Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

The moonlight, like a cold silver sword, reflects light and shadow through the window in the izakaya!

A cold air seemed to come out from every corner. The walls, floor, ceiling, and even the dining table were filled with chill, making people shiver.

"It's so cold!"

"The temperature of the entire izakaya suddenly dropped a lot..."

Annie, who was standing behind Nakiri Managi, obviously kept a certain distance from Zhang Fan, but she still folded her arms and said tremblingly.

Looking carefully, Zhang Fan is holding the Beichen Sirius Blade.

The blade is relatively slender with a certain curve, and the handle is made of bone, with a beautiful "dragon" pattern engraved on the surface. The graceful appearance is very artistic at first glance!

At the same time, Nakiri Shinagi was also deeply puzzled. Such a knife did not look like a real kitchen knife.

And can such a knife handle ingredients well?

…

"It seems frozen?"

Just when Zhang Fan wanted to take off the scabbard, he found that the scabbard seemed to be stuck with 502 glue, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

In desperation, he could only raise the Beichen Sirius Blade and slam it onto the ground!

boom!

After a sound.

But as you can see, the scabbard slowly began to show cracks.

In the end, it broke apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the entire blade of the Beichen Sirius Blade was revealed in front of everyone.

The fine and sharp ice blade is as smooth as a mirror and radiates cold light. Especially after being unsheathed and illuminated by the light, the ice blade will reflect a dazzling light that makes it difficult to look directly at it!

"ice?"

"This...is this a knife made of ice?"

When the light faded, Nakiri Shinagi slowly opened his eyes.

When she saw the true appearance of the Beichen Sirius Blade in front of her, she was almost so shocked that her jaw was dislocated!

Zhang Fan's cooking should not be analyzed from a reasonable scientific perspective, she already knew this. But facing this kind of kitchen knife made of ice, her mind was still a little confused.

However, just when the atmosphere seemed dead.

A more biting and chilling coldness quickly struck!

"It turned out to be an ice skate. I asked how the environment in this izakaya became so cold."

"Ah... sneeze... I can't help it anymore, I'm shaking from the cold."

Annie was so cold that she kept shivering, and her whole body felt like ice cubes, no, colder than ice cubes.

"Why?"

"It's smoking."

Tadokoro Hui also trembled and covered her mouth in surprise.

"To be precise, this shouldn't be smoke, but a layer of frost on the ice blade, and the cold air emitted as the ice blade gradually melts!"

Yise Hui narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a serious expression.

"Strange, what can such a knife be used for?"

Yukihira Soma, his teeth were shaking due to the cold, and there was a look of confusion on his face.

With the development of various modern technologies, the materials, types, uses, functions, etc. of kitchen knives have all changed.

Although a kitchen knife today can be made of several different materials, and a general-purpose kitchen knife can complete many tasks, especially a large chef's knife, a tough carving knife, a small paring knife...

But as the saying goes, a good knife matches a hero. For professional chefs, having a good kitchen knife is also the capital of survival!

In short, ease of use is fundamental.

But who can say that when handling ingredients, you will use a kitchen knife made of ice?

…

"Zhang Fan, what's the name of this knife...?"

Rubbing his hands, Nakiri Shinagi couldn't help but blinked and asked curiously after staring at the sword for a few times.

"Beichen Sirius Blade."

Zhang Fan, who was holding the skate tightly, just replied in a calm tone.

"Beichen Sirius Blade?"

"The name of this knife is as impressive as Lie Bingxian Haishan!"

Nagi Nakiri was stunned, and then murmured to himself.

On the side, Anne pricked up her ears to hear such domineering knife names, and quickly recalled the book "THE·BOOK" Gourmet Guide in her mind.

I found that the book currently contains no information about this kind of ice blade!

So, she couldn't help but wonder whether she should record the information about this knife.

After all, she has every reason to believe that if this knife is recorded, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the entire culinary world!

"Do you want to use this ice blade to handle snapper?"

Nakiri Shinagi thought for a while and continued to ask.

"right!"

Zhang Fan nodded: "I told you last time that this chef's knife is needed for the ice-cold fresh sea bream dish."

…

After saying this, Zhang Fan's eyes tightened.

He first took a sharp breath to calm down his emotions.

Then he stared closely at the snapper on the chopping board, his momentum suddenly surged, and he said domineeringly: "Then, let's start my most exciting performance!"

But you can see that he swung the knife down without any hesitation.

The mirror-like ice blade drew a long arc in the air, making a "swish, swish" sound due to its excessive speed.

Then, he is like a knight holding a sword. Every time he swings the sword, it is like a scene in a poem. His body is like the wind and his sword is like lightning. The spirit of dominating the world is displayed in this dish.

And those rapid attacks made everyone present feel strong pressure.

"This... the sword-cutting technique just now, turns out to be not his true strength?"

Seeing this, Soma was stunned for a moment.

If we talk about the squirrel and mandarin fish dish just now, Souzhen thinks that Zhang Fan's level is on par with his father Yukihira Joichiro.

So, this time the strong ice fresh sea bream mountain made him have some self-doubt.

Perhaps as senior Yisehui said, Zhang Fan really cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.

In the end, under everyone's gaze, every thin piece of sea bream meat was attached to the iceberg, and a plate of hot and fresh sea bream was completed.

…

When the weak light shines on the small iceberg.

The crystal clear ice surface will reflect dazzling rays of light, making people feel an extremely shocking beauty!

"Oh my God!"

"This food is so beautiful."

It was the first time for Megumi Tadokoro to see the hot sea bream cuisine, and she was the first to say in shock.

She discovered that the sea bream fillets she had just finished seemed to have disappeared after clinging to the iceberg.

Therefore, she was a little curious and hurried forward.

After looking carefully with wide eyes, I was surprised to find that each piece of sea bream was cut very thinly, like a piece of transparent paper!

"Amazing."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this kind of knife skills even if I practice hard all my life."

She couldn't help but sigh deeply.

…

Bang, dang, dang~

Another sound suddenly appeared in the air.

I saw the Beichen Sirius Blade in Zhang Fan's hand slowly showing cracks until it completely shattered and turned into countless small ice cubes falling to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Fan frowned slightly, but did not show too much expression.

He turned around and continued to get some seasonings, quickly made a special batch of sesame oil, and then used a special force to splash the sesame oil bomb onto the fish fillets covered by the iceberg.

"It's done."

"This is the fresh sea bream that is even better than last time."

The moment the cooking is truly completed.

A biting cold wind blew again, making all the diners in the izakaya shiver again.

Thinking of this kind of food, it was probably the coldest and thinnest food they had ever experienced in their lives.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Looking at the fiercely chilled sea bream mountain in front of me.

Nakiri Managi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if there was a little rabbit in her chest.

This kind of cuisine is what she has been pursuing all her life, and it is also what she misses every day these days!

"that……"

"Are the skates just for decoration?"

"If you use a regular kitchen knife to handle the snapper, it should be fine, right?"

Next to him, Tian Suohui withdrew his shocked gaze and asked Zhang Fan.

"It's not a decoration."

"As you can see, the sharp ice sea bream is essentially a sashimi dish."

"The texture and taste of sashimi before eating should be well refrigerated in order to taste better, so using an ice knife to handle the sea bream will have better results!"

Zhang Fan turned his head to look at Tian Suohui and smiled.

"alright!"

"Sanagi, eat quickly."

"This time's strong and fresh Taiyang cuisine will definitely make you like it more than before."

"Um!"

"Then I won't be polite."

If you don’t savor a few mouthfuls of such delicacies, you will be at odds with your own divine tongue!

Therefore, Nakiri Managi, who couldn't wait any longer, picked up a small piece of sea bream sashimi with his chopsticks and chewed it slowly.

…

After that, time seemed to stop at this moment!

The moment he entered, Nakiri Shinagi was completely stunned, as motionless as a stone.

The taste and texture of sashimi still gave her the experience of going deep into the ocean.

The sea breeze and low temperature solidify the umami flavor of the protein, and the gaps between the smooth and tender fish meat are filled with seafood juice, making it very elastic to bite.

In addition to the texture, the taste after tasting is also very smooth, especially the fat and tender fish belly, which leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth when you take it with chopsticks.

call!

call!

call!

gradually.

A slight wind blew slowly around her.

He kept caressing every diner, raised the curtains, and even the pots of flowers beside the window sill were swaying gently in the wind.

As time goes by, this wind gradually becomes stronger.

It began to form a vortex inside the izakaya, swirling around everything, and eventually the power of the wind reached its peak!

All the curtains, tableware, and things were fluttering in the wind, like a grand carnival.

"What's going on? Is the pulse skill taught by Shingi-sama so powerful...is it so powerful?"

Annie was so blown away that she couldn't even open her eyes.

This was the first time she had seen Nakiri Shinagi activate such a powerful teaching pulse because of a dish!

Maybe, this is a more powerful skill than teaching pulse, right?

…

Gulu!

Finally, Nakiri Shinagi swallowed hard.

At this moment, the violent wind finally slowly dissipated.

Slowly opening his eyes, Managi's eyes were red, staring at the plate of hot and cold sea bream like a hungry wolf.

Why? Why does my self-control always become so weak when faced with Zhang Fan's cooking?

Her face began to turn red, and the feedback from God's Tongue was still delicious this time.

It seems that she didn't expect or understand that just by changing a kitchen knife, the same dish can have such a huge difference!

What surprised her most this time was that she could feel her God's Tongue, as if there was some kind of limit.

Even she herself couldn't understand this kind of limit, probably because even if God's Tongue continued to evolve in the future, she still wouldn't be able to detect or see any flaws in this dish.

Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and as a loud scream pierced the sky, she completely lost her mind.

Then, with everyone stunned, he ate the sea bream sashimi crazily!

Soon, she finished a plate of hot and fresh sea bream cuisine in one go.

Unable to feel completely satisfied, she looked helplessly at Zhang Fan, her eyes filled with an unprecedented desire!

"Isn't it enough?" Zhang Fan, seeing her eating like this and seeing that there was still some residue at the corner of her mouth, had no choice but to hand a clean tissue to her.

"Um!"

"I...I want more!"

Nakiri Managi took the tissue, but her body softened and she stammered.

"Okay, just wait a moment."

"But the Beichen Sirius Blade has been broken, so what I make this time may not be as delicious!"

"It's okay, as long as it's your cooking, I like it all." Nakiri Managi whispered, her voice so low that even she couldn't hear it.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan stopped answering, but kept a faint smile on his face.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, turned back to the cooking table, and prepared to continue making hot and cold sea bream.

…

"Dad, I kind of understand."

"It turns out that you deliberately asked me to enroll in Yuanyue because you wanted me to change myself!"

Looking at Zhang Fan who was busy, and then looking at Nakiri Shinagi who was smiling due to a dish, Yukihira Soma finally understood something.

As Joichiro's son, he certainly has his own life choices and ideas.

Do you want to inherit Yukihira Restaurant and spend your life doing nothing?

Or should I come to Totsuki Academy and travel around the world after studying hard for three years? Or should I go directly to Totsuki Resort, famous restaurants, etc. like Dojima Gin to find a job?

These choices are actually unforeseen from the current perspective.

But the only thing that is certain is that if Soma had stayed at Yukihira Restaurant, he would not have had such a magnificent life in the future!

In the end, Nakiri Shinagi actually ate five plates of hot and cold sea bream under Annie's look of shock.

"Hiccup~"

"It's so full, I really ate it this time!"

"Sure enough, only Zhang Fan's cuisine can conquer God's Tongue again and again!"

Nakiri Managi, whose face was full of happiness, touched her big belly as if she had been pregnant for several months. In the end, she could only squint her eyes slightly and said with satisfaction.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the wonderful and delicious texture and taste of the sashimi processed with the Beichen Sirius Blade.

Involuntarily, she fell into intoxication again.
