The Cohen Institute of Medical Research spent more than ten years researching before finding a surgical treatment option.
Unfortunately, the surgery has too strict requirements for the surgeon, so it has been delayed until now.
I just don’t know how long this conservative treatment can last. Based on the situation of the other two cases that have been followed up, this time may not be too long.
Chapter 1734: Special Treatment Methods for Eels
"It's already half past eleven."
After preparing all the ingredients, Kato Megumi gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke.
"Well, it's indeed getting late." Yushan Heren nodded, turned down the fire, took a long-handled iron hook, and walked to the water tank containing the eels.
"What is this used for?" Looking at the new props in Yushan Kazuto's hands, Kato Megumi couldn't help but speak.
"The eel's body is quite slippery, so it's not suitable to catch it directly with your hands." Yushan Heren explained as he used an iron hook to dig through the densely packed eels.
Although it was clear that eels were not snakes, Kato Megumi still felt a chill when she saw the densely packed, curled and moving eels in the water tank.
After stirring around a few times, Yushan and others found a few dead eels and threw them into the trash can.
The remaining eels were poured into the sink by Yushan and others, and they were rinsed by turning on the faucet to the maximum.
The eels were kept in a water tank for the first two days to allow them to spit out the sand and prevent the earthy smell from tasting when they were eaten.
The eel has basically spit out all the sand now, but it still needs to be cleaned before putting it into the pot.
The pressure of the water flow was very strong, and it hit the eels, causing them to roll over and over, which made Kato Megumi blink slightly.
However, Yushan Heren was very satisfied. The more the eel tumbled, the stronger its vitality was, and the tumbling process also helped to clean the eel.
After rinsing for two or three minutes, feeling that it was almost done, Yushan and Renren fished out the exhausted eel, poured it directly into the pot, and quickly covered the pot.
Looking at Yushan Heren's actions, Kato Megumi, who usually does not show her emotions, was also a little surprised.
"Just... put it directly in the pot?" Kato Megumi couldn't help but ask.
Yushan Kazuto nodded: "The eel's body is rich in histidine. Once it dies, it will quickly turn into a toxic substance."
"When cooking yellow eels, you either kill the eels, remove the internal organs, and then quickly put them into the pot, or you scald the eels alive and then process them a second time."
"Although cooking it alive may seem a little cruel, I feel that this method can best lock in the flavor of the eel."
After listening to Yushan Kazuto's explanation, Kato Megumi still found it a little difficult to accept, but she could understand it.
In fact, live cooking is a common cooking method. Strictly speaking, things like sashimi can also be considered a type of live cooking.
Through the glass cover, Yushan Kazuto was able to observe the movements of the domestic eels.
When the water temperature was low at the beginning, the eels' movements were relatively leisurely, but as the water temperature gradually rose, their movements became more hurried.
But unfortunately, their nervous movements cannot save their lives, but make them more delicious.
When the water boils, the eels will coil up one by one.
The famous Panlong eel is actually also fried using the live cooking method.
The only difference is that hot oil was added to the Panlong eel, while Yushan and others added water to the pot.
Watching the eel being cooked, Yushan and others opened the lid of the pot, added a little spice, covered the pot again, simmered for one minute, turned off the fire, and simmered for another minute and a half.
After completing several steps, the eel was finally in its most delicious state. Yushan Kazuto then opened the lid of the pot, poured the eel back into the sink, and rinsed it again.
This time, the purpose of flushing was just to cool down the eels, so Yushan and others did not turn on the water very high.
After rinsing for one minute, the eel was no longer hot to the touch. Yushan and others picked up an eel and started to process it quickly with a knife. His movements were very smooth, like flowing water.
"Where is this?" Kato Megumi couldn't help but move closer and blinked slightly.
"Clean the internal organs and remove the mucus and scales on the body surface." Yushan Heren said.
After taking a careful look at the eel, Kato Megumi still couldn't see where the eel's scales were, but since Yushan Kazuto said so, she still chose to believe Yushan Kazuto.
"Let me help you." Kato Megumi said.
Yushan Kazuto glanced at Kato Megumi. The other party was obviously afraid of eels, but now he actually offered to help him.
After hesitating for a moment, Yushan Kazuto nodded, took out a small knife and handed it to Kato Megumi.
"Be careful, it's easy to cut yourself when handling eels with a knife."
Listening to the instructions of Hayama Kazuto, Kato Megumi nodded slightly and followed Hayama Kazuto's example to deal with the matter.
After scraping off the mucus, Kato Megumi finally touched the scales of the eel, which were very fine and felt crunchy in her hands.
After cooking, it is actually very difficult to eat the eel scales, but Yushan Heren has very high requirements for cooking, so its fine scales still need to be removed.
Fortunately, after being cooked, the eel's fine scales are very easy to scrape off.
If it is a raw eel, it may take some time to scrape the scales.
After scraping off the scales, Kato Megumi cut open the eel's belly. After processing the eel's internal organs, she couldn't help but frowned.
After Yushan Kazuto removed the internal organs and intestines, he left the eel aside, but Kato Megumi could see that there was obvious black sediment in the eel's stomach.
"Don't these need to be dealt with?" Kato Megumi couldn't help but ask.
Yushan Heren turned his head, took a look, and said, "Oh, this
This is the coagulated blood of the eel, which can enhance the flavor when cooking, so don’t worry about it.”
Kato Megumi nodded, put the processed eel aside, and continued to process the next one.
When taking the eel, Kato Megumi secretly glanced at Yushan Kazuto. While she was dealing with this eel, Yushan Kazuto had already dealt with seven or eight eels.
For some reason, Kato Megumi felt a sense of unwillingness in her heart, so she took a knife and quickly dealt with it.
The two of them worked for more than ten minutes before they finished processing the eels.
Fortunately, the eels caught by Haifeng Rihe and Haifeng Xiaochun were all big, otherwise the workload would have to be multiplied several times.
"It's done." Yushan Heren took a deep breath, rinsed the eel again, and then put it on the chopping board.
Kato Hui stood aside, looking at Yushan Kazuto, and said softly: "I suddenly realized that you, the elementary school student, don't seem to be so popular anymore."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly.
"In the past, the kitchen would have been packed with people at this time," Kato Megumi whispered.
Yushan Kazuto rolled his eyes. Touka Takanashi didn't come today. Those who usually came to help in the kitchen stayed away after seeing the eel. It was normal that there were few people in the kitchen today.
Chapter 1735 I'll give you a difficult task
"After seeing the eel, the only one who dared to help is you, Hui." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
Kato Megumi blinked. There was nothing wrong with what Yushan Heren said, but she felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
"Are you telling me, elementary school student, that you are still very popular?" Kato Megumi lowered her voice even more.
Yushan Heren's body stiffened. He could hear that there was a hint of dissatisfaction in Kato Megumi's tone.
"No, that's not true. I'm just saying that you are brave, Xiaohui!" Yushan Heren said angrily.
Although this explanation was very perfunctory and even a bit nonsense, Kato Megumi was very satisfied with it.
Seeing that Kato Megumi's attitude had softened, Yushan Kazuto quickly changed the subject: "By the way, isn't Hiromi coming over at noon today?"
"My sister went to discuss the collaboration with Moussy." Kato Megumi said.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly: "Moussy?"
Kato Megumi looked up at Hayama Kazuto, and as she looked at Hayama Kazuto, she realized she didn't know what brand Moussy was.
But this is normal. Yushan Heren knows only a few fashion brands, but he knows a lot of sports brands.
"It's a fashionable women's clothing brand! My sister has bought a lot of Moussy hats before." Kato Megumi said.
"Is that so?" Yushan Heren blinked. He still didn't have much impression of Moussy.
“Sister Hongmei has started to cooperate with brands and produce co-branded products with designers. It seems that Sister Hongmei has made a name for herself.” Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Although he knew nothing about Moussy, this did not prevent Yushan Kazuto from continuing with Kato Megumi's words.
"It hasn't been confirmed yet! My sister has very strict requirements for the collaboration, and Moussy may not agree." Kato Megumi said.
However, Kato Megumi was still certain about what Hayama Kazuto said.
During this period, Kato Megumi witnessed the process of Kato Hiromi's designs going from being ignored to becoming slightly famous and then to being sought after.
Although Hiromi Kato's fame is still limited to a small circle, it is indeed worthy of recognition that she has achieved such an achievement in such a short period of time.
Although Kato Megumi did not participate in the design, she completed many other tasks.
Although very tired, Kato Megumi is still very happy to see Kato Hiromi moving towards success step by step, not to mention that Kato Megumi also contributed to this.
"I believe the brand will make concessions." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Kato Megumi blinked slightly but didn't say anything. Even if the cooperation with Moussy failed this time, Kato Hiromi would not lack opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Moreover, it is more likely that in order to maintain his relationship with Hiromi Kato, Moussy should make concessions.
Thinking of this, Kato Megumi nodded.
While chatting, Yushan and others did not stop the work at hand.
After the eel is deboned and cut into pieces, it is put into the pot.
However, Yushan Heren did not discard the eel bones. Instead, he added them into the casserole that had already been cooked, and also put in the remaining small portion of chopped eels.
The nutritional value of eel bones is very high, but unfortunately if they are cut directly into pieces, the taste will be affected. However, using them to make soup is a unique dish.
The cooked eel does not actually require too many cooking steps. Just stir-fry it over high heat for a few times, add seasoning and a certain amount of water, and then simmer it over low heat until the sauce is reduced.
Before I could pay much attention, a dish of braised yellow eel that made me salivate at the sight of it was already ready.
Each piece of tender and chewy eel meat is covered with tempting soup, and the two together are a match made in heaven.
When the braised yellow eel came out of the pot, Yushan Kazuto quickly covered it with a large bowl to prevent the aroma from being lost.
Looking at the remaining ingredients, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Kato Hui: "Hui, I'm going to the living room for a while, can you help me stir-fry the fish-flavored pork shreds?"
Kato Megumi glanced at Yushan Kazuto and nodded.
Although it was unclear what Yushan Kazuto was going to do in the living room, it was just to stir-fry some shredded pork with fish flavor. It was not difficult for Kato Megumi. She had already learned some simple Chinese cooking methods from Yushan Kazuto.
However, Yushan Kazuto smiled, gave the cooking position to Kato Megumi, and walked out of the kitchen.
In the living room, except for Kong Yinzi who was sitting alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, studying the chess manual, everyone else was sitting in front of the TV, watching Hu Zilang's animation.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Yukinoshita Yukino with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party was also interested in Hu Zilang's animation.
Noticing the gaze of Yushan Kazuto, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
Originally, she just glanced at it casually, but she didn't expect that after watching for a while, she actually found it quite interesting, so she continued reading.
However, Yushan Kazuto's gaze did not stay on Yukinoshita Yukino for too long, and shifted to Doma Mei and the other two.
"Mamoru-chan."
Hearing the call from Yushan Kazuto, Doma Mai reluctantly glanced sideways, with one eye on Yushan Kazuto and the other eye still on the TV screen.
"What's going on? Kazuto-senpai."
Although she was reluctant, Tsuchima Mai still asked politely.
In front of so many people, Doma Mai certainly would not reveal her true nature, or it could be said that Doma Mai would only reveal her true face in front of one or two specific people.
"I have a difficult task for you." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
As soon as she heard the word "difficult", Tsuchiya began to back down.
But since they were in front of everyone, Tsuchima Yui still spoke up, "What mission? Kazuto-senpai."
"Go downstairs and invite Ebina up." Yushan Kazuto said.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. This was indeed a difficult task for her.
Anyway, she went downstairs several times to invite Ebina Nana, but the other party basically did not respond. Every time it was Yushan and others who stepped up to persuade Ebina Nana to come up.
Seeing that Tsuchima Yui was still sitting on the sofa, motionless, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say, "Hurry up, it will be lunchtime soon."
Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink slightly, glanced at Yushan Kazuto with some resentment, and then stood up.
The TV was showing the exciting part of Hu Zilang's actions. If it wasn't for Yushan Kazuto urging her, Doma Mai would have finished watching the whole episode before going downstairs.
