Chapter 710: Chapter 710: No Need of Black Card

“You are so knowledgeable. I’m your fan.” Diana flattered Maximilian immediately, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

Maximilian placed the two pieces of fish into a plate neatly, looked at the chef and said, “You prefer to slice the fish to cook puffer fish sashimi in your country, and you think the thinner the better. Is that right?”

“That’s right. One can even read the words on the newspaper through a slice of fish in the light. That’s the best skill of cutting the puffer fish.” The chef was grim-faced, having a bad feeling.

From Maximilian’s experienced operation just now, the chef could feel that there was a great gap between him and Maximilian.

“Just see it.”

Maximilian turned the knife in his hand and cut the puffer fish meat at a great speed.

His movement was so quick that he just spent several seconds finishing the cutting. The fish looked like a complete piece after cutting, as if it had never been cut up.

The chef was sweating on his forehead. Once Maximilian showing his dealing with the fish, the chef realized that Maximilian’s knife skills were extraordinary.

“What’s your knife skill? It’s even better than my master’s. How can there be such a person with such knife skill? My master’s knife skill is one of the best in our country. But you have already overwhelmed him.”

Canaan laughed and said proudly, “My master is the best cook among race car drivers and the one who fights the best among cooks. He can be hailed as an omnipotent superman of the new era and the keeper of justice and peace.”

“Shut up and stop showing off.”

Maximilian tapped Canaan on his forehead, then he picked a piece of puffer fish with chopsticks.

The puffer fish Maximilian picked up was as thin as cicada wings, through which the things behind the piece of fish could be seen, not to mention the words on the newspaper.

The crowd burst out exclamations, all photographing the slice of fish.

“It’s so wonderful. I suppose there are few chefs who can have such great knife skill.”

“What do you do, man? My son is not good at study. Can he learn how to cook from you?”

“It’s definitely the top-level knife skill. You have spared many efforts on it, right?”

Canaan looked at the chef complacently and said loudly, “Are you getting off the subject? It’s time that the chef gave us a performance.”

The chef flushed, bowed low to Maximilian and said in a loud voice, “I was so arrogant just now. I didn’t expect that you have such great knife skills. I sincerely apologized to you, sir. I’ll resign and return my home country and I’ll never step out of my country for the rest of my life. I will be dedicated to improving my knife skills. I hope I can have as excellent knife skills as you.”

When the chef finished his words, he turned around and left. The manager was stunned, his eyes sweeping between Maximilian and the chef, then the manager ran out of the lobby.

Canaan rolled his eyes and said, “Bastard! Is that all? He just said a few words and left? Don’t they have the tradition of Seppuku when they suffer a failure?”

“Well, you just have the puffer fish. Here you are.” Maximilian handed Canaan the puffer fish on the plate.

Then Maximilian cut another piece of puffer fish, put it into a plate and said to the people around, “I’m sorry for disturbing your having meal. I’d like to apologize to you and offer you to have a taste of the puffer fish.”

“Never mind. We’re so lucky to see your excellent knife skills.”

“Buddy, are you a cook? Where are you working? We’d like to go for you.”

“That’s right. With your outstanding knife skills, the restaurant you work is surely great. You just tell us, then we’ll go there.”

Maximilian arched his hand to the onlookers then he returned to his seat with a smile.

The crowd tasted the sashimi Maximilian cooked then gave him a thumbs up.

After having a taste of the sashimi, Diana rolled her eyes and walked to Maximilian with a smile.

Flora stared at Diana warily and said with a grim face, “What are you doing? We’re having a meal, don’t you see that? We don’t accept the request of your live streaming. Please don’t disturb us.”

Diana looked at Flora, then Victoria. Comparing their appearance with hers, Diana was frustrated, feeling that the two were so pretty that she herself was absolutely not a match for them.

“Well, I’d like to have Maximilian’s phone numbers to have a cooperation in live streaming. I’m the photographer, responsible for the voice-over, and you are the anchor then we share the profits fifty against fifty. How about it?” Diana plucked up her courage to speak out her thoughts.

Maximilian shook his head and said to Canaan, “I don’t want to say anything. You just go to persuade her to quit.”

Canaan grinned, stood up and bat his eyes at Diana, “Now you believe I’m an agent of Maximilian? We can have close contact with each other.”

“Shit! You’re disgusting. Go away, fat-ass.” Diana stamped her foot and left with anger.

Canaan watched Diana leaving plaintively, “How come no one appreciates my inner beauty? I’m filled with knowledge. Why doesn’t she appreciate my noble temperament?”

“What I see is your wretchedness.” Maximilian made a comment.

“Ha ha, that’s it.” Victoria laughed out loud.

“Master, how can I be wretched? Never mind. You all don’t understand me. I’m sure that someone will appreciate it.”

When Maximilian and the other three was about to finish the meal, the manager came over with a gentle middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a Tang suit, arched his hand to Maximilian then he handed a black card to Maximilian.

“I heard that our chef offended you just now. It’s our fault. We’d like to present the black card to you for your forgiveness.”

“It doesn’t matter. But if the chef left, does it have an influence on your business?”

It’s said that don’t be angry to the person who in smiles. Maximilian didn’t intend to embarrass the workers in Kyoten Izakaya, not to mention it was just an accident in fact.

“It won’t. We have been thinking about firing him, but doesn’t for fear of hurting his feelings. Now that’s just fine.”

“Well, just take back the black card. I don’t need it.” Maximilian said tonelessly.

The crowd was amazed, since the black card of Kyoten Izakaya was quite valuable.

Owning such a black card meant an improvement of social circle. It was said that those who held a black card of Kyoten Izakaya could have fun at the Kyoten Izakaya club, where many rich and powerful young men gathered and ordinary men couldn’t set foot in at all.

The gentle middle-aged man thought Maximilian did not understand the value of the black card, so he explained with smile, “The black card of Kyoten Izakaya is not an ordinary card, but represents high status. Someone who holds it can participates in activities of Kyoten Izakaya, make acquaintance with people from upper class and expand his social network.”
