Chapter 491: As a Chef, Can't Even Handle Ingredients?
Originally, Hakuto didn’t want to reveal the matter of the Nine Provinces Barrier. But now, with things at this point, he had no choice but to come forward. After all, if the Nine Provinces Barrier really broke, Hakuto wouldn’t care what happened outside the Great Ming Dynasty.
So now, Hakuto wanted everyone to understand: if you don’t want to die, then get your asses moving and search for the Legendary Cooking Utensil. Find it, and you live. Don’t find it, and you can all go to hell!
With this thought, Hakuto released this news.
After releasing the news, Hakuto went home and directly turned into a slacker.
Whether the Nine Provinces Barrier broke or not, Hakuto had done his best. As for other matters, if the Nine Provinces Barrier really couldn’t be saved in the end, then Hakuto just wanted to enjoy this final peace. He didn’t want to worry about anything else.
The worst outcome was just the Nine Provinces Barrier breaking. Since he couldn’t stop it, he might as well slack off. Hakuto wouldn’t engage in unnecessary worrying. What was the use of overthinking?
Hakuto brought back several Puffer Whales and tossed them to Alice and Erina. “Now let’s see if you can handle the Puffer Whale. If even a tiny bit of the poison sac is punctured, the entire Puffer Whale will become extremely toxic. Today, I’m going to watch your show. I want to see if you can handle the Puffer Whale perfectly.”
Hearing Hakuto’s words, Alice and Erina nearly ground their teeth to dust, ‘This guy, Hakuto… damn him!’
“Who do you think you’re looking down on? It’s just a Puffer Whale. How could I not handle it? Just you wait. I’ll show you my current skill!”
Alice looked at Hakuto and glared fiercely, speaking with great displeasure. As for Erina, she was even simpler. She looked at Hakuto with contempt.
Hakuto was also somewhat speechless, ‘Weren’t these two being a bit too confident? The Puffer Whale was a whole whale concentrated down to the size of a pufferfish. The density of its muscle tissue was imaginable. And Alice and Erina, two weaklings, wanted to prepare the Puffer Whale?’
Looking at Alice and Erina’s expressions, Hakuto suddenly found it a bit amusing.
But since these two girls were so confident, he would let them give it a try. When they ran into trouble, he would just stand by and laugh heartily.
“Alright then. Give it a try now. I want to see if you really can handle the Puffer Whale.”
Hearing this, Alice and Erina puffed up with anger and glared at Hakuto. They would remember this grudge.
Today, they would thoroughly slap the face of Hakuto and show him that they were not to be trifled with.
Then, very quickly, Alice and Erina were dumbfounded. They found that they couldn’t even pierce the skin of the Puffer Whale.
‘What the hell was wrong here?’
They roared in their hearts.
Then Alice and Erina glared fiercely at Hakuto. Surely this had something to do with him. Hakuto definitely knew something and was probably laughing at them behind their backs. They would remember this grudge.
Seeing the two looking at him, Hakuto covered his mouth and turned his head away, forcing himself not to laugh out loud.
But even so, Alice and Erina couldn’t tolerate this kind of mockery. They shouted and directly pounced on Hakuto. “You bastard, die! Ahhh!”
Hakuto really didn’t want to laugh at Alice and Erina, but they were just too funny. They couldn’t even pierce the Puffer Whale’s skin, yet they had acted like they definitely had no problem, like they could do it, like they were very capable.
Hakuto didn’t even know what to say to these two girls.
“Don’t look at me like that. Even looking at me like that won’t help. Don’t you think about it? A whole whale concentrated down to this size—how firm must the meat be?”
Hakuto covered his mouth and chuckled. Alice and Erina were going crazy with anger. The Puffer Whale was right in front of them, but they were completely unable to do anything with it.
‘What to do?’
“As chefs, you can’t even handle your ingredients. Erina, Alice, it seems you’re not up to par.”
Hakuto’s words were like a knife stabbing into Alice and Erina’s hearts.
As culinary professionals, how could they not even handle their ingredients? What kind of culinary professionals were they?
Alice and Erina’s faces darkened. Although they were unhappy with Hakuto, they couldn’t refute what he said. Suddenly, Alice’s eyes turned. She looked at Hakuto with a pitiful expression.
“Haku!”
Alice knew very well that to handle the Puffer Whale, she could only ask Hakuto for help.
Erina also caught on at this moment. She looked at Hakuto, biting her lip, with an expression that said “I want your help, but I won’t ask first.”
Hakuto glanced at Alice, then smiled and took out a kitchen knife, handing it to her. Seeing that there was none for her, Erina immediately glared deathly at Hakuto. But Hakuto just smiled and said nothing.
‘If you don’t ask, I won’t give.’ That was the meaning in Hakuto’s eyes. Erina’s face puffed up like a blowfish, glaring angrily at Hakuto. But Hakuto just looked up at the sky. He wouldn’t give until Erina asked.
In the end, Erina had no choice but to compromise and submit. Although she wished she could bite Hakuto to death, if she couldn’t even handle the ingredients, where would her dignity go?
“Hakuto, I need help!”
Her tone was so dry that Hakuto raised an eyebrow. “Is that the attitude for asking for help?”
Erina immediately clenched her fists. She glared at Hakuto and said, “Are you going to give it to me or not!”
“Say something nice, and I’ll give it to you. Don’t say it, and I won’t.”
Hearing what Hakuto said, Erina nearly ground her teeth to dust. Then she looked at him dryly and said, “What do you want me to call you?”
“Of course, you have to think of that yourself. How can I say it for you!”
Erina directly pounced on Hakuto and bit him. “I’ll bite you to death, you big bastard!”
