Chapter 36 Fresh Meat (Middle)

  However, it was clear that Fan Shi's thoughts did not come true, as Qin Yifan had already stood up and started speaking.

  It was still that calm voice, not loud, but everyone present could hear it. This move is simple, and anyone with a certain level of internal energy can do it. It's not that Qin Yifan deliberately showed off, it's just that if everyone cheers on, they would really have fulfilled the thoughts of the envoy.

  "Fresh meat can't be left out for too long, but the one that has just been slaughtered isn't the most delicious yet. It needs to be put aside for a while, waiting for some special flavors in the fresh meat to come out." Qin Yifan said slowly, holding the piece of fresh meat that was still emitting heat in his hand.

  As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone stopped cheering and quieted down to listen carefully. The previous scene had already made everyone feel that this trip was not in vain, and they didn't know what kind of wonderful experience Qin Yifan would bring them next. Everyone closed their mouths and waited with bated breath.

  Moreover, the things Qin Yifan said were completely unknown to them before. Although it's supposed to be a characteristic flavor of the barbarian tribes, when spoken fluently by a person from the Celestial Dynasty, and with even more depth and subtlety than those barbarians themselves, this is no longer an inedible barbarian specialty, but rather something that might spread from within the Celestial Dynasty at any time, only to be picked up by those barbarians who would then flaunt it as if they had come up with it themselves.

  Isn't this peddling Confucius in front of his face, and brandishing a big knife in front of Lord Guan? It's really hard to describe the behavior of these barbarian envoys who tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing their rice. After that last scene, no one would believe that Qin Yifan would lose in the upcoming knife skills performance, everyone came to watch with a relaxed and slightly expectant mood, where was the frustration from before?

  Speaking of being mesmerized, the most mesmerizing ones are those few apprentices. The butcher and the cook now have no other feelings except for keeping their eyes wide open, afraid to miss a single detail, without any other thoughts. Even if they were asked to immediately acknowledge Qin Yifan as their master, they would probably agree without hesitation. Their skills could reach this level only because they themselves had deep respect and persistent dedication towards it; otherwise, it would be impossible. If such people suddenly encounter someone like a god in front of them, showcasing divine skills, what other actions can they take besides remembering and staring tightly?

  "Fresh meat can't be placed directly on the chopping board, it needs to be put in a warm place to cool down slowly, so that when you eat it, you won't feel uncomfortable because the meat is too hot. Just right." Qin Yifan held the piece of meat in his hand, saying this while taking the ruler from the shelf and placing it on top of the meat in his hand.

  Those who were close enough could see that the piece of meat in Qin Yifan's hand was exactly one inch thick, the same size as the one cut by the chef from the Fan tribe earlier, and even the thickness was identical, with no difference on the ruler's scale.

  It can be confirmed that this piece of meat must have been the same one chosen by the chef, only to be cut and held in hand by Qin Yifan during the previous beef cutting. There was no cutting on the chopping board or any measurement taken, but his previous performance was simply too eye-catching, and it didn't need to be overly publicized, it was a matter of course.

  "When cutting, it can't be placed on a cold chopping board either, which will greatly reduce the freshness and be not worth it!" As he said that, Qin Yifan stretched out his hand to call over Lin Qiulü, asking her to stretch out her right hand, and then gently placed the piece of meat onto the back of her hand.

  "Hype", another big hype, Qin Yifan's doing this kind of thing, is it really going to cut meat on that girl's hand? Although everyone doesn't know whether what he said is true or false, putting it on the girl's hand is under the gaze of the public, could Qin Yifan's craftsmanship have reached such a level?

  Perhaps Qin Yifan can indeed do it, but what about that girl? Facing a knife that has been sharpened to the point of being able to cut through anything, and still not being afraid at all, without even flinching? This is not just a matter of having enough courage oneself, but also having sufficient confidence in Qin Yifan's knife skills.

  Although the previous chef of the Fan tribe was placed on a chopping board, cutting meat slices towards his own abdomen with a knife, that is to say, he would not have direct contact with the chopping board, but who can guarantee that Qin Yifan will not lose his hand when cutting? Looking at the sharpness of Qin Yifan's kitchen knife, it can dismember an ox in mid-air. I'm afraid that if she gets cut, it won't be a minor injury. Can this girl really hold on?

  The chef of the Fan tribe looked at this scene, cold sweat dripping down his head. He knew what Qin Yifan was going to do, but he still had a hint of expectation in his heart. The woman's hand was not a chopping board, the chopping board was flat, but the woman's hand had some natural curves. Moreover, the chopping board would never move, but the woman's hand could not be predicted by anyone, could he really do it?

  Although he had some expectations that Qin Yifan wouldn't be able to do it, what he was even more expecting was for Qin Yifan to succeed. If this scene were to really happen before his eyes, if he could personally witness such a shocking and skillful technique, then even if he died, he would die contentedly. The conflicting emotions made the chef sweat profusely, but he himself didn't feel anything, his eyes not blinking at all as he stared at Qin Yifan, afraid of missing something.

  But if Qin Yifan really did it, what should I do? Should I also practice such skills? Perhaps knife techniques are easy to learn, but where can I find a woman who can trust me wholeheartedly? Maybe this life will only be spent watching Qin Yifan standing in front of me like a god, filling my mind.

  Seeing Qin Yifan actively increasing the difficulty, the faces of several judges slightly revealed a relaxed expression. This was Qin Yifan himself setting a trap for himself, indeed, if such a performance could succeed, it would absolutely surpass the chefs they had selected, only, one misstep and it would be their own people slapping themselves in the face.

  No one was more eager to see Qin Yifan fail than the several apprentices. So, they all stared intently at Qin Yifan, determined that later on, they would carefully count and as long as Qin Yifan cut out a few less slices of meat, they could loudly proclaim it, who would care whether he was cutting on the back of his hand or on the chopping board?

  Moreover, as long as they are human, there will be accidents. Even if the two of them work together seamlessly, it's indeed possible to achieve that. But since accidents are called accidents, they can't be controlled by human power. Who knows, at that time, a single scream from being startled might make Qin Yifan lose face.
