Chapter 597

Apart from the metal box, Yuan Zhou also took out some foam materials, which were specifically used for heat preservation .

“Xi Xi Suo Suo” . Yuan Zhou surrounded the metal box with the foam materials carefully .

“No wonder you didn’t allow me to approach you . It’s actually the ice blade . Did you make it last night?” Wu Jun walked around the azure stone countertop and appeared rather envious .

“Um . With the water you bought for me . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“No wonder you needed so much water . So that means you didn’t sleep all night long yesterday?” Wu Jun was incapable of making the ice blade and had only heard about this thing from others . However, the complexity of the craftsmanship was known to him .

“Where’s the fish?” Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him, but asked again .

“It will be here in no time . ” Wu Jun didn’t pester him anymore . He checked the time and then answered .

“Good . ” Yuan Zhou only answered him with a single word . Then, he stood still over there and waited for the arrival of the fish .

“How is it? Are you satisfied with the surroundings here?” Wu Jun proudly gestured for Yuan Zhou to look around his surroundings .

The outer zone of the Tsukiji Market was originally the gathering place for small stores . There were many stores, the many famous ones were known to Chinese netizens .

For example, there was a store that sold beef rice in the front . By now, it would be full of tourists and natives that came to eat breakfast .

And another store that sold grilled seafood not far away .

“Not bad . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his consent .

What Wu Jun selected was a restaurant that sold seafood rice . The entrance of the restaurant was very large, but the inside was of the very narrow type inside .

It was actually an L-shaped restaurant . What was supposed to be at the entrance before was unknown, but right now, there was a 2 . 5m-long azure stone countertop . The table top made of marble was designed as a clean and tasteless porcelain chopping board .

The azure stone countertop was about as high as Yuan Zhou’s waist; therefore, it was more convenient for him to use it .

In front of the countertop was a long table that could fit four people in total and four simple chairs were placed around it .

“By the way, I haven’t asked you . What are you wearing?” Wu Jun looked at the clothes on Yuan Zhou’s body curiously .

Yuan Zhou, who didn’t forget his own restaurant even when he was out, was naturally dressed in the Han Chinese Clothing that he usually wore in his restaurant .

“This is the Han Chinese clothing . You don’t know about it? How can you call yourself a chef when you don’t even know it?” Wu Hai walked to Yuan Zhou with big strides in his slippers .

“Your suitcase didn’t look big . Yet, you actually brought so many things . ” Wu Jun just neglected Wu Hai’s words and said to Yuan Zhou while looking at him .

“I’m so hungry . I haven’t eaten a meal for two days . If this continues, I will probably have to go to see a doctor due to hunger . ” Wu Hai took a seat in front of Yuan Zhou habitually and then complained .

“We still have to wait for a while . ” Yuan Zhou said lightly .

“Hey, Long Face . The fish and other materials that you ordered will be sent here together shortly . The golden orange comes from Sembikiya and is definitely good stuff . ” Wu Jun appeared quite complacent .

This was indirectly telling Wu Hai that he made great contributions .

“Will you also cook?” Wu Hai knitted his brows and looked at Wu Jun discontentedly while looking at him .

“Of course not . I’m just responsible for all the ingredients, including the purchase of that bluefin tuna . ” The complacent manner of Wu Jun appeared more obvious and straightforward this time .

“Well, great . I specifically came here to eat dishes prepared by Boss Yuan . ” Wu Hai said proudly .

Wu Hai totally missed what Wu Jun had originally meant . He just sat down and waited to eat as if nobody was present .

On the other hand, Wu Jun was became speechless .

“Boss Yuan, tell me if you need any help . ” Zheng Jiawei said at the side .

“No need, thank you . ” Yuan Zhou shook his head .

“Actually, I can help to interpret . My Japanese is not bad and I often deal with the art exhibitions in Japan for Little Hai . ” Zheng Jiawei said with an earnest and sincere expression .

“Sorry to bother you . Please receive money for me . 800 RMB for a plate of Akami, 1200 RMB for a plate of Chutoro and 3800 RMB for a plate of Otoro . These prices are in RMB . Please convert it to JPY and receive the money . Thank you . ” This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t refuse him, but directly told him the price .

“No problem . ” Zheng Jiawei thought for a while and then nodded his head .

After Zheng Jiawei and Yuan Zhou conversed, the booth fell silent again and that formed a sharp contrast with the boisterous street at the side .

Luckily, they didn’t wait too for before the person who sent the fish arrived .

The fish was put in a foam carton filled with ice that surpassed a man’s height . Once it was opened, the intact and naked fish appeared in front of them .

Just as described by Wu Jun, it was about 2 meters long including the head and tail . There was an opening closed to its tail and was used to draw blood .

The foam carton was exactly besides Yuan Zhou’s feet . Yuan Zhou observed the fish body carefully for quite a while and knitted his brows slightly . Then, his brows unfolded again .

“I thought too much . It’s definitely not as good as those provided by the system . ” Yuan Zhou thought inwardly .

Fortunately, the matching flavourings were all very good . Wu Jun really made an effort to get these things .

“Do you need me to help carry it up?” Wu Jun asked while washing his hands under the tap at the side .

“No need . ” After he said that, Yuan Zhou put on his face mask . Then, he held the fish head with one hand and the central part of the fish with the other . After that, he lifted it strongly and directly held the entire bluefin tuna up .

“Peng” . The fish emitted an extremely faint sound upon touching the table top . Even the fish head was placed on the tabletop gently by Yuan Zhou .

“Surprisingly, he has an unexpected strength . ” Wu Jun felt he should not judge Yuan Zhou by his appearance . He appeared to have not much strength; but nevertheless, could hold up a fish about 80kg .

“Of course . Boss Yuan gets up and exercises every day . He’s not like you . Look, you have grown stout at this age . ” Wu Hai couldn’t bear the sight of Wu Jun at all .

After all, this guy followed Yuan Zhou every day and had definitely eaten a lot of delicious dishes . The hungry Wu Hai wasn’t reasonable at all .

Actually, when the big box as long as a person’s height arrived, there were already some people watching Yuan Zhou . When Yuan Zhou lifted this big fish alone, more people surrounded to watch .

“This person really is quite strong . “

“Is he going to cut the fish open now? It looks like a bluefin tuna, doesn’t it? What a rare sight .

“He’s should be making sashimi . It seems that he is a chef with great strength . “

“It’s really a bluefin tuna . Even if we don’t know how his knife skills are, it’s still worth a look . “

The crowd of people that surrounded to watch at the side spoke various kinds of languages, Japanese, English, Korean and of course, Chinese as well .

Yuan Zhou didn’t do anything special like touching the fish bones or confirming the place to slice it open . He just looked at the fish very carefully and then started to open the metal box .

The Tokyo in December wasn’t very warm . Although it wasn’t so cold as in Hokkaido, it was still quite chilly .

As soon as Yuan Zhou’s metal box was opened, a blast of white cool air burst out from inside .

“Huh? What kind of knife is that? It looks transparent . Interesting . “

“Is it the ice blade shown on TV? A knife made of ice?”

“It really looks like the ice blade . The knife handle seems to be covered with something . “

“This knife is so unusual . “

Yuan Zhou had barely taken out the knife when more and more onlookers gathered . They passed this matter on to others and thus, the crowd was increasing .

After all, the ice blade was quite rare . Most people had only heard about it, but never seen it before .

It was the human instinct to be curious and this rule applied to most places in the world . Therefore, Yuan Zhou’s booth was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people .

“The effect looks good . ” Yuan Zhou mumbled . No one really knew if he was talking about the ice blade, the fish in front of him or the onlookers that were watched the scene .

It was time to show his masterful skills .
