31 Senzaemon’S Doubt
“After you left, I went to taste the dishes made by those children.”
“In my opinion, that taste can definitely be called qualified.”
“There are seven people in total, and you gave them all unqualified evaluations!”
“So, Erina, I want to hear your explanation.”
“As the chief examiner, why did you make such an unfair judgment?”
Seeing Senzaemon’s eyes, watching himself,
Erina’s heart immediately rectified:
“Grandpa…but in my eyes!”
“Those people’s cooking is simply not up to standard!”
“I don’t even have a solid grasp of the basic skills…”
“This kind of person is not qualified to come to our school to study…”
Before Erina could finish her sentence,
Senzaemon interrupted her in a deep voice:
“Erina, don’t change the subject now.”
“I’ve said it just now. Judging from the taste alone, the cooking of these few people is definitely qualified.”
“Even, the cooking tastes made by a few people can be regarded as outstanding even among first-year freshmen.”
“Are you deliberately increasing the difficulty of review?”
“I also noticed your state in the exam room today.”
“I clearly feel that you are deliberately targeting these people.”
“The Elite Ten Council has entrusted such an important task to you, I think it should be out of trust!”
“I need you to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter.”
“………”
Seeing Senzaemon’s solemn eyes,
Erina was silent for a moment.
After a long time, she bit Bo Feng tightly and said:
“I think these people are cheating!”
“That’s why I will target them!”
Having said that, Erina hurriedly raised her head to look at Grandpa and defended:
“But, Grandpa!”
“I really don’t think I made an unfair judgment!”
“Those people, the real cooking level, is indeed unqualified in my eyes!”
“………”
“Do you think these people are cheating?”
Senzaemon frowned slightly:
“I watched the whole thing live and I didn’t find any cheating.”
“You said that the cooking level of these people is not up to the standard in your eyes, but how do you plan to explain the taste of the dishes?”
“Let’s not talk about other aspects, just for this taste, they have already reached the admission standard.”
no solution anymore,
In the face of grandfather’s question,
Erina can only choose to tell the truth at this moment,
After she took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality,
Looking at Senzaemon, he slowly said:
“grandfather!”
“Actually, the reason why the food tastes delicious has nothing to do with their cooking skills.”
“All the credit for this is due to their kitchen knives?”
“Erina, you mean, they cook delicious food, all because of the kitchen knife?”
“What does it mean?”
Senzaemon was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing Grandpa’s doubtful eyes, Erina told him about the “Eternal Spirit Sword”.
“………”
After listening to Erina’s description,
Senzaemon fell into silence.
I don’t know how long it has been,
He just said to himself:
“A magical kitchen knife that can enhance the deliciousness of ingredients?”
“In this world, there is such an incredible thing?”
Having said this, Senzaemon suddenly raised his head and looked at Erina:
“Erina, are you sure this is true?”
“If you didn’t exaggerate on purpose, then, I’d like to know, how did you know about it?”
“Could it be, have you seen the magic of this knife?”
Erina didn’t really want to tell her grandpa about her feud with Chen Fei.
Therefore, she passed this grievance directly.
“Grandpa, I received a commission a few days ago!”
“In that restaurant, I saw the power of this knife.”
“Although it makes people feel incredible, this knife does have amazing effects that are unimaginable.”
“We, Tōtsuki Gakuen, are the cradle of chefs.”
“What this academy needs is someone who is truly gifted.”
“The reason why I gave these people unqualified is indeed because they are all cooking with the help of external forces.”
“This kind of person, Tōtsuki doesn’t need at all!”
“So Grandpa, I think the judgment I gave is appropriate!”
“………”
The thing about the “Eternal Sword” really brought a great impact to Senzaemon.
He had no idea that there was such a miraculous thing in this world.
However, from Erina’s eyes that looked wrong, Senzaemon sensitively judged,
Erina, she didn’t tell herself everything.
That said, things may not be that simple at all.
How did this magical knife appear?
Who made it?
Are special effects permanent?
Or, what other effects do these kitchen utensils have?
Also, why did his granddaughter’s attitude change sharply after seeing the kitchen knives of those people?
These should all be questions that need to be explored.
However, right now,
Senzaemon held back, he had no choice to pursue Erina any further.
Investigate this matter first, and judge everything by yourself.
Thinking of this, Senzaemon picked up the cutlery again:
“Let’s eat first!”
“We will discuss this matter later.”
“Yes, Grandpa!”
The grandfather and grandson finished their dinner quietly.
Then, the old man will go to work in his own office.
About eight o’clock in the evening,
Hisako came to Senzaemon’s office.
“Master Chief!”
After a respectful greeting, Senzaemon looked up at Hisako,
The next second, he smiled and waved:
“Hisako, come and sit here!”
“I was called to you so late because I wanted to ask you something.”
After Hisako sat down on the sofa, he asked with some doubts:
“Master Chief, what do you want to ask me?”
Senzaemon looked at Hisako and said:
“You’ve always been by Erina’s side!”
“I think you should know more or less about her.”
“What I want to ask you now is about the “Eternal Spirit Sword”!”
“Hisako, can you tell me?”
“How much do you know about the “Yongling Sword”!”*
