Chapter 100: Rhythm

"So, what do you want to learn from me?"

The old man walked in front and asked casually.

Li Ming followed behind, and after hearing it, he thought about it and said a little confusedly, "Actually, I don't know exactly where my current shortcomings are...... Before, I always thought that the difference with those people was just a time gap, but now I find that I always have a weird feeling of incongruity when cooking, a feeling that I can't put into words......"

Before coming here, when Yu stayed in the forest, Li Ming had already opened the kitchen god space again, although he swore that even if it was ...... cough cough, but how to say it, the essence of human beings~ Back to the topic, after opening the kitchen god space again, Li Ming put all the cultivation points he had saved before into it (said it was saved, but in fact, he couldn't use it), and opened the time ratio to the maximum he could bear, at the beginning the practice was quite normal, Li Ming, who had already made consciousness, was not knocked down by boredom and loneliness, and his cooking skills were also honed more proficiently, but soon, he found the problem, or the bottleneck, as mentioned above, whether it is knife work, or fire work, Li Ming always had an awkward feeling when he trained, and he couldn't use it strongly, but his movements were very standard, and he was troubled by this problem, Li Ming couldn't even train normally, so he asked the old man for the first time now, and even forgot his original purpose.

"That's why I want to seek Elder Wang's help......"

Although the old man asked him to call him Lao Wang, to be honest, this title is too dramatic, Li Ming is really a little speechless, it is better to call Wang Lao.

The old man glanced at Li Ming, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes, wouldn't it, this kid had already come into contact with this step so quickly? After a moment of silence, the old man said, "I probably know...... It's here. “

"Huh?" As soon as Li Ming looked up, he found that the two of them had arrived in a small room unconsciously, "This is ......"

"Hey, kid......" The old man turned on the light and said to Li Ming, "Let me see how far your cooking skills have reached......

Li Ming was stabbed by the sudden light, and it took a little time to get used to the light, and when he saw this room clearly, his pupils shrank, obviously startled.

This is a small kitchen, but the kitchenware is so dense, it is almost to the point of horror, in the small shop opened by Neon Li Ming himself, it is also such a small kitchen, but the kitchenware is also extremely rich, but compared with the one in front of you, it can only be said that it is still a big deal, the wall is hung with all kinds of knives, cutting boards, etc., arranged densely and orderly, almost completely covering the entire wall, leaving only a small piece of land on the table, and the rest of the place is also full of spices and porcelain bowls.

"Hiss......"

Li Ming couldn't help but gasp.

"Hmph, don't look at it, let's start now......" The old man directly threw over a kitchen knife and a radish, "Let me see your current level......"

Li Ming hurriedly followed, looking at the flickering cold light on the kitchen knife, he only felt that there was a cold sweat left on his head, which looked sharp, if he didn't receive it, it was estimated that he would easily see blood......

"Hey, I said ......"

"What's wrong? Can't you even get it? Young man, let me tell you, if you are a chef now, everything else is not important, you must learn the movements well, especially the movements of the handsome duck batch......"

Looking at the old man looking like a talker, Li Ming sighed helplessly, "Hey, I don't have to learn this, my childhood sweetheart won't care about this......"

Hearing this, the old man who was talking about how to capture a woman's heart with handsome movements fell silent......

……

"Bang, bang, bang......" The crisp percussion sound echoed in the small room, Li Ming was concentrating on showing his knife work, the old man on the side did not look at the knife work, from the young man's previous description, and then heard the current voice, he understood the young man's problem, and at this moment he was observing the young man.

No impetuousness, no impatience, focused immersion in one's own world, which is supposed to be what a good chef should do, but......

"Elder Wang, it's okay......" The young man's voice interrupted the old man's thoughts, and the old man looked back at him, and the young man was looking at him with a bowl of sashimi.

The old man looked at the sashimi made by the young man, a very ordinary dish, there was nothing special about it, of course, the old man's purpose was not here.

When the old man tasted, Li Ming also muttered to himself on the side, just an hour, the old man asked him to do nothing, just cut the ingredients for an hour, from radish to noodles, from tofu to fish, almost tried all over again, Li Ming also tried to find a breakthrough in this kind of work, but it is still that problem, awkwardness still exists, so I still hope that this old man is reliable, although it looks very unreliable.

"Elder Wang, how is it?"

"Hmm......" the old man commented flatly, but his heart was not calm, it was terrible, this feeling had reached this point, and it was a soaring dragon......

"Yes, I already know what your problem is......"

Although the old man's voice was flat, Li Ming was excited, "Elder Wang, I ......"

"Hawkers, in fact, you have also fallen into a misunderstanding, a very simple truth, do you think your knife work is very standard?"

"Yes......" Li Ming didn't understand why the old man was accentuating on the standard, "What's the standard...... Huh? “

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with the standard, this set of actions has been summed up by the experience of the ancestors, and the value is so great that it is indeed unimaginable. But, in reality, every person, every chef has their own rhythm that they are used to, and yes, the rhythm ......"

A flash of inspiration flashed, and Li Ming reacted instantly, that's right, the rhythm problem, he has always been cooking according to the rhythm of the set of actions he taught, but this does not mean how well he fits with this rhythm.

"But, I was ...... before"

"Nonsense," the old man rolled his eyes, "how was your previous level?" The cooking skills are not very high, so I honestly follow the textbooks, and I still think about these problems if the basic skills are not solid? Oh no, they don't even realize these problems......"

Li Ming could only smile awkwardly at the old man's words, but what the old man said was the truth, when the cooking skills were still immature, it was absolutely correct to follow the experience of the predecessors, but as the cooking skills became more and more mature, when you want to form your own style, the experience of the predecessors is no longer a guide, but a constraint that restricts your progress.

"I see, that's why I'm awkward......"

Li Ming muttered to himself.

The old man nodded with a teachable look, but then he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his eyes were about to fall out......
