There are too many ghosts in the world, what Xu Niangzi has seen and heard in her limited life is just a drop in the ocean, in her opinion, the chrysanthemums in front of her are the creations of ghosts and gods, how can a small kitchen knife complete such a process on tofu? Where is this a dish? It's clearly a horrific craft.

The moment when the chrysanthemum bloomed flashed in the's mind again and again, and the shock of the blooming flowers lingered, and there was only the sound of their own heartbeat in the silence.

The same heartbeat also came from the roof, and the other spectator was no better than the, and no one could imagine the scene just now.

"There are people in the world who wield knives like ghosts and gods? With such superb sword skills, wouldn't it be an instant death to fight against people? How can you have such skills at such an age? I think that the smoothie of the day was also made by him. ”

The thoughts of the people upstairs were racing, and when they were about to change their angle to see Xia Shang's appearance, gently, a drop of rain fell on the tiles.

"Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

In a matter of moments, the raindrops the size of beans fell, one after the other, in a string, without giving people the slightest respite, hitting the hat of the man on the roof, and the impact of the rain made him feel like he was holding a stone. The wind stopped, the sound of the rain became loud and down, and the heat of the past few days was washed away by the rain, like a scoop of cold water suddenly poured into a hot pot, and the heat wave rolled on the ground, and then was quickly completely washed away by the rain.

The dust accumulated over the past few days was also washed away at this moment, the roof tiles were washed bright black, and the rain mixed with mud and sand was dripping down the eaves.

The backyard of Sai's house was empty, except for one or two family members hiding under the eaves to watch the rare heavy rain, laughing and eating peas. The fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden were so crushed by the rain that they could not lift their heads, but the fruits were all attractive in the rain.

The sound of the rain gradually brought the shocked back to their senses, looked at the rainstorm outside, and then looked at the tofu in front of them, and lowered their heads helplessly: "I lost." ”

Xia Shang smiled lightly and was about to say something, when his brows furrowed!

How can there be rain on the table in the house?

Thinking about it, Xia Shang raised his head and saw the hollow in the roof, where the rain fell.

Xia Shang was wondering, when did he say that there was a hole in the roof? Could it be that the wind just now blew away? That's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it?

The sound of the rain was loud and drowned out all the sounds around it.

At this moment, only rain remained on the roof of the kitchen, and there was not a trace of it on the tiles.

Xia Shang didn't think much about it, took a basin and put it in the leaking place, then pushed open the door, stood under the eaves and watched the rain.

There is no umbrella in the kitchen, and there is no hat, and the didn't bring it when they came, and even if they did, they would be drenched in soup according to the current rain.

"At present, it seems that the two of us can't go, now we can rest here, and when the rain is light, I will go and find an umbrella for you."

The didn't reply, and stood in her original position silently.

Xia Shang brought a stool over: "Don't be stunned, sit and rest." ”

Xu Niangzi looked at Xia Shang, and suddenly said seriously: "I am willing to lose the bet, if you have any requirements, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." ”

"Would you like to lose?" Xia Shang was stunned, "Are you still serious?" ”

"How else?"

"Hey! Ok ok! Just now it was the most ordinary competition between cooks, just like the kind of friends who meet with martial arts, why do you have to have anything to do with the gambling game? Your skills are good, but you can't let that put you behind. ”

"Not bad?" smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I thought my cooking skills were good before, but then I knew what it meant to be out of the sky." Fang Cai's such a ghostly stunt, I, Xu Yuan, am afraid that I will not be able to master it for the rest of my life. ”

"Actually, there is no need to say these frustrating words, the sword technique just now may be more difficult for you now, but it doesn't mean that you can't master it for a lifetime."

The's expression changed suddenly: "Me? Can I master the knife technique just now? ”

"How do you know if you don't try? Your knife work is superb, but your biggest flaw right now is relying too much on your own eyes. ”

"Relying too much on your own eyes?" Looking at Xia Shang, a big question mark was drawn in the's mind.

Xia Shang re-selected a piece of tofu and walked to the cutting board: "Sometimes it is not enough to rely on your eyes alone, there is not much difference between cooking and practicing martial arts, especially in knife work." Good knife work pays attention to the combination of spirit and spirit, the eyes see sometimes there will be deviations, touch, taste, breath and so on are important information, the combination of all information, the knife in your hand can be used more freely. ”

"......" looked confused, and her cheeks were a little red, "I...... I don't understand well. ”

"I'll show you that."

As he spoke, Xia Shang blindfolded himself with a piece of cloth, then held a knife in one hand and pressed the tofu in the other.

were shocked: "Is it difficult for you to ......"

"Shh

Xia Shang signaled to silence, adjusted his breath slightly, and then dropped the first knife.

Xia Shang's performance shocked Xu Niangzi again, the whole process did not pause at all, I couldn't imagine that this was done blindfolded, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as flowing water, I feel that the knife in Xia Shang's hand is like having eyes, and every time it falls, it can be just right.

In the end, Xia Shang removed the blindfolded broken steps and put the cut tofu into the water, showing the same effect as the's, which is as thin as a hair and can also be threaded with needles and threads.

Xia Shang took a faint breath, wiped his hands, and said flatly: "Probably what it means, what you lack now is feeling, feeling the gap between each knife, feeling the subtle changes in the ingredients, so that you can accomplish some things that seem to be impossible with the naked eye." Just like your clear water golden carp, you think you can't make it perfect, but in fact, when you recognize the growth of the carp's flesh and follow the trend of the fish, you can quickly cut the knife without destroying the whole meat. ”

Xia Shang's simple words made the fall into deep thought.

"Feel ......"

Xia Shang knew that he was going to give her some time to digest at this moment, so he didn't say much, he walked to the window, looked at the rain outside and began to be in a daze.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sand in the backyard turned into a quagmire, and looking at the vegetables and fruits in the vegetable garden, Xia Shang was really worried that they would not be able to withstand it.

After several hesitations to go out and build a temporary shed in the vegetable garden, when Xia Shang was entangled in this, Xu Niangzi suddenly came behind Xia Shang.

Xia Shang looked back at her and found that the expression of the was a little strange, and before Xia Shang could understand, the knelt on the ground without warning, looking up at Xia Shang: "I want to apprentice!" ”

"Poof!"

Xia Shang almost choked to death when he swallowed his saliva, and he coughed for a long time before he eased up: "You, you, you...... What did you say?! ”

"I want to apprentice! I want to worship you as a teacher! Little Master Xia Shang, please accept the apprentice! ”

After that, the firmly buckled her head three times.
