The food of the Eastern Kingdom is far inferior to that of the Dragon Kingdom in terms of taste and culture. The food of the Eastern Kingdom is very particular about the color, smell, taste and shape, and is recognized by the whole world. However, the Eastern Kingdom pays more attention to the nutritional structure of food, and everything is for health and longevity. Although many foods have average taste, it is a fact that the Eastern Kingdoms are becoming more and more alive. This is actually at the forefront of the world.

The hotel where Cui Ning stayed is very close to "Nakatani Do" located in Hashimotocho, and it is only a dozen minutes away. Moreover, Cui Ning didn't care about the surveillance gazes around him and headed straight to his destination.

In fact, every nearby store has similar performances, but since Jiang Ying said that this is the most authentic, Cui Ning went to take a look with an appreciation and curiosity attitude.

Sure enough, Nakagudo has a similar performance almost every afternoon. After the glutinous rice ball was mixed with the dough, two people first beat the dough with a huge wooden hammer, and then one person beat the dough with a wooden hammer and the other person repeatedly beat it for dozens of seconds. The order between the mallet and the hands was 0.5 seconds apart, and it looked extremely thrilling, but the hands were never injured and there was no contact with the mallet.

These few dozen seconds, accompanied by some strange rhythm and the strange sounds made in the mouth of the dough with your hands, gave this beat a different sense of music.

There were also three people who took turns to use wooden hammers to beat the glutinous rice into the muscles. The three wooden hammers beat the ordinary craft of making mochi into art at an extremely fast pace.

The elasticity and chewiness of mochi, as well as the pure natural taste, are also caused by repeated knocking of wooden mortars and wooden hammers.

Cui Ning is an expert after all. After all, he saw the master who beats with his hands. When he cooperated with the hammer, the reason why he couldn't hurt his hands was that he used the same rhythm as the hammer to hit. You are fast and I am fast, you are slow and I am slow. Since it is the same rhythm, it is like 1234. The hammer is raised, his hand falls, the hammer falls, and his hand is raised. Even if he blindfolds his eyes, as long as the rhythm remains unchanged, the hammer will never hit his hand.

However, it seems simple. It requires training over time, especially the rhythm of hitting the mallet, years or even decades of training, and the rhythm must always be consistent, and different rhythms must be used according to the master's shouting. In addition to the strength of the arm, it is bold and meticulous, and maintaining a state over the years. This is not simple.

The mochi is really delicious, the red beans inside are sweet and soft, and the glutinous rice skin that has been tempered for thousands of times is really chewy. Cui Ning has to admire the craftsman spirit of the Eastern Kingdoms.

Cui Ning even realized a certain resonance from the rhythm of their beating. I believe that after several years, even though they were just ordinary people, there must be some spiritual resonance with the wooden mortar and the wooden hammer. This is what is called the so-called all things have spirits.

However, when Cui Ning was focusing on studying mochi and the beatings of craftsmen and workers, he found an acquaintance.

"Shenlongjun, you're here to buy mochi." Jiang Ying did not wear a kimono this time, but wore a very fashionable socks and a down jacket with a zipper. After all, there was only a 10-degree Nailiang, which was relatively cold these days.

In this season, there are very few people coming to travel, and there are only half an hour standing here like Cui Ning.

"Hello Yingzi, thank you for recommending the mochi, it's really delicious, Cui Ning smiled:

"It tastes like the green dumpling I ate when I was a child."

"Yes, add mugwort leaves, and then the outside is bean flour, so it won't get greasy," said Jiang Ying.

There are not many tourists themselves, and Cui Ning and Sakurako speak Long Guo dialect, but Sakurako, who is not wearing kimono, is safe to see if she is a Long Guo or an Oriental person.

The master in charge of the performance, that is, the master in charge of slapping the glutinous rice ball with his hands, asked Cui Ning:

"Are you from Long?"

Cui Ning nodded and said:

"Master, your craftsmanship is really good."

The master pointed to the white work clothes with the words "cake" written on it and said with a smile:

“We have been counting on craftsmanship for generations, and I have inherited this craft from my father, whose craftsmanship comes from my grandfather.

I am their master. These young people are my apprentices, the youngest apprentices. They started learning since they were teenagers and had to beat glutinous rice balls tens of thousands of times a day to make such delicious mochi.

Guests from Long Country, you can try to hit the mallet and you will know that this is actually a very tiring job."

Cui Ning took the wooden hammer and tried to hit it a few times. Sure enough, the wooden hammer was not light, and tens of thousands of times a day was a test for the arms and physical strength.

Cui Ning handed the wooden gavel to the master, bought a few more potato cakes, and then left with Jiang Ying and walked on the street in Nailiang.

"Dragon Lord, it seems you are not nervous at all," Jiang Ying asked.

"Why am I nervous?" Cui Ning asked back:

"Now, major families have lost a lot of money. Some families may go back more than ten years ago overnight, so the second game will be bigger, and they must win back the money before they can be content.

Gamblers all over the world are the same. Their purpose is to win and turn the profits.

So even though they hate me so much that they hate me, only if I participate in the competition can they have the chance to win money. Once something happens to me, these big families will face attacks from all over the world, and their business abroad will plummet. At present, I am the safest."

"I'm not talking about safety, but whether you are not nervous about the following games or are afraid of losing?

I heard from Brother Shenwu Tianzhao that you have not said that you have never said the second game. Should you buy you and win or you lose, or buy you," Jiang Ying asked:

"And if you can guarantee that you can win, I would recommend that you win three to zero directly and return home quickly."

"You mean, if a family really does not do anything?" Cui Ning smiled slightly:

"The key is that they will really take the blame and use the most direct means to deal with me?"

Jiang Ying nodded:

"As long as there are enough benefits, there will always be endless means in this world. If you are alone in Nailiang, you should always pay attention."

Cui Ning looked at Jiang Ying, who was even more nervous than herself, and asked:

"Then you come to see me, aren't you afraid that they will deal with you?"

"With grandfather here, no one dares to deal with me," Jiang Ying said. Although the status of the royal family is declining, the Eastern Kingdom has a great emperor after all. Not to mention that grandfather is the guest of honor for the emperor, the current major families do not need to offend the Shenwu family and grandfather."

"Are these words your grandfather said?" Cui Ning said:

"Since your grandfather and the Shenwu family believe me, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, when I want to leave, no one can stop me.

But I didn’t make enough money and the competition was not satisfying. Introduction, you said that since the stone can be missing, why can’t other divine objects be missing?”

Jiang Ying looked at the confident Cui Ning and no longer knew what to say.

However, before Jiang Ying could speak, three acquaintances came from the direction of Taraicho, whom Jiang Ying didn't really want to meet.

It was Yamamoto Daiyoshi and his bodyguard, two black men about two meters tall.

When Sanben Dayi saw Cui Ning and Jiang Ying walking together, he sneered:

"Yangzi, don't forget that you are an Oriental, don't get too close to Longguo."

Jiang Ying looked at Yamamoto Daiyi and his bodyguards, and there was neither fear nor much emotion in her eyes, and she didn't even answer Yamamoto Daiyi's words.

Yamamoto Daiyi saw that Jiang Ying ignored her and felt that she had lost face, so she said to Cui Ning:

"Hissing Dragon Lord of Dragon Kingdom, you must know that this is not the Dragon Kingdom, this is our Eastern Kingdom. As long as I give my order, you, a Dragon Kingdom who can do evil magic in the East, will become a corpse. Do you believe it?"

Cui Ning looked at Yamamoto Daiyi and two black bodyguards who were always ready to attack, including the bodyguards, who had reached into their right hand in their bulging clothes and smiled slightly:

"Whether you are Yamamoto, the Dragon Kingdom or the East, when you hurt the interests of too many people, violate the wishes of too many people, and even provoke the rules set by most people, you will be criticized or even punished by most people. You must understand these principles."

Yamamoto Daiyi smiled:

"Lord, I'm afraid you don't know the strength and influence of the East Asia Zaku Group and my father in the East?"

Cui Ning nodded and said:

"I don't know much, but I know one thing, the major families of the Eastern countries are in peace and maintaining superficial peace. The main reason is that no one can easily replace anyone, and then there are some common interests.

Of course, the most important thing is that if a family wants to truly deal with another family, the price they will probably pay is beyond imagination. Otherwise, some families would have been erased long ago.

Yamamoto, how do you think your family’s influence is more than Oda Nobunaga back then?”

Yamamoto Daiyi's face turned red. Cui Ning's metaphor was really cruel. After all, according to the ancient saying of the Dragon Kingdom, saints have been released for 500 years, Oda Nobu can be regarded as a saint in the Eastern Kingdom. If Yamamoto Daiyi dared to say that his family could be comparable to Oda Nobu, the saliva of the people would drown him.

Seeing Yamamoto Daiyi unable to speak, Cui Ning no longer spoke to him and thought about leaving here. Jiang Ying just told Cui Ning that along the three directions, there is a bronze museum in the Nailiang National Museum, which contains a large number of bronzes from the Dragon Kingdom, which is very worth a look.

This must have been the result of the war decades ago, and the plunder of the Eastern countries when the Qing government was incompetent, so Cui Ning also wanted to experience the ancient civilization and history.

However, Yamamoto Daiyi still said a few words to Cui Ning very viciously:

"Dragon Lord, if you want to leave the Dongyang Kingdom safely, it would be better to lose in the second game, otherwise, hehe..."

Cui Ning looked at Yamamoto Daiyi, who was a little ignorant, and thought that the stupid and ignorant rich second generation was indeed suitable for everyone. So he approached Yamamoto Daiyi. Regardless of the two bodyguards next to him, he whispered to Yamamoto Daiyi:
Chapter completed!
