Survive with the beautiful girl

Erina Nakiri lowered her eyes to her chest. She had no problem competing in knife skills, but she felt that Liu Cheng's approach was a bit too far-fetched.

“What’s important is not the eight legendary kitchen utensils, but the chefs who are attracted to compete for the kitchen utensils.

Besides, we only know the general location of the other kitchen utensils, and we still need the map in Master Luo Tian's hand for the detailed location."

Liucheng shook his head without further explanation. He wanted to eliminate the shadow that Nakiri Tsuchiya had cast on Erina, so that the girl would become strong enough to face him boldly. It would naturally take a lot of effort to deny his ideas.

In this world, every cooking competition is a battle between philosophy and life...

Failure and victory will undoubtedly become an accumulation of enhancing Erina's confidence and courage.

"Guangzhou is a food capital. Are you really going to stay in the inn all the time instead of going out for a walk?"

"What's so interesting about the world hundreds of years ago..."

Although Erina Nakiri said this, her body was quite honest and she held the hand that Liucheng placed in front of her.

“It’s not just the high-end ingredients that can make delicious food.

Some inconspicuous items can also be used to make delicious dishes with a flavor of life.

Secretary, please change your clothes quickly, and let's go shopping together later."

Arata Hisako gradually began to get used to being called Liucheng, and now she is even too lazy to refute.

At Liucheng's urging, Feishazi took her clothes and hid behind the screen and changed them as quickly as possible.

Weird, why is the size so perfect?

The pink-haired female secretary stared at Liu Cheng, who had been waiting at the door, with suspicion on her face, and her vigilance increased again.

"Aren't you worried that after you get the Eternal Spirit Blade, you'll be rejected by this legendary kitchen utensil?"

After Erina Nakiri pulled Ryuo and other girls, Hisako, to catch up, she spoke casually.

“Although the kitchen utensils are made of meteorites, there may be some magical aspects, but from the information available, it seems that as long as the cooking skills meet the standards, one can be selected as the heir.

Yongling Knife is specially used to process seafood. In addition to being sharp, it can also make the lost freshness of ingredients become fresh again...

I feel like this function is a bit useless. I don’t know how the food cooked with this knife will taste. I will try to replicate it after I get it.”

People were coming and going on the quaint street. Liucheng was protecting the two beautiful girls and running around in front of various snack stalls.

"How about some stinky tofu?"

There was obvious resistance on Erina Nakiri's cute face. She would definitely not eat it just by smelling the smell.

"You are probably making fun of me!"

The girl took a step back, and the secretary, who was still doing her job conscientiously even though she was fired, immediately stood in front of Erina.

"Well, Erina, you haven't eaten it before, have you?"

Liu Cheng was a little surprised. He turned his attention to Fei Shazi. "Secretary, would you like to try it?"

Xinhu Feishazi stared at the small plate of inky black tofu in Liucheng's hand. It was fried to a crispy outside and tender inside. Various condiments such as chili peppers, garlic, and onions could be distinguished in the sauce provided by the store.

Ignoring the indescribable stench, it looks quite clean.

She looked at Liu Cheng's greasy mouth and was inspired to swallow her saliva.

Just give it a try...Stinky tofu is a well-known traditional Chinese snack. Hisako has always heard of it but like Erina, she has never tasted it.

"what--"

She saw that Liucheng had already picked up a piece of meat dipped in sauce and handed it to her with a bamboo stick. She couldn't refuse the kindness and glanced guiltily at Miss Erina who was hesitant to say something. She simply made up her mind, closed her eyes, opened her mouth and took a small bite.

Huh?

When she put the food in her mouth, she could taste the burnt aroma of tofu and the fragrance of the dipping sauce. It was a little salty, but it was more delicious. The subtle psychological gap prompted Feishazi to continue tasting it. She felt the rich taste and a wonderful fragrance.

"How about it?"

Erina asked worriedly from the side, "Hisachi is good at medicinal cuisine and her taste is lighter, unlike Orange and Yuzu who like spicy food."

"Not bad... maybe it's more psychological?"

Liucheng finished the stinky tofu on the small plate in just a few bites and cast his eyes towards the restaurant not far away.

The smell of stinky tofu is too irritating. If it were Erina, she would probably have a physiological reaction as soon as she opened her mouth.

At this time, if you take her to taste those delicious but "vulgar" meals that are not favored by others, I think her resistance will be alleviated.

People tend to tend to compromise. If you ask Erina to eat stinky tofu at first glance, she will definitely refuse. But if you then ask her to try some less high-end, more proletarian food, there is a high probability that the girl will agree.

“After all, it’s a famous snack that has been around for many years. Without some special features, the taste alone would be enough to drive away most customers.

We've been walking for most of the day, why don't we sit in the shop in front? I'll have some tea and rinse my mouth."

Yangquan Restaurant.

As a regular customer, Liucheng was quickly led by the waiter to an elegant and quiet seat. He skillfully called out the names of the dishes and asked for a pot of tea.

Erina Nakiri, who was obviously a foreigner, attracted the attention of many guests. However, when they saw Liu Cheng sitting next to her, awe appeared on their faces and they immediately looked away.

After all, there are only a handful of people in Guangzhou who can claim to be a top chef and still look so young.

"I said that revealing your identity as a 'super chef' would save you a lot of trouble."

Liucheng took a sip of the refreshing chrysanthemum tea and looked towards the street outside the store.

The news that he will inherit the Eternal Spirit Sword has been released, and now he is just waiting for someone else who is interested in it to appear as an opponent.

It seems that the following legendary kitchen utensils can also be played in this way. It would be even better if they can attract people from the dark cooking world.

It is always better to have an enemy who comes to you on his own initiative than to find him empty-handed when you go to find him yourself.

It would be bad if we alerted the enemy. Although the dark cuisine world has its foothold in Liangshan Marsh, Liucheng has no idea whether they have any special escape route.

It would be better to take the eight major cooking utensils and wait for those so-called "Five Tigers" to be delivered to the door one by one. Liucheng has always been thinking about their dark cooking skills.

Chapter 387 Knife Skill Competition

Two days later, early in the morning, at Yangquan Restaurant.

"As expected, he has arrived, the Seven Star Blade Ryan?"

Liucheng put his hands in front of his eyes and looked at Ryan who was having a conflict with Liu Maoxing at the door of Yangquan Restaurant. He turned his head to look at Erina Nakiri who finally started to taste her morning tea under his guidance.

"If it's a sword fight, are you sure you can beat him? The "North Star Heavenly Wolf Blade" is not included in the "Seven Star Sword". If you take out the "Seven Star Sword" from Paradise in the competition, I don't know what kind of expression Ryan will have."

After all, as a master of knife skills, Ryan killed the knifesmith Roger who made the knife for him because of a momentary thought. When he saw that Erina had the same "Seven Star Sword" in her hand, his level would probably drop out of fear and guilt, right?

Maybe I can resolve my heart knot in advance...

Erina Nakiri rolled her eyes at Liucheng, carefully savoring the flavor of the shrimp dumplings in her mouth and deducing the cooking method. She took a sip of tea before speaking.

"It's just a knife made of ice. It will freeze your hands because of the cold air. It's not as good as my 'Heaven and Earth as a Furnace'."

The girl is still as proud and arrogant as ever. If it was Ryan who had overcome his mental block in the later period, she might have looked up to him a little, but not Ryan who had just escaped from the dark culinary world.

If Norton knew that you used this word spirit to cook, he would probably cry to death.

Liu Cheng silently complained about Erina's point of view and continued to pay attention to the movement at the door.

Ryan’s cooking skills may not be the best, but he seems to have never lost a fight with Master “Steel Stick” Xie.

A person who has sympathy for life becomes a chef famous for his knife skills. I think he is a person of strong determination.

"I'm full, let's call Hisako over. Since Ren and the others are here, the knife skills competition should be about to start, right?"

Erina Nakiri put down her chopsticks and glanced at Master Luo Tian and Chef Jidi of Yangquan Restaurant. Although she had traveled all over Guangzhou with Liu Cheng in the past few days and tasted many dishes that she had once looked down upon.

But life without a mobile phone and WiFi is really boring.

The girls' comics that Yuzu asked Cheng to bring to her to cheer her up had all been read by Erina all night.

Without those tedious activities, Erina Nakiri had nothing to do and became confused.

In the past, when she was performing missions in the amusement park, she had to face the pressure of survival and train consciously. Now, she was extremely bored and followed Liu Cheng around Guangzhou, feeling that she was in a very bad state of just eating and waiting to die.

After having morning tea, the two men took out their secretaries from the inn and headed straight to the Daxian Temple on the hillside of Hualin Mountain.

Daxian Temple is an ancient temple that provides kitchen utensils and legendary kitchen utensils for retired chefs. For thousands of years, chefs who want to obtain the recognition of the legendary kitchen utensil "Eternal Spirit Knife" have come here in an endless stream, and the etiquette of "the victory or defeat of knife skills in front of the god" has been preserved quite intact.

Even though there were four challengers at the same time, when Liucheng and Erina stood in front of the chopping board, each of them had a huge sea bream of similar quality and very fresh in front of them.

According to the host, these four sea breams were caught and brought ashore at sunrise this morning. After he announced that there was no time limit for the competition and that the contestants needed to make four dishes that they were most satisfied with, Erina Nakiri did not start immediately but instead hugged her chest and chatted with Orange.

"Why do you think sea bream was chosen as the ingredient for the competition?"

"Snapper lives in the coastal waters. Not only does its red color look festive, but it is also a premium fish ingredient with tender meat and delicious taste. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, snapper is rich in nutrients and has the effects of nourishing the stomach and spleen, dispelling wind, and promoting digestion."

While Liu Cheng was removing the scales from the sea bream's body with his knife quickly amid the audience's exclamations, he was showing off his knowledge to Erina Nakiri.

“Isn’t it because sea breams are polygamous? Guess the gender of the sea bream in my hand?”

Nakiri Erina slowly took out the "Seven Star Sword" from the box she was carrying. Zhou Meili, who was also a girl and had been paying attention to her, covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed, "Seven Star Sword? Why do you have one too?"

A good kitchen knife is undoubtedly a great help to the chef himself, especially for Ryan who has become famous with the "Seven Star Knife". He stared at the "Seven Star Knife" in Erina Nakiri's hand in a daze while processing the sea bream in his hand.

That woman's knowledge of what ingredients each "Seven Star Knife" can be used to process is obviously no less than mine. Judging from the maintenance and marks on the handles and blades, she has been using that set of knives for even longer than me...

How can this be?

Ryan was horrified. He barely suppressed his chaotic thoughts and kept himself focused. Everything would be decided after the cooking competition was over...

But Ryan's hand holding the knife was still shaking slightly.

"As a chef, your hands are so shaky that you can't even hold a knife steadily... You might as well just give up and avoid wasting ingredients."

Liu Cheng, who was sitting diagonally opposite Ryan, suddenly spoke. Seeing that Liu Cheng was avoiding the question and talking to a burly man instead, Erina Nakiri became a little annoyed and knocked the back of the knife on the sea bream's head, making a dull sound.

After being reminded by Liucheng, Ryan realized that he was abnormal and simply closed his eyes and adjusted his physical condition.

There is no time limit. In order to fight against the dark culinary world, he has to win the knife skills competition in the best condition!

The waiters and chefs of Yangquan Winery who were watching began to cheer him on. Liu Maoxing and Ryan were both from Yangquan Winery. The legendary map of kitchenware was also kept by Master Luo Tian...

They didn't want the "Eternal Spirit Sword" to be taken away by outsiders.

Listening to the sound of Erina chopping the chopping board next door, Liucheng showed a wry smile on his face. After the "monkfish", Erina now took the opportunity to compare him to a "sea bream".

Sea bream usually form a large family of ten to twenty individuals, with the male fish serving as the "head of the family" and the other female fish serving as wives.
