Zheng Ke only agreed with half of Xiao Han's evaluation.

He knew that he needed the "realm", and as for whether he was ready, he himself was not very clear.

"For most chefs, you don't need the 'realm'. Because the use of ordinary cooking skills does not affect their business. There are high and low levels of food, but for the general public, when the food reaches a certain level, it is difficult for them to discern the difference between the seats. Focusing on the service, management, and hygiene of restaurants can greatly improve the energy of improving these gaps. ”

Zheng Ke nodded, ordinary restaurants really don't need to make the cooking to the extreme.

"But if you want to go further, you have to cook a more refined dish, both in taste and appearance. Speaking of this, Xiao Han took a sip of boiling water, "Your game was indeed very good, defeating Que Zhengqing, but it also affected the next round of the game because it took too much physical strength." ”

What Xiao Han said was what Zheng Ke was most afraid of.

Using the "Heart of God" can indeed compete with the "realm", but the difference between the two in terms of physical strength consumption is too great. In the joint team halberd and the duel with Si Yingshi, it was clear that Zheng Ke's physical strength was much better than that of Si Yingshi, but after the game, he honestly stayed in bed for several days.

It's not that he can't "break the boundary", but the physical consumption of this method is really too great. If a series appears once, Zheng Ke can still bear it, but if it exceeds two times, Zheng Ke can directly give up the game.

Now, as far as Zheng Ke knows, there are six people who can use "realm". Except for Si Yingshi, the other five people should participate in the year-end the-blue. Without the blessing of "realm", it would be difficult for him to win the final championship.

In fact, after the system released the the-blue champion mission, Zheng Ke has never seen a task that can improve the chef level.

If he wants to keep going, The-Blue's championship is inevitable.

Obviously, Xiao Han saw this from the video, Zheng Ke wants to go further, and the "realm" can be said to be a necessary condition. That's why he said that Zheng Ke needs a "realm". But—

"You just said that I wasn't ready to enter the 'realm' - what's going on?"

"It's like the literal meaning of the word—what do you think 'realm' is?" Xiao Han asked rhetorically.

"What is a 'realm'? Isn't it 'communication' with ingredients?" Zheng Ke guessed.

"Then what is the 'communication' with the ingredients?" Xiao Han continued to ask.

Zheng Ke shook his head and couldn't speak.

"No matter what kind of ingredients you have, if you want to make a delicious dish, you still need a medium – and that medium is your hands. In layman's terms, it's your cooking skills. Xiao Han continued.

"However, I don't think my cooking skills are worse than others, but they have done it. Zheng Ke became anxious.

Que Zhengqing's cooking skills should not be as good as him, and he also defeated Si Yingshi in the joint halberd. Since you can beat them, you should be good at cooking.

"No, the two of us are not talking about the same thing. Xiao Han shook his head.

"Is there a variety of cooking skills?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.

"When you talk about cooking, you are talking about macroscopic cooking. Given the ingredients, you can cook them into exquisite dishes, emphasizing the combination of various ingredients. When I talk about cooking, I mean more subtle cooking, how to handle ingredients according to their characteristics. The so-called communication with ingredients refers to whether you understand the characteristics of ingredients and maximize their advantages. ”

Xiao Han drank the water in one go, and as soon as he put it on the table, Zheng Ke immediately got up and poured a glass of water for Xiao Han.

Xiao Han's words, to some extent, can be regarded as revealing Zheng Ke's doubts, but another question surfaced in his mind.

"But I also asked the students who entered the 'realm'...... Even some seniors, they can't say why. ”

During the game, he asked Catherine, but Catherine couldn't explain clearly, and Dojima Gin and Joichiro didn't give an answer.

"The classmate you asked is definitely not a student from the East. Xiao Han speculated.

Zheng Ke nodded, "They won't tell me either." ”

"The seniors you asked are not teachers. Xiao Han speculated again.

Zheng Ke spread his hands and let him guess correctly, Dojima Silver and Joichiro are indeed not teachers.

"Does it matter?" asked Zheng Ke.

"Observe carefully. Xiao Han pointed to his brain and said softly, "Your classmate doesn't know because these things have been integrated into his blood, and he does these things as naturally as breathing, and it is a natural thing." As for your seniors, they should never have thought about these. To enter the 'realm', you need very solid basic skills, and you must be able to use the most appropriate way to deal with ingredients without going through your brain. ”

Zheng Ke opened his mouth wide, and Xiao Han's statement hit the nail on the head. At the beginning of his Chinese cuisine, he learned from Xuanli in "Chunfangyuan", and Xuanli didn't have time to talk too carefully because he took care of "Chunfangyuan". Therefore, it should be the "sequelae" left from that time.

"Brother Xiao, I have one more question. ”

Hearing Xiao Han's explanation, Zheng Ke also figured out some things, but he still had doubts in his heart.

Xiao Han nodded.

"If the 'realm' really has a lot to do with the basic skills, then why can't many people with solid basic skills reach the realm?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

"Cooking is just a medium, I didn't say it, as long as there is cooking. Talent - sensitivity to ingredients, do you have this key?" Xiao Han asked.

Zheng Ke shook his head, completely unable to guess what the sensitivity Xiao Han was talking about.

"That's right...... It's hard to explain for a while, but if you have to explain, it's probably because you can make a better cooking judgment after getting the ingredients. Xiao Han looked at Zheng Ke, "Do you have this kind of talent?"

Zheng Ke shook his head again, he hadn't cared about this before.

Xiao Han fell silent again.

About five or six minutes passed, and Xiao Han didn't speak.

Zheng Ke blinked, Xiao Han didn't seem to have completely solved the problem, but he didn't know if he should remind Xiao Han.

Just when Zheng Ke hesitated, Xiao Han suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Ke.

"Let's get your basics solid first, and as for the rest of the matter, we'll talk about it later. Xiao Han reminded.

Zheng Ke nodded, from the current point of view, it can only be like this.

"Let's go, let's go to the kitchen. Xiao Han stood up and walked towards the door.

Zheng Ke's heart was a little relaxed, no matter what, it seemed that it would be difficult to achieve the goal of this trip to the East.
