"In that case, let's get started! You can use all the kitchen knife ingredients here and use all your talents to make a knife work that satisfies me!"
Gao Wei opened his hands, showing a dazzling array of kitchen utensils and knives behind him. Judging from the material and gloss of the kitchen utensils, it was obvious that they were all excellent.
Shinomiya Kojiro couldn't help but feel satisfied when he looked at the kitchen equipment in front of him. As a popular gourmet star in Paris, Shinomiya was naturally surrounded by sponsors waving their tickets. However, this time when he opened a branch in Tokyo, he encountered obstacles from sponsors.
They were unanimously opposed, and they were unwilling to leave the fourth house, even if it was just for a period of time.
There is no other way, Shinomiya can only save money and money on the budget of the Tokyo branch. Even the decoration and carpentry of the store must be done by herself. However, no matter how much other places save, Shinomiya is very willing to spend on the budget of the kitchen.
, according to his words, no matter what, he can never bear to spend money on the kitchen, because this is not only irresponsible to the chef, but also irresponsible to the guests.
Therefore, when purchasing kitchen equipment and tableware, Shinomiya all purchased them in accordance with the standards of the Paris main store. Some of the tableware even needed to be imported, which resulted in the cost of the Tokyo branch's kitchen far exceeding the budget of the main store.
But every time he sees these kitchen utensils, Shinomiya feels that the hard work these days has been worth it, because he knows that the only thing a real cook trusts in the kitchen is the kitchen utensils in his hands. Okay
Kitchen utensils will also bring an indescribable sense of security to the chef himself.
In fact, not only Sigong, but also other people in the store were in the same mood as him. When Gao Wei proudly introduced Liu Pleiades, he thought that the other party would express surprise and praise, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Pleiades just glanced at it lightly.
, then shook his head slightly and said:
"No, I have my own kitchen knife!"
This calm and composed look made Gao Wei unable to react at once, but she couldn't stop her, so she could only say feebly:
"OK, alright!"
Everyone saw Liu Pleiax raising the red waistcoat on his body, and found that there were two leather scabbards hanging on the waistcoat, and two simple wooden knife handles were exposed above. Liu Pleiaxing pulled one out, and when everyone saw it, it turned out to be a Chinese kitchen knife.
The blade of the knife exudes a dim light. At a glance, one can feel that the material of this kitchen knife is unusual.
"Huh!"
At this time, Yukihira Soma suddenly screamed in surprise. When everyone looked at him, Yukihira Soma just smiled sheepishly and didn't say anything.
But he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, because he felt that the Chinese kitchen knife in Liu Pleiaxing's hand looked particularly familiar. It seemed to be very similar to the square knife that Xia Tian used in the past. However, compared to Xia Tian's kitchen knife, the one in Liu Angxing's hand looked more familiar.
It is older, with a wide blade and a thick back, just like the kitchen knives used by ancient Chinese cooks on TV.
"You kitchen knife..."
Gao Wei couldn't help but muttered something, and Liu Pleiades smiled and said:
"What happened to my kitchen knife?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing..."
Gao Wei knew he had made a mistake, so he directly started talking and said:
"You have the kitchen knife, and what ingredients do you want. But it's not open yet, and the ingredients won't arrive until the afternoon, so now there are only some simple ingredients."
“Simple ingredients…”
Liu Pleiax lowered his head and groaned, then raised his head and asked:
"Do you have tofu here?"
"Tofu??"
Yukihira Soma couldn't help but look at Gao Wei, because as far as he knew, tofu is generally popular in East and Southeast Asia. Although there are not no dishes related to tofu in French cuisine, there are very few. Especially Now when the ingredients are not available, it is even less certain.
But what Xingping Soma didn't expect was that Gao Wei actually nodded and replied:
"Tofu! There is still some of this, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to get it for Liu Pleiades, but just after taking a few steps, he heard Liu Pleiades' voice saying again:
"Excuse me, I need seven pieces of tofu, thank you!"
Gao Wei couldn't help but turn around and look at Liu Pleiaxing strangely. She didn't understand why he wanted so much tofu, but she was just curious and didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, seven pieces of tofu of the same size were placed on the cooking table in front of Xia Tian, while Liu Maoxing picked up a basin, filled it with water and placed it on the cooking table.
Everyone saw Liu Pleiaxing gently pick it up with a kitchen knife, and saw the tofu draw a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell into the basin safely, but the tofu was not damaged at all!
When several people saw this beautiful hand, they couldn't help but feel a sudden change in their hearts. Their faces that were a little sly at first suddenly turned serious. They were all not novices and knew that just by relying on the skill of this hand and turning their heads, they could do it. I don’t know how many days and months it took to sharpen it, but looking at Liu Pleiades Xingyun’s calm and gentle look, it seemed as if the hand he just made was just a normal movement.
It seems that this kid really has some skills. Abel and Lu Shi also put away their playful mentality and began to take a serious look at Liu Pleiades. And Yukihira Soma looked even more anxious and impatient. He was so happy to see him. The old habit happened again.
Only Shinomiya Kojiro's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it...
Liu Pleiax looked at the tofu scattered in the water, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then thrust his left hand into the water, and the kitchen knife in his right hand followed suit, causing splashes in the water.
Everyone could only see Liu Pleiades in the water. He stroked and trimmed the edges, and gradually a vague human figure appeared in the water.
Shinomiya Kojiro's eyes suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but lost his voice:
“This is tofu carving!”
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Some didn't understand what Sigong meant. Seeing everyone's confusion, Sigong explained with a serious face:
"Tofu carving is a very traditional skill in Chinese cuisine that tests the chef's knife skills. Because tofu is soft and difficult to carve, it must be done in water. However, this not only tests the chef's skills, but also tests the chef's mental quality. , because even a little negligence may result in failure, so it is also a great pressure for the cooks themselves.”
Shinomiya Kojiro stared at Liu Subaru's kitchen knife and continued:
"The more complex the knife carving, the more it tests the chef's knife skills. Among them, the human form is the most difficult, and he is currently carving the tofu human form!"
Everyone quickly took a look and saw that the seven pieces of tofu turned into little people under Liu Pleiades' kitchen knife. They were dressed in the clothes of ancient officials. Each one was lying, leaning, or sitting. Some were looking up to the sky and singing, and each of them had various shapes. , what is even more shocking is that the expressions on the faces of those little people are also vivid, just like real people, which is amazing!
And when the seven little people in Xia Tian were placed on the plate and presented in front of everyone, they looked extremely lifelike. Si Gong could no longer maintain his composure on his face and asked in surprise:
"This is……?"
Hearing this, Liu Pleiades smiled slightly and said softly:
"Please review, the secret of the Manchu-Han banquet: "The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest Carving Tofu"!!"
When Shinigong saw this familiar smile, he inexplicably overlapped it with the figure in his heart, and couldn't help but trembled:
