Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 217
Send Lao Zhang and Xiao Hei to go shopping with the beauties, go back to the hotel to rest by yourself, and supervise Fat Tiger to edit the rest of the material.

"Remember to buy some souvenirs along the way." Seeing that 52 fans have followed him, Ding Xu urged: "Wait until you go back and give away benefits."

Fat Tiger just finished editing a video, stretched his waist and said: "No problem, I heard that there is a Universal Studios here, which is very exciting, let's go and see it?"

Ding Xu waved his hand, as long as it wasn't a roller coaster or a jumping machine, it would be fine.

It was already evening when the others came back. I was tired and hungry and went straight to eat nearby. I didn't find a big hotel this time. Xiaoya recommended a local unique izakaya?
"Is there a late-night canteen?"

"It's time to explore the izakaya!"

"Let's go with Brother Xu!"

After recording the opening scene, Ding Xu, Fat Tiger, and Lao Zhang put on the hidden camera, and everyone walked into an izakaya.This should probably be one of the few public places in the island country where it doesn't matter even if it is loud, and even smoking is allowed.

Just sitting down and not looking at the menu, the clerk smiled and brought out plates of unknown side dishes. Just as Xiao Ying wanted to shout, Xiao Ya stopped her and said, "This is the rule of the izakaya."

"These are called お通し, which is equivalent to a domestic service fee or seat fee. It costs [-] or [-] yen per person. It can also be said to be a way for the store to express its welcome."

Then he handed the menu to Ding Xu and said: "Here, order the drinks first and then the dishes. It will save time to read while drinking."

Ding Xu opened the menu, of course he couldn't understand it, mainly to show it to the hidden camera, there are seventy or eighty items?
"The biggest feature of an izakaya is that you can try a variety of small dishes and adjust the dishes in a balanced way. If it is the first time, even the boss will recommend guests to order two or three dishes in stages to try the taste first."

Xiaoya took the menu and said, "Especially the old store has a lot of special recommendations, but you can't find them on the menu."

With a wave of Ding Xu's hand, let's go through everything!
"Boss, let's have a drink?" Gou Tuanzi looked at the various cups and cups next to him. The atmosphere was extremely lively. After eating Michelin every day, he suddenly missed the feeling of eating skewers and beer at street stalls?

Ding Xu's heart was moved by the words. He looked at many office workers in suits and leather shoes, carrying briefcases, unbuttoning suit shirts, and smoking cigarettes. Two or three friends laughed and cursed.

After taking their seats, everyone ordered a glass of their favorite wine, raised their glasses and said that they had worked hard.When you start chatting, you will neither toast each other, let alone persuade you to drink, but drink the wine in your glass leisurely.

"The so-called izakaya culture is not about advocating good food and eating, nor is it just about drinking and getting drunk, but an interactive atmosphere that breaks the usual depression."

"You can often see frustrated office workers walking into an inconspicuous izakaya and drinking alone in the corner on their way back from overtime work."

"Some even burst into tears suddenly. At this time, the boss will cast a understanding look and silently offer a cup of hot tea."

"Wow, isn't this the late-night cafeteria." Sakura exclaimed, "The real version!"

Ding Xu looked at the middle-aged owner who was busy at the counter, feeling that every izakaya owner is a protagonist, and this is also a stage to show their life experience.

A smiling, approachable old man who will chat with you about social changes and the turbulent international situation.

One is that they can't be provoked and can't be touched, and they have a lot of demands. They rely on the old and sell the old with a high self-esteem, and they have a hot temper and feel that the entire izakaya will be burned for them.

The last kind of time is quiet and good, neither laughing and chatting with guests, nor demanding, just enjoying the meal time quietly, such as Uncle Scar in the late-night cafeteria.

All kinds of lettuce salads, sashimi, grilled chicken skewers, grilled fish, grilled meat, all kinds of fried foods, and even the boss's innovative dark dishes, desserts...

This is real nightlife!

"Did you see that?" Simon secretly pointed at the drink list and muttered: "Sake is so expensive!"

"90 yen for 400mL?" Goudanzi said in surprise: "Then let's drink beer."

Filled with the sense of accomplishment of silently saving money for the boss, start ordering beer, Kirin, Asahi, Sapporo, Suntory, Ebisu
Especially the last one?
It seems like some magical combination?

"とりあえずビール!" Xiaoya suddenly said a sentence in Japanese and said with a smile: "Anyway, let's have a glass of beer first!"

Looking around at the more and more lively izakaya, whether you are a student or an office worker, young or old, when night falls, the Japanese who let go of trivial matters always like to get into the izakaya, order a bowl of side dishes, and drink a few glasses.

It seems that this small and noisy space hides the human feelings and sophistication of society, and is also the best place for islanders to rest their souls and find themselves?

The first glass of wine that everyone steps into an izakaya must be beer, probably because of the low alcohol concentration and the fast serving time.The traditional performance is to toast to beer together?
Especially the table next to it was obviously a company dinner. The people who arrived first could not move even after ordering the food. They waited for the last person to arrive before raising their beer glasses. Both men and women shouted loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Cheers."

Is the party officially starting?
"This is the rule for company dinners." Seeing Ding Xu silently observing, Xiaoya whispered: "You can only order your favorite drink for the second glass of wine. At the end of the drink, everyone always said that we will work together in the future, and then it's over Drinking party.”

"So people who go to izakayas don't care about how they eat, but whether the wine tastes good. If they don't enjoy their drinking, they will often switch to another restaurant for the second and third rounds after the first drinking party, which is called the second party. Three meetings.”

Shi Shi, who was eavesdropping next to her, nodded secretly. No wonder there are various Japanese dramas one after another, that's how it is.

Ding Xu watched while eating, and finally concluded to the camera: "Brothers, Brother Xu has discovered the secret of the popularity of izakaya."

"First of all, this is a restaurant that integrates eating and drinking. You must know that the classification of restaurants in island countries is relatively clear. For example, ramen shops only sell ramen, curry shops only serve curry rice, and ordinary restaurants usually only have soft drinks on the menu."

“Izakaya is the only place where you can drink all kinds of wine from around the world at low prices and taste more than ten kinds of Japanese dishes.”

"For example, the pretentious boss of "Midnight Diner" even told the customer: As long as it is what you want to eat and I can do it, I will cook it for you, right?"

“So many foodies consider discovering the boss’s whims of hidden menus as one of the pleasures of visiting.”

"Look at the company colleagues at the table next to you. You should know how depressing the workplace in the island country is, right?"

"Drinking after get off work is the best place to chat. As a newcomer, you can exchange information with your colleagues, and talk to your senior boss about some troubles that are hard to talk about in the company, right?"

"In this way, everyone will get to know you faster, and they can take care of you at work in the future. Sometimes when you drink too much, do you complain about those colleagues who are not easy to get along with? Is it a common enemy?"

"To put it bluntly, an izakaya is equivalent to our street stall barbecue!"

"Come on, brothers, go with Brother Xu!"
