Food Wars: My adoptive mother is Nakiri Managi Chapter 027

Patted his bulging stomach.

Nakiri Mana, her eyes filled with a tender longing for delicious food.

“Chu Yang.”

“Thank you.”

This was not a simple thank you, but a resonance of souls!

Hearing this, Chu Yang turned to look at Nakiri Mana, seeing her face filled with satisfaction and happiness, an unprecedented sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

His cooking.

Finally, it had once again conquered the God’s Tongue.

…

Between the two of them.

Actually, not many words were needed.

Their shared love and pursuit of delicious food had already tightly connected the hearts of this mother and son—no, adoptive mother and adoptive son!

Then, Chu Yang looked at Mana affectionately and smiled, softly replying, “Silly, who wants your thanks? After all, without your adoption, without the WGO Gourmet Organization, there wouldn’t be the Chu Yang of today!”

Nakiri Mana was stunned, suddenly feeling as if their roles had been reversed.

However, being cherished felt really good, warming her heart.

“Yes!”

“You are my adopted son.”

“Then… will you still cook for me willingly, like tonight, when I feel unbearably hungry in the future?”

Nakiri Mana asked back, her eyes hazy.

“Unless you don’t want me, otherwise I’ll stick by your side forever like Anne, and cook for you for a lifetime!”

A delicate, deeply affectionate remark, like ice-cold lemonade touched by chance on a summer day, instantly stirred ripples in Nakiri Mana’s heart.

A feeling like an electric shock spread from the bottom of her heart, lingering for a long time.

…

These words.

To be honest, they felt incredibly cheesy.

But every word, every phrase, was like a meticulously carved love poem.

Yet, they carried an irresistible magic, penetrating the air and striking directly at Nakiri Mana’s heart.

So much so that two blush clouds quietly crept onto her cheeks, and her eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement, a complex emotion of deep touch mixed with a hint of shyness.

She had never thought that she would be so easily moved by such simple yet deeply affectionate words!

“Really, a lifetime?”

“A lifetime isn’t enough, what I want is forever.”

“How far is forever?”

“Hmm, that’s a bit complicated, we’ll have to study it carefully…”

On a dark and windy night, in a brightly lit kitchen.

The two stood opposite each other, their figures elongated and overlapping in the lamplight, as if they were indispensable parts of each other’s lives.

The tranquility of this moment felt especially precious, making both of them willing to immerse themselves in this wordless companionship.

One night!

Finally, there was nothing more to say!

…

“Ding dong.”

“Host has one check-in opportunity, would you like to use it?”

“Use it now.”

“Ding dong!”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, obtaining Damascus Chef Knife * 1, and special recipe Dragon Dumplings.”

There is a type of chef’s knife that is unforgettable and.

Because of its mysterious, intricate decorative effects and the legend of cutting iron like mud, they are called Damascus, and the beautiful patterns on the blade are its symbol.

The price, of course, is very expensive.

Often thousands, or even tens of thousands.

But in the industry, many top chefs like to use Damascus chef knives to process ingredients.

Therefore, many people are full of curiosity about it.

…

In fact.

True Damascus steel has been lost.

The Damascus steel of today, to be precise, is called Damascus patterned steel.

It is not a material, but a forging method, where carbon steel with different carbon content or pure nickel and other materials are folded and forged multiple times.

Under natural light, the low-carbon parts are light in color, and the high-carbon parts are dark in color, alternating between light and dark, thus creating different patterns and colors.

Simply understood.

It’s like making a thousand-layer pancake.

Layer by layer, then fold or twist the “thousand-layer pancake” like a “flower roll”.

Finally, flatten it, polish it, and add a handle, and you get a very beautiful pattern.

Some will add a layer of “steel core” during the forging process, using harder and better steel, sandwiched between two layers of “flower rolls”, such as: VG- 10, AUS- 10, which are commonly used steel cores for Japanese knives, with a hardness of up to 60HRC.

And the forged chef knives are often sharp and durable.

In addition, there is also Swedish powder steel Damascus, abbreviated as Swedish powder Damascus.

This is a pattern steel produced by rapid sintering powder metallurgy technology, a patented technology of Swedish Damasteel company.

The method is to first melt two or more steels into molten steel, then atomize them into very fine powders, and then precisely proportion and layer them to create patterns.

In terms of structure.

It is more uniform and stable, and more wear-resistant.

And the machine-pressed patterns are clear and regular, enhancing rust resistance.

The disadvantage is that there is no concept of layers and steel core, and the price will be more expensive.

Whether it is forged Damascus or Swedish powder Damascus, they are actually a combination of beauty and strength, sharp and flexible.

Many star chefs recognized by WGO describe it as:

When cutting vegetables, you can hardly feel the knife’s presence!

…

His right hand, like an iron clamp, tightly gripped the Damascus chef knife, and Chu Yang’s eyes flickered.

He saw a faint cold light flowing on the tip of the blade, like the brightest star in the night sky, or like the first light of dawn.

Upon closer inspection.

The unique texture on the blade.

It was like a finely woven dream, both mysterious and breathtaking.

The handle part was meticulously carved from high-quality wood, with a delicate and comfortable feel, even when held for a long time, it would not cause any discomfort.

It was also inlaid with several small gemstones and some metal decorations, adding a touch of luxury and elegance, making it unforgettable at first glance.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

When Chu Yang gently wielded the Damascus chef knife.

An indescribable charm seemed to permeate the air, a subtle sound produced by the friction between metal and air.

“Good knife.”

“What a truly good knife!”

“Although it can’t compare to those legendary kitchen utensils, a chef knife with such sharpness and toughness is rare in this world.”

Finally, Chu Yang put away the chef knife and praised.
