Chapter 7 The Creation of a Martial Arts

Winter goes to spring, spring passes and summer solstice, this moment, another half a year has passed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past six months, the land of France has been in chaos, and there is no intention of restoring calm.

After a winter of dormancy, as soon as spring began, the royalists of Paris marched to Marseille and fought several battles with the revolutionary army there.

But unexpectedly, what gained the upper hand was not the strong royalists with the support of the Holy See and the great nobles, but the revolutionary army with few soldiers and few talents. After a few battles, the royalists lost their troops, while the revolution stabilized its sphere of influence and had a faint tendency to counterattack.

What is even more unexpected is that the English army, which originally came to attack on a large scale and planned to completely annex France, did not move after annexing the northwestern part of France, and did not attack again while these two groups were inextricably fighting, but kept consolidating the city defense, strengthening the defense line, and looking like they wanted to hold on.

The city of Lyon, on the other hand, was relatively peaceful, with only the frequent arrival of emissaries from the royalists and the revolutionary army, which caused some minor disturbances.

The royalists said that they would support the unification, His Majesty the Emperor was the only remaining royal bloodline, the destiny supported by the Holy See and most of the great nobles, and the great merit of repelling the British, and the city of Lyon needed to send troops to support them, and together they would sweep away the rebellious party, expel the British, and revive France.

The revolutionary army trumpeted that the Holy See took advantage of the chaos in the city when the British broke through the city gates, sent people to slaughter the royal family, supported the puppets to come to power, and wanted our France to become a vassal of the Holy See and the cornerstone of their kingdom on earth, which was a complete conspiracy. Now only the legendary Marshal Napoleon can save France, save the people of France, and only he can clear the Holy See, expel the British, save France. Of course, this still needs everyone's support.

However, before the situation became clear, almost all the great nobles who were defending one side chose to wait and see, and refused to participate in it.

The city of Lyon was no exception, and the lord of the city, the Marquis of Serra, strictly ordered all the nobles of the city not to join any side, and even the envoys of both sides refused to meet each other.

But there are still many children of the nobility who left home and went to the front, some single-handedly, and some in groups of three or five to defect to the revolutionary army and their idols.

In the past six months, Zhang Ang's injury has also improved greatly.

I can already walk and do things on my own, and my stomach no longer hurts all day long, but I can't exercise vigorously.

After all, there is no "Eight Life-Extending Pills" on hand that works immediately and heals all injuries, and what is left in the ring are some pills that work slowly, so the recovery is also very slow.

During this period, Zhang Ang also tried to practice internal force, but unfortunately, once he got his luck, his lower abdomen was as painful as a knife, even if he endured severe pain for a week, the internal force he had refined would suddenly lose ninety percent, and even the last remaining one percent would dissipate within a few days. Now his dantian is like a cup with countless cracks, no matter how much water is poured in, most of it will leak out in a very short time, and only a thin layer of water that exists at the bottom of the cup will also evaporate and dissipate within a few days.

However, this did not affect Zhang Ang's status in the French Culinary Association.

Now the French Culinary Association has officially established itself in the city of Lyon, building the future Michelin Institute in the most beautiful part of the mountain at the foot of the Fourvière mountain.

A group of masters also worked hard and set up groups to accurately analyze, classify, systematically organize, convert, and further adapt and sublimate the recipes left by the Michelin masters. I want to compile a formal culinary martial arts cheats.

And Zhang Ang is now the leader of the knife art compilation group.

Recipes are very independent and unsystematic, and there are only methods and skills that use internal forces to use various knives to deal with specific ingredients, and only knife techniques that can deal with ingredients are definitely not martial arts. Except for the great chef who has dedicated his life to cooking, no one wants to learn this knife technique that can only deal with ingredients.

Fortunately, Zhang Ang has "Ku Ding Jie Niu Knife Method", and studied for a short time, but also has a deep understanding of this knife method, in the discussion and research of several masters in the group, Zhang Ang generously "Ku Ding Jie Niu Knife Method" in the various tricks, skills, use, and even moves have contributed one by one, so that the work of the group has been smooth, and has broken through several difficulties one after another, leaving several other groups far behind.

Chinese chefs are different from Western chefs, Chinese chefs generally only use one knife, which is a classic Chinese kitchen knife. The knives of Western chefs are much richer, including chef's knives, boning knives, bread knives, small cutters, large cutters, bone chopping knives, clam knives, and even scissors. In the "Ku Ding Jie Niu Knife Method", the use of Chinese kitchen knives is recorded. But fortunately, one method can be used in a hundred ways, although it is difficult, the chefs' exclusive knife skills are being created in an orderly manner.

Compared with the courage and diligence of the sword group, the other groups can be said to be gloomy, especially the internal strength group, which has made no achievements in the past six months, and the progress is zero.

Although Master Bernard relied on his strong internal skills to kill all sides in the City Lord's Mansion and established the status of the Association in Lyon, the internal skills he learned were not exclusive to the chefs.

As a descendant of Michelin masters, he learned the skills passed down by Michelin masters, and although powerful and easy to use, it is still not the exclusive skill of chefs.

After discussion, it was agreed that as a chef's exclusive internal skill, there are several characteristics: "precision", "continuity" and "control".

"Precision" allows chefs to better handle ingredients and accurately grasp the ratio of each ingredient and seasoning. When dealing with enemies, the moves will also be more precise and effective.

"Continuity" allows the chef to arrange the cooking sequence reasonably, and continuously prepare a variety of foods, so as to cope with a large number of diners with a very small number of people. When facing the enemy, you can also reasonably arrange the internal force to make the moves more orderly.

"Control" allows the chef to have complete control over the various kitchen utensils around him, even the temperature of the fire and the change in the nature of the water. When facing the enemy, you can better control the battle situation, control your body, grasp the advantages of the enemy and us, and make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses.

And most of the current internal strengths are generally characterized by obvious characteristics, either to increase power, or to speed up, or to strengthen defense, or to strengthen power, but also to strengthen speed, and so on. What is special is that it only adds the imitation of various wonders of the natural world, some are violent like fire, some are gentle like water, some are like thunder, some are warm like light, and some imitate the mountains, imitate the sea, imitate the sky, imitate the earth, all of which are the understanding of nature.

After the internal skills group was unable to advance for a long time, Zhang Ang decided to contribute several internal skills he had obtained to provide everyone's reference and speed up the progress.

It's just that this method of contributing still needs to be thought through.
