"Oh, that's Qiao Nan, that's Pei Mei. ”

Bai Wanqing stretched out her hand and pointed at the man and woman, then turned to face the thin old man, and whispered to Chen Xi: "This is Old Man Ma, the senior brother of Qiao Nan and Pei Mei, all three of them are chefs of Sanye Ling. ”

Chen Xi nodded, bowed and said, "Chen Xi has seen three seniors. ”

Zilala!

No one paid attention to Chen Xi, only the sound of cooking dishes in the oil pot continued to sound.

Since he was a child, Chen Xi has experienced countless such scenes, and his heart has long been tempered to be extremely tough, but he doesn't feel embarrassed.

Bai Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, so she came straight to Old Man Ma, snatched the iron spoon with her hand, and said viciously: "Old Man Ma, didn't you see that I introduced you to an apprentice?"

Old man Ma stared at him strangely, he was waiting for the fire, but when he saw Bai Wanqing glaring at him without letting go, he knew that he couldn't help this aunt, so he had to say bitterly: "Xiaobai, don't make trouble, this is a good plate of chopped pepper roe deer meat!"

As he spoke, he picked up the iron pot in the palm of his thin bamboo, and poured all the spicy and shiny dishes into the plate, the soup was oily red, the meat pieces were like dices, and the various colored accessories were as tender as silk, the aroma was overflowing, and the color and taste were complete.

"Old man Ma, open your eyes wide, Chen Xi is good at making talismans, his wrist strength is flexible, his perception is keen, and he is in the innate realm, is he not worthy of being your apprentice with such qualifications?"

Bai Wanqing had already lost her quiet and quiet demeanor, her cherry lips pursed, and she said unreasonably: "I don't care, you must accept Chen Xi today!"

Old Man Ma was stunned, as if he remembered something, and said with a strange smile: "Chen Xi, it can't be that broom star, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Nan and Pei Mei, who were busy in front of the kitchen counter, stopped their movements and looked at Chen Xi with strange expressions.

Bai Wanqing's body stiffened, she was annoyed, and she wanted to strangle this dead old man, which pot was not opened, did you talk like this?

She looked at Chen Xi and was in a state of apprehension.

But seeing Chen Xi pursed his lips slightly, he said calmly: "It doesn't matter if I'm a broom star or not, the important thing is that I didn't expect that Senior Ma was also so worldly." Aunt Bai, let's go. ”

Bai Wanqing sighed, a little guilty and brought Chen Xi here.

"Wait. ”

The two were about to leave, but they saw the old man Ma shouting angrily: "Who the fuck is worldly? It doesn't matter if he's extremely vicious or merciful, in my opinion, it's all fucking bullshit!"

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became, almost roaring: "Lao Tzu accepts apprentices, as long as he can inherit Lao Tzu's cooking skills, who can eat enough to support so much?"

Bai Wanqing was pleasantly surprised: "Then you plan to accept Chen Xi as an apprentice?"

Old man Ma looked stunned and hesitated.

"Senior brother, accept him, the person who is favored by the white beauty, I believe!" Qiao Nan secretly winked at Bai Wanqing, and said with a straight face.

"Yes, senior brother, I see that Chen Xi is young and calm, and he is good at making talismans, so you can accept him. Pei Ji's eyes wandered over Chen Xi for a moment, and she threw a wink without a trace, and then pleaded with Old Man Ma pitifully.

Chen Xi was stunned and silent, but a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

If he pleaded with him in a low voice, even if he succeeded in worshipping Old Man Ma as a teacher, if he still had to be ridiculed by Old Man Ma from time to time in the future, then he would rather not have this opportunity.

And after listening to Old Man Ma's roar, he realized that Old Man Ma was not as unbearable as he thought, and the only trace of anger in his heart dissipated without a trace.

It is not terrible for people to be spurned, ridiculed, and looked down upon, what is terrible is that they have no arrogance, no dignity, and no insistence, and what is terrible is that they do not distinguish between good and evil, black and white, and truth and falsehood are unknown!

This is what his grandfather said, Chen Xi has adhered to it since he was a child, imprinting his bone marrow.

Old man Ma snorted coldly, looked at Chen Xi, and said, "In that case, I'll give you a chance, there is a green bearded bamboo shoot there, you cut it into slices." ”

The green bearded bamboo shoots are verdant, like jade, and they contain a trace of aura, which is one of the common fruits and vegetables.

Chen Xi moved to the kitchen counter, and what was resting in front of him was a Xueliang kitchen knife and a green bamboo shoot nearly two feet long.

"Knife work is one of the important means to measure the level of a spiritual chef, three points of the stove, seven points of the board, no knife is not a dish, the old man Ma is to test your knife work, work hard. ”

Bai Wanqing explained in a low voice on the side, her eyes full of encouragement.

Chen Xi nodded, picked up the green beard bamboo shoots and looked at them for a moment, shook hands with the kitchen knife, and quickly took the knife!

Duh!

The sound of the fine and compact knife cutting board is like a rhythmic drumbeat, Chen Xi's wrist is as steady as a plate, and the snow-bright and sharp kitchen knife is precisely controlled by him, cutting out pieces of snow-white bamboo shoots as thin as cicada wings.

Five years ago, Chen Xi replaced his grandfather in charge of the kitchen at home, using a kitchen knife to naturally familiarize himself with abnormalities, coupled with his perennial talismans, his wrist strength and accuracy are even more outstanding.

Soon, a green bamboo shoot turned into a neat row of snow-white bamboo shoots.

In the distance, Old Man Ma didn't look at it, and said indifferently: "The wrist strength is calm and the knife work is accurate, but unfortunately the thickness is different, only half of it reaches the point where it is as thin as a cicada's wings, which is barely stronger than ordinary people." ”

"The slicing of ingredients should pay attention to the same thickness and thinness, as thin as cicada wings, so as to make the dishes taste balanced, the same maturation time, and beautiful shape. ”

Pei Mei's beautiful eyes rippled, and she smiled and praised: "Little brother Chen Xi, your knife work is good." ”

"Shredded!"

Old man Ma glared at Pei Jiao, and made another request in a stiff tone.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, focused on the board again, and sliced it into shreds, obviously with higher requirements for accuracy, he didn't dare to be careless.

Aggressive......

The kitchen knife fell like mercury on the ground at a more rapid frequency, and the delicate bamboo shoots fluttered out.

Chen Xi felt like he was making talismans, the kitchen knife became a talisman pen, the bamboo shoots turned into rune paper, and the bamboo shoots became runes that were as straight as a sword.

Draw runes, pay attention to the ink evenly, and form a world of its own between square inches.

The same is true for slicing into filaments, paying attention to equal length and thickness, showing skill between the hand and the knife.

Strictly speaking, the difficulty of slicing into silk is far lower than drawing runes, and the runes have different twists and turns, different flexibility, and the way of change is far from being as single as slicing into silk.

Therefore, after fully controlling the focus and accuracy, Chen Xi's knife suddenly accelerated, and the kitchen knife seemed to come to life, stepping on the cheerful rhythm and moving forward.

"It's jerky at the beginning, but you control the essence of it halfway, isn't this kid just like me, and a genius in cooking?" Qiao Nan touched his chin, pretending to be pensive.

"Get out, shameless fellow!"

Pei Mei on the side rolled her eyes, then looked at Chen Xi with an obsessive face, and muttered to herself: "Serious men are the most handsome, little brother Chen Xi, my sister is waiting for you to love me, I will love your ...... more than Sister Wanqing"

"Nymphomaniac!"

Even Bai Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, two red glows floated on her delicate and fair face, and she said lightly in annoyance, but she was extremely happy in her heart, Chen Xi could get praise from Qiao Nan and Pei Mei, which was much beyond her imagination.

A flash of light flashed in Old Man Ma's eyes, and his expression was still indifferent.

In Songyan City, as long as the conditions are not bad, almost no one's children can cook, and cooking is considered to be not doing a proper job and delaying practice. It is also true that unless you reach the level of a spiritual chef, you are generally a servant and a maidservant, and as its master, you only need to enjoy what you have done.

Therefore, after seeing Chen Xi's skillful knife work, Old Man Ma's heart was indeed slightly moved.

But this is not enough, his cooking skills are the best in the entire Songyan City, and he is also a three-leaf spirit chef, so he will definitely not decide the choice of apprentice so rashly.

Chen Xi put down the kitchen knife, and there was a layer of delicate and snowy green bamboo shoots piled on the board, the roots were as thin as cotton wool, crystal clear, and eye-catching.

"Chen Xi, well done!" Bai Wanqing was the first to admire.

"Yes, it's half of what I was back then, but it's already a skill group. Qiao Nan said seriously.

"Little Brother Chen Xi, I have deeply liked your serious appearance, oh, is this the feeling of being unable to extricate yourself?"

Pei Mei first glanced at Qiao Nan, who was ashamed of her words, and then held her delicate face with her fair and slender hands, and muttered obsessively.

Although he always felt a little awkward when he heard the praise of the three of them, Chen Xi was still much relieved and raised his eyes to look at Old Man Ma.

"Hmph, the knife work is still far off. ”

Old man Ma's face was tense, he stepped forward, twisted a green bamboo shoot with his left hand, picked up the kitchen knife with his right hand, and shook his wrist, and an amazing scene appeared.

Aiming at the bamboo shoots in his left hand, the nearly one-foot-long kitchen knife flew in his hand, splashing a snowflake-like knife shadow, and the movement was like a cloud of flowing water, which was easy to come by.

Chen Xi's eyes widened, but he was confused.

"He's carving!"

Bai Wanqing explained in a low voice: "Carving patterns on the surface of ingredients is not only pleasing to the eye, but also easier to absorb when cooking, especially for some meats full of spiritual energy, carving on its surface can make it easier for spiritual energy to be absorbed." ”

Chen Xi suddenly said that this old man should not let himself do this next, right?

He was a little embarrassed, compared with the bamboo shoots as thin as cotton wool, the kitchen knife was so huge, let alone carved on it, I was afraid that it would break if I touched it.

Bai Wanqing snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's just a broken bamboo shoot, what's the use of carving it without carving?" Don't worry, if Old Man Ma really asks you to carve on the bamboo shoots, he is deliberately embarrassing you, and I will never agree." ”

"I didn't say yes either. Pei Mei interjected, and deliberately glanced at Chen Xi as she spoke, looking like a sister supporting you.

"Since the white beauties don't agree, as a gentleman with good manners, I also say no. Qiao Nan raised his head and opened his mouth reservedly,

Old man Ma's figure of dancing the knife froze, shook his hand and threw the flying kitchen knife fiercely, jumped to his feet and roared: "Isn't it okay for this apprentice to accept it? Isn't it just to scold him, and you will join forces to bully people?"

"That's what you said!"

Bai Wanqing, Qiao Nan, and Pei Mei spoke in unison.

Chen Xi saw it in his eyes, and a long-lost warm current surged in his heart. He knew that with his own knife work, if it weren't for Aunt Bai's face, these guys wouldn't have paid attention to him at all.

He couldn't help but feel a little curious, who was Aunt Bai? Not only was she familiar with the Mengkong Sect of Songyan Academy, but she could also get along well with the three spirit chefs, not like an ordinary cook at all.
