Even Yan Kai felt a little embarrassed to be looked at by so many students with sad and angry eyes.
He didn't mean to tease these students, he really didn't. He really felt that seeing the texture and veins of everything in the world was a very simple thing, because he already had such an ability when he was ten years old, but he was practicing swordsmanship at that time. After reaching this field, it was later transformed into knife skills under Yan Fei's guidance.
Just mention something casually, no need to say more, really "everyone understands it".
He originally thought that this was a necessary skill for a chef. After all, chefs also use knives to mix food, so their eating skills can't be bad, right?
But after coming out of the house, Yan Kai discovered that most... no, most of the chefs were just as good as bastards. The food they made couldn't be eaten, so that's okay. Their knife skills were also a mess, and the things they cut out... ...Hey, it’s just a waste!
God knows how much perseverance he had to put in when he first entered the back kitchen of Xinchuan House so as not to beat those useless snacks to death. What kind of things did each of them make?
It wasn't until he spent some time at Xinchuan House that he fully understood that this was the industry standard in Japanese cuisine and that chefs in high-end restaurants were at this level. Only then did Yan Kai gradually calm down.
If only one thing in front of him is bad, then Yan Kai will naturally not tolerate it, but if the entire industry is equally bad, then Yan Kai can only relax his requirements.
After all, he wasn't here to change the world of Japanese cuisine. He didn't have much time to waste, so he could just suck. He would endure it.
Manager Kaito of Xinchuan Building knew what Yan Kai was thinking. In order to make Yan Kai not look down on the Japanese cuisine world so much, he once mentioned Yuanyue Academy to Yan Kai and told Yan Kai forcefully that the best of the Japanese cuisine world was all over. In Yuanyue, let "Great Yan Sang" not underestimate the Japanese cuisine world.
If he hadn't bowed ninety degrees when he spoke, his words would have sounded stronger.
Because of Manager Kaito's words, Yan Kai still has some expectations for the students of Totsuki Academy. In the past two days, he has also carefully observed the cooking skills of Totsuki students. The basic skills are extremely solid, and many students are also lacking. The courage and innovation ability to break through the original shackles when facing difficulties. In terms of knife skills, the basic requirements of being able to cut ingredients along the texture of all things have basically been met, but there is just a little bit of missing.
In Yan Kai's original expectation, he only had to demonstrate it in front of these Yuanyue students and then tell them the principles, and these students would naturally understand it, but now... ha!
However, "heh" returned to "heh", and he still needed to deal with the embarrassment in front of him. He thought about it and decided to apply for help outside the venue.
"Hey, are you uncle? I need to consult you on something."
While waiting for the students, Yan Kai picked up the phone and dialed Xue Wenhai's number.
If Yan Kai asked for help outside the court, it would naturally be Xue Wenhai. As the saying goes, "Ask your uncle when everything is in doubt." If you have any questions, just ask Xue Wenhai. This is absolutely correct.
"Xiao Kai, you ask."
Xue Wenhai guessed that Yan Kai should be teaching now and suddenly called him to consult him. It must be something important, so he asked Yan Kai to tell the problem without saying any nonsense.
"Well, how can we see the texture and veins of all things?"
Yan Kai's tone was a bit subtle, as if he was asking someone how to do the simplest addition and subtraction, and he was embarrassed.
"this……"
Xue Wenhai's tone was more subtle, with a hint of "there's no need to ask this".
Obviously, for him, the texture and veins of all things can be seen at a glance, and there is no way to explain how to see it.
Both parties on the call fell into silence. Finally, it was Xue Wenhai who took the lead to break the silence: "Xiao Kai, you are teaching students in the 'Star Hall' now, right? Don't worry, I happen to have someone here who can help you. I Bring him here."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Who can be the person who can help me?
Yan Kai couldn't think of who Xue Wenhai was talking about or who he was meeting.
After staying up all night for three nights, the "Star Pavilion" was completed this morning. After completing the task, Xue Wenhai said that he was going to visit a senior, and then left the training base, without specifying who he was going to visit.
After all, Xue Wenhai knows people all over the world. He doesn't know too many people. Even if most of them don't know his true identity, most of them don't even know the name "Xin Wenhai", but those who appreciate him recognize him as There are still many friends. In Tokyo alone, there are many people he can visit. How could Yan Kai guess who he was visiting.
Although he is not doing his job properly, no one can deny that Xue Wenhai is a very charismatic person. His affinity is very effective for people of any class and age group. On the first night of the training camp, he was even able to blend in with those people. The high school students who are just old enough to be his sons still get along very happily with them, and those Yuanyue students who usually have high standards do not reject Xue Wenhai, which all illustrates Xue Wenhai's charm.
But since Xue Wenhai said he would bring people who can help him, Yan Kai can only believe in Xue Wenhai and wait patiently for his arrival. Anyway, with Xue Wenhai's Qinggong movement, as long as he does not leave too far from the forest training base , can come back here in a short time.
The wait lasted twenty minutes, during which the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Yan Kai was okay, but Nakiri Erina had the urge to flip the table.
I asked you to be in charge of the training, but you ended up teaching me this?
Nakiri Erina's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she had a feeling that her carefully planned summer training camp was about to come to an end.
It is true that Yan Kai's knife skills are so exquisite that even Nakiri Erina would be amazed after seeing them. If he could learn such knife skills, it would be a great opportunity for any cook, but what is "the texture of all things" "Venation", who can see this!
We only tell students that everything in the world has textures and veins, so just follow them, but don’t tell them how to recognize the textures and veins. What’s the difference between this and throwing out a mass-energy equation and saying to people, “Come on, build me an atomic bomb.” ? Is there anyone so difficult for others?
Nakiri Erina put a lot of effort into this training. Although after the plan was rolled out, the results of the training itself became less important, but Nakiri Erina was a perfectionist, and she was born in late March by mistake. (Nakiri Erina's birthday is March 23rd, Aries). She is a Virgo who cannot tolerate any flaws in her plans, so she was very angry at Yan Kai for disrupting her plans, and felt that his behavior had lost her face. , will damage her prestige.
Of course, what made her even more angry was that she couldn't learn such a good knife skill, which disappointed her, bad review!
The students were also very angry. If they had never seen Yan Kai's miraculous knife skills, they would have been able to endure Yan Kai's lessons. However, Yan Kai showed them such magical knife skills first, and then did not teach them (actually There is no way to teach him), how can the students who have lost their hopes endure it? If they weren't worried that they couldn't beat him, I'm afraid many students would have rushed up to fight him.
But even so, they did not resort to violence against Yan Kai, and they all stared at Yan Kai with dissatisfaction.
But Yan Kai is Yan Kai, even in the face of so many people's dissatisfaction, he still remains calm.
Anyway, he is thick-skinned, not to mention glaring at him, even if he is scolded in person, he can completely bear it.
Twenty minutes after the phone call with Xue Wenhai, Xue Wenhai finally arrived. He walked slowly into the "Star Pavilion" carrying an old man on his back.
It is not correct to say that he is walking slowly. The frequency of Xue Wenhai's steps is obviously very slow and gentle, but his speed is astonishing. After the students noticed that he walked into the "Star Hall", in almost the blink of an eye, he was already carrying The old man stepped onto the round platform.
This strange feeling of separation caused all the students to ignore their dissatisfaction with Yan Kai and instead focus on Xue Wenhai.
The last time I saw Xue Wenhai was at night. The students all got to know Xue Wenhai by the light of the fire and the moon. At that time, Xue Wenhai had a hazy feeling about him. Now that I saw him in the daytime, I suddenly had a different feeling.
How can this man be so handsome!
Xue Wenhai, who always smiles, is indescribably handsome. Regardless of whether he is a boy or a girl, seeing him will make him tremble. Yoshino Yuki even shed tears at the corner of her mouth with excitement.
She really has no resistance at all to such a gentle and handsome handsome man... Ah, he is already forty and an uncle, how can he be repaired!
Yoshino Yuki seems to have been hit hard.
After reaching the round platform, Xue Wenhai squatted down and let the old man fall to the ground. After the old man stood up straight, Tian Suohui was the first to exclaim: "Grandpa!"
Yan Kai also took a step forward, bowed slightly and saluted the old man: "Uncle Liu, why are you here..."
The old man is naturally Uncle Liu, and he is the senior that Xue Wenhai said he wanted to visit before. Xue Wenhai and Uncle Liu did not know each other before, but Xue Wenhai knew that Uncle Liu had a relationship with Yan Fei and was now living in seclusion at Totsuki Academy, so he asked Erina Nakiri for permission to enter Totsuki Academy. Visiting Uncle Liu in Ji Xing Lao.
Although he has been away from his hometown for more than thirty years, Liu Kuiyang's name is still a myth in the Central Plains cooking world. Even Xue Wenhai admires him very much. It was never known where he lived in seclusion before. I only knew that he was under the supervision and care of Yuanyue Group. Now that Uncle Liu has accepted a disciple again, he has entered the public eye again. Xue Wenhai naturally wanted to visit him after getting the news.
Uncle Liu smiled kindly: "Xiaoxi...Xiaoxin came to visit me. He and I were chatting when I heard your call. I happened to miss you too, so I asked Xiaoxin to take me to see you. you."
Of course, coming to see Yan Kai was just an excuse. In fact, he came to rescue Yan Kai.
Yan Kai shook his head and sighed: "This little thing is not worth bothering you about."
Although Uncle Liu now looks very good and rosy, Yan Kai is a martial arts practitioner. He can feel that since the first meeting with Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu's vitality has become weaker and weaker. Perhaps It's one year, maybe two years. Uncle Liu's deadline is approaching. Recently, he has been increasingly unable to even teach Tian Suohui. He has to help clean up the recent mess. This makes Yan Kai Extremely guilty. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken this job. The reward for Erina Nakiri can be paid in other ways, and it does not necessarily mean that he will be responsible for her summer training.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Uncle Liu said with a smile, "As an old man like me, it's good for me to take this opportunity to get along with the young people more and soak up the youthful spirit."
Yan Kai had no choice but to turn around and attack Xue Wenhai: "Uncle, how old are you, why are you still acting like this!"
"Xiao Kai, I can't help but listen to Senior Liu's request!" Keep your head down, if my dad knows that I don’t listen to Senior Liu, he will definitely beat me again!”
"You'd better be beaten to death by grandpa! Uncle Liu is so old, and you actually dare to carry him here and run here without fear of bumping him!" Yan Kai said angrily.
It takes at least an hour or more to get to Totsuki Academy from here. This is under good traffic conditions. If there is a traffic jam, it may take much more time. Xue Wenhai can get here in twenty minutes. He must have carried Uncle Liu on his back all the way. Although Yan Kai also believed in Xue Wenhai's Qinggong, for this kind of thing, he was afraid of anything less than 10,000 yuan. If Uncle Liu was knocked down on the road, how could Xue Wenhai compensate him?
Uncle Liu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Your dad also carried me around on his back back then. My body and bones at that time were not much better than now, so I didn't come here like this."
More than 30 years ago, Yan Fei and Uncle Liu met like this and carried Uncle Liu all over the Central Plains. After that, it was not enough, so he went to Tianzhu, Siam, and then across the sea to Japan. They traveled thousands of miles through mountains, waded rivers, and crossed seas, but Uncle Liu didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Of course, Xue Wenhai's current Qing Gong has not reached the heights that Yan Fei had back then, but it is only a short distance from Yuanyue Academy to the Linjian Training Base. Xue Wenhai carried Uncle Liu all the way there and did not tire Uncle Liu at all.
But what Yan Kai is worried about is not the hardship of traveling on the road, but another level.
Uncle Liu was over ninety years old, but he was not shaky when he moved. He picked up the kitchen knife quickly and said to the students with a smile: "There are not so many mysterious things about this knife skill. There is no other, but you are familiar with it." . When you understand the ingredients well enough, you will naturally get a glimpse of their texture. We chefs want to get a glimpse of the texture of the ingredients. It doesn’t matter. We just keep practicing!”
The painting style suddenly became normal, and too normal, which made the students feel uncomfortable.
Practice hard? Who here hasn’t practiced hard? Who doesn’t fill up their spare time with various cooking-related exercises in addition to class time? There are too many talents in Yuanyue. Here, hard work is the foundation and no one dares to fall behind.
Uncle Liu sensed the emotions of the students. He continued to smile and said: "You are probably tired of hearing the same old tune, but I still want to ask, did you experience the ingredients when you were practicing knife skills? ? If you just use the kitchen knife mechanically without adjusting the cutting force, angle and other details according to the properties of the ingredients, it will be all in vain!"
Um?
The students' hearts moved. It seemed that the old man was starting to talk nonsense!
