"How can this fish..." Chihiro showed surprise after she tasted the food in her mouth.
When they put the fish in their mouths, the expressions of everyone on the table instantly froze, even Shiina, who was known as an expressionless girl.
Then everyone's skin turned red, and the whole person seemed to have sublimated, filled with happiness. Cooked fish is usually soft and depending on the cooking process, the fish will be juicy if boiled or crispy, if fried, but when they bite this fish, it is full of firmness, it is full of firmness, and his teeth could clearly feel the texture of the fish.
The taste of the fish mixed with the soup exploded in their mouths. The other ingredients in the pot have been boiled for a few minutes, making the flavor of the hot pot mix into one, but when they bite the fish, the, they can feel the harmony of each ingredient in the fish makes it even more delicious.
"Hah~~"
After swallowing the fish in his mouth, Mitaka's gaze on Shishio became even stranger, wondering what kind of family was capable of cultivating such a top chef.
'He's really mysterious...'
Mitaka knew this kind of cooking skill was impossible for ordinary families or ordinary people to access. He knew that he had overestimated Shishio's ability in his heart, but he didn't expect to underestimate it because he knew that it was almost impossible for one to achieve this kind of skill with his age.
If the person cooking this dish was a middle-aged man or an old man then he would not be surprised, the problem was, Shishio was still a teenager!
Mitaka looked at the crystal-clear fish fillet in his chopsticks. Although it has long been removed from the pot, the texture of the fish is still soft and dense.
Anyone who has ever eaten hot pot fish should know that the taste of cooked fish will be worse and worse as it is cooled after being out of the pan for a period of time, but what Shishio did not.
Mitaka knew that fish had to be cut in a special way or there had to be a secret technique used on the fish before being put in a pot and this kind of knowledge was impossible to learn by most culinary schools and he knew very well, the values of the techniques, recipes, etc carried out in this hot pot could not be bought with any money.
"Oga-kun is really amazing." Mitaka smiled and somehow she liked this underclassman. He knew that the value of this hot pot could even reach tens of thousands of dollars, but Shishio was willing to share it with everyone, this kind of disposition was not comparable to ordinary people, and...
Mitaka looked at Misaki who was sipping soup next to him and could not wait to immerse her face directly into the pot. He could not help but show a happy expression, and instead, he shook his head as he looked at Sorata, who was eating silently by his side.
To be honest, Shishio did not know that he had become some kind of noble existence in Mitaka's mind, after all, learning all those abilities was beyond his control and it was rather difficult for him to cook disgusting dishes rather than make them perfect dishes.
This "Cooking Mastery" skill not only optimizes all of his cooking methods and techniques, but also automatically optimizes the quality of ingredients when he washes vegetables or cuts meat. Simply put, these skills are a bit like passive skills in video games.
Even after Shishio prepared the dish, this skill would add more colors, scents, and more, and the flavor on the dish made it impossible for him to make such an unpleasant dish that Mitaka completely misunderstood Shishio, but it was also impossible to tell Mitaka about a system. , not what Shishio planned.
"Ho! Ho! Shishio-kun, how did you make this dish! It's so delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious hot pot of fish in my entire life! What did you put in? Ho~Ho~" Misaki continued to fill her mouth with fish, and despite the heat, it was difficult for her to speak, she kept stuffing her mouth.
"It's..."
Mitaka was stunned, but he knew that Misaki did not understand the meaning of the question, but he knew that Shishio's technique must have been included in the category of secret arts in the culinary world, he said, so Misaki's words already included asking other people's affairs. secrets and family background, though, she knew that Misaki didn't mean that, she also had no brains to think about it, either, but he knew very well that the question was very rude.
After all, asking others' secrets was a very serious matter, Mitaka then looked at Misaki worriedly. Even if Shishio could forgive him, an apology was definitely inevitable, because no one could ignore this kind of behavior asking others secrets, so he looked at Shishio, hopefully, nothing big is going to happen.
Chihiro's expression fell silent, saying nothing, she was not stupid, even though she looked extremely irresponsible, it didn't mean she couldn't understand anything, either, although he wondered where his nephew learned this secret technique from and understood that the Shihio family was very rich, his family had nothing to do with the culinary business, nor was he a professional cook.
Even so, Chihiro could see the value of this skill, so now with Misaki's question, she couldn't make a decision for Shishio, so she looked to Shishio.
"..."
Shiro-san took a little fish, felt the tightness of the fish in her mouth, and glanced towards Misaki, who was acting so silly and asking rude questions, her expression became strange, and deeply admired this carefree character, who was very fond of her, and wondered why Mitaka liked this girl.
Shiro-san knew that it was impossible for Mitaka to not understand the meaning of Misaki's question based on her ability and insight, but it was all up to Shishio to solve this problem.
"Thank you for your compliment. If you are interested, you can come to cook another day. If you don't understand, I can teach you."
Shishio looked at Misaki who was happily eating her dish, and he was quite pleased with her praise because her praise was pure with no hidden meaning behind it.
"...Uh?" Mitaka, Chihiro, and Shiro-san.
What is the situation, what is it? The thoughts of the three people were all chaotic because initially, in their minds, Shishio was speechless, ignored Misaki, or maybe even mocked Misaki, or in severe cases, it might directly cause a fight in Sakurasou.
But they did not expect this result at all!
The three of them had thought of many scenarios, but never expected this development to happen, though, they had not known each other for a long time, with their understanding of Shishio, with their understanding of Shishio, they were sure that Shishio realized the importance of his cooking technique, but he shared it without hesitation.
Mitaka could not understand Shishio and what kind of thoughts he had in mind to be able to say such a thing while wondering if Shishio really did not care to share his secret with Misaki. He wonders for a moment and his expression becomes very alert, wondering if Shishio likes Misaki, who is known as an alien in the eyes of most people. If so, he needs to do something because if he doesn't do something, he knows that Misaki might be stolen from him.
Chihiro suddenly wants to see Shishio's brain and doesn't understand his decision to say such a thing, but it is his knowledge, and it has nothing to do with him or his family, either, so he didn't do anything.
However, Chihiro did not want to stop him because it was Shishio's decision and it made her like him even more. He was also very proud when he heard her answer because he did not expect his nephew to have such a temperament after he had not seen her for so many years, and the more he looked at her, the softer his gaze became.
Among the people at this table, Sayaka, Mayumi, and Ritsu had never come into contact with such a thing, so the sudden change in Chihiro's expression did not make them feel any strangeness, either, after all, among their social circles, they have never had access to this kind of knowledge, but Shiro-san knows very well and because of that, he greatly admires Shishio now.
If this question is asked of him, then the scenario will change, but it does not change how rude this question is, like when Shiro-san had just written his book, and after writing the script, it does not change, a friend suddenly asked her for a novel script, but she gave it to her friend.
Shiro-san glanced at Shishio who had started explaining how to cook the hot pot of fish to Misaki, then glanced at Sorata who was eating in silence, and shook his head.
"If you don't understand, I'll show you later."
Shishio looked at Misaki amusedly, who was still taking notes while eating fish, and clearly knew that it was impossible for this girl to recreate this hot pot of fish.
