Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

The flattering smile on Yashida Shingen's face froze. He didn't expect that Gu Zhongyan would be so bluntly disgusted.

With his cold face just now, one could say that the other party was just arrogant, but as soon as these words came out, it was a real slap in the face.

Although he is just a puppet head of the Yashida family, no matter how puppet he is, he still has the dignity that a head of a family should have.

Being so arrogant in front of Gu Zhongyan, he had given enough face, but he was slapped in the face, which made Yashida Shingen, who didn't have much money in the city, feel a little embarrassed.

However, Gu Chongyan's current status is that he is a Chou countryman, a big businessman from the Chou country, and a large group with close ties to the Congress.

For these small consortiums, that is a father who is closer than their own father.

If your biological father slaps you in the face, is that called a slap in the face? If that is called looking down on you, how can a qualified dog son slap you in the face?

Therefore, Yashida Shingen quickly reacted and smiled flatteringly with a shy old face.

"Mr. Gu is absolutely right. I also feel that this traditional landscape layout is not very good. It's just that the older generation of the family is nostalgic and refuses to change, which makes Mr. Gu laugh."

Seeing Yashida Shingen's flattering smile, Gu Zhongyan was a little surprised.

Not to mention other things about these idiots, they are really thick-skinned. Even after being slapped in the face like this, they can still smile with a shy face. They are indeed little devils.

After being speechless for a short time, Gu Zhongyan sneered in his heart, since he was shameless these days, there was no need to give them any shame.

Passing through the courtyard and pushing open the traditional Japanese sliding door, tatami and traditional Japanese paper are the main tone of the room.

Seeing this, Gu Zhongyan was not surprised and sneered again, "Haha, after so many years, have you still not given up on this backward work and rest habit?"

Yashida Shingen didn't know where Gu Zhongyan was dissatisfied again. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

I saw Gu Zhongyan looking at the tatami and small table in front of him with disdain, "I heard that your country's tradition is to sit on your knees, but I don't know that kneeling will cause O-shaped legs, affect height development, affect normal male development, damage knee joints, etc.

wait."

"No wonder the head of the Yashida family is not tall. I'm afraid it's all caused by these bad habits."

As he spoke, Gu Zhongyan glanced at Yashida Shingen. Compared to Gu Zhongyan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, Yashida Shingen, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, looked embarrassed.

While I was embarrassed, I also felt a little aggrieved. There were disadvantages to sitting on my knees, but it was not completely without benefits.

Kneeling can improve blood circulation in the lumbosacral area, nourish the lumbosacral area, relieve pain in the lumbosacral area, improve lung function, and can also increase blood circulation in the stomach and improve the digestion and absorption capacity of the stomach.

It can also make people solemn, calm and relieve stress, which has many benefits.

Gu Zhongyan actually knows this, but now he just wants to find fault, so he naturally ignores these benefits.

Smiling awkwardly, Yashida Shingen hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what Mr. Gu said is that I will have people replace these furnishings and rearrange the tables and chairs."

"No need." Gu Zhongyan interrupted his arrangement and waved his hand indifferently.

"I'm not that pretentious. Guests do as they please. I don't want to be picky and ask the host to change the decoration. I'll just sit cross-legged later."

Hearing this, Yashida Shingen almost blurted out, "You are not being pretentious. You just treat guests as you please. Which guest can make other people's homes worthless like you do?"

However, considering Gu Chongyan's identity, Yashida Shingen felt extremely depressed, but he could only continue to smile on his face, nodding and bowing and said: "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Gu is really approachable. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality."

In order to entertain guests from far away, the Yashida family prepares the famous kaiseki cuisine.

Traditional Japanese cuisine still maintains the meal-sharing system, and Kaiseki cuisine itself is famous for being small and exquisite, like a work of art. Therefore, there are many types of dishes, so the table in front of both people is filled with many dishes.

High-end cuisine, which is known as an art of enjoyment, also puts a lot of effort into the utensils used to serve the dishes.

For example, the tea bowl served to Gu Zhongyan was a Yaoban Tianmu tea bowl. This is a type of porcelain that is formed due to the deformation of the glaze kiln during the firing process, because the results of the kiln deformation are uncontrollable.

Therefore, no matter in terms of appearance or quality, there are very few works that can reach the usable level, and even fewer can be displayed as works of art.

This craft originated in the Zhejiang area of ​​the Southern Song Dynasty, but was quickly lost due to yield and other problems.

It was only in recent years that kilns began to fire such porcelain again, and because I liked this kind of kiln-made porcelain when I was young, I started researching it earlier than the flower growers.

Therefore, this kind of kiln-turned porcelain technology was better studied in my childhood. However, even though firing has recently begun to resume, the price of first-class kiln-turned porcelain is still high.

The kiln-turned porcelain used this time is obviously of first-class quality, and the plates used to serve the dishes are obvious and the chef has put in a lot of effort.

Different from the gorgeously colored porcelain such as Yaoban Tenmoku tea bowls, the chef uses a large number of solid-color porcelain with green glaze and white glaze. These porcelains only have some decorative patterns in the opening position.

Most of these patterns reflect the season. It is spring now, so these patterns are also spring patterns. The simple porcelain gives people a very quiet and elegant feeling.

In order to present the food in the most perfect state in front of the guests and give them the ultimate enjoyment, there are some things to pay attention to before eating kaiseki cuisine.

For example, you cannot wear perfume before eating; you cannot eat other foods with strong flavors before eating; if there is a whole fish in the meal, you should eat the back spine first and then the front side, and do not eat the whole fish the other way around, but remove the bones. Take it off and eat the lower part and so on.

Ordinary people might satisfy their vanity for this so-called elegance and high-end, but Gu Zhongyan is not such a person.

Looking at the exquisite kaiseki meal in front of him, he sneered and continued to fire.

"This is your country's kaiseki cuisine. It's an artistic treasure and a high-end enjoyment, but I don't think it's very good."

"The food that can be filled in a few plates has to be divided into dozens, and each plate is a little bit. How can you say it is exquisite? It is just like your dry mountains and rivers. You are poor and reluctant to use the ingredients. Spend a little money to feed the cats."

"Besides, eating itself is to fill the stomach or satisfy the appetite. There is a saying among flower growers. It is true celebrities who are elegant. Why do they need so many twists and turns to show their elegance."

"A person who has to be constrained by various rules and regulations when eating has no sense of elegance. He is just a puppet pulled by silk threads."
