Cuisine itself has no absolute "strongest" because everyone's definition and preference for cuisine are different!
However, if we speak from a specific aspect, cuisine can also have a "strongest" representative. For example, Beijing Roast Duck is one of China's famous dishes, a representative dish of the capital, and is even hailed as "the world's delicacy."
Italian Pizza!
French Foie Gras!
Japan sushi!
Indian Curry!
These are also representative dishes of different countries!
In Erina's heart, any dish that satisfies her God Tongue is definitely the "strongest" dish!
Last night, she actually wanted to say, "This is the most perfect dish I have ever eaten!" but due to her personality, she hesitated to speak in front of Zhang Fan!
...
The so-called new dish is actually the special recipe Zhang Fan just acquired, Reincarnation Spring Roll.
To make this dish, one must first prepare various vegetable ingredients, such as shiitake mushrooms, chinese cabbage, carrots, bamboo shoots, green peppers, etc. Zhang Fan first turned on the faucet, washed all these vegetables one by one, and prepared to chop them finely!
Then, he finally took out the slicing knife from the sparrow's rhythm chef set.
Looking closely, although this knife is a slicing knife, its shape is similar to a broadsword, with a thick spine and an extremely sharp tip!
Under the faint light, it could even flash with a dazzling blade light that made both Erina and Hisako feel a sting in their eyes!
"Hmm?"
"The pattern on this knife..."
Having never seen such a strange chef's knife, Erina couldn't help but be stunned.
Her intuition told her that the slicing knife Zhang Fan was using was not an ordinary chef's knife sold on the market.
Zhang Fan, on the other hand, ignored Erina's reaction. His gaze sharpened, and after calming himself slightly, he quickly swung the knife down! Accompanied by the "thump-thump-thump" sound of the knife, almost in an instant, all the vegetables on the cutting board were finely chopped by him!
Next, he blanched the chopped vegetables separately, then added a special sauce and mixed them.
...
At this moment, residual images appeared as Zhang Fan swung his knife.
Hisako Arato couldn't help but quickly cover her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Only now did she finally remember that last night, when Zhang Fan made those three Western fast foods, he didn't seem to use a chef's knife. Therefore, it was difficult to glimpse his knife skills at that time!
But now, having witnessed his knife skills, she was deeply shocked by their speed and force, which were beyond what an ordinary chef could achieve!
"Erina-ojousama."
"His... his knife skills are simply too overbearing."
"I've never seen any chef's knife skills as clean and precise as his!"
Finally, Hisako, who could no longer hold back, exclaimed loudly.
"Strange!"
"His age should be around 20, right?"
"If someone his age were at Totsuki Culinary Academy, he would be similar to Rindou-senpai and the others!"
"And I've had the privilege of witnessing the cooking of Elite Ten members like Eishi Tsukasa-senpai and Kobayashi Rindo-senpai."
"How should I put it?"
"Their knife techniques are certainly amazing."
"But I only need to train for a few more years, and I can still reach their level. However... Zhang Fan's knife skills make me feel that even if I work hard for a few more decades, I might not be able to reach his standard!"
Erina's eyes flickered a few times, and she quickly discovered a terrifying fact: the strength Zhang Fan displayed was often completely inconsistent with his age!
And if Zhang Fan, who was busy at the moment, knew her thoughts, he would definitely praise her for her keen eye.
After all, before Zhang Fan transmigrated to this world, his culinary skills had already reached the level of a five-star hotel chef!
Let alone young chefs around 20, even chefs in their 50s might not be his match!
...
After the vegetable filling was prepared, it was time to process the tai snapper!
When a large tai snapper was placed on the cutting board, Erina's eyes next to it couldn't help but light up slightly.
You know, in the realm of Japan cuisine, sea bream is almost like a "god."
In all the major seafood markets across Japan, there are about 170 types of sea bream, but only 48 of them are the most delicious. Among these 48 types of sea bream, they are divided into three categories: super delicious, very delicious, and delicious.
Among them, only 16 types of super delicious sea bream are listed as 5-star fish.
And tai snapper is one of these top 16 types of sea bream!
Looking closely, Zhang Fan's tai snapper was very large, its length alone exceeding 1 meter, which was considered a "giant" among all common tai snapper!
Although bigger fish are not necessarily tastier, larger fish often have more flesh and nutrients.
It's no exaggeration to say that a tai snapper like Zhang Fan's is a rare find on the market!
"What!"
"Doesn't his Izakaya also have very rare ingredients?"
"If he had brought them out to cook last night, maybe he really would have convinced me!"
Withdrawing her gaze, Erina muttered a few words. Her tone seemed a bit complaining, but also a bit... expectant!
...
At this moment, Zhang Fan was seen cleaning the surface of the tai snapper.
Then he continued to use the slicing knife from his sparrow's rhythm chef set to remove impurities and scales from the surface.
He then placed the tai snapper on the cutting board, head up, back out, belly down, and directly used the tip of the slicing knife to make a small incision on the fish skin!
Immediately after, he gently cut along the demarcation line between the fish skin and the fish meat.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Soon, the entire skin of the tai snapper was quickly cut open by Zhang Fan.
Such delicate knife skills were naturally completely different from the extremely overbearing knife skills he had just displayed!
And watching Zhang Fan use the same chef's knife to apply different knife techniques depending on the ingredient, Erina could only stare dumbfounded!
"Huh?"
"On him, just how many special skills does he have?"
Withdrawing her gaze, Erina, feeling a bit numb, could only ask herself.
She was glad that she had disregarded the pouring rain and resolutely came to the Izakaya tonight. Otherwise, she truly wouldn't have been able to witness Zhang Fan's amazing knife skills, wouldn't have been able to see such a spectacular scene!
Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!
Just as she was secretly happy about this, Zhang Fan actually took out a chef's knife covered with steel rings and small holes.
"Eh?"
"This... what kind of chef's knife is this again?"
Seeing this, Erina's eyes instantly filled with curiosity!
