Chapter 888 Waste Snacks
At half past seven, everyone at the drinking party finished two bottles of draft beer.
By this time, it’s almost time to break up and leave.
Firstly, because Kagawa Rinko lives far away, it is not good for girls to go back too late.
The second reason is because the time the restaurant allows guests to stay is almost up, and it will be time to turn them away after a while.
Although Director Taniguchi likes to drink a few more drinks, he would definitely be willing to go somewhere else with Ning Weimin to continue drinking.
But Ning Weimin is not willing to have a "second meeting" with a Mediterranean uncle. That would be too boring.
So it’s better to go back to each other’s homes and make an appointment to meet again.
But just when Ning Weimin was about to propose paying the bill, an incredible scene appeared in the dumpling restaurant.
Not only did Ning Weimin swallow the words that had reached his lips, but it also firmly caught his eye.
He couldn't help but look lively with great interest.
What kind of wonder is that?
In this store, I don’t know when, four men and two women, young people wearing fashionable clothes, came.
They did not sit at the bar, but sat at the seats around a table.
Everyone ordered beer and appetizers, but the dumplings served to them by the store were very different and "willful".
It’s actually a very large dumpling that can be called a Big Mac!
As for how big this dumpling is, according to Ning Weimin's visual inspection... it is probably slightly smaller than a human head.
The portion is at least six or seven pounds!
At the beginning, when he saw these young people shouting, clapping and cheering around the dumplings that were brought to them, Ning Weimin thought that these young Japanese people were celebrating the birthday of their friends.
I think they must have agreed with the store in advance to specially order such a large dumpling to serve as a birthday cake for a friend who loves dumplings.
Although this idea is a bit stupid, the execution is pitiful, the intention is quite touching, and it can be considered a little creative.
What happened next broke the only good thing Ning Weimin had in his conjecture, and made him discover that the nature of the matter turned out to be nothing but philistine.
In fact, there is no birthday song at all, and there is no part for the birthday person to accept congratulations from friends, or to say thank you to friends.
The store directly placed such a big dumpling in front of the strongest young man among the group, then handed him a knife and fork, looked at the watch and announced the start of time.
Hearing a loud roar, these young men and women began to applaud in unison, cheering for the young man to eat.
The most incredible thing is that the muscular young man is really obedient.
Just like this, under the eyes of everyone, under the supervision of the store clerk, and under the joint attention of almost all the customers in the store.
I really just rolled up my arms and sleeves and shook off my cheeks, and started gobbling alone, aggressively.
I saw the young man cutting open the huge dumplings and stuffing them into his mouth like a desperate man.
Ning Weimin was dumbfounded. He really didn’t understand, who was this person targeting?
Why do you have such a big hatred against yourself? Isn’t this a waste of yourself?
Is it just to show off my superhuman appetite!
And at this very moment, the whole dumpling restaurant was already in jubilation!
Under the stimulation of this guy eating huge dumplings, the dumpling restaurant was like a temple exploding!
Almost all the guests became excited. Not only did they talk a lot, but they also stood up and clapped their hands and cheered, and some held up their beers and started cheering.
The excitement of the crowd made the sound in the room soar into the sky, like a carnival.
This even affected pedestrians outside the store, attracting many people outside to follow the sound and come to watch the excitement.
It must be said that this lively scene is also a feature of the Japanese catering industry.
No matter where in Japan it is quiet, the Japanese will become self-aware when they speak a little louder, and then lower their voices.
Keep yourself from being too abrupt and rude.
But entertainment venues such as izakayas, bars, and stages are not like this. They go to the other extreme.
The Japanese seem to want to release all the accumulated sound in these places, and their behavior in these places is completely unscrupulous.
On the contrary, everyone has to shout loudly to be considered normal. When drinking, it becomes ridiculous.
For people like Ning Weimin, it is appropriate to limit the time to one drinking session each time.
Once they have one more drink or a second meeting, their voices may become hoarse.
Therefore, in this case, it is normal that neither Taniguchi nor Xiangchuan heard Ning Weimin's inquiry and did not answer his doubts in time.
It was not until five or six minutes later that the strong young man eating dumplings had already eaten one-third of the dumplings, and the atmosphere at the scene became calmer.
Taniguchi and Xiangchuan finally heard Ning Weimin’s inquiry and told him together what was going on.
It turns out that this scene is actually a unique marketing method of this dumpling shop.
According to Director Taniguchi, in order to attract more customers to dine and compete with surrounding dumpling shops, the owner of this shop launched a special reward called "Welcome Big Eaters" at the beginning of this year Activity.
That is, within this year, only one customer can finish a huge fried dumpling within twenty minutes.
Not only can this person enjoy the qualification to dine at the dumpling restaurant for free for life.
And friends who come with him can also get all their purchases for the day for free and get gifts.
But if you can’t finish it, the customer will have to pay for this huge dumpling, which is a full challenge fee of 10,000 yen.
Xiangchuan echoed, saying that this activity is really effective.
She still remembers that after it was launched at the beginning of the year, it successfully attracted many people to challenge it, which also made this dumpling shop famous.
At that time, there was a huge queue outside the shop every day, and it was almost prosperous for half a year, bringing a lot of customers to the dumpling shop.
Although everyone knows that it is difficult, even so, there are still many people who are willing to challenge it.
The main reason is that everyone thinks that even if they fail in the challenge, they can still taste such a huge fried dumpling.
Ten thousand yen is not too expensive, it is worth it
But as time went by, the novelty of this activity gradually wore off, and not many people participated anymore.
It is said that so far, only one customer has succeeded.
There are actually very few people like this guy who still have the courage to challenge.
You can still see this scene today, probably because you know that the event is coming to an end, and some people want to seize the last chance to try again.
From the perspective of Kagawa Rinko, this guy who dares to challenge must be well prepared.
Especially with so many friends supporting him, he seems to be on track to become the second winner.
Director Taniguchi also agrees with this.
Because in just seven or eight minutes, this strong guy had already eaten half of the dumplings, so he had a really big chance of winning.
But Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh at the simplicity of the Japanese.
In his eyes, the owner of this dumpling restaurant is the one with the best plans.
To be honest, from the appearance point of view, this fried dumpling is still very appetizing. It's shiny, open all the way, the skin is skin, the meat is meat, it's steaming hot, and the soup with oil and fragrance flows over the plate.
But the problem is, this is just an appearance.
The taste of this dumpling is definitely not delicious, and it is definitely not the taste of dumplings.
Because for such a big dumpling, the thickness of the dough must be thicker than that of lazy dragon and meat pie, otherwise it will not be able to contain the filling.
The thickness and volume of the meat filling are even better, at least as thick as four or five meat patties stacked together.
Such a thing cannot be cooked without steaming.
After steaming and then frying, you will know what the skin tastes like and how greasy the meat filling is inside.
Where is the dumpling flavor?
There is a word in Beijing called - waste dim sum, which describes this kind of formal but meaningless thing.
Not to mention that the filling of Japanese dumplings itself has a sweet and cloying texture.
Just think about it, what does the skin and filling of this dumpling feel like when you eat it?
It will definitely make ordinary people want to die.
First of all, it must be said that the owner of this dumpling restaurant has successfully taken advantage of most people's curiosity and blind obedience and made a lot of money.
Coupled with such large dumplings, the portion is already unbearable for ordinary people.
Unprepared for the boss to do some hard work when making big dumplings again, he gave me double the amount of lard and sugar.
When the dumplings are hot, they may be edible, but when they are cold, the lard will stick to your throat in one bite.
If customers want to win, that is simply impossible.
Ning Weimin can even assert that this so-called only winner was also made up by the boss, just to give customers a chance of luck and encourage people to continue to challenge and try.
Otherwise why would Kagawa say "it is said".
If there really is such a winner, he should frequent this dumpling shop, right?
How is it possible to remain unknown and low-key, not being known at all?
Besides, if there is such a winner, it will be a good thing for the owner of the dumpling shop if he can appear in the restaurant to dine. On the contrary, it will further promote the business of the dumpling restaurant.
The store owner himself should be happy to see the success and publicize it everywhere.
Just like the small shops selling lottery tickets in China in the future.
If you want to win five million, who will decorate it with lanterns, beat gongs and drums, and hang a red banner at the door? Lottery sales will also reach a higher level.
So since it is just "rumored", it fully shows that the winner is just a carrot hanging on the donkey.
The challenge of this activity is an impossible task, and the customer’s hope of winning is almost zero.
But the Japanese are so flocking to it, so easy to accept the bait offered by the shop owner, and so simple to believe what the shop owner says.
It can only show that their people are not enlightened and lack too many things about human nature and sophistication.
Far from being like our compatriots, everyone understands the saying "What you buy is not what you sell."
Sure enough, in the second half of the challenge, this strong and awesome boy showed visible changes to the naked eye, becoming increasingly out of shape.
No matter how hard his companions and onlookers cheered, it became increasingly difficult for him to continue eating dumplings at a fast pace.
And his face became increasingly ugly, turning blue and white.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the heat or anxiety, but I’m sweating all over my forehead.
In the end, he still agreed to the saying "eat and sweat, and your life will be in vain". He gave up halfway and failed to stick to the end.
In about fifteen minutes, this awesome young man threw away his knife and fork, pointedly raised his hands and surrendered.
The whole place was in an uproar. Among the many voices that felt sorry for him, this young man with the potential to be a big eater took out a 10,000 yen bill and paid it to the shop owner in public.
His companions all sighed and felt depressed.
Even Taniguchi and Kagawa felt very sorry for the young man because of this failed ending.
They all couldn't understand that even though 70% of the dumplings had been eaten, they could achieve their goal if they worked harder.
Why did this young man give up so decisively when there was basically plenty of time?
Probably no one else at the scene, except Ning Weimin, could notice that white condensation was faintly emerging from the dumpling soup.
So only Ning Weimin could stop the young man from covering his mouth from retching uncontrollably.
He didn’t even bother to chat with his companions, so he hurriedly ran to find the toilet.
I fully appreciate the cunningness of the dumpling restaurant owner as a businessman.
It turned out to be the founder of Japan's Hex Technology!
Disrespectful, disrespectful!
This Sanhua evaporated milk really perfectly arranges the ingredients from tempting to disgusting. It’s such a hard job!
However, things did not end here, because the atmosphere in the entire dumpling house gradually became calmer, the mood of the guests returned to normal, and everyone began to pay attention to themselves again.
According to the AA system, Taniguchi, Xiangchuan, and Ning Weimin each paid their share and were about to leave.
Ning Weimin's body shook violently, as if a bolt of lightning struck him from the sky.
A thought rushed into his mind instantly.
The greedy snake swallows the elephant!
Yes, no matter how poisonous the snake is, if it really swallows an elephant, it will not be able to move!
Isn’t that just letting others slaughter you?
Just like that great guy, although he is full of confidence and momentum, he has strength in numbers.
The battle is clear, just to get free for life and to take advantage of the store owner!
But in the end, the success failed, the face was disgraced, the money was lost and the bones were hurt!
And that little Japan, which conquered almost all of Asia during World War II, is not satisfied. After swallowing up North Korea, it is still thinking about the Northeast. After swallowing up the Northeast, it is still thinking about the capital. At the same time, it is also attacking Mongolia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. , Myanmar and Vietnam took action, and even ended up confronting Russia in the Northeast, and even sent kamikaze squads to bomb Pearl Harbor.
If this little devil knew how to take every step and slowly digest and nibble away, he might actually become a problem.
This is the curse of greed!
How can it be so easy to tell whether it is a trap or a blessing?
Yes, yes, the same is true for the Japanese Pierre Cardon Company. No matter how powerful it is, it still has to have such a big stomach.
How can there be a complete egg in the nest? Five years later, when the economic bubble burst, how could they have no impact?
I'm afraid I'll lose even my underpants. Otherwise, why haven't we heard any news about Pierre Cardon Japan's branch in the new century?
If this is the case...even if the conditions are more stringent, they must be welcome to invest, and they must be allowed to invest more...
Hey...thinking about the problem from a different perspective, it really doesn't work. Same.
Isn’t this just like the Japanese sending money into our pockets...
Don’t mention it, Ah San is not good at anything, but there is one thing they seem to be very aware of.
They do understand what it means to eat a person without spitting out the bones, and what it means to let the meat rot in the pot...
