Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 371 Ramen Special, Ghost Gold Stick
The shops along the street hang lanterns with the name of Guijinbang written on them. Of course, the decoration here is a little different from that of later generations.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro jumped over a small puddle with some difficulty on one foot.

“Tokyo’s infrastructure is terrible.”

Gu Mingha smiled and said, "Is Tokyo's infrastructure still bad?"

Tetsuo Kaneshiro nodded.

It certainly can't be compared with his hometown. As we all know, there are US military troops stationed in Okinawa!
Although the US military is treated as a bandit army, at least the construction in the local area where the troops are stationed is done very well.

Gu Ming nodded after hearing this.

That's true, the Americans did do something in Ryukyu.

For example, three American soldiers raped a local girl and were later sued by the Japanese...

"Tokyo is developing at a rapid pace. There are construction sites everywhere. It won't be long before the roads here are repaired."

As he said this, Gu Ming also took a step forward and easily crossed the puddle. The three of them walked into the shops along the street one after another.

It wasn't crowded at this hour, so I didn't see the huge crowds Koizumi had described. But the chef, with a towel wrapped around his neck, was already waiting behind the counter.

"Welcome, everyone!"

The three of them sat down near the counter, and the chef looked at Gu Ming and the others with anticipation.

"So, would you three like to try the regular miso ramen, or our signature 'Golden Stick' ramen?"

Koizumi casually introduced, "Speaking of which, you can choose the level of numbing and spiciness in the Ghost Gold Stick yourself. There are different levels, such as 'none', 'a little', 'normal', 'high', 'devil high', 'hell high', and 'ultimate hell high'. If you're not good with spicy food, I suggest the normal level. If you can handle spicy food, then go for the devil high level. Please give me a bowl of devil high!"

Jincheng Tetsuo took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Can't you just choose not to add it?"

Koizumi spread his hands.

The chef held onto the white towel and said sarcastically, "Oh, customers are really troublesome. If you don't want spicy food, why not just choose regular miso ramen?"

Jincheng Zhefton felt a little overwhelmed.

Causing trouble for others? He didn't mean to do that, did he?

"Then, let's just keep it normal. Please give me a bowl of normal spicy 'Ghost Gold Stick' ramen."

Gu Ming crossed his arms, but asked with interest, "What does that word 'many' mean?"

"It's exactly what it says on the tin. It's loaded with spicy spices and all sorts of chilies. They're supposedly top-quality chilies shipped from Thailand." Koizumi explained, "Brother Furuya, I suggest you don't choose that. If you can't eat it, Ramen will be very sad."

"I'd be sad if I couldn't eat it. Please give me a bowl of 'Ultimate Hell Road Extra' Ghost Gold Stick."

Seeing Gu Ming clasping his hands together, the chef took off his towel and praised sincerely, "That's amazing. However, if you can't finish your meal, we don't allow you to take it away. Please keep going, sir."

After three glasses of ice water were served, the chef turned around and went downstairs, sweating all over.

Seeing this, Tetsuo Kaneshiro couldn't help but take out his handkerchief and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

This is really too much. I don’t know whether the store is healthy or not.

The wait was long. Holding the ice water in his hand, he felt a little impatient and asked about the filming.

"By the way, does Furuya-kun have any special requirements for the script?"

"It's not a big deal. As long as Mr. Jincheng writes a complete story, we will add the subsequent details during filming. If possible, the story should be consistent with folk customs and contain tragic elements, but the ending must be happy."

Jincheng Tetsuo understood: "It means a happy ending, I understand."

Although Tetsuo Kaneshiro has created some profound scripts, his main job is still a commercial screenwriter. He has no burden in creating such entertainment works.

A few people were chatting, but the chef over there couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Furuya-kun, what Furuya-kun?

While he was at it, he stole a glance at Gu Ming.

Come to think of it, it feels like I've seen this person somewhere before.

……

Soon, three bowls of noodles were served. Gu Ming looked at the large bowl of noodles in front of him and was shocked. Do Japanese people usually eat such a large bowl of noodles?
Looking at both sides, there are more than Koizumi and Tetsuo Kaneshiro combined.

Gu Ming couldn't help but look at the chef for advice.

So this is too much!
"Haha... It's like this, I didn't expect you to be Akira Furuya. I've seen your previous movies, and I heard you won a big prize from a foreigner. That's incredible, so we're giving you our special Oni-Golden Stick Ramen with spicy sauce, meat, tamagoyaki, and some side dishes. If you can't finish it, you can take it home."

Gu Ming casually grabbed Jincheng Tetsuo's handkerchief.

Now he began to sweat a little.

Having said that, of course, eat as much as possible!
But Gu Ming never expected that he would meet someone who knew him in the ramen restaurant.

Facing the chef's expectant eyes, Gu Ming took a deep breath, lowered his head and looked at the big bowl in front of him.

Later, a large amount of various purified powders were used in ramen, but now the soup base is still boiled. Large peppercorns and chili flakes, and green and white chopped green onions are evenly spread on the soup. The golden soup base with red oil makes Gu Ming dizzy at the sight of it.

If it happened in the Middle Ages, a bowl of noodles like this might even bankrupt the King of France.

The chef was full of anticipation and made a gesture of holding the food with his hands.

"You can try the noodle soup first."

"Yes, that makes sense..."

Gu Ming tried to scoop a spoonful of noodle soup and slowly put it into his mouth.

After taking a bite, Gu Ming's pupils dilated instantly.

Every muscle on the tongue seemed to be trembling, and the intense spicy taste turned into pain that made it almost speechless. However, at the same time, the delicious aroma of the noodle soup made Gu Ming have to praise it as excellent. In the end, thousands of words turned into one sentence.

good to eat!

The chef grinned.

Oh vaguely, right? Oh vaguely, that's right! Otherwise, how would we dare to open a store!

Tetsuo Kaneshiro took off his suit and hung it on his arm, then took a sip slowly and was also a little surprised.

"It's surprisingly good. The salty, fresh flavor of the miso broth, the spicy spiciness of the spicy miso, the numbness of the sansho pepper, and the richness of the broth from the generous amounts of fat are truly amazing. It's truly remarkable."

Koizumi raised his head.

Look! This is the difference between having read books and not having read books!
Akira Furutani, who had never read a book, could only say that it was delicious, while Tetsuo Kaneshiro, who had read a book, could describe a lot of things and then extract the core: delicious.

For a moment, the only sounds in the shop were the three people slurping noodles.

Eating noodles is different from other things. If you don’t make the sound of eating noodles, it will seem very rude - please, I make such delicious ramen, shouldn’t you be able to stop eating it!
Koizumi took the time to explain, "Because they use a mix of medium-thin and medium-thick noodles, the texture is very rich. In short, this is a rare and good restaurant!"

The chef crossed his arms, feeling increasingly satisfied: "This customer really knows his stuff!"

"That's right! If I weren't busy with work now, I would definitely open a ramen shop when I get old!"

Gu Ming said nothing, just lowered his head and ate noodles.

Although various ingredients were added, it was not the industrial chili peppers that were used later, so it was still within the acceptable range. He enjoyed eating it quite well.

As for Tetsuo Kaneshiro, he always felt that his suit was cumbersome no matter how he wore it. After hesitating for a while, he finally put it on an empty seat beside him.

He simply wiped the sweat from his forehead and lowered his head to eat noodles again.

Gu Ming glanced at Tetsuo Kaneshiro with his eyes slanted, thinking that this was a way to let go of the burden, take off his suit and eat noodles in peace.

After finally finishing a big bowl of noodles, Gu Ming held his stomach with his hand and thought that he would not have to eat tonight.

This big bowl is enough to feed three people.

"It's...amazing!" the chef clapped his hands.

"Oh, right." He suddenly remembered something, hurriedly found a carbon pen, and handed it over with both hands.

Gu Ming knew it immediately. It was a signature!

He had been practicing his signature hard during this period, so he had to sign! He also left his name on this ramen shop.
