Seeing such a magical knife technique, Qian Shi was stunned for a while, and only said after a while: "This, senior, you, how did you do it, a single swing of the knife can actually break the branches into several pieces!"

The old man smiled: "Hehe, this is just some small tricks, you just saw the moment of the knife, and you don't know how I did it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Looking at Qian Shi's serious appearance, the old man continued: "Of course it is impossible to cut the branches into several pieces with a knife, I use the shaking of the wrist when the knife is made, and use my own strength to cut out the edge of the knife in stages, so you will see this effect, which requires a very certain amount of wrist strength and control of the force, if the control is not good, this effect will not be achieved, this knife method is called the hidden knife method." ”

"Not only is the Hidden Knife more efficient when the chef is cooking, but it can also be very effective when dealing with special ingredients, such as some ingredients that are difficult to cut due to their own hardness. As he spoke, the old man pointed his kitchen knife at a boulder beside him, and simply swung it down, and the boulder was instantly cut in half and collapsed.

"Qian Shi, you can come forward and take a look, although I only swing a knife, but there will be multiple knife marks at the incision of the boulder, this is the essence of the hidden knife method to break a thousand catties by skill, this knife method is powerful, and it is also a means of attack, if you encounter danger in the future, you can also protect yourself, and then I will teach you some details and skills." ”

At this time, the expression on Qian Shi's face was a little complicated, full of nervousness, expectation, surprise, and he was really a little overwhelmed. However, when he heard the old man's words, he immediately bowed down: "The predecessors are very kind, and today thanks to the master's teaching, the disciples will definitely strive for excellence in cooking skills in the future, and strive for culinary success." ”

"Hahaha..."The old man burst out laughing, resounding through the bamboo forest, "You kid is really clever, but you don't have to call me master, I said before, this is the fate of you and me, you will meet many people in the future, a lot of things worth learning from you, hurry up." ”

After some guidance from the old man, Qian Shi also successfully used the hidden knife technique, although it was far from the old man and was not in the same realm, but he also mastered the essence, but his own strength was not enough, and he could not fully exert the hidden knife technique.

"Yes. The old man looked at Qian Shi and nodded: "With your current ability, you can only do one knife and three cuts, but in terms of knife power, you shouldn't have any problem cutting wood, but you have to remember that you can only use some borrowing skills during the assessment, don't use the hidden knife method, and if you enter the Drunken Immortal Building, you can't easily use it until you have to." ”

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of my predecessors. Qian Shi returned respectfully, and he was still excited at the moment.

The old man stroked his beard and said solemnly: "In the future, you still have to not be lazy in the practice of sword skills, I came to tell you this today, because the old man is leaving here, I will not stay here for a long time when I travel to the mainland, if it is not for something to come here this time, I will not meet you." ”

"Senpai, when are you leaving?"

"Let's go. With that, the old man got up to leave.

Qian Shi hurriedly said: "The seniors are righteous, but I don't know what the seniors call them, and how to meet the seniors in the future." ”

The old man turned around and waved his hand: "You will know the name of the old decay in the future." But for Qian Shi's second question, he didn't answer, and his figure disappeared into the bamboo forest in a flash.

Looking at the direction of the old man's departure, Qian Shi had an indescribable feeling, although the month was not long, but the old man was very kind to him, giving him a feeling of relatives and elders, and pointed him out a lot of things, teaching knife techniques, and now he left suddenly, which really made him a little sad, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Eh, if you meet your predecessors in the future, you must thank you well." ”

Time passes, and the day of the assessment of the Drunken Immortal Building is getting closer and closer, and after Qian Shi learned the hidden knife technique, not only did he not relax his practice of knife skills, but he became more diligent and had a deeper understanding of cooking skills.

Early in the morning, extinguishing last night's fire, Qian Shi packed his bags, looked at the assessment voucher in his hand, and showed a faint smile, yes, today is the final assessment of Zuixianlou, the knife test, for which Qian Shi has already made sufficient preparations, and his persistence and these two months of sword practice have made him full of confidence, and Zuixianlou is no longer out of reach in front of him.

In the past two months, Qian Shi has turned the place where he lives into a small mansion, not only built an exquisite wooden house with green bamboo and tree branches, but also cultivated a small vegetable garden on the vacant land he cleared, planted blue herbs and some simple fruits, and built a fence around it, it is really like a hermit in the forest, but maybe he will not have to live here in the future.

After one last glance at the wooden house, Qian Shi turned around and went on the road, although this place is not far from the assessment site, but the location is remote, there is no trace of people in the past, and there is no repaired mountain road, he must go around to the main road or climb over a mountain, so it will take some time to hurry.

However, Qian Shi was a little strange on the road, because the last time he came to the assessment, he could meet some apprentices who participated in the assessment within 100 meters on the road, which can be said to be an endless stream, and this time Qian Shi walked for a long time, and only saw only a few people, and when he arrived at the assessment point, he was even more surprised, although some people gave up the second assessment at that time, but there were as many as 100 people who applied, and now there are only dozens of people who have arrived here。

There is also a difference from last time, Wu Yue, the assessment girl of the Drunken Immortal Building, this time she was already waiting for them on the square first, sitting on the bench and drinking tea leisurely, and there were several waiters standing next to her, ignoring the people who came, and looking at the incense lit on the table from time to time, it seemed that she was waiting for the time of the assessment.

The apprentices who arrived at the assessment have their own numbers, each of them has a separate position, all the wood, kitchen knives and tables needed for the assessment have been prepared in a unified manner, and there are many majestic guards standing around the square, seeing this situation, Qian Shi did not dare to speak, found his corresponding position, and waited quietly.

As a stick of incense burned out, the assessment officer Wu Yue also got up, looked at the sparse dozens of people in the square, and said coldly: "Since you are all here, it seems that you have a little grasp of yourself, and you should be very clear about the assessment rules, only if you meet my requirements can you officially enter the Zuixian Building, this is also the last time that the Zuixian Building has expanded its apprentices in three years, if you can't pass the assessment, you can only wait until the next three years." ”

Seeing that no one had any objections, Wu Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then with one move, someone moved an hourglass and remembered the time, "Half an hour, I will personally check your sword skills then, and now you can start." ”

Qian Shi looked at the wood placed in front of him, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, he picked up the kitchen knife with one hand and moved, although he was much worse than the girl Wuyue's knife skills, but there was half an hour, which was enough for him, and the assessment requirements were more relaxed than that day, the thickness of the wood they cut out did not have to be the same as Wuyue, which also increased the possibility of success for Qian Shi, as long as he stabilized his mind and mastered the strength of the knife, he had a good chance.

For a while, all the people were busy, the sound of kitchen knives cutting was endless, everyone's faces were frowning, they knew that this would be the moment to decide their fate, once they successfully entered the Drunken Immortal Building, their future would be bright, whether they could pass or not depends on this fight.

As soon as the sun rose, the assessment apprentices in the square began to become anxious, and the fine sand in the hourglass surged down quickly, passing silently, and with the last grain of sand falling, the gong at the end of the assessment also sounded.
