Chapter 166 Decision
There are more than a dozen dishes on the menu, ranging from simple to complex.Wen Tongming cooked almost all the dishes on the menu just now.

Jiang Yang looked at the recipe and compared it with Wen Tongming's cooking process just now.Surprisingly, it was exactly the same.

I didn't feel it just now, but thinking about it now, Jiang Yang suddenly felt that Wen Tongming's movements were very mechanical!

Yes, Jiang Yang used the word mechanical to describe it.Wen Tongming's movements are indeed very smooth, and it seems that he has indeed practiced for a long time.But the smooth movement is smooth, but it can't help giving people a mechanical feeling.

Jiang Yang had some ideas in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

"Have you... always practiced according to this recipe?" Jiang Yang asked.

Wen Tongming was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Jiang Yang asked such a question.

He still said: "I practiced according to what my grandfather taught me. Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Yang shook his head, probably confirming his thoughts in his heart.

"It's not wrong, it should be said that it's too right." Jiang Yang said.

Wen Tongming was dumbfounded, he couldn't understand Jiang Yang's words.

Jiang Yang sorted out his thoughts and said, "You practice very well, almost meticulously. I think the problem may lie here.

Just because you practiced too rigidly, or pursued perfection, you lost something of yourself. "

Wen Tongming was puzzled, looked at Jiang Yang, and waited for his next words.

Jiang Yang's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he continued: "Have you ever heard a saying? Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die!

Old Wen's recipe is naturally a very powerful recipe, as long as you learn the above dishes, it will be a very good dish.

But the problem is, learn rather than imitate!To learn a dish, you must have your own thinking, your own ideas, this is the so-called own thing.

But imitation is different. If you imitate, you just follow the picture, without your own thinking, and take the recipe as the best goal.In this way, even if you cook it perfectly, it is no different from the dishes made by cooking robots on the market. "

Wen Tongming was thoughtful, and his grandfather seemed to have said something similar.

"Xiao Ming, you have to put your heart into cooking. You can't become a real chef just by practicing."

Grandpa's words echoed in Wen Tongming's mind like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening.He didn't understand it before, but now he seems to understand it.

Jiang Yang saw that Wen Tongming was lost in thought, so naturally he would not interrupt his thinking, but waited quietly.

After a long time, Wen Tongming let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I understand!"

Jiang Yang nodded, as long as he understands.

Although this matter cannot be resolved in a short time, it is better to understand than not to understand!As for how much he can do next, it's up to Wen Tongming himself.

……

It was late at night, and Jiang Yang couldn't bear it anymore. He hasn't started his practice today!

Wen Tongming was still thinking, Jiang Yang greeted him and went to sleep on his stomach.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Yang went to the system space to practice cooking.This culinary art is one that you can learn by hand if you don't practice for a day. It's like going against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!

After exiting the system, Jiang Yang couldn't stand it any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, Jiang Yang's biological clock woke him up.When he got up, he felt as if his back had been severely beaten, it was sore and stiff!It seems like a machine that has not been used for more than ten years is rusted.

The arms were also numb and almost lost consciousness, not to mention the feet, which were itchy like needles.

Enduring the discomfort, Jiang Yang stood up and moved his body.

Soon, all the discomfort in the body disappeared.

Jiang Yang looked around for a week, but he didn't find Wen Tongming. Could it be that he went to rest elsewhere?Or did you get up early?

Suddenly, Jiang Yang heard the sound of cooking, and Jiang Yang walked into the kitchen.

I saw that Wen Tongming was cooking the dishes, and there was a big difference between his every move and yesterday's.It's like transforming from a machine into a person!

The dishes in the pot exude a tempting smell, as if hooking your nose.

Jiang Yang stopped. The smell alone was much better than last night's dishes.

Soon, a dish was put on a plate, and Wen Tongming saw Jiang Yang enter the kitchen, and said, "Try it?"

Jiang Yang nodded, picked it up with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

"Not bad, much better than last night!" Jiang Yang nodded.

Wen Tongming smiled, which is the best affirmation of his hard work.

Seeing the dark circles under Wen Tongming's eyes, Jiang Yang couldn't help but said, "You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Wen Tongming smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Well, I was thinking about it last night and forgot the time!"

"You can't do this. Staying up late is a taboo for chefs! Because at this time, your flexibility in hands and feet will decrease, and your senses will decrease, which is not conducive to practice." Jiang Yang warned, these are the things he has learned in Rongcheng for several months. acquired knowledge.

Wen Tongming said: "It's okay, now that I have found my own way, maybe I can do it all at once."

"Don't, let's not talk about whether your body can take it with such a bang. If you make a mistake on the field, that's when you will regret it." Jiang Yang said.

"Okay, you go to rest first, and I will go back to the hotel to do something!" Jiang Yang said.

He originally planned to leave today, and the hotel room is also due today, whether it is to extend the stay or take out the luggage, he needs to go back to the hotel.

Wen Tongming nodded, as Jiang Yang said, if something goes wrong on the field, that would be the worst loss.

He still understands the principle of priority, but he was a little dazed just now.Now that Jiang Yang points out this question, Wen Tongming can naturally understand it.

……

After a long time, Jiang Yang came to Wen Tongming's shop with his luggage.It's already afternoon and we haven't had lunch yet.

Wen Tongming got up again after a few hours of rest. When Jiang Yang arrived, he was practicing in the kitchen.

Seeing Jiang Yang coming in, Wen Tongming said quickly, "Come and try this dish!"

Jiang Yang walked over as promised, tasted the dishes, nodded and said: "Not bad, but I don't have much hope!"

Wen Tongming nodded, he didn't hope that he could make a good dish now.

Jiang Yang thought for a while and said, "What are you going to cook tomorrow?"

When Wen Tongming was asked this question, he was taken aback, and said, "I don't know yet." He was immersed in thinking during this period, and he didn't think about what to cook for tomorrow's competition, or he was always unconfident.

"Think about it, tomorrow's game is the key!" Jiang Yang said.

"Hmm..." Wen Tongming nodded.

……

Time passed slowly, Wen Tongming said a little madly: "Damn it! I still can't figure it out!"

"It's okay, take your time!" Jiang Yang comforted.

"Alas~" Wen Tongming let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, Jiang Yang seemed to think of something, and he said, "Have you ever thought about your initial motivation?"

Wen Tongming was taken aback, and said, "I don't understand!"

"It's the dish for you to learn cooking ideas, remember?" Jiang Yang said.

Wen Tongming fell into memory, how could he not remember?
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "I know what I'm going to cook tomorrow!"

Jiang Yang looked at him and suddenly smiled. Tomorrow... maybe someone will be surprised!
