Chapter 169 Too Ugly, Don't Want It
Some people always say that Western food emphasizes ritual, but there are also many things to pay attention to when eating traditional Chinese food.
However, after thousands of years of cultural inheritance and changes, people suddenly felt that there was no need to do so many superficial things. The most important thing in life is to be happy, so just do whatever you want.
I've finally been able to live as a human being, and I've finally been able to live in a prosperous era that my ancestors fought and sacrificed for. Why should I put so many inexplicable mental shackles on myself?
Mental strain only leads to depression, not to making you stronger.
Japanese cuisine largely reflects the core of the Japanese national spirit: knowing small manners but lacking in greater principles. Therefore, it is meticulous in its process, emphasizing procedures and being overly concerned with dining etiquette.
The waiters served the dishes in order from light to rich, ending with main courses and desserts.
The appetizers are small dishes, consisting of very small portions of tofu, seaweed, and pickled vegetables, basically bite-sized portions, mainly to awaken the taste buds.
The classic dishes are sashimi, served with wasabi and soy sauce, as well as fish, meat and vegetables stewed in broth to highlight the original flavor of the ingredients.
The grilled items mainly consist of eel and chicken skewers grilled over charcoal, followed by fried items such as tempura, which are eaten with sauce, and a bowl of smooth steamed egg custard.
Sushi was also an unavoidable food, but the miso soup was relatively bland and hard to describe.
Then came the main course, which was eel rice or udon noodles with a relatively stronger flavor, but the portions were not large. After all, the Japanese are used to eating little. In fact, there are very few fat people on their island. They are all skinny, just like the Koreans.
The final dessert was matcha ice cream, which was quite popular with the girls.
Then Ye Kai casually asked how the two girls felt after the meal.
"It's just that the production is more refined."
"As for the taste, it's actually quite bland. It doesn't have the complex flavor profile of typical Chinese cuisine. It's a little better than eating it raw, I suppose."
"If you consistently eat this kind of food, you can indeed lose weight."
Su Jin had more ideas on this matter, and her points were quite reasonable.
"I think it's fine, considering how expensive it is."
Wang Ruoxi wasn't that picky about food; she just felt the prices on the menu were outrageous.
Just looking at it makes me feel a pang of pain all over my body.
Even though Ye Kai paid for it, Wang Ruoxi still felt like she didn't taste the food. The three of them had spent over ten thousand yuan on Japanese food, which was really a rip-off.
"Actually, this is a social need."
"Think about it, if a man and a woman are in the ambiguous stage of their relationship, how many places can they go to spend money?"
Going to the movies, strolling in the park, or shopping at the mall are basically things couples do together, so there aren't many options left.
"Eating out is definitely a good option."
"But if it's Chinese food, it's not easy to find a quiet place, and not many girls are willing to dine alone with a guy in a private room before they've established a relationship."
"Eating Japanese food is a very reasonable choice because the dining environment here is mostly semi-enclosed or fully enclosed, which is perfect for two people."
"Moreover, Japanese restaurants generally have a reasonable control over the speed of serving food, which can extend the originally short dining time a lot, and also give men and women more opportunities to interact."
"Another point is that such elaborate rituals can easily give girls the illusion that he values them highly, and can more quickly deepen the feelings between the two of them."
"All things considered, as long as the food isn't too bad, Japanese restaurants will always have business."
Ye Kai suddenly became very talkative and, in just a few words, revealed the reason why Japanese cuisine is so popular.
"Yes!"
"Social needs!"
"If you look at it from this perspective, it's not hard to understand!"
After hearing this, Wang Ruoxi wholeheartedly agreed.
It seems that people come here not for the craftsmanship or taste, but for a social interaction and emotional connection.
After dinner, Ye Kai accompanied the two women to the brand store downstairs. Each of them ended up with seven or eight more bags, making it a very fruitful shopping trip.
From outerwear and underwear to accessories, each person spent hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Wang Ruoxi and Su Jin were completely numb by this point. Having been used to Ye Kai's extravagant spending, they had long since developed a certain immunity to it.
As for Ye Kai's promise to buy a car, the hotel's butler, Zhou, had already contacted a Ferrari dealership with whom they had a good relationship.
shop.
"That's too extravagant!"
"We're both complete beginners, and we're choosing a Ferrari as our first car?"
"It feels like I'm living in a dream. I don't even feel like I've landed yet. Xixi, do you want to pinch me to wake me up?"
Su Jin sighed and hugged Wang Ruoxi tightly. She felt as if everything happening before her eyes was a dream, and she was really worried that this dream would be suddenly awakened.
"Tsk, that's definitely a bit too high-profile."
"Then how about we switch to a Porsche 911?"
Ye Kai thought about it for a moment and realized that going straight for a Ferrari was a bit excessive. If a sports car worth five or six million were driven into the Central Conservatory of Music, the two women would probably no longer be able to hide the fact that they were being kept by someone. It would be better to downgrade the consumption and buy a Porsche 911 instead.
A Porsche 911 priced around 1.5 million RMB isn't considered too flashy in Beijing; it's relatively affordable.
Although the budget was reduced to a quarter of what it used to be, Wang Ruoxi and Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
The experience from last night to today has been so exciting that they find it hard to accept this change.
For now, it's best to hold back a bit, which will also give them a transition period for mindset change and new identity recognition.
In this way, they had a clear target for buying a car. So after going to the Porsche 4S store, they looked at the colors and options, and Ye Kai swiped his card to settle the matter.
For a total of over four million, he acquired two Porsche 911s.
"Would you like to choose one too, sir?"
"We also have high-end luxury cars in our store that are suitable for you, sir."
The 4S store manager was overjoyed and couldn't resist trying to sell Ye Kai his store's prized possession, the Porsche Carrera.
GT, starting price 648 million.
As for the Porsche 918 Spyder, which is limited to 918 units worldwide and has a starting price of 1338 million, they simply don't have any in stock.
"It's too ugly, I don't want it."
Ye Kai glanced at it briefly before declining the manager's offer.
On his way back, Ye Kai received a call from Wu Yufei.
"Mr. Ye."
"I've already taken care of the loan."
Wu Yufei excitedly reported to her supervisor over the phone.
