Chapter 47: Kitchen knives

Zheng Ke blinked when he heard the words of Dayutang Wenxu, and the kitchen knife ...... Nozomi Hirata has finally done a good job. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taking over the box from Mrs. Wenxu of the Great Imperial Hall, Zheng Ke's heart was pounding, the competition was about to start, and the kitchen knife was delivered to him in time, and the remaining week was to familiarize himself with the new kitchen knife as soon as possible.

The other first-year students immediately gathered around, and even Kohei stood behind, looking at the knife box curiously.

Zheng Keyou was quite excited, not only because this was his first set of kitchen knives, but also because the price of this set of kitchen knives was so touching.

Zheng Ke quickly removed the plastic on the surface, and inside was a plastic-sealed dark wooden box, which was plain. Tear off the plastic seal, open the wooden box, inside is a thick sponge, in the center of the sponge, is a small black leather box carved with dark flowers, the size is not too large, about 40 cm long, 30 cm wide.

Zheng Ke rubbed his hands to calm down his excitement, and then solemnly opened the suitcase.

The chef's knife, the slice knife, the willow blade, and the three kitchen knives are placed side by side in the knife box.

Zheng Ke picked up the chef's knife and looked at it carefully.

The pattern that has been folded and forged repeatedly looks beautiful when it is attached to the blade like a wave, and the blade emits a sharp light as if it could tear through the air in the next moment. As for the handle, it is polished with fine antlers, and it is indescribably comfortable to hold in your hand. At the end of the handle, Zheng Ke's name is engraved, as well as the number of the kitchen knife.

In contrast, the slice knife is more ordinary. Large opening and closing, excellent polishing. Compared to the blade, the dark red hilt attracted Zheng Ke's attention. After careful polishing, the handle unexpectedly emits a lubricating luster, delicate and lubricated. Holding it in his hand, it was cold and heavy, and the comfortable feel made Zheng Ke almost make a sound.

"Serpentine!"

This kind of thick and solid feel can only be found in serpentine wood.

Serpentine wood has a very high density and is one of the most expensive woods in the world. I didn't expect Hirata to use this kind of wood with the best handle, but when I think about the price of this knife, all these doubts dissipate.

The last handle is a willow blade, the handle is an octagonal red sandalwood handle, the blade is slender and slender, when it is in his hand, Zheng Ke obviously feels the difference of this willow blade. The sharp knife was sharp and thin, and although the blade was narrow, it was full of cold light, and the fingers swept over the blade, and even though there was no contact, I felt a slight pain in the fingers.

500,000 yuan each, although this price is almost sky-high for Zheng Ke, he feels that these three knives are worth so much money.

"Senior, there's something down there. Ibu Saki reminded.

"Below?" Zheng Ke's gaze moved to the bottom of the box, where a smaller box still lay in the middle of the sponge.

"It can't be an instruction manual, or a note, right?" Zheng Ke said with a wry smile.

Now that the three kitchen knives have arrived, Zheng Ke is no longer ready to look at what is in the box. However, seeing the curious eyes of Megumi Tazo, Yuhime Yoshino, and even Kohei Soma, Zheng Ke had no choice but to open the box to satisfy their curiosity.

However, when the heavy small box dragged in Zheng Ke's hand, he immediately knew that the box was not the manual, because its weight was about equivalent to a piece of steel.

Wouldn't it still be a kitchen knife? No...... I must have only customized three. So...... What's in it?

With full of doubts, Zheng Ke opened the small box, and then the whole person was stunned, and the others also showed surprise, only Yishihui's face was slightly normal.

"It turned out to be a nesting knife. Issehui said.

"Nesting knives?" Zheng Ke usually only used ordinary kitchen knives, but this kind of nesting knife was the first time he had seen it.

Zheng Ke's 'kitchen knife' in his hand, at first glance, is far from a kitchen knife, and even more accurately, it is a specially modified iron plate.

The iron is about the length of a chef's knife and slightly wider than a chef's knife, and the surface is deeply carved with several graceful strips that look like kitchen knives of different sizes, overlapping each other and compacting into a thin sheet.

"You meanโ€”this is a kitchen knife?" Zheng Ke looked at Yi Shihui.

"It's not one, it's four. Yishihui took the iron piece from Zheng Ke's hand, and then skillfully disassembled the iron piece, "In the West, sometimes it is very troublesome to take so many kitchen knives, and it takes up space, so some people wonder, can these kitchen knives be embedded together, so there is this set of kitchen knives." โ€

After the dismantling of Issetshui, the nesting knife is divided into five parts, except for the outermost knife holder, from the inside to the outside, once is a paring knife, a carving knife, a chef's knife and a slicing knife, of which the paring knife is the smallest, in the innermost, the slicing knife is on the outermost, the whole is only left in an arc, like a round of crescent, as for the carving knife and the chef's knife, the blade is hollow and can be nested with each other.

"These knives are interesting. Zheng Ke picked up the chef's knife, the weight was not the same as the one just now, but the workmanship was fine and the feel was good.

This kind of kitchen knife looks very good, but it is a little awkward to use. However, considering that this is to reduce space and make it easy to carry, this combination is also good.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hirata made three knives, and he actually gave another set of knives. Looking at it this way, 1.5 million yen is really worth the money.

The others played with each other and were amazed.

"Senior, this set of knives must be expensive, right?" asked Yoshino Yuhime with a grin.

"On the one hand, the price is expensive, and on the other hand, the master of the knife is very difficult to find, but I dragged Catherine's relationship to reluctantly let the master of the knife casting give me a knife. โ€

Zheng Ke now recalls the scene when he met Hirata Wang a month ago, and can't help but sigh, that experience may not be forgotten by Zheng Ke for a long time.

"However, French kitchen knives are not the best in the world...... If it was a Japanese or German kitchen knife, it would be great. Ibu said thoughtfully.

"My knife was made by a Japanese swordsmith who lives in France. Zheng Ke explained.

"Japanese Knife Maker ......" Yi Sehui's face tightened, he has studied kitchen knives, but he has not heard of any famous Japanese knife makers in France, but looking at the workmanship of these three kitchen knives, there is clearly a master's level.

"Yes, Mr. Nozomi Hirata from Japan. Zheng Ke said.

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Hirata. "Then it's no wonder, Master Hirata was very famous in Japan before, but he suddenly disappeared, and he didn't expect to go to France." By the way, my father's kitchen knife was also made by Master Hirata, and it took a long time. Unexpectedly, you actually found Master Hirata Nobo. โ€

"I'm just lucky. โ€

Zheng Ke thought about it carefully, if he hadn't met Leon, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to know the name of Hirata Wang, speaking of which, luck does account for a large proportion.
