Subtraction, this is a word that is often seen in various cooking shows, but most cooking shows will not tell you what subtraction is.

In other words, most of the programs that mention subtraction do not meet the criteria for subtraction, so it is only plausible.

It is not a blank space, nor is it a reduction to increase desire, nor is it a so-called thin mouth.

Because subtraction is not the result, but the process of getting the result.

In fact, just like the drill in martial arts in kung fu movies and martial arts, it will give you a lot of bells and whistles, but people who really understand will tell you that this thing is "elbows at the waist, palms up, turn arms to punch", true biography, often very simple.

And this subtraction, in daily cooking, there is a very classic practice -

In dishes, snacks, and even desserts that highlight the sweetness, salt is often required, and even watermelon is eaten in the east.

Among them, the saltiness seems to weaken the proportion of sweetness, but it highlights the presence of sweetness and makes the sweetness more full, which is a kind of subtraction.

Tang Sanzang's steamed buns have been perfected, but the reason why the staple food can never get tired of eating is because of its weak taste.

When grilling, the water of the steamed bread will evaporate, and the original soft taste will be hard, which undoubtedly destroys the flavor of the steamed bread itself.

Now, Chen Shanzang has taken the initiative to reduce the perfection of steamed buns, and whether he intends to use this to improve compatibility or highlight the flavor brought by barbecue ingredients, it is an attempt in the field of subtraction.

If you can think of this in the process of exploring the recipe yourself, you already have the most important "creativity", and you will not only refer to the recipe, but you will not understand why you are doing it in the recipe.

But......

The comprehension of culinary skills will not soar in the realm of enlightenment as Xiuzhen, so even if Chen Shanzang realizes the mystery of this subtraction......

It's still going to be unpalatable.

"Phew!" Spit out the wet steamed bun dregs in his mouth into the kitchen waste trash can, Shun Lie had an expression on his face that he didn't know how to scold if he wanted to scold, no way, if Chen Shanzang's previous trial work was processed according to ordinary recipes, but the taste was average, then now this thing completely interprets the dark cuisine of peanut butter wrapped in squid feet.

And as an authentic gourmet, he doesn't even know how to scold this kind of thing.

Although he didn't get Shun Lie's accurate evaluation, just looking at his expression, Chen Shanzang silently withdrew his searching eyes, broke a small piece and put it in his mouth, and then immediately turned around and began to redo it.

However, to Shun Lie's surprise, although this Chen Shanzang gave him a move to "break through the lower limit" at the beginning, after having this blow to break through the bottom line, he was optimizing at a rapid speed.

Although it is still difficult to eat, every bite of steamed bread can clearly perceive that it is better than the last time, as long as it is a mistake that he mentions, he will basically not ......

"Didn't I say it's useless to add water? Although steaming and roasting are both 'dehydration', the focus of steaming is to retain the most essential taste of food, which is the choice to maintain the original taste, and the focus of baking is to improve the taste. ”

Originally, Shun Lie, who thought that Chen Shanzang would not make a mistake twice on the same issue, looked at Mi Yuan's strange species, and immediately broke the big defense, and the whole person was not good.

When Chen Shanzang heard this, he muttered words such as "taste" and "original taste", and began to continue to make noodles.

"Interesting idea." Sun Xingzhi looked at Shun Lie's Qixing steamed buns that didn't move, but the corners of his mouth were upturned, and Shun Lie heard this, and said angrily:

"You just spoil him, and that's why those who are engaged in abstraction and postmodern art can like this kind of look! It is estimated that it can also be given a literary name...... Well, do you think it's called 'The End of Manju' or 'The Cause of Death in a Restaurant'? ”

"I'm not talking about that." Sun Xingzhi didn't care about Shun Lie's resentful tone, but said with a smile:

"Your kung fu hasn't reached this level, so you don't understand, those of us who practice martial arts, after we can be called masters, there are actually three levels."

"Oh?" Shun Lie suddenly became interested, although he can also use both hands, but compared with the master in front of him who is known as "understanding the Qi Tian Martial Scripture", he still knows the gap.

Sun Xingzhi did not hide this, and explained very generously:

"The first master realm, called 'Xi Tianxia Martial Arts', does not mean to learn all the martial arts in the world, but to understand all the martial arts ideas, such as thousands of boxing methods in this world, but in the end, but in the end, there are so many human muscles, no matter how many names there are, in essence, there are dozens or hundreds of punching routines, all these routines are clear, no matter what kind of tricks the opponent uses in the battle, you understand his intentions, know the flaws, and naturally invincible."

Sun Xingzhi said it easily, but this Shun Lie didn't feel simple at all, he only felt that this was already the highest level, but for Sun Xingzhi, this was just the entry of a master.

However, as soon as his brain turned, he also reacted, this master is for Sun Xingzhi, after all, for this big guy, if he can't reach this realm, he can't do it with a punch, how can he be considered a master?

Seeing that Shun Lie's expression changed several times, Sun Xingzhi was very satisfied, and continued:

"This second realm is 'Fusion of the World's Martial Arts', that is, the theories and principles that you have mastered are integrated into a furnace and turned into a set of martial arts."

"Does it make a difference?" Shun Lie frowned slightly, because in his opinion, this seems to be the same as the previous realm, after all, the opponent punches, whether you choose one of the kung fu you know to fight back, or use your own kung fu to fight back, the difference doesn't seem to be big, it's just a little higher in the force, but in his opinion, Sun Xingzhi obviously will not divide the realm because of a simple "force".

Seeing Shun Lie's question, Sun Xingzhi did not live up to his expectations, shook his head and said:

"The key is the word connection, although there are always people who say that they have to make a move and forget to move, and it seems that the routine is useless, but to put it bluntly, it is only the first realm, the reason why there is no trick to win, is because of their own realm crushing, two people who are not sticking to the trick meet together, what about it? Gangsters fighting? Can't break each other's moves? Competing for physical fitness? But what about the realm? ”

Hearing this, Shun Lie couldn't help but think about it, but Sun Xingzhi didn't give him much time, because this was not something that a person who wasn't even a master could figure out.

He just smiled and said:

"The so-called routines are not only a set of formulas corresponding to different situations, but also a kind of connection, the same set of martial arts, often has a process of changing moves, and this process belongs to rookies who think it is easy to use, familiar hands feel useless, and masters will find useful things."

"......" Shun Lie nodded slightly, he now belongs to the realm of "I feel that the routine connection is not as good as gaining twenty kilograms", but after thinking about it, I found that it is not so difficult to understand.

After all, what Sun Xingzhi said is so clear, two masters who are not limited to tricks fight, at a glance the other party raises his hand to know what the other party is going to do, and then immediately change the move, often the two sides have changed more than a dozen times in an instant, but the result of the game is that no one can make a move, if you want to win, you must be faster and more powerful, so that the other party is not as fast as your own moves, and you can't block the attack with restraint tricks.

But in this way, it fell into the strange circle of fighting for physical fitness as Sun Xingzhi said, so in this embarrassing realm, when physical fitness is not considered, the role of "cohesion" that can make the change of moves smoother is highlighted.

Master moves, hurry up, then it's boundless!

Looking at Shun Lie's expression, Sun Xingzhi knew that this kid understood, so he continued:

"Masters who have reached this second realm will have a martial art of their own, this set of martial arts is not necessarily strong, and it may not be able to be passed on, but it must be the most suitable for the master himself's kung fu, you see those high-ranking families, known as a certain kung fu once shocked the martial arts, but for hundreds of years, except for the original one, few people can practice, in the final analysis, this is the reason, because this kind of martial arts, most of them are only suitable for their own moves."

"What about the Third Realm?" Shun Lie listened to Sun Xingzhi's explanation, only felt that the door of martial arts had been opened, and couldn't help but ask, but Sun Xingzhi smiled and raised his chin, and pointed to Chen Shanzang's baked steamed buns with a postmodern abstract art temperament.

"Won't it?" Shun Lie looked at the thing that he was embarrassed to call a steamed bun, how could he not connect it with the top master, Sun Xingzhi was not surprised when he saw this, but said:

"It's because most people think like you, so the vast majority of masters feel that they have reached the top when they reach the second realm, and even if they still want to improve, it's just a set of kung fu that is looking for other masters to learn from and polish their own skills, even if it's me, it's only after I realized the Qi Tian Kitchen Sutra that I saw this third layer."

"So, what exactly is this third layer?" Shun Lie still didn't understand the subtlety of this, but Sun Xingzhi reached out and grabbed a piece of abstract steamed bread and stuffed it into his mouth, grinning his teeth, and said:

"Wrong."

"Wrong?" Shun Lie's eyebrows were twisted, and he became more and more incomprehensible, Sun Xingzhi spit the steamed buns in his mouth into the trash can, stood up and swayed two steps, and then said:

"It's just wrong, or you call it a bypass, exploring the underlying logic or something, but it's a bit of that kind of cheats that use a bunch of tall nouns to make people dizzy."

"Underlying logic...... What is the essence of martial arts? Shun Lie asked tentatively, but Sun Xingzhi sighed:

"I knew you'd be crooked."

As he spoke, he pointed to the steamed bun again:

"Do you know molecular gastronomy?"

"You know, it's a technology that analyzes the substances that give flavor to various foods from a scientific point of view, and then cooks them at the micro level, do you think that the future of cooking is molecular biology, like those researchers?"

Although Shun Lie is not the kind of old-fashioned antique, he has always thought that pure machinery cannot replace the cook, but Sun Xingzhi only looked at him with a meaningful look until he was covered in hair, and then said:

"Do you know where stinky tofu came from? What about stinky mandarin fish? What about edamame tofu? ”

"Of course, I know that after poorly preserved food deteriorates, the ancients, who are not rich in material, are reluctant to throw it away, so they can only eat it."

"Don't you understand?" Sun Xingzhi spread his hands and said:

"Even if you comprehend all the cooking skills in the world and understand all the ingredients in the world, you only have the existing 'everything', and you don't have anything outside of this 'everything'."

"I see!" Shun Lie only felt as if he had been empowered, and the whole person was much more transparent:

"You mean, study the mistakes and then look out for new possibilities from the myriad of mistakes?"

"That's right!" Sun Xingzhi clapped his hands with satisfaction and said:

"The third realm of the master is to explore the direction that is still unknown after mastering all the existing knows, and the method of exploring the unknown is 'wrong', you know that this way of exerting force is wrong, then why is it wrong, in addition to not using it, can it be compensated for by some kind of change, so that it becomes another 'right', or it can be applied in other places? It's the same with cooking, you know that two ingredients are a hell of a match, so in addition to not letting these two ingredients go together, can you add new ingredients to make three or more ingredients harmonious? Spoiled food is not edible, but if it is cooked in conjunction with a specific cooking, can this spoilage be reversed into deliciousness? ”

"Are you saying that Chen Shanzang has reached this realm?" Shun Lie's eyes when he looked at Chen Shanzang suddenly changed, but before the thought of looking up to the mountains could arise, he was slapped and shattered by Sun Xingzhi:

"What do you want? Chen Shanzang started to learn to sprint according to the video before he learned to climb, and your role is to teach him to climb and walk while he runs. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Xingzhi pointed to the mobile phone that was playing the video of the Monkey King Sutra repeatedly:

"Why do you think few people have been able to comprehend what is inside for so many years? Because everyone can't help but look at the part of the martial arts when they see the cooking skills, and they can't help but look at the part of the kitchen when they watch the martial arts, but in this video, both the martial arts and the kitchen are 'wrong', it's okay to learn one alone, but as long as you mix a little bit with the other side, it will be wrong. ”

"I see!" Hearing this, Shun Lie finally slapped his palms and said with emotion:

"You can realize the Qi Tian Kitchen Sutra because there is no kitchen in your eyes at all, and Wu has reached the realm of 'Melting the World Martial Arts', but how did Chen Shanzang do it?"

"His little kung fu is completely for the service of cooking, there is no martial arts in his eyes, and cooking is a half-baked person with only a foundation, he has no understanding of himself at all, but can accept the ideas inside from the beginning."

Speaking of this, Sun Xingzhi thought for a while, and finally concluded:

"It's probably the kind of 'genius' who happens to be able to practice martial arts that no one has practiced for hundreds of years...... Although this cheat is 'wrong'. ”

There are still two days before the new book is released, and I am too lazy to score the papers......
