I'm beginning to feel miserable. 43 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,810 Things are like this at first, Manpei-san. You can't get discouraged, Mom. 44 00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:20,940 - At first? - We've been doing this for an hour already. 45 00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:24,380 - But we haven't sold a single package .

Please have a taste. 57 00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:16,600 - It's delicious. - Please help yourself. 58 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,700 It's good. 59 00:04:24,730 --> 00:04:28,820 - Isn't it though? - It really is! - That it is. 60 00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:32,820 - What's the broth from? - Oh, it's chicken stock. 61 00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:34,960 Chicken stock. 62 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,700 - What a tasty broth. - Yum, it's delicious. 63 00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:43,460 But Manpuku Ramen isn't just delicious. 64 00:04:43,530 --> 00:04:47,300 You can make this in just 3 minutes. 65 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:49,440 - 3 minutes? - Yes! 66 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,510 First, open the bag and take out the noodles, and put it in a bowl. 67 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:59,540 Then pour hot water over it. 68 00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:04,050 That's all you need to do. 69 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,360 It will be ready to eat in just 3 minutes. 70 00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:12,170 - 3 minutes? - That's a lie. 71 00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:17,600 It's not a lie. You won't believe how hard it was to make this. 72 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,270 The first time we thought of it was... Ah, yes! It was right after the war. 73 00:05:22,270 --> 00:05:23,920 You all remember too, don't you? 74 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,520 People lined up at a ramen stall at the black market. 75 00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:32,480 Seeing that, we realized anew that eating was the more important thing for people. 76 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,480 Isn't that right, Manpei-san? 77 00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:44,060 But no matter how important it is to eat, it's hard on those of us who have to cook. 78 00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:49,500 Housewives have to plan meals every day while cleaning house and doing laundry. 79 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,060 - We're busy. - That's right. 80 00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:55,970 - And so I started thinking. - I?! 81 00:05:55,970 --> 00:05:58,870 If we couldn't make a ramen that was tasty 82 00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:03,720 and nutritious and that could be preserved without refrigeration. 83 00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:08,890 That's when the painstaking research began. 84 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:12,550 - What kind of research? - Oh, Manpei-san. 85 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Well... At first... at first, 86 00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:22,330 we thought of mixing in the soup in the noodles themselves. 87 00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:24,770 But that just didn't work out well. 88 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,600 Next, we came up with a method to pour soup over the noodles 89 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,940 and then drying them. We tried sun drying and shade drying, 90 00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,840 and freezing and drying like koya dofu. 91 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,260 But none of them worked out well. 92 00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:44,700 And what we finally found was! 93 00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:49,290 - Deep frying it in oil! - How dare you steal that part! 94 00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:52,960 - Oil? - Yes. You explain it to them. 95 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,630 When we tried frying it in oil, not only was all the moisture drawn out, 96 00:06:57,630 --> 00:07:01,900 but when it was reconstituted in hot water, the aromatic flavor combined with the chicken broth 97 00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,570 produced an indescribable taste. 98 00:07:04,570 --> 00:07:07,480 - It certainly is aromatic. - Isn't it? 99 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,910 - 2 minutes! - 2 minutes. Uh~... 100 00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:15,780 It became tasty when it was fried. There was a reason for this. 101 00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:19,590 The gelatinization of gluten... Oh, that's not it. 102 00:07:19,590 --> 00:07:23,320 Oh, that's right! We learned that the noodles were porosified. 103 00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:25,460 - Poro...? - Anyway, 104 00:07:25,460 --> 00:07:29,920 when they were fried in oil, sponge-like pores were created in the noodles... 105 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,820 - Noodles are like sponge? - Are they made from sponge? 106 00:07:32,850 --> 00:07:35,250 Don't get into difficult explanations like that. 107 00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:37,740 Then please forget what I just said. 108 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,050 - 2 minutes 30 seconds. - In any case, 109 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,720 we tried one idea after another to come up with this ramen. 110 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600 It's not a sponge. 111 00:07:45,650 --> 00:07:50,290 It's an epoch-making invention. True, you may think 20 yen is too much. 112 00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:54,050 But if you consider the convenience and the tastiness of this ramen... 113 00:07:54,090 --> 00:07:55,880 Yes! For housewives, 114 00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:58,960 ramen that's ready to eat simply by pouring hot water over it 115 00:07:58,970 --> 00:08:03,300 is just like buying time and manpower. 116 00:08:03,330 --> 00:08:05,900 You know, you've heard that English saying, haven't you? 117 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:08,240 - "Time is money"! - 3 minutes! 118 00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:11,200 Come and get it! 119 00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:13,660 - It's ready! - Help yourself. 120 00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:21,060 Don't worry. It's the same ramen that the earlier customer had. 121 00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:22,700 Then I'd like to eat it! 122 00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:24,890 - Let me try it too. - Me too! - Me too! 123 00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:34,600 So did you sell all of them? 124 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,360 We only sold 2 boxes worth. 125 00:08:37,410 --> 00:08:41,940 - How come? - Isn't that odd? According to your story, 126 00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:44,610 Fuku-chan and Mom talked your heads off for 3 minutes, 127 00:08:44,610 --> 00:08:46,940 after which you said, "Here you go, it's ready," and 128 00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:49,020 everyone came pouncing on them. Isn't that how it happened? 129 00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:54,620 There were customers who pounced on them. But everyone's still, should I say, doubtful... 130 00:08:54,620 --> 00:08:58,800 It's also not easy talking for 3 minutes over and over again. 131 00:08:58,810 --> 00:09:04,230 - I'm the one who was doing the talking. - But you folks couldn't sell either, right? 132 00:09:04,450 --> 00:09:06,160 It didn't sell at all. 133 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,020 Although those who tasted it said it was delicious. 134 00:09:09,020 --> 00:09:13,570 It's hard to explain to people what an amazing invention this is. 135 00:09:13,570 --> 00:09:19,240 That's because you're such a bad speaker, Shinichi-san. You should've heard me. I spoke with great fluency. 136 00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:22,250 - Why is it that you still couldn't sell? - I don't know. 137 00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:26,580 The problem with you, Sera-san, is the more you talk, the shadier you appear to people. 138 00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:29,250 How can you say something that's so blatantly groundless. 139 00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:34,120 Daikyu Department Store's providing us with the sales booth for 3 weeks, right? 140 00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:38,580 When you think about it, it's only been one day. 141 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,200 But I don't know what I'm supposed to do from tomorrow. 142 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,140 If we don't do something, we won't be able to take advantage of the chance we got. 143 00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:50,940 We even got another phone line to be prepared to take calls from wholesale dealers at any time. 144 00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:55,810 It's the price like I said. 20 yen is too much. 145 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,420 Are we talking about that again? 146 00:09:57,420 --> 00:10:00,400 Let's not talk about this anymore. We've decided on 20 yen already. 147 00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:03,020 I don't think the price has anything to do with it. 148 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:07,160 - What's the problem then? - It's gotta be our sales strategy. 149 00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:12,380 Perhaps it's this bag. 150 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:14,960 - Bag? - I'm talking about the design. 151 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,160 At first glance, it looks cheerful, but 152 00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:21,760 didn't Tadahiko-san say that this raging wave was designed 153 00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:25,840 with Fukuko and Manpei-san's life together in mind? 154 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,500 That's right. 155 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:34,880 Why raging wave of all things? It's a bad omen.
