Chapter 398: Showdown, I am the user of the Seven-Star Knife!

"Actually, while you were eating 'Three Don'ts,' I had plenty of time to prepare another dish.

But the next dish requires freshness, so I waited until you finished eating."

Shengzai said while taking out a piece of cloth from the kitchen. When the cloth was spread out, Nakiri Senzaemon and the others present found that there were various types of kitchen knives inserted in the interlayer of the cloth.

And when seeing these kitchen knives of different shapes, Nakiri Senzaemon's face also showed a surprised expression at this moment.

Although he is not from the Chinese culinary world, with his status and status in the culinary world, he naturally has also heard of the rumors of the Seven-Star Knife.

So at this moment, seeing Shengzai spread out the cloth and looking at the kitchen knives flashing cold light, Nakiri Senzaemon also exclaimed in surprise: "Could these kitchen knives be..."

"That's right, this set of kitchen knives is named Seven-Star Knife, and I am also the inherited user of this set of kitchen knives."

Whether to use the Seven-Star Knife to cook in front of Nakiri Senzaemon, Shengzai was actually hesitant.

But soon, he thought about it again. Instead of hiding it, it is better to be open and honest, so as not to be discovered when competing with others in the future, and he wouldn't even have the chance to explain.

The users of the Seven-Star Knife are Leon and Xiang En. Compared to Xiang En, who went all the way to the dark, although Leon was also a person of the Dark Culinary Realm at first, he was finally whitewashed.

It's just that Xiang En's lineage is now only left with his cheap mother, and his mother only has one child, him, so he is Leon's descendant and also Xiang En's descendant.

As far as Shengzai knows, Leon and Xiang En should even be enemies, and as the descendant of their cheap father and cheap mother, being able to come together is also quite outrageous in Shengzai's view.

Although Nakiri Senzaemon has a certain status and status in the culinary world, he is ultimately not from the Chinese culinary world.

Regarding the things about the God of Cooking and the Dark Culinary Realm more than a hundred years ago, he might know some, but he definitely doesn't know much.

Leon and Xiang En both used the Seven-Star Knife, so as long as he uses it as Leon's descendant and doesn't use the techniques of the Dark Culinary Realm in front of outsiders, there should be no problem.

Instead of being discovered while hiding, it is better to reveal Shengzai's identity as Leon's descendant through Nakiri Senzaemon's status and status, and have no connection with Xiang En. This is Shengzai's idea.

"Minezaki, can you help me get some ice cubes and pile them into a small hill state?"

Seeing Shengzai take out the Seven-Star Knife that he usually doesn't use, Minezaki also knew that Shengzai was serious this time, so she also ran to the refrigerator to get ice cubes.

And just when Minezaki went to get ice cubes, Shengzai directly fished out a red sea bream from the water tank in the shop.

Equipment like oxygen-pumping water tanks wasn't in Shengzai's shop before, but as business became prosperous, in order to provide customers with better service and ensure the freshness of ingredients, Minezaki had already arranged corresponding equipment for Shengzai.

Considering that Nakiri Senzaemon and the others were only four people, Shengzai didn't fish out the largest sea bream in the water tank.

However, Nakiri Senzaemon, who noticed this scene, soon showed dissatisfaction: "Are you planning to make sashimi? Since so, why not choose the largest one?

Are you planning to perfunctory me, or do you think we can't afford top-level sashimi cooking?"

Hearing the old man's quite dissatisfied words, Shengzai was also stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "No, every ingredient in the shop is carefully selected by me.

Including every fish in the water tank, whether it is fat content or fish meat density, it is the best of its kind.

The reason why I didn't choose the big one is just because I don't want to waste food. After all, you have eaten quite a few 'Three Don'ts,' and there are two women present."

Shengzai didn't lie. His original excellent dynamic vision seems to have evolved into a supernatural ability like "God's Eye" in this world.

No matter what kind of ingredients, Shengzai can intuitively see their grade and quality.

"Do you know why I am called the 'Demon King of Food'? That is because my desire and appetite for delicious food are as greedy and endless as a demon king."

"That's right, it's just a sea bream sashimi, not something amazing. It makes it seem like we can't afford it!

Catch the biggest one. The rest are too small. Who are you looking down on? Let other customers see it, and they will think that I and grandfather can't afford it!"

If the ingredients here are not enough, I will call someone to send some bigger sea breams."

Hearing Erina's rich and imposing tone, Shengzai's mouth also slightly cracked. Is he treating him as a rich person in front of him?

Very good, what he likes most is this kind of rich person... oh no, people with money and taste.

Originally, Shengzai didn't want to slaughter Nakiri Senzaemon and the others. After all, they are the Totsuki Director-General and the heroine.

But Erina, this tsundere young lady, is too arrogant. When waiting for Minezaki to settle the bill, Shengzai felt that it was sorry for the other party's character if he didn't calculate three times... ten times the processing fee.

After sending the lively small sea bream back to the water tank, Shengzai reached out and fished out the largest sea bream in the water tank, and muttered: "This time it should be your bad luck..."

And just when Shengzai fished out the sea bream that was more than a meter long, Minezaki finally pushed out the dining car piled into a small ice hill.

The two most important points of processing sashimi cooking are the quality and freshness of the ingredients themselves, and the extreme knife skills.

When the sea bream, which was more than a meter long and weighed nearly a hundred pounds, was sent to the cutting board in front of Shengzai, it was still struggling lively.

And seeing such a huge sea bream struggling, Yukihira Soma and Minezaki, who originally wanted to come forward to help Shengzai process it, were stopped by him.

A sea bream weighing a hundred pounds, if it were in the sea, would be enough to easily drag an adult into the water.

And such a big fish, even if it leaves the water, wanting to process it alone is not a simple thing.

The tail fin of a hundred-pound sea bream waving rapidly, the strength is quite amazing. If you are not prepared and are fanned by it, it is not impossible for your bones to break on the spot.

However, just when Erina wanted to see Shengzai make a fool of himself, she didn't expect that Shengzai, who refused the help of Yukihira Soma and Minezaki, looked at the sea bream struggling on the cutting board and directly pulled out a thick-backed kitchen knife from the Seven-Star Knife, and with just one pat, the hundred-pound sea bream actually stopped struggling immediately!

(Whether there is a hundred-pound sea bream, and whether there is one that can land alive, honestly, the author doesn't know.

But this is anime, being serious is meaningless, not to mention that this world might be mixed with fantasy ingredients like *Toriko* later (▽｀)
