After that, he pointed to the tuna sashimi on the exquisite dinner plate, and said to Ye Chen: “Mr. Ye, these sashimi are the meat from the two gills of the blue flag tuna. The auction price of this fish is three million US dollars, but it is only two gills.” Such a little bit of meat costs hundreds of thousands, and when converted, a piece costs tens of thousands of dollars, even if it is the best Michelin restaurant, there will be no such thing.”
Takehiko Ito is not just talking about it. In Japan’s society of luxury and money, the price of truly top-notch high-end products can be outrageously expensive.
The highest auction record for bluefin tuna, one has been bought for a sky-high price of several million dollars. Most of the meat of such a fish will flow into high-end restaurants. It seems that enough high-end restaurants can eat this top-level ingredient. As long as you spend hundreds of dollars, you can eat a slice of it in the restaurant.
But the real situation is that the two gills of tuna like this are impossible to flow into the back kitchen of any restaurant.
Most people can’t understand why those top rich people are extravagant to the extreme. It doesn’t matter to them if the ingredients of a meal are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. In their eyes, the only value of a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands of dollars is only when it is opened. Hear a sound.
This is mainly because they are so rich that they can spend a lot of money without racking their brains, and it is impossible to spend it all in a few lifetimes. Ordinary people eat three to five hundred for a meal, and a meal can cost a day or two. Salary, but for a top rich man like Takehiko Ito, even if he eats 100,000 US dollars for a meal, he may only eat the interest generated by his savings in the bank for a day.
In other words, if he spends 100,000 US dollars on a meal, the proportion of his expenditure in the total net worth is the same as that of an ordinary person who spends 10 yuan on a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup.
Although Ye Chen is also very rich, money doesn’t mean much to him, and he has never had the habit of spending extravagantly, so after listening to Emi Ito’s introduction, he nodded slightly and said with a smile: “Ms. Ito has worked hard. , I’m not that tricky, just eat some home-cooked food, don’t be so extravagant.”
Nanako Ito said with a smile on the side: “Mr. Yechen’s mouth is not that tricky, but my father’s mouth is really sharp! These ingredients are not prepared just for Mr. Ye, even if you don’t come to the house as a guest, my aunt will prepare them for him.” These are only his own food cost every year, which costs several million dollars, and he has no idea what he eats, and to be honest, this kind of food, in my opinion, is more of a gimmick than reality.”
Ito Yuhiko laughed, and said, “Nanako, everything in this world can be called Tao as long as you pursue it to the extreme. You like ikebana, so you will do everything possible to buy the most expensive flowers. You can buy a rose in a flower shop for three to five yuan, but those top-quality varieties selected from thousands of miles can even sell for tens of thousands. The best utensils, combined in the most elegant way, become the way of flowers, but the bouquets of 100 yuan a bouquet in the roadside flower shop will never have anything to do with the way of flowers for a lifetime; ”
“There is also tea. Ordinary people make a cup of tea, or make a tea bag, or make a tea bag and mix it with milk. These can only be counted as drinking tea. Only the most refined brewing method can be called the way of tea!”
“Although I don’t know the way of flowers and tea, I know the way of food! That is to eat the best ingredients and drink the most expensive wine!”
Nanako Ito stuck out her tongue and deliberately teased him: “Just say greedy, why bother to talk so much…”
Ito Yuhiko laughed a few times, and immediately took a bottle of sake with “Fourteen Generations” written on it, and said to Ye Chen: “Mr. Ye, this is not ordinary Dajishangzhubai, this is the top one in a thousand.” Long Xiao Jiutian, even the Prime Minister, I am afraid there is no chance to smell it!”
“Long Xiao Jiutian…” Ye Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and asked him: “Why did you choose such a name…”
Ito Yuhiko said with a smile: “This is the unique sense of ritual of Japanese brands. Regardless of whether something is good or bad, it must be packaged with a high-end atmosphere. It is best to make it difficult for others to understand, so that he will feel that this thing is very professional! The nouns in sake can be used to write a book, well-known brands and series include Heilong, Longyin, and Longquan, and this Longxiaojiutian is the ceiling in the ceiling.”
Ye Chen looked at him and asked a question: “Mr. Ito, tell your heart, is this wine good?”
“Good…is it delicious?” Ito Yuhiko fell into deep thought, thought for a while, and said very seriously: “To be honest, Mr. Ye, this thing is far worse than Coke in terms of taste alone.”
After finishing speaking, he quickly added another sentence: “But this sake, after all, is the quintessence of Japan! The wine made by Europeans from rotten grapes is not as good as grape juice. Isn’t it also their quintessence! ”
Ye Chen nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: “Then, it seems that Japanese sake and French red wine are similar to our girl’s drinking music.”
Ito Yuhiko laughed tacitly, clapped his hands and said: “Mr. Ye is right!”
After all, he took the initiative to pour a glass of sake for Ye Chen, and said with a smile: “But Mr. Ye, although the wine is not delicious, but the feeling of being slightly drunk is really something that other things can’t give, let Tanaka also accompany us Drink less, everyone will have more fun while drinking and chatting!”
