this store make a profit?

Therefore, Jester asked curiously.

"Mr. Matsumoto, I found that the prices here are not too expensive. At least they are much cheaper than many restaurants in Ginza District, Tokyo. However, I don't think you have many customers here. Can you make money?" Where's the money?" This question is actually very presumptuous. After all, it's not a very good question to ask someone so directly whether they make money by opening a store.

However, Matsumoto didn't look dissatisfied. He still had that very indifferent expression on his face.

"I usually treat regular customers directly here. I only receive them when my friends bring them. And the things can't be sold too expensive. Even if they are good things, if they are sold too expensive, the guests will not be able to eat them this time. It’s very good, but maybe I won’t come next time because of the price... Actually, there is still money to be made.”

As he spoke, he cut the Sanhe beef cooked with barbecued pork into small pieces, put it on a ceramic plate, and sent it to the front of Jester and the others.

At the same time, he said in his mouth: "Eating this is best paired with Japanese rice wine, that is, sake, Fujioka-kun, oh, it is what the gentleman just drank, and the best sake should be drunk cold, you guys are Yu Xiujun’s friend is naturally my friend, I said before that I wanted to invite Yuxiujun to drink with me, and I said that I recently got a bottle of high-quality sake, but he never came. "

As he spoke, he took out a very simple wine bottle from the wine cabinet next to him.

There were a few words written in very freehand calligraphy on the packaging of the wine bottle, but Jester couldn't quite understand it. However, Tamahide Yoshiro's eyes lit up when he saw the bottle of wine, and he took the bottle over. , looked at it very preciously, and then shouted to Matsumoto with a somewhat unkind look: "You told me earlier that I got the private wine of Yoshinoya Winery. No matter how busy I am at work, I will come back!"

This made Matsumoto laugh.

After he laughed for a while, he seemed to remember the previous question. He seemed to calculate silently, and then said with a smile: "As for whether you can make money... Actually, you can still make a little bit, but not much. In winter, I hope I can make a little profit in the summer. The main thing is that I like to be quiet and don’t like too many customers. But it doesn’t matter. The business of my wife’s barbecue restaurant is very good. The one I have here is just for fun from the beginning. ”

Claudia is a true foodie. While Jester was chatting with Matsumoto, she had already finished her portion and Jester’s portion of barbecued pork and Sanda beef. But after eating, Claudia Ya commented seriously: "This is more delicious than the previous beef tongue."

This made Matsumoto laugh, but after he finished laughing, Matsumoto showed a very uncertain look. Jester added, unable to help but ask, and Matsumoto did not hide it, and said directly: "Actually, the beef tongue I made just now is still good. It’s not the best way to eat it. Even though the sauce I made myself is pretty good, it’s still very different from the other way of eating it.” (To be continued...)
