Chapter 282 Cut the pier
Radish is a very suitable ingredient for practicing knife skills. Friends who often cut radishes know that radishes are very tolerant.
It can be sliced, diced, cut, cut, cut horizontally, vertically, or cut by a hob, and is cheap.
Sell one dollar per pound in the vegetable market, and the supermarket discounts of 50 cents per pound, so it is not enough to pick it up in the fields of fellow villagers.
It is simply the best choice for beginners to practice knife skills.
Although Cao Guixiang bought a vegetable rack for radish, it actually didn't cost much, and the total value it spent was not as expensive as a bowl of old hen soup on the dining table.
That old hen soup is really expensive.
Qin Huai was shocked when he finally drank the soup. He had already eaten a table of extremely fresh dishes, whether it was braised shark fin or oyster sauce, they were the top luxury meals in the minds of Chinese people.
As a result, after experiencing the baptism of these big dishes, good dishes, and top banquet dishes, he still felt fresh when drinking the soup.
Fresh and mellow, it is the aroma of authentic chicken soup, not the taste of the soup used for cooking with a variety of ingredients.
Before cutting the radish, Qin Huai couldn't help asking what chicken soup was made of, and the answers he got were old hens, pigeons, yao pillars, ham and mushrooms.
Stewed for 6 hours.
No wonder the chicken was spread out with chopsticks. In 6 hours, even a thousand-year-old hen should be stewed.
Before cutting the radish, Qin Huai arranged Qin Luo's afternoon itinerary. The itinerary was very simple. Cao Guixiang packed Qin Luo with leftovers that he had not finished at noon. Qin Huai called Qin Congwen and asked Qin Congwen to open him The van came to the city to pick Qin Luo back.
Bring yourself some clothes to change.
As for the original aquarium…
Qin Luo said: Aquarium? What aquarium? Never heard of it! There is nothing to separate her from her newly recognized dear grandma.
As for Qin Huai, Cao Guixiang had prepared a room for him and had all the rooms cleaned up.
Cao Guixiang's family is a standard three-bedroom old house. In the past, one room was lived by Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu, one room was lived by Zhang Zhiyun, and one room was always green.
Later, when my grandson and granddaughter grew up and went to school, they lived with their parents, and the two rooms were empty. Because Chang Qingqing's room was relatively small, it was directly converted into a storage room and a carpentry room, which was used to stack various debris and tools for Zhang Chu to do carpentry.
When the wood arrives, Zhang Chu will make cutting boards and molds for Qinhuai in that room.
Zhang Zhiyun's room was changed to a guest room. During the winter and summer vacations, Zhang Zhiyun and Chang Qingqing would come to their grandfather's/grandfather's house to live. Who can move in depends on which child can get the exam at the end of the semester.
Qinhuai lives in a guest room.
Cao Guixiang not only prepared the room, but also prepared the toiletries. Qin Huai's toothbrush and cup were already placed on the toilet before Qin Huai entered the door.
It can only be said that Cao Guixiang is very confident in the Tanjiacai seduction method of their master, and their master's method is indeed very useful.
Qinhuai cut radish in the kitchen.
Cao Guixiang moved a high stool and sat on the side to watch, while Zhang Chu stood quietly outside the kitchen and watched.
Qinhuai cut it seriously and it was also difficult.
How to say it, although his sword skills are only at the beginning, he has not been cut at all during this period. Occasionally, I still have to cut some vegetables and some dried fruits, and I have used a lot of knife during the Chinese New Year.
You can tell by looking at the proficiency of the knife skills, and you can get better at the proficiency of the knife skills.
Qinhuai is not completely unable to cut vegetables.
But the dishes are cut more like beginners, not as good as many ordinary kitchen veterans. If he cuts quickly, he will probably cut his hands, but there will definitely be no problem in cutting slowly and finely.
Cao Guixiang stared at the side, not seeing how long and thick the shredded radish cut from Qin Huai were. She only saw how Qin Huai held the knife from beginning to end.
"No." Cao Guixiang shook her head. As a retired master who has never taught her apprentice, Cao Guixiang's teaching level is definitely not as good as Huang Shengli, and she does not have much language.
So she usually gets it right.
Cao Guixiang started to use her hands, pinched Qin Huai's wrist, and corrected his posture of holding the knife: "I know you must have been used to holding the knife like this for so many years, but this posture is half the result with twice the effort. When the knife is not smooth enough, the force will be more effective. For too many, your wrists and elbows can't stand it after a long time."
"You must make corrections, otherwise you will suffer from the practice of cutting the pier in the future."
Qinhuai worked hard to correct it and slowly cut it.
After a while, Cao Guixiang took action again: "You have to raise your arms. You are exerting force on your wrists now. You can't exert force on your wrists when cutting vegetables, you must exert force on your arms."
"The forearm exerts force to drive the kitchen knife, yes, that's it, your knife edge is slanted inward. When cutting vegetables, the blade, index finger joint and the arm should be in the same line. You are a chef in the white background, and your strength is definitely enough , You just are not used to it now, you have to work hard to overcome your previous habits and get used to this posture now."
Not long after, Cao Guixiang stepped forward and broke up again.
This teaching model is very similar to adults staring at children who have just learned to write.
What adults are watching is not whether the children's handwriting is good or not. No matter how you look at it, it will definitely not look good. It is either crooked and ants crawling, or ghosts drawing talismans inconsistent size.
The adults are watching the child's pen holding posture, holding it little by little, keeping it apart for a moment, and if there is any problem, they will start to pull it back.
Qin Huai felt that he was the child now and he could hardly cut vegetables.
Cao Guixiang, an adult who is proficient in swordsmanship, was supervising the situation. Qin Huai only felt that it was wrong here and there, and he had to change it here and there. He would not cut shredded radish after changing it.
Strangely, isn’t he a genius that everyone praised?
Even if Qin Huai is not a narcissistic person, he did not think he was so genius a few months ago. At this moment, he couldn't help asking himself narcissistically.
Why is knife skills so difficult?
Dong Shi, you lied to me!
Qin Huai vaguely remembered that when he asked Dong Shi whether it was difficult to practice sword skills, Dong Shi said:
It’s very simple to get started with knife skills, which means you need to study hard and practice hard. When I first practiced, I felt that I was very powerful and could do anything. The white radish slices can transmit light, and the cucumbers in the straw raincoat can be cut at will.
But after practicing, I found that the transparent white radish slices are divided into three or six grades. The ninth grade white radish slices are easy to cut, and the third grade is difficult, and the first grade is even more difficult.
It looks very difficult and stylish. In fact, ordinary people can cut out a rough idea after practicing it. It’s not difficult to be fancy, but the hard ones are those shredded pork, diced pork, strips and minced pork that look ordinary.
The result is now...
Qin Huai looked at the shredded white radish, sliced white radish and diced white radish that he had cut out.
I looked at the samples that Cao Guixiang cut at the beginning when she demonstrated.
Dong Shi, you lied to me! The ninth-class white radish slices are obviously difficult to cut!
.
Qinhuai's radish was cut until 10 o'clock in the evening.
It’s not that the radish has been cut, but that Cao Guixiang feels that Qinhuai should take a rest.
Qinhuai is over the age when he can live a life of staying up late. With the good work and rest he has developed for so many years, Qinhuai cannot stay up late than ordinary people.
After a simple wash, Qin Huai almost fell asleep.
In my dream, Qinhuai is a rabbit breeder. He cuts radishes for the rabbits every day to make feed.
Those rabbits have very clenchy mouths. Some want to eat sliced white radish, some want to eat shredded white radish, and some want to eat diced white radish. If they are not cut well, they won’t eat it, they won’t eat it if they are not beautiful, and they won’t eat it if they are not neat.
Qin Huai cut radishes almost constantly in his dream. If it were not for the conditions, he would have to sleepwalking and go to the kitchen to cut radishes.
Maybe it was because the dream of cutting radish was too terrible. Qinhuai did not wake up very early as usual on the second morning and slept until 8 am.
Cao Guixiang didn't call him either.
Yesterday, Zhang Chu watched Qin Huai’s whole process of cutting radishes for one day at the kitchen door. He felt very sympathetic to Qin Huai in his heart. He was still muttering to Cao Guixiang when he was having breakfast: "Xiao Qin is exhausted yesterday."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Normal." Cao Guixiang calmly drank soy milk. "When we were apprentices, we were not tired any day. I remember that at that time, I went to Yongheju to cut vegetables before dawn, and cut them until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before I could go home."
"At that time, there were no street lights on the road in Beiping City, and my home was far away from Yonghe Ju. My parents didn't want to come here to pick me up in the middle of the night, but the eldest and second brothers were worried and took turns to send me home in the evening."
"Xiao Qin's conditions are much better than mine at that time. He has been a chef in the past few years and he still planted the ground when he was a child. His strength has been developed and his foundation has been good. At that time, I mainly practiced cutting piers, and women's strength was already I am younger than a man. I have to hang a sandbag for one hour a day for me for two hours, and I have to hang a sandbag for one hour a day for me for me for two hours."
"At that time, my arms and elbows were swollen during the day. I applied a hot towel before going to bed at night, and continued to practice on the second day."
"I don't know how my senior brother practiced basic skills when he was a child. Anyway, my second senior brother and I both cried. I was crying while practicing. I didn't dare to cry too loudly, for fear that I would quarrel to Master, so Master didn't want us anymore."
Hearing Cao Guixiang say this, Zhang Chu also remembered the hard days when he was a carpenter when he was a child: "It is true that when he followed his master to work, he was swelling with his arms, and his arms were swollen and he had no strength at all, and he had to continue working. My senior brother felt sorry for me and said He would be scolded by his master if he did it for me."
"It's all done in this way. Some of the opera troupes who sing their voices are so hard that they vomit blood. As long as their throats are not broken, they have to continue practicing."
After recalling the past, Zhang Chu changed his mind and saw that Cao Guixiang had finished drinking soy milk and still smashed it. She was obviously not satisfied with her mouth. She quickly poured the remaining ones in the pot for her before continuing:
"But, why do I think Xiao Qin is practicing strangely?"
Cao Guixiang then drank soy milk: "What kind of weird do you think?"
"Just... it shouldn't be. Isn't Xiao Qin very talented? His big dumplings are so delicious, and he is not a pure novices who have never been in the kitchen. I think he will cut them at the beginning, but I cut them to the back. I don't feel like he doesn't know how to take the knife."
"Is Guixiang, you feel too oppressive, so you are so scared that you can't take a knife?"
Cao Guixiang:…
Cao Guixiang gave Zhang Chu annoyed and said, "What nonsense is that Xiao Qin's condition was right yesterday."
"If Xiao Qin is a piece of white paper, of course, the faster he learns, the better. But now Xiao Qin is not. He is not only not a piece of white paper, but he is even a very mature or even excellent white-cut dim sum master. He will There are too many and too many, and no one teaches him systematically."
"It is easy to write from 0 to 100, but a person has learned the wrong way to write from 0 to 100. If you let him forget everything, let him write from 100 to 0, how can it be so simple?"
"What Xiao Qin has to do now is to forget all the wrong way of holding the knife before, and start learning again. This process is much more difficult than that of ordinary novices starting from scratch."
"But this is what he must learn. On the first day of my study of cooking, my master told me that all the small problems and bad habits at the beginning, if you don't pay attention to or correct them, you will eventually become a big tree with empty stomachs. Xiao Chong. Although Xiao Qin has many bad habits now, his knife skills are very poor and he has a lot of room for improvement, so he can also correct them from scratch. "
"If he is now a mature chef in the red case, it will be difficult to get it back. Unless he discovers one day that his small problem leads to major mistakes in cooking, such as the Wenchang chicken cannot fight back, and the three sets of duck condoms cannot be added. , I made up my mind to learn from the pain and could only make it back.”
"I haven't expected Xiao Qin to lay a good foundation these days. I just hope to wipe him back into that piece of paper and learn from scratch."
"I believe that with his talent, even self-study will be better than ordinary people with his own talent."
After hearing this, Zhang Chu just said slowly: "Guixiang, do you really don't want to accept him as your apprentice?"
Cao Guixiang shook her head: "He doesn't need me as a master. He can have many masters. I just need to be one of them."
"Since the educated youth went to the countryside, I have no choice but to be a chef. If I don't have this ambition, I will not delay Xiao Qin's good seedling."
The conversation between Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu ended when Qin Huai got up and opened the door.
I got up late on the first day of Cao Guixiang's family. Qin Huai was very embarrassed and apologized repeatedly after getting up.
Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu looked at each other and smiled, so that Qin Huai didn't have to stick to this. They were confident that Qin Huai couldn't get up early the next morning.
Qinhuai:?
Then Cao Guixiang smiled and asked Qin Huai to have breakfast as soon as possible, and she would cut more radishes today.
Qinhuai:? ?
After breakfast at Light Speed, Qin Huai opened the kitchen door and saw the full kitchen radish.
Not only were the vegetable racks piled up, but the floor was also piled up. When the refrigerator was opened, the upper layer of the refrigerator was also full of washed radishes.
"There are two boxes of radish in the storage room." Zhang Chu reminded with a smile, "Guixiang said, Xiao Qin, although you cut it slowly yesterday, the speed should be increased today. With more time today, these should be enough to cut. ”
"If it's not enough, I'll buy it again. I've agreed with Lao Li in the vegetable market that at least 300 kilograms of white radish a day, so I can do it!"
"Give me the purchase price!"
Qinhuai: ╭(°A°`)╮
"That... can I ask how I will deal with the white radish I cut every day?" Qin Huai asked weakly.
"We have a pig farm in our city. Over the years, I often go there to buy pork and meet the boss of the pig farm." Cao Guixiang said, "I agreed with the boss of the pig farm to come here every night to pull carrots. ”
"So Xiao Qin, don't have a psychological burden. The cut radish will not be wasted. If 300 pounds are not enough to cut, it will be 400 pounds or 500 pounds."
“Carrots are cheap.”
