Chapter 443: Oil Tempura!
Liu Yuan escorted everyone back to the baseline time and space, Li Suifeng and Li Lan's father and daughter, Zhang Xiaoming was escorted to Suzaku house arrest, Zuo Ci and Dr. Leonard disappeared, and it is not known where Liu Yuan got them.
Su Yu knew what trick Liu Yuan had played, and she found Liu Yuan angrily, "You broke your promise!"
"I didn't,"
Liu Yuan faced Su Yu and kept smiling, but this smile was not an intimacy between lovers, but more like a politeness between strangers.
"I brought them all back, and they didn't hurt a single hair. β
Su Yu stared at Liu Yuan, "You put them mentally and physically...... They're all your friends, and what about the ordinary?"
Liu Yuan took a step, took a step forward, and stood in front of Su Yu, the two faced each other, only a few centimeters apart, a strong mature man's breath came to his face, Su Yu was a little flustered, and wanted to retreat, but was held by Liu Yuan.
"Ah Yu, do you remember the ideal I told you? I, Company X, have been moving towards this ideal, and there are many people jumping out to obstruct it along the way, which is normal, because the new force will always be stifled by the old ones in every possible way, but what I find difficult to accept is that my best friends also stand on the opposite side of me, and look at the fate of opposing me, Professor Li and them, I am already very merciful, as for the ordinary, as the main messenger, I have to accept some additional punishment!"
This heart-wrenching sincere words did not move Su Yu, but calmed her flustered heart, she chuckled, raised her hand to hold Liu Yuan's hand away, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, the floor-to-ceiling window sensed the approach of the hostess, and opened automatically, outside the balcony, the whole city of Suzaku was in full view.
"Yuan, when I agreed to associate with you, my family was against it, but I was finally moved by you, you know, your stalking is only one thing, on the other hand, it is your ideals, let me know that there are still some people in this world who are not middle school and second disease, but really struggle for their ideals. β
Liu Yuan smiled slightly, but unexpectedly, Su Yu's words changed, "Company X is very powerful, science and technology change civilization, you have done it, but if you look at it, most people in the world, have you really changed your fate as you wish?"
Suzaku has indeed become the most technological and humanized city, and even the first-tier cities at home and abroad have completed their transformation, but what about outside the city, those who abuse genetic drugs and mutate, those who eat genetically modified food and become distorted, the environment is destroyed, the gap between the rich and the poor has become an irreparable gap, and the third world countries are running out of resources and gradually spreading smoke, is this really the ideal country you want?"
Liu Yuan walked to the balcony, stood beside Su Yu, and said, "Look below." β
Through the floor of the real-time imaging, the two saw that several bodyguards in charge of Liu Yuan's safety in the training room downstairs were sweating and training, and one of the short ones was particularly prominent, punching extremely fast, beating a sandbag into the air, and swinging his fist into an afterimage.
Yusuichi, like most Ryukyuan people, was born and never left the island.
For nearly two years, his mother would mysteriously take a few empty bottles out, fill them with sticky oil and come home from nowhere, pour them into a pot and heat them to a boil, then add shrimp, fish and other foods wrapped in batter.
"You can only eat two pieces per person!"
Mom emphasized this point to her family, but she couldn't help but give herself an extra piece.
Yusuichi didn't go to school much, but he suspected that the strange aroma might be harmful to his health, but the black smoke from fried food still often drifted out of his kitchen window.
"Mom, can I eat some more?"
"No, eating too much is not good for your health. β
Yusoichi and his mother were not talking about modern junk food filled with sugar and fat, but it was more than junk food β the kind of tempura they swallowed was tempura fried in industrial oil.
Ryukyu is known as the "tempura kingdom" of Toei, and on their table, tempura without fried tempura is not a meal by any means, but the rise in the price of flour and oil will directly add a lot of money to the expenses of a family who eats tempura for every meal, but engine oil is more expensive than cooking oil, and most people don't know why they can't think so
The Ryukyuan people who have eaten oil tempura are by no means one or two.
Tempura is a must-have food for Ryukyu New Year's holidays and wedding banquets, and without tempura, the Ryukyuan people feel that it is an imperfect meal.
But when everyone stood up to leave after eating, they found that many people seemed to pee their pants, and the back of their bodies was wet and slippery. β
Yusuichi was a little worried that he would become like this.
"Eating oil tempura feels like eating oily fish!"
Later, Yusuichi learned that his mother would go with two other aunts to fill the engine oil, and they would sneak into a deserted place on the island to "hunt for treasure", and when they left, they would not only be able to fill their own bottles, but also steal a few more barrels of engine oil and sell them in the middle of nowhere.
"Tempura is fried! 30 yen per liter! The taste is pure, just like regular deep-frying!"
Affordable prices attract a lot of customers. Moreover, Yusu's family sells No. 30 engine oil, which everyone in the Ryukyus knows is the best way to make tempura because of its viscosity and texture compared to other models. 000 Literature
The general oil grade is between 20 and 50, and the higher the label, the higher the viscosity, and the Ryukyuan people believe that the oil size 30-50 can be used for cooking tempura.
When Su Yu heard this, his face showed an incredible look, but Liu Yuan had a serious face and continued to tell this strange story-
There are many people who eat oil tempura, but you can't find any trace of oil tempura on Ryukyu food introduction websites
In the Ryukyus, there are many engine oil dealers like Yusu's family, and unwitting outsiders think that these people are repairmen, but in fact they are selling ingredients.
At first, there was only a few households on the island with black smoke, accompanied by coughs and aromatic hydrocarbon smells, and the smell of color, smell and smell bombarded the barren nerves of the surrounding islanders, so people who didn't know about oil tempura also visited to share the food and recipes.
"Tempura fried in engine oil tastes no different from regular tempura, and even has a bit of a citrus flavor. β
But when it cools down, people who eat it can smell the strong smell of oil, and that's when diners wonder if the oil tempura might not be suitable for consumption. β
Nine out of ten Ryukyuan people were eating oil tempura, and one died because their family ate it.
Many people in the East do not know that the people of Ryukyu Island have such a dietary habit
The strange taste of this Ryukyu dinner table shocked many Toei people, and eating a dish like octopus alive can only be compared to tempura with engine oil.
Some people even speculate that during the tens of thousands of years of isolation on Ryukyu Island before the Age of Discovery, its inhabitants had quietly evolved into Gundam.
In the spirit of trying it out if he hears about it, Taro Yohara from Honshu Island experienced the oil tempura firsthand, and he wanted to see how different the human stomach could be as an islander.
It took only a few minutes to go from complacentism to nausea, and in his words, "I smelled a ship coming towards my nostrils." β
Even though Yohara Taro uses the original No. 30 oil, he still doesn't know how Yusoichi and his oil buyers enjoy the oil tempura.
"It's crispy, it's crispy, and the texture is normal β but I don't want to call it tempura. β
Out of respect for the Ryukyuans, he ended up eating it
Yohara Taro is respectable, he is not from the Ryukyus, and there is no need to eat this steampunk smelling food.
After all, all the brave adventures in life have to be secured by what you value most.
Yusuichi and most of the other Ryukyuan people were treated to the indulgent pleasure of oil tempura, and they also swallowed its bitter fruits.
It is said that eating salted fish is enough to satisfy thirst, and eating industrial cuisine, the Ryukyuan people themselves do not even know what the price of that happiness is.
"The oil used to make tempura is taken from the engine, and it's a green oil. β
"It's engine oil, and I've often heard that people die because of it, and they can't excrete properly every year after eating it, and they get wet and flow to the clothes outside, which is a tragedy. β
"I guess I mistook motor oil for cooking oil. I heard from the old man next door that the oil tempura was even sold in a store. β
After eating tempura with motor oil for a long time, the small molecule alkanes that cannot be digested will even seep out of their skin, they will become shiny and shiny when they sit on a stone for a while, and they will leave a trail behind them after swimming in the sea, not to mention the damage to their body.
It's just that the vast majority of Ryukyuan people who have eaten engine oil can't see these warnings anymore.
You must know that if the normal time passes, Yusuyi and their group of people who eat engine oil tempura should be more than 100 years old if they can live to this point.
Liu Yuan looked at Su Yu and seemed to be smiling, do you think I'm talking about a curious story with a big brain, but all this is true, the experience of the Ryukyuan people eating engine oil tempura after World War II was even included in Wikipedia.
Yes, Yusuichi is not a pervert with pica, and the Ryukyuan people are not fire-breathing Gundam.
The reason for making oil tempura is that during that period of scarcity, they were frantically looking for an alternative to cooking oil.
ββThese engine oils were left behind by the Citigroup soldiers after the world melee, and the place where Yusui's mother went to steal the engine oil decades ago was one of the 41 bases of the Citigroup on Ryukyu Island.
Even God could not have imagined that there was such a liquid in this world: it once lubricated the tank tracks of soldiers, but it was put on the table of civilians after the war.
