+ 5" U # v ? Each ingredient has its own unique shape, and to change it to the way you want it to be, you have to test a chef's knife skills.
The cucumber itself is long, and after Ye Fei cut it with a knife, he directly pulled the melon, and it became longer, about two meters.
At this time, the people present were dumbfounded, because there is no such thing in Western practice, how long is a cucumber, how can you cut it and cut it like a spring, can you pull it so long?
Rod grabbed the cucumber's head, and the whole person was dumbfounded, and even his hands trembled, and he almost threw the cucumber on the ground, this thing was too scary to look at, like a snake.
"Ye God, this ........"
Ye Fei pulled the cucumber on the other end and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Snake ...... Is this a snake?"
"Cucumber, you didn't look at it just now. ”
"But how can it be as long as a snake now? No, longer than some small snakes. ”
"This is the uniqueness of Huaxia knife work, we are not only able to cut the ingredients into the simple shape of the desired strips and dices, but also can cut out a lot of unexpected shapes according to their own creativity, just like this plate of red flame green dragon, and like this cucumber that is not broken from beginning to end but can become long, cutting the cucumber into this shape is actually a very unique knife method, there is a very nice name, called the cloth knife method, and this cucumber is the cloth cucumber, there is also a saying called it snakeskin cucumber. ”
"Clothed cucumber?"
"That's right, in order to be able to make classic and exquisite food, the ancestors of China not only painstakingly thought about the taste, but also racked their brains in the shape, sometimes an inconspicuous thing around them can bring them inspiration, so as to pass down a variety of incredible cuts, such as this cloth knife method is just one of them, in addition to the orchid knife method, the dragon knife method, the crescent knife method, etc., it can be said that each one is very remarkable. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Fei turned his head to look at Potter, who had been stunned for a long time, and said, "Mr. Potter, may I ask you about these? Do you understand? Can you cut a cucumber how many meters long?"
Potter: "......"
Emma, you think too highly of me, let alone cut a few meters long, I can't cut it out even a centimeter long, the role of the knife is to cut off the ingredients, not to cut the ingredients longer and longer, I never thought about it.
"I....... No. Under everyone's gaze, Potter shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Ye, I apologize to you for my rudeness just now. "This thing is not too dead-eyed, at this time he knows that he can't go against the young man in front of him anymore, because he is really strong.
Ye Fei just waved his hand and said, "You don't have to apologize to me, you didn't offend me, we met for the first time, we didn't know each other, it's normal for you to look down on me, but you despise all the chefs in Huaxia, this is your biggest mistake, so if you want to apologize, you should apologize to all the chefs in our Huaxia chef world." ”
"I ......."
Potter didn't expect Ye Fei to be so serious, he didn't accept his apology at all, but asked himself to apologize to all the chefs in Huaxia, if he did this, that is, he had to publish an apology statement in the media.
But if he did that, he would not be able to stand in the Rothschild family in the future, or even in the entire Western chef world.
Because this loss of face is too great.
He didn't agree, but looking at all the people present, none of them were ordinary people, especially the old and young patriarchs of Rothschild who were present, even if they didn't apologize in the media, would they let them go?
The answer is definitely no!
“....... Yes!"
In the end, Potter thought about it for a long time, how to think about how he felt that he had no way back today, and finally he could only agree to it.
Of course, Ye Fei could see that Potter was not willing, and he didn't care, he just smiled and said, "Mr. Potter, do you want to learn the Cloth Knife Technique?"
Potter: "......."
Ye Fei's words were too sudden, and everyone present was stunned.
Do you want to learn the knife technique?
, this is the rhythm of the knife worker!
Not to mention in the chef world, it can be said that there is the same saying in any industry, that is, a trick is fresh, and it is eaten all over the world.
As long as you can have a trick, that is, the capital you rely on to survive, no one is willing to spread your tricks to the outside world, there is a way to teach apprentices to starve to death masters, so in today's society, no matter how famous people are, they will have a little reservation when teaching others, more or less intentionally or unintentionally, and the rest of this point is also for disciples to explore, it can be said that this is good intentions, or it can be said that there are ulterior motives.
Now that Ye Fei is going to teach this cloth knife technique to Potter who was still challenging him just now in front of so many people, what does this person think? Is this person's heart really so broad?
Potter was speechless again, did he want to learn?
He wants to learn too much, as an elite in the chef world, although he is a Western-style chef, but the itching of skills is a common problem for everyone who constantly pursues a higher realm, although this product is a bit crazy, but I can't help but admit that he has a heart that is constantly striving for cooking skills.
It's just that Ye Fei will teach himself?
"Leaf God ......."
Even Rod didn't know what to say after reacting, he put down the cucumber in his hand and looked at Ye Fei.
All the people present looked straight at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei knew what Rod and everyone thought, but he still smiled and said: "It's just a knife technique, to be honest, this kind of knife technique is only the most basic knife technique in our Huaxia, many chefs will learn this set of knife techniques when they are just getting started, so there is no secret at all, not only he can learn it, but everyone present can learn it." ”
"What? We can learn too?"
"Wouldn't it? Can you really teach us this knife technique?"
"Dongfang Ye is really too selfless. ”
"If you learn this knife technique, you can make more tricks for many kinds of vegetables in our Western cuisine. ”
The group of chefs behind him heard that Ye Fei could also let them learn, and they were all excited, not to mention anything else, just from the green dragon that Ye Fei had carved just now, it showed that the young man in front of him was definitely first-class in knife work, and this kind of person teaching a little knife technique was enough for them to benefit for a lifetime, so how could they not be excited?
Including Rod is also excited, he also likes to cook some food when he has nothing to do, but most of what he cooks is Western food, and the knife work of Western food is just like Ye Fei said, it is nothing more than cutting into strips and dices, and then playing tricks or those, at most, it is just a match after cutting, there is no substantial attraction.
"Ye Shen, is it true? I ...... Can I learn it too?"
At this moment, Rod did not have the majesty of a young patriarch of a big family at all, but kept rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Of course, as I said, everyone here can learn from it. ”
As he spoke, Ye Fei took out a cucumber from the freezer again.
People knew at a glance that Ye Fei had begun to teach, and at this time, if you were still waiting for others to call you to watch, it would be that your brain really didn't turn in circles, so people hula all gathered around, even including Old Ross and Solova.
With their identity, it was impossible for them to cook and cook things themselves, but they were curious, especially when they saw that Ye Fei cut a cucumber that was so short into about two meters long in the blink of an eye, as if by magic.
Ye Fei didn't look at the people around him, he put the cucumber on the cutting board, and picked up the thick-backed knife again with his right hand, before he said: "The knife method of cutting things, everyone has also seen it, if the ingredients are cut off, it is impossible to form a coherence, so when the knife is cut, we choose the tip of the knife to contact the cutting board, and the back of the knife is slightly raised, so that the ingredients will not break, everyone is optimistic." ”
As he spoke, Ye Fei slashed down with a slight knife, and saw his hand gently lift the back of the knife slightly, forming an angle of about forty-five degrees between the blade and the cutting board.
Cha~~
There was a crisp sound, and the tip of the knife lightly touched the cutting board, and there was still some distance between the back of the knife and the cutting board, Ye Fei directly lifted the knife again, and said, "Do you see it clearly?" The blade and the cutting board are at a forty-five degree angle, don't use force in the back, and relax your wrists. ”
Cha~~
Another knife went down, and then Ye Fei began to cut again and again, but this time the speed was relatively slow, in order to let everyone see clearly, otherwise this teaching would be meaningless.
After cutting a cucumber from beginning to tail in this way, Ye Fei flipped the cucumber over so that the cut side was in contact with the cutting board, and the uncut side was facing up, and said: " This reverse cutting method is a little different from just now, you should have seen it when we cut it just now, our knife and the ingredients are vertical, that is, ninety degree angles, and this time although it is also vertical, but the knife and the ingredients should have an angle, that is, there is a gesture of about forty-five angles between the blade and the food surface, but the knife is the same, the same is mentioned later, do not cut to the end, everyone is optimistic. ”
As he spoke, Ye Fei tilted the knife slightly and began to cut it one by one.
The speed was still very slow, but everyone found a very terrifying thing, that is, every time Ye Fei went down, the distance between him and the previous knife was the same, although they didn't measure it, but they could see it with their eyes, and they could hardly tell the difference.
Click~~~
Cutting from the tail of the cucumber to the head, Ye Fei put the knife down, and then asked Rod to hold the head of the cucumber, and let Potter hold the tail and pull it forward.
Potter took the cucumber on the tail and walked forward, this time walking three meters away before stopping.
Everyone really doesn't know what to say, my God, just now you cut a two-meter one, this time you cut more than three meters, big brother, are you sure you cut a cucumber? This is a gummy, or a spring.
Ye Fei's hand gently stroked the torn cucumber, shook his head, and said, "The knife distance is smaller, it can be longer, this cucumber should be able to cut about five meters." ”
Burst~~~
A bunch of people almost squirted, my day, big brother, it's all three meters, you're still too short, can you cut about five meters? Emma, you want to scare people to death, don't you?
"Ye Shen, can I give it a try?" said Rhodes with great excitement.
Ye Fei smiled: "This is your home, do you still need to ask me?"
"uh~~~"
Rhodes was right when he thought about it, so he put the cucumber down, hurriedly took out a cucumber himself, and began to cut it on the cutting board.
It's just that his knife hasn't gone down yet, and Ye Fei stopped it.
"What's wrong?" Rod didn't know.
Ye Fei said: "You just started practicing, you can actually use tools. ”
"Ah, with the help of tools, we still have the tools to practice this kind of knife technique here?"
"Of course there is, this is it. ”
As he spoke, Ye Fei took a pair of chopsticks from the side, and everyone looked confused, not knowing how this thing could help him practice the sword technique.
I saw Ye Fei put the cucumber on the cutting board, and then put a pair of chopsticks close to the sides of the cucumber, and said, "Cut, fix the chopsticks with your left hand when you cut, don't let it slip away." ”
"Huh. ”
Rod answered and went straight to the knife.
As soon as Ye Fei saw Rhodes take out the knife, he knew that this guy was more powerful than ordinary chefs, but he was still a little undercooked, and the knife was forced down from time to time, but fortunately there were chopsticks underneath, otherwise the cucumber would definitely have to be cut.
According to Ye Fei's teaching, Rod finished cutting the cucumber, hurriedly put the knife down, and then picked up the cucumber and pulled it...... Half a meter long.
Rod: "........"
I rub, so short?
