Chapter 246: The First Knife

Fortunately, in the end, Su Zifang still didn't do the thing of carving radishes (qíng) with turnips.

After reimagining it for a long time, it was decided to carve a shrimp out of this carrot.

No way, since he learned to cook, the most memorable dish is probably shrimp.

The shrimp can't be straight, otherwise it will be too rigid and have no aura, so Su Zifang decided to design a bent (shēn) shrimp that is about to pop up.

Peel off the top and bottom to make a curved shape (shēn), and hollow out the sides to leave room for shrimp claws, but the shrimp whiskers are not easy to handle, unless he can cut out extremely fine shredded radish, he has to discard it.

To be on the safe side, Su Zifang fished out a shrimp and observed it carefully, and pressed it on the radish to make sure.

Roughly planning the shape, Su Zifang clenched the poke knife and prepared to start.

Zhao Xiaoman had just taught himself how to use these tools, and he was confident that with his delicate control over the Wensi Tofu Training Office, it would be easy to complete the carving of a shrimp.

Thinking that the first knife emphasized by Xue Yi should reduce the loss of ingredients, Su Zifang poked down hard from the top of the radish.

"Boss Su, what are you doing?" Zhang Zidan looked at Su Zifang's movements and was a little confused.

He smirked and gestured with the shrimp, but with a knife, a carrot more than ten centimeters long only scratched a little skin, or the part of the rhizome connection that was not used in the first place, and this (cāo) was able to climb the award of human confusion.

"Try the feel. Su Zifang said seriously.

After pinching the radish again, he pushed the knife in his hand in the direction he expected, and a piece of radish fell along the knife (shēn).

Looking at the angle, Su Zifang put on a U-shaped poke knife again and began to trim the shape of the shrimp he wanted.

"The front part of the shrimp head should be warped, here it should be lower, and this side should be completely shaved off, and the back tail should be curled up a little here, and it has to be made an arc. ”

Su Zifang whispered the shape he had just drawn, the knives in his hands flew over, and pieces of radishes fell, slowly taking shape.

The whole carrot has turned into a slight S-shaped shape.

At this time, Su Zifang changed into a V-shaped poke knife and began to trim the shape of the shrimp tail, repairing a circular loop along the connection between the shrimp (shēn) and the shrimp head, and then continuing to pull out the shape in the back in the same direction, it seems that it has a slight appearance of shrimp (shēn), but the shrimp foot part has not had time to be processed.

Zhang Zidan took a closer look and said in surprise: "Boss Su, you are a good Arhat bamboo carving." ”

"What Luohan bamboo, this is shrimp, Longjing shrimp!" Su Zifang defended, and looked carefully at the Luohan in his hand, phew, Longjing shrimp!

What's this like?

In addition to the shape of one circle after another, it is clear that this one of myself is more curved and more ...... The feeling of bamboo.

was complained by Zhang Zidan, Su Zifang could no longer look directly at the Longjing shrimp in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like an arhat bamboo, and he had to take out a shrimp again to compare it and reorganize it back to his original idea.

With some effort to drive the Luohan bamboo out of his mind, Su Zifang put down the knife again and made a convex shape along the shrimp tail, making the shrimp (shēn) slightly curved and full.

After re-poking out the link between the nail line and the shrimp (shēn) at the tail of the shrimp, half of the whole shrimp can finally be seen.

After looking at the time, Su Zifang decided to carve out the model of the shrimp head part first. The hand is steady, and the knife is steady, and the shrimp head is flattened in half.

"Forget it, you can look up and see it, take out the shrimp claws and look at ......"

Su Zifang shook his head and continued the simple but very delicate movements behind.

After about half an hour, Su Zifang finally put down the poke knife and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Okay!"

"Okay?"

Hearing the voice, Zhao Xiaoman, Zhang Zidan, and Mu Fei immediately surrounded them, showing their strong interest in Su Zifang's first food carving product.

"How's it going?" asked Su Zifang, pointing to a bowl.

Several people looked at it and showed three shocks.

"Is it okay, it took more than an hour to make such a river shrimp?" Su Zifang looked at the watches (qíng) of the three of them, guessing that the next thing must be a string of compliments, and he brewed modest words in advance.

"Yo, what are you looking around?" Xue Yi's voice suddenly sounded from behind (shēn).

"Brother Fang's carving is done. Mu Fei pointed to the bowl and replied.

"Oh, what kind of flower?" Xue Yi glanced at the time and found that it had only been more than an hour, and once again affirmed Su Zifang's talent.

"It's not a flower, it's an animal. ”

"I'll take a look. Hearing that Su Zi put his hand and began to carve animals, Xue Yi was also a little curious, and stepped forward to take a look.

"This ...... This lobster is carved, and it's a little thin. Xue Yi sighed with a complicated expression.

"Master, this is a river shrimp, not a lobster. Su Zifang emphasized.

Xue Yi: ......

After reacting, there was an instant of a violent storm.

"Have you ever seen a river shrimp with pincers so big? And this tail, which is bigger than its head, what is the matter with this shrimp foot, how is it all attached to the stomach. ”

After speaking, he was still angry, picked up Su Zifang's poke knife that he had just put down, and started repairing it.

"The river shrimp should be smart, you make this too bulky, you look at this (shēn) seed, doesn't anyone say that it looks like Luohan bamboo? And the shrimp whiskers and shrimp feet are not easy to deal with, to show the lightness and elegance of the shrimp, this one of yours is too thick, like a shrimp steamed with a toothpick." ”

As Xue Yi spoke, he re-repaired the river shrimp made by Su Zifang, just readjusting the thickness and curved arc of the shrimp (shēn), closing the part of the shrimp tails stacked together, and then curling the shrimp head a little higher, and the overall shape was instantly lighter.

Shovel a few shredded carrots from the shrimp head, the shrimp whiskers also look extraordinarily elegant, and finally put two sesame seeds on the shrimp eyes, and the whole shrimp seems to come to life.

"In this way, it can be regarded as barely visible. Xue Yi put the shrimp back in the bowl and shook his head: "Do you know how to use these knives?"

"I probably know, and I'm getting familiar with it. Su Zifang said seriously.

"It's good that you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, but you just have to learn the method, observe the shape first, and then think about how to do it. ”

"The essence of carving is the same, whether you are a material, wood or jade, when you see a material, you have to think about what shape it may be, what shape it should be, what you have to do is not to carve something, but to embody the original thing. ”

Xue Yimeng put a wave of Michelangelo's poisonous chicken soup in a jar of Suzi, and went to Fu (shēn) to hide his merit and fame.

"So, should I first see what's hidden in this carrot?" Su Zifang was a little entangled.

He carved this shrimp very reluctantly, completely because he couldn't see a shrimp hidden in this carrot, only a carrot.

But after Xue Yi got it, he made him want to stuff the shrimp into the carrot to reappear in shape.

Could it be that this is the realm of no bamboo in the eyes, (xiōng) has become bamboo!

"Sure enough, there's still a lot to learn!"

After self-hypnosis, Su Zifang picked up a carrot again and looked at it carefully, looking at what kind of carrot was hidden in it...... Carrot.
