In the world of Shokugeki no Soma, chefs are a highly respected profession, and the public's attention to gourmet food is very high. As the princess of the gourmet giant Far Moon Group, Erina Nakiri possesses the legendary God Tongue and has an angelic, noble, and beautiful appearance. It is normal for her to have such high public attention.
Satou looked at the Tsundere's updates, which were mostly about work and rarely involved personal life.
Just now, she posted an update about her participation in a judging event.
The Tsundere was wearing her school uniform, sitting gracefully on the judging panel, as elegant and beautiful as a princess, tasting a chef's dish.
Although it had only been posted for a few minutes, there were already hundreds of comments below.
"Miss Erina is so noble and beautiful!"
"Yes, I really hope her noble tongue can taste my cooking."
"Joke! How could Miss Erina's tongue, which is so sacred, taste your cooking?"
Looking at the angle of this photo, it was clearly taken by Hisako Arato, so she should be in charge of managing this account normally.
Satou had seen Erina's phone; it contained very little, no games or music apps that typical girls would have, and even very few contacts in her address book. Besides himself, there were only members of the Nakiri family or Elite Ten members like Kobayashi Rindo.
If one only looked at her phone, the Tsundere would definitely be an impeccably well-behaved student.
Just then, Satou's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was a message from Erina Nakiri.
"The food is so bad, so boring!"
Satou was a bit speechless. In front of him, Erina Nakiri would become like a normal girl, sometimes acting spoiled or complaining.
"Miss Erina is working so diligently, it seems I also need to work hard."
Osomatsu said earnestly from the side.
Satou couldn't help but feel speechless and said, "Maybe she's secretly playing on her phone right now."
"Impossible, right? How could Miss Erina slack off?"
Osomatsu clearly didn't believe it.
Satou couldn't help but roll his eyes; the Tsundere had just sent him a message!
"She's not as perfect as you say; to be precise, her personality used to be quite bad."
Satou mumbled.
But Osomatsu looked unconvinced.
At this moment, a batch of freshly slaughtered pigs was brought in.
These pigs had already been cleaned and bled.
Seeing that there was work, the staff in the slaughterhouse all stood up, ready to begin.
"Hmm, your name is Satou, right? Let me teach you the processing procedure first."
Uncle Takeda said to Satou.
"Uh, okay."
Actually, Satou didn't need him to teach, but seeing as he offered, he just nodded.
Uncle Takeda walked up to a hanging dead pig and said, "These pigs have already been cleaned and bled. The first step is to cut off its neck bone."
He used a large pair of scissors to cut off the pig's back neck bone, then switched to a chef's knife. "The second step is to open the belly and remove the internal organs."
"The third step is to split the back along its spine."
"Then cut the tendons..."
He demonstrated each step. After a complete process, an entire pig was perfectly cut into finished products like ribs, pork belly, trotters, and pork leg meat, according to its parts.
"As expected of the person with the best knife skills here! Exquisite knife skills! Even the most difficult task of splitting the spine is incredibly precise."
Osomatsu praised from the side.
Actually, the whole process isn't difficult; the hardest part is splitting the spine, which requires precisely cutting the pig's spine into two halves. The spine isn't in a straight line, requiring constant adjustments, and most people easily cut off-center.
However, Uncle Takeda completed it in one go, with incredibly swift movements.
Satou glanced at the spine; indeed, the cut was very smooth, almost perfectly split into two halves.
"Haha, of course, I've been doing this for decades, after all."
Uncle Takeda laughed, not without a hint of pride.
Then he turned to look at Satou, "We'll handle the most difficult parts. Satou, you'll be responsible for the segmentation, right?"
"Hmm, I'll try it by myself first."
Satou said. If it was just such simple work, he wouldn't need the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash, and without using the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash to process ingredients, he would lose the meaning of coming here.
After all, he didn't know how many large livestock the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash needed to process to unlock its hidden attributes, but one hundred was the minimum. Far Moon campus simply couldn't provide such a large number of complete livestock, so he could only come to a place like this...
"Then... okay."
Uncle Takeda hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Thank you."
Satou thanked him, then retrieved his Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash.
"What a huge chef's knife!"
The people around him were all surprised when they saw it.
"Wait a minute, you want to use this knife to process it?"
Uncle Takeda frowned and said, "Such a huge chef's knife isn't suitable, is it?"
The larger the chef's knife, the harder it is to control its precision. Splitting the spine is usually done with a smaller chef's knife.
"Oh, I'm always used to using this chef's knife for processing."
Satou said.
The people around him all frowned, unconsciously associating Satou with words like frivolous and overestimating himself.
Uncle Takeda also frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. Perhaps a Far Moon student might have his own technique.
Satou moved the hanging dead pig onto the cutting table, then picked up the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash. His gaze sharpened, his body sank slightly, and then he unleashed the cooking skill, Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash!
Just as everyone was wondering, they suddenly felt as if a flash of knife light had streaked past, and no one could clearly see Satou's movements.
Only Uncle Takeda's pupils constricted, vaguely seeing that Satou seemed to have swung countless knives in that instant.
After executing the Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash, Satou returned the knife to its sheath. A slight sweat beaded on his forehead, but his breathing quickly stabilized.
"What just happened?"
"Yeah."
The people in the slaughterhouse asked, somewhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
They only felt as if a knife light had flashed, but it quickly disappeared.
Just then, the pig lying quietly on the cutting table suddenly moved slightly, and then, an incredibly neat cut appeared on its back.
The pig's body spread open on both sides, revealing its internal organs, and a large cut appeared on its neck.
The slaughterhouse was silent for a moment, then several gasps of cold air were heard.
