Volume 1 What about me crossing you? Chapter 39: Rejection

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms must think of Mt. Fuji, Mr. Seiichiro's "Spring Colorful Rice Paper Scroll" contains a long spring, so what kind of artistic conception should be carried by the cherry blossom-themed cuisine? Gu Bai needed to think about it carefully.

"I'm back, Gu Bai!" Kohei Chuangzhen came out of the kitchen at this time and saw Gu Bai at the front desk.

"Well, Chuangzhen, do you need help?" Gu Bai asked.

"Not for the time being, Dad and I are busy coming over, but do you want to come in and have a look?" Xingping Chuangzhen finished serving the food and greeted Gu Bai when he came back.

"Oh, okay." Gu Bai still doesn't have a clue about 'Sakura Shrimp' and 'Cooking Rice', so it's better to put it down for the time being, and communicate with Mr. Seiichiro and Chuangzhen.

In this way, the two went into the kitchen together.

"Excuse me, Mr. Seiichiro," Gu Bai said.

"It's okay Gu Bai, I'm back so soon." Seiichiro replied.

"Well, Mr. Seiichiro, how do you express the chef's heart in the cuisine?" Gu Bai didn't know if Chuangzhen knew the existence of the kitchen heart, so he had to ask euphemistically.

"Let's put it this way, let's use the writing essay to lift chestnuts," Seiichiro said, while cooking the food in the hands of the cook, "How do you write an article that is deeply emotional?" ”

"This... I think first of all, there should be something I want to describe or an argument to discuss," Gu Bai said, and after finishing speaking, he seemed to understand a little, and continued, "When it comes to cooking, it should be the main body and ingredients of the cuisine!" ”

"Yes, go on" Seiichiro saw that Gu Bai already had an idea, and said encouragingly.

"Then there is the format or genre of the article," Gu Bai continued, "Put it in the cuisine, it should be a cooking technique. ”

"The last thing is the most important thing, feelings" Seiichiro nodded.

Speaking of feelings, Gu Bai suddenly froze, because the kitchen heart is a feeling from the heart, it is not like writing an article, you can first determine the feelings or thoughts to write, of course, it does not mean that the article must be like this, many times if it is not written for the sake of writing, it will be more beautiful if it is written with feelings.

"I seem to understand something," Gu Bai thought about it, and suddenly felt a very crucial thought slip through his mind... But when I think about it carefully, that kind of inspiration, it's hard to say it exactly, so I have to scratch my head in embarrassment, looking like Seiichiro "I'm sorry.. Mr. Seiichiro, I don't know again."

"What, Gu Bai, I listened to it very well just now, I thought it was to the point, and you suddenly said that you didn't know" Kohei Chuangzhen was cooking the next dish on the order, while listening to the communication between his father and Gu Bai, what can he learn from it... I didn't expect to learn a black line.

"Inspiration is something that only happens by chance," Seiichiro said.

"That's right, inspiration! When inspiration strikes, write down an article... An article that has been recited through the ages" Gu Bai said, his eyes lit up.

"Isn't this normal" Kohei Chuangzhen looked at Gu Bai with a fuss on his face, and couldn't help but shake his head, it can't be crazy.

"Chuangzhen, let me ask you, can food be written in the article?" Gu Bai slowly lived his own train of thought and sorted out the language.

"Okay... A lot of articles write about food, such as those gourmets, don't they often say what kind of food, how delicious it is, and I think of it when I was a child, and Brabra's "Kohei Sou really said strangely."

"So the other way around, why not? Why can't I include articles in my cuisine? Gu Bai asked Chuangzhen with a wicked smile

"Contains an article in the cuisine? What do you mean? "Kohei Sojin, this will be a real feeling, and I went around "What are you talking about, don't play dumb riddles, I'm a little blind"

"Hmm... Grandpa just asked me to make a dish, the title is 'cherry blossom shrimp' and cooking rice" Gu Bai said, "It's very general to say this, I think about integrating the artistic conception of the article into the cuisine, please try it with Mr. Seiichiro, and you will understand."

"'Sakura shrimp' and 'boiled rice', are they 'sakura shrimp and wild mushroom cooked'?" Seiichiro asked.

"How does Mr. Seiichiro know?" Gu Bai was very strange.

"This dish is a school girl's dish, and I remember it more clearly because, you know that the cherry blossoms bloom from late March to early April, and it's the time for Hanami, right?" Seiichiro said

"Yes, it's time to enjoy the cherry blossoms in the spring." Gu Bai said.

"But the Hanami cuisine she made is like autumn," Seiichiro shook his head, "The ingredients of spring, but they represent autumn in every aspect of the color, flavor, and flavor, and that's what impresses me."

Xingping Chuangzhen and Gu Bai next to him were a little silent, are there all aspects of color, fragrance, and taste...

"She was the fourth seat when I was in school!" Seiichiro said, "So Gu Bai, I'm also very interested in your cuisine, compared to her, what kind of 'Sakura Shrimp and Wild Mushroom Cooked' would you make?" ”

Is it compared to the fourth seat of the far moon... No, that's because Mr. Seiichiro is in school, and Mr. Seiichiro's implication is that he is hiding the seat after leaving the school, which is higher than the fourth seat... I didn't expect this dish to have such a story, Gu Bai thought, looked at Seiichiro and said, "I'll do better!" ”

"Then I can't wait to taste it," Kohei Sokuma thought and began to be tempted, "Do you want to make lunch?" ”。

“… I have something to do in the afternoon, I want to forge kitchen knives," Gu Bai reminded.

"But you're going back in the evening, aren't you?" Kohei Chuangzhen thought about it and felt that it was a bit regrettable.

"Yes, I'm going back to pack my things," Gu Bai replied truthfully.

"By the way, Gu Bai, I contacted Nagi thistle, he said that you take the plane that takes off from Narita International Airport at 8 o'clock in the morning to New York, he has already bought the air ticket, and the electronic ticket has been passed to the teacher on my mobile phone, you should also buy a mobile phone, and it is more convenient to contact you when you go abroad." Seiichiro said.

"Ah, I'm leaving so soon, but I want to eat 'Sakura Shrimp and Wild Mushroom Cooking Rice', and Gu Bai will treat it as a parting dish, right?" The corners of Kohei Soma's mouth almost drooled, and the 'West Lake Vinegar Fish' that day made me intoxicated, this dish sounded very feeling, how could I miss it.

"Then you should go to buy kitchen knives now, come back early, and have lunch before you can catch the train" Seiichiro said, "Go ahead, Sojin, there are not many people in the store, so you can come here." ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Kohei Soma said, putting the dishes in the pot on the plate, and my "Kohei Steak Rice Bowl is also ready!" Let's take it", said Chuangzhen and went out to the kitchen to deliver food.

"Mr. Seiichiro, I would like to ask, who is the second seat I just mentioned?" Gu Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, I don't remember the name," Seiichiro said. Gu Bai almost wanted to hit his head on the board, saying it so bluntly, is it really a big husband...

"Let's go," Seiichiro also felt a little embarrassed.

"Farewell" Gu Bai patted his face with both hands and walked out, and after simply packing up, the three of them set off together.

"Grandpa, is that blacksmith an old acquaintance?" The three of them got off the tram, Gu Bai asked.

"Not really, but he's one of the best knife forging masters in Japan, and there are a lot of people in Enzuki who want to find him to forge knives," the old man said.

"Ah, if it's so famous, wouldn't it be very expensive to forge a knife" Gu Bai was a little embarrassed, guessing that a famous master forging a knife, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to get down without hundreds of thousands of yen...

"It's very expensive, but you two, he won't make a move, he's just looking for his apprentice to forge it." The old man continued.

"Oh... It's also "Gu Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes, put aside the kitchen knife in his previous room, others were desperate.. Ahem, I didn't expect the tiger to fall into Pingyang...

"If you enter the Ten Masters in Yuanyue, then you may meet him at the 'Moon Festival', and if you can make a dish that satisfies him, maybe he will have the opportunity to forge a set of knives himself, but the dish he likes must contain the extreme intention of knife work, understand?" The old man said as he thought about it.

"The extreme intention of the knife worker?" Kohei asked.

"There are three kinds of knife work, 'fast', 'accurate' and 'skillful', each of which has the state of turning decay into magic, but I have never seen it in my life" The old man said with some regret.

"Did anyone do that?" Kohei Soma asked.

"Absolutely!" As he spoke, the old man looked at Gu Bai.

This flattered Gu Bai, his knife skills can indeed stand the test, but the so-called three extreme intentions have never been heard.

"A chef in Huaxia once showed a miraculous level of skill in the the-blue competition," the old man touched Gu Bai's head and said, "Chef of Huaxia, Gu Bai, you must go and see it one day, I have to admit that they are the most advanced group of explorers on the road of culinary exploration." ”

"You're Harada-sensei, aren't you?" The three of them talked all the way, and they didn't pay attention to the place, and a young man in his 20s greeted him at the door.

"Ah, yes, hello." The old man came back to his senses and looked up.

"Hello, the master has not been forging knives in the shop for a long time, I am a disciple of the teacher, and the teacher instructed me to have a distinguished guest this afternoon" The young man politely led the three of them to the room and sat down.

"Well, he already told me that I came this time for these two children." The old man nodded and said.

"Well, I see, what kind of knives do the two little chefs want?" The young man asked in a kind tone.

"I just want a normal Santoku sword," Kohei said.

"Okay, no problem, what about you?" The young man looked at Gu Bai with a smile.

It was Gu Bai's expectation that the Santoku knife was invented by the people of the island country, and the Japanese name is "Santoku bouchou", which literally means "three virtues". There are two interpretations of this, some people think that this is to say that this knife can be used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables; Some people think that it is because it is very good at shredding, dicing, and slicing, but no matter which interpretation it is, it shows one thing, that is, this knife is very versatile.

As for his own words, of course, it is still a common Chinese civil and martial arts knife. Gu Bai replied, "I need a Chinese-style civil and martial arts sword."

After hearing this, the young man's originally warm face suddenly became gloomy, and he simply refused, "I'm sorry, I don't build a Chinese-style knife!" ”
