“Welcome to the ‘treasure house’ of ‘WGO’, I am the ‘gatekeeper’ Nakiri Shinagi.”
A pink-haired beauty wearing a purple kimono and holding a folding fan looked at the six people walking out of the elevator with a smile on her face.
"Mother!"
Nakiri Erina was very surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Listen carefully to what others are saying."
Nakiri Shinagi (zhi3) looked helplessly at this stupid daughter.
"Didn't I just say that I am the manager here? It is also my most important responsibility as the only special executive officer."
"oh----"
Everyone suddenly realized.
I have to say that the Shoji World really loves this family so much.
Nakiri Shinagi glanced at her husband, Nakiri Thistle, then turned around gracefully and led the way.
"Follow me, the legendary kitchen utensils are waiting for you in front, but whether you can get their approval depends on your luck."
"It depends on luck? Why do you want to be recognized?"
Nakiri Erina asked doubtfully.
Kitchen utensils are essentially tools.
Even the kitchen utensils of superpowers can be used by them.
It's just that it's difficult to use it as proficiently as Nakiri Asahi.
“Because these ‘legendary kitchen utensils’ actually have their own will, they will choose chefs who can use them, otherwise there will be no magical effects.”
Nakiri Shinagi answered his daughter without looking back.
"ah?!"
Nakiri Erina's face was full of surprise, and beside her, Soma Yukihira, Seiichiro and others were also surprised.
Choosing Kitchenware for a Chef?
What is this? Going against Tiangang!
Have they figured out that they are just kitchen utensils?
But this also makes these ‘world’s number one’ chefs look forward to it even more.
Not long after, everyone came to a spacious but deserted hall.
There are already three staff members in suits and ties waiting silently.
There are many undisguised cameras all around.
However, everyone's eyes were directly attracted to seven silver-white metal boxes on a large long table.
Nakiri Shinagi walked to the table without stopping, and then turned to face his father, husband, daughter, non-biological son, and future in-laws and son-in-law.
"Next, I will explain to you the names and functions of these 'legendary kitchen utensils'. Then everyone has to step forward and touch them. If you are approved, a strange phenomenon will appear."
After saying that, everyone nodded in agreement.
She walked to the first box from the left and began to enter the twenty-digit complex password that only she and the president knew.
【Whoosh!】
The next second.
Nakiri Senzaemon, Nakiri Erina, Yukihira Soma and others saw that the front, left and right sides of the silver box opened automatically.
At the same time, a thick white smoke surged out from it, making it difficult to see what was inside.
Fortunately, the smoke dissipated quickly.
A civil and military kitchen knife with a handle inlaid with gold at both ends, a green center, and a surface that looks like dragon scales, with a cold light shining from the blade, caught everyone's eyes.
"According to historical records, it is called Yongling Knife. It is specially used to process seafood ingredients. It can completely restore all the lost flavor of uncorrupted ingredients at the moment of cutting!"
Nakiri Shinagi pointed at the kitchen knife in the box with his right palm and introduced.
"Wow!"
Saiba Joichiro couldn't help but whistle.
Then he said to Nakiri Thistle who was also shocked next to him: "Nakamura, don't you want to snatch this knife from me?"
Nakamura is the surname of Nagiri Kirihisa before her marriage.
Nakiri Kiku smiled slightly: "Senami Saiha, there doesn't seem to be any competition. It all depends on who it recognizes as its master."
Across the way, Nakiri Shinagi has already opened the second silver box.
Suddenly, a jar made of a blue dragon circling appeared.
"It's called the Zhuanlong Pot, and it's specially used to speed up cooking. As long as you put the ingredients in, they will be cooked immediately, including sauces that require a long time to brew, or stewing broth!"
Then she introduced the legendary kitchen utensils one by one without giving them any time to digest.
"This is a Garuda knife, specially used to handle birds and animals. It can completely purify the food in the moment of cutting, leaving it free of any odor and dirt!"
"This is the Demonic Holy Bronze Ware. It is specially used to speed up the process of making dry goods. Dried goods such as abalone and scallops can be put into it and they will be ready in an instant!"
"This is the Tanlang Pot, specially designed for automatic processing. As long as you put the ingredients into it, whether it is shredded, cut into sections, or chopped, it can be completed immediately, and the size is exactly what you want!"
"This is the spiritual storage warehouse, which is specially used to refrigerate food. It is similar to a modern refrigerator, but after testing, it can perfectly and permanently keep any food fresh."
"Even if the ingredients from ten years ago are taken out and tested, there is no change at all, so 'WGO' uses it to store many precious ingredients that are becoming increasingly scarce."
Nakiri Shinagi looked at this largest kitchen utensil and smiled brightly.
After all, the word "eternal" itself is very attractive.
Opposite them, Soma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, Ichiro Saiba, Nakiri Thistle, and Nakiri Asahi were dumbfounded.
Only Nakiri Senzaemon, who knew the basic information in advance, could remain calm.
Only he noticed that when his daughter walked to the last silver box, her eyes became solemn.
"The last kitchen utensil can be said to be the most special one."
Nakiri Shinagi looked at the two iron pots inside and said in a deep voice.
"Because so far, WGO has not found any chef who can be recognized by them, so we don't know their actual role."
"But there is a mysterious description about them in historical materials."
Soma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, Ichiro Saiba, Nakiri Thistle, and Nakiri Asahi focused their attention on it.
"First of all, they are called Yulong pots. It is said that only the chef who owns them is qualified to own other kitchen utensils at the same time, or even all the kitchen utensils at the same time."
"We have confirmed this. Kitchen utensils such as the Yongling Knife and the Zhuanlong Pot will only recognize one chef each."
"So far, there has never been a situation where two kitchen tools are recognized by the same chef, so if you want to use them in combination, you must have multiple chefs working together."
"But there is another legend about Jade Dragon Pot, which is that when a chef uses all the kitchen utensils and uses their functions to complete a dish, the person who eats the dish can live forever!"
After Nakiri Shinagi finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence.
The previous permanent freshness was amazing enough, how could it be even more explosive?
Immortality!
"Mom, if this legend is true, then there must be at least one person who has achieved immortality in this way. The 'WGO' should have looked for it, right?"
Nakiri Erina curled her lips and said.
Her expression and eyes showed that she didn't believe in immortality at all.
Nakiri Shinagi also nodded and admitted: "Yes, but unfortunately, there are no clues so far."
"So, this must be fake!" Nakiri Erina said with a smile.
Yukihira Soma complained: "Then how do you explain the magical functions of other kitchen utensils?"
Nakiri Chaoyang interrupted to express his thoughts.
"Perhaps the ancient chef named Xiu Li attached his supernatural powers to these kitchen utensils, and the special material of the meteorite produced some strange effects."
After hearing his son's guess, Nakiri Thistle nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed possible."
"Okay, whoever comes up first, let's start with the Yongling Sword!"
Nakiri Shinagi interrupted the communication between several people to speed up today's work process.
After all, it’s less than six days until the ‘World Food Halberd’.
And next they have to get familiar with these legendary kitchen utensils.
"I'll go first!"
Saiba Joichiro, the eldest among the five, walked towards the Eireito.
The other four people had no objections either.
Silently looking forward to the vision that Nakiri Managi mentioned.
【Ding------】
Sure enough, when Saiba Joichiro grasped the handle of the sword, a ball of golden light suddenly bloomed in the field ()
