Hearing Xiao Han's evaluation, Jing Jiuming regretted his decision more and more.

"I really shouldn't have listened to you and my master in the first place. Jing Jiuming looked at Xiao Han angrily, "If it weren't for you, I might really be able to accept him as a student." ”

"Don't think about it. His current understanding of Huaxia cuisine is quite good among his peers, at least, Que Zhengqing has not left him behind, although it is not as good as Fu Xiuyun, but, don't forget, he still has a year. Rather than imprisoning him in the East, I think it's a good idea to let him go elsewhere. Before, his basic skills were indeed a little rough, but after more than a week of tempering, he should be able to give him a little confidence and inspiration, as for what kind of height he can reach next, it depends on himself. ”

Xiao Han poured a cup of hot tea, held it in his hand, and took a sip gently, the light aroma of tea wrapped around the tip of his tongue for a long time.

"Having said all that, how is the training camp?"

Jing Jiuming glanced at Xiao Han, "I thought you didn't care about this?"

"Pretentious, don't talk about it. Xiao Han closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

Jing Jiuming wanted to make Xiao Han uncomfortable, but he didn't expect Xiao Han to directly ignore his inquiry, which made him feel a little aggrieved. However, thinking of Xiao Han's character, he was a little helpless, in the entire Oriental School Park, the only person who could ignore him was Xiao Han.

The selection began the day after tomorrow, Fu Xiuyun and Cheng Huaizhi set the quota in advance, and the rest competed for the other three places. Jing Jiuming said simply.

"It's the same way you've always done things. Xiao Han said.

"This time, it wasn't easy. The qualifying competition for prestigious schools is proposed by our school, and if the results are not satisfactory, it is the reputation of the East that will be damaged, and we cannot afford it, so we must make sure that we have enough strength to overpower our opponents. Jing Jiuming clasped his hands tightly and said in a resolute tone, "There can be no accidents, starting from the selection of players, and everything will be foolproof." Now, you say that because you are not in my place, and in twenty years, you will be like me. ”

"I'm not interested in what you're doing now. Xiao Han refused.

"When I was so young like you, I thought the same as you, but, let's face it, people always have to bow their heads. Jing Jiuming reminded.

"That's you. Xiao Han turned his head and looked out the window.

It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already dark.

Xiao Han stretched his waist and stood up.

"Leaving so early?" Jing Jiuming asked.

"yes, that kid is going to eat, I'm going to buy him a meal. Xiao Han said.

"Let the chef here make two dishes and send them over. Jing Jiuming reminded.

"The level is too low, and besides, I have to eat it too. Xiao Han didn't accept Jing Jiuming's proposal, waved his hand, and walked downstairs.

Jing Jiuming shook his head and said helplessly: "This guy, there are so many requirements......

After Xiao Han had dinner, he came to the kitchen with his lunch box and was slightly stunned.

Zheng Ke held a carving knife, stood by the operating table, and concentrated on peeling radish, whether it was the operating table or the ground, a layer of radish crumbs was spread. What surprised Xiao Han even more was that Zheng Ke's left hand had four or five band-aids, but even so, Zheng Ke still looked at the radish in his hand intently.

The grip of the carving knife in Zheng Ke's hand is still a little rusty, but the speed of the knife has improved a lot. Every time you go down, you are controlling the power of the knife, trying to achieve the desired effect in your heart.

Xiao Han didn't speak, just put the food on the table next to him, and then quietly withdrew from the kitchen.

Anyone's success is not accidental. Fu Xiuyun is like this, Que Zhengqing is like this, and Zheng Ke is even more so.

Zheng Ke did not lag Xiao Han's appearance, all his energy was focused on the radish in his hand, but he still inadvertently scratched his left hand, and sometimes even before he knew it, there were already wounds. He could only take advantage of the break to simply deal with it.

This day's training was not as tiring as expected, but my arms and back were still sore. On the one hand, because of his unskillfulness, he made an extra big bend, and on the other hand, he had not yet adapted to the rhythm of carving, resulting in the action not always being in a very natural state when carving.

After resting at night, Zheng Ke took out the four books again, read the content related to carving again, and then combined it with the problems encountered during the day's practice, and figured out some things.

On the seventh day of the intensive training, Zheng Ke used almost all of it to practice the most basic knife techniques, although compared with the proficiency of cooking, it was still far from it, but since he had been led into the door by Xiao Han, no one could help Zheng Ke next, and the rest depended on Zheng Ke himself.

This time, most of the ingredients were used by Zheng Ke to practice basic skills such as cutting, calibrating, poking, and spinning, so on the eighth day, only a small part of the ingredients remained. But Zheng Ke's task is not easy - after the practice of the day before, he has a deeper understanding of carving, and today, what he has to do is to practice the finished product, that is, the lotus carved by Xiao Han before.

In Zheng Ke's view, carving lotus flowers is not too difficult, but it is not easy to operate. In order to carve a lifelike lotus flower, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the lotus flower, and to understand the structure of the lotus flower, especially the characteristics of the petals and stamens.

Therefore, if you can't grasp these points, the carved lotus can only be four likes.

Yesterday, when Xiao Han carved the lotus, from the outside to the inside, it was roughly divided into three parts, the first is to produce the embryo, according to the purpose of the carving, determine the size of the selected radish, and then use the carving knife to cut off the excess part, become cylindrical.

The second part is the flap, which is the most cumbersome, and Zheng Ke has also "fallen" in this position many times. It is indeed a bit difficult to carve petals that resemble real lotus leaves. Zheng Ke recalled Xiao Han's technique, and then referred to the explanation of the book, which was barely carved, but after carving it out, Zheng Ke was not satisfied, and there was no such nature as Xiao Han.

This part really needs to be practiced.

The third part is to close the heart, carving the stamen of the lotus. The pistil of the lotus flower is both a lotus pod, and the stamens are filamentous. When carving, it is necessary to distinguish between the two and test the delicacy of the chef's technique.

Zheng Ke was patient and used a carving knife to trim the length of the stamens to make them of different lengths and look more natural.

After finishing, Zheng Ke put the lotus on the cutting board, squatted down, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then glanced at the lotus carved by Xiao Han next to him, and after pondering for two or three minutes, he picked up the lotus flower that had just been carved and threw it into the trash.

What the hell? It's rubbish.

Zheng Ke rolled up his sleeves, cut off a piece of carrot, and continued to carve.
