Chapter 49 Oh My God
Ebony entered the sushi bar and told the hostess that she came here to challenge.
The hostess burst out laughing.
Noticing her impoliteness, the hostess quickly said, "Okay."
She pointed to the top stage and said, "That is the ring. Our boss is not here, but we will synchronously air his video that he sliced the salmon. You should slice a salmon weighed the same as our boss' and whoever spends less time wins."
Ebony raised her eyebrows. "It's so unfair. The video may have been edited, or he may have recorded for many times and choose the shortest one. It is unfair to the challengers."
The hostess said, "Don't worry. This video was recorded when our boss participated in the global sushi competition. It has never been edited. If you had any doubt, you could check the full video online."
In fact, the so-called challenge was just a small game to attract diners. The prize for the winner was just a free meal of sushi. The hostess gently explained to Ebony. In her tone, she obviously didn't take this "challenge" seriously.
The knife skills of a world-class sushi chef.
Could it be challenged by ordinary people?
Just for fun.
The hostess' eyes glinted with sneer. "Of course."
"Okay." Ebony said. She took off her bag and handed it to Lloyd.
Lloyd was stunned but he still stretched out to take it. He asked worriedly, "You can make salmon?"
Ebony answered justly, "Of course not. I don't like eating raw meat."
Lloyd was speechless.
Ebony smiled. "Although I can't make salmon, I can make Boiled Fish Fillets. They're about the same."
Lloyd was in silence.
Guided by the staff, Ebony entered the ring. The diners who were dining below suddenly looked at her.
The manager of the sushi bar acted as the host and used a microphone to say that someone was going to challenge their boss. The diners clapped and some even cheered.
Ebony smiled and rolled up her sleeves.
The host asked a staff to play their boss' video on a large screen next to them. Its duration was two minutes. When the video was finished, the host asked Ebony with a smile, "Did you get it?"
Ebony nodded: "Yes, slice the salmon just like him. Okay."
The host smiled and shook his head. Then he asked a staff to bring a salmon.
The host was ready to replay the video. Then he started the timer and said, "Go!"
The person in the video and Ebony started at the same time.
Ebony's originally sloppy expression changed abruptly with that "go". She pressed the salmon's body with her left hand and held a long knife in her right hand. She cut the salmon in half directly from the middle.
Ebony slid her thumb to hold half of the salmon. She used the tip of the knife to make a slit. In a flash, she cut a thin fillet.
Ebony twisted her wrist to throw the fillet onto a nearby plate.
Then she continued to cut the second fillet.
There were two screens in the ring.
While the sushi master's video was played on one screen, that Ebony was slicing the salmon was broadcast live on the other one.
At first the audience below just looked on for fun. But after a while they became serious and took out their telephones to take pictures of these two screens.
The cameraman of Amazing Tour couldn't wait to rush up and shot at Ebony's hands from all directions.
Lloyd stood under the ring with one of his hands in his coat pock and the other holding Ebony's bag. He looked at Ebony. She was calm and nimbly sliced the salmon. The long knife in her hand was used skillfully. Lloyd's gray eyes darkened.
After 1 minute and 45 seconds, Ebony put down the knife and smilingly picked up a plate of salmon fillets.
The stunned host immediately stopped the timer. The number of 1 minute and 45 seconds was projected on the screen.
On the other screen, the sushi master was working on the final procedure and 10 seconds later he finished too.
The video ended.
It was silent in the sushi bar.
Those who came to this sushi bar knew well of it and they also knew that its owner was an award-winning and foremost sushi master.
But now this girl defeated the sushi master?
Just 1 minute and 45 seconds. Full 15 seconds faster than the sushi master!
Not just 1 second or 2, but 15 seconds!
After a short silence, the audience broke into a thunderous applause.
[Oh my god! My god! My goodness! ]
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! ]
[My mom asks me why I'm kneeling when watching the livestream.]
[That's awesome!]
[I'm completely astounded!]
[Who just said that Ebo could not win? Come out and apologize!]
In the livestreaming platform, the messages constantly popped up and covered people's faces.
Ebony held the plate of salmon fillets and looked at the shocked host. She asked with a smile, "Did I win?"
The host was surprised and looked at her.
He was in silence for a moment and then forced a smile. "Of... of course. Please go to the box first."
Ebony put down the plate. She ran happily towards Lloyd.
Lloyd looked at her. She smiled dazzlingly. The expression in her eyes seemed to ask for praise. Lloyd chuckled and said, "It's amazing."
Ebony stopped smiling and stretched out her hands. "I mean. Return my bag."
Lloyd was speechless.
He threw the bag heavily into her arms.
Ebony held the bag and followed the staff to the box. She said to Lloyd, "Follow up. I'll let you eat meat."
Lloyd didn't know how to reply.
The box was very quiet. Several staff walked back and forth in front of the door and whispered from time to time. After a while, the appetizers were served.
Ebony couldn't stop smiling. She said to Lloyd generously, "Don't restrain yourself. Just eat. I'll pay the bill!"
Lloyd stared at her silently. Then he used chopsticks to pick up a salmon fillet. This plate of fillets was just sliced by Ebony.
Ebony said to the cameraman next to her, "You eat too! It's too much. We cannot eat them all."
The cameraman shook his head. He could not eat food in work time.
Ebony said, "Just take away. Eat them after you're off!"
Ebony took out her telephone and called Teri.
Teri had just returned to the hotel and they came to the sushi bar.
When they arrived at the sushi bar, they saw that the table was strewn with sushi. It was really a luxurious meal, so luxurious that it could be hardly placed on a table for twelve.
After Teri knew about the whole event, she sat directly next to Ebony. Teri held Ebony's face and asked, "Why are you so excellent?"
Ebony was so complacent. She quietly said, "I have never seen such a stupid fool! So simple the game but so lavish the meal! Sooner or later they'll face deficit!"
