Chapter 66: Knife Work
"Since Mr. Jep doesn't want to participate in the competition, how about I try the cooking skills of the three of them first." Since Zhepu is unwilling, then Louis does not plan to make it difficult for others, anyway, the sea restaurant Bharati can't run away, he will have the opportunity to ask for advice in the future, there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.
"Okay, that's without further ado."
"Let's start playing now, little brother."
Hearing this, Zhepu nodded and said, and then asked his chefs to clean up the tables and chairs in the sea restaurant Bharatine, and sorted out the open space for the four of them to compete in cooking.
"Little brother, I don't know what ingredients you brought this time? Can you show me a little bit more? Zhepu asked as he looked at the table in the sea restaurant Bharati and looked at the bag that Sauron was carrying.
"No problem, it's all unacceptable. When Mr. Zhepu saw it, don't be disgusted that I can't get good ingredients. Louis nodded and asked Zoro to hand the ingredients they had brought to Jep.
"How so? No matter how valuable it is, as long as it is an ingredient, their value is the same. Zhepu shook his head when he heard this and said, no matter what ingredients he has, they are food in his eyes, and where is the food expensive and cheap? As long as you can fill your stomach.
"Sure enough, it's the chef of the Sea Restaurant Bharati, who said something different." Louis praised when he heard this, and sure enough, he was a hungry person, and he respected food.
"Earth star, purple bark, psyllium, snakeskin, finger pepper, chandelier tomato......" Zhepu ignored Louis's compliment, looked at the plants in the bag that Louis brought and quickly read it.
"He deserves to be a top-notch chef, and he really has a wide range of knowledge." Louis laughed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that most of the plants he brought with him would be recognized by Zhep.
"As a qualified chef, it's essential to know the ingredients. Little brother. Zhepu nodded and said, then looked at the venue that had been set up, asked the chefs to bring all the ingredients up, and then handed the bag in his hand to Zoro again.
"Now that the venue has been set up, let's start the competition as soon as possible. I guess the three of them can't wait. Looking at the set up grounds, Louis said to Jepp.
"Okay, here we go. Little brother. ”
"Come over here, all three of you, and bring out the ingredients you've chosen." Zhepu nodded when he heard this, and then said to the three people who had already selected the ingredients.
"Okay, I've picked it out. This is the ingredient I prepared for my little brother, sea chili. ”
Hearing this, Paddy smiled, and immediately took out the ingredient he chose, a long red fruit.
"This is the ingredient I picked and chosen, snaketongue grass." Karne continued to speak with Paddy, pulling out a stick of grass like a snake's tongue.
"This is the ingredient I chose, the walrus' proboscis of the walrus." Seeing this, Sanji continued, taking out a plate of long strips of meat that looked like eyes.
"Yes, are you very good at picking things? Then it's up to me to pick out the stuff for you. Louis nodded and said, then took out three ingredients and handed them to the three of them.
"Dog's tail grass?"
"Moss?"
"Rose branches?"
The three of Sanji couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at the ingredients on the table, it was the first time they had seen such strange ingredients.
"How about me or me, I'm not as bad as you? One gives me a spicy sea pepper, one gives me a fishy stinking snaketongue, and one gives me a damn elephant trunk that takes a long time. ”
"I've picked three of the most ordinary and simple ingredients for the three of you, don't you even compare to me." Louis laughed at this, and then asked Sauron to bring his iron pot to prepare for cooking.
"Good pot, the little brother is really an expert."
Seeing Zoro hand the pot to Louis, Zhepu's eyes couldn't help but light up. He has been cooking for so long, but he knows a lot about pots, and as soon as Sauron took out the pot, he found that this pot was definitely not ordinary.
"Mr. Zhepu really has a vision, but I took a lot of effort to get this pot."
Louis, who was lighting the fire, couldn't help but say when he heard this, but he didn't expect Jepp to be able to see at a glance that his pot was a good pot.
"A good pot is like a good knife, as long as you use a knife, you can see the difference between a good knife and a bad knife, and I can see that a good pot is normal." Zhepu nodded and said.
"Yes, my pot is not only a good pot, but also very easy to use, not only for cooking, but also for fighting." Louis nodded and said that since he knocked out Sauron last time, he found that this pot is actually quite right at this price, not only does it cook quickly and does not stick to the pan, but it is also very easy to use for people.
"Little brother, the pot is used to cook vegetables, please don't use it elsewhere, this is a kind of disrespect for kitchen utensils." Zhepu couldn't help but remind when he heard this. Although the pot is not his own pot, out of personal perspective and respect for the chef's profession, he still hopes that the other party can use the pot as a kind of kitchen utensils, not as a weapon.
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll do my best."
"This pot feels so good to me that every time I get into a fight, I can't help but feel like I want to use it." Louis nodded when he heard the words and said, there is no way this pot is a little smooth, he is almost in love with the feeling of beating people with this pot.
"Then please hold back, little brother."
When Zhepu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, how can he use it to beat people? The kitchen knife he used was also quite handy, and he didn't use it to cut people. It's all the other party's excuse.
"I'll do my best, Mr. Jepp, you know that there are some things that I can't control." Louis nodded and said, the kitchen knife in his hand danced like a butterfly, and the walrus trunk on the cutting board was divided into thin slices like bubble film.
"Good knife work."
Zhepu, who just felt that Louis was hopeless, couldn't help but admire when he saw this, such a powerful knife worker, it seems that the little chef in front of him is a genius.
"That's natural, I said I'm a gourmet, how can I, as a gourmet, not have the skills to cook?"
Louis said as a matter of course when he heard this, thinking that this time Jepp must be impressed with him, and in the future, he will come to the sea restaurant Bharati to taste the food in the name of a gourmet, and Jep has no reason to ask him to give it to Pele, he is a gourmet, and he still has to give Pele for dinner?
"Indeed, being a good foodie does require a little bit of cooking. But judging by the way you look, your cooking skills seem to be greater than that of a gourmet. Zhepu nodded and said, then see what Louis does with the rest of the ingredients.
