Moonlight, like a cold silver sword, reflected light and shadow through the window into the Izakaya!
A chilling cold air seemed to emerge from every corner, from the walls, floor, ceiling, and even the dining tables, filling the air with a shiver-inducing cold.
"So cold!"
"The temperature of the entire Izakaya has suddenly dropped a lot…"
Annie, standing behind Nagiri Mana, shivered and hugged her arms, even though she was keeping a certain distance from Sosuke.
Looking closely at the Beichen Tianlang Blade in Sosuke's hand.
The blade was long and slender, with a certain curvature, and the hilt was made of bone, with an exquisite dragon pattern carved on its surface. Its elegant appearance exuded an artistic aura!
At the same time, Nagiri Mana was deeply puzzled. Such a blade did not look like a real chef's knife.
And could such a knife properly prepare ingredients?
…
"It seems frozen?"
Just as Sosuke was about to pull out the sheath, he found that the sheath was stuck as if glued with 502 adhesive, and no matter how hard he pulled, it wouldn't come out.
In frustration, he could only lift the Beichen Tianlang Blade and smash it hard onto the ground!
Bang!
After a sound.
The sheath slowly began to crack.
Finally, it shattered at a visible speed, until the entire blade of the Beichen Tianlang Blade was fully revealed before everyone.
The delicate and sharp ice blade was smooth as a mirror, radiating cold light. Especially after being unsheathed, under the illumination of the lights, the ice blade reflected a dazzling light that made it impossible to look at directly!
"Ice?"
"This… is this a knife made of ice?"
When the light faded, Nagiri Mana slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw the true appearance of the Beichen Tianlang Blade before her, her jaw almost dropped in shock!
Sosuke's cooking should not be analyzed from a rational scientific perspective; she had already known this. But faced with a chef's knife made of ice, her mind still struggled to comprehend.
However, just as the atmosphere became dead silent.
A more biting, more chilling coldness quickly swept over!
"So it's an ice knife. No wonder the environment of this Izakaya became so cold."
"Ah… achoo… I can't take it anymore, I'm shivering from the cold."
Annie shivered uncontrollably, feeling as cold as, no, colder than ice.
"Eh?"
"It's smoking."
Tadokoro Megumi also shivered while covering her mouth in surprise.
"To be precise, this shouldn't be smoke, but a layer of frost appearing on the ice blade, emitting cold air as the ice blade gradually melts!"
Isshiki Satoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression serious.
"Strange, what can such a knife do?"
Yukihira Soma's teeth chattered from the cold, and his face showed confusion.
With the development of various modern technologies, the materials, types, uses, and functions of chef's knives have all changed.
Although a chef's knife can now be made from several different materials, and a versatile chef's knife can complete many tasks, especially large chef's knives, tough meat cleavers, small paring knives…
But as the saying goes, a good knife matches a hero. For professional chefs, having a good kitchen knife is also the capital for survival and livelihood!
In short, usability is key.
But who would say that when processing ingredients, they would use a chef's knife made of ice?
…
"Sosuke, what is this knife… called?"
Rubbing her hands, Nagiri Mana stared at the knife for a few moments, then couldn't help but blink and ask curiously.
"Beichen Tianlang Blade."
Sosuke, holding the ice knife tightly, replied in a calm tone.
"Beichen Tianlang Blade?"
"The name of this knife is as magnificent as Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain!"
Nagiri Mana was stunned, then murmured to herself.
Beside her, Annie pricked up her ears and heard such a domineering knife name, quickly recalling the book "THE BOOK" Culinary Scripture.
She found that the book currently had no information recorded about this type of ice blade!
So, she couldn't help but wonder whether to record the information about this knife.
After all, she had every reason to believe that if this knife were recorded, it would definitely cause a huge sensation in the entire culinary world!
"Are you going to use this ice knife to prepare the sea bream?"
Nagiri Mana thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"Yes!"
Sosuke nodded: "I told you last time that the Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain dish requires this chef's knife."
…
With that, Sosuke's gaze sharpened.
He first took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
Then he stared intently at the sea bream on the cutting board, his aura suddenly surging, and he said domineeringly: "Then, let my most spectacular performance begin!"
He did not hesitate at all and swung the knife down.
The mirror-like ice knife cut a long arc through the air, making "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds due to its excessive speed.
Then, he was like a knight wielding a sword, each swing of the knife like a scene from a poem, his figure like the wind, his knife like lightning. That spirit of reigning over the world was fully displayed in this dish.
And those swift attacks, one after another, made everyone present feel a strong pressure.
"This… the scoring technique just now wasn't his true strength?"
Sōma, watching, was stunned.
If the Squirrel Mandarin Fish dish just now made Sōma believe that Sosuke's skill was comparable to his father Jōichirō Yukihira.
Then, this time's Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain made him doubt himself a little.
Perhaps, as Isshiki Satoshi said, Sosuke truly cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, every thin slice of sea bream was attached to the ice mountain, and a plate of Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain was thus completed.
…
When the faint light shone on the small ice mountain.
The crystal-clear ice surface reflected dazzling rays of light, giving people an incredibly stunning beauty!
"Oh my God!"
"This dish is too beautiful."
Tadokoro Megumi, seeing the Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain dish for the first time, was the first to exclaim in shock.
She noticed that the sliced sea bream seemed to have disappeared after being attached to the ice mountain.
