Chapter 161 Whale Oil

"Whale blubber?"

Nangong Lian asked curiously.

"What is this? Is it whale oil? What do you need it for?"

Gao Yang shook his head.

"Of course not. Whale blubber is a famous Japanese willow knife, specifically used for slicing fish."

"As for the name 'whale blubber,' it's because during that period Japan violated the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by hunting whales on a large scale. Their craftsmen took pride in this and used various rare metals to forge it."

"This willow knife has been around for decades and is in excellent condition. It has become a symbol of the Japanese catering industry, and many families even use it as a totem."

After listening to Gao Yang's explanation, Nangong Lian clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Are they willing to give it?"

Gao Yang smiled and looked at Fujita Daishu.

"Then it depends on whether they want to kneel down and apologize, right?"

At this moment, Fujita Daiichi looked flustered.

As a descendant of the Fujita family, how could he not know the importance of whale blubber? Giving it to someone else at this time would be tantamount to being branded a traitor.

Fujita Taiga also frowned.

While whale blubber wasn't considered particularly valuable to the Fujita family, it was still a symbol of their spirit, and they had spent a great deal of time and effort maintaining it. It was somewhat painful to have to give it up now.

"No, absolutely not."

"Whale blubber is a spiritual totem for the people of our great Japanese Empire. How can we give it to you so easily?"

"Gao Yang, you are trying to seize the token of my great Japanese empire by force. This is far too much."

Fujita Daishu's face turned bright red.

Fujiwara Taro stepped forward, his face ashen, his tone tinged with anger and embarrassment.

"Winning or losing the contest is one thing, but why are you demanding our treasures from us? This rule was never in place from the beginning; you're deliberately making things difficult for us!"

The students in the notebooks present began to whisper among themselves.

Previously, everyone only remembered that the loser had to kneel down and apologize on the spot, and no one expected that Gao Yang would ask for whale fat.

The situation became deadlocked again.

Just then, Nangong Lian's eyes darted around, and he reached out and reopened the kitchen door that had been closed.

"Alright then, since you lost, you should honor the bet."

His voice was so loud that the nearby guests could hear it.

The group of guests were already waiting for the result, so even though their meal was over, they did not leave.

Furthermore, because the kitchen door was opened and closed repeatedly, they were all very curious about the results of the test and kept craning their necks to look in this direction.

"What happened? What happened? Who won?"

"I guess it's Gao Yang, otherwise why would someone from our own side dare to open the door and let everyone hear the results?"

"I think so too, but the little devil is so strong, especially that Ramen Master, do you really think he can lose?"

"I don't know, we'll see how it goes."

The discussions came like a tidal wave.

Fujita Daishu's face turned pale and then red.

Last time, Gao Yang sent people to force him to kneel down, which was easy to explain.

If he were to kneel before everyone on his own initiative this time, then there would be no need for words; he would be immediately expelled from the Fujita family.

But whale blubber is a genuine treasure, his greatest asset.

He swallowed hard and glanced furtively at his uncle.

However, Fujita Taiga didn't pay much attention to him. He sat in his chair and snorted coldly, which made Fujita Daishu shrink back in fright.

"Hey, have you decided yet? Are you going to kneel down and apologize in front of all these people, or hand over the whale blubber you have?"

Nangong Lian smiled innocently.

But to the little notebook and his friends, that smile was pure demonic.

This move put Fujita Daishu and his group in a very difficult position.

"So, if that's the case, then Gao Yang has won, otherwise how could he be so arrogant?"

"If that's the case, does it mean we can expect to see their apology in the newspapers?"

"Okay, okay, I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's newspaper."

Fujita Daishu's expression grew increasingly grim upon hearing the murmurs.

He had originally planned that after defeating Gao Yang, he could mock him in front of so many people and make up for all the humiliation he had suffered.

Unexpectedly, a series of defeats led to his downfall.

If he hands over the whale blubber, his assets and even his status within the Fujita family will decline. But if he doesn't, and everyone sees him kneeling on the ground, then he's probably really doomed.

He glanced at Fujiwara Taro beside him, and a fire suddenly welled up inside him for no apparent reason.

It's all because of this good-for-nothing that I lost such an important match.

If this piece of trash were any stronger, Gao Yang would be kneeling on the ground begging for an apology.

Fortunately, this waste was divided among several families, so I can get back the lost resources through some means.

Thinking about this made him feel a little better.

"Alright, the people of our great Japanese Empire are true to their word, whatever they say goes."

"I'll send you the whale blubber in a couple of days."

Fujita Daishu said those words with his neck stiff.

After hearing the answer he wanted, Gao Yang looked at Kong Xiangyun with a smile.

"Master Kong, we still need to trouble you to continue to bear witness to this matter."

Kong Xiangyun nodded.

He remained silent on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.

The notebooks had many demands for this collaboration, and many aspects were still unresolved.

Now things are much better. The other party's attempt to intimidate us failed, and their arrogance has diminished considerably. As a result, there is room for negotiation in many areas.

He looked at Gao Yang, stroked his beard, and thought the kid was extremely interesting.

"Alright, let's see them out then."

Gao Yang gave a signal, and the bodyguards immediately went into the kitchen. They looked at everyone in silence, as if a black city wall stood there, creating a strong sense of oppression.

The little notebooks, already at a disadvantage, were even more guilty now, and could only tuck their tails between their legs as they walked out one by one.

Only Fujita Taiga, under the pretext of negotiations, stayed with Kong Xiangyun, requested a private room, and went up through the guest room corridor.

building.

Today's competition can be described as a double loss; not only did we lose face, but we also handed over our precious treasures to someone else.

On Gao Yang's side, everyone was overjoyed.

"Gao Yang, Gao Yang, you're amazing!"

Lin Ran's eyes were filled with admiration, almost sparkling with stars, while Wang Biao was pondering where to place the whale fat so that everyone could see it.

Nangong Hong also came over, staring at the backs of the group of notebooks with a sigh.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. Even the Ramen Master from Japan couldn't beat you."

Gao Yang did not reply.

He couldn't very well say that he was reborn and had honed his culinary skills for decades in his previous life.

He watched the little notebook disappear into the distance, his brow furrowed slightly.

He understood that this was just the beginning, and given Little Ben's personality, there would definitely be other forms of retaliation later on, so he had to be extra careful.
