Chapter 34: The Knife That Kills Fish
Half an hour later, the trio returned to shore on the return sightseeing boat 'Hope'.
Although there are still plans to go to Mount Arisu and Showa Shinzan today, it has already taken a morning to ride and sightseeing Lake Toya, and the time has come to noon before you know it.
"Kiyosuke, I'm hungry."
Nagai touched his cooing stomach and looked at Kiyosuke on the side, he only ate a little this morning, Nakajima was so happy to take pictures just now, and when he returned to the shore, he remembered that he was hungry.
Kiyosuke smiled slightly, looked at Miwa on the other side and asked, "Senior sister, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”
After a few days of traveling, the relationship between the two has eased a lot, at least better than it seemed when they were in Tokyo.
"Well, I'll think about it." Miwa pondered for a while, tilting her head to look at Seisuke, "Do you want to eat ramen, Junior-kun?" ”
"Okay~" Nagai cheered, and when the senior sister spoke, it meant that lunch was confirmed.
"You guy." Kiyosuke looked at Nagai helplessly, smiled slightly and walked in front of the two, "Let's go, let's go eat ramen." ”
Nagai took photos while walking, and the three of them took a lot of photos on the greenway and the shore halfway through, which can be regarded as a witness to the trip.
As a spring resort, Lake Toya has a much better place to eat than many small Japanese towns.
After more than half an hour, Kiyosuke found a ramen restaurant called 'Hokkaido の味', the storefront of the store is not large, the overall decoration is yellow-white, and the curtain at the door is also printed with kanji similar to oracle bone inscriptions, but Kiyosuke does not recognize it.
After opening the curtain and entering the hall, Kiyosuke noticed that the atmosphere of this small shop seemed to be a little strange, and they didn't hear the word 'welcome' when they entered, and there was no waiter to greet the three of them.
"Kiyosuke, I think this shop seems weird." Nagai whispered after Kiyosuke.
Seisuke also thought it was a little strange, but he came here and there were a lot of customers in the store, and it seemed that business was not bad.
This shop has a similar layout to the small shop in Sapporo, and it is also a hollow-shaped table that encloses the kitchen in the center, but it is already full, so the three of them sit at a small table next to it.
Although there is no one to entertain them, there are menus and pencils on the table, and it seems that the guests themselves mark the dishes they order and bring them to the chef.
After the two of them finished ordering the ramen they wanted to eat, Kiyosuke picked up a pencil and circled a ramen and some side dishes on the menu, ready to get up and hand the menu to the chef.
"I'm sorry." Kiyosuke walked over to the dining table and shouted.
The woman next to the chef stepped forward, took the menu from Kiyosuke with a slight smile and said, "The guest will sit down for a while." ”
Kiyosuke nodded and was about to turn back to his seat, but was caught by the man in the back kitchen in the afterglow.
The fish, which is more than half a meter long, lies quietly on the board, while the man handling the fish holds a strange dinner knife in his hand and slices the large fish with one hand.
It's called a dinner knife because the man was using it to handle the fish, but Kiyosuke had already recognized the true identity of the knife - it was a wakicha.
Traditionally, samurai would carry two swords, one for combat and the other for men, which was used to cut fish.
The length of the blade ranges from 30cm to 60cm, but the man's hand is more like a large dagger than a knife.
Although he was cutting fish on the board, there was no knocking sound, and each of the man's knives stayed just right at the last moment of the chopping board.
Although it may not seem that the fish has been completely cut off, the fibers of the fish have been completely cut off, and if you pick it up from the board, you will find that each slice of fish is almost exactly the same thickness
"Good knife technique." Kiyosuke's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire.
Hokkaido also has some confidence to call itself the holy land of kendo, and Kiyosuke didn't expect to meet such a strong man in such a little-known ramen restaurant.
Although he can also do this level, the man didn't use his extraordinary strength at all just now, and he can do this step with only the muscles of his body, which shows that his basic skills must be extremely solid.
The man turned his head to look at Kiyosuke and was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be a teenager who made a sound.
Seisuke smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and then returned to the table of the three and sat down, with a hint of admiration on his face that had not yet dissipated.
"The chef in this store is not simple, and I'm afraid the strength is not below me."
Nagai curiously turned his head to look at the back kitchen, but was blocked by the guests, and could only vaguely see a middle-aged man with vicissitudes next to the pillar.
"Is it really that strong, you can't be mistaken." Nagai said suspiciously.
Miwa sat next to Kiyosuke and drank a sip of water without speaking, but her eyes were also on Kiyosuke, wanting to hear how he explained.
"His knives are not only fast and steady, but most importantly, each knife seems to be copied, perfectly controlling the spacing of each knife."
Seisuke shook his head, this kind of body control is simply perverted, after all, people can make mistakes, how can every knife be exactly the same.
"It's not so much that he's killing fish, it's better that he's Ling Chi." Kiyosuke thought about it and found that Ling Chi seemed to be the most vivid.
Ling Chi can be called the most perverted and cruel kind of death penalty, which is commonly known as a thousand knives, a total of 3357 knives, and the target will not be killed until the last knife.
According to the chef's knife method just now, if it is placed on a person, I am afraid that the number of knives will be doubled again.
Nagai shuddered, he didn't expect that eating a fish would be so terrifying as Seisuke said.
Not for a while.
"Guest, your meal."
The woman walked out of the kitchen with a tray and placed the ramen on the table for three with a smile.
"I'm moving." The three of them clasped their hands together and shouted in unison.
After the ceremony, Nagai couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and start eating, he was hungry all morning, and his stomach was growling all morning.
"Guest, this is our new dish, we will give you a free taste." The woman smiled and brought a small plate of sashimi to Kiyosuke's table.
Kiyosuke was stunned, turned his head to look at the back kitchen, and just happened to look at him, the man raised his jaw slightly, indicating that this was given to the three of them for free to taste.
Although he didn't know Kiyosuke, Kiyosuke could see his sword skills just now, and he was obviously not an ordinary person.
Kiyosuke smiled slightly and nodded his head in thanks.
Half an hour later, the three of them had already settled their lunch and were ready to leave for the afternoon, where they would go to two other attractions.
After Kiyosuke finished paying, Nagai and the others were already waiting for him outside the store.
"It's rude." Kiyosuke nodded slightly, took the change the woman was looking for, turned around and prepared to open the curtain and walk out of the shop.
"Bell bell~~" The wind chimes ringing by the door curtain.
Kiyosuke was stunned, but he didn't expect that it was still an acquaintance.
