In order to allow more people to observe Uncle Liu's cooking skills, Nakiri Senzaemon specially prepared a large kitchen for Uncle Liu. This time, Totsuki graduates who came to study and stay as guest lecturers also The top students in the first grade were all called over by Nakiri Senzaemon, just to see the magical skill that is famous in the world of raw materials - the eighteenth version of the fish leaping over the dragon gate.
"Oh, you've obviously gone through the hardest part, and it's time to start enjoying it, why did you call us here!"
On the other side, Yoshino Yuki, who was led by Tadokoro on the road, held her head and said with annoyance.
Just now, the first-year students of Totsuki who had completed all the training courses were about to enjoy a culinary feast brought by guest lecturers. During the banquet, some students were quietly called away by the staff.
This was nothing to do with Yoshino Yuki, but Tadokoro also quietly told everyone in Jiexingliao that if she had something good to do, she would come to them and ask them to accompany her out.
Based on her trust in Tazoe, although Yoshino Yuki was reluctant to leave, she still put down the dishes prepared by the Totsuki graduates and quietly left the banquet with Tazoe with a sad face.
"Xiao Megumi, Yukihira was also called out by the staff just now. Is it because of the same thing?" Ryoko Sakaki thought more than Yuki Yoshino, so she asked Megumi Tadokoro.
"That should be the case." Tadokoro thought for a while and said, "I heard from grandpa that all the outstanding students in the first grade were called away, and the same should be true for Yukihira-san."
"Oh my, it seems we have benefited from Xiao Hui's favor..."
Ryoko Sakaki was not jealous. She had known that there was no fairness in this school. Top students and ordinary students were treated differently. Although Yukihira was a bit out of place, his strength was indeed higher than the other first-year students in Jokusei Residence. When you are a child, it is normal for you to be selected by the school to participate in some good things.
"But Xiaohui, what good thing is more important than enjoying the dishes of the lecturers? That is a feast that only those of us Totsuki students who have passed the training can enjoy in the world. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Yoshino Yuki still misses the banquet.
"But the top few people in the first grade have been called away. Doesn't this also mean that the place we are going to next is more important than the banquet!" Although his eyes are clearly covered by his hair, Imusaki Jun's observation ability is still there. Very good, he discovered early on that not long after the banquet started, the most outstanding people in the first grade of Yuanyue were called away by the staff.
"Xiao Hui, what is going on?" Yoshino Yuki asked Tadokoro.
Tadokoro didn't show off, and said directly: "Grandpa has a cooking skill that he wants to teach to Kaijun. He asked me if I have any close friends who would like to observe it together. I thought of you, so I took you with me."
"What? I thought there would be something delicious..."
Yoshino Yuki was disappointed.
The few people finally arrived at the destination while talking. As soon as they entered, they found that except for Yukihira Soma, Nakiri Erina, Nito Hisako, Mito Yumei, Nakiri Alice, Kurokiba Ryo, Takemi Al In addition to top first-year students such as Dini, Hayama Ryo, Mimasaku, and Hojo Miyoko, the guest lecturers who had disappeared since the banquet started were also waiting here.
"What? Didn't you say that all the people here are elites? How come even some second-rate students are here!"
Mimasaku, who was so tall that he didn't look like a high school student at all, saw the people from Jokusei Residence led by Tadokoro entering the room, and he curled his lips and murmured dissatisfaction.
At first he thought it was a gathering of a few elites, but now he found out that it was not, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Nakiri Erina knew early on that Tadokoro would bring her friends over. After all, this was her master's performance. As a disciple, Tadokoro was more qualified than them to bring people to watch, so it was not convenient to say anything.
Although she also thinks that those low-ranking students in Ji Xing Liao may not gain anything even if they watch it, it is simply a waste.
"Hey you!"
Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato, who looked like delinquent students, heard Mimasaku's muttering and couldn't help but step forward and wanted to beat him up. However, Nakiri Senzaemon squinted his eyes and said: " Everyone, calm down!”
The two of them suddenly shriveled up like deflated rubber balls, not daring to say another word.
At this moment, Yan Kai, who was carrying a huge red carp in his hand, also walked into the kitchen. Seeing a lot of people in the kitchen, he couldn't help but smile and said: "There are quite a lot of people!"
Everyone present couldn't help but look towards Yan Kai, but as soon as they touched Yan Kai's eyes, they all turned their heads away as if they were electrocuted.
Those deep eyes were like black holes, sucking and swallowing their minds, making them dare not look at Yan Kai at all.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot!"
Seeing this familiar reaction, Yan Kai suddenly understood. He quickly took out the pair of glasses that could cover most of his face from his pocket and covered his face: "Okay, you can look over here."
Hearing Yan Kai's words, everyone carefully turned their heads to look at Yan Kai. What caught their eyes was the ridiculously big pair of glasses. The palpitating feeling had indeed disappeared, and they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"What happened just now? Was Yan Sang's eyes so scary?"
Yoshino Yuki asked Tadokoro in a low voice.
"This...I don't know either..."
Tian Suohui was also confused. She still remembered that Yan Kai was wearing those huge glasses when he first met her. After the internal injury, he didn't see him wearing them anymore. She didn't feel that Yan Kai was short-sighted. No, Yan Kai was super. Vision, it is impossible to be short-sighted!
Tadokoro didn't think about it before, but now that he thinks about it, he finds that there are a lot of problems.
At this time, Uncle Liu came over. He smiled and said to Tian Suohui and everyone in Jixingliao: "Are you Xiaohui's friend? Xiaohui has taken care of you before!"
"It's okay, it's okay, we are the ones. Xiaohui is the freshener of our Ji Xing Liao. We all rely on her to heal us!"
Yoshino Yuki hugged Tadokoro and said affectionately.
"Grandpa, do you know what happened to Kaijun's eyes?" Tian Suohui asked Uncle Liu. She felt that Uncle Liu should know what happened.
Sure enough, Uncle Liu did know the secret behind this. He explained to Tian Suohui and everyone in Jixingliao: "When martial arts is practiced to a state of perfection, 'gods' will be born, so it is called 'gods', and Xiaokai His martial arts has reached the realm of transformation, and the 'god' has been trained to be very powerful. He is too young, and the 'god' is powerful but unstable, so it will overflow from his eyes. Although Xiao Kai has restrained himself, it is only the little bit that overflows.' God still has a great influence on ordinary people."
"So in order to prevent these overflowing 'gods' from affecting others, Xiaokai always wears glasses to block the eyes of others from him, so that he will not affect others."
"Before, it was because Xiaokai suffered internal injuries. If his body was weak, his spirit would be weak. Of course, his spirit would not overflow, so you didn't feel it. Now that Xiaokai's internal injuries have almost healed, he has naturally returned to his previous appearance."
"Is that so? How can we make Yan Sang's 'god' stable?"
Yoshino Yuki expressed concern.
It was a waste of money to have such an eye-catching face covered with those kind of rustic and funny glasses. She, who belonged to the Xiaoxianrou branch of the Appearance Association, would never allow this kind of thing.
"Wait until Xiaokai passes puberty and matures mentally!" Uncle Liu thought for a while and said.
"Puberty is over? That's okay, that's okay..." Yoshino Yuki breathed a sigh of relief.
When a boy ends puberty, he is still a young boy, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, so she feels relieved.
Yan Kai came over and shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I think I will be able to reach the pinnacle in two years. Then I will naturally be able to return to my original nature and be restrained."
Uncle Liu gave a wry smile: "I almost forgot that as a family of monsters, it is indeed faster for you to reach the top than to go through puberty."
"Grandpa, what is reaching the top?" Tian Suohui asked Liu Bodao.
Yan Qianqiang answered first: "This is the saying in our Central Plains martial arts community. Our Central Plains martial arts community divides martial arts into five levels, from the initial glimpse of the door, to the entrance into the hall, to the perfection, then to the perfection, and finally to the Climb to the top.”
"Yeah? Doesn't that mean that Kaijun has almost reached the highest level of training!"
Tian Suo Hui was shocked.
She had heard Yan Kai mention it before that her martial arts skills were barely even a glimpse of the basics, but she felt that she was already very powerful, and her strength and reflexes had become much stronger. This was just the first glimpse of the skills, and she did not dare to imagine reaching the top. What will it be like?
Yan Kai shook his head: "This is just a superficial view among the public. In fact, reaching perfection in martial arts is not a level, but a process. The process from 'trance' to entering the realm of transformation, the same is true for reaching the peak. Reaching the peak is just the beginning, and the ultimate is the beginning." It’s the destination, and the hardships involved cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.”
"But you don't need to know this. Anyway, I guess you won't reach perfection in this life, so it's useless to know."
Yan Kai spoke very bluntly, but Tian Suohui didn't mind and just smiled innocently.
Not only Yan Kai felt that she couldn't reach the state of perfection, but Tian Suohui was not sure whether she could reach the state of perfection within ten years. How could she dare to think of a more powerful state of perfection? Moreover, her self-perception was only about being a cook. If you are not a martial artist, you only practice martial arts to be able to use the profound cooking skills in Ni Qiankun. You do not really want to be a martial artist.
Others just heard it as an anecdote and didn't pay much attention.
They only have a partial understanding of things in the martial arts world, and have no idea what reaching the top means in the martial arts world. It is the pinnacle of martial arts, the lifelong pursuit of countless martial arts practitioners. Only five masters and four sword masters in the entire Japan have reached this level, and all of them have reached this level. There are only about fifty people who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the world. Reaching the pinnacle is a hundred times more difficult than becoming a billionaire.
After answering Tian Suohui's question, Yan Kai turned to ask Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, are you okay with your current condition?"
Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate eighteen times is a cooking skill that requires a lot of physical strength. He is a little worried that the current Uncle Liu will not be able to support it.
Uncle Liu smiled and took out a thin yellow thread from his pocket, held it in his mouth and said, "You don't need to be afraid if you have this."
"Then I'll be relieved!" Yan Kai also smiled.
The thin yellow threads were none other than the 500-year-old wild ginseng tendrils. Just this one, Uncle Liu held it in his mouth, and when he was about to lose his strength, he bit it into pieces and swallowed it, and he immediately became energetic.
It's just that one ginseng whisker is already Uncle Liu's limit. Any more and Uncle Liu will be exhausted.
Under everyone's gaze, Uncle Liu went up to the cooking table, and Yan Kai stood beside him to help him, so that Yan Kai could observe closely.
"Xiao Kai, please help me take care of this carp!" In order to save energy, Uncle Liu asked Yan Kai to take care of the carp.
"no problem!"
Yan Kai placed the carp on the chopping board and held the handle of the kitchen knife on the knife rest.
The carp was placed on the chopping board. It seemed to realize that the crisis was coming, and it flopped unwillingly a few times, trying to escape.
The fish tail was slapped hard on the chopping board, making a "pop-pa-pa" sound, but suddenly the "pa-pa-pa" sound mutated. The carp's whole body exploded, and the snow-white fish meat flew into the sky, but it seemed as if it was being forced. As if he had cast a spell, all of them fell onto the plate that Yan Kai had prepared early in the morning.
Cooking items such as fish bones and fish offal naturally jump out of the trash cans used to discard food waste.
At this moment, Erina Nakiri, who had been staring at Yan Kai's hand, discovered that Yan Kai's hand didn't seem to have pulled out the kitchen knife at all.
But I didn’t pull out the kitchen knife, so how could I slice the fish that was uniform in size and thickness?
Uncle Liu clapped his hands: "Good swordsmen, although we all use knives for a living, but the best swordsmen are you martial arts practitioners!"
"you flatter me!"
Yan Kai opened the handle of the kitchen knife and said with a smile.
It was indeed him who decapitated, skinned and gutted the carp in an instant, even removed all the fish bones, and then sliced it into slices.
Nakiri Erina didn't see him pull out the kitchen knife simply because he took out the knife too fast. After pulling out the kitchen knife, he inserted the kitchen knife back before the afterimage disappeared.
As a transformation warrior, it is very reasonable to have such swordsmanship and hand speed, isn't it?
The pretty girl with white hair and red eyes, Alice Nakiri, turned her head and asked the dark-rimmed boy beside her, Ryo Kurokiba: "Ryo, can you do such knife skills?"
Although Kurokiba Ryo is her follower, he is also a powerful cook whose cooking skills are on par with hers. And coming from a seaport city, he is especially good at fish cooking. His skill in slicing fish is quite good, so Nakiri Alice asked told him.
"Miss, please spare me..." Kurokiba Ryo said listlessly, "I am a human being and cannot do such a thing."
Although he looked listless, he looked more carefully than the others. He didn't see the open-faced fish clearly, but he did notice that there were some crystal clear fish bones among the things that fell into the trash can.
Carp is not a sea fish and has many small spines. It usually takes a lot of time for cooks to deal with these small spines, but in that moment invisible to the naked eye, Yan Kai even removed the carp's fish bones. This is why Kuroki Chang Liang turned around and said it was because Yan Kai was not a human being.
Mei Zuoang originally widened his eyes and wanted to observe Yan Kai's knife skills carefully, wondering if he could imitate and learn from it, but it turned out that his eyes were about to fall out, and he realized that he was lonely after watching.
imitate? It doesn't exist. This is simply not something that humans can do!
Meizuo'ang's brain and eyes tell his hands that you can't learn it!
And Mei Zuoang's hands responded to his brain and eyes, what you said is all nonsense!
Miyoko Hojo, a beautiful girl with short hair, looked at Yan Kai who had just performed amazing knife skills with a more complicated look.
She probably heard the name Yan Kai earlier than most people present, because the Shinkawa Building where Yan Kai worked was a branch of the Chinese restaurant run by Miyoko Hojo's family.
She had heard a month ago that the Chiyoda branch of Shinkawa Building had a new chef whose cooking skills were comparable to those of Totsuki graduates. Even her father, the head chef of Shinkawa Building's main store, had connections and wanted her to Go and learn from the branch’s new chef.
After all, Hojo Miyoko is a day student, so if she goes to the Chiyoda branch after school, she can meet Yan Kai in time.
But Miyoko Hojo refused. She didn't believe that there were any outstanding chefs other than Totsuki. She even looked down on her father. She felt that her cooking skills had surpassed her father's. She only thought about how to climb higher in Totsuki. high.
Now, a month later, she finally met the new chef of the Chiyoda branch, and the new chef's strength was indeed inconsistent with the rumors. It was just that it was not an overestimation, but a far underestimate. She came earlier. , she heard the guest lecturers chatting in low voices. Among them, Hinatako Miki was severely punished by Shinomiya Kojiro for complaining about losing to Yan Kai. Only then did she realize that Yan Kai’s strength was not comparable to Totsuki. Graduates, but surpassed Totsuki graduates, and even Kojiro Shinomiya, who graduated as the first among the top ten, is no match!
Especially after the skill of instantly slicing fish was revealed, Hojo Miyoko was even more certain that Yan Kai's cooking skills were definitely at a level she could not imagine. She was wrong, and very wrong!
