Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 28
because.

I haven't obtained the Hundred Caves Kitchen Knife yet.

Therefore, Zhang Fan could only use an ordinary kitchen knife, drill some small holes, and then thread some steel wires to form a steel ring!

"Miss!"

"His kitchen knife has many small holes drilled through it and then threaded with steel wire!"

On the side, Fei Shasha saw some clues.

"Zhang Fan!"

"Do you want to use this strange kitchen knife to process snapper meat?"

Erina, who came back to her senses but had no clue, couldn't help but stand up and ask.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

"If you want to complete that dish, you need a kitchen knife like this!"

After Zhang Fan said that, he turned on the stove switch, then adjusted it to medium heat, and then placed the kitchen knife on the stove to heat it!This operation naturally confused both Erina and Hisako.

Kitchen knife.

Just forget about being weird!
Why do we still need to use ordinary fire to heat it?
……

however.

at the same time.

Zhang Fan, however, prepared a cloth towel that Souma Yukihira often hung on his wrist in the original plot.

First, wrap the white cloth towel tightly on your right hand like a bandage, and then prepare a basin of cold water!
"Could it be."

"He...he wants to..."

Seeing Zhang Fan doing this, Erina quickly understood and couldn't help but look shocked!
Crazy?
What kind of cuisine requires this method?
"Hey?"

"Miss!"

"What on earth is he going to do?"

Nito Hisako blinked her bright eyes. She had a relatively low understanding and seemed not to realize the seriousness of the matter!
After a few minutes, when the kitchen knife was burning red on the stove, Zhang Fan, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly turned off the stove.

Then, with Erina and Hisako stunned, he used his right hand wrapped in a towel to tightly hold the kitchen knife!

"what!"

See this situation.

Fei Shasha was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his face.

From this moment on, she finally understood how crazy Zhang Fan's actions were!

Even though she had expected this step in advance, Erina was still greatly shocked when she saw Zhang Fan holding the red-hot kitchen knife without hesitation!

If.

Zhang Fan's knife skills just made her feel inferior.

So the courage shown by Zhang Fan this time made her even more impressed!
……

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Then, Zhang Fan kept waving the kitchen knife in his hand.

The sea bream meat on the chopping board seemed to be blown to pieces, like cherry blossoms falling in spring. All kinds of minced meat flew into the air, and then began to fall quickly on the plate like a parabola.

The reason why the cut sea bream meat will be directly turned into minced meat is that the kitchen knife is full of small holes and steel rings.

but!
Anyway.

Zhang Fan's current performance really makes Erina unable to recover for a long time!

Logically speaking, there are many ways to maintain the taste of sea bream, but Zhang Fan chose this extremely extreme behavior.

It actually uses the heat of the kitchen knife to grill the surface of the fish in an instant when handling the snapper, thus preserving the freshness and taste of the fish!

"I see."

"So you punch some small holes in the kitchen knife and use steel wire to make a steel ring?" "After all, when cutting the sea bream meat with a kitchen knife, this process will form a pressure on the contact surface. And this pressure causes the sea bream meat to be squeezed It’s pressed into those steel rings to form minced meat of the same size!”

Speaking of it.

Erina was suddenly confused.

She never imagined that Zhang Fan's new cuisine would be so outrageous!

In the entire culinary world, which chef dares to use this self-inflicted method to fully bring out the flavor of sea bream and create the most perfect dish?
……

Click!

Finally, when he finished handling the snapper, the kitchen knife in Zhang Fan's hand finally broke!

Perhaps it is because the material of this kitchen knife is not very good; or perhaps after heating, the blade gradually cools and hardens during the process of cutting the sea bream, and the toughness is reduced and eventually breaks!
At this time, Zhang Fan ignored the broken kitchen knife and quickly untied the cloth towel wrapped around his right hand, revealing his slightly burned palm!
after that.

He said nothing.

Directly put this right hand into the basin of cold water.

Use cold water to take away the remaining heat from the burned area to avoid continued burns on your right hand!
"You... are you all right?"

Coming closer and seeing the reddish right hand in the cold water basin, Erina's voice became gentle.

"It's okay! Although wrapping your right hand with a cloth towel is a taboo in the chef industry. After all, it will affect the feel of the knife when using it, but there is nothing you can do about it!"

Zhang Fan raised his head and smiled at Erina.

"No."

"cloth towel..."

"I mean, there's nothing wrong with your hand, right?"

"No problem."

"It's just a little burnt."

"Soak it in cold water for a while, then apply some burn ointment on it and it'll be fine!"

Zhang Fan said it truthfully.

"The devil believes you!"

Erina couldn't help but choke up a little when looking at Zhang Fan who was always calm and composed.

If the kitchen knife is a chef's weapon, then hands are the chef's best tools.

For chefs, it is important to have superb cooking skills, but as the soft conditions have improved, the hard conditions must also be kept intact!If you don’t have a pair of intact hands, no matter how good your cooking skills are, it’s useless!
"why."

"You have to do this?"

Finally, Erina asked, her eyes filled with mist.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"I want to make the most perfect dish for you to taste!"

Zhang Fan's words made Erina believe it subconsciously, which made her feel very moved in her heart: "So you have to do whatever it takes, and you have to risk your right hand getting burned?"

The most important thing about cooking is cooking it for the people you care about. This is the most meaningful thing.

This truth has actually been implemented in the entire world of "Shougen no Soul", and this is something that Erina cannot understand at the moment!
But at this moment, she could really feel it on Zhang Fan!
"Puff!"

"You really believe it?"

Looking at Erina who was about to cry.

Zhang Fan took his right hand back from the cold water basin and couldn't help but laugh: "The method of cooking this dish is to use the heat of the kitchen knife to maintain the deliciousness of the real snapper, so I have to use this method." The method has nothing to do with you!"

"What's more, people like you are not worthy of my efforts yet, so don't be too narcissistic or self-impressed!"

"what?"

Erina, I can’t help but be stunned!
As expected, this guy always talks a lot.

But it happened to be mysterious and unpredictable, and she couldn't see through his thoughts at all. It really pissed her off!
