Chapter 399: Family-inherited cooking, Ice-Cold Fresh Sea Bream Mountain!

Seeing Shengzai just one knife, directly stunned the hundred-pound giant sea bream, let alone Erina and Yukihira Soma, even Nakiri Senzaemon on the side showed surprise at this moment.

Everyone present is a chef, and understands the resistance encountered when processing struggling live fish when slaughtering live fish.

Living things have survival instincts, and fish are no exception. Fish are about to be slaughtered, and in the face of life and death, they will naturally struggle hard.

However, if it were a fish of a few pounds, it would be fine. If it were a sea bream of this size, the struggle force can be imagined.

Just like the sea bream of this size in front of Shengzai now, its struggling force can easily fan away two or three Erinas and Minezakis, which is not a problem at all. However, now Shengzai only used one knife, and it stopped struggling completely...

The knife that was patted down just now looked quite ordinary, but anyone with a brain could see that the strength must be quite amazing!

The Seven-Star Knife is named after the seven stars of the Big Dipper, which are the Po Jun Knife, Lian Zhen Knife, Lu Cun Knife, Wen Qu Knife, Ju Men Knife, Wu Qu Knife, and Tan Lang Knife.

The knife Shengzai used to knock the sea bream unconscious just now was the Ju Men Knife, which is the largest size among the Seven-Star Knives.

And now, after knocking the sea bream unconscious with one blow, Shengzai soon pulled out the Wen Qu and Wu Qu knives from the cloth at the same time.

The Wen Qu knife, which is like a fruit knife, saw blood and sealed the throat. A cold light flashed at the fish throat of the sea bream, and the bloodletting operation was completed immediately.

Then, the Wu Qu knife, which was like a sharp cone, directly separated the useless fish fins and fish tail of the sea bream at a speed that Erina and the others couldn't see.

After the fish fins and fish tail were separated and the fish blood was drained, Shengzai inserted the Wen Qu and Wu Qu knives into the cutting board in front of him, and then pulled out the "Tan Lang Knife" from the cloth.

"Po Jun Swift Thunder Cut———!"

The kitchen knife with cold light flashed in Shengzai's hand, and with a series of gorgeous knife lights, the sea bream in front of him was instantly covered. When Erina and Yukihira Soma reacted again, Shengzai had already stopped his movements and was wiping the kitchen knife with a dry cloth.

And when their eyes looked at the sea bream on the table again, they were completely dumbfounded.

Because the huge sea bream before was not only completely separated from the head and body, but even the fish body had been completely processed, and even divided into several parts such as large belly and small belly.

The bigger the fish, the greater the difficulty of cutting, because the thickness of the fish meat is greater, the higher the strength requirement for the chef, and because the fish is big, its fish bones will also be very big, so generally using a kitchen knife to cut such a big fish is quite time-consuming.

But for sashimi cooking, freshness is always the most important point, and the fish slaughtered on the spot happens to meet the characteristics of sashimi.

The bigger the fish, the fatter and more delicious it is. Freshness and high fat content are the top sashimi cooking.

However, as long as they are chefs, they basically understand that wanting to achieve both is not a simple thing.

Big fish with high fat content are fine. After all, the ocean is vast, and excellent ingredients, although expensive, are not rare.

The biggest difficulty of top-level sashimi cooking is that fat big fish must be slaughtered on the spot and processed at an extremely fast speed. This is definitely a quite difficult thing.

Killing a small fish of a few pounds and killing a big fish of a hundred pounds, can the difficulty of these two be compared?

And as everyone knows, the longer it takes to process the fish, the freshness and deliciousness of the sashimi cooking will continue to decline with the passage of time.

Many people might say, since this is the case, then using machines to slaughter, can't it guarantee the freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent?

But first-class chefs all understand that processing sashimi cooking is quite a delicate job.

The fat density and content of each fish are different, and the best position for the taste on the body is also the same. Excellent chefs can judge based on experience, but can machines do this?

This is obviously impossible, so those sashimi dishes cut by machines can generally only enter places like supermarkets, and true top-level sashimi dishes can only be eaten in restaurants.

Processing a sea bream weighing a hundred pounds, even some powerful chefs, it is estimated that it takes at least several minutes, but what did they see now?

Shengzai even completed the overall cutting of the sea bream in just a few breaths of their distraction, and accurately divided it into several parts according to the fat content of the fish body.

"Is it those special kitchen knives of his?"

Looking at Shengzai completing the overall cutting of the sea bream in just a few moments, Erina also turned her eyes to Shengzai's Seven-Star Knife.

A set of good kitchen knives is like one's own soul to a chef.

And for a chef who specializes in sashimi cooking, this point is even more so.

"No, it's definitely not just that. The kitchen knives in Shengzai's hands look sharp, that's true.

But even if you have a set of powerful kitchen knives, you can't process this huge sea bream so easily in such a short time."

Hearing Yukihira Soma's words, Erina also pursed her lips.

Indeed, just as Yukihira Soma said, even if the same kitchen knives were handed over to her, she couldn't process this huge sea bream so perfectly in such a short time.

Looking at Erina and Yukihira Soma who showed surprise, Nakiri Senzaemon, who had his arms crossed, looked at the Seven-Star Knife in Shengzai's hand and said slowly: "The kitchen knives he used are not ordinary kitchen knives.

But the legendary Seven-Star Knife in the Chinese culinary world. To use this set of kitchen knives, you also need to master its supporting techniques, which is not something ordinary chefs can master.

And it's not just techniques, his own physical fitness and basic skills are also quite solid, otherwise even with the Seven-Star Knife, he couldn't complete the processing of the sea bream in such a short time."

After processing the huge sea bream, Shengzai took out the fattest fish belly most suitable for sashimi from the processed sea bream meat, and pulled out the long knife in the Seven-Star Knife—Tan Lang—again.

The sashimi cooking Shengzai is doing now is actually the sea bream cooking Leon made when competing for the legendary kitchenware "Yong Ling Knife" in *Chuuka Ichiban! *—Ice-Cold Fresh Sea Bream Mountain!

As Leon's culinary successor, this sashimi cooking is naturally recorded in the recipe left by Aunt Wenren Qingying to Shengzai.

Although in the plot, "Ice-Cold Fresh Sea Bream Mountain" lost to Xiaodangjia's "True Sea Bream Continent Map," for sashimi cooking, this dish is undoubtedly top-level.

Even in sea bream cooking, in Shengzai's view, Leon only narrowly lost to Xiaodangjia at that time.

Because although "True Sea Bream Continent Map" is awesome, it wins more in innovation and conception.
