Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

: Octopus and Bear’s Paw (Part 1)

Regardless of whether it is the world before time travel or the world after time travel, there is one or more similar legends – a well-known sage fetches a sword and a scabbard, and asks the boy or girl who has become king , “Did you choose this sword to kill the enemy, or the scabbard to protect yourself?”

According to different legends, some boys or girls answered the sword, some answered the scabbard, and some simply pulled out the spear beside them. There is only one choice, which is not mentioned in any legends.

At this moment, Xie Yunfei, who was making the same difficult choice as the legendary boy or girl, looked at Luo Tianyou standing in front of him with a firm expression and a little madness in his eyes. He lowered his head, bent down, and said in the most sincere way , “Please give me the training methods of Bai Luo Snake’s training and knife skills.”

Xie Yunfei neither gave up training on Bai Luo Snake, nor did he intend to ignore his weak knife skills. Standing in front of Luo Tianyou, he just gave his answer like other chefs who are advancing on the road of cooking.

“Don’t choose one, but want both?” Luo Tianyou murmured, although he was a little surprised by the answer given by the young man in front of him, but he did not refuse, but rubbed his chin to think about the possibility. After a while, he raised his head, “The next two days will be very hard, and you may not even be able to guarantee a rest time. Even so, is there no problem?”

“No problem, it’s just what I want!”

It’s all about cultivating immortals. It’s not that Xie Yunfei has never done it before crossing. What’s more, there are also medicines for restoring energy in the mall. If you practice the method, you will definitely not lose money.

Seeing that Yunfei was so sure, Luo Tianyou stopped persuading him. Nodding his head, leaving a sentence of “wait for me here”, he turned and left the kitchen…

In the next two days, not only Huaxia’s special chefs, but even the staff of Yuanyue Hotel knew about Yunfei, the young man brought by Luo Tianyou’s side. After all, in the entire history of the hotel, he was the only one who stayed in the kitchen for three days, except for taking time out in between.After going back to the room and taking a shower, even sleeping was done in the kitchen.

If Xie Yunfei still had some free time on the first day after staying in the hotel, then after Luo Tianyou returned with his deputy team leader Lin Tianhao, Xie Yunfei ushered in the most boring two days.

From seven in the morning to four in the afternoon, he was guided by Lin Tianhao to practice knife skills throughout the day. Maybe it was because of Luo Tianyou’s face, or maybe it was because he wanted to support the younger generation. In short, although he could not be regarded as completely unreserved, Lin Tianhao still taught Yunfei a lot of experience in knife skills that he had summed up over the years.

“Remember, all knife skills will eventually be classified into four basic knife skills: flat knife, straight knife, oblique knife, and ji knife. Master.” When Lin Tianhao said this, he held a knife in one hand and an apple in the other, and within a short time, he peeled off the apple’s skin completely.

In order to add convincingness to his words, he also cited two very vivid examples, “If you are familiar with the history of a hundred years ago, then you should have heard the eight-star special chef Ryan’s “Arhat Crystal Slash” and ‘Breaking Bull and Green Dragon Slash’, although these two knife techniques use different kitchen knives, they both use straight knife techniques.”

While talking, Lin Tianhao took out a sea fish from the storage room, washed the knife in his hand with water, and then started the cooking performance that many star restaurants have.

Cut open the abdomen with a horizontal knife, take out the fish bones, cut off the fish head with a straight knife, and pick out the small spines.

Several steps were completed in one go, comparable to the speed at which Renn handled the sea bream that Xie Yunfei saw in the “China First” animation before crossing. After thoroughly removing the bones, Lin Tianhao changed the straight knife to a jaggery knife, and began to cut the surface of the fish.

Unlike Xie Yunfei’s seriousness when handling ingredients, Lin Tianhao’s expression was always relaxed and indifferent. He obviously didn’t know how many times he had handled fish, and even with his eyes closed, he didn’t make any mistakes.

In less than five minutes, a squirrelfish embryo appeared in front of Xie Yunfei.

“Do you understand?” Guan Yunfei nodded, Lin Tianhao put the kitchen knife back into the kitchen utensils box, took two steps back, and made way for the seat, “Then you repeat my previous method, by the way, don’t ask for speed, With me, you just have to be correct!”

“…Understood.” Xie Yunfei originally thought that Lin Tianhao would teach him some advanced techniques similar to [high-temperature frying], but it seemed that something went wrong. Although he felt a little resentful, he did not refuse. Instead, he walked to the cutting board, It started to imitate Lin Tianhao’s previous cooking techniques.

Then, he was slapped in the face.

“The technique is wrong here. Hold the knife firmly. Don’t hesitate. If you hesitate, you will make mistakes. If you make mistakes, you will waste ingredients.”

“Here we need to use a saw blade to cut. Frozen food materials are relatively hard, and it is very likely that the knife will not cut continuously.”

“When pricking, use your wrist and feel the touch of your fingers. You will find that the kitchen knife is just an extension of your arm.”

“The ji knife generally needs to be lowered to between two-thirds and three-quarters of the ingredients, but if you want to make the finished product more beautiful, you can try to go beyond the limit. Of course, you don’t need to worry about that now, honestly Do as I ask.”

“Thirteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds, nearly twice the time I spent… Don’t stop, do it again while you still have the memory.”

If it is said that Lin Tianhao’s teaching can make Xie Yunfei know where he is wrong and where he needs to improve, then Luo Tianyou, who started teaching Xie Yunfei at night, is a completely different education model.

He didn’t force Xie Yunfei to get rid of his habit of directly kneading dough with his hands, but he also didn’t choose to accommodate his nephew. When teaching, he held his own rolling pin and repeated it over and over again. White Luo Snake transferred to practice.

It’s hard to get to know Yunfei. Every time Luo Tianyou finishes using the White Luo Snake to practice, Xie Yunfei has to think hard for a long time, so that he can integrate Luo Tianyou’s techniques into his own habits.

The main point of Bai Luo Snake training is rotation. Many chefs know this, and even go a step further, relying on the main points of wrist rotation, arm rotation, and shoulder joint rotation. Many people have heard of it. But knowing it is one thing, doing it is another.

Xie Yunfei himself has already mastered the low-end version of [Pastry Skill Rotation] as a white Luo Snake, but even for him, a night of practice and imitation only slightly improved his proficiency in [Rotation] Some, didn’t even get an upgrade.

Fortunately, he still has cooking space.

Taking time, Xie Yunfei expressed that he wanted to take a short nap before 10:30 in the evening. Luo Tianyou didn’t think too much about it. Although he hoped that Xie Yunfei could grow up quickly, he didn’t mean to overthrow the seedlings.

Then, under Luo Tianyou’s gaze, Xie Yunfei entered the cooking space, and stayed in it for more than 30 hours. It was not until two o’clock in the morning that he faintly ‘woke up’.
