Chapter 803: Enlightenment
The expressions of Jin Zhen and the other two suddenly became serious, and their scalps tingled when they looked at the plate of tofu.
The chef in their family has very high requirements. The secret to their knife skills training is cutting tofu.
To what extent should I practice?
The whole plate of tofu must be cut into pieces that fall into water like flowers from heaven without breaking or cracking. No cracks are allowed, and each piece must be of the same thickness and can fit through the eye of a needle.
Moreover, the knives they were asked to use to practice knife skills were unsharpened and extremely dull.
The difficulty is really high.
It not only tests one's knife skills, but also tests one's stress resistance and concentration.
Anyway, after practicing for so long, they have never met the master's requirements.
The three of them took their knives, stood in front of the tofu, took a deep breath, and then moved together.
After the unopened blade touched the tofu, the three men intentionally reduced their strength, but the tofu was still broken with one cut.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the entire piece of tofu.
It is a well-known fact that tofu is fragile. Jian Yan originally thought that after practicing for so long, the three of them should have learned some tricks, but they didn't expect that it was still the same as before.
“Since the straight-ahead cut method doesn’t work, we should consider changing the cutting method and controlling the overall force.”
"When cutting, it's not the palm and fingers that exert force, but the wrist. No matter how blunt the knife is or how strong the force is, as long as you find that point and can control it skillfully, you can control the knife as you wish."
"Think about how you usually peel potatoes, radishes, apples, and other ingredients. Then think about the point where I cut the Wensi tofu. Think about it carefully."
"Let me give you one more tip. If you still can't figure these out, try to incorporate your mental power into it. Use your mental power to sense and observe the shape and texture of the ingredients."
Three people, "..."
After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Chen Wu moved first. He reached out and took a piece of tofu, placing it in the palm of his hand. The white, tender and fragile tofu swayed in his palm.
He followed Jian Yan's instructions and integrated his mental power into it to replace his own eyes and perception. Miraculously, he discovered that it was as if the piece of tofu had become one.
This piece of tofu seemed to be alive in his mind. He knew exactly where to cut the tofu without destroying its texture and making it the ideal shape in his mind.
Except for the first cut which was a little hesitant, the angle and force of the subsequent cuts became more and more precise. Jian Yan looked at the tofu in his hand, which had been cut more than ten times but still maintained its complete shape, and nodded with satisfaction.
Good, I finally got it.
Chen Wu doesn't need to worry about Jin Zhen and Chen Jinrong...
Turning around to look at the two of them, Jian Yan shook his head, thinking that his comprehension was still a little behind Chen Wu's.
But it doesn't matter. Compared to my previous random use of force and cutting techniques, I have finally figured it out.
Just practice slowly, knife skills are not something you can master overnight.
Because a lot of tofu was wasted while practicing knife skills, Jian Yan, in line with the principle of not wasting, made all the tofu into spicy tofu, and then asked Eli and the others to send it out to Rabbit Dad and the customers to eat together.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the first thirty customers in line began to place their orders one after another.
These thirty tables were Jian Yan's job, so she was completely busy.
Lu Jinci and his team served as waiters as usual. While the guests were waiting, they served free side dishes to whet their appetites.
There are no fixed side dishes in the Jian family's small building, and the appetizers are different every day.
Today's dish is a plate of sweet and sour radish strips, a plate of spicy dried fish, and a plate of crispy and refreshing young ginger.
