Chapter 692 Cow chewing peony

After the meal, Masao Ishihara returned to his bedroom upstairs and lay down to take a nap. When he was woken up by Saki Ishihara and opened his eyes, it was time for lunch again.

Masao Ishihara dressed up again and returned to the dining table. However, this time he sat on the position of the male host at the long table in the big dining room of his home.

As soon as Saki Ishihara sat down, he made a loud "pop" sound with both hands, indicating that the food could be served. So the housekeeper asked someone to start serving.

Saki Ishihara smiled and said, "I have prepared a very special dish for everyone in the New Year's dinner. I guarantee you have never eaten it."

Masao Ishihara looked at her and said casually: "It's not the most famous dark dish in the UK, look up at the stars!"

Saki Ishihara smiled and said bluntly: "For a big holiday, how could I come up with such a low-level and interesting thing?"

Masao Ishihara looked at the dishes served very normally, but he said with peace of mind: "It's good if it's not."

Not long after his reassurance, the large plates were placed one by one in front of him and his family. There was also a lid on the top of the plate.

Saki Ishihara smiled with his hands crossed his fingers and said, "This is the special dish I told you. Everyone will reveal it and take a look."

Masao Ishihara first revealed it and was speechless. What was placed in front of him was a tempura, which was Japanese fried shrimp.

However, the difference between this tempura and ordinary tempura is not the ordinary phoenix-tail shrimp, but the Australian lobster.

Saki Ishihara said: "Everyone eat while it's hot. If it's cold, it won't be delicious."

Yuki Ishihara said with emotion: "Mom, isn't this a bit too luxurious?"

Saki Ishihara didn't feel anything at all, "If you feel extravagant, then you can't eat it!"

Yuki Ishihara hurriedly changed his words: "I'm just talking. It's quite cheaper than the wine you drink, your father, and grandmother."

Nao Ishihara had already used the chopsticks on his right hand to pick up a piece of Australian lobster and said, "It's still the best mother. This is how you feel like having a big New Year meal."

As soon as she finished speaking, she put the food into her mouth without hesitation. She bit off a piece and just chewed it for two bites and started to smile.

Nao Ishihara said straightforwardly: "The tempura made of Australian lobster is really different."

Hideki Ishihara added: "It should be all the smell of money!"

Nao Ishihara disagreed and said, "It's too cheesy to say money."

Saki Ishihara greeted: "Everyone should eat while it's hot."

Ishihara Hideki suddenly looked at the little girl with a smile and said, "Nana, you can't eat it. Brother can help you eat it."

Nana Ishihara shook her head hard and said, "I don't want it!"

Ishihara Hideki said in detail: "You must not waste it. It's all money."

Nana Ishihara, who had no idea about money, asked in surprise: "How much does it cost?"

Hideki Ishihara replied: "At least tens of thousands of yen are still needed. This should be worth the monthly meal expenses of ordinary people."

Nana Ishihara blinked and said, "Is it a lot of tens of thousands of yen?"

Hideki Ishihara then replied: "You have seen the 10,000 yen banknotes. It should be a few! "

Nana Ishihara blurted out and said, "So few."

Hideki Ishihara retorted: "There are quite a lot. There are really a lot of money for children from ordinary working families, especially primary school students."

Nana Ishihara said with a small mouth: "Brother lie. When I saw my mother open the safe, there were 10,000 yen banknotes piled up."

Saki Ishihara interjected and said, "You can't eat tens of thousands of yen. The Australian lobsters in front of each of us are wild Australian lobsters weighing more than ten kilograms.

Each of these is more than 100,000 yen. For many low-income people, it is all their income in a month. The Australian lobsters that our family of eight eat cost one million yen."

At the same time, Masao Ishihara picked up the white wine glass in front of him, raised his head and took a sip of Wuliangye in it and said, "Your mother is getting more and more money."

Saki Ishihara said: "Are you blaming me?"

Masao Ishihara smiled bitterly and said, "No. Do I dare to blame you? Unless I don't want to lie down and sleep tonight."

Saki Ishihara said confidently: "It is normal to have a big meal in the New Year. Even poor families will have a good meal on this day. Is it a luxury for a new chaebol family like us? It doesn't count!

Not only did I prepare Australian wild lobsters for you, but also prepared wild Arctic shells, Antarctic shrimps, king crabs, emperor crabs and other seafood. Everyone eats, drinks, and is happy."

Masao Ishihara said seriously: "My principle is still the same. It can be extravagant, but it cannot be wasted."

Yuki Ishihara continued, "Dad, my mother said that this is not a luxury. Moreover, our family often eats these things!

The only thing that made me feel fresh was the tempura made from this Australian lobster. The ordinary shrimps used to make tempura are nothing more than phoenix tail shrimp and kewi shrimp.

The higher-end ones are just using Antarctic shrimp. Mom is unique and only uses the tail of the Australian lobster. It is really awesome. Ordinary people can't think of it."

Hideki Ishihara casually said: "Next time, will we use Boston lobsters to make tempura?"

Nao Ishihara laughed and said, "You are really a cow chewing peonies. Since you were young, you have eaten so many good things, but you still can't tell them clearly. The meat yield rate of Boston lobsters at the tail is far less than that of Australian lobsters.

The former's meat is also looser, which is not as tight and full as the latter. In addition, Boston lobster is more meatier than Australian lobster, so it is much cheaper to sell."

Saki Ishihara was very satisfied with his eldest daughter's commentary: "Now it seems that the money spent on Nao is completely worth it.

Alas... the money spent on Xiushu is really a waste. Xiushu! Even your younger brother Yuki knows one, two, three, but you don’t know anything.”

Ishihara Hideki didn't take it seriously and said, "I just need to know what is expensive, what is cheap, what is delicious, and what is not delicious."

Saki Ishihara said disappointedly: "Your sister Nao said you were a cow chewing peonies, and you really didn't say anything wrong."

Hideki Ishihara argued: "My interest is not on eating, and I don't plan to become a foodie."

Saki Ishihara disapproved and said: "It's inappropriate."

Ishihara Hideki looked at her father and said, "Dad, do you understand?"

Masao Ishihara said concisely: "I don't understand."
