Chapter 5341
Charlie saw Ito Yuhiko again and found that he was in very good condition.
To Yuhiko Ito, regaining his legs is like a rebirth, and it also makes him cherish the present even more.
Seeing Charlie, Ito Yuhiko was enthusiastic and respectful, he came out to welcome Charlie in and poured tea and water for him himself. Although he was busy walking around, he couldn’t hide his excitement all the time.
Tanaka Koichi on the side was so respectful that he wished he could always maintain a ninety-degree bending and bowing posture.
Charlie greeted the two of them, looked at the house curiously, and said with a smile: “I have lived in Tomson for so long, and this is the first time I have come to this high-rise.”
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, looking at the rolling river outside, sighed: “The scenery here is really good! Mr. Tanaka has a good eye.” Tanaka Koichi on the side said respectfully:
“Mr. Wade, I originally wanted to buy the set upstairs. The one on the top floor, unfortunately, it was bought by a lady a few minutes earlier, if I could buy the top floor, the scenery should have been even better!”
Charlie nodded with a smile, and said: “This is already not bad, if I knew the scenery here is so good, I should have come here to buy a set.”
Ito Nanako said: “Mr. Charlie can come here often in the future, and I will ask Tanaka-san to take a fingerprint for you later and treat this place as your own home. Well, if we’re not here, you can come up at any time if you want to stay alone for a while.”
Charlie was slightly taken aback, not knowing whether to refuse or accept for a while.
At this moment, seeing Charlie hesitate, Tanaka quickly said: “Mr. Wade, actually there is no need to troubleshoot fingerprints, the door password is Miss’s birthday.”
Charlie looked at Nanako, and he realized that he had known him for so long Well, he doesn’t know Nanako’s birthday.
This is mainly due to the fact that during the time the two met, they didn’t meet much, and Charlie himself didn’t pay much attention to birthdays, sometimes he couldn’t remember to celebrate his own birthday, and had to be reminded.
And Nanako never told him when her birthday was, or when she celebrated her birthday.
Nanako on the side also knew that Charlie definitely didn’t know when her birthday was, so he shyly said: “Mr. Charlie, my birthday can only be celebrated once every four years…” Charlie suddenly realized, and blurted out:
“Then I know… …February 29th…”
“Well…” Nanako nodded shyly, looked at him with big eyes affectionately, and asked, “Mr. Charlie should know what year I was born?”
Charlie hurriedly said: ” I know, I know…I know…”
Hiroshi Tanaka said with a smile, “Mr. Wade already knows the password to the door!”
At this time, Ito Yuhiko’s younger sister, Emi, had prepared a table of sumptuous Japanese cuisine.
Emi, who was wearing a kimono, walked to Charlie’s side, put her hands in front of her body, bowed respectfully, and said: “Mr. Wade, I have prepared the best Japanese food for you.”
“It is the highest-end seafood, whether it is sea urchin, oyster, sea bream or bluefin tuna, is the best that can be found in the Japanese market at present. You will enjoy it!”
Ito Yuhiko said with a smile: “Mr. Wade, Emi is best at making all kinds of sashimi. Her sensitivity to ingredients is much stronger than those of the so-called Michelin three-star chefs.”
“The ingredients she comes into contact with on a daily basis I’m afraid those Michelin three-star chefs won’t have the chance to see it.”
After that, he pointed to the tuna sashimi on the exquisite plate and said to Charlie:
“Mr. Wade, these sashimi are the meat from the cheeks of the blue flag tuna. The auction price of this fish is three million U.S. dollars, but such a small amount of meat on the two gills costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
“After conversion, a piece of fish costs tens of thousands of U.S. dollars, and even the best Michelin restaurant will not have it.”
Ito Takehiko didn’t just talk nonsense, in Japan’s luxurious society, 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 fish will flow into high-end restaurants. It seems that enough high-end restaurants can get this top-level ingredient.
As long as you spend hundreds of dollars, you can eat a slice of it in a 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.
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’s 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 Charlie 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’s introduction, he nodded slightly and said with a smile:
“Ms. Ito has worked hard. I don’t have such a tricky mouth, just eat some home-cooked food, don’t need to be so extravagant.”
Ito Nanako smiled and said: “It is only prepared for Mr. Charlie alone. Even if you don’t come to visit at home, my aunt will prepare these for him.”
“It’s just his own food cost, which costs millions of dollars. I don’t understand what he eats at all, and this to be honest, in my opinion, it’s more of a gimmick than a 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 from a roadside flower shop for three to five yuan, but those top-quality cultivars that are selected from thousands, One flower can even sell for tens of thousands.”
“Using the best flowers, matching the best tools, and combining them in the most elegant way becomes the way of flowers. I will never have anything to do with ikebana in my life; “
“There is also tea. Ordinary people make a cup of tea, or make a tea bag and mix it with milk.”
“These can only be regarded as drinking tea, only using top-quality tea leaves, top-quality tea sets, and the most sophisticated brewing methods 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!”
Ito Nanako stuck out her tongue and deliberately teased him: “Greedy is the best way to eat!” You’re greedy, why bother to talk so much…”
Yuihiko Ito laughed a few times, then took a bottle of sake with “14 generations” written on it, and said to Charlie:
“Mr. Wade, this is not an ordinary Zhubai on the top of the pole, this is the top-level Long Xiao Jiu Tian, which is one in a million, and even the prime minister may not have the chance to smell it!”
Charlie looked at him and asked a question: “Mr. Ito, tell me what’s on your mind, is this wine good?” “
Yes… is it good?” Yuhiko Ito fell into deep thought for a while, thinking for a while, and said very seriously: “To be honest, Mr. Wade, this thing is far worse than Coke in terms of taste alone.”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: “But this sake is the quintessence. The wine made from rotten grapes is not as delicious as grape juice, but it is quintessence!”
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to pour a glass of sake for Charlie, smiled, and said: “But Mr. Wade, although the wine is not good,”
“The feeling of being slightly drunk is really something that other things can’t give. Let Tanaka also accompany us to drink less, so that we can have more fun while drinking and chatting!”
Charlie, Ito Yuhiko, and Tanaka Hiroshi exchanged glasses, while Nanako stood by and kept adding wine for him.
What’s interesting is that Nanako only drinks for Charlie, Emi only drinks for Yuhiko Ito, and Koichi Tanaka can only drink for himself.
The so-called Long Xiao, in Charlie’s opinion, is not good to drink. Except for the pure rice fragrance, this thing is really lackluster.
If you want to feel a little drunk, you have to have at least 40% alcohol. To him, drinking sake is no different from drinking tap water.
However, since it was brought by Ito Yuhiko all the way, Charlie naturally gave enough face.
Including the top seafood sashimi prepared by Emi, Charlie is still full of praise.
But in fact, what he thinks in his heart is that sashimi itself has no taste, and what he eats is just the taste of different fish.
After dipping in soy sauce and wasabi, the overall taste is not much different.
This is very similar to a hot pot. After eating, what you eat is just the taste of the bottom of the pot and the dipping sauce.
After having lunch at the Ito family’s new residence, Charlie and Ito Yuhiko chatted for a while, then got up to say goodbye.
He told Zhiyu earlier that he would visit Liona’s house, so naturally, he couldn’t break his promise.
Although he drank a lot of sake with the two of them, fortunately, he had spiritual energy in him. Before setting off, he used spiritual energy to remove all the alcohol, and then drove to his old house.
