Chapter 074 – Beef Soup Shop (Revised)
At seven o’clock in the evening, Miyazaki Ryui rang the doorbell of Masayoshi Kishimoto’s room punctually and on time. A few moments later, the door to the room was opened.
Miyazaki Ryui did not go in, and Kishimoto Masayoshi walked out. Together, the two took the elevator down and through the lobby to the outside.
“You’ll just take me to eat some old Korean, common wage earner’s food.” It wasn’t that Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t spare the money. The Bunsei disease in him was acting up.
In the minds of the literati, upper class stuff is what should be despised and criticized. It was the things of the lower class that were the truest, the most diamond in the rough.
Besides, he would have liked to go to an unfamiliar place to experience and appreciate the local humanities. There was no place where this humanistic flavor was truer than the culture of the marketplace where ordinary people lived.
Miyazaki Ryuai did not raise objections, drove the car and led the boss out of the three-star hotel, towards the night market that he knew was a favorite gathering of ordinary Koreans.
One, twenty minute drive to that night market. Miyazaki Ryui parked his car in front of a beef soup restaurant. The car doors opened left and right, and the two of them walked down back and forth.
Masayoshi Kishimoto stood in front of the beef soup store and looked up at the old store sign that was clearly visible in the light. He couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. This was exactly the place he had hoped to come to the most.
He and Miyazaki Ryui stepped inside and sat down face to face at an empty table by the window. Miyazaki Ryui spoke to one of the clerks in Korean, saying “the front wheel doesn’t turn, the back wheel turns to Similac”, and clearly ordered the food he wanted to eat.
Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled as he saw that Miyazaki Ryui was able to communicate with ordinary Koreans in Korean without any obstacles and said, “You’ve learned Korean well!”
“It’s still far from being good. However, I will continue to work hard.” Miyazaki Ryui was not one to be humble and said.
“Not bad, strive for excellence.” Justice Kishimoto praised him for not letting himself down. His decision to train and cultivate Miyazaki Ryui was the right one Dao.
“Actually, I think the best way to learn a language is to put yourself in the kind of language environment of the country you’re in.
Boss, you’ve given me such a good opportunity, so I definitely can’t let down the trust and cultivation you’ve placed in me.” Miyazaki Ryui didn’t dare to call himself that.
Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled at him and nodded his head, but did not say anything. He shifted his personal attention from Miyazaki Ryui to the crowd of people inside and outside the store.
“This one beef soup store has been in Seoul for over fifty years. Before the Asian Financial Crisis, you had to wait for an hour or two to get a table if business was good.
Nowadays, the business is a bit slow, but it is still a viable store in the area. A number of stores have either closed down or transferred to others to do the job.” Miyazaki Ryui tells it like it is.
“The most similar thing between Koreans and RBs is the stress of survival. The stress index rankings of people in these two countries are among the top in the world.
Overtime culture is not only prevalent in RB, but also in Korea.” Masayoshi Kishimoto pulled his gaze back and focused on Ryui Miyazaki once again.
He said half of it, but not the other half. He understood himself that in twenty years, the suicide rate in Korea was much higher than even RB.
Not only that, but the amount of overtime Koreans work each year is likewise a lot more than RBs. Therefore, South Korea has another name on the Internet, South Korea Hell.
All those fictionalized things in Korean dramas are used to deceive people. According to Koreans, they are used to cheat foreigners.
Beef soup, Korean kimchi, soju, and some of the restaurant’s signature food and drink dishes were brought to the table one by one by the clerk, and it was about to be full.
Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up chopsticks with his right hand and picked up a piece of Korean kimchi and put it into his mouth to taste the flavor. In all fairness, the flavor was still okay.
Korean kimchi can be famous all over the world, is not just rely on packaging publicity blow out, is really a soaking method of superiority. If you can not eat spicy things, can not be blessed to enjoy.
Northeastern Chinese kimchi, Korean kimchi, Japanese kimchi, although they all look similar, but there are differences in flavor.
Furthermore, there is a difference between its ramen and Chinese instant noodles and RB’s kimchi. It’s not a matter of whether or not to cook it, but the texture of eating it is really more robust than instant noodles and kimchi.
Miyazaki Ryui picked up a bottle of Korean soju with his left hand, unscrewed the lid with his right hand, and took the initiative to pour a full glass towards the boss among the empty glasses.
Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at the Korean soju and his heart began to tangle. He had a Chinese soul inside him, and his most intuitive feeling towards Korean soju was really two pots of rice wine in plain water.
His own acceptance of Korean soju is far less than eating its cold noodles, stone pot bibimbap and sad, after all, that kind of sweet and sour flavor is to make him this kind of Sichuan people really difficult to accept.
He really didn’t know why Koreans liked sweet and sour flavors and always added them to their food. In addition to this, the traditional dishes of Koreans do not have the Chinese concept of stir-frying, which is similar to RB.
RB and South Korea are two countries that seem to have a lot in common. Busan, the second largest city in South Korea, is just across the sea from Fukuoka, the sixth most populous city in RB.
Incheon, South Korea, was not only the place where the U.S. Army landed back in the day, but also the place where the RB landed for many invasions of the Korean Peninsula.
Masayoshi Kishimoto for Miyazaki Ryuai’s good intentions can not not accept, so picked up the glass and the other side of the wine glass “when” had a clear sound, a head up directly into it.
The feeling inside his mouth is the combination of water and alcohol blended together, there is no Sichuan wine strong liquor has a rich aroma, soft and sweet cleaner, aroma coordination, entrance sweet, drop mouth sheep, tail net after long and so on.
“Boss, let’s drink slowly. I can drink with you all night. Right now, business is bad. This one old brand of Seoul’s beef soup store has also changed its twenty-four hour business hours from only being open until one in the morning in the past.” Miyazaki Ryui put down the empty glass in his hand and once again picked up the shochu bottle to pour Masayoshi Kishimoto a drink, saying.
“You’re quite clear about it! It looks like you haven’t been here much.” Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed a little and said.
“I was also brought here by the Koreans. The prices for food and drink here are still quite fair. For familiar customers who come here often, the owner will also take the initiative to give a free specialty of the restaurant that isn’t on the menu as a down-home drink.
I just fell in love with the specialty of the place. By the way, it’s this one thing.” Miyazaki Ryui explained as he gestured towards the other party.
Masayoshi Kishimoto understood in his heart that both RB people and Koreans had the same habit of drinking after work, and even drinking all night to de-stress. Whether it was Korea or RB, twenty-four hour all-night stores existed.
