Although it is still early, the backyard of Huixian Tower has already begun to get busy. The guys are preparing the ingredients, the chefs are steaming the buns and making dim sum, the hall is cleaning at this time, and the swill delivery is carrying away the swill left from last night.

Second Master Fan led Lin Miao to the kitchen door in the backyard, he looked inside, and asked politely to a guy by the door, "Excuse me, where is your whetstone?" Can you borrow it? ”

The fellow was busy, looked up at him, pointed out with his left hand, and paid no more attention to him. Fan Erye looked at the direction of his finger, and hurriedly turned around and thanked him, "Thank you, thank you." ”

The two came to the whetstone, Fan Erye put down the small wooden box he was carrying, and took out all kinds of knives from it, including a large and blunt bone slaughtering knife, a wide-bladed and sharp meat cleaver, and a slender and small carved knife. She couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Fan, there are knives in this Huixian Building, why do we have to bring so many knives ourselves, and we have to come early in the morning to sharpen the knives?" ”

Fan Er Ye didn't answer her immediately, he took out the cyan bag from his arms, selected a few tea leaves from it, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. Then, from a large pile of knives, he picked up the broad, thick and stocky bone slaughtering knife, held the handle in his right hand, and gently tested the blade with the thumb of his left hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was identifying a treasure. Lin Miao also stepped forward curiously, but he didn't see any doorway.

Second Master Fan looked at the blade of the knife, and then spoke, "Girl, do you know why we want to sharpen the knife?" I'll tell you the story, and you'll understand. ”

Lin Miao's eyes rolled and he said crisply, "Grandpa Fan, I know, you have to tell me the story of sharpening knives and cutting wood." Second Master Fan was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile, "You ghost girl, you know everything." Now that you understand this, you must know why I'm sharpening my knife. ”

Lin Miao nodded, but her expression was still puzzled, "Why sharpen the knife, of course I understand." I just don't understand why we have to bring our own knives, Huixian Lou's knives can also be used, and we can also borrow their knives to sharpen. ”

Fan Erye shook his head, "You only know one thing, you don't know the other." A knife is to a chef what a sword means to a swordsman. If a good swordsman does not have a good sword, then a large part of his martial arts will not be able to be brought into play, and his power will be greatly reduced. ”

Lin Miao nodded, "I understand, Grandpa Fan, what you mean is that these knives are all good knives, and they are easy for you to use." ”

Second Master Fan smiled and nodded, "The son can be taught." Go, go to the kitchen and get me a bowl of salt water. Lin Miao obediently ran away, and after a while, he returned to Fan Erye's side with a bowl of salt water.

Fan Erye handed the knife in his hand to Lin Miao, tilted it slightly at an angle, and said to Lin Miao, "Look, there seems to be a white line in the place where the blade is now. This means that the blade is now blunt and needs to be sharpened. Lin Miao took a closer look, and sure enough, under the reflection of the light, there was an obvious white line on the blade. She nodded and asked, "After sharpening it, will this white line disappear?" ”

"Yes, after sharpening the sharpness, when you put the knife up and look at it, you can only see a black line."

After speaking, Fan Er Ye sprinkled some salt water on the whetstone, and then gently put the knife on the whetstone, so that the knife and the whetstone were in contact at the place of the blade, and the knife surface and the whetstone were at a certain angle. Apply even pressure with both hands and start sharpening the knife in one direction.

The "Boom Bla" bone slaughterer moves smoothly on the whetstone, over and over again. After a short time, the whetstone slurry overflowed and adhered to the knife surface. Fan Erye stopped from time to time, observed the changes in the blade, and gently tested the blade with the fingertips of his thumb. The inner edge is sharpened first, then the outer edge. When one side is polished, Fan Er Ye cleans it with salt water, and then grinds the other side.

"Grandpa Fan, why do you want to sharpen your knives with salt water instead of clean water?"

"Salt water is easier to remove rust from the blade."

"But there's no rust on its blade."

"If you can already see it with the naked eye, it will rust quite strictly. When we can't see it with the naked eye, in fact, when the blade is exposed to the air, a passivation film has been formed. When sharpening knives, salt water can help remove this passivation film, making the blade easier to sharpen. ”

Lin Miao suddenly realized and volunteered, "Grandpa Fan, let me try it too." ”

Fan Erye stopped what he was doing and pointed to a whetstone next to him, "You take a knife and go there to sharpen it, it's not too early, we have to step up to sharpen the knives, after the game starts for a while, there will be no time to sharpen the knife." ”

Lin Miao picked a kitchen knife of a good size from the wooden box, and went to the whetstone next to him to try to sharpen the knife by himself. She also followed the example of Second Master Fan and prepared a bowl of salt water and placed it next to the whetstone. Sprinkle salt water on the whetstone, the blade and the whetstone are gently touched, the knife surface and the whetstone are at a certain angle, evenly forced, and sharpened in one direction, over and over again.

"Bang la, bang" Lin Miao also heard the sound of sharpening knives. Second Master Fan stopped what he was doing, looked carefully at Lin Miao's knife sharpening movements, and nodded with satisfaction. Yes, this girl has understanding, and she will learn it.

After a short time, the bone slaughtering knife in Fan Erye's hand had been sharpened, and the next thing was to test the knife to see if the blade had been sharpened. Second Master Fan came to the kitchen in the backyard and saw that the guy from before was still busy, so he asked him again, "Excuse me, do you have any bones here, let me try the knife?" ”

The guy raised his eyes and looked at Fan Erye, and found that it was still him, so he raised his left hand again, pointed to the kitchen, and ignored him anymore. Fan Erye was already accustomed to his style, followed the direction of his finger, looked inside, and found that the case was full of pork ribs, pig's trotters, whole chickens, and so on. He walked in, picked up a pig's trotter, and with a few clicks, slaughtered it into small pieces. Second Master Fan nodded with satisfaction, yes, this bone slaughtering knife has been sharpened.

At this time, Lin Miao also sharpened the kitchen knife, and was standing at the kitchen door with his head probed, looking in. The guy raised his eyes to look at Lin Miao, then at the kitchen knife in her hand, then raised his left hand, pointed further into the kitchen, and continued to work on himself. Lin Miao followed the direction of his finger and found that there was a large basket full of vegetables in the vegetable basket in the kitchen, including radish, potatoes, cabbage, and lettuce. Lin Miao walked in, picked a round radish, slaughtered the head and tail in three or two, and then put it on the case. Duoduo Duo Duo saw the vegetable in Lin Miao's hand and walked away, and after a while, he cut a radish into even slender shredded radish.

Lin Miao rinsed the knife in clean water and put it away with satisfaction, "Grandpa Fan, I have already sharpened the kitchen knife!" ”
