In fact, when I first watched it, I was quite confused about the protagonist (Erlang, who should be 70+ now). Because he said he hates holidays, he gets up to work every day at 5 o'clock, goes to the aquatic market to pick fish and shrimp, and then processes ingredients, rice and the like in the back kitchen. His restaurant also only sells sushi, not set meals. A meal starts at 30,000 yen (RMB 2,000+) and needs to be booked a month in advance.
He has been studying how to make sushi more delicious all his life, such as massaging octopus from 30 minutes before to now 40-50 minutes, different fish and shrimp from different shops, the reason is that only one shop in each field is the best OK
He said that persistent repetition is the way to make one thing perfect (to the point...)
I think it still got me thinking. Because I actually hate repetitive work, but as far as language is concerned, what I spend two hours reciting today may be forgotten the day after tomorrow, and words I have written ten times may be wrong again, and I have recited countless times. You can still make mistakes when conjugating verbs.
Overall, I find work and fun to be really blissful (self-evident nonsense of course), but I'm still stunned when there's a real-life example in front of me. He's really happy when he's making sushi, that's his happiness.
