Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

"Yes, we are all girls...girls, but we are no worse than men. As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. People will only look at your skills, not your gender." There was a hint of emotion in Tasoko's voice. There was a hint of trembling, and it was obvious that she was quite excited.

It’s no wonder that Tadokoro suffered gender discrimination when she was very young, and there was also a preference for boys over girls in the fishing port where she was born.

Not only Tadokoro, but also Miyoko Hojo in the world of Shoshukiji.

However, to this day, they have proven that women are no worse than men.

Chapter 476: The heart knot of the second generation Melk

"Miss Melk, there is no doubt that you are a real grinder. Your own strength has nothing to do with being a daughter!"

"Xiao Hui is absolutely right. The first generation is the first generation, and you are you! You are all grinders and have extremely superb knife-making skills. Please don't be discouraged."

Ryoko Sakaki and Megumi Tadokoro are still working hard to encourage the second-generation Melk to get out of her inferiority complex as a daughter.

"..."

The second-generation Melk has been obsessed with this matter since she was a child, and has been unable to display her true skills. The Melk kitchen knife created so far is not all of her skills.

Seeing that the second-generation Melk was moved, Sakaki Ryoko continued: "The modern era of capturing even the materials of kitchen knives and other things by oneself may be very powerful, but I think Miss Melk does not need to deliberately imitate it at all. Him. Compared to these, hasn’t Miss Melk actually made a superb kitchen knife?”

Hearing this, the second generation couldn't help but lowered his head, recalling the scene when the first generation left the house in his mind.

At first, the second-generation Melk thought he would come back soon, just like before, but no matter how long it took, the first-generation Melk never came back.

"However, even if the master is not here, there is an endless stream of commissioned tasks for grinding. An idea arises in my mind... Could it be that the master... encountered something unexpected? How could this happen? He is so powerful. Master has an accident. I Still far inferior to humans... I grieve over my lack of strength. Where Master goes, I can't even get close to it with my strength. What I can do now is to protect Melk's name before Master comes back!"

This is also the belief that the second-generation Melk insists on, using the techniques learned so far to continue everyone’s belief in the first-generation Melk knife-making.

The two girls, Ryoko Sakaki and Megumi Tadokoro, did not speak. As listeners, they quietly listened to what the second generation Melk said.

"Maybe I'm not qualified enough. It's not Master's kitchen knife. I'm afraid the chefs who commissioned it are not satisfied at all..." The second-generation Melk lowered his head as he spoke.

Looking at Melk who lowered his head, Ryoko Sakaki and Megumi Tadoko looked at each other.

Both of them knew that they could not make the second generation let go of their grudges for a while, and they had to find a way to make her regain her confidence.

There are many ways for people to regain their confidence, and as chefs Ryoko Sakaki and Megumi Tadokoro, the methods they need to use are also very clear.

"Um...Miss Melk, can I borrow some kitchen knives?"

Tadokoro looked at the many Melk kitchen knives placed on the kitchen shelf and said, "In addition to the kitchen knives, can I borrow some other ingredients stored in the underground refrigerator?"

"..."

Melk didn't understand why Tadokoro asked for this, but he still nodded and agreed.

When Ryoko Sakaki saw this, a smile appeared on her lips.

Xiao Hui's best cooking is about to appear...the food that the "late night cook" was influenced by the Shokiki with Shinomiya-senpai and the hot spring street incident.

"Mom's smell" can help people regain their old dreams and regain their confidence.

Cooking is so magical sometimes. A full meal can help people find themselves and work hard.

In ancient China, there were not many people who rose to prominence due to the kindness of a meal.

And now what Tasoko wants to do is this.

"Xiao Hui, do you need my help?" Ryoko Sakaki asked.

"No need Ryoko, I can come alone." Tasoko said and walked towards the underground warehouse where the ingredients were stored.

In the underground warehouse, Tanokoro chose very common ingredients, all of which are easily available on the market.

With the ingredients ready, Tadokoro picked up the kitchen knife made by the second-generation Melk and started cooking on the spot.

"This is the 'Hasashiki Deba' and the 'Strength Chopping Knife', and the 'Susheng Gyuto'...and the 'Chitoku Knife'!"

Needless to say, the purpose of Tadokoro choosing so many kitchen knives for cooking is to let the second-generation Melk understand that her kitchen knives are not only not bad, but also quite excellent!

Soon, Tadokoro showed off her amazing knife skills and began to handle various ingredients for cooking. During this period, she continued to use the kitchen knife made by the second-generation Melk to cut the ingredients.

Melk's eyes widened with disbelief when she saw ordinary ingredients being cooked into delicious dishes. She couldn't believe that these were dishes cooked with the kitchen knife she made herself.

Soon, a table of delicious food was cooked, steaming hot, and the aroma continued to hit your nostrils.

"Please, Miss Melk, come and have a try!" Tazoe invited Melk.

"This...this is?"

Melk still couldn't believe that these delicacies in front of him were made with his own kitchen knife.

"Anyway, let's fill our stomachs first." Tadokoro invited with a gentle expression.

Melk had no reason to refuse, so he walked to the table involuntarily, looked at the food in front of him and swallowed.

……

Looking back, this side of the snake den

Tong Yu and the first-generation Melk sat on a huge rock and chatted.

"Okay, now you can talk to your heart's content, the first generation Melk-senpai."

"Hmph, Tong Yu, you are really a man as the president said."

Tong Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Although I don't know what President Yilong told you, I was still surprised when I saw you in person... This powerful spirit is worthy of being the best in the world. Swordsmith! However, have you noticed a problem, that is, you are easily ignored when you speak?"

0 0 ...

The first-generation Melk immediately said: "Ah, yes, yes! I have always been a chatterbox from the beginning, but because of my appearance, people around me often ignore my words."

"Being ignored by the people around you... it really is like this. No wonder your daughter Melk, the second generation, is so worried. She just thinks you are too taciturn on weekdays!"

Tong Yu couldn't help but rub her temples. It wasn't that the first generation Melk was so scary that no one paid attention to him. It was because his natural vocal cords were too small. When he spoke very quietly, others couldn't hear him. Unless the other person had the same characteristics as Zebra. He has hell ears, otherwise he can only speak using a loudspeaker stone so that others can hear him.

"Um, you mean the second generation?"

"Correct."

"Tong Yu, have you seen my daughter? How about my daughter's working ability! Hehe, she is very powerful!"

The chatterbox character of the first-generation Melk came to the fore at this moment, and he started talking endlessly: "How can I say that 6 years ago, when that child was only 15 years old... he had the same skills as me as a grinder? Superb skills, hehe, that kid is a genius.”

"How did you come here after explaining to the second generation 6 years ago?"

……

(To be continued.) [-].

Chapter 477: Untying the Heart Knot

"I told her to go to the snake den."

"Did you come here to dig for whetstones?"

When Tong Yu asked this, the first generation Melk had a solemn look on his face: "No, I accepted the commission from the president to make the kitchen knife he needs."

Although Tong Yu had already guessed it, he still asked: "President Igo also needs a kitchen knife. It must not be an ordinary kitchen knife."

"It's the kitchen knife that handles the salad called air in Acacia, the God of Food!"

Sure enough, other than that, I can't think of any reason why Yilong would make a kitchen knife.Tong Yu secretly thought in his heart.

"After I accepted this commission, I made up my mind to retire. That kitchen knife does not require the use of a lot of stardust, and it will take several years to complete. This kitchen knife will probably be the last work in my life." The first generation. Melk said.

After careful observation, we found that the first generation Melk was at least several hundred years old, probably only a few dozen years younger than Ichiryu, Setsuno and others.

"Does your daughter know that you made and disposed of the air kitchen knife?" Tong Yu asked again.

"Of course, I explained everything to her in detail, and I entrusted the title of second generation to you! In this way~" the first generation Melk said with a proud face, seeming to be very relieved about his daughter, and also Very proud.

"Um, um... I don't think she heard anything you said."

"What, why?"

Tong Yu pointed to the loudspeaker stone hanging on the neck of the first-generation Melk and said: "Do you need to say this? Your voice is too soft! I didn't hear what you said at all! No wonder your daughter has always been unsure of herself. , just because she didn’t get your approval... In fact, her knife-making skills have surpassed yours!"

"Ah, I think back to when I was little, she was very close to me. Was it because she wanted to hear clearly what I was saying? So what should I do now!" The first-generation Melk started to feel at a loss.

"Ha, you don't need to be too anxious. At least for now, it seems that your daughter has completed the entrusted work very well. And I believe that my two wives will help him tide over the difficulties together!" Tong Yu said with a smile.

Top of the Melk Mountain

The second-generation Melk was so surprised that he was speechless after eating a bowl of fried rice.

"So... so delicious! This fried rice looks very ordinary, but it tastes completely different!" said the second-generation Melk, holding a spoon in one hand and holding his cheek in the other.

Standing aside, Tadokoro showed a warm "mom-like" smile and said: "This is Lily Oyster Fried Rice."

"Ah, so oysters can taste so good? They are completely different from ordinary oysters!" the second generation was surprised.

Tadokoroe explained: "When the shell is closed, it can be processed through the gap to increase the flavor. This processing method is very special and can only be done by Ms. Melk's original 'Black Kodaba Kitchen Knife'! You should also try this .”

With that said, Tazoe brought another piece of barbecue steak to Melk.

The second-generation Melk picked up a knife and fork, cut off a piece of meat, and brought it to his mouth. As he chewed, the delicious food continued to spread in his mouth.

"It's amazing. There's no smell of smoked jellyfish at all. It smells like meat in your mouth!" The second-generation Melk said in surprise again.

Tadokoro explained: "This is a 'Susei kitchen knife' made by Miss Melk, which can be cut at a certain speed so that there will be no odor."

Melk continued to taste other dishes, and the more he ate, the more he couldn't stop.

"This one uses Miss Melk's original masterpiece 'Ranbu Kitchen Knife'... This dish must also be made with your original kitchen knife 'Little Chef'... This one uses the kitchen knife's artwork 'Hagoromo Hoshino'. This one uses What’s called the world’s sharpest ‘willow blade’, and this…”

There are nearly twenty dishes, each of which uses a different Melk kitchen knife, and these kitchen knives are all made by the second generation Melk.

Seeing that the time was right, Ryoko Sakaki began to say: "These dishes... can only be successfully processed with the kitchen knife made by Miss Melk. I have searched all over the world to find the only kitchen knife made by you, Miss Melk, that can achieve this. I think you’ve done a great job of continuing the ‘trust’ that the original kitchen knife had.”

"Ryoko is right. I think the famous chefs all over the world have recognized you since a long time ago... You are now guarding the name of the Melk kitchen knife very well!" Tadokoro said seriously.

When he heard this, the second-generation Melk could no longer hold back his emotions and cried loudly...

Tears continued to flow from her eyes. Under the guidance of Tadokoroe and Sakaki Ryoko, she finally found her true confidence.

From now on, the second generation Melk has truly inherited the will of the first generation. He has put aside his grudges and can finally fully exert his original knife-making strength.
