Chapter 171 Carving a Big Rabbit
When she was a little older, she started practicing her knife skills with tofu.
Tofu is a fragile product. It cannot be too heavy or too light. To carve a piece of tofu into shape requires extremely high knife skills and control of strength of the chef.
It took her many years of practice to learn how to carve tofu skillfully.
Her most famous tofu carvings are Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl and Eight Immortals Celebrating a Birthday.
The former was her work when she participated in a Global Young Chef Challenge, a global competition divided into individual and team competitions.
The individual events include:
Western cooking;
Chinese cooking;
Pastry Competition;
Live artistic fruit and carvings.
She won the first three events, and when it came to the carving stage she was assigned a piece of tofu.
She didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but she carved a pair of dragons playing with a pearl.
The formed tofu dragon is placed on a plate, surrounded by ice cubes, then poured with white wine and lit on fire. In an instant, the lifelike twin dragons seem to come alive in the jumping flames.
The contrast between light and shadow, the scorching flames melt the ice and white water vapor rises, the twin dragon Buddhas wrapped in water vapor shuttle through the clouds, soaring in the sky, dragons swimming in the sky, looking down on the sky.
The appearance of Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl allowed her to win the Grand Slam in that event.
She is also the only chef in that world-class competition to win the Grand Slam individually.
She has become famous in the culinary world.
But the highlight of her life was not that competition, but the state banquet where she and her senior brother assisted her father as assistants when she returned to China after completing her studies.
The artistic fruit and carving section she was responsible for won her the opportunity to meet the big boss face to face.
Even though the big boss just spoke a few short, friendly words to her, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.
But the sequelae also appeared. She was praised by the big boss, which caught the attention of her father, causing him to become more strict with her.
She was always taught by her ancestors' teachings, telling her to practice hard and not to slack off after achieving some results, and to remember that no matter what industry you are in, you have to row against the current and if you don't move forward, you will fall behind.
She must practice harder and resolutely not bring shame to her ancestors. What's the story of how the Jian family will inherit her a hundred years from now...
Her ears are almost callused from listening so much.
In the past, she always complained that her father was too nagging because of his old age. Now she misses her father for being nagging, but he has left her forever and she will never have the chance to see him again in her lifetime.
Humans are all despicable creatures.
You have something but don’t know how to cherish it. When you lose it, you start to regret and miss it.
But what's the use?
Once lost, it is lost. You will not be given the chance to possess it again because of your regret or nostalgia.
After dying once, she finally realized that one should cherish the people and things in life.
She would never allow herself to make the same mistake again.
Blinking her moist eyes, she smiled sweetly at the Rabbit Dad who was holding his big belly with an expectant look on his face as if to say, "I'm so mighty and powerful, please carve a big rabbit for me."
"Dad, can I carve a big rabbit for you?"
Dad is gone, but Rabbit Dad is still here. As long as Rabbit Dad is happy, I can carve a big rabbit every day, let alone a big rabbit.
Rabbit Dad jumped for joy and said, "Carve, carve, carve something handsome. Make sure to carve out Dad's style."
“OK.”
Jian Yan readily agreed and said, "Wait until I finish eating."
"Um."
Nodding heavily, the Rabbit Father said happily, "Don't worry, take your time to eat. Eat well and then carve when you are full. Dad can wait."
