Chapter 1795: Borrowing a knife

The main ingredient of the dish on the table was fish while the secondary ingredient was pickled pepper. The snow-white fish meat and the bright red chili contrasted with each other. Together with the rising mist, it was absolutely eye-catching. Dashi xiujie sniffed slightly and felt a wave of fragrance coming towards him. The color and fragrance were definitely not a problem.

As master Cheng had obtained Yuan Zhou’s Sichuan cuisine notes before, his Sichuan cuisine was different from the other cheap and flirtatious dishes.

However, dashi xiujie was still attracted by two other things in his mind. The first was whether he could let his senior brother demonstrate the elephant-suppressing knife skill one more time.

Speaking of which, master Cheng’s elephant-suppressing knife skill was worthy of being Yuan Zhou’s personal disciple. It was at least 30% of the essence. Naturally, dashi xiujie was envious of it.

The second was the saber …

“Then senior brother, I won’t be polite.” No matter how attracted dashi xiujie was, he also picked up the chopsticks.

Dashi xiujie used a little strength with his chopsticks and the fish skin was broken. He then picked up a piece of white and tender fish meat with a little bit of the pickled pepper soup.

As soon as it entered his mouth, the spiciness filled his mouth. However, it was not just the spiciness. The taste was layered, and the slight sweetness of the fresh fish meat could also be felt very well.

Dashi xiujie ate the first mouthful very slowly. After swallowing it, he didn’t stop eating. He continued to eat several mouthfuls. He didn’t put down his chopsticks until he had finished half of the fish head.

“Senior brother’s Sichuan cuisine is the best I’ve ever eaten, other than master.” Dashi xiujie commented.

“Hahahaha, you’re too kind, this is really too kind.” The corners of master Cheng’s mouth almost reached his ears. He didn’t even try to conceal his brimming smile.

That’s right. Whether it was dashi xiujie or master Cheng, they were the most delicious apart from Yuan Zhou. This was definitely the best evaluation.

Taking advantage of master Cheng’s happiness, dashi xiujie immediately asked,””Senior brother, what’s the saber you used before?”

“I’m just waiting for you to ask.” Although master Cheng revealed a smile that was exactly what he wanted in his heart, he was still very calm on the surface. After all, he was Yuan Zhou’s direct disciple. Not only did he inherit his cooking skills, but he also inherited 40 – 50% of Yuan Zhou’s expressionless skills.

He saw master Cheng tidying up his sleeves unhurriedly with a serious expression on his face. His eyebrows moved slightly and he seemed to have some doubts. “What’s wrong? What’s the problem with the saber?”

Dashi xiujie suppressed his anxious mood and said,””I’m asking if there’s anything special about this saber. It’s worthy of senior brother’s treatment. ”

“There’s nothing special about it. ” Master Cheng said indifferently. Then, he changed the topic,””As master’s most trusted disciple, master gave me an ice blade and a scrape blade when I became his disciple and when I finished my apprenticeship. This blade was given to me by master not long ago. It was the Blade Master used when he was an apprentice.”

As soon as he said that, master Cheng’s attitude had always been very serious. However, as soon as his voice fell, dashi xiujie couldn’t hold it anymore.

“!!”Dashi xiujie’s scorching eyes almost burst into flames.

If they had been envious before, they were now jealous and hateful. When a master gave his apprentice a knife, it meant that the master admitted that his apprentice could inherit his cooking skills.

Whether it was in China or Japan, it probably meant this.

“Congratulations, senior brother.” Dashi xiujie tried his best to calm down and then said,””Senior brother, can I take a look?”

“We’ll see, but be careful,”master Cheng said after thinking for a while. He was overjoyed that his plan had succeeded.

“Thank you, senior brother. I’ll be careful and won’t get hurt,” Dashi xiujie took a deep breath and subconsciously tidied up his clothes. Then, he opened the box carefully and picked up the spirit swimming knife.

He looked at it carefully, from the blade to the blade, and from the blade to the hilt.

Then, he felt the aura and sharpness of the saber.

“As expected of a great Grandmaster’s saber when he was an apprentice.” Dashi xiujie couldn’t help muttering to himself. Then, he immediately noticed the three words “gifted by Yuan Zhou” on the handle of the knife.

Dashi xiujie forcefully suppressed the thought of snatching the knife from master Cheng. He held the knife and didn’t want to put it down at all.

First of all, master Cheng would never sell it. Second, it was a knife given by Yuan Zhou. Talking about money was an insult to the knife.

However, Yuan Zhou gave it to … He didn’t say who he would give it to. When he thought of that, dashi xiujie had another idea.

“Senior brother, I have a presumptuous request. I hope you will agree.” Dashi xiujie said.

Master Cheng frowned.”This dashi xiujie … He’s Living a Good Life. What kind of trouble does he want to catch?”

Initially, he wanted to refuse dashi xiujie directly and didn’t even want to listen to him. However, when he thought of the previous sentence “the most delicious food besides the master”, he decided to listen to dashi xiujie for the time being. Master Cheng nodded his head and signaled dashi xiujie to speak.

“Can you lend this saber to Junior Brother for a month? I also want to feel master’s self-discipline.” Dashi xiujie wanted to borrow the knife.

Without waiting for master Cheng to refuse, dashi xiujie hurriedly added,””Senior brother, you are the disciple that master is most proud of. There is no other. Furthermore, senior brother can often listen to master’s teachings. I can ‘T. I can’t even see master a few times a year.”

Speaking up to this point, dashi xiujie let out a sigh and asked,”how much worry can you have? It was as if he had not seen the great Grandmaster. It meant that it didn’t rhyme.

The disciple he was most proud of, there was no other.

Did he even sound like a human? Of course it was! Master Cheng felt that dashi xiujie’s words were the most human-like. Therefore, the latter couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Having fulfilled his duty as a senior brother, master Cheng pretended to comfort him,””Junior Brother, you don’t have to be so polite. After all, you’ve been taught by master.”

“Senior brother is right.” Dashi xiujie said,”so, I ask for your permission, senior brother. Please lend me the saber for a month. Let me have a good feel of it.”

The main purpose of today was to let dashi xiujie know who was his master’s favorite child. Now that his purpose had been achieved and dashi xiujie’s words were also pleasant to the ear, master Cheng considered it for a while.

Perhaps he could use this big stone’s mouth to announce to the whole of Japan that he was master’s most legitimate disciple and that he was the one and only one. This was a good idea.

“Alright, just one month. You must take good care of it.” Master Cheng instructed. He was not worried that dashi xiujie would not return the knife after lending it to him, but he was worried that the knife would be damaged.

“Thank you, senior brother, for lending me your knife!” Dashi xiujie repeatedly bowed to thank him,”don’t worry, senior brother. I will definitely be fine. Even if something happens to me, my saber will also be fine!”

The two of them chatted for a while more before they left. The exchange at noon was over.

Just when master Cheng and dashi xiujie were having a fight, Yin ya was working overtime again during the lunch break on the other side. As she didn’t have time to have lunch in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, she could only wait until the afternoon to have a drink and see him again.

“Little ya, when should we go and try the side dishes? I heard that they’re really good.” Xiaochen came to visit Yin ya during the lunch break.

“What dish?” Yin ya raised her head and rubbed her temples, planning to take a rest.

Seeing that Yin ya seemed to be interested, Xiaochen walked over to her and said,”A colleague from my Department told me that there’s a new Shandong food stall in the alley behind our building. There’s a limited supply every day, and we’ll forget about it even if it’s sold out. I really want to try it.”

“You’re not going to the restaurant to eat?” As soon as Yin ya heard that it was a Shandong cuisine snack, she immediately thought of Yuan Zhou. She had just discussed about Shandong cuisine with Chairman Zhou.

“Sigh … My wallet told me to maintain the virtue of being thrifty.” Xiaochen clutched her chest, looking as if she was clutching her heart.
