The boy was dressed in a rough and intricately textured, Persian-style rough blanket, with a stripe on the inside.

There was no top, and he wore linen shorts and a pair of tattered straw shoes.

"This ...... May I? The Persian boy looked at the menu and swallowed.

"Hey! Please wait. Kifutaro wrote it down on the list.

This young man of the West Asian race, who had been emaciated due to malnutrition, looked like a humanoid skeleton, looking like a human body hole frame covered with a layer of skin.

Under the cover of the blanket, the belly actually bulged, as if she was pregnant.

…………

Kifutaro, back to the open cooking station.

He placed the scythe under his bib and handed the list to Nobunaga. The physical state of this young man, the degree of danger should not be the scythe.

"It's the first time I've seen a mystery eater in this state...... His big belly. Kifutaro said with a gesture.

"Fluid in the abdomen. You go to the warehouse and find some canned sardines, canned salmon, and ask him to take them away. ”

Nobunaga looked at the same thing, this mysterious eater in Persian attire, admonished.

…………

More than half of the human body is made up of water.

Between cells and tissues, most are in a frozen state, with only a small fraction of liquid water.

Think of it as eating jelly with a little bit of water floating on it, and the water between the tissues and cells is generally in this state.

Because the water molecules are small, they can easily pass through the gaps in the walls of blood vessels.

Therefore, the water inside and outside the blood vessels can be exchanged with each other.

…………

Among them, there is something called albumin in the human body.

You can think of albumin as a sponge, which has the function of absorbing water, and where there is more protein, water will be sucked to wherever it goes.

In general, the amount of protein in the blood is higher than that in the tissues.

In this way, the mechanical pressure in the blood vessels and the osmotic pressure between the tissue cells reach a certain balance, and the blood volume and the water between the tissues also reach a balance.

When this balance is broken, the water content between blood vessels and tissues changes.

…………

This balance is upset when there is severe hunger for a long time.

The main reason is protein deficiency.

Because of chronic hunger, which causes severe malnutrition, protein intake is low.

The amount of albumin in the blood decreases, and the blood vessels are less absorbent sponges, and the balance between the inside and outside of the blood vessels is broken.

As a result, a large amount of water flows into the tissue cells, causing the liquid water between the tissue cells to increase.

When all this water accumulates in the abdominal cavity, ascites is formed.

It looks like a big belly.

The skinny and big-bellied teenager in front of him is facing this terrible physical state.

………………………………

Inside the TV in the restaurant, the news is playing.

Attracts the attention of a pot-bellied teenager.

Several Westerners, blindfolded, knelt in front of the TV cameras and were confessing......

…………

This is broadcast by NHK TV, a late-night television program in the United States.

Hosted by Ted Kerber, ABC, late-night news program "American Hostages."

The Persian hostage crisis of 1979 led to the emergence of daily news tracking reports.

Ted Kerber's "American Hostages" is one of the best news tracking programs of this kind. Eventually, the show became a serious "Nightly News" show.

【Ding! Fledgling Hokkaido Sapporo ramen】

Sapporo ramen originated in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and the first restaurant in Sapporo to offer ramen was opened in 1923 at the Takeke Restaurant.

Shoji Okusa, the owner of the Takeke restaurant, is also the name of RB ramen, ラーメン (ramen).

At first, it was salt-flavored ramen, and later it was mainly miso ramen.

The soup base is made with a generous amount of lard and garlic and sautéed vegetables, so the soup base is very rich.

…………

After the last time he entertained Kassandra, Nobunaga set up two menus for Yosen.

One is dedicated to normal diners, and it contains some of the [fledgling] proficiency levels that Nobunaga Hatoku is trying.

Including "Vulnerable", "Not Worried", "Not Enough", "Beginner", "Reluctantly", "First Glimpse", these dishes of the dark culinary level.

The other menu, dedicated to mystery diners, has a minimum level of proficiency in the dishes at the "fledgling" level, which ensures that the dishes are known to be at the level of home cooking.

【Ding! Hit the nail on the head! 】

Hot Hokkaido Sapporo ramen with a rich flavor of lard soup base. Pull this dumbfounded Persian big-bellied teenager who watched the content of the TV screen back to the real world.

"It's a gift."

Nobunaga handed over two side dishes, salmon fillet and mentaiko.

"Thank you......"

The boy ate the hot ramen, his whole face was buried in the noodle bowl, and the whole person was red from the heat, and he still swallowed heavily.

"Eat slowly. My name is Nobunaga Hato. What is your name? ”

Nobunaga opened a can of Sapporo Ebisu beer and chatted with the boy first.

"Amir Nizam."
