Chapter 413 Knife Cooking Competition
"System, where is the Kirin Black Spot Knife? Can you tell me more about it? The area around Mount Fuji is too vast. I only have seven days, so I probably won't be able to find it."

It's not that Bai Xiaobai has no confidence, the key is that the time is really too short.

The system just draws a circle, and then warmly reminds that the kitchen utensils are near Mount Fuji, without any specific clues at all.

Searching without thinking, the probability of finding kitchen utensils is lower than the probability of winning tens of millions in the lottery.

The cool electronic voice echoed in Bai Xiaobai's mind:

[Host, you are very close to where the mysterious kitchen utensils are located.Please feel it with your heart, this is an essential test for a gourmet chef. 】

"...Can you be more specific, such as how many meters or kilometers is the radius from my location?" Bai Xiaobai slowly interacted with the system, wanting to get a deeper understanding.

The region can be further shortened if the radius is known, which makes finding it more promising.

however--

[Ding dong, the secret must not be let go.Host, good night, Gulbai. 】

"..." Bai Xiaobai was stunned by the system.

After the system was silent, Bai Xiaobai connected to WiFi to play with his mobile phone.

Gao Chao has already responded to the WeChat message.

"The new book signing session of Xuanhua Bookstore in One Bullet is over, I got the book signing for you, and I will return it to you. '

In addition to the text, Gao Chao also attached a high-definition picture.

It's a photo of the first page of a new book.

In addition to the autograph of [A Bullet], the blank page also reads: For Bai Xiaobai, and the signing date.

He even wrote his own name on it, the master is quite down-to-earth.

Thank you, Gao Chao, I will return the money for buying the books to you. 'Bai Xiaobai immediately responded to the WeChat message.

I checked my watch, it wasn't too late.

Bai Xiaobai ate too much delicious food, and his stomach couldn't digest it for a while. He changed out of his yukata, put on his down jacket, and went downstairs, intending to take a walk in the nearby streets to digest.

When Bai Xiaobai went downstairs.

Sakura and her grandma are talking about themselves at the counter.

Since Bai Xiaobai ate the miraculous biscuits, his Japanese level is almost the same as that of Japanese simultaneous interpretation.

Bai Xiaobai could understand the conversation between the two of them.

There will be a special winter festival at Lake Kawaguchi the day after tomorrow, and local residents will hold a cooking knife competition in front of the Toba Shrine.

Sakura has already signed up to participate, and she wants to gain the approval of the local residents through this knife showdown in front of the shrine.

Her grandma was very worried.

It turned out that when she was helping Bai Xiaobai prepare a sashimi platter, Sakura accidentally cut her index finger, which bled a lot, and now her index finger is stiff and inflexible.

Regarding Sakura's insistence, the old lady sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Bai Xiaobai went downstairs, he looked at Sakura, but didn't say anything.

Going out alone, Bai Xiaobai walked around the neighborhood, and a man in a kimono was handing out leaflets.

"Please pay more attention." After the man bowed, he handed a flyer to Bai Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaobai saw that it was the flyer for the special winter festival.

The day after tomorrow, in front of the Toba Shrine, there will be a triennial kitchen knife competition.

No wonder Sakura is unwilling to give up even if she is injured. This wait will take three years.

According to the regulations, there is no limit to the nationality of the participants in the competition, and they can be either natives or foreigners.No gender limit, no age limit.

The content of the competition is knife skills, but there is no specific competition.

The registration fee per person is 1.5 yen, and the competition has three prizes for pine, bamboo and plum.

The winner of the Pine Prize will be awarded 5 yen
Bamboo Prize Winners, reward 10 yen + a trip to Hawaii for one person

The plum award is the highest award, rewarding 20 yen + a trip to Hawaii for two + the qualification to engrave your name into the club.

After all, there are cultural differences, and Bai Xiaobai doesn't quite know what it means to engrave his name into the society.

According to Chinese characters, is it engraved with the name and entered the shrine?

What the hell?

There are also registration contact numbers and registration addresses at the back of the leaflet.

The focus of Bai Xiaobai's visit to Japan this time is to find mysterious kitchen utensils, not to compete, so he is not very interested in this knife competition.

What's more, Japanese cuisine is different from Chinese cuisine. Even if it is a knife showdown, it must be a Japanese food item that I am not familiar with.

Bai Xiaobai put away the leaflets and returned to the Sakura Hotel.

It is already relatively late at this time.

The lights in the hotel kitchen were still on.

Bai Xiaobai approached curiously.

The door was not closed tightly.

Sakura is practicing knife skills.

She shredded radish and sliced ​​sashimi without feeling tired at all.

Sakura's knife technique is quite crisp and neat, but she didn't know if it was because of her hand injury, she was not satisfied with the cutting, and practiced repeatedly for a long time.

Again and again, never give up.

This is not cramming.

It's not that I have great enthusiasm for cooking, and it is absolutely impossible to practice repeatedly in the kitchen at such a late and cold day.

When Bai Xiaobai saw this picture, he was a little touched, a little moved.

When he was a child, Bai Xiaobai didn't like cooking at first. He always felt that cooking was just an ideal forced by his father, not what he really wanted.

Later, when I grew up, I became interested in cooking.

Without father's devilish supervision at all, Bai Xiaobai is just like Xiaoying at this moment, even very late, practicing knife skills in the kitchen, and can't stop at all.

This is the dedication and passion for cooking.

Perhaps, Sakura not only wants to fulfill her grandfather's wishes, but also has endless love for cooking.

It is too cruel for this little girl who loves cooking to let her give up this hotel.

Bai Xiaobai didn't bother Sakura, he went to the room on the second floor silently.

Lying on the bed, Bai Xiaobai made a temporary decision.

Look for mysterious kitchenware aside for now.

He chose to participate in the Toba Shrine knife competition the day after tomorrow.

If you win the competition, maybe you can promote this Sakura Hotel...

Of course, Bai Xiaobai is not a superhero to save the world, and he also has his own selfishness in participating.

If you can win the award, there will be more funds for gourmet trips, and maybe you can win glory for the country.

Anyway, lots of benefits.

And even if you don’t win an award in the end, it’s not a big deal, you can comfort yourself, I’m not good at Japanese food, the most important thing is to participate.

All in all, for good reason.

After Bai Xiaobai made up his mind to compete, he quickly fell asleep.

……

The next day, the sun was rising, and the warm light shone into the room through the Japanese windows.

Bai Xiaobai got up early.

Bai Xiaobai was not used to sleeping on the Japanese-style bed, and had a stiff neck last night.

Sakura prepared breakfast early.

Typical Japanese breakfast.

Rice, miso soup, pickled radish, and natto with green onion.

This breakfast, according to Sakura, is included with the accommodation fee.

Bai Xiaobai is not used to eating natto, it always feels sticky and has a foul smell, but everything else is good.

After a hasty breakfast, under the leadership of Sakura, Bai Xiaobai went for a walk around Lake Kawaguchi in the morning.

At noon, Bai Xiaobai mentioned to Sakura that he wanted to participate in the knife competition at Toba Shrine.
