Chapter 21 Tofu Carving
"Old man Sun, you have to be a fart!" Someone couldn't help jumping out and yelled at Mr. Sun, "He is a boy in his twenties, and he can compare with those of us who have held knives for 30 to [-] years. ? Even if he started practicing sword skills right after he came down from his mother’s womb, he’s still not as amazing as you said.”

Mr. Sun glanced at the man, and said disdainfully: "Why, Gu Yuancheng, are you not convinced? Sword skill is not just practice makes perfect, but more importantly, talent. If one's talent is not enough, it depends on others?"

"You..." Gu Yuancheng was speechless. Among these people, he had the best sword skills and was also famous for his sword skills. Mr. Sun's sentence that everyone's sword skills were inferior to Lin Xuan completely annoyed him Hairy.

Being compared to a brat in his field of expertise, doesn't that mean that he, Gu Yuancheng, has lived on dogs all these years?This is absolutely unbearable!

"Hey, you two stop arguing, isn't that young man in the back kitchen! Let's go over and see if it's okay, they are all very old, and they are still arguing here like children", Zhongchuan City Cuisine Zhang Yuanyang, the president of the association, acted as a peacemaker between the two.

The side of the back kitchen near the restaurant lobby is a glass wall, and a group of people standing outside can clearly see the actions of everyone inside.

"That young man is the Lin Xuan you mentioned?" Zhang Yuanyang asked, pointing at Lin Xuan who was chopping vegetables.

"It's this kid, how about it?" Mr. Sun said with some air, although this kid Lin Xuan was not taught by himself, but he was definitely the one who first discovered his talent, so he is the Bole who recognizes Maxima!
"That's right, the technique is very skillful, and it's fast and accurate. The cut vegetables are uniform in size, which is rare!" Zhang Yuanyang nodded approvingly.

Gu Yuancheng on the side was a little unhappy, glanced at his lips, and said: "This is just the most basic vegetable cutting, and there is no technique at all. The knife skill is more than just cutting. I don't believe that he can also complete those difficult movements. "

"You are jealous," Mr. Sun's sharp mouth was simply unforgiving.

Gu Yuancheng jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and screamed, "Will I be jealous of him? I've lived such an old age, and I haven't seen any chef. I'm going to be jealous of a little cook?"

"Okay, you two calm down for a while, Old Sun, is it okay for us to go in and have a look?" Zhang Yuanyang stopped the two old men who looked like fighting cocks, and looked at Lin Xuan who was busy in the back kitchen, with a flash of light in his eyes curious.

It's rare to see such a young man with such great sword skills.

"Nothing is in the way, let's all go in and have a look!" Mr. Sun graciously let everyone into the back kitchen.

"Lin Xuan, don't be too busy, come here and I'll introduce you to a few people." Grandpa Sun called Lin Xuan over and introduced Zhang Yuanyang and the others.

"Boy Lin Xuan, I have met some seniors." Lin Xuan greeted several old men with the gift of a junior.

"Oh, Lin Xuan, can I ask who your master is? To be able to train a young talent like you, a respected master must be well-known in the culinary world," Zhang Yuanyang asked.

"Well, I'm actually self-taught," Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment, seeing the expressions of disbelief on the faces of the old men, Lin Xuan explained: "Mr. Sun can testify for me."

Grandpa Sun snorted a few times, "I said a long time ago that this kid is self-taught and you are not good enough, now you understand! His sword skills are definitely better than ours... Gu Yuancheng, what kind of eyes do you have? If you are convinced, you can compete with this kid!"

"Compare, who is afraid of whom!" Gu Yuancheng had planned this for a long time. At this time, he could not be subdued and had to protect his reputation.

Well, Lin Xuan looked at Gu Yuancheng who looked like a cockfighter without a word. This old man's temperament is explosive, right?It exploded at one point.Also, Mr. Sun, why do you love competitions so much? It doesn't matter if you pass the competition yourself, and you found another one for me. Our father and I are offended?

So, with Lin Xuan's reluctance in every possible way, a competition about sword skills began...

"This time, we will try to carve tofu and see who can carve more complicated and not rotten after cooking." As the chairman of the food association, Zhang Yuanyang is duty-bound to become the referee.

At the start of the competition, both of them took out a block of tofu from the water basin. Gu Yuancheng picked up the knife and began to carve. It must be said that the older he was, the more experienced he became. Soon the shape of a flower basket appeared.

On the contrary, there was no movement on Lin Xuan's side, because he didn't know what to adjust. Since Mr. Sun had blown out the cowhide for him, he couldn't lose this battle.

"The carving is cumbersome and can't be cooked. What should I carve?" Lin Xuan looked around, and suddenly found something swimming in the fish tank not far away. His eyes lit up, and it was it.

The four corners of the tofu were cut off with the knife, and the whole action was so fast that it made people dizzy. After a while, there was a layer of tofu crumbs under the tray containing the tofu, and the content of Lin Xuan's carving was ready to come out, it was a turtle.

turtle?The onlookers were a little dumbfounded, are turtles hard to carve?It's not difficult to carve, and you only need to carve out a hemisphere and limbs plus a head to succeed.Looking at Gu Yuancheng again, the flower basket is full of flowers, all kinds of flowers: roses, chrysanthemums, jasmine, peonies.It looks like a small garden, and the gap between the two is clear at a glance.

Gu Yuancheng also saw the tortoise carved by Lin Xuan, and sneered in his heart. He was indeed a young man, and he couldn't complete such complicated knife skills at all. He was sure to win this time.

Lin Xuan ignored everyone's doubts, and soon a vivid tortoise appeared in front of everyone, but Lin Xuan's hand still didn't stop, and the kitchen knife was still carving on the tofu from time to time.

"What is he doing, it has already been carved!"

"Hey, he's still young. No matter how good he carves the tortoise, he still can't beat Lao Gu's Four Seasons Flower Basket, which is his famous work."

For a while, the onlookers were talking about it.

"I finished……"

"I've done it too."

The two finished it almost at the same time. When Gu Yuancheng saw the turtle carved by Lin Xuan, he smiled and said, "Young man, you will lose this time. I carved yours much more complicated."

Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Who knows, cook it first, maybe your old one will become a mess after being put into the pot."

"Okay, okay, it seems that you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River!" Gu Yuancheng laughed angrily.

The two carvings were placed in the pot at the same time, and they were taken out after 5 minutes, and they were still lifelike without any damage.

Gu Yuancheng sneered and said, "Boy, are you giving up now?"

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't be so sure, okay? The competition has just begun, and the next moment is to witness the miracle."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan raised the kitchen knife in his hand and split the turtle in half, but what was revealed inside made everyone's expressions change.
