Under the effect of his skillful hands, he lightly peeled out all the shrimp meat. Finally, a five-meter-long, snow-white, flawless piece of shrimp meat appeared on the kitchen counter, with the shrimp vein already removed.
Satou then switched back to the Wuqu Knife and cut this section of shrimp meat into small pieces, locking in the shrimp's freshness at that very moment.
Of course, the remaining shrimp shells couldn't be wasted either. After drying, they could be used to make soup.
Satou now switched to Tanlang.
Tanlang's design was that of a traditional Chinese kitchen knife, with a wide blade, suitable for chopping hard things.
The flying shrimp's shell was very strong, comparable to metal and stone, but in front of the Seven Star Knives, which possessed the attributes of never-wearing-out and sharpness, it was as brittle as thin paper. Satou easily cut it into small pieces, eventually filling several large bags.
After processing this ingredient, Satou couldn't help but sigh in relief and wiped his sweat. This was physical labor!
While the Tsundere hadn't returned yet, Satou began preparing dinner.
This time, the main ingredient was definitely shrimp.
Satou took out a piece of shrimp meat, slicing half of it into thin pieces for raw shrimp sashimi, and cutting the other half into small pieces, coating them in batter, and deep-frying them in oil.
The main dish was fresh shrimp porridge. First, he boiled the Black Rice in water for thirty minutes, then seasoned the shrimp meat with white sugar, salt, and pepper, and added it in.
While cooking the porridge, Satou suddenly remembered the butterfly charm material. He had been so busy processing the flying shrimp that he had forgotten about it.
Satou searched around the kitchen but couldn't find it, feeling a bit of a headache.
The Tsundere's kitchen was so big; finding a single butterfly in it was not an easy task.
Just as Satou was distressed, he suddenly saw his reflection in the bright back of a kitchen knife standing on the cutting board.
On his head, there was a colorful flower blooming.
Satou was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, both amused and exasperated. He had been looking for the butterfly charm material, not expecting it to be resting in his hair.
He took the butterfly charm material from his head and placed it on his finger, then held his hand directly over the boiling pot.
Seemingly feeling the rising heat from below, the butterfly charm material couldn't help but flutter its magnificent wings a few times, and a small cluster of colorful, richly fragrant phosgene fell into the pot.
Satou nodded in satisfaction, then placed the butterfly charm material back into his hair.
"This butterfly charm material is truly a chef's good helper. It usually likes to stick to one's hair, and you can take it out to use whenever needed."
He couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door; Erina Nakiri had returned.
When she saw Satou, she immediately froze, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Satou, since when did you start wearing hair clips like a girl?"
Satou was a bit speechless and said, "This isn't a hair clip."
Before he could explain, the butterfly charm material seemed to smell the fragrance coming from the girl opposite him. It floated down from Satou's hair, fluttering gracefully, and finally landed on Erina Nakiri's hair, like a beautiful butterfly-shaped hairpin, perfectly matching Erina's noble and cool temperament.
"Oh, is this a butterfly?"
Erina Nakiri said in surprise, her brows filled with delight.
With her slender, green onion-like fingers, she took the butterfly charm material from her head and examined it in front of her violet pupils.
"What a beautiful butterfly! And it smells so good!"
She put the butterfly charm material back in her hair, then twirled around in front of Satou, her skirt fluttering, a fragrant breeze wafting, like a flower fairy.
"How is it, Satou? Do I look good?"
Her small face flushed, she asked shyly.
Satou was a bit speechless and said, "Do you think you're a flower fairy?"
