Erina Nakiri walked in, and as soon as she entered, she smelled a strong scent of blood, causing her delicate brows to furrow slightly.
Having grown up in a privileged family since childhood, it was her first time in such a dirty environment.
If it had been before, she would have disdainfully turned and left, but thinking that Satou was also in this environment, she hesitated for a moment and decided to stay.
"Are you Teacher Satou's friend? Please sit here."
Osomatsu diligently moved a chair over and said with a smile.
"Eh? Teacher?"
Erina Nakiri was stunned for a moment, then looked at Satou amusedly, "Why does this child call you teacher?"
"Uh, I taught him some basic knife skills, and then he started calling me teacher."
Satou spread his hands, helplessly.
Erina Nakiri secretly found it amusing; Satou seemed to be only a year or two older than him, right?
However, because of this address, she felt a trace of closeness to Osomatsu.
Because in her heart, since Satou was his teacher, she naturally should be the teacher's wife.
"Hmm, your knife skills are quite solid. Your hand is very steady, and your knife is very accurate."
Erina Nakiri observed Osomatsu cutting ribs for a while and couldn't help but say.
"Really?"
Osomatsu seemed very happy. "This was all taught to me by Teacher Satou. My dream is to get into Far Moon next year."
"Hmm, Far Moon, huh?"
A faint smile appeared on Erina Nakiri's lips.
Because she had pulled her collar high and her hat brim low, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, Osomatsu didn't recognize that this was his idol, God Tongue Erina Nakiri.
"When cutting beef, because the meat is rougher and tougher than pork, you should cut along the grain, with the knife perpendicular to the grain at a ninety-degree angle. This way, not only will the appearance be better, but it will also be easier to cook and have a better taste."
At this moment, Erina Nakiri spoke up to remind him.
"Ah? Thank you."
Osomatsu was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked her.
"You're welcome."
Erina Nakiri smiled faintly. If it were normally, she wouldn't even bother to look at such a commoner and novice chef, believing that such a person was not worthy of being a chef. However, since he called Satou 'teacher,' then as the teacher's wife, she naturally had the responsibility to guide him.
Osomatsu found that when he cut beef using the method Erina Nakiri described, it was indeed much smoother, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You're amazing! Are you also a student of Far Moon, big sister?"
"Hmm, you could say so."
Erina Nakiri nodded.
As soon as Satou put down his kitchen knife, Erina Nakiri immediately took out a towel, ran over, helped him wipe his sweat, and asked, "How is it? Do you want to rest for a while? Drink some water?"
Then she took out a bottle of drink she carried with her.
"Sure."
Satou nodded, but his hands were very dirty, so Erina Nakiri fed him the drink.
This bottle must have been used by the Tsundere herself for drinking, so when he drank from it, there was a fragrant smell on the rim.
After feeding Satou water, Erina Nakiri sat back down.
But after a short while, she leaned over again with concern and asked, "How is it? Do you want some water? Or wipe your sweat?"
Satou gave her a speechless look.
The others couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Haha, if I had such a helper, my work efficiency would definitely increase greatly!"
Someone said with a laugh, teasing.
"You can forget about it. How could such a beautiful girl like you?"
Another person scoffed.
Although Erina Nakiri was being mysterious and her face couldn't be clearly seen, her graceful figure and clear, delicate voice still revealed that she should be a very sweet girl.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she whispered, "I was afraid you'd be tired."
Satou was somewhat exasperated. He felt that she was too idle, so he said, "Don't disturb my work."
"Oh."
Erina Nakiri reluctantly sat back down.
But after a short while, she ran back to Satou's side, "Do you want water? Or should you rest first?"
Satou rolled his eyes and said, "I say, you're so annoying, you're disturbing me!"
Erina Nakiri felt a little wronged and muttered, "I'm afraid you'll be tired."
The Tsundere stayed there for a total of three hours. During this time, she constantly came over to help Satou wipe his sweat, ask him if he wanted water, or sit down and rest, which annoyed Satou immensely.
The others also found it amusing.
"Well, I'll be leaving now. Hisako doesn't know I came here, so she must be worried..."
Erina Nakiri saw that it was almost time and prepared to leave.
"Are you really leaving?"
Seeing that the Tsundere was finally willing to leave, Satou was overjoyed. With that guy around, his efficiency had dropped quite a bit.
It was the first time he found that guy so annoying.
Hearing his words, Erina Nakiri was so angry that she couldn't help but step on his foot.
She was so gentle and considerate; countless people envied her, yet this guy actually disliked her!
"But Erina, you didn't sneak out, did you?"
Satou looked at her suspiciously.
Erina Nakiri, whose thoughts had been exposed, immediately blushed. Hisako had indeed strongly opposed her coming to such a place.
Looking at the Tsundere's furtive departing figure, Satou shook his head. Finally, he could process the ingredients with peace of mind!
As it was almost time to get off work, Satou finally heard the long-awaited sound.
Because there was more than one part on an animal, accumulating ingredients was much faster than with the Jun Knife.
"Host has processed over one hundred ingredients using the Seven Star Knives' Goko, unlocking a hidden attribute.
Attribute description: Ingredients processed with the Seven Star Knives' Goko will have their freshness locked for twenty-four hours."
"A good attribute."
Satou's eyes lit up. This was also a very practical and powerful effect. At the moment an ingredient was slaughtered, its freshness was undoubtedly at its peak. After that, it would gradually decrease over time. Even if it was delivered to the kitchen in the shortest possible time, there would still be varying degrees of freshness loss.
However, if processed with the Goko Knife, the freshness would be locked at its freshest moment for twenty-four hours.
Moreover, this knife was a perfect match for Jun. Ingredients processed with Jun would improve the meat quality, and Goko would then lock this effect for twenty-four hours.
"Host has successfully unlocked the hidden attributes of three Seven Star Knives, receiving one gourmet gift package."
The System said.
Satou nodded. Since the task was completed, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.
Yusuke was a traditional Chinese kitchen knife, widely used, and since he only had four Seven Star Knives at the moment, there was no need to rush to unlock it; he could accumulate it slowly.
