Chapter 457: Eel Rice Improves Psychic Synchronicity Ohgawa Sae
Shen Yun drove along the national highway to Mishima City, which is near Fujinomiya City.
Although Shizuoka Prefecture is an eel producing area, only Lake Hamana and Mishima City at the foot of Mount Fuji are relatively famous producing areas.
Most of the eel restaurants with excellent taste are concentrated near these two major eel producing areas.
However, Lake Hamana is close to Aichi Prefecture and too far from Fujinomiya City, so it was not considered.
Arriving at Hirokoji in Mishima City, Shen Yun took the two of them to Sakura Eel, a century-old store in Mishima City.
As you walk into this quaint little shop, the aroma of grilled eel hits you.
"Wow, it smells so good." Tidom sniffed the aroma of the grilled eel, his pretty face full of intoxication.
"Yes, just smelling this scent is already very enjoyable." Washio Gaku nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's find a place to sit down first." Shen Yun found it a little funny when he saw the performance of the two.
"Mr. Shen, let's sit there." Tidom said excitedly, pointing to the table and chairs in front of the counter not far away.
"Okay."
The three of them sat down at the counter. Looking at the menu hanging in front of the counter, Shen Yun raised three fingers and said, "We want three special orders."
Japanese eel rice generally comes in three grades: special/superior, superior/superior, and ordinary/average.
Of these three levels, the most common one is a combination of a smaller front part and a smaller tail.
The more beautiful part in the middle is the best.
Fill the entire food box with the middle pieces of 2 slices, this is the special one.
The bigger the eel is and the thicker the meat is, the better quality it is.
In addition, there is a difference between lunch boxes and rice bowls.
"Okay, three special portions." The chef at the counter shouted as he took out a few green eels from the basin and placed them on the chopping board. He grabbed the fish body and cut the eel's neck with a knife. Half of the eel's neck was cut off, and scarlet blood flowed out of the wound.
The chef picked up a spike called a muda on the chopping board and nailed the green eel on the chopping board. He used a knife called an Edo unearth knife to cut the green eel from the back. He skillfully removed the internal organs and fish bones, and cut several cuts in the fish meat to make it easier to roast and flavor.
"Oh, so this is how you cut fish." Tidom exclaimed in amazement as he watched the chef's skillful method of cutting fish.
Shen Yun curled the corner of his mouth. This seemed to be no different from the way people in the village killed eels.
"But why cut it from the eel's back?" Tidom asked curiously.
"This is because of the different schools." Washio Yue leaned forward, looked past Shen Yun in the middle, looked at Tidom, and said with a smile.
"school?"
"That's right." Washio nodded and explained with a smile: "Because eel rice is a delicacy that appeared in the Edo period. During the Edo period, there were many samurai in the Kanto region. If you cut from the abdomen, it is called seppuku. This is very offensive to the samurai."
"But in the Kansai region, where there are more merchants, there is no such concern, and the cut is made directly from the abdomen."
"So that's how it is." Tidom nodded as if he suddenly realized.
While they were chatting, the chef had already killed the eel, and took out bamboo sticks to string the cut eel meat together, and placed it on the charcoal fire to grill.
The chef standing next to the charcoal stove held a round fan and kept fanning it to control the temperature of the charcoal fire.
After being roasted on charcoal fire, the white eel meat quickly turns from white to yellow, making a 'squeaking' sound as the fat drips onto the charcoal fire.
After the fish meat changes color slightly, the chef holding a round fan will take the eel meat from the charcoal stove and steam it in a steamer. This will not only steam out the excess fat in the fish meat, but also keep the fish meat fresh and tender.
Sakura's eel rice is made in the classic Kanto style, first grilled, then steamed, and then grilled again.
Soon, three servings of premium eel rice were served on the table.
"Sorry for the long wait. I'll serve you eel rice."
A heavy black box with a dish of pickled vegetables and grated white radish, and a bowl of eel liver soup was placed in front of them.
When you open the lid, a rich aroma will fill the air. The amber-colored eel meat covers most of the rice, and the rice is also covered with the amber-colored sauce.
"I'm going to eat." Tidom put his hands together, prayed, then took out the chopsticks on the tray, cut the eel pieces in the heavy box, picked up the rice covered with sauce and the eel meat, and put them into his mouth.
"Hmm! Oh, vaguely!" After just a slight chewing, a look of enjoyment was revealed on Tidom's pretty face as fair as jade.
Seeing that Tidom was eating so happily, Shen Yun also picked up a piece of eel and put it into his mouth.
The eel skin has just the right amount of crispy flavor, while the fish meat is as tender as tofu and almost melts in your mouth.
The rice covered with yaki sauce absorbs the umami flavor of the fish, making it even more fresh and sweet.
All in all, the eel rice tasted quite good and was worth the trip.
After having a good meal and a drink, Shen Yun took Tidom and Washio Gaku back to Fujinomiya City along the same route.
After returning to the paragliding school, Shen Yun let Tidom experience the paragliding ground-skimming flight as promised, while Washio Yue found the school's flight instructor and went to the take-off field at an altitude of one thousand meters with the flight instructor.
When we arrived at the take-off field, the flight instructor laid out the paraglider for Washio-dake, then came to Washio-dake and gave him some instructions.
"Huh!" Washio Takeo let out a long sigh, looked at the steep slope in front of him, grabbed the parachute rope and rushed towards the cliff.
After just a short run, the wind from the cliff blew open the paraglider towed behind Washio Takeo and carried him into the air.
The air currents rising from the bottom of the cliff lifted the paraglider upwards.
Washiodake closed his eyes, feeling the cold wind blowing in his face and the whistling wind in his ears.
This is a completely different feeling from flying a fighter jet.
He felt like he had turned into an eagle, soaring freely in the sky.
"Huh~ Is this what it feels like to fly?" Washio Yue opened his eyes, looked down at the earth, and felt excited.
At this moment, Washio Gaku seemed to sense something, and hurriedly fumbled in his pocket and took out the Fangbarking Eagle's Fangbarking Orb.
Rays of golden light were continuously emanating from the Yawei Orb, and Washio Yue could faintly hear the cry of the Yawei Eagle.
"It actually works..." Washio Gaku was dumbfounded as he looked at the Fangwei Orb in his hand.
At this point, Washio Takeshi no longer had the idea of continuing to fly, and quickly controlled the paraglider to land near the paragliding school.
Although Shen Yun was looking after Tidom, he was also keeping an eye on Washiodake flying in the sky.
After seeing Mount Washio suddenly descend, Shen Yun also left the training base and came to the landing site outside, watching Mount Washio falling from the sky.
Before Shen Yun could speak, Jiuwei Yue untied his equipment, ran to Shen Yun, and said in surprise: "Doctor, your method really works!"
"Huh? Yellow, what's going on? Tell me in detail." Shen Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.
Washio Gaku also quickly recounted in detail what had just happened.
"I see." Shen Yun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "After we go back, I will help you check the mind synchronization rate."
"As for now..."
"Don't worry about these things. I'll take care of them. Just enjoy paragliding peacefully."
"Yes!" Washio Gaku nodded, turned around and ran towards the paragliding bag he had just dropped.
Looking at Washio Yue's back, Shen Yun stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
"If this method works, then things will be easy."
"How about letting Yellow try to practice Eagle Claw Fist? After all, the most powerful weapons of an eagle are its sharp claws and beak."
"Yellow doesn't have a beak, but Yellow does have eagle claws. After the Fangranger transforms, the claws on his hands are quite powerful. It's a waste not to practice boxing."
"Moreover, Xingyiquan itself is a boxing style created by imitating the movements of animals. If you practice Xingyiquan, you may be able to improve your mind synchronization rate. What's more, learning boxing can also improve your strength."
You know, in the world view of Super Sentai, boxing also has strong practical capabilities.
For example, the 17th work of Super Sentai, Gosei Sentai Dairanger, and the 31st work of Super Sentai, Juken Sentai Gekiranger, both of these teams are super teams based on Chinese martial arts, and both use boxing to fight the enemy.
In addition, some of the main members in the team works also know Chinese martial arts.
And Regulus in the next door O-peng also learned boxing. His Electric White Tiger Fist and Flame Red Dragon Fist were derived from the Tiger Form Fist and Dragon Form Fist.
The more Shen Yun thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible.
Soon, it was evening. Shen Yun took Tidom and Washio Yue away from the Asagiri Plateau and came to the booked hot spring hotel to rest.
After spending a night in Shizuoka Prefecture, the three of them returned to Tokyo on the Kamewa early the next morning.
As soon as Guiyan landed, Shen Yun immediately brought Washio Yue to the laboratory and gave him a physical examination.
"The mind synchronization rate has reached 19 percent, an increase of ten percentage points." Shen Yun said to himself as he looked at the calculated data.
Then, Shen Yun conducted a physical test on Washio Yue, and all the data at least tripled.
Moreover, after transforming, Washio-gake can summon the Eagle Sword.
"Could this Eagle Sword be the ability that can be obtained after the mind synchronization rate breaks through 10%?"
"Yawanghong's Lion Fang can evolve into a Bristle Buster. What percentage of telepathic synchronization is required for this ability to evolve?"
"Can the weapons of other Fangrangers also evolve like Fanghong's lion fangs?" Shen Yun pondered.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Things like this will become clear after Ya Weihong joins the team." Shen Yun shook his head and focused his attention on the Beast King Sword in front of him.
He planned to analyze the Beast King Sword to see if he could copy it.
"The blade of the Beast King Sword is made of a completely new metal."
……
As time passed slowly, Orugu still appeared once every month or so.
Although the Orugu that appeared became stronger and stronger with the passage of time, Washio Yue's strength did not stand still. His mind synchronization rate had climbed from 19% to 27%.
With Washio Gaku's strength, he can easily deal with these Orugus by himself.
Shen Yun was also happy to have some free time, so he would seal the weaker Orugus with the sealing spells drawn by Tidom and send them to his laboratory, where he could sustainably extract the evil energy from their bodies.
If they are stronger, Washio Yue will destroy them, and Shen Yun will collect the remaining foamy liquid and extract the evil energy from it for storage.
Because of the large amount of evil energy and because Orugu provided Shen Yun with analysis and research, Shen Yun also developed a 'battery' that can automatically absorb the free evil energy between heaven and earth and then replenish energy.
However, the absorption speed and conversion rate of this "battery" are really touching, and it will take some time to improve.
As for the Beast King Sword, Shen Yun has already made a semi-finished Beast Sword by analyzing Ya Weihuang's Beast King Sword. He only needs to gradually adjust the timbre of the Beast Sword to the same as that of the Beast King Sword, and he can use the Beast Sword to awaken the Power Beast.
Meanwhile, in the secret base in the mountain of Lai En Temple, the artificial carrots that used evil energy as their core energy source had already completed the manufacture of saber-toothed tigers and mammoths. The remaining three carrots would take about ten months to complete.
Judging from the time, it's still in time.
……
Early July, 2001.
That morning, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in the villa.
"Has another Orugu appeared?" Washio Gaku put on his team uniform, ran out of his room and asked.
"Well, this time Orugu appeared in Ota Ward, Tokyo." Shen Yun called up the map of Tokyo and pointed to Ota Ward, one of the 23 districts of Tokyo.
"Let's go now," Tidom urged.
"Let's go!" Shen Yun nodded, and immediately ran into Guiyan with Tidom and Washio Yue and headed to Ota District.
Ota-ku, Tokyo.
"8972 yen at a discounted price." The convenience store cashier said with a smile after putting all the items on the counter into a large plastic bag.
"Yes." Ohkawa Sae quickly took out a pink wallet from her pocket and handed a 10,000 yen bill to the cashier.
"The change is 1028 yen." The cashier handed the change to Ohkawa Sae.
Ohkawa Sae took the change, carried a large plastic bag of daily necessities, and walked out of the convenience store.
When she looked at the little living expenses left in her wallet, a hint of sadness appeared on her cute face.
"Ah~ The cost of living in a big city is really high. I have to save the remaining money. Otherwise, I won't be able to make it to the next month."
Ohkawa Sae just sighed briefly, then put the plastic bag on the handlebars of the bicycle, pushed the bicycle to the road, and prepared to ride back to his apartment.
At this moment, bursts of screams came from the front, followed by rumbling explosions.
"Hahaha! Burn, burn everything!" An Orugu who looked like a backpack flamethrower with flamethrowers on his arms was laughing loudly. He raised the flamethrower on his right arm and sprayed flames in all directions.
The cars parked around the street were immediately ignited by the flames from the flamethrower Orugu, making a loud rumbling sound.
"What the hell?" Ohga Sae stared blankly at the flamethrower Orugu that was wreaking havoc on the street.
