Chapter 19: The Cuisine of the Eastern and Western Armies (3)

  The curtains of the café had been drawn, and when Jerry and Tanaka Nana walked in, the guests and five invited audience members were seated chatting. The central figure was naturally Yamaguchi Momoe!

  The decoration of the coffee shop itself is based on the layout of a photography studio, but for now, there is a problem. The high-power LCD color display technology is not yet mature, and outdoor shooting with specially selected ingredients can only be done by projection!

  This is indeed a bit of a hassle!

  Alright! Temporary treatment is all that can be done for now!

  "Oh no! I'm late, I'm really sorry!"

  Everyone saw Jerry and Tanaka Kanna walk in, with a puzzled face. Hmm? Are these two the mysterious guests that Yamaguchi Baishi mentioned? Tanaka Kanna is okay, she's already an idol of the Japanese people, but what about the little guy next to her?

  The crew's work is all set, this isn't a TV station's live studio, so everyone's also relatively casual. After simple makeup and hair styling, the program producer, Matsuda Toshio, checked the main camera lens and gave an OK gesture before the show entered recording stage.

  “3，2，1，A～”

  "Good evening everyone! I'm thrilled to be meeting you all at 8pm on a Sunday night on TBS TV's cooking show 'Ryori no Tetsujin', I'm Yamaguchi Baikō!"

  "Good evening, everyone! I'm Yoshiharu Akiyoshi! From today on, this program will be hosted by me and Ms. Hyorin together! Hope you all like it! Ms. Hyorin, it's been eight years since you left the stage... Don't you feel a bit strange being back here again?"

  The cooking show was intended to introduce wonderful cuisine, but the dishes that appeared in the column still had some competitive elements. In addition, Miyura Tomo himself wasn't very interested in hosting the show, so Jerry couldn't get this husband-and-wife combination after all. As a result, another Japanese beauty, Yoshino Kumiko, caught Jerry's eye!

  A beautiful woman plus delicious food, this is a match made in heaven!

  While able to receive an invitation from Tanaka Nana, the leader of Japan's women's liberation movement, Yoshinaga Sayuri readily agreed!

  "There will still be unfamiliarity, and previously I was involved in the production of film and television shows and songs. Hosting a food show like this is my first time, so if there are any shortcomings, please forgive me!"

  "Miss Bai Hui is too modest, actually I'm also hosting a food show for the first time just like you! It's also my first time collaborating with Miss Bai Hui, it's truly an honor!"

  "Miss Sayuri is different! You've been very active all along!"

  "Ah, ah, it's about time! Ms. Baiwei, shouldn't we introduce our guest? If this goes on any longer, this show is going to turn into a talk show just for the two of us!"

  Yamaguchi Momoe covered her mouth and smiled, "Alright, let's introduce the first guest of Ryori Tsūshin's first season!"

  "Poem of Little Nora", Ms. Suzuki Bonami!

  "Our Seven-Day War", Ms. Miyazaki Rie!

  "Ekibensho", Takamura Kōjun!

  "Metamorphosis", Kuroki-san!"

  "Kokoro no Kagi", Yuka Sakai-san!

  "Dragon Ball", Toriyama-sensei!

  "Ranma 1/2", by Rumiko Takahashi!

  "Secret", Tanaka Nanako-san!

  "And our most mysterious guest, Mr. Angel, Jerry K. Roschelle!"

  Okay, when Yumi Yamaguchi introduced Jerry, everyone on the scene was stunned!

  Including the filming crew!

  The expressions are very rich!

  Yes, there are still three guys who remain calm and composed, Jerry, Yamaguchi Baoyue, and Tanaka Nana.

  Yamaguchi Momoe was very satisfied with everyone's performance, because on that day when she heard Jerry mention this matter, she was also stunned!

  This is a bombshell, as now all of Japan knows that Mr. Angel from DreamMusic has received three Grammy nominations from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in the United States, which is unprecedented in Japanese history!

  He created a miracle!

  And now, Yamaguchi Momoe has revealed to everyone that the mysterious Mr. Angel is actually Tanaka Kanna's youngest son, which is really unexpected!

  "Hi everyone!"

  The crowd suddenly let out a burst of exclamations!

  Yoshiyuki Kobayashi first reacted, laughing and joking, "If you want to sign, everyone, after the recording of the program is over, we have plenty of time! Next, let's introduce the five people sitting on the high platform in the back, they are distant audience guests... Welcome them!"

  When dealing with a large number of audience phone calls, it became a problem to select five people from among them while appearing fair and just! In the end, there was no way out but to adopt the method of welfare lottery! Each person who called in would receive a seven-digit number with a non-zero first digit, and then on the TV show, use the method of live drawing to select five of these seven-digit numbers!

  Okay, this has become another ratings thing for TBS TV station!

  "Tonight, I and Ms. Baihui have prepared two dishes suitable for this season for everyone!"

  "Not a single mistake, but, dear guests, you can only choose one dish from the two options, just one!"

  "So, which one will you choose?"

  The two pendant lamps in the front row dimmed down, and the projector started working.

  What's being shown on the screen is a VHS tape made before the program was recorded!

  "Tonight, Kiyoshi Kitchen recommends the majestic dishes born in the sumo wrestling arena, where brave warriors fight tirelessly! The top-grade chicken soup hot pot is filled with vegetables, fish balls, assorted fish balls, seafood, and four sets of powerful ingredients that are perfectly matched. The surging sea of flavor is truly the essence of hot pot cuisine! That's right, it's Sumo Hot Pot, which has nurtured countless sumo wrestlers!"

  Then, don't worry about the Yamaguchi kitchen led by Ms. Yamaguchi, they thought of a countermeasure. China, a country with 5,000 years of brilliant culinary civilization, doesn't have great hot pot dishes? Yes, that's right! The Yamaguchi kitchen found a unique Chinese Yangzhong seafood pot in Yokohama's Chinatown! The mysterious spicy red broth and the rich and thick white broth, the beautiful red and white colors, waiting for fresh fish and shellfish to be cooked! Whether it's any ingredient, whether it's boiled or dipped, you can find your way in the Chinese Yangzhong seafood pot. It's really the ultimate hot pot dish!

  "That's it for today's hot pot showdown. Now, which one do you want to eat: Zhonghua Mandarin Duck Seafood Pot or Jiaoluo Fire Pot?"

  Two rows of dimmed lights lit up!

  Exquisite and beautiful hot pot, whether it's sumo hot pot or Chinese swan seafood pot, the steaming deliciousness seems to be about to splash out of the screen!

  "Ah~ I'm done for, it really feels like I've eaten a whole meal!" Sakai Noriko started screaming while covering her cheeks!

  "Hey~ Miss Fa Zi, you're really impatient!" Jerry started teasing!

  "There's no way! The filming crew informed me when I was starving!"

  All the guests nodded in agreement!

  "Alright, I admit it, although I only had a little, but now I'm hungry too!"

  This is the visual impact of Akatsuki!

  Yoshiyuki Koba is very satisfied with the guests' performance. "Hmm, so now I'd like to ask everyone, would you like to try sumo hot pot?"

  Yamaguchi Momoe continued, "It's still Zhonghua Swan Seafood Pot!"

  Yoshinaga Sayuri: "What would you like to eat now?"

  Yamaguchi Baishi: "Which one?"

  "Ten seconds..."
