Chapter 437: Explosive Flame Shengzai, Performing Magic Under the Guise of Cooking?

~7 min read 1,260 words

The crabs Shengzai and the others caught from the river were not large, so wanting to pick out the crab meat from them was a delicate job that consumed a lot of time.

However, what made everyone present unbelievable was that from the time each crab was placed on the cutting board to its perfect shell-meat separation, the time passed was only less than a few seconds!

Every time the crab was taken out, accompanied by a few flashes of knife light, the fine crab meat had been perfectly picked out and placed on a plate on the side.

And in less than a few minutes, the large bucket of crabs they caught had already been processed by Shengzai, and the others around hadn't even reacted from the shock just now.

"Was he performing magic just now? I didn't even see how he used the knife; his hands even had afterimages. Is this a level that humans can achieve?"

"It must be just grandstanding; we couldn't even keep up with our eyes. Can those crab meats be picked out cleanly?"

"But even if they weren't picked out cleanly, that's already quite amazing, right? If it were you, could you do it?"

Shengzai's method of processing river crabs directly scared many Totsuki students present, including Ryoko, who was Shengzai's partner, as well as Takumi on the other side, and Megumi Tadokoro.

Even Hinako Gan, who originally only held a certain curiosity about Shengzai, after seeing the skills Shengzai just showed, walked slowly to the front of them and picked up a crab leg processed by Shengzai.

And just by taking a look, a moved expression instantly appeared on Hinako Gan's face.

The crab leg, which was even thinner than a chopstick, was completely separated by a crisp and neat cut, and the crab meat inside was perfectly picked out.

There wasn't even a little bit of crab meat residue in the crab leg shell in her hand!

In other words, the dazzling knife skills Shengzai just used were not just fast, but fast and accurate!

Being able to perfectly pick out these fine crab leg meats in such a short time tested not only speed and knife skills but also required outstanding eyesight.

Hinako Gan didn't know if Senior Shinomiya, who was more powerful than her, or even Senior Tangdao had such a level of knife skills, but for her alone, in terms of knife skills, she was simply no match for the boy in front of her.

"Shengzai, you are too amazing! How did you manage to pick out all these fine crab leg meats perfectly at such a fast speed?"

Not only Hinako Gan, but as Shengzai's partner, Ryoko also soon discovered the crab leg shell with no crab meat residue and directly let out an exclamation.

Regarding this, Shengzai just slightly pulled up the corner of his mouth and said: "Nothing else, just practice makes perfect.

Of course, our family's cooking knife skills are also very powerful."

Compared to Hinako Gan and Ryoko and others who were greatly shocked, Chuangzhen Xingping, who was also paying attention to Shengzai's side, didn't show too much surprise on his face.

After all, Shengzai's knife skills, which could be called outrageous, were not the first time he had seen them.

However, since the dish Shengzai made this time was based on crabs, and they were such small crabs, it couldn't be sashimi cuisine.

And as long as it wasn't sashimi cuisine based on knife skills, then he, Chuangzhen Xingping, still had a chance of winning!

After Shengzai picked out all the crab meat, he poured oil into a pot on the side, poured all the crab meat from the plate into the pot, and added ingredients like chopped green onion and ginger for stir-frying.

Because the temperature of the oil in the pot was too high, coupled with Shengzai's amazing arm strength and wok-tossing technique, a bright red tongue of fire suddenly rushed into the sky from the pot.

There was a stir-frying method called "Explosive Flame" in the dark culinary world, but the person good at using this technique was Ya Kan.

Shengzai, who inherited the cooking skills of Xiang En and Lei En, didn't master this powerful "Explosive Flame" stunt.

But he couldn't do "Explosive Flame," but he still had a cheat; as long as he subtly released his flame ability while tossing the wok, ordinary people couldn't see any problems at all.

The flames were dancing and circling, and at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Shengzai also seemed to have transformed into a flame magician.

The ultimate temperature and the just-right flame control perfectly preserved the umami and aroma of the crab meat, and when Shengzai poured the stir-fried crab meat from the pot back onto the plate, everyone present still couldn't react from the shock just now for a long time.

The Totsuki students present were also making their own dishes; if they could, they also wanted to focus on making their own dishes.

But the point was, the movement Shengzai made when cooking was really too eye-catching and shocking.

If the knife skills he showed before could only be seen by the stove near Shengzai, then the amazing fire skills just now could be seen by everyone in the classroom kitchen.

Many Totsuki students even thought that a cooking accident had occurred because of the tongue of fire rushing into the sky, but they didn't expect that it was just Shengzai showing off his operation.

"I suspect he is performing magic in the way of cooking; the chef is just an identity he uses to disguise himself. His true identity must be from some magical fantasy world!"

"Brother, read more cookbooks and watch fewer two-dimensional girls. Is that magic? That is the ultimate fire skill.

Hot oil in the pot contacting flames can theoretically form a visual impact of 'flaring,' but this is a very difficult fire technique, not to mention the fire skill he just showed was even like a flame feast."

"Such exaggerated knife skills and fire skills, is this the strength of Totsuki's 'special student'!"

Undoubtedly, the "Explosive Flame" technique Shengzai just showed directly shocked everyone present.

Even Chuangzhen Xingping, who had a certain understanding of Shengzai's strength, felt even more pressure after seeing Shengzai's "Explosive Flame" just now.

But wanting him to admit defeat just like that was definitely impossible; the stronger Shengzai's strength was, the higher Chuangzhen Xingping's fighting spirit was.

After plating the stir-fried crab meat, Shengzai stuffed these crab meats back into the previous crab shells, coated them with breadcrumbs, and deep-fried them in an oil pot.

There was a cooking method in Japanese cuisine where everything could be fried as tempura, so the "Crab Dou" Shengzai was making now, paired with miso soup and a dipping sauce made of crab roe and crab brains, could be said to be a dish with a Japanese style, which was no problem.

When one golden-fried crab ball after another was scooped out of the oil, an ultimate crispy aroma already filled the air, and when Shengzai and Ryoko finished plating, many people present couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the dish in front of Shengzai and the others.

Although they hadn't eaten it yet, just by looking at the process of Shengzai making this dish just now and the tempting aroma emitted by this dish at this moment, everyone was quite clear that this dish must be quite delicious!
