I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 32 Chapter 033

"Where can such fresh sea bream be sold? As soon as the water comes out of Tokyo Bay, I will drive here, otherwise I would not be so alive and kicking." The fisherman said proudly.

"Indeed, such a fresh sea bream must be delicious when made into sashimi!" The bald-headed uncle looked at the big red fish, and his saliva was about to flow down.

"Unfortunately, Boss Takasaki is not here. This snapper can only be brought home and braised for my wife. It's a waste of money." The fisherman sighed, threw the fish back into the bucket, and was about to leave with it.

"Wait a minute, can this snapper be handed over to me?"

The one who spoke turned out to be her younger sister Gao Qixing, her almond eyes were wide open, and she begged the fisherman with a dignified expression.

"I have been learning knife skills with my father, decomposing fish, and making sashimi several times."

The fisherman and the bald uncle looked at each other, and the fisherman said suspiciously:

"You are so young and a girl, can you do it?"

"My sister's cooking skills are not inferior to Boss Takasaki's. Maybe my sister's knife skills are equally good. Otsuka, why don't you let others try it."

"Hasegawa, you bastard just wants to rub my fish!"

Finally, with the sincere request of Gao Qixing and the help of the bald uncle, the fisherman finally reluctantly agreed to let Gao Qixing handle it.

"Xing, can you do it? Or let Uchiha-san come?"

After Takasaki Xing brought the bucket to the front desk, Takasaki Yue whispered to his sister with a worried face.

"I admit that Xiaobailian's skill in cutting meat and vegetables is very good, but sashimi is completely different from those things. I have studied with my father for so long, and it must be no problem to handle a fish!" Takasaki Xing said unconvinced .

"But you were just helping Dad before, and you haven't had the experience of making sashimi independently, have you?"

"So what, I've already seen it so many times!"

Takasaki Xing's tone was still full of stubbornness, and she muttered in a low voice: "I won't lose to my sister."

He grabbed the snapper out of the bucket and put it on the chopping board, picking up the kitchen knife in his hand.

The front desk of the izakaya is semi-open. Seeing sashimi being made in the store, some customers gathered around and sat on the bar to watch. Like Itamae Sushi, watching the chef making sashimi is also the fun of diners.

Seeing so many people staring at her, Takasaki Xing couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and her hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

"Don't be nervous, Apricot Takasaki, think about how your father did it! You can do it too."

Takasaki Xing cheered herself up in her heart, but when things came to an end, she was still inexplicably guilty and her mind was empty.

To make matters worse, before she had gathered enough courage, the big sea bream on the chopping board suddenly struggled and jumped up, its tail slamming on Takasaki Xing's chest!

This tail directly stunned Gao Qixing, her hair and face were splashed with water and she didn't care to clean it up, her whole body stiffened like a stress reaction.

"Little girl, can you do it?"

"After waiting for so long and still not using the knife, if it doesn't work, then don't waste everyone's time!"

Tears began to well up in the corners of Takasaki Anko's eyes. Takasaki Tsuki held a towel in distress, wiped the water stains on her younger sister, and bowed and apologized to the guests:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Mr. Otsuka, we can't handle this fish now, please take it back first."

"Takasaki-san, wait a minute, let me do it!"

Naruto Uchiha finally spoke, took a step forward, and said lightly.

Looking at Naruto Uchiha, who was also tender and unfamiliar, the fisherman was full of suspicion: "Little brother, can you do it?"

"My sashimi will definitely satisfy you, the customer!"

Although Naruto Uchiha's face was flat, his tone was full of unquestionable confidence!

Before the fisherman could answer, Naruto Uchiha walked to the chopping board and scanned the neatly arranged knives at the front desk.

As expected of an izakaya that specializes in sashimi, all kinds of decomposed knives are available, and they are very well maintained, and the cold light of the knife edge is shining brightly.

Quickly going through the celebrity sashimi techniques seen on the video in his mind, Uchiha Ming picked up the snapper and smashed it on the chopping board, knocking him unconscious.

Then pick up a sharp conical knife, which is the most common and traditional single-edged kitchen knife in Japan, and quickly cut open the sea bream and wash and scrape the scales.

Afterwards, it was replaced with a more light and easy-to-use 'body unloading', and the classic 'three piece unloading' was used with ease to shave off two large pieces of fish meat along the front and back along the fish bone.

Finally, use the thin and long "Liu Jian" to cut the fish into thin slices of the same size and as thin as cicada's wings. On the prepared dinner plate, arrange them layer by layer in the shape of blooming peony flowers.

Fresh fish meat is different from frozen or refrigerated fish. It has the texture of live fish. In order to preserve this taste, the sashimi master must be decisive when cutting the knife and cut it to the end.

Although the steps seem cumbersome at first glance, Naruto Uchiha's movements are done in one go, like flowing water. The customers are still amazed by his performance, and he has already completed the sashimi.

"Sea bream sashimi, please taste it!"

Hikotaka Shijo, the forty-first-generation successor of Shijo-ryu, a famous cooking school in the island country, said: "There is a principle in Japanese cuisine, that is, its deliciousness should not exceed the original taste of the ingredients."

Another cooking researcher, Okumura Yusheng, also said: "Japanese cuisine should reflect the true flavor of the material, and try not to use firework." "Japanese cuisine is a culture that relies on kitchen knives."

Since then, in this food culture, the status of sashimi has naturally increased.

The sea bream in this season is still before the spawning period, and it is rich in fat. It is a good time to taste it. Because this is also the season of cherry blossoms, the pink sea bream is also called cherry blossom sea bream because of its color similar to cherry blossoms.

The fisherman and the bald man were a little stunned when they saw the cherry blossom-colored sashimi that was beautifully placed on the plate, with fat lines that resembled marble patterns.

Although Boss Takasaki is also good at sashimi, he is only at the level of a skilled worker, and he is still a long way from being a famous sashimi, otherwise he would not condescend to such a small shop in the North District.

But this young boy in front of him has demonstrated sword skills far surpassing Boss Takasaki, even the master chefs of the most famous sashimi shops are no more than that.

"I didn't expect the master to have such a skill. It was my fault to judge people by their appearance before, so I will not be polite!"

The fisherman picked up the chopsticks with a solemn expression, picked up a piece of fish meat that was so thin that it was transparent, and put it in his mouth. The original sweetness of the sea bream spread on his tongue a little bit, chewed gently, and the fish meat was elastic. , melts in the mouth without much effort.

tasty!

To use a cheesy metaphor, it's like feeling a live snapper bouncing from its tongue, between its teeth, and finally into its belly.

"I'll try too!"

Seeing the satisfied and intoxicated expression on the fisherman's face, the bald uncle who likes to eat sashimi also moved his index finger, and he was about to pick up the chopsticks.

The fisherman who was still immersed in the emotion of sea bream sashimi became alert all of a sudden:

"I caught this sea bream, and the whole plate of sashimi is mine. Hasegawa, you bald man, don't even try to touch it!"

Seeing the boat of friendship, because a plate of sashimi turned over, it turned over.
