Chapter Twenty-Three: Four Swords and Four Fires
"The practice of knife work has just begun, and this is just the basics. Through this practice, you should be able to understand that the basic of knife work is texture. Everything between heaven and earth has a texture, as long as you see through the texture of the ingredients, it becomes easy to cut vegetables, through such a texture to cut the ingredients, can minimize the damage to the ingredients, to ensure the perfection of the ingredients. Even if there is shape shaping, you should use your creativity according to the texture. Erica, you get the idea. ”
On the beach at sunset, Vera is teaching Erica. The two sat facing each other on the beach, with a fire burning in the middle. The empty fairy landed on the beach next to it.
"Well, using textures not only saves effort, but also cuts out the best shapes. Depending on the ingredients, there should be different ways to cut them. Erica picked up the firewood that had been prepared next to her and joined the fire, and the flames suddenly rose a lot.
"Take off your clothes and bake them dry. Vera asked, and Erica fell into the water, her clothes already soaking wet, sticking to Erica's body, showing Erica's barren figure.
On the other hand, Vera is erect, and the proud twin peaks are powerful capitals, and the contrast is obvious. In the eyes of the empty goblin next to her, as long as she stood there, Vera was the biggest blow to Erica. Looking at Erica's figure, the Sky Fairy remembered that at the beginning, he was just busy learning cooking and neglected the development of his body, which now seems to be a huge mistake. As a result, today's Erica loses the qualification to stand tall in front of others. Thinking about Erica's mother's figure, the empty goblin suddenly had a little confidence in Erica's future.
Alika touched her clothes, which were very uncomfortable. But the thought of taking off her clothes here still couldn't take it on.
Seeing this, Vera said: "Don't worry, this beach is not so easy to find, the transportation is inconvenient, and no one will come." ”
The Sky Goblin also said, "Well, if I didn't fly, I wouldn't have found this place." Normally no one notices here. ”
Hearing this, Erica felt a lot better, but as a former man, she not only hated being naked in front of outsiders, but she still didn't want to even be in front of Vera and the Sky Fairy.
She knew that she had such a mentality, and it would only be more inconvenient in the future. This is also the reason why she is so enthusiastic about witchcraft cooking.
After the transformation, he accepted the idea of asexuality in the soul. She has developed a cognitive impairment about her gender.
It would be worse to make her like a man than to kill her, but it didn't seem so easy for her to like a man with a girl.
Therefore, she can only choose to indulge in cooking and do nothing. Only then will she be able to settle down. This is also the consistent thinking line of otaku to escape from psychology.
"In terms of knife work, after knowing the texture, you need to start learning the four basic knife cutting methods. Vera gestured with her hand. "These four cutting methods are ** cutting, flat knife cutting, oblique knife cutting and mixed knife cutting. ”
Erica listened, and realized that Vera's hand swiping was also meaningful. With the stroke of Vera's hand, a white stick appeared on Vera's hand. Erica looked closely and found that it was made of many silk threads, which gradually turned into a kitchen knife.
Vera took the 'kitchen knife' and waved, and there was an extra straight line on the beach: "This is the ** cut." It is also the most basic way to cut. ”
"When will I be able to cut it so handsomely? For Vera's handsome cut, Erica was envious. As for the cut, Erica ignored it.
Then there were two more marks on the beach, and Vera pointed to the marks and said, "The oblique knife cut is very similar to the flat knife cut, and you have to carefully appreciate the similarities and differences between the two." As for the mixed knife cutting, it is required by special ingredients, and you need to master these cutting methods before you can master it. The so-called mixed knife cutting is because the ingredients are special, and one cutting method is not enough to apply, so several cutting methods need to be used alternately. ”
"And is there anything I need to pay attention to in these cuts?" said Erica, feeling that Vera had probably neglected herself when she spoke, and that she felt a lot less ashamed, and that her body was already wet, and it was even more uncomfortable to be baked by the flames.
So Erica took advantage of Vera's lack of attention and quietly began to undress. But the empty goblin next to him kept an eye on Erica, and when he saw that Erica was about to undress, he instantly pounced and helped Erica untie the buckle.
Vera didn't care about the blushing Erica and said to herself. "It's too early for you to talk about the cuts under each school of cuts. Let's talk about the basics. There are two things that knife workers need to pay attention to. First, different cooking methods require different cutting methods, and secondly, depending on the raw materials, the cutting methods required are also different. ”
At this time, Erica had already taken off her outer dress, and only ** remained.
The empty goblin breathed a sigh of relief and silently said, "Whew, there is still hope." ”
Even Vera turned her head to look at it, a little surprised, and couldn't help whispering to herself: "Although it looks ordinary on the outside, I didn't expect it to be a little bit." ”
Baking clothes, by the way, with the skirt taken off, to block Vera's vision, but the air goblin can't take care of it. The little air goblin flew up and down, constantly scanning Erica's figure, and from time to time let out a sigh of admiration or a lamented sigh.
Suddenly, Vera stood up, and Erica was startled, clutching her chest nervously and looking at Vera. There is no doubt that Erica's feminine factor comes into play as soon as she encounters such an emergency.
Vera pointed to the fire and said, "That's the end of the knife lessons, but the knife skills alone can't win the wizarding exam." So, we also need to practice the heat. Like knife work, there are four types of heat. There are four types of fire: light fire, small fire, medium fire, and large fire. ”
Erica was taken aback: "How do you practice the fire?"
"Of course you don't need to, the practice of heat is to burn. Next, I'll pick a hundred basic ingredients and ask you to cook them in several different ways and over different fires. ”
"Isn't this just memory education?"
"That's right, and in order for your body to remember that whatever the taste is, you have to eat it yourself, so that you can remember the difference between the cooking and the different flames. ”
"Why is this happening?" Erika was really frightened, different ingredients, different cooking methods, different flames, the taste of the most delicious must be very different, maybe there are delicious, but more of them are dark dishes that don't know what the taste of the road is. And she needs to eat so many dark dishes in order to remember the characteristics of the ingredients. In this way, it is not only a matter of practicing the heat, but more importantly, memorizing how to make various ingredients. In this way, it is equivalent to mastering the basics.
In order to pass the tough wizarding exam, Erica must quickly grasp the basics and understand the differences between the various ingredients. In order to achieve maximum speed and efficiency, this is the only way to do this.
So, from this day on, Erica's fire practice began, and on the same day, Erica's painful journey began.
