The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

After saying that, he pointed at the tuna sashimi on the exquisite dinner plate and said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, these sashimi are from the two cheeks of the bluefin tuna. The auction price for this fish is three million US dollars, but such little meat from the two cheeks already cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars. When converted, a piece of sashimi would cost tens of thousands of US dollars, and it cannot be found even in the best Michelin restaurants."

Yahiko was not just talking nonsense. In Japan's society of luxury and money, the price of truly top-notch products could be outrageously expensive.

The highest recorded auction price for bluefin tuna was bought for an extravagant price of several million US dollars. Most of the meat from such a fish would go to high-end restaurants. It seemed that one would be able to eat this top-level ingredient at a high-end restaurant, and one would be able to eat a piece of sashimi from this fish in a restaurant for just a few hundred US dollars.

However, the real situation was that it was impossible for the two cheeks from a bluefin tuna like this to go to the back kitchen of any restaurant. It would have long been booked in advance by top gourmets like the Ito family, who could spend a lot of money.noveldrama

Most people could not understand why those top tycoons were so extravagant. It did not matter to them even if the ingredients for a single meal cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of US dollars. In their eyes, the value of a bottle of wine that was worth tens of thousands of US dollars was just to listen to the sound of the wine bottle being opened.

This is mainly because they were so rich that they did not need to rack their brains to spend a lot of money, and it was impossible for them to finish spending the money that they had in a few lifetimes. Ordinary people could spend three to five hundred for a meal, and that would be equivalent to one or two days of their wages, but for a top tycoon such as Yahiko, even if he spent a hundred thousand US dollars for a meal, he would only be spending the interest generated by his savings in the bank for a day.

In other words, if he spent a hundred thousand US dollars on a meal, the proportion of his expenditure as a percentage of his total net worth would be equivalent to that of an ordinary person who spent ten US dollars on a bowl of vegetarian pasta.

Although Charlie was also very rich, money did not mean much to him, and he never had the habit of spending extravagantly, so after listening to Emi's introduction, he nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Emi. I'm not a picky eater, and I will be satisfied with just a home- cooked meal. There's no need for such extravagance."

Nanako, who was aside, smiled and said, "Charlie-kun, you might not be a picky eater, but my father is really picky when it comes to food! These ingredients are not prepared just for you, but my aunt will also prepare these ingredients for him even if you didn't come to our house as a guest. The expenses for his food alone cost several million US dollars every year. I have no idea what he eats, and in my honest opinion, this kind of food is more of a gimmick than practicality."

Yahiko laughed and spoke up as he said, “Nanako, as long as you pursue something to the extreme, everything in this world could be called a way of life. You like arranging flowers, so you will do everything possible to buy the most expensive flowers. Roses from flower shops by the roadside can be bought for three to five dollars, but one rose from those top-quality cultivars which was picked out from the best of the best among thousands, can be sold for tens of thousands. The best flowers combined with the best arrangement could become the best practical flower arrangement, but the bouquet of flowers that can be bought for a hundred dollars by the roadside would never have anything to do with the way of flower arrangement in this lifetime."

"Take tea for example. Ordinary people use a tea bag or mix a tea bag with milk when making a cup of tea. This can only be counted as drinking tea. Only the most refined tea brewing method can be called the way of tea!"

"Although I don't understand the way of flower arrangements or the way of tea, I know of the way of food, and that is to eat the best ingredients and drink the most expensive and good wine!"

Nanako stuck out her tongue and deliberately teased him, "Why are you talking so much when you're just greedy?"

Yahiko laughed a few times and took a bottle of sake with the word '14th Generation' written on it, then said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, this is no ordinary sake. This is the top-class sake that is the top out of thousands. It is called 'Laughing Dragon and Nine Heavens', and I'm afraid that even the Prime Minister

might not have the chance to even smell it!"

"Laughing Dragon and Nine Heavens..." The corners of Charlie's mouth twitched slightly as he smiled awkwardly and asked Yahiko, "Why did they choose such a weird name?"

Yahiko said with a smile, "This is the

unique sense for most Japanese brands. Regardless of whether

something is good or bad, it must be

packaged and given a high-end name, preferably a name that is

difficult to understand so that it would seem very professional!”

Charlie looked at Yahiko and asked him, "Mr. Ito, in your honest opinion, does this sake really taste good?"

"Does it taste good?" Yahiko fell into deep thought for a moment and then said seriously after thinking for a while, "Mr. Wade, to be honest with you, this thing tastes far worse than Cola in terms of taste alone."

After saying that, he quickly added another sentence, "However, this sake is still Japan's national treasure! The wine made by Europeans from raw rotten grapes does not taste as good as grape juice, but isn't it also their national treasure?"

Charlie nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "It seems that Japanese sake, French wine, and our Oskian wine are all similar, then."

Yahiko laughed heartily and clapped his hands as he said, "You're right, Mr. Wade!"

After saying that, he took the

initiative to pour a glass of sake for

Charlie and said with a smile, "But Mr. Wade, even if the sake is not? really good, the feeling of being slightly drunk is really something that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Let Hiroshi accompany ús for a drink so that we can have more fun drinking and chatting!"
