Chapter 598 (1/2)

The precious bluefin tuna on the azure stone countertop attracted many tourists while Yuan Zhou’s ice blade attracted even more people that surrounded him to watch the bustling scene.

With a sound of “Ceng”, Yuan Zhou took out the first knife. It was shaped into a kitchen knife with its back wide and thick and the blade appearing thin and sharp. Beneath the sun rays of Tokyo, it glistened brightly.

“It really is a kitchen knife made of ice. How can it cut things like that?” The onlookers at the side started to discuss with each other.

“It seems this person doesn’t know that the skin of the tuna is very thick and hard to cut through. Considering the strength of the ice blade, it will break.” Somebody who knew the ropes shook his head.

“Maybe this person just took the ice blade out to show off. However, it’s indeed worth a look.” Another person sighed.

“The thing outside actually isn’t the fish skin. It’s the scales, to be exact, the scales of a tuna.” Somebody brought up a reminder.

That’s right. This layer of outer skin looked black, strong and glossy. When one touched it, it felt soft, ice-cold, fine, and smooth. It was indeed the fish skin of the tuna.

“With such an ice blade that isn’t specifically hardened , one could hardly cut the fish open.” A person said with puzzlement.

“Indeed. The ice blade can probably cut the soft and tender fish flesh open, but not the fish skin.” As the onlookers all came from more than one country, therefore, among them, there were some that understood the problem and thus couldn’t help discussing.

Most people had only heard something about the ice blade, but never seen it personally. After all, it was rare for any chef to actually use this thing to cut flesh or meat.

If it was an entire block of ice, it would naturally be very hard. But such a thin ice blade like Yuan Zhou’s could only cut the surface rather than slicing anything open.

“This is the raw fish slice.” Yuan Zhou suddenly raised his head and said to Zheng Jiawei at the side.

“Okay, Boss Yuan. I understand now.” Zheng Jiawei almost understood Yuan Zhou’s meaning instantly; therefore, he nodded his head immediately and answered.

During the gap, Zheng Jiawei slightly went up and started to explain what Yuan Zhou was going to make in Japanese and English.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese almost understood him immediately upon hearing that. They knew the raw fish slices Yuan Zhou was about to make was a kind of delicacies passed on from ancient China, but they had never seen it before.

Just like the Han Chinese Clothing that Yuan Zhou wore. There were also many Chinese people around, but only the Japanese knew what kind of clothes it was.

Zheng Jiawei didn’t explain the difference between the ancient fish slices and the current one in details, either. After all, these people would know that by themselves after Yuan Zhou made the dish and they ate it.

“Money, money, money. Zheng Jiawei, give me the money. I remember that you exchanged many JPY notes.” Wu Hai said that immediately once he saw Zheng Jiawei return to his seat.

Following Yuan Zhou’s rules had almost become the habit of Wu Hai. His first reaction was that luckily Zheng Jiawei had exchanged so many JPY notes. After all, Zheng Jiawei was a person that had an international account.

“Little Hai, how many plates do you want?” Zheng Jiawei nodded his head and then took out his wallet.

“Of course as many as the money in your wallet can pay.” Wu Hai said immodestly.

What a joke! It was a rare event for Yuan Zhou not to do his business in his restaurant. Furthermore, he didn’t say that they can’t continue eating. Of course, he must eat his fill.

“Alright.” Zheng Jiawei agreed and then brought out all JPY notes in his wallet, putting them Yuan Zhou’s drawer.

“I also have some notes. Put them all inside. You can calculate the money shortly and tell me when it’s used up.” Wu Hai took out a few JPY notes from his wallet.

Wu Hai looked at the money in the drawer contentedly and waited cooperatively for Yuan Zhou to cut open the tuna while stroking his small mustaches.

The loud discussions just now receded a bit as Yuan Zhou started to cut the fish skin and in the end, disappeared.

They watched Yuan Zhou cut open the fish scales on the belly easily from head to tail.

The cut was neither deep nor shallow. As the fish skin was originally very compact, the silvery-grayish fish body immediately came into sight. If somebody went up and observed the fish carefully, he would find that there wasn’t a scar on the fish body.

“Awesome. This cut is quick and accurate.” Wu Jun revealed a look of admiration at the side.

Yuan Zhou didn’t stay still too long before he continued.

Fast! Yuan Zhou waved the ice blade in his hand extremely quickly. Even the onlookers felt that the silver light was dancing in the air.

They couldn’t keep up.
