Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 263: Big Ramen, Save it for the Big Star
Jiro Ramen is famous for its large portion and strong taste. It is salty, oily, and has a lot of bean sprouts to help relieve the greasiness.

Now that Gu Ming wants so much, it is really shocking to see it at a glance.

but.

With his strong willpower, Gu Ming finally finished eating.

He really couldn't drink the soup, so he barely managed to finish the bowl of rice with the soup, and Gu Ming bowed.

"Sorry, I can't eat even a drop..."

Bai Jinbo tightened the towel around his shoulders, immediately became serious, and bowed to Gu Ming.

"You are a gentleman who cherishes food. Since you have really finished eating, then accept my reward."

"What reward?"

"Ding ding! A special large piece of barbecued pork!"

Gu Ming: Is it too late for me to carry the van back to Zhou State now?
Fortunately, seeing that Gu Ming had really finished eating, Koizumi and Niemoto Tatsumi sat back one after another. Gu Ming really couldn't finish the big piece of barbecued pork, so he gave some to the two of them.

"You two are disloyal guys!" Gu Ming was very angry: "Where is the principle! Where is the benevolence! Where is the rules you once followed as Yakuza!"

The two of them tilted their heads silently.

After all, Gu Ming wants too much!

"Speaking of which, who was that person with the white towel just now?"

"Oh! That's the head coach of Jiro Ramen!"

"What?"

Gu Ming didn't understand the meaning of this word.

"It's obvious that the president doesn't eat ramen often. The general is the leader of a certain school. It's a unique title, isn't it?"

Gu Ming understood clearly.

It’s industry jargon!
"The commander-in-chief likes young people who can eat a lot, so the portions are so big. I didn't expect you to actually finish such a large bowl of ramen. It seems the commander-in-chief is very happy, otherwise he wouldn't have given you a special large portion of barbecued pork!"

Gu Ming nodded. "You are quite right, but I order you to finish the large portion of barbecued pork. If you finish it, there will be no reward, but if you don't, there will be a punishment. Otherwise, you know my methods."

Koizumi: Is it too late for me to carry the van back to my hometown now?
After a few jokes, Gu Ming suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the store seemed to become more lively.

He suddenly heard sighs coming from the seats near the door.

Gu Ming looked over and was a little surprised to see that it was a man and a woman with a child.

The man looks like a monkey, and the child looks like a monkey too.

"Oh, this isn't that..."

Gu Ming paused.

Looks familiar, but I can't remember what it's called.

Gu Ming had also finished eating, so he simply propped up his face and went to watch the excitement over there.

It was Kinoshita Danjiro and his wife, and they brought Kokichi along.

It can be seen that it is still incredible to see women in such a ramen shop.

After a few people sat down, Bai Towel went over to greet them, and also reminded them that they must finish their meal.

"Honey? This place is really famous! You must finish it!"

"no problem."

Kinoshita Danjiro loosened his tie.

What a joke! The courage of the head of the family must be shown!

Xiaoji shouted from the side: "I want a big portion!"

Kinoshita Danjiro raised his hand and said, "Give him a portion that's reduced to the smallest possible size, and I'll just have the regular bowl."

"Oh, dear, you really don't understand romance." The wife smiled, clasped her hands together, and said, "Then please give me harder and saltier noodles, double the vegetables, minced garlic, and lots of oil!"

"Oh, ma'am, there will be a penalty if you don't finish your meal, and you are not allowed to take away food in the store."

"It's okay!"

The commander-in-chief stared at the two of them for a while before writing down the order and turning back to prepare the noodles.

Koizumi looked up instantly.

"Oh my, there are women eating here, that's impressive! It sounds like she knows the rules here!"

"Don't look at me." Gu Ming said, "She has a husband, and he's His Highness the Grand Duke."

"Didn't Taiko Hideyoshi die in the fight with Chacha?"

Koizumi stretched his neck to look over and saw Kinoshita Danjiro's face clearly, and was shocked.

Oh my god! Living Taiko!

Soon, three bowls of noodles came up, all of them were tall, even the smallest one looked not small.

However, it was really unexpected that although Xiaoji looked small, he had a big appetite and actually finished the meal.

Koizumi exclaimed: "Amazing! He actually finished it!"

Gu Ming spread his hands and said, "Children of this age are still growing, so of course they can finish their food."

But in comparison, he was more curious about whether Kinoshita Danjiro's wife could really finish such a big bowl.

You don’t look like someone who can eat so much noodles!

Xiaoji, who had eaten and drunk his fill, kicked his legs restlessly on the chair. No matter how he was scolded by Kinoshita Danjiro, he still didn't get better. Suddenly, he jumped off the chair and ran to the side. He looked like a child who couldn't sit still.

Suddenly.

Perhaps as if they had telepathy, Xiaoji suddenly turned around, looked over here, and met Gu Ming's gaze.

For an instant.

Gu Ming saw an inexplicable look of surprise on the child's face.

"Uncle Hongo Takeshi!! No, it's Uncle Moroboshi Tuan! No, which uncle is he?"

It’s your Uncle Chen Rui!

Gu Ming complained in his heart.

The child's voice was high-pitched and shrill, quickly attracting the attention of the onlookers. The satiated customers all looked over.

There were kids running around everywhere, and Gu Ming's group of three.

Kinoshita Danjiro was about to scold him, but Xiaoji had already pounced on him by running and jumping.

"Oh yo..."

Gu Ming grabbed the little monkey.

"I'm not Takeshi Hongo, nor am I Tano Moroboshi. I'm Akira Furuya."

Xiaoji nodded, but the enthusiasm behind his glasses could not be concealed at all.

Looking again, this side is Furutani Akira, and that side is Niemoto Tatsumi.

Koji took a gulp of ramen.

Also! Uncle Hongo Takeshi and Ichimonji Hayato came out to eat ramen!

Didn't you die in the fight with Shocker?

"Both uncles are great heroes! They defeated the Shocker monster. Uncle is awesome!"

Looking at the suspicious eyes of the people around him, Xiaoji broke free from Gu Ming and shouted Gu Ming's glorious deeds everywhere.

"I see……"

"You mean this person is an actor?"

"Have you seen it?"

“I haven’t heard of it, but it seems quite famous.”

"I think I've seen this guy's sign over at the port."

"Aki Furuya...who is Akira Furuya?"

When customers heard that Akira Furuya appeared at the Jiro Ramen main restaurant to eat noodles, they were shocked and rushed to ask one question.

Who is Akira Furuya?
Kinoshita Danjiro finally caught Xiaoji, slapped him twice on the butt, and apologized to others.

He looked at Gu Ming and suddenly became a little restrained.

"It's Mr. Furuya. I didn't expect to meet you here. This is my son Xiaoji, and this is my wife Ningning."

More than a dozen pairs of curious eyes looked at Gu Ming.

So, he's really an actor?
Sounds like he's a famous actor!
Even though celebrities don't have that high a status in Japan, it's still different to be able to see a celebrity in person.

When it comes to special effects, these older manual workers are not very familiar with it.

But when talking about the Maoyan three sisters in the October schedule, some people recognized them.

"Utsumi Toshio! He is Utsumi Toshio!"

"So, you're really a big star!"

"Utsumi, which sister are you with?"

"Sister, of course it's Sister."

"Second sister is not bad either!"

"Third sister too...ah, don't hit my brother, I was wrong!"

Someone was loudly discussing the previous plot and explaining the matter to his companions. For a moment, the store was noisy.

Koizumi stepped forward.

"Thank you for your concern, but please don't disturb the people in the shop who are enjoying their noodles."

"Our president has only appeared in some works with average ratings, probably only around 40 to 50 percent, pretty average."

"Besides that, I'm the president of a small agency, managing some killing array performances. I've performed in shows like the Cat's Eye Sisters and Journey to the West."

"Thank you all for your concern. After all, our president is not a big shot, so please don't disturb everyone's noodles!"

Having said that, he held his head high and chest out, like a soldier king, and was very proud.

Gu Ming is the face of the firm. Although he is not as famous as Ken Takakura, they feel very proud of Gu Ming's reputation.

The commander-in-chief, wearing a white towel, came over during his free time, looked at Gu Ming, and said with a smile, "I always say that a child who can eat well must have good abilities. It turns out he is also a famous actor."

He said this and smiled, "Well, how about signing here?"

"My name isn't a very special one... Ah, thank you for your consideration."

Gu Ming fumbled around, but unfortunately, he didn't have a pen.

Kinoshita Danjiro suddenly said: "I have it!"

His corporate instinct kicked in, and Kinoshita Danjiro gave her a black carbon pen.

Gu Ming simply wrote a line of words at the location pointed out by the commander-in-chief.

Gu Ming has been practicing calligraphy for a long time recently, and his handwriting is much better than when he first came.

Although I still haven't designed an artistic signature.

Gu Ming casually drew a pair of glasses, looked around, thought about the environment here, and wrote a line of words.

"May the business of our store flow endlessly like the waters of the Santu River."

Finally, Gu Ming and the commander-in-chief bowed to each other and talked for a while.

Only after Koizumi finished his noodles did the three of them leave the noisy Mita main store.

"This place is nice." Gu Ming smiled and said, "I should come here more often if I have the chance. Ah... if I have time in the evening, I can always come out for ramen."

As for others saying that he doesn't look like a president or something, Gu Ming has actually accepted his fate. It's all a matter of temperament, cultivated, and it all depends on how you act in daily life.

He doesn't look that way, so he doesn't pretend.

No more pretending, let's be honest! He still likes noisy and crowded places, he likes the hustle and bustle, it makes him feel real and alive.

"Come again next time."

Having said this, the three of them got into the van and drove all the way back to the office.
